Chapter 188: Teacher Benny

The "Leiden Post" where Xiao Miao and A Zhi worked, is the largest circulation newspaper in the Alfheim region, and the most popular column among readers in all sections of this newspaper is nothing more than anecdotes and adventures. story.
In order to collect writing materials in this area, Xiao Miao, A Chi and a newspaper editor named
Benny
are stationed at Red Tomato Pub to ask adventurers from south to north to find out about their personal experiences or the strange things they have witnessed. .
If the story is exciting enough, Xiao Miao and others will be happy to ask the narrator to drink ale-this expense can be reimbursed by the newspaper editor Ms. Miranda Fisher.
On the weekend morning, Joan followed Xiao Miao and A Chi into the "Red Tomato Tavern", walked through the noisy drunk crowd, and came to a long table near the window. From afar, they saw a dress and temperament. Different men.
The man looked shorter than Ah Che, like a seven or eight-year-old child, but dressed in a pretty style-wearing a peaked cap, wearing a plaid short trench coat, and holding a yellow 'S pipe is sitting at the table and burying his head in writing something.
"Hi ~ Teacher Benny, today I want to introduce you to a young friend."
Xiao Miao waved her hand and greeted the gentleman who was quite a scholar.
The man raised his head and his eyes fell naturally on Joan who was immediately behind Xiao Miao.
At the same time, Joanne was also looking at the "Teacher Benny". Although he had already guessed that he was the "Kobold" Mr. Havel had said, he couldn't help being surprised when his eyes touched his face.
In the area of ​​Yalfheim, "Kobold" is considered to be a relatively common sub-human race, with a much larger number than catmen or white mice, but this does not mean that people can often see kobolds.
Most of the creatures that are said to hate sunlight live in the "underground world", such as the deep and terrifying "dark area", the pits that are not seen every day, and of course the city's sewers.
The kobolds living in the city are not even in the same position as the "white ratmen" like Achi.
In the eyes of most human beings, kobolds are a group of evil villains that are evil, lewd, cunning, and dirty. Groups like wild dogs are rushing through the dark corners of the city, often breaking into the human community in the face of gangsters. If you are not engaged in criminal activities like theft, robbery, kidnapping, you are planning a more evil conspiracy.
Even in a city of Leiden that is open-minded and advocating a compatible immigration city, the reputation of kobolds is enough to keep decent people away.
Despite widespread discrimination by humans and other highly civilized races such as elves, dwarves, and gnomes, kobolds are never self-serving.
In fact, most of these thin creatures have a strong self-esteem and vanity that is inversely proportional to their size.
They even refused to recognize the insulting title of "Kobold". They thought they were descended from ancient dragons, had far more noble blood than humans, and insisted on using "Dragon Language" as their mother tongue-although they Most of the pronunciations are not standard enough, it sounds more like a puppy barking.
Joan had only seen illustrations of kobolds in the book before. At this moment, he saw living kobolds. After comparison, he found that the illustration was obviously ugly.
In fact, kobolds are really not bragging. From a close look, it is not difficult to find that they have distinctive half-dragon characteristics: their bodies and limbs look like humans, and there is a reptile tail unique to the hips, and the skin surface is covered with delicate dark Red scales, facial features resembling baby dragons, and a pair of small horns on their heads.
Since even the lizardmen are known as "dragon descendants", the kobolds, who are more like dragons than the lizardmen, certainly have more reason to believe that noble dragon blood is flowing in their bodies. It's just that the kobolds are too weak, and the fighting power is the same level as the goblins. Even if they are really dragon blood creatures, the pride of not having the strength to back them will be laughed at.
"Good morning, lad," Kobold Benny smiled kindly at Joan, and his sharp eyes looked around him, "Let me guess, you are a mage, studying at Leiden College, right? ?"
"How did you guess?" Joan opened the chair and sat across from teacher Benny, looking at him curiously.
"Your age and temperament indicate the status of students. From the perspective of dress and appearance, your family is not rich. You rarely come to such places as pubs, but there are several things in your body that exude magical fluctuations. Poor students can Can’t afford these magic devices, so you can see that most of you are good at using magic."
The kobold answered calmly.
"You are amazing!"
Joanne couldn't help admiring the other party's meticulous observation and careful reasoning.
"It's nothing remarkable, if you stay in a tavern all year round and observe the speeches and behaviors of various people, you can also exercise a keen observation." The kobold replied with a smile.
"Ms. Benny is the oldest editor and columnist in our newspaper. He is responsible for writing anecdotes, and Xiao Miao and I are his assistants, helping him collect materials after running all day."
Ache sat diagonally across from Joan and raised his hand to greet the waiter with three glasses of ale.
"Actually, Mr. Benny is not only a newspaper editor and columnist, but also an inventor."
Sitting in the chair next to Joan, Xiao Miao threw out her constricted manner, seeming to have no deep meaning.
"But seriously, compared to the pen stick, his old man seems a bit lame in the latter career, and the invented gadgets will always have unexpected failures."
"Ashamed, since my third bombardment of the ceiling of the newspaper building, Ms. Miranda has not allowed me to invent experiments in the office and sent me to the tavern to hang out."
Ms. Banny sneered at her hands, and did not mind exposing "black history".
"It's good to ask me, after all, the safety of the life of the newspaper colleagues is more important than the teacher's personal hobby!" Xiao Miao raised his glass, "Come and have a drink for our new partner Joan Vida!"
Joan raised his glass blankly, wondering how he became a partner of the "trio of cats, mice, and dogs"?
This is not the life I want...
The ale was full of flavor, and Joan poured half of the glass at a stretch, his mouth was covered with delicate white foam, and his face was slightly hot.
"I blushed after a sip, you really lack exercise!"
Xiao Miao chuckled and pulled out her handkerchief, helping Joan wipe away the wine from the corner of her mouth. Her mouth was not forgiving, but the actual action showed that she also had a tender and considerate side.
Seeing that Joan's drinking volume was not good, Xiao Miao no longer forced him to drink, took out a deck of cards and patted it on the table, and greeted Achi and Mr. Benny to play cards.
"Guys! Get the cards!"
"Good luck, eat chicken tonight!"
