Chapter 41 The Fairy in the River

If he wants to solve these mysteries, Joan must try to have a frank talk with the two aquatic goblins. However, he is neither good at negotiating nor understand the language used by the goblins, so he cannot solve this problem with his own ability. Difficulties, had to go home to seek help from Kandy and Mira.

At the thought of asking someone for help, even if the other party was her friends and family, Qiao An couldn't help sighing, and her mood became extremely melancholy.

"Mr. Vader, what should we do next?" Tom was full of hesitation, "What just happened...do you want to tell my uncle?"

"Don't be in a hurry to find Mr. Flint just yet, it's not over yet."

"Ah?! It's not over yet..." Tom's face was ashen.

Joan glanced at Tom and said calmly, "Leave the rest to me. You go back and change your wet clothes first, so as not to catch a cold and get sick."

The dwarf nodded gratefully, and then asked, "What else can I do for you?"

"Just stay in the workshop and wait for me to come back."

"Oh, yes! You have to come back soon!" Tom seemed frightened by the goblin, and his anxiety and insecurity were written all over his face.

Joan hurried home and found that the lights in Kandy's room had been turned off, so she went back to her bedroom, took a pen to record the adventure in the forging workshop tonight, and then took this paper to the door of the next bedroom, hesitating for a few seconds , finally knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Kandy came out sleepily, wearing only a loose robe, revealing her clean arms and white feet.

"What's the matter, Joan, you came to see me so late..."

Joan silently handed over the note.

Kandy yawned, took the note and opened it to read, his eyes lit up immediately, and he lost all sleepiness.

"Meet the fairy again?"

Joan nodded.

"You guy, you met three goblins in less than a month, don't you have some kind of special physique that makes it easy to get in touch with goblins?" Conti looked at Joan meaningfully.

Joan himself felt strange. In the first twelve years of his life, he only saw a little fairy that looked like an insect, and he only saw it from a distance by the pond, but from this year to now, he has met the little tree spirit Mira in just one month. With two unknown aquatic goblins, it's really a bit abnormal.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things, let's go to Mira quickly, maybe she knows the two troublemakers who live in the river."

Kandy ran back to the bedroom like a wind, put on his coat quickly, and dragged Joan to the woods behind the mountain.

When passing by grandpa's wooden house, Joan motioned Kandy to walk lightly so as not to disturb the old man. Candy stuck out her tongue, held back a smile and tiptoed into the woods. Not long after, she came to the black oak tree, called out Mira, and told the strange things that Joan encountered at the riverside tonight in the wood language.

Joan was listening to the conversation between Kandy and Mira, and suddenly came up with an idea: Judging from the frequency of encounters with goblins during this time, it is necessary to spend a lot of effort to learn the language of the goblins, and it may not be useful in the future.

At this time, Kandy and Mira paused their conversation, and looked at Joan with both eyes, their faces looking a little dignified.

"Mila and I just had a discussion. The two green-haired goblins you met by the river are probably 'Nickies'." Conti said.

"Nick the Fairy..." Joan muttered to himself, the name was unfamiliar to him, "Nick the Fairy, is it a good fairy or a bad fairy?"

"Nickies are difficult to classify with simple criteria like 'good or bad' or 'good and evil'. These goblins living in water have different concepts of good and evil from our humans. They call themselves ponds, rivers, lakes, and springs. They like to stay in beautiful, quiet and peaceful places. If some kind of creature tries to destroy their ideal living environment, such as ferocious beasts and immigrants who burn forests and reclaim land, they will be regarded as Great enemy, try every means to expel them."

After listening to Kandy's explanation, Joan came to a realization. Nicki’s habits are similar to some extremist druids who advocate the state of nature and oppose industrial civilization. Fortunately, the "harvest ring" to which Conti belongs is not so extreme, and belongs to the "reformist" of the druid order. While committed to maintaining the natural ecology, it does not exclude the progress of civilization.

"Since nixes like to live in clean and natural places, why do they run to our human towns and settle down, and make their home on the river beach where the factories and workshops are densest? Isn't this against their nature?" Joan puzzled ask.

Kandy smiled wryly and spread her hands: "I can't figure out what they think, so it's necessary to talk to them. Mira thinks so too."

"I have no objection to negotiating with Nick, but you'd better be careful. Those two fairies are good at using charm spells, and if you don't pay attention, they will become puppets manipulated by them." Joan solemnly reminded Kandy.

"In fact, almost all fey creatures are good at charm spells, but some goblins know how to use their power carefully, such as Mira, who never provokes others actively, while some goblins are more willful, such as those two nicks, who abused spells to make troubles. Playing pranks without thinking about the consequences.” Conti smiled lightly, his eyes brimming with confidence, “We Druids often walk in the mountains and forests, and it is inevitable that we will meet mischievous fairies, and over time we have formed a set of experience against elves’ charm spells. It's not that easy for those two nicks to fool me."

"That's good." Joan touched the back of her neck. Although he couldn't tell the reason, what happened just now showed that the deformed eyeball on the back of his neck seemed to be able to help him resist the goblin's charm spell.

It was already past midnight, and Joan was worried that Tom, who was staying alone in the workshop, would be controlled by the goblin again, so he hurried back with Candy and Mira.

"Mr. Vader, you are finally back!" Tom breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anything new?" Joan asked him.

"It's very quiet, it's a little scary." The young dwarf was terrified, with lingering fear on his face.

Candy couldn't help laughing when he saw his suspicious look. Tom immediately cast a look of embarrassment, and accidentally saw the pointed-eared, green-haired, naked little girl next to Candy, her eyes widened suddenly, and she stammered and yelled.

"Mr. Wei, Mr. Vader, goblin, goblin! The hammer is on top! Could it be that two goblins are not enough, why is there another one!"

"Calm down Tom, Meera is my friend."

"Oh? It turns out that you have a goblin friend, this is... really worthy of being a mage!" Tom looked at Joan with admiration.

Joan didn't want to listen to this startled dwarf's nagging, so he told him to wait in the workshop, and took Kandy and Mira back to the bank of the Drin River by himself.
