"Hello, my name is Alaric Montclair, may I speak to your leader?"
To any other person, it would seem like he was speaking nonsense, but to the goblins, he spoke fluent monster.
This took them by surprise for a while—
'He speaks our language?'
"He's a human..."
"Impossible."
Their words fit the confused expressions on their faces.
"You understand the goblins, human?" the Goblin King spoke, eyes focused on the intruder.
"Why, of course," Alaric replied excitedly.
He spread one of his hands to the side, the other calmly pressed against his chest as he slightly bowed his head.
"I am a monster expert. I spend my years studying the ways of monsters, despite being a human. Does that strike you as odd, your Goblinship?"
"Monster expert?"
"I've never heard of that."
"He lies."
"Filthy human."
The murmurs continued until the Goblin King raised his hand, hinting at them to halt their discussions.
