Chapter 265 (1/2)
Three small figures emerged from the bushes in confusion.
Little fatan tannis, sweating and panting, went straight to the flat ground: ”no way Whoosh I have I can't run... ”
”Bah, bah,” kamiyou vomited the leaves out of his mouth and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He looked back nervously at something: ”didn't those things follow?”
”I don't know.” Compared with his two partners, Riedel, who grew up in the countryside, was much more leisurely. He took the leaves off his head and neck, and listened attentively to something. After a while, he replied with certainty: ”there is no movement. It seems that we have lost it.”
At Riddell's words, Camille let out a long breath, and sat down on the ground covered with fallen leaves to rest.
”Speaking of it, I remember it was written in the textbook that goblins are allies of mankind and members of the pan Terran alliance?” After calming down, kamiyu had the leisure to think about other things: ”then why are the goblins chasing us? That kind of ferocious manner doesn't seem to invite us to eat
”Because those are goblins.” Tanis finally almost gasped for breath, sat up from the ground and shot off the insects that had climbed onto his clothes. Two days ago, the little fat man would have been frightened to see them, but now he is almost used to it
”Black goblin? What is that? ” Camille and Riedel looked curiously at the little fat man.
”Are you all sleeping in the magic arts class...”
Tanis said in a sullen voice, and then explained: ”the black goblin is a subspecies of goblin, and its strength is second only to bear goblin among goblin like creatures Well, even though ten black goblins don't add up to bear goblins, that's what it is. They are greedy, brutal, mentally retarded, and like to attack seemingly weak creatures. There are also rumors that the black goblins are just ordinary Goblins who are infected by the evil spirit of the abyss. Anyway, they are not good guys
”According to the description in the Encyclopedia of demons, the Crusade level of the goblin is about Level 3. According to the individual's strength and armed level, there is a plus or minus 2 correction, but I'm more concerned about that.” Tanis's gray, fat face showed a puzzled expression: ”black goblin and bear goblin, the number of simultaneous action should be between one and three, this time we met the number of nearly 30 is really abnormal!”
”Anyway...” Kamiyou, holding a bush, stood up with a sound of sex and looked at the distance: ”we all have to work hard to pass this test.”
Riedel and Tennessee followed his gaze, with a look of longing on their faces.
Through the canopy, which had begun to become sparse, one could dimly see the eastern column that was straight into the sky.
The pillar of Lederer.
After entering the door of trial, the students of Aldrich will appear in the center of this floor, and then they will have to choose one of the four directions of southeast and northwest, make their own route, and finally reach any one of the four Lederer pillars. Only by touching Lederer's column, can the trial content be considered completed.
The three men chose the East. With too many forks, they were separated from the army when they walked. In fact, they still maintain the largest number of troops, only about 10 people.
Although being chased by the goblin, but also unexpectedly accelerated the journey, according to this progress, only two or three days can complete the trial.
”Well, the rest is almost over. Let's go on!” Kamiyou patted off his leaves and said with great passion: ”the goal is the pillar of Lederer!”
”Oh ”Oh
Ten minutes later.
”I No more... ”
Tanis lay down on the ground, his eyes beginning to cloud.
”No, you'll be all right!” Kamiyu cried out in a sad voice: ”stand up quickly!”
Little Pang Dun turned his head and looked at kamiyu: ”I didn't expect At the end of my life It's you who are beside me... ”
”Don't give up! Now is not the time to give up! ”
”Hum Although I am not willing to When I die, you must take my body Buried under the pine tree on the edge of Kashi Bay in my hometown... ” Tanis stretched out his right hand to kamiyu with trembling voice and solemnly confessed: ”on my epitaph ”At the end of the day, he made unremitting efforts towards his goal Until you die of hunger. ”
”So if you're just hungry, don't look like you're going to die!”
Kamiyou took Tanis's hand and lifted it vigorously. He turned the little fat man over directly, making him almost buried by fallen leaves.
”What a noise! I haven't had the experience of not eating for 12 hours since I was born
”Isn't it just right to lose a little weight at this time?”
Just as the two little guys were making a noise, Riedel poked his head out of the tree crown and pointed to the front: ”there seems to be a village not far from that direction.”Tanis's eyes lit up and he yelled, ”food!” Run in the direction Riedel points to.
”I was half dead just now...”
Kamiyou looked at the back of the fat man who had gone away, and stroked his forehead helplessly.
”Shall we follow it?” Riedel slid down the tree trunk and asked kamiyu.
”I can't help it. I can't leave the fat man there. I can only go and have a look.” Kamiyou shrugged: ”besides, if it's really an ordinary village, isn't it just suitable for intelligence gathering?”
After reaching a consensus, they also set out to catch up with Tanis. Although the food is very attractive, but because of his body shape, even if tannis ran as fast as he could, he could not really leave Camille and Riedel far away
The village was not far away from where the three men were, and the distance was shortened a lot by running. More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the small village that Riedel saw at the top of the tree.
”This is The dwarves' village? ” Kamiyu looked at the villagers in the village who were almost as tall as him, but were already adults in appearance. He asked Tanis in a puzzled way.
Tannis didn't run as well as his two friends, and it took him a few minutes to catch his breath: ”not dwarfs, these are halflings. You'd better take care of your things. ”
”Halflings?” Riedel drew back his curious eyes and asked, ”have you ever taught magic knowledge? Why don't I seem to have heard of this race? ”
”No, it's normal. There are almost no halflings in the eastern plains. Only the mainland geomancy class has mentioned them I remember that neither of you took the course of mainland customs, did you? ” Tanis glanced at them, and Camille and Riedel looked away with a dry smile - for them, it was better to spend their time playing than to take the courses.
”But what is their relationship with humans?” Seeing that there are already halflings, the villagers turn their eyes to them, and kamiyu asks again. What attitude to treat each other next depends on the other's views on human beings.
”Although halflings are a little picky and short-sighted, they have a good relationship with human beings. It is said that in the era of great migration, many halflings were employed as scouts. ”
With that, tannis nodded to the halflings and made an old aristocratic ceremony.
And then those people who don't look back left
“…… That's what you mean, good relationship? ” Kamiyou looked at the empty entrance of the village and asked Tanis, who was embarrassed.
”There are always exceptions.”
Apart from the fact that we didn't enjoy meeting each other at the beginning, the halflings were not really like orcs, elves, and so on. At the beginning, they were biased against human beings, although kamiyou always felt that the halflings were always looking at themselves with the eyes of sheep
After buying a decent lunch in a restaurant for a lot of copper, Camille began to try to talk to the halflings in the restaurant.
It is a pity that even kamiyou, who has felt the warmth and warmth of human nature since childhood, can not compare with those experienced and even some rogue halflings in terms of experience. After talking for more than ten minutes, he not only failed to get useful information from the other side, but also wasted a lot of money in vain.
”No, these guys are too cunning Well, the sandwich is good
Kamiyu, who failed to achieve his intended goal, could only ruminate on his sandwich.
At this time, a figure in a red robe suddenly appeared in front of them.
”Halflings are born scoundrels, and it's too early for you to get them.”
Riedel and Tennessee both froze at the sight of the figure, and Camille choked directly.
