The Romantic Life of a Goblin

Corolla couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Ah? That's how it is! It's not an easy task to capture the Savage Jaw Dragon. Not only does it involve huge risks, but the requirements in all aspects are much more stringent."

The female hunter pondered secretly:

"At the very least, we need two experienced people with Ruby-level strength, and several capable assistants with Sapphire or Emerald-level strength.

If you want to hire such a strong team, even if there is no other additional material income as compensation, the cost will definitely not be less than 5,000 gold coins..."

This price is really high. You have to know that the leather of the fierce jackal dragon they sold this time was only sold for a total of more than 300 gold coins.

After Ansiel heard the price, he suddenly felt depressed:

"The guild here offered a price as high as 6,500 gold coins, and there is no guarantee that it can be captured successfully... and I simply can't afford such a huge amount of wealth..."

This price obviously exceeded Corolla's original expectations, and was even much higher.

In fact, in terms of combat power alone, the Brute Jaw may not be more powerful than a single Ruby-level professional hunter, but no one dares to go alone to fight such a ferocious monster.

Therefore, the team personnel deployment plan proposed by Corolla can be said to be a relatively reasonable and safe choice under the premise of ensuring safety.

The elf boy frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"These past few days, I have been asking around for information and asking many experienced hunters and brave adventurers, but I have not been able to get any valuable clues or help."

Hearing this, Ansel's face showed a hint of sadness and sorrow. He bit his lips tightly and said in a slightly low voice:

"I really can't continue to waste my time aimlessly like this. My sister is anxiously waiting for me to come back..."

Carola, who was standing by, knew the pain and helplessness that the man in front of her was going through, and couldn't help but feel pity for him. She stared at Ansel silently and asked softly:

"Well... maybe in a few days, we will set out to hunt the Savage Jaw Dragon. If you still can't find a suitable partner by then, are you willing to join our small team?"

Ansel suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Carolla in disbelief and asked doubtfully:

"Oh? Carola, are you planning to team up with others to hunt down that ferocious and extremely fierce Brute Jaw Dragon so soon? But as far as I know, you just escaped from the hands of those brutal and cunning goblins not long ago, right?"

Obviously, the elf boy still mistakenly believed that Corolla, like him, had also survived that thrilling escape.

Corolla subconsciously reached out and scratched her cheek, then shifted her gaze to the side and replied in a slightly unnatural tone:

"Well... Actually that's not the case. Besides me, Alan will also be participating in this hunting operation..."

Hearing this, Ansel's eyes widened and he stared at Corolla in astonishment:

"Alan??"

Carola's delicate face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly and said softly:

"Well, actually, I just came here to buy some daily necessities. After buying everything, I will return to the nest..."

Hearing this, Ansel's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief:

"…Uh, well, haven't you ever thought about taking the opportunity to escape?"

Although the young elf had never witnessed the female hunter in action, with his keen observation and ability to sense the aura of various creatures, he could at least roughly judge her level of strength.

He knew very well that if this woman really wanted to escape from here, no one would be able to stop her except Dora and the female goblin priest.

Facing Ansel's question, Carola bit her lips tightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment: "..."

Just like that, the two people looked at each other silently, the air around them seemed to freeze, and they fell into an awkward silence.

After a while, Corolla slowly raised her eyes, and her gaze happened to meet the elf boy's eyes which were as clear and transparent as a clear spring.

At that moment, she suddenly felt an inexplicable urge in her heart, and the desire to completely put aside all her concerns and be honest became stronger and stronger. So, as if she had made up her mind, she spoke in a firm but somewhat helpless tone:

"I...I don't want to run away anymore. It feels good to live with Notis and the others...Besides, I really like that place..."

As she continued to speak, her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible.

At the same time, the female hunter's head drooped lower and lower, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. At this moment, she felt that she had no face to face anyone.

After hearing the news, Ansel did not show excessive surprise, but just said softly:

"So this is ah......"

The young elf boy clearly remembered that during the time in the goblin's lair, those slaves did get along quite harmoniously with each other.

Although Ansel didn't know why the female hunter in front of him maintained such a good relationship with the goblins, he did not have any prejudice or discrimination against her because of this.

Just as she could calmly accept the forbidden love between herself and her sister, the elf boy thought that he could also understand her actions.

This was not only because they had had close "contact" experiences before, but more importantly, deep down in his heart, Ansel actually envied their courage to face their true feelings bravely and break free from social and moral constraints.

After a short silence, Ansiel was the first to speak and break the silence:

"So Alan...he decided to go hunt that ferocious Brute Jaw Dragon. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to compete and become the undisputed overlord of this forest?"

However, Carola shook his head slightly and denied it. "That's not the case. From what I know, he seems to be planning to make some strange weapons, which require precious materials such as the sharp teeth and hard scales of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon."
