Chapter 12: The Kobold Threat

The little girl had chestnut hair, large blue eyes, and freckles on her face. She was curiously tearing open the chocolate package, and from time to time she raised her head to look at Li Quan, who was much taller than her.

Li Quan suddenly realized.

Shining Gold Town? Kobolds? It turned out that the forest was the Elwyn Forest. It's great to be on Terran territory.

After the little girl tore open the package, she was attracted by the aroma of the brown chocolate inside, hesitated for a moment, tried to lick it, and her eyes immediately widened. She suddenly remembered what it was, chocolate! Her mother had told her that it was food for the big guys. looked at Li Quan's gaze, so he brought respect.

"Thank you, generous sir." The little girl bowed and saluted, just about to run away. Li Quan stopped her.

The little girl looked at him suspiciously, holding the chocolate behind her, as if she was afraid that Li Quan would regret it and take the chocolate away.

After thinking about it, Li Quan took out another whole and unopened chocolate from his travel bag, shook it and said with a smile, "There is a whole piece here." Take me around, it's yours. ”

The little girl nodded hurriedly.

……

"Sir, there's an inn ahead, and if you're looking for a place to rest, I recommend it."

The little girl is familiar with every plant and tree in the town. And it seems that he often gives directions to outsiders like Li Quan. skillfully took Li Quan into the town.

Li Quan was very curious about everything in front of him. This is the town of Shining Gold, the most important human settlement in the Elwyn Forest. Follow the road through the town and you'll find Stormwind, the political center of humanity.

It's just that the town is in a tense mood right now. The threat from the kobolds mobilized the entire town. Along the way, Li Quan saw more than one group of soldiers hurrying by. At the other end of town, a large group of people are building the fence in full swing. Sturdy farmers are constantly carrying wooden piles half a meter in diameter on the construction site. The carpenters pounded, and the sound of the soldiers' armor and shouts joined together.

"What does a kobold look like?" Li Quan asked the little girl.

"Sir, haven't you seen kobolds?" The little girl was a little strange, but only strange, and replied, "I've only seen it once." They're ugly, very ugly. And it stinks. ”

"Didn't the kobolds stay in the mines, how could they attack Shining Gold Town?" Li Quan asked again.

But it's clear that this kind of question is not something that a little girl can answer.

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they're hungry." ”

At this moment, a man's voice sounded behind the two, "Stop! ”

Li Quan turned his head and saw a soldier wearing armor and holding a spear, looking at him solemnly.

The soldier walked over and looked Li Quan up and down, "I haven't seen you." Li Quan was wearing a set of sweat-wicking sportswear and hiking shoes on his feet. As long as he is not blind, he can be found as an outsider at a glance.

"I just came to town." Li Quan smiled and said.

The soldier nodded, and said unquestioningly, "Follow me to Duhan." ”

Li Quan gave the little girl the chocolate he had promised. After thanking the little girl, she stood there and watched Li Quan leave with the soldiers.

……

In front of an inconspicuous house, Li Quan saw a stout middle-aged man.

Through the armor, the middle-aged man's eyes looked at Li Quan, and after getting the soldier's report, he asked, "From Beijun?" ”

"North County?" Li Quan was stunned.

"I'm Duhan, Sheriff here. Do you have a letter of introduction from Mark Bride? I'm more concerned about what good news that Mark Brad guy has for me now. The middle-aged man said again.

Li Quan knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he had to say, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about." I've just come from outside, so I don't know much about this place yet. ”

Of course, Li Quan knew what the place in North County was, but he didn't know who Mark Bled was.

"Oh? Outsiders? Du Han's voice was a little surprised, and he looked at Li Quan again, "Adventurer? ”

"Sort of."

"Excellent! Recently, the Fargordi mine has become a kobold's paradise, and residents have been reporting attacks by kobolds for several days in a row. The kobolds are behaving erratically, and we fear that they will attack the town of Flashgold. Now we need adventurers to solve this problem for us. You go there and see what these kobolds are up to, and then come back and tell me. Do you know where the Fargodi Mine Cave is? Just to the south, directly south of the town of Flashgold, between Stonefield Farm and Marcoran Farm. ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry. Li Quan was very helpless, obviously the other party misunderstood something, so he had to say, "I have no intention of accepting employment." I just ......"

"I'll pay you, adventurer." Du Han glared at Li Quan and said, "It's just a reconnaissance mission. When I'm done, I'll pay you two hundred coppers. ”

Li Quan sighed and said, "I think you misunderstood. I don't need your copper. "There's nowhere to spend that thing when you take it home.

"You're a mage?" Duhan asked. I have the impression that only those who study magic will wear strange costumes. But it's the first time he's seen someone as weird as Li Quan. And I heard that mages are not bad for money.

"It's not." Li Quan shook his head.

"Strange. So you're a warlock? Du Han asked in surprise.

Li Quan still shook his head.

"Is it a priest?"

Li Quan still shook his head.

"Strange." Duhan scratched his helmet and said, "Neither a mage, nor a warlock, nor a priest. ”

"Why do you have to be a mage, a warlock, and a priest?" Li Quan is even stranger. These professions are all cloth armor professions.

"IMHO, adventurer. Your stature means that you can't be a brave warrior or a paladin. I didn't see your animal, so you're not a hunter. One last possibility remains. If you dare to call you a thief, I'll let my men blast you out. ”

A few soldiers surrounded him.

Li Quan looked at his thin arms and legs speechlessly, and the strong men on the other side. With such a strong contrast, it is no wonder that the other party only thinks that he is cloth armor.

Waving his hand to let his men disperse, Du Han finally asked, "Could it be that you are from the circus?" I've heard that the town came to help the Darkmoon Circus a few days ago. ”

"Am I like a circus?" Li Quan looked down at the clothes on his body.

"Neither, so what are you doing here?" Du Han glared, "It's dangerous here. The kobold might be coming! ”

Not a mage, not a warlock, not a priest, not a warrior. That's the civilians. It's dangerous for civilians to stay here. As the sheriff of Shining Gold, Duhan felt that he had an obligation to teach this foreign creature well.

"I advise you to leave immediately. There's a Lion King's Pride inn in town, and you should go there. After Du Han finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to Li Quan, obviously losing interest in Li Quan, who was not an adventurer.
