Carefully bypassing, to Shirley's annoyance and amusement, there was no terrible existence behind the wooden platform at all, just a weak kobold, he was lying on a bunk roll and sobbing, and the kobold in grief did not notice the approach of Shirley and Kirito. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Didn't you say that it was the goblins who occupied the ruins?" Kirito said in confusion.

"I don't know, and it looks like this kobold isn't alone. Shirley also deliberately lowered her voice and said.

Kobolds are social creatures like goblins, with a look like dwarf lizardmen, dark brown or black skin, lighter horns on their heads, and red eyes that sparkle in the dark.

Look at the kobolds, they've called this place their home for a while.

"It is said that kobolds are not very good personalities. Shirley said to Kirito.

"Maybe we can talk to it, I'll try. Kirito gestured to Shirley with a 'hidden' gesture as he walked over to the kobold by himself.

It's close enough that even the kobold can see it, no matter how sluggish he is.

Kirito's shadow covered the kobold's face, who first looked up at Kirito blankly, then shrunk into a ball in a trembling state.

"Whew, whew, whew......" came out like a dog barking.

Kirito took a deep breath and did not make movements that would stimulate the other party, but said in the lingua franca, "I have no ill intentions, if you can understand what I say, answer me in the same language as me." ”

The lingua franca is highly popular, and the other party may be able to understand it.

"Wang ......, who are you, Mibo doesn't know anything, Wang ...... The Holy Dragon has been snatched away. The kobold sobbed as he spoke. After saying a word, he curled up in a ball.

The appearance of the word dragon made Kirito instantly lift his spirit, this was once the territory of the dragon, is there still a dragon?

"Don't be nervous, I'm just an adventurer, can you tell me what's going on here?" Kirito said, looking around and finding some traces of the anomaly. "It looks like there's a ...... here. War?"

Kirito didn't know how to describe it, but there were many potholes and scratches on the ground and walls, as well as some blood, as if they had been cleaned but not cleaned, and it looked like the scene of a fight.

"Mibo raised the Holy Dragon here, and the evil goblin stole the Holy Dragon, Kachix. Mibo, the kobold, whispered.

"As far as I know, this ruin should be occupied by goblins. Kirito asked curiously.

"Great Chief, lead us to defeat the goblins. Recent. ”

"A month ago?" Kirito said, remembering the four adventurers Besco they had mission to rescue, resting his right hand on his left shoulder.

This distance can be pulled out at any time by the interpreter.

"Twenty days ago, robbed here, we. Mibo, whose lingua franca was a little less fluent, said in a staccato manner, "The goblins retreated deeper. Some monsters we encountered. ”

"What a monster. Kirito asked casually.

It's normal to have monsters. Because Kirito's target is tracking, Belik is also in this ruin.

"Mibo doesn't know. Mibo raises the Holy Dragon here. Mibo, the kobold, remembered the dragon that had been snatched away, and began to cry again.

Kirito soothed him, then asked, "Why do you want to raise dragons?"

"Mibo doesn't know, the great chief knows, and Mibo will take you to the great chief, Yusdayel. That's just what Mibo said.

Kirito asked some other questions. That's how Mibo replied.

Kirito slowly retreated, and Yabo lay on the cover roll and sobbed again.

After meeting up with Shirley, Kirito observes Yabo carefully for a while and realizes that he didn't inform the other kobolds.

"What did the kobold say?" asked Shirley, a little far away from her to make out her ears.

"Let's go back and talk to Besco and them. Kirito rubbed his eyebrows. "It's getting interesting. ”

When he returned to the empty room, Besco was checking his weapons, and when he saw them return, he casually inserted the short sword in his hand into the scabbard on the side of his calf, and Todak's horned helmet was on the ground, holding the water bag in both hands, and taking a sip of gas.

"How's the rest?" Kirito greeted.

"Alright. Todak put the water bag back in and patted the heavy wooden shield.

"It's only been half an hour since I came back. The wanderer said after estimating the time.

"Well, something. Kirito sat across from Besco.

（15:45→16:00）

And so and so ......and so

"You mean, the kobolds have taken over the ruins?" Besco surprised.

"Not exactly, it should have occupied the exit of this ruin. Kirito said.

"Hey, doesn't that mean Besco won't be able to wait for the goblins in Oak Town to deliver apples to their door?" Shirley patted the wanderer on the head as she stood behind him.

"Hmm...... It's possible. Kirito said uncertainly.

"Lady luck bless. Besco shrugged.

There was no need to keep Besco's Red Apple mission secret, so he told them directly, Besco's plan was to get the Red Apple in this adventure.

"What to do. Todak touched the broken horn on his helmet and said angrily, "Cooperate with the kobold or kill them directly?"

There was silence for a while.

Besco took out his lucky silver coin: "Then ......"

"Forget it, you don't need to throw silver coins at this. Shirley tapped Besco's head.

"Align with each other. Kirito looked up and said.

"Align with each other. Besco put the lucky silver coin away.

"I agree. "Shirley had seen Mibo, at least the kobold was harmless.

"It doesn't matter, fighting one race is fighting, and fighting two is also fighting. Todak abstained from voting.

The team of adventurers who had decided on their course of action soon returned to the room with a large empty cage.

Mibo didn't notice the arrival of the adventurers, still sobbing there.

Because in the previous conversation, Mibo mentioned the "dragon", and it seemed that it should have been kept in a cage before the goblins snatched it away, Besco slowed down and silently moved to the side of the large cage to examine it carefully.

The metal cage has been twisted to the point where it is impossible to imprison any living creature without repair. There was some feces in the cage, perhaps left by the "dragon".

Mibo finally noticed that someone was coming, and he didn't have a surprised expression when he saw Kirito, but he was startled by Besco, who was close at hand, and shrank in the corner and shivered.

"These are my companions, adventurers passing through. Kirito quickly explained the origin and purpose of himself and the others, "We may be able to help you reclaim your holy dragon." ”

"Really?!" asked Mibo.

"I'm not sure alone, so I called my companion. Kirito said with an unchanged face, and then added, "Have you ever seen a human pass by?"

Mi Bo shook the dog-like head on his neck again and again: "Mi Bo only raised the Holy Dragon, and he didn't know it. Mibo doesn't know, the great chief knows, Mibo will take you to the great chief, Yusdayel. You are good to Mibo, help the kobold find the holy dragon, great leader, and good to you. ”

Kirito nodded and said, "Okay, please take us to meet your big leader." ”

While Kirito was talking, Shirley searched carefully in the fire pit that had been extinguished in the center of the house, and found only some charred kobold bones and fragments of armor, which the kobold had cremated his own warriors after the battle. Shirley rummaged for a while, and found a jade dragon-shaped amulet, which looked like it should be worth a lot of money, and Besco gently pulled the little money-hungry winged girl and signaled that she was ready to go.
