Chapter 1: The Ghost Swordsman
In a dimly lit room, it was simple and tattered, but it was not dirty. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and a little boy cowered in a corner. The little boy had white hair and looked at the two goblins in front of him in horror.
"Boom...... Accompany your parents to death!"
"Ahh The boy felt his heart beat violently, his eyes opened terribly, and in that moment, his flaxen-colored pupils were full of blood-red. The bloodthirsty instinct completely erupts when the boy's ghost hand is stimulated......
"Damn, it's this dream again! I can't even take a good nap!" the white-haired young man Xia leaned against a tree. Xia stood up, but found a flock of birds not far away.
"It's these things again!" Natsu saw dozens of goblins surrounding him. Come on, fool!
With the greatsword behind him, Natsu left the clearing, followed by dozens of goblins lying in a pool of blood.
"Hmph......" Xia took a step, one step, two steps, three steps.
"Haven't you come out yet?, or do you want me to do it another way?" Xia pulled out the greatsword behind him and pointed to a bush behind him.
"Hehe, this big brother is very skilled, and his perception is so keen. A man wearing a yellow jar walked out.
"Sneaky!" Natsu's sword tip rested against the jar man's jar head.
"Don't, don't, my name is Clay Pot, and I'm a merchant. Came out to collect tequila and was discovered by the goblins...... "The earthen pot smiled and pushed away Xia's greatsword, and also tested the sharpness of the blade with his fingers.
"It's clear that you were discovered, deliberately hiding in the bushes near me, trying to use me as a substitute for the dead ghost! Goblins' habits, I know very well!" Xia pointed the tip of his sword at the earthen pot again.
"Hero! I am old and young, please let me go, in fact, I have long seen that you are extraordinary, and you will definitely be able to solve this little trouble, otherwise where would I dare to cause trouble! Woo woo...... the earthen pot howled.
"Okay, do you know where there is a village nearby? After eating wild fruits for a few months, I'm about to go crazy!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the village I'm staying in is close to here, I'll take you there!" the earthen pot suddenly became a little excited.
Not long after, Xia saw a city.
"Look, my lord, this is the city-state I told you, the city of Affary. I'll take you to the best tavern for a bite to eat in a moment. "The earthen pot is very attentive to lead the way.
In the tavern, everyone looked at the earthen jar with a little disdain.
"Yo, earthen pot profiteer, deceitful again?" quipped a simple-looking man.
"!" the earthen pot impatiently dispersed and counted his own people. "Hehe, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you! Boss! The earthen pot politely invited Xia to a table, but he ran out, crossed a few streets, and slipped into a luxurious building.
A noble man in the hall was anxiously explaining something to some strong men with weapons.
"Castle Lord, it's a good thing! I've found a ghost swordsman who can destroy Skoda!" the earthen pot ran into the hall excitedly.
"What, where? Ghost Swordsman!" the lord grabbed the earthen pot with delight.
"City Lord, the person I invited you, the bounty ......" The earthen pot snorted.
"Yours is the bounty, take me to see that ghost swordsman first!" the city lord laughed. Thankfully, no more goblin idiots!
In the tavern, Xia was full of food and drink, and was about to leave, but was stopped.
"Your Excellency hasn't paid yet. This ......" ran the hall with a sad face.
"Didn't that guy called the earthen pot pay?" Xia was a little angry, this bastard!
"How can the earthen pot pay, I'm afraid this young man will be pitted!" the people around him began to discuss.
"That's it, the earthen pot is ......"
Xia broke free from the running hall that was pulling him, and he didn't pay attention.
"Okay, don't pay for dinner, guys, he's here to find fault, call me!" ran Tang was furious.
A few big men came out with boning knives and wanted to cut Xia.
"Stop! this is my guest who has come to defend Afary!" the lord's carriage arrived, stopping the men who were about to pounce. The lord of the city got out of the carriage, settled the food money, and drank the retreat and the men. Kindly looked at Natsu.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost swordsman, I'm the lord of this city-state, and my name is Leon. Leon looked at Xia in a friendly manner, "Please come to the City Lord's Mansion, I have prepared a banquet." ”
"Okay, for your sake of paying the bill for me!" Xia responded indifferently, his eyes glanced around, but he didn't see the earthen pot, and he had already scolded the whole earthen pot family in his heart. I didn't even want to pay for a meal, but I don't know what Xia Ruo would think if he found out that the earthen pot had also fraudulently received the city lord's bounty for him.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the wrinkles on the face of the City Lord of Leon seemed to be twisted into flowers, and he praised Xia vigorously, but Xia was completely confused. When did you promise to help solve the threat of the city-state? It's just that you don't want to refute the city lord who has just relieved the siege for you, so you have to practice and agree.
"I don't know, when will the adventurer go to deal with Skoda?" asked the city lord Leon tentatively.
"It's just a goblin that knows a little bit about magic, wait until I sleep well, and I'll deal with it early tomorrow morning!" Xia said disapprovingly.
"Okay, I believe in the adventurer, but I don't know how many people the adult wants?" Leon slapped the table excitedly.
"One of me is enough, I have to take care of them if there are many people, trouble!" Xia waved his hand.
The next morning, deep in the Lorain forest outside the city.
Probably around here, a goblin can become the lord of such a large forest, either it is just a minion, or it is extremely powerful!" Xia thought to himself.

Natsu stepped on a broken branch and suddenly felt danger. Jumping to the left, a pit has already appeared under his feet, and there are many bloody corpses on the iron thorns in the pit, and there are people and animals.
It seems to have stepped into their territory. No, I seem to be surrounded. Natsu's ears moved, and he heard the voices of no less than 30 goblins!
There is a hunting game of swarms, so let's see who is the prey!Xia licked the corners of his mouth. Jump on a tree.
A group of goblins arrive at the trap and chatter about what will be in the pit, but there is no new prey in the pit.
"Bang"
Xia jumped down, and with a wave of his giant sword, he slashed the leading goblin head on the spot, and Xia was extremely resentful of these creatures!
"Ahh
"Arrows!" a goblin shouted, and the retreating goblin took off the crossbow on his back and began to attack Xia, with more than 20 arrows in a row, and Xia dodged without much effort. At the same time, in the process of dodging, jump and kill 3 goblins. The remaining goblins abandoned their crossbows and rushed forward with their daggers.
"Ghost Slash!" Xia swung his giant sword, and in an instant, the purple sword qi slashed the 5 goblins in half!
"Run, go to Lord Skoda!" the rest of the goblins fled. Xia sneered, dragged the giant sword, and calmly followed these goblins, what I want is for you idiots to take me to find it!
