Chapter 180: Trouble

Lily followed her memories of the day to find the hotel where the group of human adventurers was staying. For Andrarui, the floating population is mainly merchants from inside and outside the forest, so there are only two or three hotels with different styles in the entire Emerald River Valley, and the most affordable of them is the "stone house" in front of the leprechaun.

Although it was already past dinner time, there were still a few tables of "locals" in the restaurant on the first floor who were drinking with snacks. It is undoubtedly difficult for Andrari, which is currently limited to large transactions and has few outsiders, to stay in business, so these few hotels have their own specialties to attract local diners. The owner of the Stone House, an old dwarf who is a heavy drinker, is drinking with his regular customers while eagerly discussing tomorrow's heavyweight championship matchup.

"Lily, why are you here at this time?" asked the goblin, who was working part-time at the hotel on a vacation in Valhalla, strangely recognizable by the long blue hair of the water fairy.

"Ah, Kinnos, congratulations on winning the featherweight championship. The goblin greeted the goblin waiter politely.

"Thank you, but there's nothing to be happy about. 'Short man chooses general,' isn't it?'" Kinnos laughed at himself with a slight disappointment.

While his tendons and flesh look like he's shrewd and tough, our featherweight champion still feels thin compared to the dwarves who spend their days doing nothing but work and getting sleepy at the wine table.

There are some things in this world that seem to be destined to be impossible to change by mere effort.

"Where!Kinnos, you're super powerful!It's all about winning with a sexual advantage, isn't it!?"

Faced with an overwhelming advantage in the amateur class, and even the rules and scoring criteria of the ring, Kinnos felt that there was really nothing to brag about.

"Thank you for comforting Lily, but aren't you asleep at this time?

"I'd like to ask the human adventurers who live here, do you know which room the tallest of them lives in?"

"Let me think about it......" Goblin walked over to the counter and flipped through the records, "It's the deputy leader named Ben, right? In room 205, do you need me to come with you?"

"Kinnos, two more bottles of white amber, a plate of peanuts, a plate of dried tofu......"

"Thank you, Mr. Champion, I'm just going to ask something. Go about your own work!" Lily thought of the tall human's kind smile, and instinctively felt that he would not be the kind of villain who would dare to commit evil deeds under the gaze of the goddess.

"Then I'll be out of company first. ”

"Another sausage,......" the dwarf shouted again.

"Okay boss! right away!" said Kinnos, turning and burrowing into the kitchen.

Lily flew up the stone staircase to the second floor with trepidation, not because the man named Ben might have taken the eggs from the temple waiting to hatch, but because she was suspicious of them on the basis of the fact that the other party was sitting alone in the hallβ€”it was only after dark that Arrett realized that one egg was missing, after all this time, no one was sure what had happened.

I'm just here to ask about the situation, and I don't really suspect him!!

"Is there anyone in the room, please?" called the elf hovering timidly at the door of 205.

Footsteps came from far and near behind the door, and then the tall, thin man named Ben opened the wooden door and appeared in front of the water fairy.

"Oh, it's a warm little girl during the day, is there anything important to visit you at this time?" said a friendly smile on the man's face.

"Hello, Mr. Ben. I'm Lily, it's like this, there is one less owl egg placed in front of the goddess idol during the day, I would like to ask sir if you have any impressions. ”

"One less!?Isn't that the egg of the Hippogriff?well, no one has been here until you come down...... Could it be that it was lost during the time of dinner?" the tall and thin man frowned and thought, "Lily, would you like to come in and sit down?"

The little goblin thought for a moment, and then flew into the house with his masterβ€”if he really stole the egg, then it would be difficult for him to make any progress just by standing at the door and asking. If he hadn't stolen it, it wouldn't have been a big deal to follow him in.

"Would you like to try this? These are meatballs made from wild vegetables in the wilderness, and of course they are not as delicious as Andrari's food. The tall and thin human smiled and picked up an old wooden box from the table in the room, and when he opened the lid, he could see that eight dark green balls that seemed to be kneaded from the stems and leaves of plants were neatly placed in the small compartment inside, and he could smell the fragrance of herbs from a distance.

"Thank you, sir, but Your Highness said that eating before going to bed is not good for your health. As soon as Lily entered, she noticed an old cloth bag that had been propped up and bulging, and which seemed to contain some kind of large oval thing. Aside from that cloth bag, there was no place in the room to hide anything at all. The dwarven-style bed was a large square boulder with gaps under the bed that not even human fingers could fit into, the stone table had no drawers or doors, and the wooden shelves for hanging clothes were prominently displayed, revealing everything in the room.

"Can I see what's in here?" The goblin only thought that the contents of the bag seemed to resemble the beast eggs in the temple in terms of shape.

"Of course, curious kids. The kind man didn't seem to be aware of the suspicion in the visitor's heart, and generously untied the rope that tightened the cloth bag, "This is Andrari's specialty, isn't it?

Lily was quietly relieved to see the aged white amber porcelain bottle holding up the cloth bag, she didn't even realize how unnatural her expression was.

"The white amber set by His Highness is indeed a rare good wine, but the Hundred Flowers Aged Brewed by the elves after more than ten years is the best wine we have here!" As soon as her mood relaxed, Lily immediately became cheerful again.

"I've heard rumors about elven wine in my hometown, but it's unacceptably expensive. Ben smirked and scratched the back of his head, explaining awkwardly.

"It's just one or two gold leaves, and if you want to get a job here, you can save a month's salary and buy a bottle or two. The goblin suggested very seriously.

"That's not a coincidence, we've sold all the harvest this morning. As much as we all love this amazing city, we still have to get back to our hometown before winter begins! There was an inexplicable loneliness in the tall and thin man's words.

"That's a pity, aren't you going to stay in Andrarui for a month or two in the afternoon?"

"Recently, the wasteland has not been very peaceful, and there is a lot of turmoil between the major orc tribes, and I just discussed it with the leader, and I think it is safer to take advantage of the abundance of food reserves for the orcs before winter to cross the wasteland. ”

"In that case, there is no way, if you think of anything, Mr. Ben, please inform the temple guard directly, Mr. Arret?"

"Of course. ”

"Since you are going to leave tomorrow, sir, then Lily will not disturb Mr. to rest, and will take her leave first!" the little goblin bowed politely in mid-air.

Lily realized that she had unwarranted suspicion that the human guests were indeed a little too sensitive, and she smirked and prepared to leave Mr. Ben's room. However, the two Ben's companions suddenly opened the wooden door of the room and appeared outside the hallway of the hotel.

"Chief, what do you think we did by hiding this rare thing in a half-drunk jar?" the two adventurers were stunned at the sight of the goblin with long blue hair in the room. One of them carried a green amber jar with the smell of wine, and the other held an egg covered in brown patterns. The egg was about the size of a human head, with a milky white background reflecting a warm sheen.

At this moment, the little goblin suddenly remembered what His Highness had said - it is possible to make a rough inference about the person they meet for the first time based on their appearance alone, but it takes long enough to really understand a person deeply. The human heart is only a face for others, and those who are accustomed to disguise hide their hearts deep behind this face.

--Seeing the loot in the hands of the humans, Lily's first instinct was to flee from here immediately! As she passed over the two humans who were holding heavy objects in their hands and had difficulty moving, the sound of her anger came from behind her.

"Grab her! Grab that little thing. ”

However, Lily, who was as nimble as a hummingbird, had fled into the hallway, and behind her there was a cacophony of cursing and broken artifacts - and the two unresponsive guys at the door had become an obstacle to the pursuit.

These damn bad guys almost fooled everybody!

Lily thought to herself that everyone had invited them to taste the novelty of the ice shop at dinner!

How does Your Highness describe this kind of thing?...... But after feeding the dogs, they will become very easy to get close to!

The goblin, who was not angry and cranky, flew around a corner, and not far in front of him was a staircase leading to the first floor. Just as Lily was imagining how the sturdy dwarf uncles and the powerful featherweight champions downstairs would teach the bad guys a good lesson, the wooden door to room 201 next to the stairs suddenly opened. Caught off guard, Lily slammed her head into the heavy wooden plank, letting out a painful whimper, and even the humans behind the door almost didn't stand firm, and Lily fell directly to the stone floor through the door.

"Head!?what's going on?" asked the adventurer, who hadn't realized what was going on.

"Wrap the cunning little one in her clothes, she'll find out we've taken the eggs!" the tall, thin deputy leader beckoned to his companion in a gloomy voice.

In a daze, Lily only felt that the hazy light in front of her eyes was blocked by a black curtain...... And with a suffocating smell.

"You unsuccessful fellows!How many times have I told you to knock on the door when you come in!?" Ben angrily lectured his men.

"Guests upstairs, what's going on?" Kinnos had just finished his business when he came up from the first floor.

"It's no big deal, these two idiots got drunk and smashed the jar. ”

"Please put it aside and let me clean it up. ”

At the signal of the tall and thin deputy leader's eyes, the human holding the owl eggs and the goblins took advantage of the goblins to go upstairs and quickly retreated into the room at the corner of the corridor.

"Thank you so much, can you please bring another jar of green amber later?"

"Okay, no problem, Mr. Ben. ”

"Andrari's wine is so cheap that it's hard to extricate yourself!" the human adventurer, who seemed to have shattered the wine jar, echoed Ben with a laugh.

"Please, wait a minute, I'll go and bring a new jar of green amber. ”

"Excuse me, zealous Mr. Goblin. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, ladies and gentlemen. ”

It wasn't until Kinnos descended to the first floor that the door to 202's room slowly opened, revealing a sleepy-eyed face of Hiro, who had drunk the most and had the most fun at today's dinner.

"What's going on?

"It's nothing, you go to sleep. Ben looked impatient.

"That egg won't cause you any trouble, will it?" said the young adventurer, who had just been woken up, looked a little worried.

"I've already taken it, do you think that those long-eared and demons will easily let us go if we go back now!?"

The deputy leader's words made Hiro's mood very low...... He knew that he and these so-called "companions" were not at all the same way, but in the eyes of others, he had already been marked as a raccoon dog.

It's just a bird's egg...... After going back, I should never have anything to do with these so-called adventurers, young Clemson secretly made a decision in his heart.
