Green Monster Epic

"Try this!! It tastes great!!"

In Mansha City's bustling snack street, a spirited female hobgoblin, resembling a gnome but as tall as an ogre, held several skewers of grilled mutton in her hand, enthusiastically recommending them to a handsome dark elf beside her, her face radiating youthful energy.

"…"

The young and handsome dark elf male, faced with the meat skewer offered to his mouth, didn't mind that the top of the skewer had been bitten twice by the hobgoblin female. He opened his mouth and tore off a piece of the quickly grilled, fragrant meat.

"Hmm, not bad indeed!! But still not as good as your tribe's craftsmanship!!"

The dark elf chewed seriously a few times, carefully savoring the meat skewer, and gave an objective answer.

"Of course, when it comes to barbecue techniques, none of the stallholders on this street can compare to our tribe's chefs."

The hobgoblin female proudly raised her head, confidently said, her voice reaching the ears of several chefs who were grilling and cooking snacks around, drawing a displeased look from them.

"Hmph!!"

The hobgoblin female glanced at these guys with a proud and arrogant look, her contempt undisguised.

"You've been in the city for two or three months now, when are you planning to go back?"

The dark elf, Drizzt, looked fondly at the innocent hobgoblin female. If he didn't know her true identity, he probably wouldn't have imagined that such a hobgoblin, with her emotions so easily displayed and without any anxiety, would be a powerful legendary expert, and also a top-tier peak legendary expert in the wilderness.

"Am I not pleasing you by staying in the city to keep you company?"

The Green Field tribe's precious jewel, the elder beloved and admired by the tribe - Lady Cole, upon hearing Drizzt's question, her originally cheerful expression suddenly sank, and she looked at Drizzt coquettishly, questioning him.

"Of course I want you to be with me, but I came to this city on a mission. I can only spare two or three days a month to see you. The rest of the time you're alone, and I'm afraid you'll feel lonely!!"

Drizzt stretched out his slender right hand, gently brushed away the bangs on Cole's forehead, and said with heartache, "And you've been away from the tribe for a long time. If something happens to your tribe and they can't find you, I'm afraid it won't be good!!"

He and Cole were different in race and status. Drizzt also understood that if they wanted to be together, they would probably have to go through a lot of obstacles and setbacks. Therefore, he also hoped that the relationship between the two could be exposed later, so that he could have more time to prepare.

There was no other way, Drizzt really liked this carefree hobgoblin legendary girl who showed her joys, sorrows, and preferences. He didn't know why, but when he first met Cole, Drizzt, who had not been very interested in matters of love between men and women, felt his heart suddenly jump and surge for the first time, and he could no longer see anything else but this hobgoblin in his eyes.

Until now, Drizzt still remembered the picture of Cole's clear and beautiful pair of green pupils looking over, with a bright smile on her lips as she walked towards him. Every time he thought of this scene, he could still feel the trembling and surging passion in his heart, rippling through his body.

And what made Drizzt feel very fortunate was that the object of his affection - the hobgoblin expert Cole, seemed to have the same throbbing feeling as him. She walked directly to Drizzt, stretched out a pair of hands that were not delicate, even a little rough, and took the initiative to introduce herself: "Hello, my name is Cole, can I know your name?"

"Hello, beautiful lady, I am Drizzt from Corlima Town…"

From then on, the two could no longer cut off the entangled threads of love between them. Even later, when the town guard of Ted Town sent him to Mansha City, allowing him to study the legendary expertise of rangers at the Oak Church headquarters, trying to gradually alienate them through the barrier of time and distance.

But the result was not ideal. Lady Cole, who had a detached status in the Green Field tribe, would always sneak into Mansha City to meet with Drizzt. The barrier of time and distance not only did not alienate their relationship, but because of their mutual longing, made that strand of affection become more intense and intoxicating.

"It's okay, with my teacher sitting in the Northern Territory, where would any ignorant guy dare to provoke our tribe!!"

Hearing her lover think of her, Cole's gloomy cheeks regained a bright smile, and she said nonchalantly while continuing to savor the meat skewers in her hand.

"And let me tell you, on the territory of our Mur Fortress, there is also a dragon pretending to be a hobgoblin or a troll. If there is any emergency, that dragon will definitely not sit idly by."

Cole's eyes revealed a bit of slyness. In order to spend more time with her partner, she rarely used her brain, thinking about the possible situation in Mur Fortress.

"Okay."

Seeing Cole's firm attitude, Drizzt didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue. After all, if she stayed in the city for a longer time, he could see her a few more times and spend more time together. And with his current progress in cultivation, it shouldn't be long before he masters the existing legendary expertise. By then, he will have completed the task of advanced studies and can return to the Northern Territory with Cole.

The two strolled aimlessly in the city, and they would go up to learn about and taste any novel things and objects they saw. Even though they had already visited every corner and every beautiful scene in this city, as long as they had each other by their side, they felt that everything was so interesting.

It wasn't until night fell, and Drizzt, who only had one day of rest, needed to return to the temple to report, that Cole reluctantly sent him to the entrance of the temple, watching Drizzt's figure disappear into the temple.

The reluctance in Cole's eyes lingered for a long time, and the snacks in her hand finally lost their taste and could not arouse her slightest interest. She was in a daze in front of the temple like a gazing statue.

"Who??"

However, although she seemed to be in a daze, she was, after all, a peak legendary expert. When someone approached Cole within a range of tens of meters, Cole immediately noticed the approach of the other party, and her eyes were instantly filled with icy coldness, sweeping over.

"Elder Cole, it's me."

A figure broke away from the shadow plane, revealing its original ogre face. It was Mopti, one of the tribe's resident members in Mansha City, responsible for collecting and transmitting intelligence.

"How did you know I was here?"

Kou'er had some impression of this earth spirit. The last time she was recuperating in the city, she had, under Allen's lead, met with the tribe's big and small leaders and supervisors in the city.

"…Elder, I am, after all, the supervisor of the intelligence system. If I couldn't even find out about this, wouldn't that mean I've failed in my duty?"

Mopti gave a bitter smile, then answered with a sheepish expression.

However, in his heart, there were still a few words he didn't dare to say: With the two of you flirting so openly during the day, wandering around the city without concealing your identities, unless someone was blind, how could they not know you were there?!

"Oh, that's true."

Kou'er thought about it and agreed, but then she immediately reacted: "You didn't come all this way just to find me, did you?"

"Exactly."

Mopti's expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly: "The tribe has sent down the chieftain's order, instructing us to find Elder Kou'er's whereabouts and tell you that after receiving this order, you should return immediately."

"Ah?"

Kou'er suddenly felt a little flustered. She hadn't told her teacher about sneaking out this time. Now that he had discovered her truancy, she was afraid she would be scolded again upon her return.

Even though she was now a Legendary High-Rank, Kou'er still maintained the pure affection of her early years when facing Allen. Especially when she had done something wrong, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Does Teacher need me for something?"

"I don't know about that. The tribe only sent this one sentence; I know nothing else."

Mopti shook his head and said.

"…Okay, I understand."

Kou'er was dejected, all the beautiful thoughts in her heart gone, replaced by a series of rapid drumbeats echoing in her mind with her heartbeat.

"Teacher is so anxious to find me, could it be that he knows about my affair with Tristan??"

"If that's the case, what am I going to do!!"

Various thoughts tumbled in Kou'er's mind, preventing her from calming down for a long time, even leaving the earth spirit beside her neglected.

Kou'er had never dared to tell Allen about her relationship with Tristan. Knowing Allen's temperament, if he found out that she had formed a bond with someone from another race, he would probably be furious and might even turn Tristan into mincemeat on the spot.

Although Allen seemed to always give Kou'er, this girl, enough freedom, and gave Kou'er extra tolerance in the tribe, allowing Kou'er to do what she liked. But for some reason, Kou'er always had the illusion of being bound by Allen, always feeling that when it came to her important choices, her teacher would forcefully make choices for her.

Although, until now, it seemed that Allen had never really done this, Kou'er just had this feeling in her heart, lingering and unshakeable.

After dismissing Mopti, Kou'er was uneasy. She returned to her rented room, left a letter for Tristan, and then, full of melancholy, hurried towards the tribe.

The Moor Fortress was decorated with lanterns and colored hangings. Various brightly colored lanterns were hung on the city walls, streets, and buildings, and the goblins in the city were filled with joyous smiles.

When Kou'er rushed back, covered in dust, seeing this festive scene, the worries and sorrows of the journey seemed to dissipate in an instant.

"Hey, kid, come here!!"

Diving down and landing on the south city wall, Kou'er directly pointed at a goblin warrior on duty on the wall, beckoned, and shouted.

"Elder Kou'er."

Faced with this female goblin powerhouse descending from the sky, no warrior from the Greenwild Tribe would fail to recognize her. The goblin warrior trotted over to Kou'er, greeted her with a smile on his face.

"Is there some happy event in the city? It's so lively?"

Kou'er asked with a curious expression.

"Elder Kou'er, don't you know? Our tribe has another Legendary powerhouse!!"

The bear goblin warrior looked at Kou'er in surprise, reporting loudly and proudly.

"Ah?? Someone else has advanced to Legendary? Who could it be?"

After hearing this news, a sincere joy immediately appeared on Kou'er's face. Although she herself had no desire for power, her feelings for the tribe and for her teacher were beyond any goblin's doubt, otherwise she wouldn't have suppressed her own nature and stayed in the tribe for decades.

"Could it be that little Albad has advanced?"

Finally, Kou'er suddenly thought of Allen's sudden care and importance towards Albad in the past two years, and seemed to sense something.

"That's right, it's Archmage Albad. He's the first Legendary Archmage among our Northern natives!!"

When the bear goblin warrior mentioned Albad's name, his eyes naturally revealed a look of admiration and envy.

"Oh!!"

Finally knowing what had happened in the tribe, Kou'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her worries along the way were just her scaring herself.

With a sense of reassurance in her heart, Kou'er, no longer worried, regained her composure. She casually waved her hand, signaling the bear goblin warrior to continue his duty, while she herself set her sights on the direction of Allen's castle, stepped on the city wall, and leaped out.

"Teacher, I'm back!!"

Sensing Kou'er's familiar aura flying towards his castle defense line from afar, Allen, who was sitting in his castle waiting for the celebration to begin, couldn't help but walk to the window. He was spotted by the sharp-eyed Kou'er, who was still flying in the air, and her clear greeting had already reached Allen's ears.

"Hmph! You still know to come back?"

Allen said unhappily, putting on a stinky face and making an opening, letting Kou'er fly in through the window.

"Hehe, I was feeling stuffy staying in the city, can't I go out for a stroll?"

Kou'er took the initiative to come over, grabbed one of Allen's arms, and began to act coquettishly in a soft voice.

It was only in front of Allen, her teacher, that Kou'er would unreservedly show the posture of a young girl. In her heart, her teacher was always her strongest support, and she would always be her teacher's dearest disciple.

Of course, this also had a great relationship with Kou'er's pure nature. Otherwise, any other Legendary, after experiencing hundreds of years of time, could naturally make such a posture. And this was also the reason why Allen especially loved this disciple of his, in front of her, he could always find some of the pure emotions of being a goblin.

"Go out for a stroll? Weren't you going out to tryst with your lover??"

Allen teased in a strange tone, causing the expression on Kou'er's face to freeze, and she looked at Allen awkwardly.

"Ah! Teacher, you, you know everything?"

"What did you think??"
