Chapter 404, Goblin Thief
I've always been very curious, or rather confused, about a creature in the West, and that's the so-called goblins. In Western mythology and legend, it is a very ugly and vicious creature.
They are from the same group as the goblins, it is said that they are distant relatives of the dwarves, adult goblins, and they are definitely not more than a meter tall, and they are very cunning, greedy by nature, in the Middle World, they live in abandoned castles, afraid to face humans, but once they meet a lone woman or child, they will not hesitate to rush up and do something that people and gods are angry about.
In modern society, the number of goblins is not as small as expected, and some goblins live in sewers like rats, occasionally entering the homes of residents to steal some food or gold. But they rarely show up, but they have always been the lowest existence in the dark world of the West, and now they dare to steal the fountain of wisdom of the world's supernatural master competition, which is not like the so-called goblins, so when I first heard the news, I was habitually stunned for a moment, thinking that I had heard it wrong.
However, since even Thor has confirmed the reliability of the news, I naturally won't question it, but now all the supernatural people in the whole of Helsinki are looking for this daring goblin thief, which invisibly makes it more difficult for me to obtain the Fountain of Wisdom.
"It happened about two days ago, because we arrived in Helsinki one step ahead of you, so just in time for the emergence of the Fountain of Wisdom, many powerful forces were snatching it for the first time, and everyone found out that there was a little red-skinned guy holding a large bottle of the Fountain of Wisdom and burrowing into the sewers of Helsinki. By the time people found it and pursued it, it was too late, it was very agile and fast, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. Only then did the people who caught up at the beginning realize that it was a goblin. ”
Sol explained in detail that Helsinki is a water-fringed city, so the underground sewer system is very complex and wet. For these Western supernatural creatures, they would rather wear armor and fight others until dawn than go down the sewers to track down a weak goblin.
Therefore, so far, all the dark forces and Western supernatural creatures have chosen to crouch on the ground in Helsinki to see who is lucky enough to catch this abominable goblin first.
However, this is a Western concept that doesn't suit me as an Oriental, so the next day, I let Yuhan release a few snakes into the underground world of Helsinki, in the dark underground waterways, and I don't want to risk a foul smell inside. It's always good to have a snake to find the way, and sure enough, soon a snake reported that a gap had been found in the bottom sewer of a residential building in the southeast of Helsinki, and although it was blocked, it should have been opened and then sealed.
When I set off immediately, I thought it was an empty house, but I didn't expect that there were a lot of residents inside, and they seemed a little curious about the arrival of us Orientals.
We were greeted by an elderly lady, and when we asked if we had ever seen a red-skinned, short child, she nodded and told me that in a small room on the far left of the third floor, there lived a child all year round, who lived singlely, did not communicate with others, and was always day and night, which was very uneasy.
I immediately realized that I had found the right place, and immediately rushed up to the third floor with someone, and when I stood at the door of the house on the far left, I heard a small sound from inside, as if I was still walking on the ground.
Yuhan released a poisonous snake, and the snake stuck out its tongue into the house, and after sensing it, it immediately reported back the news, saying that it had sensed a dwarf creature inside.
Without further ado, I could not let the fountain of wisdom fall into the hands of others, so I raised my foot and kicked hard at the door, which was not very strong, and I saw a small figure in the house pacing back and forth, and when I saw us rushing in, I was startled, and then immediately fell to my knees and begged for mercy.
I walked into the house, and it was a mess, and it smelled of disgusting corpses scattered on the ground, rats, insects, and even a few piles of excrement that had dried up, and I almost vomited the food I hadn't eaten.
It was indeed a goblin kneeling on the ground, but it was not the red-skinned goblin that Thor had blue skin, and it didn't look young, it was supposed to be an old goblin of some age, looking at us with horror on his face.
"Did you steal the Fountain of Wisdom?"
I asked, but the goblin across from me shook his head vigorously.
"It's not me, it's not me, I didn't steal the fountain of wisdom, it was my child who stole this sacred spring, praise Odin, I'm an honest goblin, I just want to live safely, oh my God, don't embarrass me, I didn't do it!"
It is said that the goblin is very timid, and now that it is so, I haven't dealt with it much, and it even said a lot of things with the bead cannon!
However, it is recorded in the ancient book that all the words of the goblins cannot be believed, because this is a race without any truth, goodness and beauty, and their appearance may be the evil that God wants to show to other races.
Therefore, I don't believe a word of this goblin's words, but I know that digging some clues from this cunning goblin will definitely not be done by beating him, I need to be skillful.
So, after a few harsh words, I let the black egg slap it in the face, and then led the people away in the form of tweezers. The slap of the black egg is very particular, because it has incense powder on its hands, just like the last tracking, it can use its sense of smell to track this old goblin who doesn't like to take a bath and doesn't like to be clean.
After leaving the house, we hid in the back of the building and secretly looked at the ground floor of the building. After a while, the goblin ran down the stairs in a puff of smoke, opening a dilapidated underground waterway.
Black egg and I looked at each other and smiled, began to track the past, this time it highlighted the strength of the black egg's sense of smell, last year, I did a test, let the black egg and a police dog compete with the sense of smell, as a result, the black egg exploded all the police dogs in the entire special police, I also specially ordered a golden sign to hang around its neck, which reads: The nose is really smart.
The angry black egg almost didn't explode my!
Today, relying on the black egg's sense of smell, we were able to track down the old goblin even when the smell was very complex and several meters away from the ground.
After wandering around half of Helsinki, at last in a remote corner of the park, I saw the old goblin emerge from the underground pipe and into a hut on the side of the road, which was supposed to be built to rest for the gardener.
The moment I opened the door, I vaguely saw a red-skinned figure, apparently the goblin thief who had stolen the fountain of wisdom!
While they were talking in the room, a group of us walked over in a surrounding fashion, and finally, after the black egg smashed the wooden door with one claw, we swarmed up and knocked the two goblins to the ground!
When the red-skinned goblin was knocked down, he shouted vigorously: "You stupid, old immortal, stalked, damn old fellow!" ”
Sure enough, the two goblins were in collusion, but I didn't find any trace of the Fountain of Wisdom around the red-skinned goblins.
I kicked the red-skinned goblin and yelled, "Tell me, little one, where did you hide the Fountain of Wisdom?" If you don't, I'll kill you. ”
As a result, the red-skinned goblin glanced at me and said, "I'm 65 years old, much older than you, and you dare to call me a little guy, shameless human!" The fountain of wisdom has been snatched away by someone else, and it is not with me, I want you to let me go immediately! ”
The Fountain of Wisdom has been snatched away again? This made my heart sink, and in just a few days, this thing has changed hands again, and even Thor doesn't know about it, apparently it just happened.
However, there is another possibility, this red-skinned goblin lied to me, after all, none of these evil little things are good in their bones, and most of their words cannot be trusted.
"Who snatched it?"
I asked, crouching down.
"A guy with horns on his head, very large, a bit like a Minotaur, but with flames coming out of his body. It snatched my treasure and almost killed me, if I hadn't escaped from the house, I would have been killed! ”
I wasn't familiar with Western ghosts, so I turned around and glanced at Saul, and after thinking about it, he shook his head to himself.
"What's wrong? Don't you even know? ”
I asked. Saul gave me the impression that he had always been an encyclopedia, but at this moment, he actually showed an embarrassed expression.
"No, I know what kind of monster it is, it should be a kind of bull demon from the Extreme Flame Hell, but they are generally very low in intelligence and are controlled by witches, so, if this little goblin is not lying. This time, it was the witches who actually grabbed the fountain of wisdom, but in Northern Europe, witches were more powerful, and if they joined forces with the Templars, it would be difficult for us to contend with two powerful forces. ”
Saul's analysis was not wrong, and things suddenly became complicated.
