Chapter 1406 Red Hat

"'Red Hat' is completely different from the beautiful and noble fairies that people imagine. In fact, the status of 'Red Hat' among the high-ranking fairies is like that of goblins among humanoid creatures. It is not an exaggeration to say that 'gods hate ghosts'. " Joan said to Ruby.

"The red hat, also looks as ugly and wretched as a goblin?" Ruby asked curiously.

"These cynical fey freaks, squat, shriveled little old men, always full of angry expressions, eager to vent their grievances in blood."

Joan took out the photo mirror, recalled the illustrations about the "red hat" in "Vares Monster Illustrated Book" (fine volume), and then presented the illustrations from the mirror through imagination.

The most obvious feature of the "red hat" is the pointed hat on their head soaked in the blood of the victim.

Ruby stared at the little old man wearing a pointed red hat in the mirror, and noticed that the monster had a horned beard on his chin, and said, "This 'red hat'... look It looks like a man, Brother Qiao An, can you draw another female 'red hat'?"

"'Red Cap' is a sexless spirit creature, male or female, all of them look like this."

Ruby was shocked by Joan's answer, and asked in confusion and disbelief: "'Red Cap' has no gender distinction, so how do they reproduce?"

"'Red Cap' reproduces by budding like a potato," Joan explained.

Most adult "red caps" only sprout once or twice in their life. The buds are raised from the back and will fall off from the back after six months of development, growing a head and limbs.

Newborn redcaps must fend for themselves, and if they are lucky enough to survive a full year, they can reach full maturity.

The longer the "red hats" live, the stronger their power will become. The leader of a group of "red hats" is often the oldest, most cunning and cruelest in the entire group, and is honored by the younger "red hats" as "" Elders".

In fact, Qiao An has never seen a real "red hat". The knowledge he told Ruby is all from books, and he dare not say that it is absolutely true and reliable.

In fact, compared to the records in the book, Joan feels that the residents of Bucks Town have a deeper understanding of the "red hat". After all, the locals have personal experience of dealing with this evil goblin.

Joan intends to show the tavern owner the "red hat" that was drawn entirely by imagination in the "picture mirror", and ask him what is different from the real "red hat". Ring the bell quickly!

When the people in the tavern heard the bell, they all stopped talking, stood up and looked out the door, their faces becoming very solemn.

"The alarm bell came from the security team!"

"There must have been an accident in the town, either someone's house caught fire, or a thief was discovered!"

Hearing people's comments, Qiao An vaguely had a bad feeling, and quickly gave Ruby a wink, telling her to be more vigilant in case of accidents.

Just when people were panicking, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a strong man in leather armor and carrying an ax rushed in. Seeing that there were still a few young townspeople in the tavern, his expression immediately darkened.

"Didn't you hear the alarm bell? What time is it, you bastards still care about drinking!"

"Take your weapons quickly and gather at the gate of the militia training camp!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Morrison?" asked the tavernkeeper loudly.

"It's just that group of red hat bastards who live in the forest, coming down from the mountain to make trouble again!" Morrison replied angrily.

"Oh, so it's those little monsters!" Someone laughed nonchalantly, "There's nothing to worry about. With Mr. Smith around, you can drive the 'red hat' thieves away with a few spells."

Morrison shook his head, his face darkened.

"Things are not as simple as you think. The number of 'red hats' that broke into the town from the hillside this time is more than before. It is said that there are no fewer than thirty or forty. Even the leader of the bandit group, the vicious The outstanding 'Red Hat Elder' is also here, Mister Mage may not be able to defeat that old monster!"

"Ah? The red hat elder is here too? This is really troublesome!" The tavern owner yelled in horror, "It is said that the old guy is very powerful. He looks very short, but he is as powerful as an ogre. He can wield a huge sword with one hand. A sickle, a knife can cut a person in half from the waist!"

Morrison nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The scariest thing about monsters like 'red hats' is not their ferocious aggressiveness, but their unusually tough skin. It is difficult for ordinary weapons to kill red hats, and the skin of the elders of red hats is more Ordinary red hats are tougher, even shotguns can't pierce them!"

"Fortunately, I have a family-owned cold iron battle axe, which can easily tear the magical skin of the red hats."

Morrison shook the black tomahawk with a cold light in his hand, and asked the tavern owner: "Mr. Fitzgerald, last time you said you got some shotgun bullets forged from cold iron, wasn't it just bragging? "

"Of course not bragging!"

The tavern owner bent down to open the cabinet, pulled out a magic crystal shotgun, and then pulled out a chain of bullets, showing it to Morrison and the guests in the tavern proudly.

"My son works in a big company in Port Layton. He learned that goblins have been making trouble in his hometown in recent years, so he specially spent a lot of money to buy this shotgun and cold iron bullets, and asked someone to send them back for my self-defense!"

Joan could see that the bullets on the belt were darker than ordinary steel, exuding a slight chill, and they were indeed bullets forged from cold iron.

The son of the tavern owner, of course, is Mr. Charles Fitzgerald, who is employed by the Alfheim Colonial Development Company and is responsible for distributing student loans to Leiden College.

"Brother Qiao An, Ruby, I heard that high elves are born with magical protection, and their seemingly soft skin can withstand swords and swords. Only cold iron weapons can break the magic barrier attached to the surface of the skin. Could it be that goblins are short and wretched?" The red hat also has such a talent?"

"Miss Ruby" asked in surprise.

Joan nodded, and said in a low voice: "The appearance of a goblin has nothing to do with talent. It doesn't mean that the more beautiful they are, the more powerful they are. Although the 'red hats' are short and ugly, they are indeed a high-level goblin."

"However, in the category of high elves, the 'red hat' is the lowest kind. It only has supernatural skin that can reduce weapon damage, but it does not have more powerful supernatural abilities such as 'extraordinary elegance', nor does it have the ability to cast spells. With a cold iron weapon in hand, it is relatively easy to deal with."
