Following Brownie's words, 10 goblins also crawled out from the grass. Two of them were wearing leather armor and holding swords and short axes, while the others were randomly holding crude bows, arrows and daggers.
Whether before or now, Griffith can easily destroy them.
"Good evening, Mr. Gosselaar," Griffith slowly walked forward and looked at Brownie, who he could kill with just one move. "Give me one minute, give me a reason not to kill you."
The goblins all had fierce looks on their faces, staring ferociously at the trainee knight.
"I know how to leave this forest, please come with me," Gosila said with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"How do you know?" Griffith gently tapped Brownie's throat with a sharp wooden gun, "Where are the other goblins?"
"Before planning tonight's action, the Goblins have conducted a detailed exploration of the edge of the Whispering Forest," Gozilla walked past the trainee knight calmly, "My plan is not to
He has no interest in capturing or killing the students of Homemonworth and exchanging hostages for wealth and status."
"Well," Griffith retracted his wooden gun, kept a little distance from Gothra and followed it, "Why is that?"
Gozilla waved his hand and asked the goblins who were protecting him to disperse around. He said casually as if chatting with friends: "This decayed and corrupted forest contains many secret treasures, far better than those of Homon."
Watts' Secrets.
"But there are dangerous mutant creatures everywhere here, and it's impossible to explore with goblins as assistants.
"For this reason, I thought of using your power. Of course, asking you directly is not possible. I will be treated as a madman and dealt with by Homemon Watts.
"However, after the human warriors and mages were introduced into the forest through the previous method, coupled with the blood shed from the battle, mutated creatures in a large area nearby will be attracted, and they will start killing each other for blood.
Then, the great professors arrived, and I think you must have seen their terrifying thunderbolts and karmic fires. After repeated cleaning like this, I was able to explore relatively safely."
"Even if the monsters in this forest have been weakened, it is impossible to explore with your power. Any mutant creature will kill you." Griffith said.
"That's true. I have a escort team, and now there are only a few of them. All the other companions were killed not long ago," Gosila stopped and turned around to look at the tall trainee knight, "What are you doing?
Let's make a deal, Mr. Apprentice Knight, I think you have sufficient rationality and a sound brain. If you can protect me for a while, I will tell you how to get out."
Griffith stared into Brownie's big eyes: "How can I ensure that you didn't lie to me? I can break the neck of your guard, and then ask you how to get there."
"Don't be like this. It's not far away. There's nothing to lose if you come and take a look." Gosila pointed to a hill in front of him. "The lost secret is there. Even without my guidance, you have to climb it."
Go up to that mountain peak and observe the direction to find the road."
Griffith thought for a while and felt that he really had no other good choice, so he followed Brownie towards the mountain peak not far away.
They hadn't gone far when a strong rancid smell appeared in the air.
Before Griffith could understand what this smell was, a short figure staggered out of the darkness ahead.
"This is?" Gosila narrowed his eyes and tried to look forward.
A decayed Goblin appeared in the moonlight. Its body was wrinkled and twisted, and it was only half the size of a normal Goblin, like a shriveled orange.
There was no usual greed, cruelty and cunning in its eyes, instead they were filled with turbidity.
"This is one of my guards who was killed," Gothra said to Griffith. "There is some kind of monster hidden in the darkness, turning them into what they are now. They are already walking corpses."
Griffith looked at Gothra and then at the shriveled goblin corpse, showing no intention of taking action.
Without Gosla's order, two of the guards jumped out from the surrounding goblins and rushed forward. They held daggers and stabbed at the walking corpses from left to right.
The moment the dagger hit the walking corpse, the monster suddenly became manic. It opened its skinny arms and embraced an approaching goblin like a welcome old friend.
"Jie Jie Jie!"
The captured goblins immediately screamed in agony. Their originally thin bodies became as withered as zombies, turning into a pile of skeletons in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Griffith and Goosra took a step back together. Evil magical energy wandered in the air, making every living creature present shudder.
"What? Aren't you also twisted and chaotic monsters like this walking corpse? Since we are the same kind, what are you afraid of?" A voice like dry ice sounded from the darkness. Six humans in black robes slowly walked from
Out of the darkness.
Professor Lordes!
Griffey immediately saw the face of the visitor clearly. Why was the chief person in charge of the winter camping here? Shouldn't he be supporting the others? Could it be that everyone has escaped danger. Great, we are finally safe.
"Woo!" The remaining goblins shouted in unison, rushing toward the humans who appeared from all directions.
"Stop!" Gosila and Lourdes shouted at the same time. But the professor added after that: "Don't kill them, I have a use."
A man in black robes following Professor Lourdes stood out from the crowd. He lifted his cloak with lightning speed, and several snake-like shadows pounced on the attacking goblins, knocking them to the ground in the blink of an eye.
.
Centipede-like black shadows crawled and snaked along the Goblin's hands and feet, binding them tightly. Tiny threads seemed to spread out from the black shadows and easily pierced the Goblin's skin, in their flesh and blood.
Squirm.
A frightening blood vessel immediately protruded near the flesh where the thread had been pierced. The goblins struggled for a while and then gave up resistance one by one. They stood up like puppets under the control of the black shadow and watched silently.
Griffith and Gothra.
"Demon hunter, you came so quickly. Have you been waiting nearby for a long time?" Gosila sighed feebly, took off his hat and saluted Professor Lourdes, "I didn't expect that I would be so troublesome to you."
The high-ranking mage of Homemonworth waved his wand contemptuously, and a black magic pattern immediately attached to Gosila: "Lead the way, lowly creature, take me to the storehouse where your master hides his secrets."
Gosila turned around respectfully, without any resistance, and moved towards the dark mountain peak.
"Professor," Griffith, who already had a chill down his spine, looked at the cold Professor Lourdes, "Thank you for your help. Please tell me how to leave this forest. I need to return to Miss Larmore as soon as possible."
Lourdes ignored the trainee knight and nodded to the demon hunter beside him: "Watch him, I suspect that he has been contaminated by mutated creatures. While I am exploring the ruins, he must stay close to me at all times."
The five demon hunters following Lordes hesitated for a moment, and the man who had just controlled the goblin raised his hand to signal to the other two:
"Pella, Hank, check the trainee knight's equipment."
Two young demon hunters, a man and a woman, were immediately ordered to surround him. The girl looked at Griffith up and down, while the male demon hunter named Hank beside her collected all his weapons and handed them to their leader.
: "Captain Karius, these are all his weapons."
"Wood-cut short spears and daggers," the demon hunter captain Karius identified the weapons in his hands one by one, and suddenly exclaimed, "Corrupted holy weapon? Where did it come from?"
Professor Lordes glanced at Griffith with a razor-like gaze, his eyes seemed to say - "Give me an explanation."
"This is the trophy I obtained in the battle to protect Miss Larmore. It came from a fallen vampire baron," Griffith said calmly, "Miss Larmore can prove it to me."
"This weapon has the special effects of shadow attributes solidified on it. It is a very powerful weapon, far better than enchanted equipment." Karius repeatedly inspected the feather fencing sword. "The corruption has imprisoned its original ability. If it can be
Purification will be a rare weapon. Pella, use your discerning eye to examine him carefully."
After saying this, the demon hunter Karius put the feather fencing sword around his waist without any intention of returning it to Griffith.
The girl named Pella then closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a blue light appeared in her left eye.
Several demon hunters present were on alert. Once Griffith behaved abnormally, they would take immediate action. Hank, Pella and Raven formed the shield-holding vanguard, hunters, and long-range shooters.
As a combination, Karius and Hakan's equipment seems to favor spellcasters rather than melee.
This is a well-organized team of demon hunters that can flexibly deal with many complex situations. They must have a certain mission following Lordes.
What is certain is that this mission is not to search and rescue Griffith.
Griffith felt that the blue light penetrated him, and even his soul was being scrutinized repeatedly. He couldn't help but worry about the retention of the extraordinary characteristics of the vampire he had just acquired in his body, and whether Minos, the bone ring, would be noticed.
"Nothing abnormal, Captain," Pella's strange eyes found nothing. "His mind is a bit confused, as if he has just advanced from Sequence 9 to Sequence 8."
The majestic Lourdes swung his cloak and walked quickly towards the dark mountain peak alone without looking at the people around him.
"Let's go, Hank, return the dagger to him. I will keep this corrupted weapon," Karius hurriedly followed Lourdes, "We have to hurry up."
