Chapter 22 Secretly digging graves in the middle of the night
"Oh, by the way, old Jill, you haven't said where your ancestors are usually buried?"
Terrence sensed a goblin rushing towards their house outside.
"As the tribe walked north, about an hour later, you could see a very tall tree, which was said to have lived for 800 years."
As soon as the elder Jill finished answering, there was the sound of goblin hurried footsteps outside.
Then the goblin that old Jill had appointed to bring people to the gate and reported.
"Old Priest Gil, I brought them here."
"Well, I've worked hard for you, go and rest."
After letting them rest, Jill Sr. went out and took the goblins into Terrence's house.
The blue-white dragon pupils stared majestically at the goblins that had just entered in front of them, and the dragon power released made them tremble with fright.
"Why are you here now? Didn't you see us cleaning up demonic goblins before! ”
Terrence was a little speechless, these walls had to be beaten and beaten.
"Wei ..... Great Dragon, Venerable Lord Terrence! Actually, we only escaped yesterday....."
"Huh?"
Escaped? Didn't you say hiding nearby!
Old Jill stared sharply at the shivering leading goblin who had been pushed out to speak.
These guys didn't tell themselves the truth!
"Old Jill, you intelligence ..... It's not quite in place! ”
Terrence saw his suspicions and tactfully addressed the suggestion to Old Jill.
"Lord Terrence, I promise you that there will be no next time for this situation!"
Old Jill's answer was also very decisive.
Terrence turned his gaze back to the ragged goblins, who had ring-shaped red scars on their hands and on their feet, presumably shackled? There are traces of whipping in the torn clothes on the body, what species may have been enslaved?
If they can escape, they really have them, and the difficulty is estimated to be no less than that of prison escape.
"What did you get caught?"
Terrence began to ask.
"...... ..... by those"
The leader of the goblins stumbled on his words, and old Jill snatched them away from him.
"Lord Terrence! It must be those gnolls! They must have done it! ”
"Old Jill don't get excited! Let's hear what these guys have to say. ”
Terrence had patrolled the neighborhood and knew that there was a group of gnolls near the Grand Canyon where the goblins lived.
"Thai ..... Lord Terrence! Truly.... It's really the gnolls, and we've been captured by them. ”
"What do you do when you get caught?"
It's not hard to understand that goblins are enslaved by gnolls.
Goblins can only be regarded as low-level monsters, and only when leaders such as goblin warriors, goblin priests, and goblin kings are born, goblins can be stronger, otherwise they are just a plate of loose sand and unpopular monster cannon fodder.
Gnolls are different, usually in groups of hundreds of units, and their wandering lifestyle makes the group combat effectiveness and threat and destructive power of the Gnolls defined as medium monster level, even if their individual combat power is not strong.
Only adventurers of the Silver tier and above will be able to take on the task of dealing with these social gnolls.
"Cut down trees for them, and dig up the soil."
Chopping trees and digging soil? Are they going to live here for a long time?
"What do you think, old Jill?"
Terrence intends to ask the "locals" what they think of these gnolloll outsiders.
"Actually..... Not long before the demonization occurred, the gnolls had attacked our tribe. ”
"So you linked them to the Demonization Event?"
Terrence asked Old Jill. rhetorically.
"Yes, I still can't believe that the sealing altar you said would suddenly expire during this time period."
"The fact that the altar can seal that abyssal crack shows that the seal of the altar must be stable, and the sudden collapse is really incomprehensible to me."
Old Jill is also a spellcaster, and although he can't do it for sealing magic, the principles of magic are the same, and this kind of magic that can be sealed for a long time cannot be constructed on the premise of instability.
"Well, I know everything, old Jill, you take them down!"
"Okay, then you can get some rest."
Old Jill gently exited with a few goblins, closing the door to Terrence's house by the way.
"The sudden arrival of the gnolls, the instability of the sealing altar, the way the elven green forest may be left behind......"
Terrence linked these clues in his mind, pondered the possibilities of these clues before going to bed, and then fell asleep in his thoughts......
The moon was in the sky, and it was late at night.
Terrence's body's biological clock woke him up on time.
"It's finally evening......"
Terrence sighed and pushed open the door to the room, and then went to the decipherment room where Palaya lived opposite.
"Paraya, wake me up!"
It took a few kicks from Terrence for Palaya to wake up from a deep sleep.
"Terrence will wake me up without giving a reason! Then don't even think about sleeping well next time! ”
Palaya's wake up was very angry.
"Okay, okay, it's going to be good for me to wake you up!"
"You woke me up last time and told me to cut down a tree! Dare you say it's a good thing! ”
As she spoke, Pallaya took advantage of Terrence's answer and flung a dragon's tail out from the side.
How could Terrence not notice her little movements? After all, I've been recruited before.....
"If you don't cut down trees, how can you fish, how can you get food? That's certainly a good thing! ”
Terrence didn't want to talk about the old thing.
"Now go out with me, and we'll talk about it on the way."
"If it weren't for a good thing, I would never have spared you!"
"Rest assured! Definitely a good thing! ”
Terrence said, casting soundproofing and stealth magic spells on himself and Palaya.
This makes Palaya simply confused!
Why do you need to be so sneaky at home?
The door to the decipherment room opened, and two dragon shadows quickly disappeared into the twilight sky.
After flying some distance, Terrence and Pallaya stopped at a tall ancient tree.
"Let's dig it!"
"What did you say!"
Palaya's claws are ready to be beaten!
"I said baby down there!"
"Haha!"
Palaya laughed angrily.
"What treasure can be buried under a tree? Terrence: I think you're sleeping too little! The borneol is already a little silly. ”
Terrence was not angry, and silently removed the magic of the concealment effect, and went to a cemetery-like place under the big tree and began to dig.
"And where do you think the elf's body will be buried?"
While digging, Terrence asked Palaya, who was watching the play.
"Of course, it's the World Tree that gave birth to the elves!"
Because Palaya had to translate the ancient elven language, he was forced to understand the history of the elves.
Elves belong to the immortal species, and they can even live up to a thousand years if there is no accident. The vast majority of elves will choose to return to the World Tree that gave birth to them after death, but there will also be a very small number of elves who are nostalgic for the outside world and bury themselves outside in a place that has special meaning for their lives.
"And what if that High Elf Green Forest didn't bury itself in the World Tree, but here?"
Terrence's rhetorical question made Palaya stunned slightly.
All along, with Palaya's understanding of Terrence, Terrence at least truly fulfilled the oath and pact she had made to Tiamat, the queen of dragons.
Because of the contract, when Terrence needs her to help, most of the people in Palaya will choose to be willing, although they are also very reluctant in their hearts.
But now it occurred to Palaya that, indeed, she couldn't imagine that Terrence would wake up in the middle of the night and come here to dig in the dirt.
Later, Palaya joined Terrence in digging up his graves.
Digging until midnight, the effect of the two dragons working together is remarkable, and the grave is basically dug up.
