"You still won't let us in?" Lin Li said with a smile, looking at the somewhat dazed village chief.
"Ah, my lord, please come quickly." The village chief finally came to his senses and quickly led the way, leading Lin Li and the others into the village.
Lin Li followed the village chief and looked around. He found that the houses in the entire village were very simple. The walls were simply made of wood and the roofs were covered with weeds.
The goblins he met along the way bowed politely and said to the elderly goblin in front of him: "Hello, village chief."
Lin Li knew in his heart that this old goblin was the head of this village.
After a while, Lin Li followed the village chief to a larger thatched house.
"Sir, please take a short rest in this room. In the evening, our Goblin Village will hold the most grand bonfire party to welcome you." The village chief said respectfully, invited Lin Li and the others into the room, and then left.
go out.
Lin Li walked back and forth in the room and found that there was only a broken bed made of stone. There was a stone table in front of the bed, and there was not even a chair in the room.
"This Goblin village is a bit too desolate..." Lin Li muttered while sitting on the cold stone bed.
After a while, voices came from outside the door.
"Grandpa, village chief, can you just not let us in? What if this adult gets angry and kills us?"
"Hey, stop talking nonsense, go in and apologize to the Lord properly. This Lord is not such a cruel person. If he wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to stand here now."
"Dang Dang Dang" came the sound of knocking on the door.
"Sir, I am the village chief. Is it convenient for you now? Can the little one come in?" The village chief's hoarse voice came from outside.
"Come in." Lin Li said, not knowing what the village chief was going to do.
"Creak!" The simple broken door of the house was pushed open, and the village chief walked in dragging two goblins.
Lin Li took a closer look and saw that these were the first two goblins standing guard at the door.
"Sir, these are the two brothers who are responsible for standing guard in our village, Mike and Mag. They attacked you indiscriminately before. The younger one brought them here to apologize to you. I hope you can give them a way to survive." The village chief.
As he spoke, he knelt down.
"Village chief doesn't have to be like this." Lin Li supported the old village chief. He still looked awkward when others always knelt down for him.
"Plop!" Mike and Mag behind the old village chief knelt down in response, "Sir, it was us two brothers who were confused before and dared to attack you, sir. Fortunately, you are so powerful. If we had hurt you, sir,
Then we really have no choice but to die to apologize, and please forgive us both, and we are willing to work as cows and horses for you in the future!"
Lin Li looked at the two brothers who were kowtowing behind the village chief. He stroked his forehead and said helplessly: "Get up and talk properly. I didn't want to kill you."
The two brothers stood up after hearing Lin Li's words, and said with a silly smile: "Sir, you are not only so powerful, but also so broad-minded. You are really our idol."
Lin Li looked at these two silly goblins and felt that these two brothers were quite interesting.
"I saw you were drooling when you saw me at the door just now. Do you want to eat me?" Lin Li asked.
"We, we thought adults were human beings at that time, so..." Mike answered Lin Li nervously.
"Have you ever eaten humans?" Lin Li asked again.
"We have never met humans since we were born, let alone eaten them." The two brothers kept shaking their heads.
"Huh? Then why do you drool when you see humans?" Lin Li was a little surprised.
"Sir, because it is said that human beings are the most delicious things in the world, that's why we are so greedy and drooling." The two brothers scratched their heads in embarrassment and replied.
"Just because of a legend, can you eat people who have no grievances against you?" Lin Li asked with a hint of anger in his voice.
"We were wrong! We were wrong!" Hearing Lin Li's angry voice, the two brothers knelt down again.
"Stand up and know that you are wrong. Don't let your knees be so weak. Kneeling down can't solve any problems, you know? Your enemies won't let you go just because you kneel down, right?" Lin Li looked at these goblin statues.
It's a weakness engraved in my bones, and I feel very uncomfortable.
When Lin Li said this, the two brothers stayed where they were for a while, not knowing what to do. It seemed that Lin Li's words had somewhat subverted their worldview.
Lin Li looked at the state of the two brothers and said helplessly: "As for how to treat humans, I want you to use your own thoughts to make judgments, rather than attacking indiscriminately because of a legend or instinct. In that case
What's the difference between you and those mindless monsters?"
"Okay, sir, we understand." The two brothers stood up and looked at Lin Li as if they didn't understand.
The village chief on the side looked at Lin Li with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Grandpa, the village chief, the bonfire party prepared for the adults is ready and can start at any time." A little Goblin girl was lying at the door of Linli House and said to the room.
"Okay, I understand, sir, let's go out now. All the villagers in the village want to see you." The village chief said to Lin Li with a smile.
Lin Li came out and saw that it was getting dark outside. A huge bonfire was being lit in the middle of the village, and a group of goblins were talking and laughing around the bonfire.
When Lin Li and Xiao Jin beside him thought about having something delicious to eat, their mouths watered down in dismay.
Twinkle also left Xiao Jin's back and flew buzzing around the campfire.
"Dear villagers, you have the honor to pass by our village today. Today is a blessing for our village. Let us welcome you with the warmest ceremony today! Ahem..." The village chief led Lin Li to the bonfire and shouted to the villagers.
With.
"Hahaha, no need, just have fun." Lin Li stood in the middle and felt a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many villagers.
After saying that, he sat down at the table next to him, looking forward to what delicious food these goblins would bring.
After a while, plates were brought up one by one by goblins, and Lin Li and Xiao Jin hurriedly rummaged through the food on the plates.
But Lin Li discovered that the plate contained either wild fruits or potato-like food...
"Is this...is this the highest etiquette here?" Lin Li looked at the village chief in disbelief.
"Yes, sir, this is the best we can come up with." The village chief looked hesitant to speak, as if he had something to hide.
