Chapter 3

2028 Words
The goblin was completely stunned. may be that he has endured hunger for too long to make him have such an illusion of luxury at this moment. Rouxiang kept digging into his nose along the wind, and he gave a hard shiver.   Is this a temptation? He thought uneasily and blankly. The lord of Mershburg is cruel and vicious, and all the people who can survive in his territory have been submissive to him. So at the moment when generosity suddenly came, the first thing he thought of was whether there was any trap hidden in this sentence. The lord had done such a thing before. Freeing a slave who was about to be executed, watching him cry with gratitude and surprise, and then when he turned around, he signaled the guard to pierce the slave"s heart with a sword. It was a half- orc, a simple and honest tauren. His head was cut off, his eyes filled with tears of gratitude and ecstasy before his death, the pain of the long sword passing through his body and the moment of daze were perfectly intertwined on his face, which became the lord"s most satisfying collection.. The goblin completely froze, he didn"t dare to move or answer, he just bent his waist lower in panic, wishing to kneel on the ground, let the adults in front of him see his humbleness and hesitation, and stop teasing him. air was silent for a moment, and he heard the grown-up speak again.   " The food is here. If you want it, come up. " He stared, his white bandaged feet drifting away from view. The goblin"s feet moved, then moved again. Finally he took a step back and slid back into the cave. His waist straightened up, and the moment he submerged into the ground, his eyes couldn"t help looking in that direction. The young adult sat on a tree stump, her long hair as bright as moonlight was pulled behind her ears, and her pale golden eyes were as gentle as the morning sun.   ... This lord is different from the cunning and cruel lord.   The thought flashed through his mind, and then took root. His eternally sad face showed a hint of happiness that had disappeared since the fall of the gods, and he burrowed into the depths of the burrow. His companions had already placed the bodies of their compatriots, silently refilling the burrows. Before the end of the age, they may pool a sum of money to invite pastors of the church to sing sacrificial songs for their dead compatriots. But over the years, the church has collapsed, the pastors have lost their support, and they have witnessed so many deaths that they have reached the point of numbness in fact, dying on the current Ketasi continent may not be such a bad thing. The young goblin stood firm. Inside lay their partner, his expression quiet again. He and his companions began to fill in the cave, and their movements were more flexible than any goblin. It looked like they were severely beaten by the lord"s whip when they were working, but they did not show a fearful expression. Tim noticed that he had just left the burrow, leaned closer, and asked him, " What happened, Jill? " Jill couldn"t hold back for a long time, and finally heard his companion"s question, and turned his head suddenly. digging splashed onto his face. His face was dirty, against the green, shriveled skin, and the eye sockets that were too big because he was too thin. Worry.   " The lord prepared food for us. " Jill said happily, he didn"t lower the volume, and the goblins next to him could hear it. " It"s snake meat, roasted, lots and lots of snake meat. " The hole is narrow, but it is crowded with six or seven little goblins. As soon as he said this, the air was still for a moment, and the goblins who were struggling to fill the soil all stopped strangely. Tim"s eyes widened, and she couldn"t believe what she had just heard. The same goes for the other goblins, with a blank expression on their faces.   "... Jill, what did you say? "   " The lord roasted a lot of snake meat and invited us to share it with her - don"t stop, everyone, hurry up! Fill the cave and we can go up and eat the meat! " shared.   This word is so rare in the apocalypse that the goblins still can"t react, but Jill said the word " meat " so loudly that there were even echoes in the burrow. eat meat. A goblin asked in a trance: " Is it true? Jill, are you joking? " How could Jill joke about this kind of thing? He struggled to fill the soil and muttered: " If you don"t believe it, just go up and take a look! " The goblins are back in action. Even Tim"s child, a little goblin with no clothes on, hastened the landfill. The speed at which caves are being dug is already fast, and the speed at which they are being filled is even more astonishing than before. They quickly emerged from the burrow and climbed back to the ground. Before their eyes readjusted to the moonlight on the ground, they smelled that enticing fragrance. The fat from the snake meat that was grilled on the rack sizzled, Lucia raised her eyes and glanced at the group of goblins.   This is a tree pepper forest. The snake just bent the branches of the tree, so that the tree peppers were pressed to a position where they could reach on tiptoes. Lucia picked a few tree peppers, picked up a stone from the ground, went to the stream not far away to wash it, and then used the stone to grind the tree pepper. Before hearing the goblin"s cry for help, she was by the creek, trying to fish. She had read in a book about the fishing method of the above-ground races, where as long as a sunken pot was placed next to a school of fish, the fish would jump up on their own. It"s a pity that it was not easy to climb the abyss. She didn"t bring too many things, and she didn"t have a basin in her hand. She could only find a rock with a slight curvature and move it to the edge of the stream, but she didn"t catch a single fish. Without the tools at hand, the tree pepper powder is not finely ground, but it can be regarded as a seasoning. Just as Lucia sprinkled them evenly over the snake meat, she heard rustling movements from the bottomless hole. The goblins returned, the warm orange of gratitude and the gold of joy blooming on them. They bowed to Lucia, said words of gratitude to her, and the goblin fell to her knees and bowed her head to her. Since the end of the world, they have not received such generosity and favor for a long time.   These goblins were treated like slaves and had not eaten meat for a long time. Compared with other races, they occasionally burrow into the dark underground in the dead of night, looking for insects they can eat and supplement themselves with some nutrition - of course, it can be seen from their body size that those insects are hungry all the year round. They are of no use. What "s more, this kind of thing can"t be done too much, so as not to be severely punished after being discovered. The lord of Mershburg once said that everything in the domain is the property of the lord, including the underground bugs that no one can catch except the goblins. The goblins picked up the fragrant roast and took a bite. The slightly spicy and tender taste filled the mouth, and the uncontrollable tears blurred the eyes. But they didn"t have the heart to cry, they just wanted to cherish the feast for the first time in years. Lucia looked at them. The warm colors on them merged together and became a very beautiful color. Lucia likes this color very much, like the sun is rising. The sun can"t be seen in the abyss, and when she feeds the skeleton dragon, she won"t see this color from its body. The dragon would only try to fly away from her. she asked: " where is mershburg? "   " Go all the way to the north, my lord. " Jill, who was closest to her, hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of roast meat and answered first. After all the words were said, he realized that something was wrong, and hesitantly asked: " Do you want to..." Lucia replied: " I want to go to Mershburg and see. " It has been seven days since she came to the ground, and she has not yet encountered a gathering place of the above-ground races. Lucia is very interested in the civilization on the ground, and even the ruined colony can satisfy her curiosity.   " Murshburg is horrible! " said Tim"s boy. He was very young, with no clothes on, his swollen belly hung down on his skinny body, and his voice was thin: " There is no food, only whips, and everyone is unhappy. The evil lord has attracted God"s revenge, He"s dead, he"s killed my dad, he"s killed everyone"   " Shut up! " Tim gave a low drink and covered the little goblin"s mouth with his hand. There was fear on her face, and Lucia saw the radiance on them visibly dim for a moment. The lord they speak of is dead. What is this fear of? She watched the goblins without questioning. Jill on the other side was silent for a moment and put down the snake meat in his hand.   " my lord, " gill said, " if you want to go to mershburg, please allow me to lead the way he finished speaking, someone among the goblins let out a clear inhalation sound. They looked at Jill as if he were a lunatic. That place has been destroyed, leaving nothing but ruins, not to mention that any survivors who managed to escape would not be willing to go back and bet on whether the tide of monsters has left. Jill was also frightened by this. He raised his eyes and met the gentleman"s pale golden eyes. The beating heart in his chest gradually calmed down.   " My brother, got separated from me in the beast swarm. I want to go back and see if he is still... still there. " fire crackled, and the wind roared in the deep forest. The small square inch of land, sheltered by the tree canopy, was quiet, not even the sound of goblins gobbling down. Fallen monsters are irrational, bloodthirsty and warlike, so they only know how to destroy everything they encounter along the way.   For a goblin, death beyond dust is more terrifying than anything in the world. Since the moment of separation, Jill no longer holds out the hope of reuniting with his younger brother alive. He just wanted to find the little goblin in the ruins and let him rest in peace. Jill "s voice fell, and after the shock, the goblins suddenly realized something - they had nowhere to go, and the front was full of fog and danger. a moment of silence, Tim said: " My lord, I used to work in the lord"s kitchen, and I am very familiar with the castle. Maybe there are cellars that have not been destroyed by monsters - please allow me to go with you and explore those deep places for you. Hidden in a dark place underground. " Another gust of wind blew, and the chirping of birds came from nowhere. Lucia looked at the silent goblins. was also a beautiful color, a sad and quiet dark blue. She loves these colors, regardless of the meaning behind them.   " I see, " Lucia "s brows softened and she said gently: " After this meal, let"s go. "
