Chapter 35: The Goblin Patriarch
Who would have thought that goblins could have such a thing as cavalry!
To be reasonable, although "Goblin Slayer" left a deep impression on me, but after all, it was watched in my last life, and I have long forgotten many details of things.
And after all, this is a matter of two worlds, I was careless, but if someone accidentally died, I would scold the screenwriter for being brainless!
These are two concepts!
To be honest, I'm a little worried, but I don't have much of a sense of urgency.
After all, there are two violent Loli and a big meat shield by his side.
At least my safety is still guaranteed.
But how exactly do I accomplish this?
What a headache!
Let's go to the village first, find out the situation, and make a decision.
I really regret why I didn't take on some other mission, it was too much trouble to destroy the goblins.
These goblins can't be beaten and run, and you can't find them if they run, and people like to sneak attack behind their backs.
It's really troublesome to want to exterminate!
Thinking about it makes me sleepy, sleepy and sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, sleepy
By the time I opened my eyes, I was already lying in the carriage, with Li Xue's thigh under my head.
Li Xue saw that I woke up, and complained directly: "Brother, do you know how well you can sleep? We all arrived for a while before you woke up!"
Forehead......
Truth be told, I didn't feel embarrassed at all about my sister's lap pillow, rubbed my sleepy eyes, sat up and asked, "Are we in Greene Village?"
Li Xue nodded, and said helplessly: "It's already here!" I said that you have been busy for a day and finally fell asleep, so I will let you sleep for a while, Ling'er and the dead fat man are learning about the situation with the village chief and a squad leader-level officer. ”
Have you done so much?
Looks like I've been sleeping for a long time!
Stretching comfortably, I touched my stomach and asked embarrassedly, "Li Xue, do you have anything to eat?"
I would never admit that I woke up hungry.
If it weren't for the fact that I was too hungry, I would probably have slept until daytime the next day.
Li Xue shook her head helplessly, and as soon as her spiritual power flashed, water and dry food appeared in front of me.
It's worthy of being my own sister! I really know my brother very well!
I filled my stomach as fast as I could, and then said to Li Xue: "Li Xue, let's go, go see what the village chief has to say." I've always felt like there's something wrong with the goblins here. ”
To be honest, I really don't believe that goblins have cavalry.
Truth be told, I was shocked when I saw the goblin with the wooden spear in his hand.
The biggest evolutionary difference between humans and animals is that humans use tools, while animals don't.
One evolved the brain, the other evolved the biceps.
In my perception as a science and engineering man, I have always thought that these are two evolutionary directions.
Isn't the emergence and improvement of tools the evolutionary process of human beings?
But today goblins have learned to ride horses, and some of them have weapons in their hands, which is really surprising to me.
Although things went beyond prediction from the time we started, it really left a bad impression on me.
Well, although I personally don't want to admit it, I still have to thank my dad for forcing me to read a few archives or articles written by himself since I was a child, which also makes me calmer the more I encounter this situation.
The word calm is the experience that my father has accumulated with his life and blood.
I'm happy to inherit it.
The most urgent task now is to address the lack of existing intelligence.
Li Xue led me to a wooden house in the middle of the village, knocked on the door gently, and an old voice came out: "Come in." ”
Li Xue and I pushed the door in, and as soon as I entered, I saw Zhou Shuai and Su Ling'er sitting on the side, and in front of them sat an old man with gray hair and a middle-aged man wearing federal armor.
Zhou Shuai and Su Ling'er saw me coming, and a trace of joy flashed in their eyes.
I myself wonder why I, the weakest of the strongest, have become the center.
Li Xue is my own sister, let's not talk about it, Zhou Shuai and Su Ling'er are almost obedient to me now!
With a helpless smile in my heart, I respectfully bowed to the old man and the middle-aged man on the surface, and I introduced myself: "My name is Lotte, and I am an adventurer who has just registered. We've been tasked by the Guild to eradicate goblins. ”
"Hehe, kid, we know this. The old man smiled mildly and continued, "Welcome to Greeney Village, I am the head of this village, just call me Old John. This is a squad leader in the Union Army, and his name is Bowen. Children, if you have any questions, just ask, the old man must know everything. ”
I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, although Old John was extremely cooperative with me, and even knew what I was going to do before I could speak, but I always felt that Old John had a negative emotion.
It's like ..... Make every possible effort?
This can't help but confirm my worries, of course, what I'm worried about is the safety of me and Li Xue, Su Linger and Zhou Shuai.
Facing the seemingly gentle old John, I didn't say much, and asked directly to the old John: "Village Chief, according to my understanding, the goblins here have been here for about half a year, and due to various problems, neither the Federation nor the Adventurers' Association have solved them. I want to know what the hell is going on?"
Although Su Ling'er is a cultivator, he can fly a goblin with a hammer in two seconds, so how can ordinary people say that they can also defeat a goblin, right?
I haven't seen much of this village, but if the whole village goes together, at least it won't be a problem to drive the goblins away.
If you do this, how can it happen that pedestrians are attacked on the road?
Old John was obviously stunned for a moment, probably he didn't expect me to ask such a sharp question in the first place. Old John shook his head helplessly and replied, "Little friend, your question is good." Then I'll tell you why these goblins have dragged on until now. Children, you should know the situation in our village when you come by carriage. Our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and all of them are forested. Although our village is at the foot of the mountain, we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and our ancestors have been mountain people for generations. But this has also led to the poverty of our village, the mountains are good, but the monsters in the mountains also make it impossible for us to have too high income. We've raised this issue with the Adventurers' Guild and the Federation since we discovered the Goblins, but since we can't afford to pay too much in commission, the Adventurers' Guild refuses to help us with this matter. The large troops of the Federation also couldn't get in because of the bad roads, so they dragged on and on. ”
I held my chin with one hand, as if I understood something.
After thinking about it for a while, I asked again, "Then the village chief, apart from us, how many adventurers have come here to solve this problem?"
Judging from the appearance of Zhou Shuai of the Adventurers' Guild and the fact that we were able to find the carriage so smoothly at the city gate, there must be something wrong with it.
Sure enough, Old John's face changed suddenly, and he looked at me dumbfounded and then said dejectedly, "You are the fourth batch." The first three batches of people died and walked, and in the end they did not solve the problem. ”
"Huh?" I raised my eyebrows, surprised, "how could they still be dead? ”
We all know the strength of goblins, and there are many cultivators among the adventurers, even if they are not cultivators, they are also doing the work of licking blood on the edge of the knife, and their actual combat ability is even much stronger than that of many cultivators.
How can a dead person be possible in such a situation?
Old John sighed slightly, and said with some despair: "The last group of survivors told us that there are goblins in this group of goblins who have evolved into goblin patriarchs. ”
"What?"
Li Xue, Su Ling'er, and Zhou Shuai were shocked.
Me: "Ahh ”
Goblin Evolution has been said for a long time, and I've been mentally prepared for it for a long time. But Li Xue, the three of them reacted too much, right?
Rischer took my arm and explained to me, "Goblins are small things, but goblin patriarchs are big things. If there really is a goblin patriarch, then it will not be adventurers, but the army of the Federation, and even our father will have to come in person. ”
Is it such an exaggeration?
I asked rhetorically, "How could the Adventurers' Guild let the three of us come for such a big matter?"
Wait a minute!
As soon as I said this, I noticed the problem.
If even Li Xue values the goblin patriarch so much, then this patriarch must be a great threat. But now it's just an adventurer who says yes, and the association has asked us to come over in a team, I'm afraid not to complete our mission, but to let us find out the situation.
That's a good calculation!
Teaming up can minimize casualties and pass back information.
And the news of the Goblin Patriarch can make the Adventurers' Guild a lot of money in the hands of the Federation.
It's not a loss.
There was a sneer on the corner of my mouth, I can't control you if you cheat others, but you cheat me Young Master Lotte, then you have to at least think about the consequences for me, right?
So, I asked the people in confusion, "What is the Goblin Chief?" ”
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
......
I looked at the staggered people with a confused expression, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you so excited?"
Li Xue patted me on the shoulder, gave me a thumbs up by the way, and said with a broken face: "Brother, do you know how quickly your face became just now? I thought you had something to do?
Went around and around and around and went back to the question.
But I looked at Li Xue with an innocent face and retorted, "You didn't say what he was!"
I'm pouring ~~~
