Every time Nan Xiao asked a question, the little goblin's face turned paler.

"You... If it weren't for your Dragon Clan, how could our village have become like this?!"

"My parents were taken to the mine by you, and they haven't come back yet. I heard, I heard... none of those who went there came back alive, even the son of the village chief died!"

"You always send people to the village to arrest people. Of course, we can only hide in the house and dare to come out in the middle of the night... The dragon clan owes us so many lives, why don't we allow us to take revenge?!"

"You mean that the dragon clan first sent people to the village to capture the goblins and go to their mines to mine ore?"

Nan Xiao frowned, and exchanged a glance with the man.

"Since none of the captured goblins have ever returned, how do you know that the village chief's son is dead?"

"That mine originally belonged to us goblins, and it was something that the Dragon Clan took from us!"

When Nan Xiao saw the man loosen his grip on the goblin's neck, his face grew colder.

"Do you have proof?"

"Of course, each of our households has a certificate of ore mining over the years!"

"As for the village chief's son... the village chief quietly followed the Dragon Clan to the mine, saw his son's body from a distance, brought back the relics, and told us himself."

The night was thick, without the light of the torches, the alley was pitch black, like a wild beast with its mouth open.

Nan Xiao followed the man out of the house and walked towards the residence of the village chief that the little goblin had told them about.

"Do you think what the little goblin said is true?"

"It should be true. Both goblins and dragons have well-developed mining industries. It is not uncommon for them to seize mining industries and capture labor on marginal planets."

Nan Xiao tried his best to widen his eyes, trying to see the road in front of him clearly.

The road in the alley is rough, and there are slippery moss on the stones. In addition, the night vision ability of human beings is completely incomparable with other races, and they will fall if they are not careful.

The NPC walking in front of him seemed to be waiting for him intentionally, walking slowly.

"The village chief's residence is halfway across the village. The road here is not easy to walk. You can grab my sleeve."

Nan Xiao hesitated, stretched out his hand and pinched a small piece of the opponent's cuff.

Take two steps.

"Does your wrist hurt?"

Nan Xiao was stunned for a moment: "No..."

"Then how do you hold it so lightly?"

The man turned his head to look at him, the dim moonlight outlined smooth cheek lines, and the dark golden pupils seemed to absorb the moonlight, giving off a shimmering luster.

The bony hand hooked back lightly, holding his wrist instead, avoiding the red mark left by the hemp rope.

Before Nan Xiao's face heated up, the other party had already looked away and his voice was low.

"Follow me closely."

They tried their best to walk along remote alleys, detoured for a long time, and finally arrived at the residence of the village chief.

Now the whole village is in a panic, all the goblins have been searching for their traces outside, and of course no one is in the house.

"I'm guarding outside, you go in and look for clues, if someone approaches—"

"If someone approaches, you can imitate my cub's cry. I am more sensitive to the cub's cry now, and I might not be able to hear it with other sounds."

Ever since raising his family's cub, sometimes in his dreams, the silver-white cub is sitting on the bed, "giaogiaogiao" with his head up and his mouth open.

"Do you know what the little dragon cub is called?"

Nan Xiao was not at all worried that the NPC in the game would not know about this, so he gently pushed open the door and walked in. He waited for half a moment without waiting for a reply, and looked back curiously.

He saw a suspicious blush on the tip of the man's jade-colored ear, and this blush quickly turned into the color of agate stone under his gaze.

"...I know." The other party's voice was also a little hoarse, "Go quickly."

When Nan Xiao entered the room, he didn't dare to turn on the light, so he could only take out a candle and light it. With the weak candlelight, he saw a portrait of the dead on the table at first sight.

The goblin on the portrait looks very young, he should be the son of the village chief who passed away, but——

Isn't this the profiteer who scammed their starship ticket money back then, and the goblin who took the lead in turning black and white and pouring dirty water on them after the starship accident? !

That goblin Mingming was still alive and kicking a few days ago, and the death time written on the portrait is completely different.

And generally speaking, posthumous portraits are placed for memorial service, but there are no tribute incense candles on this table, and there is no sign of memorial service at all.

Nan Xiao firmly remembered the face on the portrait, and was about to look around again when he suddenly heard a low voice outside.

"Giao!"

someone is coming.

He quickly blew out the candle, ran out of the room, was dragged into the alley by the man, and ran forward.

"The time is too short, I only saw a portrait." Nan Xiao panted while running, "I just saw the goblin in the portrait on the starship a few days ago, and it didn't die at all."

"If it wasn't the little goblin who lied to us, or the village chief lied to the goblins in the village, why did he lie to everyone that his son was dead?"

"It's not sure yet. But the little goblin didn't need to lie under the circumstances at the time. We can follow the village chief to see if there are any clues—that house is unoccupied, so we can go in."

Nan Xiao sat down for a while, drank two sips of water, and his throat, which was stinging from the cold wind, felt better.

"If there are dragons coming to arrest people next time, we can also go to that mine to see—"

"Gollum".

Nan Xiao heard his stomach growl.

He hadn't eaten for most of the day, and his stomach was already empty.

The young man coughed, trying to hide it.

"The village head may be the key clue..."

"Gollum".

"What might have happened to him when he followed the Dragon Clan to the mine..."

"Gulu Gulu Gulu".

A bright red apple was handed to him, and the man's slender and beautiful knuckles carefully wiped off the dust on it, and the fragrant apple looked very bright.

"Eat?"

"……this?"

"I found it from us... I found it from the place where you and the little dragon cub were rounded up by the goblins. Is it something you bought for the little dragon cub to eat?"

"Ah."

Nan Xiao took the apple, thought for a while, took out the knife given by the system from his pocket, wiped it, and cut an apple into two pieces.

The larger piece was handed back to the man.

"We're half of us."

"I'm not hungry."

Nan Xiao insisted: "We are half of each other."

"If you want to return the gift, why don't you give me the knife."

Nan Xiao couldn't help laughing, and handed over both the knife and the apple with his almond eyes bent.

"I will give you the knife, and you have to eat the apple. Otherwise, I will apply to the system next time and get another NPC to help me perform the task."
