Mercenaries and Adventurers

The little goblin did the prank that Kil wanted, and he barely managed to say the words of praise that he should say. At this moment, Kil folded his arms and looked at the little goblin with a groan.

"According to the agreement just now, do you have to fulfill some of my 'little' requests?"

Keir smiled evilly, and walked around in a circle proudly, and then pretended to be praying: "Oh, I accidentally got trapped here, but I don't know when the outside of the dream will be opened." What to do with the extinguished evil flame?”

He looked troubled.

The little goblin strode out, patted his chest and looked like he was taking care of everything: "Ah, chi chi chi bo bo, brag, brag, brag."

It seemed that he was making a promise to Kiel that his difficulties would disappear.

"That's awesome. Then, I'll sit here and watch your performance. Please!"

Kil sat down on the umbrella cover of the fat-headed mushroom, crossed his legs and raised his hand to indicate to the little goblin that he could start.

The little goblin turned up her nose in an awkward manner, spun around in exaggerated movements, and disappeared with a pop.

Kil blinked. Isn't it easy for this little thing to enter and exit dreams? Why does it always stay in this silent place? Oh, it was requested by Ms. Apolifina.

Only then did Kiel remember that the lady had asked this little goblin to assist Keel here before, but the relationship between the two had not been very good before. Keel hated that the goblin always caused mischief and interfered with him, while the goblin always made trouble. It was a prank that got worse every time Gil showed his disgust.

It was like this at first, but as time passed and the goblin helped Kil get out of trouble many times, Kil changed his mind.

He thought it was the boring environment here that forced him to have some fun every time Kiel came in. If this was the case, then Kiel would be able to accept it.

Especially after spending the past few days together in the dreamland, Kil himself felt bored. At this time, the little goblin's prank attack no longer made Kil feel irritated, but he could also make Kil laugh every time. laughing out loud.

But at this moment, seeing this little thing leave the lady's dream in an instant, Kil was still surprised.

"I didn't expect that these goblins abide by the contract very much even though it looks like a joke."

Kil muttered, but as soon as he finished muttering, the little goblin appeared again, but now it screamed as soon as it appeared, with evil green flames all over its body.

What! Demonic flame?

Kil was shocked and wanted to find water immediately to put out the flames on the little goblin, but as he carefully looked at the little goblin, he realized that although the goblin was on fire all over, the vicious flames did not originate from it. Instead of burning its body, its clothes and pants were on fire.

It's not even the clothes and pants themselves, it's the matching pockets that are bursting with flames.

But the little goblin looked very anxious, waving his little hands and constantly slapping the large amount of flames coming out of his pocket.

These powerful evil flames, which had been warned by the big bird god before, were immediately extinguished by the little goblin with a wave of his hand.

But it still didn't work. I didn't know what was in its pockets, and it kept spitting fire out.

This made the little goblin yell, as if he had lost his treasure.

At this time, the mushroom boys who had been watching the fun and dancing around them were in chaos when faced with the sudden appearance of the demonic flames. They fled in all directions, panicking and many of them pushed each other and fell into the pond in the center of the camp. , melted and disappeared on the spot.

Others stumbled away into the surrounding dark forest, shrunk their heads, and hid themselves under the roots of tall trees, as if they were just ordinary mushrooms and didn't know anything.

There were even some small mushroom boys who hid directly behind Kil, letting Kil, the 'tall' mushroom, block the front.

"Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Kil wanted to go up and help, but he was afraid that he would be burned to death as soon as he came into contact with the demonic flames.

So he was very helpless.

But fortunately, the little goblin put his little hand into his pocket, and after tinkering with it for a while, the pocket no longer sprayed demonic flames out. It seems that the legendary powerful demonic flames cannot do anything to this seemingly small goblin.

After finishing the pockets, the little elf stuffed his hands into the pockets of his bloomers. After tinkering for a while, he sat down on the elf silver plate on the ground, looking like he had suffered a big loss.

"As long as everything is fine, it will be fine. If everything is fine, it will be fine."

Kil hurried over to comfort him. He stretched out a finger to rub the little fairy's hair, but before Kil could rub it, the little fairy used his little hand in horror as if someone had pricked him with a needle. He held the top of his head to prevent his hat from knocking over with his fingers, and rubbed the sparse hair under the hat.

That's right, although he is always called a little goblin, in fact, the goblin who keeps company with Kil has a long gray goatee, and the hair on his head is not very lush, and he looks a bit middle-aged and old. The look of a retired goblin.

Therefore, it pays great attention to its hat and does not let it fall off at any time.

"Ah!" After being glared at by the little goblin, Kil smiled awkwardly: "Aren't I worried that you will be injured? Seeing that you are so lively, you should be fine. So, is there still a demonic flame outside?"

The little goblin stared at Kil for a while, then nodded, and then shook his head.

"What do you mean? He nodded and shook his head."

The little goblin made gestures and yelled, and finally, after a lot of effort, he made Kil understand what was going on outside the dreamland.

"The large area of ​​demonic flames that ignited the forest has been extinguished, but there are still three large groups of flames that remain stubborn, right? And the exit of the dream is the space where I came in, near the two large groups of demonic flames? That's right, right? ?”

This time, the little elf nodded and acknowledged what Kil said.

This made Kil suddenly understand that the three demonic flames that remained were obviously three humans burned here, and the human souls provided more lasting fuel for the flames here.

He understood that two of them must be the hunter brothers who were confronting Keir at that time, but what about the other one?

Was it the robber who was present and tried to escape? But aren't those two people? Where is the remaining one?

Unable to think of anything, Kil regretfully lay on the ground, preparing to have a good sleep. There is no way to go out at this time, and we can only wait for the demonic flames outside the dream to naturally extinguish.

Go to sleep, stay here for one more day, and visit again tomorrow.

-

Another day passed in the dream forest, and this time Kil begged the goblin who was making furniture in his small house.

"Please, help me go out and have a look, how about it? I can't touch even the slightest bit of devil flame. If I touch it, I will die. You won't be hurt at all. Please, help me?"

Kil squatted outside the goblin's house and was begging for mercy to the goblin who was changing the appearance of the furniture inside the house through the small window on the house.

The little goblin was so annoyed that he finally flew out of his little house and landed on the roof of the house.

It stretched out its hand a little bit around, and a mushroom boy danced and flew into the air. Then the little fairy blew a whistle, and its mount, the big snail shell, quickly rose from around the house, and flew into the air. Under the feet, let Mushroom Boy's little mycelium feet stand on them.

Then the little goblin let out a strange cry and stretched out his hands towards Mushroom Boy who was standing on the snail shell next to him. With a bang, Mushroom Boy and the snail shell disappeared in an instant.

"This? Are you going out now?"

Kil didn't expect that the goblin could not only easily enter and exit the dream, but also make other things enter and exit the dream.

boom!

There was another noise, and Mushroom Boy and Snail Shell, who had just disappeared, reappeared in the same place.

But after they went out and came back, they were obviously different. There was nothing wrong with the snail shell, but the mushroom boy on the snail shell was now covered with green demonic flames. He quickly and ruthlessly burned the entire mushroom boy. Burned to ashes.

But that's all. Since the little goblin raised the Mushroom Boy and the snail shell into the air, the devil's flames contaminated after entering and exiting once can't burn anything after entering the dream. Those green evil flames can only burn It transformed into the shape of a small head in mid-air, roared silently, and then disappeared after leaving only a wave of heat.

After burning a mushroom boy to death, the little goblin showed no expression. The other mushroom boys around the ground were frightened and fled in panic again. This time, there were still a few stupid guys who didn't choose their way and fell in. The pond of memory in the center of the camp melted and disappeared.

But in this silent and dark forest, there is only enough light and sound around the pond. Those mushroom boys who escaped will eventually return to the camp.

There is no need to feel sorry for the Mushroom Boy who died just now. These days, Kil has built many precious metal boxes made of elven silver plates. He has transferred many things in the camp to these precious metal boxes that will not change for countless years. , the wooden boxes he had previously packed in were piled randomly in the corner of the camp.

In the past two days, those useless wooden boxes have become a paradise for mushroom boys. They eat a lot there. When some grow to the maximum size allowed by their own mushroom species, they will take root on a wooden board. Shaking the umbrella cover above his head, tiny mushroom spores that could be seen with the naked eye fell on the wooden board.

Then new mushrooms grew.

Of course, the mushrooms that grew later were no longer mushroom boys with arms and legs, they were just honest poisonous mushrooms.

"Are there still demonic flames? Hey, when I entered the dreamland, I wish I could have been farther away."

There was no other way, so Kil had no choice but to shake his head and find another place to sleep.

-

Another day later, Kil begged the little goblin again, and the process was the same as yesterday. This time, the mushroom boy who went out and came back turned into a green flame again as expected.

This time, Kil looked at the gradually flattening grain bags and the water storage tank that was about to bottom out, showing a troubled expression.

Safe food and drinking water are about to run out. What will happen next?

You can't eat those mushroom boys who are poisonous mushrooms, right? Or drink half a barrel of ale contaminated by a few poisonous mushroom boys?

Keir was at a loss.

-

Another day passed, just like before, another mushroom boy came back and was burned to ashes by the demonic flames.

This made Kil feel extremely regretful. He clutched his growling stomach and had to reduce his daily food consumption to half of the original amount. He didn't eat much before, and if he cut it in half, it would be even less.

And this is still a dangerous place, and drinking water is an even bigger problem.

There was not a drop of water left in the earthenware pitcher, and Keir didn't want to drink the urine in the extremely arrogant urine jar. He had no choice but to focus on most of the barrel of ale that was contaminated by the poisonous mushroom boy.

"I'll die if I die. I don't believe that a few poisonous mushroom boys can poison me after bathing in ale!"

With a fierce expression, Kilgan pursed his lips that were chapped due to lack of water, and took a big spoonful of contaminated ale with a determined look in his eyes that looked like he was about to die.

He sniffed it first, and it still smelled like the original ale, with at least some mushroom flavor added to it.

It seems like there is no problem.

Kil lightly dipped his tongue into the ale.

"Huh?"

Keir raised his eyebrows, this feeling?

He took a small sip and sucked a little into his mouth. This time, the feeling was even stronger. A strange feeling came from his tongue. It was an overly delicious feeling. The tongue, the tongue was almost dancing.

After swallowing the drink down his throat, Kil felt even more amazing. This delicious feeling flowed very clearly from his throat all the way down his esophagus into his stomach, and gave his stomach a powerful tingling sensation.

"Uh, uh..."

Keir felt like vomiting, not because this suspicious drink was poisonous - it might be poisonous but it certainly wouldn't have an effect as soon as it was put into his mouth - but because his stomach couldn't stand the stimulation brought by this drink. He stopped convulsing repeatedly, trying to get this strange drink out of his territory.

But Keir gritted his teeth and refused to let the little drink he had just drank go to waste.

After a while, Kil finally calmed down.

The little goblin laughed loudly as he watched, holding his belly and falling to the ground with laughter.

Seeing its appearance, Keir smiled evilly, scooped some out with a big spoon and gave it to it: "Here, try it?"

The little goblin was not stupid, and he didn’t need to eat, so he refused repeatedly.

But Kil said in a strange tone: "But this thing tastes very good? Are you sure you don't want to try it?"

The little elf suspiciously approached a wooden spoon half the size of itself, took a little of it with his hand and put it into his mouth.

Kil looked at it with burning eyes to see how it would react.

But the little goblin just drank and wiped his mouth without any reaction at all. He still had a strange expression on his face, as if saying, 'That's it? That's it? ’ look.

Seeing that it was fine, Kil took another sip of the strange-tasting ale, but he could feel a strong umami taste and a unique feeling from his tongue, mouth, esophagus and stomach.

"Hey——, are only humans feeling this way?"

Keir fed some more ale to the mushroom boy passing by, and poured the strange ale on the mycelium of the mushroom boy's feet. After a while, the little guy started to stagger as if he was drunk.

But it doesn’t have the strong stimulating feeling that Keel has when he drinks it.

"Come on, HiSilicon's problem is on my kidneys. Huh? Tulurululu~"

Keir felt something was wrong. His mouth was numb and his tongue was aroused.

At the same time, the number of goblins in front of him also blurred from one to three, which made Keir's eyes widen.

"Do you have such great skills?"

But when he looked to the side, the number of sneaky mushroom boys around him inexplicably increased.

"Oil, oil evil cloth hamstring..."

Not only did Keir see that there were more mushrooms and goblins around him, but even the trunks of the big trees in the surrounding forest were spreading all over his eyes unconsciously.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be poisoned. Hey, there were a few poisonous mushrooms soaked in that ale, and there was indeed something wrong with drinking it!

Keir stood there for a long time, and then he thought of treatment.

The healing thing in the dream was not far away every time he entered here. The little goblin spent some effort to create a small mushroom field with healing power.

As long as he gets there and lies on it, those mushrooms should be able to cure his poisoning abnormality at this time.

But as soon as Kil took a step forward, he felt like he had fallen into the ocean. There was cold water everywhere around him, which forced Kil to swim hard to reach the entrance of the dreamland.

-

The goblins and mushroom boys all looked at the only human here doing strange things.

Kil was lying on the ground, struggling to 'paddle and kick' on the Elf Silver Board.

While he was 'swimming', he also lifted his head and face up and took a big breath.

The little goblin looked at Kil in confusion for a while, then imitated Kil's movements and swam in the air on his own snail shell.

The mushroom boys saw that their goblin boss was imitating human movements, and they all came out from the surrounding corners, followed him to lie on the ground, and learned to swim on dry land.

The mushrooms were swinging their little mycelial hands and little mycelial feet, rolling around on the ground.

"Hehe, haha."

The little elf thinks this is very interesting and fun.

-

By the time Kil realized that he was not in the water, but on the ground, he didn't know how much time had passed.

He was stunned on the ground. He looked around and found that many mushroom boys had come out of their hiding places and were swimming on the ground. Next to Kiel, the little elf was lying on the snail shell, paddling back and forth in the void.

Realizing that he had done something scandalous, Kil quietly tried to stand up secretly, but when he tried, he felt that he had no strength and could not stand firmly.

He had no choice but to lie down on the ground and crawl toward the entrance of the dream using his hands and feet.

This also has the advantage of not having to worry about falling down like those panicked mushroom boys, falling into the pond and melting away.

When Kil lay on a fluorescent mushroom carpet with mysterious patterns on the umbrella cover for a long time, all the discomfort disappeared.

"Hoo, ho, this thing."

Keir gritted his teeth and finally complained angrily: "Next time, I'd better just lie here and drink, so as not to make a fool of myself."
