Heart of the Castle

Chapter 325 Smart Goblin?No, it's a ghost

When the Green Castle was first built, it did not belong to the territory of the Kingdom of Arthur. The refugees and rebels who once gathered here did not have enough aesthetic vision, so the buildings of this ancient castle looked a bit ugly and clumsy, and in order to be able to cope with the number of people at that time. Tens of hundreds of refugee leaders and leaders of the rebel party gathered for dinner and feasts. The banquet hall here is extraordinarily spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people.

However, in the current Green Castle, there are no more than ten people who are eligible to dine with Li Wei, including Vice Archbishop Beria, whose health has not fully recovered, and Master Sugard, who is ready to eat alone.So the dinner was not held in the banquet hall on the first floor, but was delivered to the room next to the meeting hall by the servants.

When Levi arrived, the dinner party had already been seated, and the steaming food was also on the table. The hall was filled with a strong aroma of roasted fat, as well as the smell of chili, saffron and cinnamon.But because the top seat was still vacant, everyone sat in their respective seats, drinking ale or wine and chatting, and no one touched the delicious food in front of them.

"My lords, please be quiet." Seeing Li Wei's figure approaching, Butler Bart immediately announced in a somewhat pretentious but not offensive voice: "The hero who ended the disaster, Greencastle and West The guardian of all kingdom territories north of the Lan River, His Excellency Baron Leviston is here!"

Li Wei couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, which really seemed a little funny.But no one in the room felt the same way.The knights under Li Wei immediately stood up in awe and knocked their chests to pay tribute to him; while the priests and apologist knights from the Temple of Storms and Temple of Earth also fell silent immediately.

Li Wei sat on the chief seat, and nodded apologetically towards everyone, "I'm late, those damn government affairs make people crazy."

Several knights immediately laughed in agreement, and among them, Knight Hall, who had just returned from the field, laughed the loudest, laughing and shouting: "Your Excellency Li Wei, can you tell us what it is that made you escape?" Won't you leave?"

Li Wei forced himself to show a relaxed smile, "It's a little trouble, eat first, and then talk." He paused, and picked a grilled onion from the plate with a fork, which was soaked in brown gravy. Hold it up and say, "Aren't you hungry? I've been wrestling with those damn scrolls all afternoon, and I'm starving."

After saying this, Li Wei took a bite and made a crisp clicking sound.The onions are grilled just right and the gravy is rich enough that the beef and cumin flavors fill your mouth instantly.This was an exhilarating feeling, but Li Wei couldn't be happy at all. The taste in his mouth seemed to be...anger.

Seeing that Li Wei had already started eating, everyone no longer thought about any extra things. The dinner was not rich and luxurious, but the taste was rich and the portion was sufficient, which was very suitable for the taste of the Northlanders.Potatoes simmered in gravy with plenty of dried chilli and saffron on the table; whole grilled veal steak in a black pepper sauce served with grilled mushrooms and lettuce as side dishes; It is a large piece of black bread with a lot of nuts in it, and the aroma is tangy.

All the knights in the northern region have good appetites, but the Archbishop of the Temple of Storms, Bovais, is no less inferior to them. Everyone who ate this meal smiled, but they drank very little, and only toasted each other with big horn cups. several times.Because many people have already seen that Baron Levi, who is sitting at the top, has a gloomy face and looks a little preoccupied.

After the plates were cleared, the servants removed the cutlery and brought up several crocks full of nuts, wild walnuts or hazelnuts. These things are very popular, but not so much for eating. Yes, it might as well be a prop for the knights to show off their strength.Usually at this time, there will be the sound of Gaba Gaba crushing the shell, and the occasional cries of frustration when encountering a very difficult nut, but today no one cares about those hard little things, but all eyes are on Ruo Thoughtful Levi Ston.

Li Wei frowned and thought about it. The fact that the Riat Knight was captured by the goblin made it difficult for him to speak, because he couldn't find any words that could fully express this matter without damaging the reputation of the Riat Knight. method.Silence enveloped the hall, and the knights began to look at each other, a little at a loss.

"Your Excellency Li Wei, can you tell us now what troubles are bothering you and why you have been so preoccupied?" As the archbishop of the Temple of Storms, Povava, who has a lofty status and aloof position, asked, breaking the embarrassing situation. the silence.

"A small trouble, but..." Li Wei hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the whole situation, "In the evening, Captain Joss from the small mining village sent a message..." He led the Riat Knights After the goblin was exterminated, but was captured instead, the whole audience fell silent, and several knights opened their mouths almost out of their joints, with expressions of disbelief.

"Hahaha, I was caught by the goblin, and I still want to make soup... Hahaha." A burst of laughter came from the mouth of Archbishop Povavar. The nuts in it were sprayed out.Several knights glared at him, but soon they couldn't hold back the anger on their faces, and laughed together, the laughter almost knocked the roof off.

A knight was captured by goblins. Such a funny thing really made people laugh, and even the servant standing by the wall covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Except for Li Wei, only one person did not smile, but gritted his teeth. "Ryatt, he's really getting more and more capable! He was captured by goblins!" Knight Hall, who was also a servant of Knight Ston, was furious. He slapped the dishes on the table, Then he gritted his teeth, turned to Li Wei and knelt on one knee and begged, "Your Excellency, please order me to fish that guy out of the goblin's hole!"

"Knight Hall, please stand up." Li Wei said in a gloomy voice, "I've thought about this for a long time just now, it's true that Knight Riat is a little impatient, but he can be called a qualified soldier , if those goblins use crude tricks, it is impossible for the Riat knights to be deceived, let alone captured."

"Your Excellency, God's Favored One, or leave this matter to our Giant Mountain Knights." Cassadir Knight of the Earth Temple stood up and said sarcastically, "We are different from secular knights. In addition to being brave, we also have to be brave. Use your brain. As long as you agree, the Giant Mountain Knight will help you rescue that... subordinate who was captured by the goblin."

After these words, there was a complete silence, even the deputy head of Jerome, who is also the giant mountain knight, was stunned, and Cassadir knight still stood there unconsciously, with a smug expression on his face .After a while, only the sound of metal armor leaves colliding with each other was heard continuously, and several knights jumped up, with expressions of trying to restrain their anger on their faces.

Before everyone had time to attack, the roar of Deputy Head Jerome shook the air in the hall.

"Brother Kasadir, your words are too rude! Chapter 12 of the Bible warns about this—don’t use your words in vain—you apologize to Your Excellency, and then go back to your room Go, and confess to my lord Caggino!"

Cavalier Cassadir wanted to argue, but he was stared at by those angry eyes, so he had to lower his head and muttered a few insincere words to Li Wei.

Li Wei accepted it reluctantly, and then watched Knight Kasadir walk out of the hall with a straight face and head held high, not as if he was going to repent, but as if he was about to fight someone.

"I'm very sorry, Brother Kasadir is too young, and sometimes he speaks without thinking." Deputy head Jerome saluted his chest like a priest, his voice was gentle and polite.

"I can forgive him for his recklessness..." Li Wei's answer was halfway through, when the door was knocked open very suddenly, and the old red-robed scholar Master Sujiad rushed in, waving a fork in his left hand and shaking his right hand He is holding a thick classic book, which looks a little funny.

"I found it, I found it!" Master Sujiad's voice was quite excited, "Look at this, Your Excellency Li Wei!" He ran to Li Wei, put the classic book on the table with a bang, and suddenly jumped up. A burst of stale dust choked the surrounding knights to cough.

Li Wei stepped back in anticipation, avoiding the choking dust, and then looked carefully at the classics.The ancient book brought by Master Sugard is his own collection. Its age can even be traced back to before the founding of the first King Arthur. The parchment pages have long since turned yellow and become brittle, and the edges are full of cracks, but the exquisite patterns on it are still clearly visible.

The opened page showed several goblins in robes.

This was Li Wei's impression at first glance, but he soon discovered that this goblin was different.Goblins have always given people the impression that in addition to being evil, cowardly, and dirty, they are extremely stupid, and they are extremely exaggerated in many folklore and bard songs.Many scholars even believe that this race that has its own language should be excluded from the list of intelligent races, because the ridiculous performance of goblins is really worthy of this title.

But this tome depicts some smart-looking goblins.

The robes don't mean much, since goblins tend to throw around whatever clothes they loot, so it's not surprising to see a goblin in a princess tutu.However, these goblins obviously wore robes of the same style and fit their own body types, and they all held a strange-looking metal cylinder in their hands. Li Wei didn't know whether those metal cylinders were weapons or something else.

"I have asked Captain Joss to judge that these are the goblins who occupy the abandoned mine pit behind the small mining village. To be precise, they are not goblins, but a subspecies that has disappeared in history. Scholars will always say They are small spirits." Master Sugard pointed to the classics and explained: "These guys are no less intelligent than ordinary people. It is recorded in this classic that trained and educated little spirits are quite qualified servants, and can even serve as servants. A magician's or alchemist's assistant!"
