Chapter 78: Goblin in the forest (middle)

Red Brownfur' is a goblin bear. As a goblin-like creature, having a name and a surname reflects its rather extraordinary experience.

In his early years, Rhett Brownfur lived in a touring circus. It's in the circus, um... how to say it, it's an "actor", like those tigers, lions, bears "actors".

The name of the circus is 'Boiled Pears with Wine'. To be honest, it is not a well-known name. But there is no way, who makes the circus owner like to eat this thing.

Rhett Brownfur is not known for his memory. The ten years in the circus have made him forget his previous life completely. It only remembered that there were many mountains, trees, and many stones in the place where it lived before, and there was not only one goblin bear, but so many, two hands and toes that could not be counted.

Of course, the shorter goblin cousins ​​are more numerous, and more dazzling. When the food is not enough, they also eat those short cousins, and use the method of drawing lots to decide. The goblins who are selected can only "voluntarily" jump into the soup pot and take a transparent hot bath. But to be honest, those goblin cousins ​​don't taste as good, far less delicious than lizards.

Rhett Brownfur likes to eat lizards, especially the ones that change color.

Then one day, when Rhett was looking for food, he accidentally fell into a trap. It was hungry for two days in the trap. On the third day, several humans came from the trap, and one of them threw it into the trap. A piece of jerky, after Rhett ate the jerky, he was groggy and didn't know anything. When he woke up again, it came to this circus called 'Pear Boiled in Wine'.

In the circus, Rhett Brownfur learned to dance with bears under a whip and a stick, follow a tiger in a ring of fire, put on funny makeup with orcs and fight with a stick, and, Common. Because if he didn't speak Common, Rhett would have nothing to eat and a whip.

The name Reed Brown was given to him by the owner of the circus. "Reed" was the name of a dog raised by the previous owner, and "Brown" was because his whole body was brown.

In fact, most goblin bears have brown hair, so 'brown hair' is still a common name.

The boss will give Rhett 20 copper coins as salary every month. He doesn't know whether the money is more or less. Anyway, he has never seen it. Because every time the salary is paid, the boss will calculate with Rhett the cost of meals, accommodation, tuition, and so on.

After each calculation, Rhett will find that after deducting the salary, it still owes the boss a lot of money. And no matter how hard it worked, it would owe more and more money, so much so that Rhett was a little afraid of the day when the paycheck came every month.

Among the many expenses, the tuition fee is not the fee for learning the common language, but the tuition fee for dancing with the bear. Because it is too stupid, even when the female bear named 'Angel' can dance ballroom dance, it has not learned.

So every time Rhett performed, the female bear needed to dance with him. More than once, he stepped on the thick paws of 'Angel' while dancing, but the female bear did not bite him. The she-bear was nice to him, of course, maybe because she had an iron cover over her mouth.

Because of this, Rhett had an indescribable relationship with the female bear called 'Angel'. It's nothing, anyway, they all have the word 'bear' in their race.

Originally, Rhett thought his life would go on like this - working, acting, and occasionally secretly dating Angel. Although more and more debts are owed, the boss will not urge it to repay the money, so Reid is quite satisfied with this kind of life.

But the orc broke it all. Rhett has always been afraid of the orc. Although it is a bear goblin, it is also tall and big, and its physique is not much worse than that of the orc, but it can't even look at the guy directly.

Although the orc will also act as a clown like Rhett and do some funny actions, but when he fights with Rhett with a wooden stick, it is more like a fight than a show, so that Rhett Often in the audience laughing and being beaten all over by orcs. And the orc's eyes were full of indifference, and the indifference made Reid feel cold in his heart.

Everyone knew that the orc was dangerous, so once the show was over, the boss's human bodyguards would shackle the orc and put him in a cage.

No one would think that the orc could open the shackles by himself, and then escape from the cage made of stainless steel. This is unlikely to happen. But sometimes, the more impossible things seem, the more likely they are in practice.

When the escaped orc was discovered, he had killed three human bodyguards with a spiked candlestick and released many beasts in the cage, including Rhett. Flames, smoke, screaming humans and beasts, the whole circus was a mess.

Rhett didn't want to run very much at first, but Angel ran away. He wanted to chase him, but lost in the panic.

Leaving the circus, Rhett can only make a living by himself. However, it is not always possible to find food in the wild, so it sometimes goes to some human villages to steal things at night. Grab a few chickens, steal a sheep, or take away the piping hot apple pie that's sitting under the window.

But Rhett's size predestined him not to be a qualified thief. Even with the cover of night, he was often found and chased by humans. Sometimes Reid will fight back and fight those humans when he is in a hurry. Thanks to the experience of the circus, Reid will use a wooden stick, and it is not bad, so sometimes it will beat the pursuers everywhere.

Reid was able to defeat the villagers in those villages, but in the face of human adventurers, his skills were not enough. More importantly, it has always fought alone, while those human adventurers mostly fought together.

What should I do if I can't fight but can't escape? Rhett can only throw away the big stick and kneel on the ground to express his surrender. This action has been used countless times in circus performances, so he is very skilled when doing it, like flowing clouds and water.

Rhett begged those adventurers to spare his life in quite fluent common language, and said that he could be their slave, as long as they took care of the food. And those adventurers also spared its life as it wished.

This is not surprising. A goblin bear who can speak common language, can communicate, and kneel down to beg for mercy is really a rare commodity. If you kill it directly, it will be too wasteful.

Rhett originally hoped that he could be sold to the circus again, where he was familiar with the work and did it with ease, at least more skilled than a thief, but those adventurers didn't do it.

They trained it to join the team of adventurers called 'Hunting Horn'. Red likes their team's name, at least better than 'Pears in Wine'.

In the team, Reid is responsible for defense and attack. Its weapons are a heavy mace and a fan-shaped shield that covers half of its body. If the captain makes it go forward, it will move forward. If the captain makes it go back, it will go back. Rhett's advantages are not many, but obedience can definitely be counted as one. Unlike the orc, life in the circus taught him to obey.

Reid has been working in the adventurer team of 'Hunting Horn' for five or six years. His fighting skills have become more and more exquisite, but he has also added a lot of scars.

To be honest, Rhett doesn't like being an adventurer, not at all. This job is too dangerous, many old faces of the team have passed away, and then some new faces have been added~www.readwn.com~ Even the captain has been changed once.

If possible, it still wants to go back to 'wine boiled pears', eat well, dress warmly, and although it can't get wages, at least its life is stable.

Although Red did earn a lot of gold coins as an adventurer, he had nowhere to spend his money. Rhett isn't human, he's just a tall, ugly goblin bear, and Rhett can't go anywhere without his fellow adventurers.

......

At this time, Rhett Brownfur was sitting under the oak tree, nibbling on a roasted rabbit left over from the previous two days, while recalling the old days. There were many goblin cousins ​​around, and they looked at Reid eagerly. Whenever Reid threw out the bones that had eaten up the meat, there was a fight and row.

"[Goblin Language] Human, human!" A scream from a distance interrupted Rhett's leisurely breakfast, and a goblin cousin ran towards it in a panic, shouting, "Human, here it is; Humans, kill goblins!"

Why did those militiamen come at this time, Rhett was a little puzzled. In previous years, the humans usually came when the corn was about to mature to prevent the goblins from looting.

"How many humans?" Reid asked subconsciously.

"One!" replied the goblin cousin who ran back, "killed a lot of goblins." It snapped its fingers and counted laboriously, "killed three, no, five, no, four goblins!"

Heh, even a human dare to come here to act wild? Reid sneered in his heart. There are more than 50 goblins on one's side and it is such a skilled bear goblin, but there is only one person on the opposite side.

So, Rhett decided to teach this daring human being a good lesson, telling him that goblins are not easy to bully!
