The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 39 The Kobold in the Tunnel

The dark underground tunnel is illuminated again, and the frightening underground world in the legend does not affect everyone's emotions at all. "Young people don't know how to feel sad" is a true portrayal of the two little girls, Elf and Misha.When she stepped into the darkness for the first time, the elf girl took out a ribbon with a beautiful pattern from her little treasure bag and put it on her forehead. There was a hazy light blue halo within tens of feet, and the little elf enjoyed everyone's surprise, especially the little girl's eyes full of envy and longing, which made her heart as happy as eating honey.

The airy Elf shook her head and circled around Misha, deliberately showing off in front of the little girl, with bursts of "ho ho ho" smirks from her little mouth.Hateful little one!You also have today!Ho ho ho!I was always bullied by you in the past, but this elf finally felt proud today!Hahaha!
The little girl with tears in her eyes looked at her biggest support with a crying voice: "William—!" Looking at the two childish little guys, William patted his forehead helplessly, and he bent down and picked him up. Misha'er, like a pissed off daughter-in-law, pinched her little face and comforted her: "Ha! Misha'er's helmet is the best! There is nothing like Misha'er's baby! Come! Here! You!" William took out a piece of lettuce that had already been cleaned, and handed it over as if coaxing a child, and the little girl immediately started to eat the delicious food with a smile on her face.

Singers, who was pushing the drag bucket, warned the elf with a vicious voice, saying: "Little brat! You'd better take that thing off your head! If you don't want to be pierced by a spear in the dark! "Of course the old dwarf was just being bored and looking for awkwardness on purpose. In fact, he didn't think this section of the road would be dangerous. On the contrary, the light from the sash made it easier for him to see where he was going.

The two races of dwarves and elves have always disliked each other. The dwarves think that the elves are too thin and weak, while the elves think that the dwarves are too stubborn and old-fashioned and have no artistic beauty. giant.But Finia, who was always silent, made it difficult for old Singers to find excuses, so he could only turn his "gun" and "fire" at the elf.

Elf snorted disdainfully at the one-eyed dwarf with a ferocious face, made a grimace and ran away far away, but the elf, who was used to the horror legends of the underground world, still secretly took off the ribbon and wrapped it around Faye. Nia on the arm, then "giggled" and ran to William.The little girl purposely used her small teeth to crunch the flesh of the lettuce, and from time to time she spit out a small piece on the ground like she was spitting out the skin, as if to demonstrate to the elf.

The elf also snorted and turned her head away to express her disdain. A white jade-like crystal blue lettuce tuber suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Elf, who was beaming with joy, quickly took it, but when she looked up, it was William's big smiling face. Putting on a straight face so as not to look too happy, he snorted and said, "Don't think I'll forgive you for giving something to please Elf! Hehe!" But after all, he couldn't bear the temptation of deliciousness and smiled, especially this kind of fat The melons and fruits are the most loved by the elves. Ever since she was tricked by a little girl on the road, Elf has rarely been able to eat fruits. After all, it is not the season for fruits.

The two little guys competed fiercely to see who could bite the blue lettuce louder and vomit farther. In the end, they didn't know who was the first to vomit on each other, so the "war" resumed.

William opened the way ahead with a bull's-eye lantern, and Finia was guarding the left and right with a huge ax on his back. Misha, who was tired from walking, got into the trailer, and Elf followed suit, and Singer was so angry. Half of Si's beard was raised straight up, and the three of them were whining and arguing, and the originally boring road seemed to pass by in a flash amidst the noise.

When he was about to approach the destination, there was a faint sound of dog barking, and William stopped cautiously. He turned to the dwarves who were busy arguing and said, "Singers! Be quiet! What is the sound?" But the quiet dwarves He didn't hear any movement, except for his own snoring.He asked in confusion: "William! Did you hear wrong? I didn't hear anything!" The little girls also looked at William in surprise, no one's hearing could catch up with him.

Although no sound was heard, the sinister dwarf who knew the underground world still stopped arguing with the two little guys, and the group continued to move forward quietly, only the friction of the trailer wheels and the sound of footsteps continued.

The bark of a half-grown puppy in William's ears was getting closer and closer, and the dwarf finally heard the strange sound in the dark, and he suddenly growled: "Damn it! It's the Kobold (Kobold) A group of despicable bedbugs! They are stealing my ore! Old Singers is going to smash it! Damn it! Let me go!" Angry Singers was about to charge forward with his warhammer, but William grabbed his collar and lifted him up. Standing up, the two short legs kept shaking and kicking in the air.

"Quiet! Old Singers! Don't be impulsive! Tell me what a 'kobold (Kobold)' is!" William said calmly, grabbing the struggling one-eyed dwarf. It was the first time he heard the name.Misha'er and the others on the drag bucket laughed, and the little girl waved her fists and said, "Even Misha'er can defeat several kobolds!"

The kobolds obviously also noticed the movement here, and the messy dog ​​barks began to approach here. When this group of strange guests appeared in front of everyone, William, who opened his mouth wide, let go of the excited dwarf wordlessly. He admitted that he did It's a bit of a fuss. Singers, who fell to the ground with a "bang", stood up and rubbed his painful buttocks, straightened his helmet and roared towards the "menacing" monster.

A kobold, a small, cunning, evil humanoid creature with an extremely timid personality, with dark brown to black scaly skin, a pair of short, light-colored horns growing on top of a head resembling a dog's face, and shiny red With infrared vision that can see up to sixty feet in the eyes, allowing them to walk freely in the dark, and a straight mouse-like tail, the kobold looks more like a misshapen lizard that walks upright.

Some people say that kobolds have the blood of dragons because they can speak dragon language, although their voices are like barking dogs; kobold warlocks with awakened blood power can even use simple dragon language magic, and if the dragon's young dragon Without its wings, it is almost identical to a kobold, but the proud dragon vehemently denies any kinship with the puny creature.

This omnivorous monster with a tendency to abuse other creatures does not like to eat intelligent creatures, but in order to survive they will still drag the corpses of their victims back to their lairs and eat them. They live in dark and damp areas - underground or leafy forests However, as excellent miners, they prefer to live in the mines they dig.

Facing this group of weak monsters who were only as tall as William's thighs, the "height" dwarves seemed to rush into the tanks of the flock. The small bone spears and short spears of the kobolds did not cause any damage to the dwarves' armor at all. The monster, which had an absolute numerical advantage, was thrown back and forth by Singers alone.Elf, the elf who is used to "bullying the weak", also took out her bow and arrow from her small bag to make trouble, and the excited little girl even danced and wanted to fight the kobold with her bare hands. She didn't have the slightest desire to make a move—the desperate William quickly stopped this Hotheaded little guy.Although the kobold's short spear couldn't help the rough-skinned and thick-skinned dwarves, the thin-skinned and tender-skinned Misha'er couldn't.

The little girl kept struggling in William's arms, especially when Elf shot a kobold in the head with an arrow, and then kept showing off to the little girl, which made her struggle more violently: "Let me go! William! Let me go! That's a kobold!"

People in Faerun see kobolds like we see rats, although they are much more dangerous than rats, and more importantly, after killing kobolds, you may reap good loot, such as kobolds stealing loot from other creatures Trinkets, or the various ores they have accumulated, of course, they have to go to their lairs to find them.

Unable to hold back Misha's interest, William could only string the crossbow and hand it to her. Finia, who also had no interest in torturing the weak, took the bull's-eye lantern from William's hand to illuminate the direction, and he was responsible for giving the little girl Winding for playing.

The little girl's first arrow hit the top of the tunnel, and the second arrow flew into the darkness, brushing the elf's hair, which made Elf furious and broke out in a cold sweat, and the elf rushed to the little girl angrily. He waved his fist, then retreated unwillingly.Ok!When our "sharp archer" Misha'er was about to shoot the third arrow with great interest, the kobolds who had been knocked down halfway ran back into the darkness, and then flew out a cold line of ice from the darkness , shot towards the little girl in an instant, but when the ice line was about to hit, it turned back in an instant.

Several people looked at each other in dismay, and the dwarf who was about to pursue retreated back without hesitation. Elf, who was not serious at all, also became serious, and she said hesitantly: "It's [Frost Ray]! Opposite There are spellcasters!"

Singers said with some uncertainty: "Maybe they are kobold warlocks! They don't have too much magic! Why don't I go ahead and have a look!" But seeing his heavy armor, the dwarf immediately give up.

Misha, who hadn't realized it at all, was still happily looking for something to shoot an arrow. She wanted to approach the kobold wounded lying on the ground, but William stopped her with his hand, and he said, "Misha! Don't run around. ! Phinya is optimistic about her! I'll go ahead and have a look!" As he spoke, he took the bull's-eye lantern and held it in his left hand, while holding a scimitar in his right hand, ready to explore the way, but a pair of miserable green eyes appeared from the darkness in front of him. , he stopped moving and lit the place with lights.
