"Damn it!" The monster became agitated again, "How dare you insult me, you despicable wizard. Guest? I opened someone's door without permission, walked into my garden, and broke my flowers. And you want me to be hospitable, I bah! ”

The monster spat and gasped for breath, finally closing its mouth. His fangs were exposed, reminding Rick of the goofy boar man.

"So, are we just standing? Do you want to compare and compare? ”

Rick shook his wand in his hand, and the smile on his face grew. He was very curious about the strength of the monster in front of him, who could not determine what kind of monster he could not determine by his characteristics.

"Put your wand down, I said it!"

Seeing Rick shaking his wand back and forth, the unknown monster was a little nervous, and he yelled, warning Rick again.

"Alright, alright. I put my wand down. ”

Rick didn't test the other either, inserting the wand in his hand into his waist, but he kept his hand on the handle.

"You see, I've laid down my wand. I hope you don't do any sneak attacks, because I can kill you at any time. I'm stronger than you think! ”

"I noticed!"

Seeing that Rick's hand kept touching his wand, the monster said with some annoyance.

"If it weren't for this, you would have been kicked out of the door by me, what do you want to do here? How did you find my home? ”

"It should be some kind of special fate."

Rick craned his neck and said.

"Fate is a fart! I'm afraid you're not lost! ”

The monster seems to have a high IQ, and at once he sees through Rick's lies, and the corners of his mouth crack open to reveal a malicious smile.

"Don't worry about details that aren't going to be necessary."

Rick waved his hand and continued to play with the rose in his hand. His eyes shifted from the monster's body to the sky, the waning crescent moon.

"Cut! I'll show you the way! Once you're out of the gate, keep your right hand on the moon and keep walking, and you'll soon find a great path. Do you understand? Get out of my house as soon as you understand! ”

After listening to the monster's words, Rick's eyes lit up, and he sighed inwardly that this was still a very enthusiastic monster.

"Is there water here? I'm getting thirsty! ”

"Liar! You wizards have a trick at summoning things from the air, so if you're thirsty, why don't you get some of your own? ”

Faced with Rick begging for water, the monster opened its mouth and bared its bloody fangs, roaring.

"It's okay if you don't give me water, let me stay with you for one night. It's getting dark. I don't want to walk at night! ”

Seeing that this monster had once again seen through his lies, Rick did not continue to find other reasons, and said straight to the point.

"You're not afraid I'll eat you?" Hearing that the young wizard in front of him actually wanted to stay in his house for one night, the monster's eyes were furrowed, and he stomped his foot, grabbed his ear and said.

"Should I be afraid?"

Rick left the rose in his hand on the ground and glanced at the monster in front of him.

"Gan! There are wizards who want to sleep in the monster's room, and this is the first time I've met a daring guy like you. But I have everything in my house. You're in luck!

However, I told you that it was okay to sleep for one night, but you should not steal from my house. If I find out that you stole a leaf, a petal, from me. I'll show you how terrible I am, and don't forget that this is my territory. ”

The monster looked around, cleared its throat, and lifted its pants with all its might.

He raised his furry paw and waved it a few times, making a very gentlemanly manner. At this moment, all the blinds closed with a clatter, and there was a roaring sound from below the mermaid statue.

"Welcome!"

Seeing that for the first time a monster had learned aristocratic etiquette to welcome him into his house, Rick couldn't help but chuckle. In order not to offend the monster, he asked.

"There's only one of you here... Person? ”

"What does this have to do with you? Do wizards do censuses? ”

The monster opened its bloody mouth and said with some anger. His voice was raised, and he listened hoarsely.

"Oh, I see. Do you want to know if I have a bunch of servants who are as beautiful as I am? Don't think about it, I'm the only one here. If you think my hospitality isn't up to your standards, get out of here. ”

The monsters were already so polite, and Rick couldn't be rude, he bent down and bowed.

"Thank you so much for staying with me. Thank you for your generous hospitality! ”

"Then make this your home, and don't be inhibited."

The monster also replied seriously, but unfortunately the tone was still so fierce and vulgar.

Following the monster, Rick walked into his room, which contrasted sharply with the filthy appearance outside. It's not as messy inside as Rick thinks.

It was very neat and clean, but there was a clear desire for a major restoration. The furniture looks very exquisite, but it is also a little shabby. Rick guesses that the furniture and the ornaments are probably hundreds of years old.

A few steps further in, a pungent breath that made Rick unbearable came to his face.

Well, that's what a monster's home should smell like. ’

Covering his nose with a handkerchief, Rick confirmed that he had indeed entered the monster's house.

"Candle Flame!"

The monster shouted, and the candles on the iron shelves in the house burst into flames, illuminating the entire room.

"Not bad!"

Unexpectedly, this monster could also use magic, and Rick became even more curious about what breed he was.

Hearing Rick's appreciation, the monster burst out laughing. "That's good? I thought these outdated tricks wouldn't impress you, a wizard, but I tell you, this house will do my bidding. Please go this way. Be careful, the steps are a bit steep. ”

The two of them walked halfway down the stairs when the monster turned back to Rick and asked.

"Where are you from, this guest? What are you doing here? ”

"I'm a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I'm here to gather some materials for class. You know, there are some precious materials, and it's usually very expensive. So I'll have to look for it myself. ”

After hearing Rick's reasoning, the monster touched the fur on his cheek, and then nodded to Rick with sympathetic eyes.

"Indeed, most of you wizards who can come to this forest are poor ghosts."

‘emmm......’

Considered a poor ghost by a monster, and sympathized. Rick had a feeling of being stabbed with a knife, but it was an excuse he had made, and he had to catch it with a smile.

Entering the second floor, and waiting for the monster to light all the candles, Rick found that there were no windows. One wall is covered with a variety of weapons, including round shields, three-pronged halberds, wooden-handled javelins and long-grooved knives, as well as heavy swords and long-handled axes.
