A carriage, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers, staggered to the foot of Shita Mountain.

It was already evening and the carriage stopped in front of the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Several soldiers worked together to unload the goods from the carriage, and they were the goblins that had been loaded onto the carriage this morning.

After placing the iron cage full of goblins on the ground, the soldiers drove the carriage back without any intention of stopping.

After more than ten minutes, as if even the sunlight was disgusted with the goblins in the iron cage and disdained to give them warmth, a green-skinned dwarf holding a short bow walked out of the woods.

It was an ugly monster with pointed ears and a long nose. It was not wearing any clothes, but only had a piece of dirty cloth wrapped around its crotch that could not be seen in its original color.

Two goblins who were trapped in a cage and were dying saw the bow goblin appear, and they screamed for the bow goblin to save them.

The bow-wielding goblin was a little hesitant, but after observing around the iron cage, he found that there was indeed no trap. He then opened the iron cage doubtfully and released his fellow goblins who were squeezed in the small iron cage.

Goblins have their own simple language, and they communicate through vocalizations of different tones and body movements.

Although their language is still immature compared to humans, given enough time, goblins will surely be able to develop a civilization of their own.

But when that time comes...humanity will probably suffer.

After the captured goblins were rescued, they talked with the bow goblin for a while, and then followed the bow goblin into Stone Tower Mountain...

"As expected by the master, the goblins have indeed arranged scouts at the foot of the mountain."

A colorful black crow with a red hair on its forehead was observing the goblins' actions from the branch of a tree.

This bird is the Phoenix Fire that Shuichi used to blow up the Dark Gold Pool.

When the little guy saw the goblin gradually disappearing into the forest, he immediately spread his wings and followed from a distance.

In Xiuyi's plan, Phoenix Fire's mission is to find the goblin's lair.

If there is a chance, it would be best to collect all the entrances and exits of the goblin's lair, and then calculate the goblin's total troop strength, combat power level, equipment configuration, logistical supplies, prisoners... and a lot of other information.

Phoenix Fire followed the goblins into Stone Tower Mountain and happened to see a group of goblins who had gone out hunting returning with a full load.

Dozens of goblins carrying wild boars, deer, goats and other prey entered a cave on the hillside of Shita Mountain.

Because of the bushes blocking the view near the cave, it is difficult to see clearly with the human eye if the distance is too far. You have to get closer to see the clues.

Phoenix Fire has a characteristic called [Light and Shadow]. In addition to flames and superpowers, it also has the ability to partially control shadows and can blend itself into the darkness to achieve an effect similar to invisibility.

Phoenix Fire followed the goblin team into the cave and saw many hidden traps.

Although most of the goblin traps are crude, even ordinary people can see some clues if they have time to observe carefully.

But the ability to make traps also means that the goblins are quite intelligent.

The goblin's lair is built in a cave on the hillside of Shita Mountain. Inside the cave is a hundred-meter-long cave with unexpectedly large space.

The cave was very cool, and Phoenix Fire felt the air had become much colder as soon as he entered.

Although it is winter now, the temperature is not cold because there is no snow.

In addition, there is plenty of sunshine, so the temperature difference between this winter and autumn is actually not that big.

Phoenix Fire disappeared into the darkness. It flew silently along the top of the cave, exploring the secret places of the Goblin's lair bit by bit...

Three hours later, Phoenix Fire returned to Horcas Castle. It was already night.

Shuichi, Hocas and Bocolanchi were chatting in the old man's study.

Since the relationship between the three of them had made substantial progress yesterday, Master Bokolangqi couldn't wait to start teaching Xiuyi after breakfast today.

Based purely on the current world situation, the only thing Shuichi really wanted to learn was information about shadow beasts.

He was a wild man, and the diary he got from the bald man did record a lot of things.

But those are all miscellaneous and unsystematic.

Xiuyi had no channels to acquire a lot of basic knowledge.

The appearance of the old man made up for his weaknesses very well.

After all, he is a protagonist without a system, so Xiuyi can only become self-reliant to carve out a world of his own.

The old man was giving Shuichi a lesson, and as for Viscount Hocas… he took care of some things during the day, but after dinner, there was nothing much to do.

It happened that I stayed in the old man's study to accompany Xiuyi to class.

This scene of father-in-law and son-in-law taking classes together is actually quite interesting.

In order to teach Xiuyi, old man Bocolanchi specially cleaned up his study, moved an original bookshelf away, and made a special desk.

Phoenix Fire landed on the window and tapped the window glass gently with its beak, looking very polite.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the glass, the three people in the room immediately turned their heads and happened to see the Phoenix Fire outside the window emitting colorful light under the reflection of the light in the house. A red hair was trembling with the shaking of the bird's head, which was very cute.

Seeing that it was Phoenix Fire who came back, Xiuyi immediately stood up and opened the window. Phoenix Fire slipped through the gap in the window and suddenly jumped to Xiuyi's left shoulder, affectionately sticking its little head to him.

"Phoenix Fire, you're back."

"Ah~~Replenish the master's energy~~The Phoenix Fire is resurrected!! Never leave the master again!"

To be honest, Phoenix Fire's character is set to dote on Shuichi and has a very high favorability.

Fortunately, the original setting did not include yandere, otherwise... this is the master's soup... (If you are interested, you can search for "love soup" on the Internet.)

Xiuyi and Phoenix Fire interacted for about a minute before Phoenix Fire reluctantly broke away from their close relationship.

Xiuyi brought Phoenix Fire back to his seat, where Hocas and Bokolangqi had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them were extremely interested in Phoenix Fire, but they didn't have time to communicate yesterday. Phoenix Fire was on a mission during the day today, so it was delayed until now.

"How was the mission?"

Shuichi gently stroked Phoenix Fire's colorful feathers with his hand.

Phoenix Fire is almost the size of an adult bird, but its body is very light.

"Found it." Phoenix Fire gently rubbed Xiuyi's fingers with its beak: "There is a cave on the hillside of that mountain. The cave is very deep and dark. The green dwarf used a torch to illuminate it. There are several forks in the cave with traps..."

Phoenix Fire spoke clearly and logically, and it was hard to tell that he was a newly created shadow beast.

The information it gave also surprised Xiuyi and the other two.

It turns out that the Goblins have developed to this extent without anyone noticing.
