Days Of Getting Rich In Another World Chapter 8

"It's Margaret, what's the matter?"

"It's windy outside, Mr. Alfred is afraid you'll get cold at night, so let me deliver The bed is thick and quilt is here."

Only after the other party reminded Zhao Xu that it was indeed cold in the room, and the cold wind whistling was clearly heard from the window, Zhao Xu thought of this and said, "Then come in. "

Then Margaret pushed the door and came in, holding a quilt in her arms. Zhao Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help her spread the quilt, and Zhao Xu sat on it after she was done. Sit, let alone really comfortable. It stands to reason that Margaret should have left at this time, but she stood still and didn't move. Zhao Xu couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Is there anything else?"

Margaret's face flushed slightly when she heard this, and whispered: "Master, it's cold, do you want me to warm the bed for you?"

Zhao Xu is an adult after all, so he immediately understood what Margaret meant, and he frowned, thinking whether to agree or not to agree to this matter? Suddenly, the room fell into a subtle silence.

Just when Zhao Xu didn't know how to answer, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. At first he thought he heard it wrong, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the chaos outside. It seemed that something had happened. Zhao Xu was eager to have a step for him to go down at this time, and even when he went to the window while muttering: "What's going on outside?" Xu was deliberately avoiding her own proposal, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but she was a servant after all, and she had no choice but to follow Zhao Xu to the window with feigning ignorance.

This world has no electricity and no internet, so there is basically nothing to do at night, so usually most of the residents of Roger Town turn off the lights and sleep at this time, but the situation is different tonight, Zhao Xu and the others Looking through the window, the town was brightly lit. It was crowded with people, as if something had happened. Zhao Xu wanted to avoid Margaret, but he really cared, so he put on his coat and went downstairs to the yard. Steward Alfred and the others were there, so Zhao Xu asked what was going on.

"We don't know the details, but I heard that there seems to be a monster stealing children in the town."

Zhao Xu was also stunned when he heard that. He said Gramsylvania before. The northeastern part is the so-called Cthulhu Black Forest, where all kinds of monsters live. Although there is no full-scale war between humans and them, there are still contradictions between them due to their habits and living space. It is not uncommon for humans to steal things or prey on livestock, but stealing children is indeed the first time. Zhao Xu once thought that he was a lord after all, so he could not ignore this matter, so he asked Alfr Reid and the others took care of the house, and they brought Carriage Fudio and Luffy to the town to inquire about the situation. It happened that the three of them met the mayor Hans and the others not long after they entered the town. Zhao Xu hurriedly asked for details. .

"Too terrifying, fief lord, these monsters used to come to town to steal some food and livestock at most, but this time a goblin actually came to steal the youngest son of Pete and his wife, and so on. We can only fight these monsters." Mayor Hans said angrily and indignantly.

As soon as Zhao Xu realized the seriousness of the situation, he hurriedly asked Mr. and Mrs. Pete to inquire about the situation. The couple ran a butcher shop in the town, and even Zhao Xu had visited them, so they were good friends. Familiar, when asked about the situation as Mayor Hans said, Mrs. Pitt cried and said: "Isn't it windy tonight, I was afraid that Charlie would catch a cold, so I wanted to add a blanket to him, but when I entered the house, I found the window was open. Now, a goblin was holding Charlie and was about to leave. I screamed at the time, but the goblin seemed to be frightened and left Charlie and ran away. After that, Pete and the neighbors heard the sound and came over, knowing that After this incident, everyone started to hunt down the goblin."

After Mrs. Pete finished speaking, the others in the room couldn't help but discuss spiritedly, saying that this goblin was too hateful and must be caught to avoid future troubles. , Zhao Xu knows that Charlie is the youngest child of Mrs. Pitt, who is not yet two years old. Zhao Xu has seen this child before, and he is very cute, but he doesn't quite understand why goblins steal children? But since this happened, everyone can't ignore it, Zhao Xu and everyone discussed and joined the search.

The place in Roger Town is said to be big or small. If you really want to hide a goblin, it is not easy to find. Zhao Xu is responsible for the area in the northeast of the town, which is far from Black Forest. Recently, most of the goblins will go in this direction when they want to escape, but everyone searched around and found nothing. Many people suspected that the goblins might have left the town. Zhao Xu agreed with this speculation, so he planned to bring He went back, but suddenly he heard two very strange voices talking.

"Uub, what are these humans looking for?"

"Taiga, be quiet, it'll be bad if humans find us."

"It's fine. Yes, humans don't understand our words, we just continue to hide here and they won't find out, you haven't told me, what are they doing?"

"It should be hiding in the firewood stack on the west side. That goblin, humans seem to say that it wants to steal their children."

"What do goblins do to steal human children?"

"I don't know, it should be those Humans have wronged it, in their eyes, we monsters are all heinous."

The more Zhao Xu listened, the more surprised he became. It seems that no one has heard this. He suddenly remembered what happened in the mountains last time. It seems that he has the ability to understand the words of monsters. Out of curiosity, Zhao Xu searched for the voice, and finally found the gap between the two houses. Two groups of dark shadows were found in the room, and the other party seemed to notice Zhao Xu immediately, so he hurriedly fled. Because they moved too fast, Zhao Xu didn't catch up, but through the dim light, Zhao Xu could roughly judge that the two groups were very similar. The stuff of Xinxuan cake should be similar to slime. Zhao Xu thought it was funny at the time, but his life has become more and more fantastic since he traveled.

But I sighed with emotion. If what I heard just now is true, then the goblin who stole the child is in the vicinity. Because it is not certain, Zhao Xu did not mention this to others. Just pretended to check normally and came to the firewood stack in the west.

Like the original world, in areas with relatively backward energy technology, firewood stacks this thing are very common, and Roger Town is no exception. Zhao Xu took a look, and this firewood stack is about two meters long. Gao, it seems that the pile is very full, and there shouldn't be a single goblin to hide, but Zhao Xu was still not at ease. He looked closely around the firewood stack, and suddenly he found that the top of the firewood stack seemed a little messy, and he climbed up at that time. Looking at it carefully, it turned out that there was an empty space above the firewood stack, and a few firewoods were piled up in a mess. Looking closely at the moonlight, it was obvious that there was something inside.
