Chapter Twenty-Three: The Kuhan Tavern
Kuhan's wind blew through the bustling streets, as well as through the slingshot-pierced curtains in the magic lab. Standing in the mess of the research room, Lista finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching Lille stand still and drink the ice strawberry liqueur in one gulp, everyone present put their hearts down. Lille smacked his mouth, as if he still had some unfinished business, but his face had obviously eased a lot, and even the slingshot was put away.
Lille: "Hehehe, I'm in a good mood, hehe, I have to go, hehe." ”
His temper was really a bit strange, and after saying a few words to himself, he left the magic research institute by himself, and the door closed, and the three people in the research institute exhaled a long sigh of exhaustion.
However, Brin quickly reacted, and after placing the bottles and cans on the table, he looked back at the two with a gloomy face.
Brin: "Why are you helping him to mess with it, do you know how important the research I am doing?" If the research fails, or if these drugs are destroyed, do you know how serious it is? ”
Lista knew that he was wrong, so he didn't speak, after all, the slingshot was brought by himself, and Lille was hiding behind him, so that Brin was defenseless from being attacked.
However, Fiona didn't eat this, and immediately crossed her hands and said unconvinced: "Brin, it's not right for you to say that, we didn't know it would be like this, and in the end, wasn't it the trouble that Lista helped you solve?" Moreover, I heard your name Master Lille just now, I didn't think about it, you still have this relationship, and the grievances between your master and apprentice, do you also want to count them on our heads? ”
Brin was slightly stunned, and soon his face turned red, and he lowered his head and pretended to fiddle with his bottles and cans, while flatly denying it.
Brin: "You said I called that crazy old man?" No, you must have misheard. ”
Seeing that he denied it, Lista also followed closely to prove that he had indeed said it just now.
Lista: "But I heard it just now, you shouted clearly......"
Before Lista could finish speaking, Brin jerked his head up and said solemnly, "Didn't I say you heard me wrong?" Don't you have anything else to do? Could it be that the mercenary group would come to bully a weak mage when they were idle? I just saw a letter from Rochester, so stop bullying me and go back to the mercenary office. ”
After a few words, Lista and Fiona were speechless, neither of them expected that Brin would actually say that he was a weak magician. Since this is the case, there is no point in continuing to argue, the relationship between Lille and Brin, let's explore it slowly in the future, and go back to the mercenary office first to see what letter Rochester has sent.
After the two said goodbye to Brin, they went straight back to the office, and Deyun was a little surprised by the appearance of the two.
Deyun: "You're here, it's really time, the letter from the Kingdom Knights has just arrived, and I want to find someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”
Lista: "What did you say in the reply?" Is there any mention of the task after that. ”
Deyun: "According to the letter, a demon goblin moved from the Fabello Plains to the Ice Valley with the letter. A guy in a black robe with two horns made of decorations has acted, so he asks us to intercept it tomorrow in the iceberg, to find this demon, and to retrieve the paperwork. Based on the content of the letters, we can determine our next steps. ”
After listening to the letter, Fiona said, "Let's go, intercept this goblin, and bring back the paperwork." ”
But Ai Dan on the side shook his head and said calmly: "This time is different, not only the goblins, but also the traces of the demons, it's just that the two of you are too dangerous, I still want to apply for the assistance of the knights, and now there are really not many people in the mercenary group." After speaking, Ai Dan looked at Deyun, who was also dark and worried at this time.
"Add me one."
Karui walked through the door, smiled at Aidan and Deru, and stood beside Lista and Fiona.
Karui: "With my words, the win rate is much higher, after all, no matter how powerful a goblin is, it is also a goblin, there is no problem." ”
Facing the three of them, Edan was still a little uneasy, but Hawk quickly rushed in through the door.
Hawke: "And me, how can this kind of thing be without me?" ”
Locke's team had been gathered, and Adan looked at Hawke and asked, "Hawke, are you well?" Can you really participate in the battle? ”
Hawke: "Harm, it's all a small problem, it doesn't have much impact at all, they have been forced to lie in bed every day for the past few days, I'm almost moldy, and this time they will take me to the event with me." ”
Seeing that Edan was still a little worried, Lista said: "Commander, if you ask for support now, not to mention whether the knights can draw out manpower, even if someone can come, but in the time that this news has come and gone, it is estimated that the goblins with the documents have completed their tasks, and the best decision now is not to let us intercept the documents and then decide on the follow-up battle plan?" ”
Listening to Lista's words, Fiona also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Master, time is urgent, now we can only intercept it first." ”
Adan sighed softly, and then replied, "Okay, what you said makes sense, then you can set off to intercept it first, and I will be here at any time to meet you." ”
"Good!"
At this time, it was already late, and after several people had cleaned up, they each returned to their resting place to rest early, and when the next morning came, when the dawn first appeared, the four of them had already met at the entrance of the village and went to the ice valley together.
On the way, Hawk saw that Karui was still following him, and said a little helplessly: "Brother Kalu, this time we are going to fight, you don't have to stare at me anymore, right?" ”
Karui scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry, Brother Hawke, get used to it." Don't worry, I won't stop you again this time. ”
Hawke gave him a roll of his eyes, but he didn't continue to say anything, although the closer he got to the ice valley, the lower the temperature, but the little growth of fighting spirit in Hawke's heart made his whole body hot.
Soon, several people came to the path of the goblin, and a few people came to the higher cliff on one side, quietly waiting for the goblin to arrive.
However, before they could hide for long, they saw a large number of goblins emerge from the ice valley, as if to meet the goblins with the papers, and some of the goblins also hid around the road and laid an ambush, it seems that they also know what will happen next.
Several of them frowned slightly, only Hawke's hand that clenched the big sword harder, the more obvious the battle intent became.
Soon, a figure shrouded in black robes gradually approached from a distance, and it looked like the goblin with the letter mentioned in the Knights' letters. Seeing that goblin is different from other costumes, it really has a sense of nondescriptry.
Seeing that the goblins had already met, Fiona immediately said: "Karui, you feint head-on, Lista, you assist me in killing from the side, Hawke, you ......"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Hawke had already jumped to his feet, stepped on the ice and slid down with his greatsword, rushing into the goblin group, brandishing his greatsword and fighting.
Fiona held her forehead and waved her hand helplessly.
Fiona: "Forget it, be improvised, on!" ”
Karui then rushed out, the huge totem pole waving in his hand. Two big men rushed out in an instant, and there was also a commotion in the goblin group, and for a while, the two of them had the upper hand.
But while the goblin leader, who reacted quickly, immediately organized an attack, several goblins protected the black-robed goblin and walked towards the ice valley.
Lista drew his twin swords and said in a deep voice, "Give me the black robe." ”
With that, his body had turned into blue light and rushed towards the black-robed goblin. Originally, he thought that he could solve it quickly, but the goblins who had never wanted to protect the black-robed goblins, the first time they saw the blue light, they directly surrounded the black-robed goblins in the middle and used their bodies to form a human wall.
The sword light slashed, and a goblin was killed on the spot, but Lista's figure also stagnated, and when several goblins around him swarmed up, the thunder was furious, and Lista rushed out again at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and the double swords pointed directly at the black-robed goblin.
However, his sword stopped in front of the goblin, the tip of the sword was only a little pierced, and he could no longer move in, and the next moment, the goblin lifted the black robe on his body, and the goblin standing in front of Lista at this time was not only taller and stronger than ordinary goblins, but also bubbling with black gas, and a pair of strange horns on his head.
Moreover, the biggest difference with other goblins is that other goblins may be holding hand axes, mallets, blow arrows, slingshots and other weapons, but the goblin in front of him at this time is holding a well-made long knife in his hand.
The black goblin roared angrily, swept with a large sword, and slashed towards Lista without regard for the goblins who were protecting him by his side.
Lista quickly slid to dodge, but the goblins around him were not so lucky, and were directly cut in half by the broadsword.
Seeing that the big sword slashed again, after Lista dodged sideways, he immediately seized the opportunity to slash at the chest of the black goblin, but although the damage was done, the wound was not deep, and not even a drop of blood came out.
This black goblin, not only is the attack power not comparable to other goblins, but even the defense power is ridiculously high, just now the two swords of Lista have used eight points of strength, if it is an ordinary goblin, it has already been in a different place, but it can be slashed on this goblin, it seems that it is just a little skin trauma.
After secretly increasing the danger level by another point, Lista became more focused, dodging attacks and looking for counterattack opportunities, while also trying to make each of his attacks fall in the same place, so that he can cause more damage in the fastest time.
With another double sword slash, blood finally burst out of the hard skin of the black goblin.
Lista smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "I thought you really wouldn't bleed!" ”
However, in the next moment, the pain-eating black qi goblin roared, and the black qi all over his body actually surged up like substance.
