·
You took out the Julianne first aid kit and planned to treat him. Just a few steps away, Elizabeth suddenly stopped you. When you looked back, the woman had a pocket crossbow hanging in her hand. She had used it to aim.
you.
"You are a rookie adventurer after all." Elizabeth said while slowly raising the crossbow towards you, "You humans have a big misunderstanding of Goblins. You think you are the highest humanoid creature. No, in fact Goblins are
.They have multiplied everywhere in a world full of more powerful species. No humanoid creature can continuously win out in natural selection like Goblins - villages, towns, forests, swamps, mountains, Gobi and even snow.
Hai - they can be said to be natural survival masters in the wild."
Whoosh!
She shot an arrow next to you, and the crossbow bolt penetrated deeply into the snow and disappeared.
"If the individuals were not too weak, the world would have been ruled by goblins long ago." Elizabeth bowed her head and pulled the string to shoot, "It can both make and destroy, it can use magic, and it can sneak attack and assassinate."
Whoosh!
She shot another arrow into the snow at your feet. There was nothing there.
"And very cunning."
Whoosh!
The third shot.
Why is she shooting a crossbow into the snow next to you? Regardless, you continue toward the injured man, who needs medical attention as soon as possible.
Suddenly! Three goblins jump out of the thick snow! They are wearing thick furs, their whole bodies are made white, and they roar in goblin language and launch a surprise attack on you!
There was a pop, and as soon as one of the goblins with the short bow showed its head, a crossbow bolt was inserted into its head, and it fell to the snow and died on the spot. The other two were wielding short spears and small shields and daggers respectively.
Come on!
You were not mentally prepared at all and were caught off guard!
He threw away the first aid kit and dodged backwards, but his feet were blocked by the snow.
Seeing the short spear stabbing you, you fell to the snow. At the last moment, you used the "Force Field Shield Ring" to block the thrust. At this time, you had just pulled out the +1 short sword from its sheath and stabbed the other person.
The shield of the Goblin that rushed towards him stopped its charge.
The two goblins suddenly seemed hesitant in their movements.
Not only because the short spear was blocked by something transparent, not only because the small wooden shield was pierced by the +1 short sword, but also because...the other three companions did not jump out of the snow together.
Originally there were six in ambush, but one was shot dead when they emerged. Why did six minus one become two?
Because of the snowstorm, Coco couldn't hear the Goblin hiding in the snow in time. Now he rushed over in a hurry, avoiding the dagger stabbing at the same time while piercing the Goblin's shoulders, listening to the wailing, and held it tightly
Nailed in the snow.
Elizabeth took aim slowly,
He shot the short spear goblin to death and muttered: "Why are they dressed so warmly?"
You stretched out your hand to stop him: "Don't kill! We need to collect information!"
In the blink of an eye, only the last Goblin was left, and the snow where the crossbow had been fired was just beginning to turn red. The three Goblins lurking in the snow would never have a chance to show up.
You ask behind you, who knows Goblin language?
Elizabeth raised her hand.
She took Coco's place, stepped on the Goblin, pulled out the Goblin's dagger and inserted it into the wound on his shoulder, turned the handle, and asked a few questions.
"Hand over!...Yah! Hand over the "Frost Messenger"!"
The goblin shouted repeatedly in common language, as if he could only speak this sentence, and everything else was in goblin language.
Annette asked: "What is it saying?"
"Oh, some begging for mercy and some inappropriate curses." After saying that, Elizabeth cut the goblin's throat neatly and threw away the dirty dagger. "It just memorized such a common language. I just said that I understand goblins.
Have you learned the language yet? I’m sorry, that’s a lie. It’s enough to be able to read the superficial consciousness. Who would go to the trouble of learning other languages?”
"Why kill it? It's still useful!"
"No, this is just a little minion, and it scolded me too harshly - but I guess it must have spoken very well."
While Annette and Elizabeth were arguing, you shared Leia's feelings - from afar, a group of armed men came from Frost Ridge Manor.
The little guy can fly high and see far.

Sitting by the fireplace, holding a glass of soju, you are surrounded by many people.
The winemaker is smiling, the guard captain is frowning, and there is a young boy who seems to be second only to them with an expressionless face - he looks like he has just turned 15, maybe not even yet. In addition, there are
Many people and villagers gathered in the castle of Shuangling Village, and two armed men were also in the living room... They seemed to be the guards of the village.
Everyone is staring at you.
The first person to speak was the winemaker. He opened his arms happily and said: "You are very welcome! We are finally waiting for the support sent by the ancient city market! Are you warmer? There is nothing in the winery, but there is a lot of wine! Let's drink some more to warm us up.
Body?"
"Hey, what kind of support do they have?"
The guard captain changed his crossed leg and turned to the side, his expression full of disdain: "At best, he is a messenger for the ancient city market. Didn't you listen to them? It will probably take three days for the "real" reinforcements from the market to arrive.
Depending on the weather, it might take four days."
With a clatter, the winemaker shook the paper in his hand: "Look carefully at what is written on it - "Our market has great trust in this team of adventurers. The combat effectiveness may be insufficient, but please rest assured and we will provide maximum support and cooperation.
!A large number of guards, manpower, supplies, and convoys are being assembled and are expected to arrive in three days. "The signature on the signature is signed by the market manager. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"
"Ha! It can only mean that these adventurers are just idiots." The guard captain laughed, "Not only do they lack combat power, they are complete novices."
The guard captain stood up and scratched his head, and said angrily: "Don't think about it: if the goblins win, how can there be a man who is still alive? If the goblins lose, what will happen to the snow?"
There would be no goblin corpses. When I raised the lookout, guess what I saw? A stupid idiot jumped into the trap with a first aid kit."
"The goblins were so small. Maybe they all died and were buried in the snow."
"You can't judge by looking at the snow on the carriage? So, if they are on the same level of thinking as you, I can't safely fight with them."
"Please be respectful! They are the ones who saved us!"
"Is it necessary? First, the guy's injury was not fatal, and the cold prevented excessive blood loss. When we rushed over, the adventurers had just started to put on bandages. Second, the kid didn't listen to my dissuasion!
I have to sneak out of Shuangling Village! Thanks to him, I sacrificed two brothers in vain!" The guard captain pointed at everyone around him and shouted loudly, "I'll say it again! This group of goblins was instigated by someone.
Very cunning! No one is allowed to leave Shuangling Village without my permission! If you want to seek death, go alone and don’t bring others with you!"
Boom!
The guard captain slammed the door and left the living room.
The brewer explained with an embarrassed expression: "He is actually a good guy, but five guards have died in a row recently, and he is in a terrible mood. Please don't mind, adventurers! I dare to vouch for him in my name, and he will never
I will embarrass you, even if it is just for the sake of the introduction letter from the market."
After thanking you again for saving the injured man, the winemaker began to enthusiastically arrange your accommodation and meals.
Annette has taken the medicine,
There is no priest in this small place, and although there is a druid who can use healing spells, he can't cast away diseases.
Moreover, what is surprising is that the druid also refused to treat the injured man's thigh - even though the injury had reached the bone.
"Then, I'll go back first." The immature boy turned to leave.
He suddenly stopped when he heard the next sentence.
Annette sat very close to the fireplace, stretched out her hands to keep warm, and asked the winemaker: "Hello, my lord, can you tell us first, who is the "Frostbringer"?"
Well.
The winemaker's face froze, and the immature boy kept reaching for the door. The other villagers and guards also had strange expressions. "Frostbringer" seemed to be a very sensitive word here.
After a brief silence, the winemaker continued to show his enthusiastic smile: "You are so anxious to start work even though you are freezing? Let's rest first, get warm first, drink something and eat something first, we will talk later."
Hey, white and tender, how about you answer us?——Elizabeth raised her hand and pointed at the young boy through several people.
"...He is in Shuangling Villa." After saying that, the young man left the living room.
For some reason, the surrounding villagers suddenly became excited and surrounded the winemaker!
"Sir! Release the Frostbringer quickly! What time is it!"
"It's the same big sin! All my animals are freezing to death! Your vineyard...even the indoor one is almost finished!"
"My crops are almost dead! What are you waiting for? Waiting for everyone to die together? Waiting for three days to destroy all our harvests?"
The winemaker repeatedly raised his hand to comfort him: We will definitely find a way, but the Frost Messenger must not be released, otherwise things will become increasingly impossible to end. Please be patient, be patient, and don't get excited! If you have anything, you can find an adventure introduced by the market.
To be continued...
