Chapter 4: The Great Goblin 2
At this time.
Su Ziyu really feels like he has come to a fairy tale.
He sees a fairyland-like town, meets a group of hospitable but talkative goblins who prepare unusually sumptuous food for themselves, and a few funny big-nosed goblins playing strange instruments and making crisp and pleasant sounds.
The deviant Peak sat on his right, chattering and asking all sorts of strange questions.
Most of it is about a place called 'Chessboard Country'.
It is the kingdom of mankind, with an unusually beautiful White Queen, a white-bearded bishop, a majestic knight, and a fierce and elite soldier. Su Ziyu only nodded or shook his head occasionally, and didn't give Peak any response, but he still kept nagging, as if to prove to the other big goblins that he had really been to that place.
Their food was plentiful and delicious.
Most foods can taste a mushroom, and those various mushrooms seem to be their staple food. In return, Suziyu took out half of his compressed biscuits and two-thirds of the chocolate bars and gave them to the goblins, who loved the novelty of the food, and even had children fight over the chocolate bars.
The male goblins have older faces, and most of them like to have beards, while the female goblins have softer faces, but they talk more and have more broken mouths, and they like to get together and whisper.
Their mead wine tastes like sweet rice wine, with a fruity aroma and a low alcohol content.
But these big goblins don't drink much.
After only a few sips, his face was red, his big nose became red, and some people made a fuss because of a few words, making a gray face, and others didn't care and didn't stop it, but instead smiled and watched from the side, and some people followed suit.
It feels like they're a bunch of kids who don't grow up, but they're not dangerous.
Little by little, time passed.
As the banquet ended, the other big goblins also returned to their residences, and the great elder arranged a large room for Su Ziyu, but the bed was still a little small for him, so he simply slept on the floor.
"It's better not to go out at night."
Under the dim candlelight, the elder goblin's gaze was a little wandering, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There is a bad-tempered witch living in this forest. She can sometimes be seen at night and can be dangerous if encountered. ”
Witch?
Since there are magical creatures like goblins in this world, it's not surprising that there are witches as well.
Su Ziyu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he heard this, and nodded towards the fairy elder to show understanding. Soon the lights outside went out one by one, and the whole town fell silent, in contrast to the previous bustling environment.
There was silence all around.
I don't know when, a layer of mist rose outside, and there was a faint sound of some stinging and soo, as if there were rats moving at night.
Suziyu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
He slowly stood up, pressed his hand to the hilt of the knife at his waist, and the pistol in his right hand quietly opened the safe.
After experiencing so many worlds, he certainly didn't really think that he was in a fairy tale world, and the woman who claimed to be from Atlantis had told him that the hourglass of time would take him in search of unspeakable horrors, whether he wanted it or not.
Everything that seems beautiful and fairytale-like during the day must have hidden unknowable darkness behind it.
Squeak.
Su Ziyu's door was gently opened, and then a very slight footstep was heard, which was approaching the room little by little.
When this sneaky figure just walked into the room, suddenly a cold short blade was on his neck, and then Su Ziyu's deep voice sounded: "What do you want to do when you sneak into my room at night?" ”
With the faint light, Su Ziyu was able to see that the person who infiltrated was a big goblin.
"You're even better than I thought." A slightly hoarse voice rang out.
The big goblin's head suddenly twisted 180 degrees strangely, stared at him with slightly cloudy yellow-brown eyes, and said slowly, "A human? Why did you come to the Forest of Dreams? ”
"The witches guarding this place have gone mad."
"There's nothing they can do to help you."
Thriller.
The big goblin suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, which frightened Su Ziyu and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. And when he saw the appearance of the big goblin in front of him clearly, Su Ziyu felt a trace of creepyness, and even a trace of cold sweat appeared on his back.
"Peak?" Su Ziyu stared at the unusually old face in front of him and asked in a puzzled tone.
The whole face of the big goblin in front of him looked like an old man in his hundred years, covered with many wrinkled wrinkles, but his face was very similar to the Peak he had seen during the day, and he looked like another Peak who was too old to be good.
"Boom." Old Peak in front of him let out a hoarse and ugly laugh.
Like an old man who was about to die of thirst, he opened his mouth, his chapped lips showed a row of sharp and sharp teeth, licked his lips with his slender tongue and said, "I'm not that idiot, you can call me Jack." ”
"Humans."
"I know you have a lot of doubts, maybe we can sit down and talk."
The guy who called himself Jack was dressed in the clothes of Daytime Peak, and he turned his head 180 degrees and turned back, and sat directly on the low table next to him after Su Ziyu withdrew the blade.
He stared at Su Ziyu, his cloudy yellow-brown eyes staring at him, and said slowly, "You're here for the witch?" ”
"Hmm." Su Ziyu paused for a moment and nodded slightly.
Although he didn't know who the witch was in the other party's mouth, it didn't prevent him from following the other party's words to find out more information.
"It's useless." Jack smiled nervously, his face trembling with wrinkles, and said, "The witches have gone crazy. They're dead, they're missing, and only the youngest witch still shows up occasionally. ”
"Trust me."
"You definitely don't want to meet her."
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his language, and said slowly: "What's going on here?" ”
Compared to the funny and cute goblins during the day, Jack looked like a monstrous monster, his exposed arms were bony and his pale phalanges had sharp jet-black nails that tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he muttered in a deep voice, "Cursed here." ”
"We're all tainted by nightmares. Everything you see during the day is just an illusion. ”
"Follow me. Whisper. ”
Jack stood up gently, pushed open the door and made a silent gesture, motioning for Su Ziyu to follow slowly.
There was a faint fog outside.
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, followed with a weapon, and Jack led him to the outside of a wooden house, stood at the window and pointed inside, "See for yourself." ”
"It's all real!"
Su Ziyu stood outside the window and looked inside, and suddenly felt a burst of creepy, there were two big goblins lying inside, their faces were as old as Peak, full of dense wrinkles, the exposed sharp teeth were quite sharp, the black sharp nails were stained with something, and the skinny chest was slightly undulating, as if they were still sleeping.
They seem to have dreamed of something, and their sharp teeth occasionally make gnawing movements.
"Until the nightmare consumes everything, it's safe during the day."
Jack's figure faded into the fog, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Human." Let's get out of here tomorrow. ”
"We can't help you."
"Because we can't protect ourselves! ……”
