Chapter 50 49 Our Relationship Should Be Based on Nicknames

Chapter 50 49. We should call each other by nicknames

"It's been four days since the competition started, and Lu Yu is still hiding in the house. It seems that he is determined to stay until the end of the competition."

A red-haired noble angrily threw his hat on the ground, cursing.

"He is so good at pretending. He came with a whole cart of potions, but he turned out to be a turtle. How unlucky!"

"That guy Andrew even ran from the Knights' Station to visit him?"

"The Turner family has always been lackeys. Did you know it today?"

The person who said this did not realize that he was actually a lackey under the control of Count Nott's family.

Someone started it. The nobles led by Maroni Nott gathered around the campfire, cursing Lu Yu one by one, venting the dissatisfaction accumulated over the past few days.

Hunting goblins is really not a human thing.

Although the elders in the family told them before they came that fighting goblins is not an easy task, most of them did not take it seriously.

The nobles in the rear had been pampered for too long and lacked basic knowledge of the combat power of monsters.

They thought that the trip to the East was just an alternative winter hunt under the protection of the family guards, where they could take heads everywhere. Killing goblins was just entering the forest to hunt. All they had to do was bend the bow and put the arrow on it. When the arrow was released from the string, they could listen to the humming sound of the bowstring and see the prey fall.

What was a goblin?

Ugly, short, and low in IQ, they could be killed by a wolf alone.

How could the nobles who had received a good education and were proficient in martial arts and magic not be able to beat the goblins?

The fact was that in the dark underground palace, they had to hold the magic crystal for lighting and move forward carefully.

If they were not careful, the cold arrows shot from the darkness would pierce their defenseless backs.

If they did not search carefully, a floor tile could trigger a fatal mechanism.

Even if they all noticed, facing the Goblin army that adopted the human wave tactics, they could not provide effective support to their partners in the narrow corridor.

Most of the crossbows fired in a hurry were inaccurate. They were not used to the dark environment, and they would turn into horse spear monsters if the light changed slightly.

Because the underground palace was complicated, some Goblins who went around could appear at very strange angles and sneak attack the magicians and archers in the back row of the team.

Every time this happened, disaster came.

They couldn't follow the gun, and they missed the shot when they were close to the face, but they were accurate when they shot their teammates.

This is not a game, and you can't turn off friendly damage.

The crossbowman almost made his own magician a hornet's nest, and the magician wanted to play a "big firework" in a hurry.

The front-line shield guards were scarred and cried for a magic shield, but turned around and found that his teammates were busy with their own affairs. Not to mention putting on a shield, it was a blessing not to die under friendly forces.

Maroni's shield guards have lost three.

A shield guard was caught on the thigh by a goblin that suddenly emerged from the shadows and bitten. In a hurry, he raised his shield and smashed the little goblin into a meat pie, but the magician behind him did not release the magic shield for him as a precaution.

The next second, he was hit by several fireballs, followed by a blowgun shot in the face.

When other shield guards came forward to fill the position and dragged him down, there was no good meat on his face. The injured part turned purple and black, and the blood coagulated quickly.

The second shield guard died because of the careless search. The goblin hiding in the groove of the stone wall rushed out from the side and stabbed the shield guard in the waist.

The most aggrieved was the third shield guard, who was shot in the head by his own people from behind.

On the list, although Maroni ranked first with 112 heads, according to the current attrition rate, he would have no one available in less than a month.

He had to think of a way to widen the gap with the pursuers, and he couldn't suffer too much damage.

With everyone working together, a baronet actually 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 people around him brighten up, and the depressed Maroni was even more delighted.

But someone suddenly asked: "Flooding is a good idea, but after flooding, how can we retrieve the bodies of the drowned goblins?"

"Since the goblins live in the underground palace, there must be underground water sources to use, and the water we poured in cannot not recede. Most of the goblins are dead or injured, and we take the opportunity to behead them. Can't we win the competition without any effort?"

These words made Maroni's heart burn.

"Okay, it's 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 extermination is not going well because they have poor brains!"

Maroni was planning to flood the goblins, while Lu Yu was helping Sigrid choose suitable weapons in a weapons shop.

This was one of the few items that Lu Yu did not buy in the royal city, because Black Shield City was on the front line, and there were more people dealing with goblins. The businessmen here also knew better what kind of weapons were more suitable for dealing with these cunning monsters.

The shirtless owner of the weapons shop looked at Sigrid carefully, and asked Sigrid to stretch out her hand and take a look.

"How many people 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 raised his head suddenly and quickly advised, "In Black Shield City, even the fine steel adventurers earn bounties in a team of five. I still advise you not to go down to the underground palace easily with three people."

"There is a recruitment wall in the Adventurer's Guild. You can find capable adventurers there. You might as well make up the team before setting off." The boss said earnestly, "You are still young, don't risk your life for a few more copper coins. The most important thing for an adventurer is to be cautious."

It can be seen that the boss has seen too many cases of young people acting impulsively and risking their lives.

"Thank you for your advice. We plan to take care of you in this business."

The boss sighed and did not continue to persuade. After thinking seriously for a while, he suggested: "A small round shield and two daggers. What kind of fighting method does this lady like?"

"I prefer the fist-to-flesh fighting method."

"Then the fist stab is more suitable for you, but the dagger is still indispensable, because some goblins will pounce on you and hug you to death before they die, so you must quickly cut off their hands and get away."

Lu Yu nodded gently to Sigrid, who immediately put the money on the table and bought what the boss said.

Looking at the backs of Lu Yu and Sigrid leaving, the boss sighed.

"Don't listen to advice... If the goblins are so easy to deal with, how can we not conquer the lost land, these nobles, alas..."

At dawn the next day, Lu Yu ate a few slices of bread that scratched his throat and began to put potions in his backpack.

"Low-level frenzy potion, usage: use magic power to trigger, let the opponent inhale it into the nasal cavity."

"Low-level corrosive powder, usage: oral."

"Low-level hallucinogen, usage: oral and nasal inhalation."

…

After the potion was released, Lu Yu selected a few small and powerful magic cores and stuffed them into his backpack.

He and Lulutis, two miserable magicians, still cannot do without power banks at this stage.

Sigrid tied the dagger to the inside of her thigh and kicked the wall twice. After confirming that the dagger would not hurt, she clenched her fist and swung a few more punches until she hit a whirling fist wind, and then she stopped with satisfaction.

Lulutis used her tentacles to help Sigrid comb her hair into a ponytail to prevent her hair from blocking her vision during the battle.

"Lulu, come here, check if the poison and antidote are matched."

Since when, Lu Yu has begun to use "Lulu" instead of Lulutis.

Lulutis did not object, but calmly accepted Lu Yu's change of address.

"Why do you all like to simplify my name to 'Lulu'?"

Whether it was Rabbit or Stupid Dragon, they all called her Lulu.

Lulutis had protested before, after all, this way of addressing made her look like a child.

However, Rabbit obviously didn't care so much. As the first person to call her Lulu, Lulutis's objection had no effect on her at all.

After being called so many times, Lulutis could only accept it helplessly.

Stupid Dragon's brain was not very good. He read the name Lulutis for a long time and could only read it quickly.

Seeing Stupid Dragon sweating to correct his wrong pronunciation, Lulutis had no choice but to let him do it.

As for Lu Yu...

"Calling her by her full name seems unfamiliar. It's been so long. I don't think it matters to call her Lulu, or is our relationship not enough to call her by nicknames?"

Lulutis waved her tentacles hurriedly and said that it was not the case.

After going through so many things, how can I not call him by his name?

I heard from Lu Yu before that the roommates in their dormitory never called each other by their full names. They always called each other grandson, son, and grandpa. The confusion of generations was shocking.

Lu Yu called her Lulu, so she had to find a nickname for Lu Yu.

Sera was called Rabbit by herself because she was a subhuman of the Rabbit Ear Tribe, and her rabbit ears were particularly long.

Benlong's name is like his dragon.

But Lu Yu... was she going to find a nickname from the Chinese language she had just learned?
