Chapter 224: Goblin Knight Vs Hero?
Leonhardt knew that the biggest threat to him might be the demons, but the more realistic and direct threat was the humans to the south of the basin.
To combat this, he decided to create a city, much like the dark elf outpost and growing village.
He sent Gobomir and several goblins to help Veronica, the elven mistress of the Sleepy Kobold inn, who helped him produce the Papillion wine from the sour elven wine.
Aella also planned to move to the south, knowing that Arlet had become a peaceful farming town, with the monsters in the forest used to train weak adventurers and goblins, so they no longer needed to worry.
"Phew... that man loves to overwork us."
Aella sat on the back of a wagon, her white hair blowing in the wind as they approached the south. Beside her were a pair of female ebonfire goblins trained in assassination and basic paperwork tasks. "How much longer?" Aella asked.
The older woman wearing a dark green cloak looked over at her before checking a map. "Another two hours, Miss Aella... we should be there soon." This older woman was Veronica, her creamy blonde hair tied in a neat braid.
Two of the goblins shared a glance before turning their attention back to the carriage filled with equipment, food and drink, and, of course, crates of gold for her to spruce up her new inn and bar in the trade city of Luka.
"How did he manage to con you into following him? Was it his body?" Aella teased the older elf, who didn’t respond at first but tapped her lips and smiled.
"If he offered, I would jump him in a heartbeat." Veronica wasn’t young, and she knew when to take risks. "Speaking of that, how did he get you to come with us?" She retorted, not wanting to admit her feelings and instead curious about the daughter of a rumoured battle maiden.
"The pay’s good, and he’s beautiful," Aella mumbled before leaning back and closing her eyes. "Honestly, I was getting bored at Arlet, and now he’s helping me earn a killing for our village." The thought of getting drunk off the wine brewed by the pale elves brought a smile to her face.
"True... true. Ah! It looks like we’re here."
