"It has been four days since the competition started, and Lu Yu is still hiding in the house. It seems that he is determined to hide until the competition is over."
A red-haired nobleman threw his hat to the ground angrily and cursed.
"They pretended to be like each other. They packed a whole truckload of potions, but they turned out to be a turtle. Unlucky!"
"That guy Andrew actually came all the way from the Knights' station to visit him?"
"The Turners have always been scoundrels. Did you just find out today?"
The person who said this was completely unaware that he was actually a bastard under the control of Earl Nott's family.
Someone started, and the nobles headed by Maroni Nott gathered around the bonfire. They cursed Lu Yu and vented their dissatisfaction accumulated over the past few days.
Hunting goblins is really not something humans do.
Although the elders in the family told them before they came that fighting goblins was not an easy task, most of them did not take it seriously.
The nobles living in the rear have been pampered for too long and have no basic understanding of the combat power of monsters.
They thought that the trip to the east was just a different kind of winter hunting where they took heads everywhere under the protection of family guards. Killing goblins is just a matter of hunting in the forest. You only need to bend the bow and set an arrow. When the arrow comes off the string, you can listen to the buzzing sound of the bowstring and watch the prey fall.
What are goblins?
Ugly, short, with low IQ, he can kill even a wild wolf alone.
How can a noble who has received a good education since childhood and is proficient in martial arts and magic not be able to defeat goblins?
The fact is that in the dark underground palace, they need to move forward carefully holding the magic crystal for lighting.
If they are not careful, the cold arrows shot from the darkness will pierce their defenseless backs.
If not carefully searched, a single floor tile may trigger a fatal mechanism.
Even if they all noticed, facing the Goblin army using human sea tactics, they could not provide effective support to their partners in front in the narrow corridor.
Most of the crossbows fired in desperation are not accurate. They are not adapted to the dark environment. If the light changes slightly, they will transform into carbine monsters.
Because of the complexity of the underground palace, some goblins that circle back can appear at very weird angles and sneak attack the magicians and archers in the back row of the team.
At this time, disaster strikes.
If he misses the follow-up shot, he will hit his face to make up for the missed shot, but he will hit his teammates accurately every time.
This isn't a game, there's no way to turn off friendly damage.
The crossbowman almost turned his own magician into a hornet's nest, and the magician wanted to play a "big firework" out of desperation.
The front row shield guard was scarred and cried for a magic shield. When he turned around, he found that his teammates were too busy taking care of themselves. Let alone setting up shields, they would be lucky if they could not die by friendly forces.
Three of Maroni's shield guards have been lost.
A shield guard was grabbed by the thigh by a goblin who suddenly emerged from the shadows and bit him. In desperation, he raised his shield and smashed the little goblin into a meat pie. However, the magician behind did not release a magic shield for him as a precaution.
The next second, he was hit by several fireballs, and then he was hit in the face by a blowgun.
By the time other shield guards stepped forward to take over and drag him down, there was no good flesh left on his face, the injured area turned purple-black, and his blood coagulated rapidly.
The second shield guard died because of a careless search. The goblin hiding in the groove of the stone wall rushed out from the side and stabbed the shield guard on the waist.
The most aggrieved person was the third shield guard, who was shot through the head by an arrow from behind.
On the list, although Maroni is temporarily ranked first with 112 heads, according to the current rate of attrition, he will have no one available in less than a month.
You have to find a way to widen the gap with your pursuers without causing too much damage to yourself.
After everyone's collective efforts, a baronet really came up with a good idea.
"Isn't there a river near the underground palace we entered these days?" the baronet suggested, "Should we divert water into the underground palace and flood it?"
This fresh proposal made the eyes of the people around him brighten up, and Maroni, who was depressed, even looked happy.
But someone suddenly asked: "Flooding is a good idea, but after flooding, how do we retrieve the bodies of the drowned goblins?"
"Since the goblins live in the underground palace, there must be an underground water source to draw from. The water we poured in cannot not return. Most of the goblins were killed or injured. If we take the opportunity to behead them, won't we be able to win the competition without any effort? "
These words made Maroni feel hot.
"Okay, it is indeed a good idea. We will survey the terrain tomorrow. I will use practical actions to tell these incompetent lords on the border that the goblin eradication is unsuccessful because of their poor brains!"
Maroni was planning the Flooded Goblins, while Lu Yu was helping Sigrid choose suitable weapons at a weapons shop.
This is one of the few items that Lu Yu did not purchase in the royal city. Because Black Shield City is on the front line, there are more people dealing with goblins, and the businessmen here also know better what kind of weapons are more suitable for dealing with this cunning group. of monsters.
The shirtless weapons shop owner looked at Sigrid carefully, and then asked Sigrid to stretch out her hand and take a look.
"How many people are there in the team?"
The owner of the weapons shop lowered his head and continued to beat the sword embryo.
"Three people."
"Three people?" The owner of the weapon shop suddenly raised his head and quickly advised, "In Black Shield City, even the steel adventurers are a team of five to earn bounties. With three people, I still advise you not to go to the underground palace easily. "
"The Adventurer's Guild has a recruitment wall, and capable adventurers can be found there. You might as well complete the lineup before setting off." The boss said seriously, "You are still young, so don't risk your life just to get a few more coins. The most important thing when being a risk-taker is to be cautious.”
It can be seen that the boss has seen too many cases where young people risked their lives out of spite.
"Thank you for your advice. We are going to take care of you with this business."
The boss sighed and did not continue to persuade. After thinking carefully for a while, he suggested: "A small buckler and two short swords. Does this lady have any favorite fighting method?"
"I prefer punching to the flesh."
"The punch and stab are more suitable for you, but the dagger is still necessary, because some goblins will rush to hug you before they die, so you must quickly cut off their hands to escape."
Lu Yu nodded slightly to Sigrid, who immediately put the money on the table and happily bought what the boss said.
Watching Lu Yu and Sigrid leave, the boss sighed.
"Don't listen to advice... If Goblins are so easy to deal with, how come we can't conquer the lost territory, these nobles, ugh..."
At dawn the next day, Lu Yu started to put medicine into his backpack after eating a few slices of bread that irritated his throat.
"Low-level frenzy potion, how to use: use magic power to activate it and make the opponent inhale it into the nasal cavity."
"Low-level corrosive powder, usage method: oral administration."
"Low-level hallucinogen, usage method: inhalation through mouth and nose."
…
After finishing the potion, Lu Yu selected a few small and powerful magic cores and stuffed them into his backpack.
He and Lulutis, two miserable magicians, can't live without power banks at this stage.
Sigrid tied the dagger to the inner side of her thigh and kicked the wall twice. After confirming that the dagger would not sting, she pinched her fist and punched a few more times until she got a hunting punch, then she stopped with satisfaction. hand.
Lulutis used her tentacles to help Sigrid comb her hair into a ponytail to prevent her hair from blocking her sight during battle.
"Lulu, come here and click on the poison and antidote to see if they are matched..."
I don't know when Lu Yu started to use "Lulu" to replace the name Lulutis.
Lulutis did not object, but calmly accepted the change in Lu Yu's title.
"Why do you all like to shorten my name to 'Lulu'."
Whether it's a rabbit or a stupid dragon, they all call her Lulu.
Lulutis had protested before, after all, this way of addressing her made her look like a child.
However, Rabbit obviously doesn't care so much. As the first person to call her Lulu, Lulutis's objections have no effect on her at all.
After being shouted at too many times, Lulutis had no choice but to accept it.
Stupid Dragon, on the other hand, was not very smart. He spent a long time pronouncing the name Lulutis and could only pronounce Lulu correctly quickly.
Seeing Benlong trying to correct his wrong thinking with sweat all over his face, Lulutis had no choice but to let him go.
As for Lu Yu…
"Calling me by my full name seems unfamiliar. It's been so long. I don't think it's okay to call me Lulu. Or is our relationship not enough to call us by nicknames?"
Lulutis hurriedly waved her tentacles and said that was not the case.
After going through so many things, why can't I shout just one name?
I had heard from Lu Yu before that the roommates in their dormitory never called each other by their full names. They talked about grandson, son, and so on. The chaos of seniority was staggering.
Lu Yu called her Lulu, so she had to find a nickname for Lu Yu.
Sera is called Rabbit by herself because she is a demi-human of the Rabbit Ears Tribe and has extremely long rabbit ears.
The stupid dragon is named like its dragon.
But Lu Yu...does she want to find a nickname from the Chinese she just learned?
