CHAPTER IX
This small goblin village is a small village, with dozens of half-buried huts that look rather rough without even the bark of the trees, but they are large enough to provide shelter for all the greenskinned dwarfs, as well as warehouses for food and tools.
The village has wells, protected by a wooden fence more than a man high, wrapped in thorns with poisonous spikes.
"This is the village of goblins?" Shao Wei asked.
"Well, the village chief here can still say what we say." Shi Junjun sighed, "And it's much better than those stupid foreigners in the school." ”
The old goblin, who is the head of the village, is showing her around the village, and everything here is so new that the girl feels like a tourist who has come to visit.
"The group of adventurers who used to stay in the village for a long time never came out after they went to explore the abyss caves." The old green-skinned dwarf said, "If it weren't for the fact that the village needed to exchange the cavern's unique output with the caravan for necessary supplies, I wouldn't have let Tuk take the risk. ”
Broccoli, who was following next to her, muttered two words that Junjun didn't understand in dissatisfaction.
"Still hard-mouthed? If there are no guests who make a move and burn the dark lord with magic, how can you get those loot on your own? ”
Watching this old goblin teach the little goblin, Shi Junjun remembered something and asked, "What is the Dark Lord?" ”
"It's the monster of that cave, and in the legend of the village, it killed hundreds of explorers who went to the cave." The old goblin turned around and explained, "It's the creature you killed earlier. ”
Dark Lord...... It's really the name of the second middle school, Shi Junjun secretly complained in her heart.
"You don't seem to know much about the world." The old goblin looked at her thoughtfully, "Do you need me to explain it to you?" ”
"Okay."
It is a vast continent with mountains to the north, plains to the central and south, glaciers and deserts to the west, and an endless blue sea to the east.
The kingdom is the largest nation on the continent, with the strongest armies and the most mages.
"Magician?" Shi Junjun couldn't help but interrupt the old goblin's narration, "Is it the kind that can breathe fire and release ice picks?" ”
"As you described, but the ability of the strong ones seems to be far more than that, but unfortunately the human beings I have seen in my life are only caravans and adventurers back then, my knowledge of this world comes from the descriptions of their mouths, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
Crossing, Goblin, Magic, Skeletons, Kingdoms......
These elements boiled into a hodgepodge in the girl's mind, making her a little dizzy.
[Ask it what the ring you picked up was for]
The message sent by Shao Wei made Shi Junjun come back to her senses, and after thinking for a while, she spoke to the old goblin:
"In that abyssal cavern, I once picked up a ring on a skeleton, and I don't know what it was for."
After thinking about it for a while, she took out the ring that Shao Wei had sent back from her pocket.
Shi Junjun didn't hide that she got the ring, because the broccoli was next to her at that time, and it was pointless to lie.
Putting the ring in the palm of his hand and rubbing it, the old goblin, who had been silent for a long time, sighed:
"Are you still dead?"
"This is the item of the leader of the original group of adventurers, and it was the one who taught me to speak this language." That old face was full of reminiscence.
"He also told me a lot of stories from the outside, and all my knowledge about the world came from adults, until that day he said that he was going to explore the deepest part of the abyss cave with his companions, but he never came back."
"According to the Lord, this is supposed to be a tool for casting magic."
As he spoke, the old goblin picked up the slender hemp rope around his neck, which was exactly the same as the one in Shi Junjun's hand except for the lack of those complicated lines.
"The human land is far away from here, and in a few days there will be caravans of wagons coming to trade, and you can return to the human town then." It stood up with its back bent, "Until then, please accept the hospitality of our little village." ”
[Shao Wei, you said that you shouldn't get food poisoning after eating this thing......]
I don't know what and the sticky paste of minced meat was in a rough wooden bowl, giving off a strange smell that Junjun had never smelled at the time.
[If you have a bad stomach in another world, you don't have a doctor to help you see a doctor]
[But they look like they're looking forward to me trying to take a bite]
【... Then take a bite]
In the expectant gaze of the goblins around her, she put away her phone, squeezed out some smiles, and then scooped up a ball of food with a wooden spoon and put it in her mouth, swallowing it without tasting it.
"The Dark Lord's eggs are a rare ingredient that has the power to generate magic......"
Wait, what, the Dark Lord's egg, isn't that a spider egg?
Could it be that there is a ...... in this bowl of paste that I am eating now?
"If you want to increase your magic, you should eat as much as you can."
The old goblin scooped out a large spoonful of sticky paste from the clay pot and added it to her bowl, and the broccoli and other goblins nearby all stared at the half-empty clay pot, and they were so hungry that they were about to flow out of the pot, but they were afraid of the village chief on the side, and they didn't dare to make any moves.
"Why don't they eat it?" Shi Junjun forced herself to endure her nausea and smiled reluctantly.
"It's an ingredient that depends on the guests, so of course it has to be enjoyed by the guests first."
Straightening the hat woven with feathers, the old goblin filled the clay pot with water, and after stirring it a few times, he distributed the much thinner paste to the other long-awaited kind.
Hearing this answer, Shi Junjun pursed her lips, glanced at the broccoli that was feasting, and after a long pause, she made up her mind, scooped up a large spoonful of paste and put it in her mouth.
"Gross-"
"I told you not to eat those things." Shao Wei on the other side of the screen smiled bitterly, "Isn't the food in the real world fragrant?" ”
"The broccoli family stared at me, and I was embarrassed to take two more bites."
The constant retching made Shi Junjun teary-eyed, "But who knew that after eating it, it would be so uncomfortable, and I couldn't vomit it all the time, and I was uncomfortable to death." ”
And not only could she not spit it out, she felt as if there were warm currents swimming in her limbs, and the whole person was so hot that it seemed to be burning.
"Heat-reducing patches and a little hair dryer in your pocket." The boy on the other end of the screen looked at her worriedly, "If you're still not feeling well, I'll buy you medicine." ”
"No...... It's good if you stay with me. ”
The girl crawled to the hay bed in a daze, lay down and closed her eyes tiredly, and put the phone to her ear again.
"Shao Wei?"
"Yes."
"Shao Wei."
"Yes."
Slowly she fell asleep, and in the dream she unconsciously spoke:
"Shao Wei."
"Yes."
