Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

"I don't think they will be as united as we are. If we can show enough strength, who will be the first to bare their fangs to those frost giants and white dragons? Us, or those tribes that were driven here?"

Sylvia's attention was completely focused on her nails, and she didn't seem to have any more interest in participating in the discussion: "It's much better to block them outside than to let them rush in here. We already have enough troubles. It would be too bad if there were more, wouldn't it?"

"Don't think of them as some kind of magic 'puppets', Sylvia," Sera pouted, hooking two fingers on the handle of the wine glass and putting the other two fingers in quotation marks, "The environment here is many times better than the ice and snow. Maybe they didn't want to leave their homeland at first, but after seeing here, especially the prosperity of the port, who can say what they think?"

"Perhaps this requires your eloquence, Sera?" Bunny's gentle gaze fell on Sera, which made the barbarian's body tremble. "You were once one of them. Is there any way for us to solve this problem without bloodshed, or at least with as little bloodshed as possible?"

"Perhaps you could serve as a messenger..."

"Me?" Sera showed a strange smile, "Bunny, you have a great idea! The only way I can solve this problem is to beat up all the guys who can fight among them until they are bleeding!"

"But you know, I can't do this alone, and if everyone comes together, the situation will be out of control."

Either a one-on-one fight or a group fight, the way of communication in the north has always been simple and unpretentious.

Everyone started arguing. Even though Ron had made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in this matter, there were some things in the world that you couldn't just choose not to get involved in, so everyone still needed to do their best to express their opinions.

In this seemingly chaotic meeting, Ron turned his neck slightly and saw a blue shadow just at the edge of his sight, flashing under the window outside.

"Sunak? What do you want?"

Ron's voice was not loud. He was sure that the other party was not far away and could hear his question.

Sure enough, after the debate in the conference room calmed down a little, a tall blue figure appeared with a burst of "crackling" magical flashes. The djinn bowed gracefully to the ladies around him one by one, and then bowed to Ron.

He seemed to have some difficulty doing these movements, but it was not because he was injured. When the magical aftermath around him gradually died down, everyone saw that under his armpits, a poor man was being controlled by his strong arms. He did not stop struggling until he saw Ron.

"I saw you were all rushing over for the meeting, so I thought I could join in the fun and maybe help," Sunak said in an aristocratic accent, and it was unclear whether it was intentional or not. "But guess what I found? An eavesdropper!"

The Air Giant's arm exerted a little force, and the thin man immediately shouted: "As soon as I came over, I saw him wandering around the door and the window, sighing from time to time - he must not be a good person!"

"I took him into custody, intending to hand him over after your meeting, but now that you've discovered me, he's yours."

The giant didn't stay for too long. He threw the guy under his armpit onto the big table in the conference room like a roast turkey. He disappeared in the room in an instant, leaving only a small piece of blue fluorescent dust. Looking at this unlucky guy who was toyed with by the giant, everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to speak first.

The reason is simple: they know this person... and he is one of the ones they are relatively familiar with.

"Well, let me introduce myself. I'm Shuke..."

After a while, the man groaned, put his hand on his lower back, and tried to get up from the table with difficulty. Krad and Quest, who were standing next to him, quickly lent a hand, took the alchemist down from the table, and pulled a chair for him to sit down.

"Mr. Shuke, I'm sorry that you were treated like this," Ron looked at the businessman who was Elden's apprentice apologetically, "Sunak is a guest who has been staying here recently. This should be the first time he has seen you..."

"It's okay, it's okay," Shuke smiled bitterly and waved his hands, then groaned again, "This is also my fault. The guards outside knew me and let me in. I saw that you were in a meeting and it was not easy to disturb you, so I couldn't help but want to look around and see what you were doing. After all, I haven't been here for a while. I didn't expect you to have developed to this point. I didn't expect... Ouch."

Bunny stretched out her hand and gathered the sacred energy, gently placed it on Shuke's lower back, accompanied by a comfortable tremor. After the spell took effect, Shuke half-lay down on the back of the chair with a ruddy face, and sighed with satisfaction: "Thank you, Miss Bunny..."

"This is what I should do," Boone smiled and returned to her seat. "You must be in such a hurry to see Mr. Ron for something. Can you tell me now?"

"Ah, yes." Shuke nodded quickly. He stood up and looked at Ron. "Mr. Ron, no, it might be more appropriate to call you Lord now. I just arrived at the trading post two days ago. This time I came here to ask for your help. My teacher... encountered some troubles."

"Mr. Elden? What happened to him?" Ron couldn't help but alert himself. The old scholar was not a bad person after his depigmentation recovered a little. He also provided Ron with a lot of help. If he had any difficulties, Ron would be happy to lend a hand - provide limited help.

"You... know about the recent commotion in Yungang, right?" Shuke sighed. "Since returning from your place, the teacher's condition has improved a lot. He has been going to various places for research and investigation from time to time, and his depigmentation has gradually eased. We are all very happy about this, but we didn't expect that the teacher would be in danger because of this."

"About a month ago, he received a message from an old friend he hadn't contacted for a long time, hoping that he could go to Yungang to meet him. The teacher gladly accepted the invitation. It happened that I was also in Yungang recently, so I went to pick up the teacher and went with him to meet his friend."

"In theory, it's a good thing for old friends to meet each other, but not long after, they started arguing, and finally had a big fight!" Shuke sighed repeatedly, "The teacher took me away angrily, and within two days, I heard the news that frost giants and white dragons from the north were heading south together."

"The teacher mentioned to me inadvertently that this seemed to be related to his old friend. He told me to pack up and leave as soon as possible, and not to get involved in any trouble."

"Of course I followed the teacher's advice. We left Yungang a few days ago and carefully avoided all the sections that were rumored to be dangerous. But I didn't expect that when we were about to finish the Gobi Desert, we were attacked by an orc tribe!"

Shuke looked up at Ron, his anxiety in his eyes not fake at all: "My caravan was torn to pieces, and in the chaos, Mr. Elden was caught!" (End of this chapter)
