Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"He died in the Sunset Jungle, and his remains were not found when reinforcements arrived."

Sunset in the jungle?

Luo Xiu's heart stirred, and he thought of the skull necklace he had obtained from the goblin.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't take it out.

The old lady's health seemed unable to withstand the contrast between hope and despair; it would have been counterproductive if her husband hadn't been there.

He planned to subtly inquire about the characteristics of her husband's head while Leila was learning cooking from Oles.

Meanwhile, Oles, on the other side, seemed to have thought of something, and perked up, saying:

"Although we didn't find his remains, we did find this."

She drank half a glass of wine, slowly rose from her chair, and walked shakily to the fireplace, where she tiptoed to take a box from the fireplace.

She clutched the box to her chest as if it were a precious treasure and walked up to Luo Xiu.

The box was opened gently, revealing a delicate pocket watch inside, its surface gleaming.

Oles reached out shakily, picked up the pocket watch, and pressed it gently.

With a crisp "click," the pocket watch cover was opened.

You can see that the pocket watch inside is still ticking.

Two lines of text are clearly engraved on the inside of the watch cover.

The first line reads, "I will always love you, my dearest Oles."

Orles showed off her pocket watch like a child. She had never shown it to anyone before, and she was very happy to be able to share it with Luo Xiu.

It was as if their love had finally been proven.

"May I take a closer look at this watch?"

Luo Xiu stared blankly at the second line of text above, and then spoke.

Oles, oblivious to the change in Luo Xiu's expression, readily agreed and carefully handed the pocket watch to him, murmuring:

“Old Renhuis from town found this watch and gave it to me. You probably don’t know Old Renhuis, he’s been dead for almost 20 years…”

But Luo Xiu didn't listen to anything Ores said.

He stared intently at the second sentence on the pocket watch; the close proximity told him he wasn't mistaken.

It was a sentence that appeared to have some grammatical errors, but if translated word by word, it would be:

"This is not a war; this is a place of kinship."

A place of attachment.

It's a place of kinship again.

Luo Xiu was surprised to see this term here. What exactly is a "familiar land"?

But what shocked him even more was the sentence before that.

This is not a war.

He felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

In his mind, memories began to rewind gradually.

"Do you like war, Roth?" Chelsea asked with a smile.

That's not the sentence.

"To be honest, Luo Xiu, I feel something's off about this war," Dave said, downing the brown liquid in his glass in one gulp.

No, that's not it either.

We need to go a little further.

"This morning, news came from the garrison that the slimes are going to attack the city," Cole said, handing a scroll of paper to Luo Xiu.

No, this sentence isn't it either; it's too early in the alphabet.

Right between these two sentences,

Luo Xiu vaguely felt that he was about to find the answer. He tried his best to recall, and finally a picture slowly emerged in his mind like a whale in the sea.

"I don't know where this news came from, but it's said that the slimes are going to attack the city and start a war. They even said that someone saw it with their own eyes."

"Hmph, I, Old White, have lived for so many years, do you think I wouldn't be able to tell if there's a war? Let me put it this way, there's no way there will be a war!"

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of war? I told you, it's unlikely to be war, don't worry."

An aged face gradually became clear in my mind.

"Old White."

Luo Xiu murmured.

Yes, he was the first person to say that this was not a war.

Does he know something?

Or was he just making it up on the spot?

Luo Xiu's mind was a complete mess.

In the end, he had only one thought left: to go and ask old White.

He gently placed the pocket watch back into Oles's arms, and then said:

"Mrs. Oles, Leila will stay here with you for a while. I'll be right back."

Then he rushed out without looking back, disappearing into the darkness.

The restaurants and hotels outside were either brightly lit or pitch black, depending on whether a nobleman was hosting a banquet.

But none of them noticed a figure running wildly down the street.

Old White is still not on the exchange.

Luo Xiu walked out of the exchange.

But this time he wasn't going to stop there; he wanted to get to the bottom of things in one go.

Since old White wasn't there, he went to the town library.

First, we need to understand what "眷地" means.

The town's library was located on the south side. When Luo Xiu arrived, it was already late at night, but the library door was still unlocked.

An elderly man with white hair was dozing off in a chair by the door.

Luo Xiu didn't disturb him and tiptoed into the library.

The books in the library are all organized and categorized, with different categories of books placed in different bookshelves.

Luo Xiu first went to the General Knowledge category. Although he felt that there probably wouldn't be an explanation of the obscure term "Kyoto" in this category, he still wanted to give it a try.

I started flipping through it quickly.

A few hours later.

No.

Next up are the secret stories.

nor.

Next up are geography, dictionaries, and aristocratic secrets...

None at all.

Even though Luo Xiu had already searched through the information as quickly as possible, a lot of time had passed, and the faint sound of roosters crowing could be heard outside.

Luo Xiu felt dizzy and disoriented as he watched.

He looked at the bookshelves he had examined.

How could it not be?

He had even looked at a dictionary of the common language of monsters, and not a single symbol in it was the same as the symbol for the land of the familiar on the parchment scroll.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

I quickly moved on to the monster category of the book list.

Let's examine it closely.

He scanned through the books, but none of them were what he wanted.

Finally, he found a few dusty booklets in the far corner of the bookshelf.

These booklets are covered in strange symbols that look like children's scribbles.

But Luo Xiu, who had seen this script before, immediately recognized it as the common language of monsters.

He took out the parchment scroll he had picked up from the goblin settlement from his pocket and began to search through the booklets carefully, comparing it to the symbol for the Dominion that Leila had mentioned.

Finally, when he turned to the second booklet, a familiar symbol caught his eye.

Luo Xiu excitedly compared the symbols repeatedly, confirming that the symbol was indeed the symbol of the land of the gods.

He went to the dictionary category he had been looking at, found the dictionary of the common language of monsters, and began to translate the contents of the booklet word by word.

Except for the symbol for "kyoto" (謝地), all other words were translated. If the word "kyoto" is combined with the meaning of "kyoto," then the words in the pamphlet have been completely translated.

Luo Xiu read it out word by word:

"Although most of the time we will directly attack the city and wipe out these weak humans."

"But sometimes we take other approaches."

“Those weak kingdoms are afraid of war and will always make some deals with us. We only need to make some show of attacking the city, and they will be eager to cede some land to us.”

“These lands are different from the lands we conquered. These lands have living humans who will reproduce and work for us. They are living food and our eternal slaves.”

"Those foolish high-ranking humans in the kingdom (let's just call them that, I don't know what else to call them) will still claim that the land is still normal and that they have won a victory in order to appease the low-ranking humans."

"But that land and the people there have actually become our slaves."

"We call this method 'family land'."
