Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"That's right. I'm very relieved to hear that people on land know us." Devin Booker opened and closed his mouth. Although you couldn't see his expression, you could hear his satisfaction. "But we have never done this. There is no need to show respect as it is beyond my duties, it is all for a great cause.”

Ron remembered that Quest had said the same thing, but it was obviously not the same thing. There were probably some races in the world, or the individuals among them were quite united.

"So your family is responsible for expelling evil elemental creatures?" Victoria nodded, "Then your appearance here, does it mean that there are also evil elemental creatures here?"

"The defeat of my general is nothing to worry about," Devin Booker's tone showed disdain. "Although we paid a heavy price, we have driven him back to the elemental plane. The residents on the ground can rest assured."

"However, those evil ones serve a more powerful evil. We are unable to eliminate them, so we have to stay here and wait for work."

"In other words, there is a more powerful existence here enslaving your old enemy?" Ron asked.

"That's right." The triton centurion nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, but what we can do is still limited."

"Can you reveal some of the information you have?" Ron asked further, "We are also pursuing related matters now, but because it is a long time ago for us, and the changes above are very large, many of the clues have been Lost in the wind, unable to be traced.”

After that, Ron told the other party the key points about what they knew above.

"Civilization, clearance..." Devon Booker listened, before finally muttering, "How...sad."

"Actually, it's not that sad. After all, the Hailan Empire is not a good bird..." Ivy muttered.

“There is nothing sadder than evil succumbing to a greater evil.”

The triton fish man's tone trembled from time to time: "If this is really the case, what's the point of staying here for nine hundred years? The source is endless and the water flow is endless."

"We are trying to prevent this kind of thing from happening, hoping to solve the problem from the root," Ron said. "Of course, if we can rely on the power of the Freshwater Legion, we will also be very happy -"

"The Freshwater Corps is no more," Devin Booker's voice said sadly, "and the Fourth Army is no more."

"Ninety years ago, we sensed the stench of the water djinn coming from the water bodies here. While searching for it, we fell into the tricks of those cunning water djinn."

"Although we won the victory with difficulty, we also suffered heavy losses. The remaining comrades also died one after another while guarding, either because of excessive injuries or because their lives came to an end."

"Now I am alone, alone. But - I will continue this great cause until the last moment of my life!"

"As long as I still have breath, I will never let anyone disturb this place!"

When Devin Booker said this, a faint silvery glow appeared on his body, so holy.

"That!" Victoria's expression immediately changed when she saw this, "Please forgive me for asking in such an ungraceful occasion: If I wasn't dazzled just now, you should have given your body and mind to——"

"Swear, yes." Considering that the life span of Triton people is usually two hundred years, Devin Booker has undoubtedly entered middle age, but when talking about this matter, his eyes and voice remain the same firm.

"The threats we face are cunning, powerful, and unnatural. We must always be wary of their corruption; never accept gifts or favors from evil spirits or their associates, and stay true to our mission, our comrades, and our duty; I fight against the elemental planes A shield of endless terror. My blade must always be sharp, and my mind must always be clear.”

"That's it, that's it. Vigilance, loyalty, discipline," Victoria saluted Devin Booker with respect. "May the Watcher be with you, venerable paladin."

Paladin? !

Ron looked at this murloc in astonishment, with shabby clothes, unattractive appearance, and even a beer belly. Although it was wrong to judge a person by his appearance, he could not connect this murloc with a paladin.

And if he didn't misread the color of the other person's aura and heard the content of his oath correctly, then he should be a silver knight - that is, a paladin who abides by the oath of watch!

"We have never known your god, but your teachings should be similar to mine," the fishman said in response to Victoria, "If you have nothing to do, please leave - I should be able to guard this place for another nine days. In ten years, I hope that your martial arts fortune will be prosperous and the haze of this place can be swept away."

"Aren't you going to go out with us?" Ron asked, "You are alone now. If evil elements really come back, how will you respond and how will you give a warning?"

"Why don't you work with us to find out the problem behind it, and then find a solution..."

"I appreciate your kindness," Devin Booker waved his huge fish head, "But this place cannot be left unattended, and I cannot leave without authorization. As for my compatriots... If you have the chance, you can press In this way, find a mermaid tribe that believes in Ula, and they will bring news about this place to the tribe. "

"As for...between us, I have a hunch that we will meet again."

When he said the last sentence, Devin Booker finally changed the poor pronouns. Although Ron could not hear his laughter or see his smile, he always felt that the centurion was smiling when he said the last sentence.

"In that case, we will not bother you anymore." After persuading him to no avail, Ron no longer insisted. Before taking a deep breath and diving underwater again, Ron asked another question.

"The time when your legion arrived was close to the time when the Green Swamp Town above was destroyed. Have you ever seen some gems with magical power falling here?"

This was just a casual question from Ron. Now they knew that the two entrances to the underground dark river were dug by Exuri and the closer ones were the wells dug by the villagers. The remaining six gem keys had almost no chance of falling into the river.

But what surprised everyone was that Devin Booker actually nodded: "Yes, I have seen one."

"But the water giant carrying it escaped from the material plane and entered a portal."
