Chapter 179: Vigilant Hound Dog
"Wow ~ I, I said, human ......"
"I'm called Yavatas......"
In a staccato lingua franca, in the midst of the cold torture of the half-elves, the one-eyed ogre told where he came from.
This ogre, called Yavatas, came from the Wasteland Ogre community at the other end of the forest barrier, further north.
One day, a part of the orc army appeared, brutally wiped out the ogre community, even the strongest two-headed ogre Saman, was captured by the heavily armed orcs, and the rest of the ogre tribe either died or fled, Yavatas fled into the dense forest, and later joined a group of gnolls in order to eat, and stayed in the jungle near the ruins.
There was another group of gnolloll bandits here, but due to the limited food, the ogre Yavatas took the initiative to drive them away.
Loki frowned, it seemed that the increase of the Gnoll bandits around Senjin Town was just a coincidence of being expelled, and as for the evil detected by the Silver Flame Church, it should have something to do with this ruin.
It's just that the shadow thief, whose identity is still a little strange, I don't know how much the jealous Silver Flame Church knows about it, after all, Malthus was also hired by them from the thieves' union.
When the sky fell, there was a tall one, and these incomprehensible things actually had nothing to do with the half-elves, and Loki was just to repay Penny's sacrifice.
However, getting some valuable coins and jewelry can be considered a bonus as part of the mission.
Looking at the white mask reflected in the light of the fire, the adventurer stood silent.
The ogre's one-eyed man, with a hint of ferocity and cunning, grabbed the corpse of a nearby gnoll and smashed it over.
The light of the torch was suddenly extinguished by the corpse of the gnoll.
The one-eyed ogre, who was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, forgot the pain before, and grabbed it with his big hand, intending to catch the adventurer who humiliated him and eat him alive in one bite.
Stunned Yavatas, who had a hole in his hand, suddenly felt a burst of lingua franca in his ears, followed by a pain in the back of his head, and he completely lost consciousness.
"Chaotic and stupid ogres, who happen to have no extra food to offer you captives with such a big appetite......"
An emotionless voice came from the darkness, and in the back of the one-eyed ogre's head, the half-elf drew its razor-sharp 'Frost Sorrow' two-handed broadsword.
A mixture of dark red blood and brain pulp, dripping little by little from the blade......
......
On the optic nerve imaging, the precise coordinates of the spatial map are marked at all times, and the return trip is relatively smooth.
The half-elf did not rush to the road, carrying a heavy package on his back, not only expanding the spatial map along the way, but also collecting some information about plants, animals, and even geology and soil.
It only took a day or so to pass through the burning wood forest and come to the territory of the twilight giant spider.
The death of the giant spider monster turned the surrounding area back into a goblin paradise, and a group of screaming goblins rushed out.
It was only after seeing the appearance and clothing of the half-elves that some goblins paused, as if remembering something terrible, and fled in a swarm.
Loki didn't care that much.
He couldn't look down on the task reward of the goblin scalp for a long time, and with the breeding ability of the goblin, it was really impossible to remove the little green skin in this dense forest.
A foul smell came from the backpack, and the one-eyed ogre's head, which was tightly wrapped in several layers, was still inevitably rotting, and the strong smell was even a little unbearable for him.
......
After walking through this burning wood forest for nearly a day, I didn't encounter any real danger.
The half-elf did not go directly back to Senkin, in the outer layer of the dense forest, he first went to the direction of the druid villa cabin, just in time to visit little Fatuna on the way.
"Hmm, roar~" A big black dog stood guard outside the courtyard, letting out a wild roar like thunder that was different from ordinary dogs.
This big black dog is really not small, almost the size of a calf. The black fur was shiny and shiny, and the muscles under the fur were bulging high and were clearly well cared for. Especially the pair of blue-black bright eyes, agile and energetic, like a fierce guard who sees danger.
"Monto, what are you calling, are you a stranger?"
In the wooden house of the Druid Villa, a young girl with blond hair and simple clothes ran out.
This figure was somewhat familiar, it was the druid apprentice with the status of a noble lady, Moira, who apparently recognized the half-elf as well.
"Loki, why did you come here to see your sister?"
Moira asked, soothing the black hound.
Loki nodded, "That's right, completing an adventure mission in the wilderness, just in time to check out little Fatuna." If there is anything to spend, I also brought some gold coins. ”
"Hmm~" The big black dog bared its fangs and stared at the half-elf tightly, and the druid apprentice couldn't be appeased with all his strength.
Moira said, "Monto must have found something, Loki, what does it smell like on you, it smells so bad......"
The half-elf said casually: "It's an ogre's head......"
"Ogre?" Moiratu was surprised.
"That's right. He untied the foul-smelling package and wandered it around the big black dog named 'Monto' for a moment, and realized that this was what made the big black dog vigilant.
Moira looked at the half-elf in amazement with a pair of lake-blue eyes, and said, "Ogre, it turns out that you have taken on such a dangerous mission. ”
She then invited, "Little Fatuna is not here now, and a few companions will follow the teacher and go to the statue of the goddess of the forest to realize the elements." Come in and rest while you wait. ”
Loki was not polite and followed behind the blonde girl.
Moira paused for a moment, covered her nose and said, "Loki, let's leave that package at the door, I'll talk to Monto, and it will help you look at it." ”
The half-elf didn't have anything to do, and threw the package containing the ogre's head at the door. The blonde girl stroked Monto's head and whispered for a while.
The big black dog, Monto, seemed to be able to understand the words of the druid apprentice, and as if he could understand the words of the druid apprentice, he really became much more docile, and he leaned down and looked at the package quietly, and did not move.
The druid cottage was built on a huge red banyan trunk, but I didn't expect that the space inside was also very open, and the thick trunk center was actually part of the villa wooden house.
It's like walking into a natural magic house, with bright wooden windows, stairs and walls that seem to have grown naturally, as if they have been cast by druid spells, and even some tables, chairs, and bookshelves, the wood grain on them seems to contain a natural vitality.
