Choose Elf Mother, but Goblin Lair

Chapter 86: The Count’s Revenge, Goblin Slayer leads the team to kill
As Gu Chen and others left, the flowers near the courtyard became even more lush, and even directly blocked the existence of the wooden house, which was as tall as a tree.

This was exactly what Gu Chen had done to cover up his traces.

He didn't think he could hide it from the earl, but at least it could delay the situation for a while, enough for him to take Mary and the kid to a new place of residence.

At this moment, Gu Chen had already led Mary into the forest, but he didn't know that the earl had quickly received news of the death of his only son.

At noon the next day, in the classical Earl's mansion, Count Ariel, a serious-looking middle-aged man.

He was sitting on the animal skin sofa, listening to the situation reported by the adventurers, closing his eyes and feeling sad.

"Earl, His Highness Kiel has been confirmed to be missing in a residence in the suburbs."

"According to the investigation, the owner of the residence is named Mary, and she is a retired adventurer who was expelled from the country by other nobles."

"And the reason why His Highness Kiel led many of his subordinates here is probably..."

The adventurer who reported the situation paused for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face. It was obvious that he knew what Kiel was planning, but he did not dare to say it to save the earl's face.

"Haha, Lily knows! That's because my brother wants to lead someone to humiliate the widow, right? After all, he has done such dirty things once or twice!"

The earl's only daughter, Lily, said with a carefree face at this moment, not giving any face to her dead brother Kil.

After all, if he dies, Lily can inherit all her father's property and become a countess.

You can do whatever you want then!
Therefore, Lily did not feel any sympathy or sadness for this scumbag brother, but instead felt a little gloating about his misfortune.

Scumbags, things inferior to goblins, damn it, hehehe.

"To shut up!"

Earl Ariel glared angrily at his incompetent daughter, who had been laughing and playing around all day long, but then he calmed down.

After all, she was right.

It was because of my poor discipline that I raised such a scum son.

but!

No matter what, he is still his legal heir!The future count!It is absolutely not allowed to die in such a daze!
Otherwise, where should I focus my future face?

With sadness for his son's death and anger for the murderer.

The count looked at the adventurer.

"Then who is the murderer? Who is the murderer who dared to kill the earl's son?"

"Report to the Earl, it is most likely a Goblin."

"Goblin?!"

Lily suddenly became excited when she heard the goblin's name.

Ever since she didn't catch Gu Chen, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't get such a fun toy and was imprisoned as a slave herself.

"Goblin?"

When the count heard the name of this inferior monster, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Kiel was promoted to a Bronze-level adventurer not long ago, how could he not be able to defeat even one goblin! Even with so many of his subordinates here?!"

"Earl, although this result is somewhat unbelievable to you, it is based on investigation of surrounding locations and a thorough screening of the surrounding areas."

"Our adventurer guild unanimously believes that these are traces of goblins, and we don't know whether it is one or two."

The adventurer was a little embarrassed but said firmly, blocking the name of his profession.

Lily looked at her father with a determined expression and said excitedly.

"Father! This must be the cunning goblin I told you before, Gu Chen!"

The earl looked solemn and finally asked the adventurer. "Then if it is really a goblin and can kill Kil, it proves that its strength is extraordinary. How should the guild give me an explanation?"

"Earl, please rest assured that our guild's Goblin Slayer and his teammates have all returned from the Snow Country."

"Destroying goblins, they are professionals."

……

"Hey, Orkberg, do we need to hunt down a goblin as soon as we come back? This goblin is so exhausted!"

At night, beside a bonfire in a forest clearing, Goblin Slayer and others have been tasked by the count to hunt down the evil goblin suspected of killing the count's son.

It was now time to retire for the night.

The Elf Archer, a girl with long light green hair and a casual outfit, who calls herself a high elf, is tapping Goblin Slayer's armor with dissatisfaction and complaining.

"The strength of a Goblin that can kill a Bronze-level adventurer and many Black Jade adventurers cannot be underestimated. Old goblin, please stop pestering Meikimaru."

The ore Taoist priest with a white beard was provoking the elf archer as always, and the two suddenly started to quarrel.

As for the tall lizard monk on the other side, he silently added butter to the bread and ate it happily.

"Mr. Goblin Slayer, will this mission be easier? After all, there seems to be only one Goblin."

The girl priest came to Goblin Slayer with the cooked mushroom soup, handed it to him with a smile, and then looked for a topic.

"His name is Gu Chen. He is a goblin who cannot be underestimated. He can no longer be simply called 'it'."

Goblin Slayer did not take the mushroom soup, but looked at the flames and said, his eyes under the armor full of complicated emotions.

The last time he was accidentally negligent, after he dealt with the human magician, the master of the goblin lair, he was chased by Goblin Gu Chen.

In the end, he was entangled in his plants and almost died.

If the priest hadn't used some secret skill of the Earth Mother, I would have died in his hands.

Gu Chen...

Na Na said this name to himself, Goblin Slayer's eyes flashed red.

After so many years, I finally heard his name again.

I thought he had died in the cave, but he didn't...

"Hee hee, that's really strange, Mr. Goblin Slayer. Mom, Miss Tina saw the goblin named Gu Chen fall into the water with her own eyes. He was bound to die. I didn't expect it."

"Now he actually reappeared and killed the count's son."

Seeing that Goblin Slayer paid attention to her, the girl priest was very happy and continued to chat. She also recalled the time with lingering fear.

"And if Miss Tina hadn't suddenly appeared, that goblin would have continued to kill me. It was such a cruel and terrifying goblin."

"I will kill him personally this time, cut his neck directly, and separate his body and head. Only in this way can I ensure that the goblin's death is fatal."

In the long night, Goblin Slayer's tone was full of harshness.

This time he vowed to get rid of this Goblin scourge and prevent him from endangering mankind in the future.

And this moment.

the other side of the forest.

Gu Chen was having the usual master-servant pastime with Mary, trying to comfort her who was frustrated.

Suddenly I became aware of the dark forest behind me.

It seems that a group of uninvited guests have arrived.
