Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 206 Fishing in troubled waters
"You're a turtle man?!"

When the halfling said this, Quest was stunned: "There is only one person who transformed into a turtle man here. I can't forget this. Doesn't that mean--"

"Catch him!" Ron raised his hand immediately. The turtle man was about to rush out of the door at a speed that was not typical of his race, but he felt that the space around him became as sticky as glue, so that he was pinned to the ground by the shapeshifting monk before he could run two steps away.

"It was a close call that you got away with it!"

Quest gritted his teeth and pressed the long stick against the back of the opponent's neck, making it impossible for the opponent to escape no matter how he struggled.

The slow-motion technique that Ron had learned from Marsalino these days came in handy. Even though this "turtle man" was agile, he could not escape the time flow affected by magic.

"Quest!" The turtle man began to yell, "You traitor! What do you think you are doing? Helping a human to suppress your compatriots?!"

"What did you tell us before?"

"I told you before not to do such sneaky things!" Quest snorted coldly and punched the other party on the temple. The shapeshifters are shapeshifting creatures. Although such a place is vulnerable to them, it is not fatal. "Didn't you agree to it at the beginning? Why don't you comply!"

No matter what kind of lord accepted them, they had to leave a good impression on him so that they could gradually loosen the shackles. This guy did this right at the beginning. How could he have the face to lobby Ron further in the future? !

"Sure enough, there are lightning-shaped cracks!" The shapeshifter who had transformed into a halfling came forward and shouted, "Everyone, come and see, this guy has transformed into the same look as me before!"

"Jack, why didn't you tell us before!" Someone among the shapeshifters complained, "We have been detained for so long for nothing!"

"I'm used to changing my appearance every once in a while," the halfling spread his hands, "How can I possibly remember every appearance I've changed into?"

"The turtle man's original form was a street beggar we met on the way here. I saw the pattern on his shell was quite unique so I changed it to show off. Who would have thought he would actually learn it from me?"

"This is simply embarrassing us!" The Yungang craftsman spat at the turtle man's face, "Hurry up and change back to your original appearance so that the Lord can see it!"

"You..." The turtle man tried to struggle, but Quest was not a good person. After half a set of punches, the shapeshifter obediently turned back into the original appearance of its own race: a cement-colored face with no clear facial features except eyes and mouth.

It was the first time for the others to see the shapeshifter. They all frowned and commented on the evil look. But Ron had seen Quest's true face. When comparing the two...

Apart from their clothing and weapons and equipment, he could not tell the difference between them.

"Hey, I know him!" Outsiders may not be able to tell the difference between shapeshifters, but that doesn't mean they can't tell the difference between their own kind. The middle-aged man squatted in front of this shapeshifter and looked at him carefully, then stood up suddenly, "Quest, you must be mistaken! He is Hubert, a wanted criminal by the City-State Alliance. He is a thief and a liar!"

"How could you recruit him? Rose City offered a reward of 6,000 gold coins for him!"

"What?!" Quest was shocked and quickly flipped through the list he had prepared. "No, no, no, Sir Johnny and Ron, this is not right!" "Look at my list, I definitely didn't write his name. How could I possibly look for such a notorious guy?"

Ron took the list from Quest, and just as he said, there was no person named Hubert on it, not even one with a similar spelling.

So how did this thief get in?

"Ha, Quest, you idiot!" Hubert on the ground laughed arrogantly, "I got rid of the silk merchant you were supposed to find, and then I became the person he became, and you didn't even notice it, and I succeeded like this!"

"You lied to me, and what's more?" Quest looked at him in disbelief. "Because of this, you killed Benjamin?!"

"What else?" Hubert sneered, "But you know what, Quest, even though I did it, it was you who killed him! If you hadn't spread the word about how great this place is, I wouldn't have thought of it, and he wouldn't have died!"

"Do you understand? You are the one who caused his death! And you deceived me and all of them! This place is a pathetic cesspool, you tricked us into coming here to suffer!"

"How much did this human give you, huh? By the head?"

"Nonsense!" Quest was furious. "I have already explained all the situations here clearly. Everyone came here with me voluntarily. I will not force anyone who doesn't want to come!"

"It's obviously you, a lazy maggot - what, have you realized that this is not a big city like Rose City, and there is no room for a thief like you?!"

"Ha, ha, ha," Hubert continued to sneer, "Whatever you say - then, Lord, what are you going to do?"

The shapeshifter raised his head with difficulty and looked at Ron: "You heard it too, right? I'm worth six thousand gold coins! Do you want to send me back to Rose City to collect the reward? The gentlemen of the Rose Council will definitely look at you with new eyes!"

"But, but!" He laughed sarcastically, "How can you be sure that there are no people like me among the remaining people? Huh?"

"They just have more patience than I do! They keep their hands to themselves, but it's only temporary! You don't get a bunch of 'honest changeling civilians', just thieves, liars, and spies!"

"It is because of bad apples like you that our race is relegated to the ranks of monsters." A shapeshifter standing in the crowd said coldly, "It is because of you that we will never be able to get a piece of land where we are not excluded!"

The shapeshifter took off his disguise, walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Ron, bowing slightly to him: "My Lord, after what happened, it seems that you are destined to be unable to tolerate our race. Please allow me to take my leave first. I have to return to my original city-state as soon as possible."

"By the way, I work for a lord of the City-State Alliance and was once a colleague of Quest. The purpose of my visit this time is to lurk here and assess the possibility of the 'unaccepted ethnic groups' and the 'majority races' living together normally - it seems that your attempt has suffered a setback before it even began."

"There's a reason why creatures like us have been unacceptable for so long."
