Scene 259 Secret Party (Part 1)

"Bang, bang, bang." Root retracted his wings, landed on the window sill, raised his hand and knocked on the bottom glass of the window. A small face soon appeared behind the foggy glass. It was clearly a little girl. She looked no more than 10 years old. She was wearing an exaggeratedly large hood. Under the hood were silver bangs and She has slender eyebrows and a pair of big eyes that seem to be able to speak under her eyebrows, with a shallow layer of light floating on the silver pupils.

She wore a pair of glasses with round frames on the bridge of her nose. There was a slit in the left glass lens, and her face was a little red. When she saw the little goblin outside the window, she quickly showed a happy look on her face. She quickly unlatched the window bolt, opened the window, and let the little goblin fly in.

"Are you okay, Mr. Root? Have you found my sister? Was she arrested by the Sheep-Headed Cultists? Is she okay?"

The little girl waited for Root to fly into the house, immediately closed the window, and couldn't wait to ask a lot of questions.

"I'm sorry, Lian, the security in the square is too tight. I can't get through. I don't know if your sister is there." Root flew straight to a desk, and a spot on the desk that was covered with a thick layer of dust was wiped. It was very bright, so he sat down there and answered.

Lian's face suddenly turned pale, she leaned helplessly on the chair and said, "You still haven't found your sister..."

Root glanced at her and comforted her: "Don't worry too much. Those guys haven't started their living sacrifice ceremony yet. If your sister really falls into their hands, she should be safe for the time being. Damn it, if this is Eruin would be great, I know a very powerful guy there, he can definitely help us."

"Mr. Root, you don't have to worry. My sister and I stayed in Eruin for a while with our mother when we were young. We will definitely find a way to help you find your way home." After hearing what Root said, Lian finally calmed down. When he came down, he comforted him in a sweet voice.

"I have said many times that that is not my home. My home is in the Scorched River, which was originally connected to the shallow sea and the Storm Mountain. But now it should have been thrown into the void. I want to go back. It's not such a simple thing," Root shook his head and said, "But I do have to go to Eruin to find that person and see if he has returned to his homeland. After rescuing your sister, we will Just go to Eruin together, you don’t have any relatives here anyway.”

Lian nodded, looking forward to the future described by the little goblin. She replied sincerely: "Thank you very much for staying to help us, Mr. Root."

The little goblin was not polite. He stayed to help the little girl simply because he felt pity for her. When he first met Lian, she was being hunted by the Goat Head Cult. Later he found out that Lian was because he wanted to rescue her. My sister was not discovered until she broke into the square.

According to Lian's description, when she and her sister were traveling to the Land of Eternal Death, they were attacked by pagans along with the caravan they were traveling with. Her sister pushed her down a roadside ditch in critical condition. She escaped because of this, but when she woke up. The two sisters have been separated.

Later, she inquired around and learned that the Goat-Headed Cultists were attacking in preparation for a human sacrifice two months later. She speculated that her sister might have fallen into the hands of the Goat-Headed Cultists, so she traveled thousands of miles to Hadland. However, even though Lian is young, she has a very good brain and a sweet mouth. In fact, she took a detour to Ovich Port in the north of the Inner Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. From there, take a 'free' boat ride to Hadland.

The ship was actually a merchant ship running a regular route between Hadran and the northern part of the Inner Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. On the ship, she met a priest from the Temple of the Dead Moon - who was also the ship's doctor. He sympathized with her life experience and brought her to Hadran. He originally wanted to help her find her sister. But Lian knew that the captain and crew of that ship actually had no influence in the upper echelons of Hadran. In order not to cause trouble for the other party,

After she quietly left a note, she disembarked and went ashore. The crew went ashore to search for her for a while, but found nothing in the end. The outsiders' stay in Hadland was limited, so the crew had no choice but to return. Perhaps I hope in my heart that this little girl and her sister can have a good ending.

Not long after that, Lian met Root while searching for her sister. In fact, it was the goblin who saved her life. Root originally sympathized with this little girl, but after learning that the other party and her sister came to Madala from Eruin, he became even more determined to help her rescue her sister, and then the three of them worked together Go on the road to Eruin to find Brando.

In fact, he has wasted too much time in the wilderness since he was thrown from the elemental barrier to this place. Although he knew a lot about the human world, that was all knowledge he got from books. Once he came to the main material plane in person, once he arrived in the wilderness, all the methods he knew to identify directions became decorations. He couldn't understand the map he snatched from the hands of bandits and merchants, and went all the way to Hadran. He originally thought that this was a port on the Dusky Star Sea, and planned to take a boat from here to the White Mountain or the White Mountain controlled by the wind elves. Silver Bay, and then transfer to a shuttle boat to Eruin.

But he didn't expect that he would bump into the edge of the inner sea of ​​the Dead Moon. He originally landed on the east side of the Undead Sequence, which was very close to the Dusky Star Coast. Unexpectedly, he had gone further and further away in the past two months.

This discovery made Root extremely frustrated, and for the first time he doubted his ability to find a way. Therefore, if he did not want to wander around Madala forever, these half-elf sisters might be his only savior.

Fairies are often superstitious about the guidance of the stars. Root believed that it was the starlight that night that guided Lian to come to him.

Apart from her sister, Lian has no other relatives, although she remembers that she lived with her mother for a while when she was a child. At that time, they still lived in Eruin, a place called Lantonilan. , not long afterward, their mother fostered them in a local monastery. Before leaving, their mother left a large amount of money to the abbot of the monastery and each of them, and told them that if they wanted to come to her in the future , go to Madala in the south, but before that, you must have the ability to protect yourself.

According to the tradition of the silver elves, one must reach adulthood before they have the right to travel far.

But not long after their mother left, the abbot of the monastery tried to drive them out of the monastery in order to steal the property that belonged to them. She and her sister only carefully kept one of their mother's relics. It was a beautiful pendant, and her sister a cloak. After that, the two wandered around Manowell and Braggs, begging and struggling to survive.

About ten years ago, her sister managed to get a sum of money, and then the two sisters went south together and left Eruin and came to Madala, but they wanted to find a specific person in the country of the dead moon. It is easier said than done, not to mention that it has been nearly half a century since their mother separated from them. Whether her mother is still alive is still a question. Otherwise, how could she bear to leave the two sisters in Eruin and ignore them?

After wandering in Madala for several years, the two sisters visited most of the areas north of the Inner Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. This time they wanted to go to the Land of Eternal Death to find the whereabouts of their mother, because they heard that there was one of the knights of the Queen of the Undead. A woman named Bai, and the name Bai was one of their mother's aliases back then.

But I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing on the road.

Lute agreed very much with Lian's experience. Although he had his own tribe and relatives, goblins were born without parents. Most of the time, they would be driven by their own curiosity to wander around. Some goblins would even come to the Lord's home. Location plane, for example, Miss Tata's sister Lolo is. Although Root has never been to the main material world, before meeting Brando, he also traveled to most places outside the elemental realm.

The two were silent for a moment, during which Root drank some honey to fill his stomach - which he stole from a kitchen. Of course, to goblins, this is not called stealing, because they have no concept of money at all. From their perspective, everything in this world is created for them, and there is no such thing as a 'master'.

In fact, except for the sword that a swordsman regards as life, if there is another person who needs it more, he will not hesitate to use it to save others. Of course, in fact, most fairies are born empty-handed. Pauper, living life without any worries.

Lian also ate a few biscuits, but very little, although most of these biscuits came from Lutshun. However, the little girl regards all food as a treasure. Only those who have experienced hunger understand the preciousness of food. She also plans to let her sister taste these exquisite biscuits after she is rescued.

"I thought about it," Root said vaguely while sucking the honey on his fingertips: "We should do this. I heard that humans like to go to a place called a 'bar'. We can go there to find out. News, maybe you can find some useful information.”

"us?"

"Yes," Root nodded: "I am too conspicuous here, and you have to step forward to find out the information. When the time comes, I will hide in your hood, and you will follow my instructions. That's right."

"Okay!" Lian's eyes lit up. If the little goblin hadn't strictly ordered her not to leave this place every time before going out, she wouldn't have wanted to stay alone in this empty abandoned house. Besides, in her opinion, the little goblin Although he is very powerful, his work is somewhat unreliable.

It was only half a month later that it thought of asking for information for the first time. I don't know if this Mr. Goblin is too confused or not familiar with the way things are done in the human world.
