There was no suspense in the battle, Griffith used a sleep technique to bring down most of the kobolds, and the rest of the kobolds were knocked to the ground with bows and arrows by Hansen before they could rush in front of them.

The only threat was the kobolds' crossbow arrows, but unfortunately the quality of their bows and crossbows was not good, and when the arrows flew in front of them, they had become very slow, and they were easily caught by the shadow puppets hidden in Griffith's shadows with black tentacles.

Lily looked at the elusive shadow puppet, her eyes shining with a burst of color, and she seemed to be quite interested.

"Don't kill them yet. Seeing Hansen pull out the short sword at his waist and prepare to step forward to mend the sword, Griffith immediately stopped him, "Tie it up, I'll see if I can ask for some information." ”

Kobolds are a natural hazard on the Titanian continent that can be compared to goblins.

This small oviparous creature is about seventy or eighty centimeters tall, covered with tiny scales, and its biggest feature is that it has a head that resembles that of a dog, and its barking voice is similar to that of a dog. Strictly speaking, kobolds are also dragonborn, and although their bloodline is extremely thin, it doesn't prevent these little things from being keen to dig the ground and like shiny things.

If you find a roaming kobold on the surface, it usually means that there is already a large nest of kobolds in a cave somewhere.

Kobolds are intellectually retarded, but still sapient creatures that can communicate, and most of them speak a little dragon language - albeit with poor vocabulary and often incomprehensible words.

Because the kobold had not been plagued for a long time, and the lumberyard facilities were still intact, Hansen found a long rope to tie up the kobold who had passed out from sleep, and then carried the barrel to the river to fetch water and splash the captives awake.

"Silver Frost, it's up to you. Griffith crouched down and patted the young dragon that was constantly teasing the kobolds with his paws.

A faint coercion emanated from Silver Frost's body.

Only a few months after birth, the dragon power on the young white dragon seems to be absent, and it has basically no effect on humans, but kobolds are different. As a dragonborn, these little things that have just woken up are particularly sensitive to Long Wei, and as soon as they feel the breath of silver frost, they can't help but tremble.

As a qualified magician, Griffith learned the dragon language well and could barely communicate with kobolds. Although the captives were confused and illogical, Griffith patiently asked for a lot of useful information.

"Their nest is quite far from here, and these kobolds walked for two or three days to reach the Chishui River, and even considering the kobolds' short legs, at least a day's journey. ”

"How many kobolds are there in that lair?" asked Hansen.

"It's hard to say. Griffith smiled wryly, "These kobolds don't know how to count, and no matter how much I ask, the answer is either 'many, much' or 'more than the fingers and toes combined'." ”

"Why did they set fire?" asked Lily, curious. Although kobolds are stupid, they also do not have the habit of setting fires indiscriminately.

"Because one of their people has a kobold warlock who knows how to fireball, and these fools think that playing with fire will make them stronger. "It's so terrible to be uneducated," Griffith's face turned grim: "But that's not the point. According to these kobolds, a 'big guy' came to their lair, and it is now being worshipped by the entire tribe. ”

Big guy, this title sounds a bit confusing, but according to the kobold's description, it should be a creature about three meters long and more than a meter tall at the shoulder.

What Griffith cares about the most is that the big guy has an aura similar to that of Silver Frost, although it is certainly not a real dragon without wings, but the dragon power is much stronger than Silver Frost, it is said that most kobolds can't even walk in front of him, only the patriarch - that is, the kobold warlock who can use fireball magic can not be shocked in front of him.

"Is it a dragon?" asked Lily excitedly, she had long been jealous that Griffith had a white dragon pet. Ever since she came to Hydra, she'd been taking care of Silverfrost for most of the time.

"It's supposed to be wurm. Griffith shook his head, a true dragon that can grow up to three meters is no worse than a human in intelligence, and it is impossible for him to live so close to Hydra Village silently. In fact, wurms are much more common than real dragons - many dragons are hardcore lovers, and the result is a myriad of dragon subspecies.

"Lord Griffith, why don't we go back and think about it for the long haul?" suggested Hansen. There were only three people on the team, two of whom were mages, and as the only war-type class, this level 2 ranger naturally felt a lot of pressure.

In skirmishes, it is dangerous to do without a meat shield. Although Thorn's animal companion was a brown bear, it was not yet an adult, and it was not a big problem to deal with small and medium-sized monsters, but changing to a wurm with a body length of more than 3 meters made Hansen want to retreat.

In addition to the wurm, the kobold of an entire tribe of kobolds cannot be ignored.

Because of the blood of dragons, the proportion of warlocks in the kobold group has never been low, even higher than that of humans. If the number of kobolds exceeds a hundred, then there will be at least 2 kobold warlocks, and one of them will be able to fireball.

"Don't worry, Hansen. Griffith didn't look down on Hansen's words, but he didn't agree with Hansen's suggestion, "You and Lily just go with me to the kobolds' lair, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

A wurm with a body length of three meters, replaced by a real dragon, can only be regarded as a young dragon at most. If Griffith was just a normal third-level mage, he would have to look ahead and look backwards, but now he is the elect of the dark day! Not to mention the other wonderful uses of purple fire, the shadow puppet alone is enough to stop an ordinary young dragon.

The real hole cards are hard to reveal, and Griffith trickily pulls out a scroll from the inner pocket of his robe and shakes it in front of Hansen and Lily.

"Is that the Death Cloud Scroll?" Lily covered her mouth with her hand in shock, "Brother Griffith, you brought this with you?"

If the Fireball Technique is the most practical level 3 magic, then the Dead Cloud Technique is undoubtedly the most cost-effective level 5 magic. The poisonous cloud created by this magic can directly kill those who are physically deficient, even if they are strong enough to survive it, as long as they remain within the range of the cloud, they will continue to be poisoned.

If you throw a Dead Cloud Spell into the Wurm's cave, and then combine it with the Level 2 Magic Wind Creation Technique, the effect will definitely be a nest.

Lily, a quick level 1 mage, naturally couldn't recognize the Death Cloud Scroll at a glance, and she was able to react right away because she had seen this scroll before.

This scroll was bought by Griffith from the shadow mage Sario through Sir Philip after receiving the ransom from Kyle Osborne, and it cost 2,000 gold dragons, so he still owes Philip a great favor. Since Lily was barely able to use the scroll, Griffith gave her a while to play with it.

"Since you have prepared for this, my lord, I can only obey the order. Hansen still has some reservations about Griffith's insistence, but he is not a stubborn man.

For the sake of a litter of kobolds who are not too close, and a wurm, wasting a precious Death Cloud Scroll is always too wasteful in Hansen's eyes.

I won't tell you that there's a gem mine under the kobold's lair. Griffith thought with joy and sorrow.
