Chapter 123: The Adventurers of the Great Tree Cave Tavern
Chapter 122 – The Adventurers of the Great Tree Cave Tavern
“The guards are actually kobolds?!” Roger hadn’t been surprised as many times in a year as he was today, but he still trusted the oak’s eyesight, the only question was whether they should approach.
As a novice small monster, every adventurer can’t avoid dealing with kobolds, especially seasoned veterans, sleeping can smell the smell of kobolds, eyes closed know the knife should be stabbed into the kobolds which is more fatal, eliminate a kobold tribe is more of a sign of an adventurer’s graduation from the novice, but the kobold’s town is still the first time they have seen it.
“These kobolds are very strange, not only have the standardized fine equipment, but also have a strict discipline, I did not see a messy kobold guards.” The oak who usually didn’t have much expression at this time had a kind of seeing a ghost, no, even if he met a ghost I’m afraid he didn’t have this expression, because it was simply too incredible.
“Equipment is alright, but disciplined kobolds I can’t imagine.” Copperhelm muttered as he poured a mouthful of ale.
In fact, not to mention him, everyone in the room couldn’t imagine it.
Weren’t kobolds supposed to be nasty creatures that were dirty and putrid and gibbering?
“As you recall, those soldiers at the Wooden Cottage showed no signs of defense in this direction.” The gray cat suddenly spoke up, not to mention that it provided another thought.
“Are you saying that these kobolds have no hostility to communicate with?” Although Roger was questioning, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter as this was the only explanation.
The Wooden Cottage was a human stronghold, that much could be confirmed without a doubt, but not being wary of a kobold town was very telling.
It could only be explained by the fact that the two sides had been in contact earlier and were not hostile.
“Why don’t we take a closer look?” Roger made a bold suggestion, favoring this suggestion of risking his life to get everyone’s agreement, it could be seen that adventurers deserved to be adventurers, risking had become instinctive, and life was nothing more than a bargaining chip in the process of risking, the kind that lost all and retired from the game.
After making the decision, the four of them took a deep breath, and although they were holding weapons, they did not make an attacking move, and then slowly walked towards the town.
As they got closer, Roger and the others realized that those kobolds with a unicorn horn on their heads just glanced at them without issuing a warning, much less summoning their companions to encircle them, and took their appearance as a matter of course, which made Roger and the others even more bold, and actually walked through the gate into the town.
“Have I had too much to drink?” Copper Helmet put down his flask and rubbed his eyes, his mouth wide open, unable to believe that in this life he could still see a town filled with kobolds.
“These kobolds are so strange, almost like humans!” Roger said with the same disbelief, but the more so, the more he wanted to figure out the reason.
Because they were too surprised and instead didn’t know what to say, Roger’s four instinctively followed the main road to the square and saw the Great Tree Cave Tavern.
“I think I can get information somewhere!” Copperhelm gulped and stretched out a stubby finger to the tavern.
Roger and the others didn’t feel that this was an excuse, because most of the adventurers’ intelligence was either purchased from the Adventurer’s Guild or inquired at the tavern, the latter only required a few cups of wine money, and what information they could get all depended on luck, the cost was small and the profit was large, it was most preferred by the adventurers, and was also the habit of the adventurers when they arrived at an unfamiliar place, so they all agreed, and together they entered the tavern.
In fact, they were all full of curiosity, eager to see what a kobold tavern was like.
“Outsiders, don’t fight and make trouble here, or I’ll throw you out to the vigilante!” The one-horned kobold who was watching the venue said with a fierce expression.
They were transformed from the mutated Demon Horn Goblins and changed their demonic horns to unicorns to differentiate themselves.
The same mutation, the town’s kobolds became smarter and smarter, but the magic horn kobolds became more and more ferocious, even after the transformation, their hands were faster than their brains, so they could only serve as the territory’s soldiers and fighters, which filled the town’s gap.
“We are foreign travelers, we won’t cause any trouble.” Roger said with a naive expression. The problem was that the four of them didn’t look like good citizens from anywhere, even the one-horned kobolds with bad brains wouldn’t be fooled, so they gave them a look of contempt before letting them in.
Of course Roger knew how unreliable his statement was, in reality he was only using it to test the other party’s bottom line.
It was shocking that he actually saw rules and restraint in the kobolds.
The words that will be handed over to the security forces for causing trouble came from the mouth of a kobold, do you dare to believe it?
But this can confirm that these kobolds are safe, at least for now.
Exchanging glances with each other, Roger led the way into the semi-underground structure of the tavern.
“The wood elf tribes don’t even have tree caves like this, and these plants are very strange.” As a half-elf, Oak had been to the wood elf tribes, but had never seen a tree hole like this either.
Now the only remaining wood elves in the empire are living deep in the forest, in the form of tribes, and isolated from the world, only some half elves can be found, oak has the honor to have been to a wood elf tribe, but even in the wood elves where called the son of the forest, he has never seen such an ancient tree and tree holes, it can simply be called a miracle.
“I’m more concerned about how the drinks are here, I hope they sell fine ale here as well.” Copper Helmet’s jug was all but empty the next breath he saw the tavern, and at that moment, he sniffled and said with the look of an old drunkard.
Roger realized that this place was a lot different from a normal tavern, at least he hadn’t seen a kobold bartender in any other tavern, in addition there were surprisingly kobold maids here as well.
Not knowing what came to mind, Roger and Oak blushed slightly at the sight of the Slime Maid, but they didn’t notice the Gray Cat’s face reddening a bit as well.
That said, young girl what did you do to the Slime Maid in the bathhouse?
“It’s a new guest ah, would you like to try the Great Tree Cave Tavern’s hidden wine?” The kobold bartender took out a few bottles of fine wine, and Copper Helmet’s eyes glazed over for a moment, but what was left of his sanity made him ask about the price, and in the end, he only managed to spare one bottle for purchase.
After a month of long-distance traveling, although working as an escort for the merchant group saved a lot of expenses, the savings of the small group was still not very optimistic, and even Copper Helmet, who was addicted to alcohol, didn’t dare to spend money indiscriminately.
Roger took out his skillful words and tried to ask for some free information from where the kobold bartender was, not expecting one surprise after another.
“This is the town of Green Shade, humans and non-humans are welcome to come and live here, no conflicts are allowed, if there is something you want to find the Goblin General or the town mayor to assert.” The kobold bartender said while pouring drinks for the four.
Goblin General and Mayor, Roger remembered these two key roles.
“Also over there is the Witch School, where many witches reside, if you don’t want to be turned into a rat to be used as a magic potion test subject, it’s best not to approach easily.” The kobold bartender said to them cautiously.
Hearing this, the four Roger’s faces changed at the same time, they had taken on a mission to deal with a witch who had gone mad once, and it was a very bad experience.
Oak accidentally hit the witch’s curse and spent all of the squad’s savings to save her life.
Not only did they do it for nothing, but they also spent all their savings, and since then the four of them have stayed away from witches.
So when they heard that there are many witches living here, they couldn’t help but turn their heads and want to leave.
