“……”

In a daze, Green seemed to hear someone calling him, and the unfamiliar voice made his dazed mind find a focus, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness.

He struggled to open his eyes, his eyelids seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds, and before he could regain his vision, there was a "buzz", the sound seemed to sweep through his brain, and the ear drums instantly resonated, until a few seconds later he even felt that there were ten thousand bees buzzing in his head, and the sound was long-lasting, and it took a long time before he gradually regained his hearing.

Green grunted as he pressed his forehead, finally remembering what had happened.

It was a whip that swept across the orchard—

It's horrible.

In the last moments of his fall, he saw the roaring attack, and if his memory was not wrong, the rolling "whip" was actually a red tongue - if there was such a big tongue in the world.

Fortunately, before the huge tongue curled up in front of Grimm, he was already lying on the ground, and although he was knocked unconscious by the air wave, it seemed that he had been a blessing in disguise, and he had just escaped the range of the attack.

Green couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he fell to the ground in such a hurry that his whole face hit the ground, and his face hurt at this moment, and it was all blood.

"Y-Are you alright?"

As soon as the slightest movement sounded, Green's movements immediately froze.

Only then did he remember that there was a voice that woke him up, and he hurriedly looked up, and the creature in his eyes made him can't help but raise his hand to pull out the Flame Shadow Sword-

Wait, where's my sword?

Reaching out and touching the air around his waist, Green was surprised to find that the saber on his waist and the Hidden Blade on his right wrist were all gone.

“…… Are you—Are you looking for these? ”

The small voice asked timidly, and Green couldn't help but roll her eyes as she looked at it. All of his weapons were hung on the canopy of the tree in front of him.

Well? This tree is ......

Green was suddenly shocked, and when he looked around, he had actually returned to the light fog area on the outskirts of the fruit forest, where there were only a few scattered fruit trees, most of which were usually familiar jungle plants. He turned his head again, and there was no sign of Cercis, Unhappy, or Delga.

Green looked up. I had to look at it.

It's a little goblin.

"Huh? It's you? After looking so closely, Green suddenly asked in surprise.

"Do you know me?" The little goblin hid behind a tall sword grass, grabbed the blades of grass with both hands, and asked cautiously with a small head exposed.

Green nodded, this was the same goblin he and Assesis had first seen, "My companions and I saw you in that woods, and we wanted to ask you what was going on here, but you flew away and disappeared. ”

"That's, that's because, because they're coming......"

The leprechaun said a little fearfully. It looked a little sad again.

Green didn't know why, so he simply changed the question, "By the way, did you see my companion?" But he didn't get a response, because the boy saw that the little goblin was tilting his head and staring at him, looking inexplicably cute, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then redescribed. It is...... One was very tall and big, holding such a big sword. Another one is covered in bones, and the other has a head like this, have you ever seen it? ”

Green imitated as he spoke, eager to grow eight hands to gesture up and down his body.

Fortunately, the little goblin let out an "ah", revealing such an expression.

"I—I've seen them!"

"So what?"

"So what?" The leprechaun craned his neck again.

"So you see where they went!" Green slapped him in the face. Is this guy Yaga......

"Oh, they're sucked away."

Grimm patiently asked, "So what did they suck them into?" ”

"It's like a black hole."

Black hole?

Green was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She should be talking about her pet space, but without my instructions, how can the pet space be opened? Even if Assesis opens the pet space, he has to get my permission, maybe he can open the pet space with too strong control, but who can do this?

"Did you see who opened the black hole?"

"Yes."

“…… Can't you finish it all at once? Do I have to ask all the questions? "Green has a black line on his head.

"Of course, how do you know what you want to know without asking me?" The little goblin showed a natural expression, but his eyes revealed doubts about Green, as if he was thinking about whether this big guy was stupid?

The boy grabbed the ground with his head.

After a pause, Green decided not to fit the cautious and rigid little guy's efforts, and he directly threw all the questions, "Have you seen who opened the black hole?" Or is there any special table xiàn? ”

"I—I only see a white light, and I don't know anything else." The leprechaun replied truthfully.

White light? What is that?

Green frowned and thought for a while, but he had no clue about the white light that the goblin said, so he had to give up for the time being.

"By the way, you took my stuff?" He looked up at the top of the tree more than ten meters high, then at the little goblin, and saw her nodding timidly, it was really hard to imagine how such a small thing could be done.

"Can you give it back to me?"

Unexpectedly, the little goblin actually cowered and shook his head.

"Mom said that strangers are dangerous, I—I didn't know you were a good person, so I couldn't give it back to you......"

Green put his hand on his forehead.

"Well, how do you prove I'm a good person?" The height of the tree was not a problem to be taken down with Green's ability, but he still had something to say to the goblin, which inevitably scared her away, so Green had to follow her routine. It's just that I didn't expect this question to seem very difficult, so I immediately asked the little goblin. She put her finger in her mouth and thought about how to prove it.

Green rolled his eyes, he thought about it, and simply pulled out the bag containing dessert from the reserve food in the system space, found a piece of gingerbread and handed it to the goblin.

"Ah, what is this?"

The round little human-shaped gingerbread made the goblin retract its head in fright. But after a while, she came out again, as if she smelled the sweet smell, and her eyes blinked, looking at the gingerbread with a salivating look.

"This is called gingerbread, and it is a dessert in our human world, so I will give it to you as a gift to prove that I am a good person." Green nudged the little ginger man. Although the miracle is followed in the Western-style world, but in the progress of various cultures, it adopts a unique setting, and the desserts in this world are not rare, if it were not for the travel restrictions, I am afraid that Green would serve cakes, so the temptation should be greater.

But Rao is like this, the little goblin is already hesitating, and seems to be a little swaying in his heart.

So the young man shook Jiang Ren'er and put on a few stupid poses.

Sweet again. It's fragrant, it's cute, it's fun......

The little goblin's reason was finally crushed by temptation, she suddenly flew out and grabbed the gingerbread, and then took a quick bite, and was immediately moved to tears, "Hmm...... Delicious, you're such a nice person. ”

A piece of gingerbread for a good guy card. I don't know if it's worth it or not.

Green was disgusted, and at the same time felt incredulous at the fact that the leprechaun was exactly the same simple logic as in the game. Once again, she was given a clear position in her heart - greedy and stupid.

"I'm the 'good guy' Greenfield, you can call me Green."

The boy stretched out a hand, reacted, and quickly curled up four fingers, leaving only his index finger to reach for the little goblin.

The leprechaun hesitated, but she looked at the life-size gingerbread man she was holding in her arms. Immediately dispelled the only vigilance, stretched out his little hand to grasp Green's fingers and shook them, and responded crisply: "My name is Arietti." ”

"Arieti? What are you going to borrow? Green blurted out.

"Huh?"

The little goblin looked at Green inexplicably, and the young man suddenly lost his words, and quickly laughed and snorted.

Arieti wondered. But she quickly thought of something, and hesitated for a long time before she reluctantly let go, flew back behind the sword grass, and then in Grimm's curious gaze, she was busy with something, and finally shook the grass, and came back with a trumpet-like plant.

"Mom said to give you a gift."

Green took it in surprise, and started to look at the so-called flower as a kind of container, which contained a golden liquid that looked like nectar. Green leaned over and sniffed, and there was a strange floral scent.

"Aren't you drinking?"

The leprechaun Ariette shook her head, "This doesn't taste good. ”

Nima, if you don't drink it, you give it to me......

Green's head was full of black lines, but when he saw the little goblin's eyes shining with an expectant look, he had to raise the flower cup and take a sip, but the result made Green a little surprised, this thing tasted surprisingly good, with a hint of sweetness in the fragrance, it was not a bad thing at all. Green glanced at the leprechaun, then at the gingerbread she had hugged back into her arms, and suddenly understood.

The so-called good and bad of this little guy is probably related to the sweetness, compared to gingerbread, this drink is indeed light.

"Arieti, are you a goblin?"

Finally confirming the identity of the good man, Green was not in a hurry to get back the equipment, sat cross-legged on the ground, and asked while sipping a drink from the flowers.

The little leprechaun, who was busy munching on gingerbread, nodded.

"So which goblin are you? Is it a lake goblin? ”

Arieti nodded again.

And so it was!

Green's heart lit up, and when he saw her before, he recalled this image of the goblin in his mind, and then he heard Assesis talk about the taste of the lake water, and immediately made him associate this little thing with the lake goblin. The so-called lake goblins, strictly speaking, cannot be regarded as a branch of goblins, because their official name should be called lake fairies, which can be regarded as distant relatives of goblins, and there is no difference between them and goblins in appearance, but the difference is that goblins can often only use applicable elements, while lake goblins can use some magical spells, and these spells tend to be close to drilling loopholes, that is, the second-level power system of the pyramid mentioned earlier.

But that's not all, compared to ordinary goblins, there are countless legends of lake goblins. In Following the Miracle, the quest about the lake elves can almost be written into a book, although most of them are meaningless bonus side quests, but in the remaining part, the world-famous Supreme Holy Sword is inseparable from the lake elves, as for the Holy Grail and elf stones, it is even more fascinating, so recognizing Arieti's identity, Green is inevitably a little excited.

But two other things quickly came to his mind.

"What just happened? I mean, that tongue, do you see that? ”

The little goblin, who was gnawing on the hard pieces of gingerbread, suddenly froze, she subconsciously raised her head and looked around, and then patted her little chest like a sigh of relief, and replied in a low voice: "That's the guardian god Flogg." ”

Guard......

Grimm squirted the drink out of his mouth, Patronus? So the berserk guy is the patronus!?

"Frog used to be very well-behaved, but then everyone became weird, and then they became weird." Arieti said lightly rubbing the gingerbread man and feeling a little lost.

"Everyone?" Green suddenly froze, "You mean the goblins who attacked us?" They're lake goblins too? ”

"Hmm."

She nodded vigorously, "Everyone and Arieti are good friends, but then they suddenly changed and wanted to kill Arieti, and Arieti had to run away. Mom said that Ariette should be strong, Ariette should be brave, and Ariette should help everyone. ”

The leprechaun sat on the ground with the gingerbread man in his arms, looked up and looked at Green with tears in his eyes.

"But now, Arieti is the only one left......" (to be continued......
