The reason why kobolds are called kobolds is not because they really have a dog's head, but for many reasons, first of all, the two horns on their heads are on both sides of their heads, a bit like dog ears, and secondly, their facial features are a bit weird and hairy compared to other horned people, and at the same time, their dialect is a bit like the sound of a puppy barking, which is called kobolds when combined.

The height of kobolds is generally not high, using the standards of the earth, Adult kobolds are about 1.5 meters tall, ugly faces, strange language, and chattering, all kinds of characteristics make them often treated as clowns, but kobolds are actually not to be underestimated, even in the most powerful period of the thunder beast ranch, when the hero of the world was alive, even if there was a conflict with the kobolds, it was just forbidden for the kobolds to appear in the area controlled by the thunderbeast ranch, not directly to eliminate them, you must know that the hero of the world Crumb is by no means a benevolent person, and it can even be said that he is a little brutal, he has wiped out several tribes on the Tanner grassland for the sake of jealousy, but from his attitude towards kobolds, it is enough to say that the kobolds are strong, they are well trained.

It's just that in any case, these kobolds would not have expected that in the grassland council, which values peace, someone would dare to attack them blatantly, and at the same time, their methods would be silent, making it difficult for people to guard against.

The carriage drove by, past the kobold Nubi and his party, and came to a halt, and Lovren and Kidd dodged out of the carriage and blocked the way.

The kobold Nubi was full of wine and food, it was the time when the defense was the lightest, he was frightened and defenseless, and suddenly saw that the two had not yet reacted, as the envoy sent by the kobold in the Prairie Council, he traveled extensively, and there were many people here who knew him, and he may not know all these people, and he had not had time to react, Lovren laughed and said: "I finally found you, let's drink together, don't get drunk and don't return!" ”

"Ahh You are ......"

Nubi tried to recall the impression of the person in front of him in his memory, and before he could come up with a clue, Loveren patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and the fine powder floated to the end of Nubi's nose, Nubi soon became a little confused, and was secretly supported by Loven and Kidd on the side, and the kobold guards behind him thought they were old friends, and when they didn't care, the two waited left and right, and easily carried Nubi into the carriage.

After a while, when Nubi came to his senses, he was already in a dark room, Nubi was not stupid, and soon realized what was happening, his face became a little pale, but he was still calm:

"Who are you?"

The three people in front of him looked at him with a smile.

Yan Shouyi said: "Don't be nervous, we are not robbers who kill and rob, as long as you are willing to answer some questions obediently, we will release them immediately after asking for advice." ”

Nubi quickly swept the three of them covertly, but felt his hands and feet tremble a little uncontrollably, he forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath and said, "Is there any misunderstanding between us?" In fact, I don't know any of them......"

Kidd said lightly, "Oh, are you the kobold Nubi?" ”

Nubi's eyes moved, nodded and said: "That's not my name, we kobolds are generally not very recognizable, because we look more like each other, you said Nubi is my distant cousin, there is a trace of blood relationship between us, maybe that's why we are similar, hey, it would be good if I were Nubi, because he is our envoy and has a noble status, which is like I am a small trader who works hard here......"

Yan Shouyi turned his head to Loveren and said in surprise: "This guy really doesn't seem to know who we are, otherwise how dare he tell such a ridiculous lie with his eyes open?" ”

Lovren laughed, "The kobolds are full of spies, baguettes, thieves, assassins, artists, and crooks, and I think Envoy Nubi is the best of the crooks. ”

Nubi immediately showed a frightened look, obviously knowing that he was lucky this time, because the other party was obviously prepared, he said sharply: "Who are you! If you know me, you should know what happens if you offend kobolds! ”

"Haha!" Yan Shouyi said with a smile: "It turned out to be Nubi's envoy, we didn't make a mistake!" Since he is a special envoy, he must be very valuable, let's first rob him of valuable things, and then detain him, and then lend money at high interest rates, let him pay for food and housing, and wait for someone to send someone to his subordinates to send news, and ask them to raise a huge amount of money to help him redeem himself, how to say, we want money and not death, we don't do illegal things. ”

Nubi didn't believe it at all, after listening to her words, he felt that his life was more likely to be in danger this time, he was a liar, too familiar with the tricks of deception, and the little girl in front of him, it should be said that she was the Heavenly Destiny Knight of the Thunder Beast Ranch, she was fooling people at all, if it was a robbery, why shouldn't she show her true face in front of him, you must know that their kobolds' revenge is not vegetarian!

Obviously, the other party is ready to kill people.

However, Nubi immediately pretended to be relieved and said: "If you want money, it's easy to say, everyone knows that we kobolds have the best miners, and we are so rich that we are oil!" ”

"Yes, yes, tell me what your oil is."

"Everybody knows it's a golden liquid, it's taken from the ground, it's rare, and of course it's for everyone else......"

"What happens if you drink it?"

"Very wonderful. The whole person will become light, full of power and color, and everything in the world will become beautiful, so that the world will be different. Nubi said solemnly: "The most important thing is that at this time we can communicate with the gods of faith - as long as your faith is sincere enough, in fact, for many people who have true faith, they are willing to exchange all their wealth for even a little bit of oil." ”

"Sounds very good." Yan Shouyi said, he thought in his heart, this thing sounds like a drug, but it is said that the power of kobolds comes from oil, and those statements that communicate with the gods sound like hallucinations, but it is not excluded that there are some doorways in it, Yan Shouyi is searching for some good medicine to repair and nourish the primordial spirit, and he is particularly interested in this kind of thing.

At that moment, he offered to blackmail the equivalent of a moderate kobold colony for a year's worth of oil, and Nubi agreed. ”

Subsequently, Yan Shouyi talked about it, and asked some other tribes' treasures, mostly about eating and drinking, Lovren and Kidd listened to a stomach full of doubts, and the person concerned, Nubi, was even more confused, this Thunder Beast Ranch's Destiny Knight, wouldn't the purpose of kidnapping him be to ask these worthless questions, right? It would be so sad if he died because of this!

Just when he was worried, Yan Shouyi suddenly asked: "I heard that the Demon Scorpion Clan often robs the merchants on the grassland, and the goods they rob are laundered by you kobolds, is there such a thing?" ”

Nubi's heart tightened, and he was about to deny it, but Lovren had already leaned in and said viciously: "Be cautious when you open your mouth, and cut off your eggs if you say the wrong word, understand?" ”

Nubi's words suddenly stopped, and he hesitated a little, Kidd silently took out his dagger, and Nubi hurriedly said when he saw this: "I said I said, alas! Why are you asking me when you know that? If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Scorpion Clan was not through our kobold traders all over the grassland, how could they quickly sell the dirt and make a profit and accumulate wealth? This is actually an open secret of the steppe. ”

"Oh, I don't think so, in addition to helping the Demon Scorpion Clan bulk goods, don't you also provide them with arms?"

“…… This, occasionally, and we have deals like this with many tribes, which is not special. ”

"I heard that just recently, you and the Demon Scorpion Clan were talking about a big deal in armaments, is it true?"

Nubi said with a bitter face: "You know more things than I do, this is a trade secret, and I don't know the details in it, because this kind of thing is not something I can participate in, and I am not responsible for these things." ”

"So who's in charge?"

Nubi replied, "His name is Poppy, and I would be grateful if you could trouble him." ”
