Chapter 129 The Little Goblin Who Picked Up the Loss
In fact, Shu Li really wanted to tell the fairy teachers that there was a reason why he was diligent and studious.
As a time traveler, you have just arrived in a different world where you are unfamiliar with the place and can't even speak the language. In order to survive, understand the new world, and integrate into the new group, don't you have to study hard?
Unfortunately, he had no talent for languages, and learning was extremely difficult. He could only struggle to catch up with the other little goblins.
When the other goblins saw how hard he was working, they also worked hard.
The result was that this group of little elves started a learning craze that has continued to this day, and has also influenced the next group of eight little cubs.
Of course, Shu Li couldn't tell the fairy teacher the truth, so she could only swallow her bitterness and continue to roll with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, except for the academic subjects which were a little tiring, his grades in magic, swordsmanship, archery, physical skills and fighting were all among the best.
Among them, the magic level increases the fastest.
This is thanks to the guidance of the Elf King and the blessing of the little flower crown.
Although awakening the seven elements of magic makes one a genius among geniuses, without the guidance of a famous teacher, one will only become a waste.
He was lucky to be born into a resource-rich fairy tribe, and was accepted as a disciple by the Elf King, who also mastered the seven types of magic, and received a unique elite education.
The small flower crown is a symbol of the Elf King's blessing, which is equivalent to a plug-in that makes learning magic more efficient.
However, in the first few years after his birth, he did not feel the external function of the small corolla at all.
He still can't speak when he should, and he still can't remember the spell when he should.
It was not until he learned silent magic that the effect of the small flower crown was finally gradually revealed. It was even more prominent in recent years. Unknowingly, his magic level jumped like a rocket from a senior magician to a senior mage.
The level gap between them is very exaggerated. You know, the 25-year-old Jingjing, a top student, was only promoted to an intermediate magician this year.
Shu Li finally experienced the benefits of being the protagonist of a time-travel novel. At the current upgrade rate, he felt that he would be able to become a magic saint in less than a hundred years.
The road to bravery is just around the corner.
As for the fairies and elves, they had nothing but praise for his incredible upgrade speed, and not one of them questioned it.
Perhaps the fairies and elves are too gifted. For tens of thousands of years, geniuses have emerged one after another. In addition, he is personally guided by the Elf King, so his achievements seem ordinary compared to other geniuses.
That's good.
You don't have to be treated as an alien.
Once again, thanks to the great god of time travel, who allowed him to be born into the fairy tribe.
Today, he and three of his friends went out to do a mission and collect herbs and minerals. They unknowingly approached the edge of the forest and encountered this group of reckless adventurers.
There were ten adventurers in this group, eight humans, one orc, and one dwarf.
Among the eight humans, there are three swordsmen, four magicians and one pharmacist.
This is a team of adventurers with quite strong combat capabilities. They may often carry out missions. They have clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.
If they ventured into other places, they might be successful, but when they entered the Fairy Forest, they encountered obstacles everywhere.
The mist that permeated the forest's edge stirred the fears and desires deep within them. Minor conflicts and frictions between teammates were magnified, leading to resentment, accusations, and insults. Eventually, conflicts escalated into a fight, with each team viewing the other as an enemy and engaging in a life-or-death struggle.
Such bloody scenes are commonplace for goblins. If you encounter one, it is best to stay away from it.
Shu Li has been dating Mr. Orochi for a long time and has fallen in love with the job of picking up bargains.
"Is it almost over?" Budno rubbed his hands with a look of anticipation.
"There is still a magician and a pharmacist who are alive." Discio frowned.
"They are less affected by the fog." Angel raised his finger. "Perhaps they are not bad people and can leave the forest alive."
Budno sighed regretfully: "If they don't die, how can we take advantage of the situation?"
Shu Li said, "Don't worry."
Mr. Orochi is a monster, and his methods are always simple and brutal. The prey he targets never survives the next day.
Therefore, adventurers who appear in Mr. Orochi's territory can only consider themselves unlucky.
Fairies have a very high moral bottom line and will not kill people on their own initiative. Any adventurer who is not dead will be knocked unconscious.
The fight under the tree finally drew to a close, and the pharmacist, the weakest fighter, luckily survived. He was badly wounded and bleeding profusely. If left alone, he would have bled to death over time.
Shu Li didn't want to wait any longer, so he decided to end the battle quickly.
He stretched out his hand towards the pharmacist under the tree and chanted a short dark magic spell.
Stun, instantly put the target into a coma.
The pharmacist fell headfirst onto the grass.
The advantage of becoming a magician is that you don't have to recite a long spell to cast low-level magic.
"Let's go down and pick up things." Shu Li waved his hand and flew down from the branch first.
The three little friends flew down excitedly.
Soon, four young goblins appeared above the adventurer's corpse. The smell of blood was pungent, and they fanned their hands in disgust.
"Hurry up, the patrolling elves will be here soon." Shu Li reminded.
This place is too close to the edge of the forest. If they are discovered by the patrolling elves, they will be in trouble.
"Okay~!" Disio skillfully took off the adventurers' storage devices.
Angel and Budno were also busy, quickly taking off their valuable equipment.
"Do you want to take the things from this pharmacist?" Angel asked Shu Li.
Shu Li examined the pharmacist's young face and shook his head: "Forget it, let him go!"
The pharmacist looked very young, without the hostility and bloodiness of other adventurers. He probably just joined the team not long ago and was a newbie.
The reason he was injured was simply because he was too scared to run away, and was caught in the fight between his companions, and unfortunately got hit by several swords.
According to Aisha, pharmacist is a very popular profession on the mainland and has strong auxiliary capabilities. Generally, adventure teams and mercenary groups like to bring one or two pharmacists to help improve the combat capabilities of their members.
After picking up the loose ends, Shu Li took out his magic wand, pointed it at the nine corpses and one living person on the ground, and cast an advanced wind magic.
After the spell ended, the magic wand was waved, and a tornado instantly appeared in the air, accurately sweeping up the adventurers and quickly sending them out of the forest.
Budno cast a water spell to wash away the bloodstains on the grass.
"Hurry up, I hear the sound of unicorn wings flapping." Angel whispered.
The four goblins moved in unison and flew northwest. Shu Li fell behind them to clean up the mess, casting several wind magic spells to erase their scent.
When the unicorn landed on the grass with the patrolling elves, it looked at the cleaned grass and smiled helplessly.
These teenage goblins are becoming more and more daring. Do they think that if they erase their traces, he won't be able to catch up with them?
The patrolling elf patted the unicorn's neck and let it fly in the direction the young fairy had left.
Once we catch them, we'll give them a good beating and see if they dare to approach the edge of the forest again.
Shu Li and his friends hurriedly shuttled through the dense forest.
Of course they knew they couldn't hide from the patrolling elves. Although they didn't intentionally approach the edge of the forest today, they still made a small mistake and were bound to be beaten.
In order to save their own butts, they tried their best to escape the tracking range of the patrolling elves.
Shu Li had already thought of the route and flew towards Lake Bogaman in the northwest direction.
"Who is the patrol elf today?" Angel asked while taking the opportunity.
"It's Dagmon!" Shu Li said. He spent half his time each year studying in the Elven Kingdom, and after ten years, he knew every elf by name.
"Wow! Let's fly!" Budno covered his butt.
Dagmon is known for his strictness. If you get caught by him, your butt will be beaten to a pulp!
"Stop covering your butt and fly." Dizio pulled him.
Shu Li gripped the magic wand tightly and cast a light-based acceleration magic on everyone.
In an instant, they were enveloped in a ball of light, as fast as lightning.
Half an hour later, the four young fairies arrived safely at Lake Bogaman.
Seeing the mirror-like calm lake, they were not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery for the time being. They took out the water-repellent magic beads given by the Mermaid King, put them on their bodies, and with a few "splash, splash" sounds, they jumped into the water in a standard posture.
The water splash is quite well suppressed.
After entering the water, the four young goblins dived as they knew how to do. When they reached the bottom of the lake, more than 400 meters deep, they saw a huge monster.
The huge creature was dozing on a huge rock at the bottom of the lake. Suddenly, it sensed a familiar breath and raised its three huge heads.
When the giant saw four small bubbles swimming towards it, it had an urge to escape.
Why are those little goblins here again?
Seeing his "old friend", Shu Li waved enthusiastically and called out, "Hi, Niledi, we're here to play with you!"
The benefit of learning magic is that it allows the monsters at the bottom of the lake to hear his voice.
Niledi narrowed his six eyes.
Now it wants to shiver when it sees the little goblin.
To ask is to regret.
Very, very sorry.
If it had known this earlier, it would not have coveted those red crystal flower seeds. God knew that the treasure chest it picked up casually in the sea would actually contain curse magic.
As luck would have it, Sperian, the most famous of the goblins, fell victim to the attack.
For this, it was not only beaten by several adult goblins, but also severely warned by the patrolling elves.
If it wants to continue living in Lake Pogaman in the Fairy Forest, it's better to behave itself and stay as far away from the fairies as possible when it sees them.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
It doesn't want to get involved with the goblins, but the goblins frequently disturb its peace.
From time to time, some goblins who had accepted mining missions came to Lake Bogaman, collected minerals with a "bang bang" sound, making a harsh noise, deliberately luring it out of the water, and then watched it mercilessly.
"Wow, it really has three heads!"
"Every head is so ugly!"
"It speaks a crude Dwarven tongue."
"Sperian said it has a bad temper. We need to keep a safe distance from it."
Every time the goblins spoke, a vein popped out on Niledi's forehead.
In the past, it would have been rude to the goblins.
However, when facing the goblins, it can only endure and even pretend to be friendly and help the goblins collect minerals from the bottom of the lake.
Over time, the goblins felt that they had become "good friends" with it.
Oh, fuck my good friend!
After a while, no matter how loud the mining noise was, Niledi no longer encountered the goblin.
I never expected that these little fairies all had the mermaid's magic water-repellent beads.
It did not surface, but they themselves boldly dived to the bottom of the lake and happily came to the door.
Tears of regret flowed from Niledi's six eyes.
To avoid these annoying little goblins, it hadn't returned to Lake Bogaman for half a month. It swam into the Danaga Sea through the underwater passage, fought a fierce battle with the sea monsters, snatched a lot of treasures, and returned to the bottom of the lake to recuperate.
After only two days of rest, I saw four little goblins again.
The leader was still Sperian, the one who caused it trouble!
Niledi has a bad temper by nature and will kill everyone if he is not satisfied. As a monster at the top of the food chain in the lake, he is very majestic, but since dealing with the goblins, his temper has almost been smoothed out.
"There's nothing fun for me to do with you!" The three heads lay back on the boulder listlessly, ignoring the four little goblins.
In order to avoid Daigmon, Shu Li would not easily leave the bottom of the lake.
He swam to one of Niledi's heads and said, "Niledi, take us to your treasure house! We want to trade some things with you."
There is a big cave at the bottom of the lake, which is filled with things that Niledi picked up from the sea. Most of them were things that he didn't like and threw there casually. Over time, the cave was filled with treasures.
After Shu Li visited the treasure house, he became obsessed with it.
There are many strange and unique things in the treasure house. If you like them, you can exchange your own things with Niledi.
So, the goblins treated the treasure house as a "supermarket" and often came here to shop.
Niledi wagged his tail. "Go on your own and don't bother me!"
The rude dwarven language can always express its irritable mood well.
Shu Li and the other guys had long been accustomed to its impatient attitude. They greeted it politely and swam happily towards the cave at the bottom of the lake.
"The three-headed monster is still so bad-tempered!" said Budno.
"Maybe it's too lonely." Angel said sympathetically, "It's the only high-level monster at the bottom of the lake."
"No, I think it's entering old age and isn't very active anymore," Dizio said seriously. "Elsa said that higher-level Warcraft don't necessarily mean longer lifespans. Some Warcraft are limited by their species, and even at level nine they can only live for a thousand years."
"In this case, the three-headed monster is so pitiful." Budno said with sympathy.
Shu Li looked back at the three-headed water monster lying motionless on the boulder and said with emotion, "It seems that not all races have eternal lifespans like fairies and elves."
"Of course, we are the sons of light created by the God of Light." Disio said proudly.
The four young goblins chatted as they swam and soon found the entrance to the cave.
Niledi, who was lying on the boulder and heard their conversation clearly, almost went berserk.
Who enters old age?
Who is going to die?
It is alive and well and can live another 10,000 years!
When do these little goblins come of age?
Go to the mainland to gain experience quickly, and it would be best if you don’t come back for three hundred years!
On the shore of Lake Bogaman, the unicorn lowered its head gracefully to drink water. Dagmon stood beside it, with a stern and handsome face, staring expressionlessly at the shimmering lake.
Do these little goblins think they can avoid punishment by hiding in the lake?
How naive.
He has plenty of time and can stay here all day.
However, since the goblins' levels have increased, they have become increasingly difficult to catch.
Especially Sperien, who has the highest level and is a disciple taught by the king himself. He is a master of magic. When he escapes, he uses light magic to double his speed.
After all, Dagmon is a mage-level elf, so it is easy for him to chase a few little guys. However, he is unwilling to suppress them with his level, so he uses the level of a magician to race with the goblins.
He and the goblin arrived at Lake Bogaman almost at the same time. He arrived just a few minutes after the goblin jumped into the lake.
Why not use magic to catch them one by one?
The grumpy three-headed monster at the bottom of the lake is not to be trifled with.
It may tolerate little goblins disturbing it every day, but it will never allow adult goblins or elves to provoke it.
It’s not that he can’t beat it, but the battle between a high-level magical beast and a wizard-level elf will cause rivers and seas to turn upside down, mountains to collapse, and the forest to be destroyed, which is not worth the loss.
Dagmon took out a brush and prepared to wash the unicorn.
Suddenly, he looked up to the east and frowned.
The information in the wind told him that a powerful human was approaching the Fairy Forest.
Dagmon put away his brush, jumped onto the unicorn's back, and ordered, "Go!"
The unicorn understood, flapped its broad wings, and suddenly rushed into the sky, flying towards the eastern part of the forest.
The four young goblins who were selecting items from the three-headed monster's treasure house had no idea that they had escaped a disaster and saved their delicate buttocks.
Shu Li was dazzled by the mountains of treasures.
The cave is as big as half a football field and is filled with all kinds of strange things. Some of them are very old and have been soaked in lake water for so long that their surfaces have been corroded.
The four young fairies were like hardworking little bees, busy selecting carefully.
"These are human porcelain, right?" Angel asked, pointing to an exquisitely crafted plate.
Shu Li came over, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "This plate looks very new, I haven't seen it before."
Dixio crossed his arms and said, "The three-headed monster must have picked it up from the sea recently."
Budno said uninterestedly, "This plate isn't as beautiful as the ones the elves made."
Shu Li turned the plate over through the bubbles and saw the seal on the bottom.
[Serex Empire, Saphi City]
This is the origin of the porcelain plate.
The Serex Empire - one of the great empires of Austin, it is rich in resources, has a pleasant climate, and its people live and work in peace and contentment. It is also rich in tea, porcelain, and silk.
When Shu Li heard Xit introduce this country, he almost thought it was the oriental power in his original world.
When I learned that the people there also had Western faces, my excitement instantly faded.
Because the Serex Empire was separated from other countries by grasslands, mountains, swamps, and canyons, the roads were dangerous and difficult to travel, so goods were generally transported by sea.
Although sea transportation is convenient, it also carries considerable risks. Once you get into trouble, there is basically no chance of survival.
The goods naturally sank to the bottom of the sea and were fought over by the monsters in the sea.
The appearance of this porcelain plate here indicates that a ship from the Serex Empire encountered a shipwreck.
Shu Li observed a moment of silence for the humans who died on the ship.
"Sperian, come and see what's inside this?" Budno's voice sounded in his ears.
Shu Li came back to her senses and looked at what he was pointing at - the treasure chest.
He quickly took a step back, his eyes fixed on the treasure chest, and told the other goblins not to get close.
"Don't move! Be careful of the curse!"
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Now he gets PTSD whenever he sees a treasure chest.
The three friends retreated to his side and said nervously, "This treasure chest is huge."
It's big enough to fit a grown human.
"There's a magic circle painted on the lid of the treasure chest!" Angel exclaimed, "This is a magician's item!"
"There is indeed a problem." Discio frowned.
"Should we get it out? Find a powerful adult goblin to remove the seal on the treasure chest." asked Budno.
Shu Li walked around the treasure chest and said in a deep voice, "There's something strange inside the treasure chest. We can't leave it here."
The treasure chest was brand new and obviously came from the same place as the porcelain plate.
"Then let's take it out quickly and exchange it for the three-headed monster!" Budno was very curious.
Shu Li carefully put the treasure chest into the storage ring and left the cave at the bottom of the lake with his friends.
At the edge of the Fairy Forest, a magician in a high-end robe stood quietly with his hands behind his back and his eyes slightly closed.
The low-level monsters felt the terrifying pressure, their hair stood on end, and they fled in horror.
The high-level monsters were facing a formidable enemy, lurking in the dark, full of vigilance.
The magician has a wide range of perception and can clearly see what is happening within a hundred meters.
He knew very well how powerful the fog in the Fairy Forest was and did not dare to enter rashly. After all, without the permission of the forest owner, any outsider was an intruder.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, he sensed that a stronger person than him was approaching quickly.
The magician slowly lifted his eyelids, revealing a pair of blue eyes full of wisdom.
Dagmon rode on a unicorn, hovering above the forest, and looked at this uninvited human from a distance of a hundred meters.
It’s the Dharma Saint!
There are only a handful of human magic saints, most of whom are stationed in the magic tower in the atrium. Unless for special reasons, they usually do not travel far.
This mage standing outside the fairy forest seems familiar.
Daigmon tapped the unicorn, causing it to descend.
Although elves do not interact with humans, they still communicate with high-level white mages.
A snow-white unicorn descended from the sky and landed lightly on the grass. The elf with silver hair and golden eyes gracefully jumped off the unicorn's back and looked indifferently at the human mage with brown hair and blue eyes.
The magician smiled charmingly when he saw him. "Dear Dagmon, long time no see. You are still as young and handsome as ever."
Dagmon frowned, looked him up and down, and after a long pause, he replied slowly, "Danlov, we didn't send you an invitation."
"Yes, I don't have an invitation." Danlov said good-naturedly, "But as the Elf King's eldest disciple, I can come to visit without an invitation."
Dagmon knew that he was telling the truth, so after the greetings, he did not drive him away. Instead, he used the magic of telepathy to remotely report the news of Danlov's visit to the Elf King.
After receiving the Elf King's permission, Dagmon bowed slightly to Danlov, and, changing his previous cold attitude, said, "The King invites you to visit the Crystal Castle."
"Thank you." Danlov returned the greeting.
Dagmon blew a whistle, calling another unicorn, which carried the human mage and flew over the Fairy Forest to the Elf Kingdom.
At Lake Bogaman, Shu Li and his three friends successfully exchanged a treasure chest from the three-headed water monster, quietly surfaced, released their perception, and did not find any patrolling elves, so they emerged from the water in surprise.
"Dagmon is not here, let's go back to the sacred tree!" Shu Li urged.
The four young fairies left the lake "whoosh whoosh", the bubbles of the water-avoiding magic beads disappeared, they spread the wings behind them, and fled to the sacred tree in a hurry.
