The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Chapter 244 Going to the River to Take a Bath

This really cannot be blamed on the elves' negligence in defense.

You know, the reason why the elders secretly arrested Ansel before was to reduce the negative public opinion pressure caused by this incident as much as possible.

Therefore, the number of people who know the inside story is quite limited.

However, just yesterday, the situation changed dramatically.

Everyone present at the time witnessed with their own eyes the huge and powerful Brute Jaw Rex, which was actually a tamed beast ridden by Ansel!

Although the elders had issued orders to strengthen the guard force, the elves who were unaware of the truth did not actually take the order too seriously.

For them, they were more curious about the rare creature, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, rather than maintaining a high level of vigilance.

Moreover, the top fighters in this village had seen Ansel, a gifted young talent, at a martial arts tournament.

Perhaps it was because of this experience that they did not regard Ansel as someone who needed to be strictly guarded against.

Besides, from beginning to end, the Tyrannosaurus was lying there quietly and sleeping soundly, without showing any abnormality.

Even when Serunniti's father sent people to try to tame it, the Brute Jaw Dragon did not respond at all.

In this way, everyone gradually relaxed their tense nerves, and their vigilance naturally decreased a lot.

Now when several elders and masters rushed over, they only saw a broken village wall and a group of guards standing there in a daze.

When Serunniti's father heard the detailed report, he was furious and asked to send the Elk Riders to track them down.

However, the Great Elder and others did not take it seriously. Ansel was not a heinous criminal, so it was fine if he ran away. At most, they would issue a wanted notice and offer a reward for his arrest.

After listening to the Great Elder's account of what happened, several high-end fighters at the Ruby and Silver levels all felt that Serunniti's father had acted rashly and made inappropriate arrangements. However, due to his moral high ground, it was difficult to refute his righteous and stern statement.

As for chasing the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, no one was willing to go. Ansiel was not an enemy, and this escape did not cause any casualties. Exile was already a severe punishment, so why force him further?

Serunniti's father was very dissatisfied, so he could only let Paducah take his confidant to track them down. He also gave him the magic bow and told him not to deal with the Brute Jaw Dragon, but to find a chance to shoot Ansel to death. If there was no chance, he should secretly follow them, find their hiding place, and then come back with people to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Watching Paducah leave with a team of elf scouts, Serunniti's father still felt unsatisfied, so he went back and wrote a large stack of wanted documents and had them sent to human towns to issue a reward. The charges were betrayal of the tribe, provoking trouble and gathering for fornication.

In the forest, at the expedition team's camp.

This morning, the sun shone through the dense leaves, casting dappled shadows as a reconnaissance team hurried back to the camp.

They brought an exciting piece of news: deep in the forest ahead, they found some broken trees lying in a mess.

Those tree trunks were extremely thick and all broken at the roots, which was obviously not something that could be caused by ordinary wild beasts.

Judging from experience, this was most likely a road that someone had deliberately cleared to allow horse-drawn carriages to pass smoothly.

However, what is tricky is that the distribution of these fallen trees is not continuous, making it difficult to accurately determine the direction of travel.

It is obvious that the other party did this intentionally in order to confuse the pursuers.

Although the search work has made some progress, he, as the team leader, is full of doubts.

According to common sense, how could goblins, creatures with relatively low intelligence and reckless behavior, make such meticulous arrangements?

Not only that, the carriages that were thought to be abandoned on the road were not seen at all, but all the carriages were taken away. What was even more strange was that no lost supplies were found along the way.

The team leader frowned and thought hard:

What on earth did these goblins want to do with these decoration materials and furniture? After all, these things could not fill their stomachs, and they did not seem to have much practical value to them. But the more he couldn't figure out the reason, the more the captain felt uneasy, as if there was a sharp thorn in his heart. An ominous premonition kept lingering in his mind, lingering.

However, even a tiny discovery is far better than having nothing at all.

Therefore, the team leader who led the charge decisively dispatched some people to further expand the search scope following the vague clues.

According to his experience, it wouldn't take long before he could accurately locate the specific direction of the opponent's escape.

At the same time, in the camp, the spoiled young lady Cecilia was almost reaching her limit of patience.

Since she embarked on this journey, she has been suffering in this vast forest for more than ten days.

Although they had plenty of daily necessities such as food and drinking water, the vital clean water resources could not be squandered at will.

She didn't know when it started, but she felt an unbearable itchiness all over her body, as if thousands of ants were crawling on her skin.

Although Patrick had sent people to rush back to the base camp to deliver the message to ensure safety, and brought back some clean clothes for replacement, the arduous camping life still made her feel that the days were long and miserable.

At this moment, she even began to have deep doubts about her best friend's previous boasting about her participation in the crusade against the remnants of the Demon King.

After all, how could these noble ladies, who had been raised like stars in the world and pampered since childhood, really endure such suffering?

Lily, who was wearing a black and white maid outfit and a light blue apron, bowed slightly and said:

"Miss, I found a small river not far away that is used for washing clothes. The water in the river flows very slowly. Maybe we can go there and have a good wash tomorrow."

The young lady sitting on the carved bench frowned slightly when she heard this, and thought to herself:

Although it is a bit awkward to take a bath in the wilderness, if you think about it, this experience can be a different kind of pleasure.

After a little thought, Miss Cecilia decided to go to the river to wash.

She opened her red lips and ordered:

"Lily, go and invite the female team leader over. Have her go with us tomorrow and serve as my personal bodyguard."

Soon, the heroic female team leader came in front of the eldest lady.

When the team leader learned that he needed to accompany the young lady to the river to wash and serve as a guard, he looked embarrassed and was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement.

She protested loudly:

"Miss, as the leader of this team, I have the responsibility to coordinate the overall situation. How can I leave my post so easily? What if something unexpected happens here?"

However, Miss Cecilia remained unmoved and still insisted on her opinion. After all, for this pampered young lady, her own safety was the most important thing.

Besides, if there is no accurate and reliable intelligence showing that there is danger here, then even if the team leader stays here, it will probably be in vain.

Seeing this, although the team leader was unwilling, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally nodded in agreement helplessly.

After all, on the one hand, this is a clear request from the employer, and if she insists on disobeying it, she will probably cause unnecessary trouble; on the other hand, as the eldest lady said, there is no emergency situation that requires her to be in command all the time.

Instead of waiting here, it would be better to accompany the young lady for a walk and relax your body and mind.

Just like that, a unique riverside washing trip is about to begin...

Next, I will briefly talk about the plot behind this book:

1. A Goblin subjugation team was formed to attack the nest where Allen was, and then all of them were captured by Allen. The women became slaves and the men were let go.

2. Ansel returned to the Elf Tribe and rescued his sister, but was not tolerated by Serentini's father and the Council of Elders. They helped him and planned to turn the Brute Jaw into a pet for other members of the Elf Tribe. Annabelle teamed up with Paducah to save her brother and wandered around the world.

3. Allen continued to recruit the remnants of the Goblin King and other goblins, and reached an alliance with Edwina, the leader of the human knights. Allen's strength successfully avoided fighting with the Goblin Slayer and other human silver-level combat forces, forming a buffer zone, and Allen slowly accumulated his own strength through the rapid reproduction of goblins and the increasing number of slaves.

4. Then unite with the human race to fight against the demon king among the demons.

5. Allen went to the Goblin King's Court to increase his strength.

6. Alan collected star fragments scattered around the world, greatly increasing the speed of absorbing the Force.

7. The final plot is that Allen unites with the human race to defeat the Demon King and maintains a basic balance with the kingdom created by the human princess.
