"If I'm not mistaken, you mean 'deal'? What deal?" Barritt like, like Ricky and Lulu, didn't quite understand, "Who's the deal with whom?"

"Of course it's us elves and the humans on this farm!" said Pell as a matter of course, "because this is a deal, so we can take the things from the farm openly, and this is not stealing." ”

"Not stealing!", "Uh-huh, no!" Ricky and Lulu nodded incessantly.

In the dead of night, after everyone had fallen asleep, he sneaked over a few rabbits and put the vigilant dogs to sleep.

If there was such a deal, who had made the goblins?, he wondered. The most likely is one of old Samir's daughters with red, yellow, and blue headscarves, but which one is the barbarian, the barbarian really has no idea. However, he just needs to ask directly.

"You say it's a deal, but who made it with you?" the brute looked at Pe'er.

"You humans. The leprechaun flapped its wings softly.

"Which human—male or female?" Barrett asked again.

"No, that's what I thought in my heart. Pell said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" the brute was a little confused, "you mean, there is no one who has made a deal with you, everything is just something you came up with." ”

"What's the matter? isn't it a deal?" said Pell again, and said in a righteous voice, "You humans come to our house every now and then, and dig holes in the trunks of those maple trees, and put pipes in them, and hang wooden barrels to collect the sap of the maple trees. Not only that, but you also pick all kinds of mushrooms, berries, and other plants from our homes, don't you?" she asked her friends.

"Yes, Lulu likes to eat blueberries, but every year when the blueberries are ripe, you will be able to light them. Ricky plucked up the courage to say.

"Blueberries are delicious!" Lulu nodded vigorously, "and gooseberries too." If not, beets and pumpkins are fine, and Lulu is not a picky eater. ”

"Hmph, look. "They took so many things from our house, and I didn't say anything, and I didn't shoot them with a bow and arrow......

It looks like I've cummed anyway, Barrett sighed inwardly. The elf's bow and arrow not only make the victim sleep, but also cause people to suffer from temporary amnesia. If the victim is not exempt from these two effects, they will wake up in a coma and forget what happened for a short period of time. Leprechauns sometimes use this ability to play pranks, causing travelers to get lost or lose certain items on their bodies.

Of course, if the traveler is more responsive or has a good sense of humor, the leprechauns will sometimes allow the traveler to pick something from their collection to compensate.

"We're all so generous, and of course they should be generous. "You humans have taken a lot of things from our elven home, so we have taken some things from your human home, and we have exchanged them for 'trade', I'm right. ”

Well...... Barrett touched the stubble on his chin and nodded subconsciously, "But don't you need to agree with each other?"

"They did it without our consent, so I don't think we need to. "I've heard you humans say that the key to a 'deal' is to be fair, isn't it, and I think that's fair." ”

Well, Barrett was somewhat silent. This little guy's crooked reasoning is really not so easy to refute, and he has never been good at talking.

"But it's not a way to keep going like this, is it? Barrett looked at the swaggering Pelle, "The problem is actually easy to solve, you follow me to find the owner of this farm, and you can communicate with each other well." ”

"I don't!" Pell bit her lip as her friends shrank behind her again, "they're going to grab us, put us in a cage, or sell us!"

"Why do you say that?" Barrett frowned, "Have you ever been caught before?"

"Mmmm, I was caught a long, long time ago. Lulu said timidly.

"In your human time, it was about 400 years ago. Ricky explained to Barrett.

It's been a long time! Barrett heard that the goblin is a kind of spirit, as the darling of nature, and it is also an immortal species. They never grow old and only die from accidental injuries or serious illnesses.

"Well, that's a very bad old human man, who bought a lot of our people and kept us in cages, and pricked us with needles from time to time!"

"It hurts, and there's a lot of blood. Lulu's expression was a little scared.

"He collected all our blood and wanted to do something. Ricky added.

"She tried to use our blood to make an elixir that could give her eternal life, but he failed and turned into a puddle of mud!" Pei Le was happy, "It's a stinking sludge, more stinky than you." She said to Barrett.

“......”

The goblins are kind-natured and cute in appearance, but some of them like to play pranks, and ordinary humans are not very likely to do anything to harm them. Moreover, their 'natural stealth', 'special bow and arrow' and other spell abilities are also quite outstanding, and their self-protection ability is very strong, and they will not be harmed under normal circumstances.

But there are some psychopaths, or people with other agendas, who use elite adventurers like Barrett to collect them. This world is like this, Barrett doesn't want to feel anything, and the bad things he has done are actually not small.

"Ahem, in this case, you follow me to communicate with the owner of the farm here, and I will protect you during this time. The brute said to the goblins, "If anyone tries to capture you, I will take him down." Trust me, I'm amazing!"

"But, you just arrested us. Pell said distrustfully, "And scare us with that bad bird! I don't believe it can eat us." ”

"Hey, look, didn't I let you go again?" Besides, I arrested you because, I thought you were all thieves, and I came to catch thieves. Barrett said.

"We're not thieves!" retorted the goblins.

"Yes, yes, don't make a noise, I know!" the brute waved his hand and patiently explained, "I thought you were thieves, so I arrested you." But you weren't, so I let you go, and I intended to protect you. Look, isn't that a normal thing?" he sighed inwardly again, feeling like he was coaxing a child.

"Are you really going to protect us?" said Perle, who softened her face after hearing Barrett's crooked reasoning.

"Of course!" said Barrett sincerely, "this matter must be solved after all, otherwise the next time the farmer has hired someone else to catch the thief, hey, listen to me, I know you are not a thief." He reached out to stop the goblins' retort, "If someone else comes to arrest you next time, that person may not be as good a person as I am." ”

The goblins looked at each other, and their attitudes seemed to loosen a little.

"Let's turn this into a real 'deal', a fair deal that is good for you and for them. Barrett continued to persuade.

Alas, this kind of thing is really not for me, he said to himself, it's not all for soul energy.
