Chapter 117: The Chaotic Night, Open!
The city of Berkeley was pitch black at night, and at a glance, if it weren't for the occasional flash of fire or two, you wouldn't even notice that there was a city here, because the inhabitants here were goblins who were spurned by all the races of the Montimos continent.

In normal times, the city becomes silent at nightfall, as if it were a dead city, and even the vigilantes who guard it go to bed early or hang out in the city's only bar.
But tonight was different, the idle vigilantes were all guarding the magic teleportation array, which was a very difficult sight to see, all because of the orders of one person, he was Sheriff Gibbs, the powerful man of Berkeley.
The vigilantes standing behind him, though they were wearing armor, were almost all loosely straddled on their bodies, and although they were extremely reluctant to come here at this time, they did not dare to speak out loud, because since nightfall, there had always been a strange muffled sound from the volcano not far away, like the roar of beasts and as if it were thunder, something that had never happened before.
After a long time, one of the chaotic vigilantes finally stood up, and judging by the extremely reluctant expression on his face, it was obvious that he had been pushed out by the people behind him.
"Uh... Boss, can we go back?" Looking at Sheriff Gibbs's extremely serious back, the man who was pushed out by everyone finally asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.
But in the face of the man's question, the rich Sheriff Gibbs still looked up at the Eyjafara Jocco volcano with a strange noise in the distance with his hands behind his back, as if there was some treasure there that fascinated him.
"Boss! Gibbs Boss!" Looking at the indifferent back of Sheriff Gibbs, the man who was pushed out by everyone couldn't help but ask again.
"Do you know why I'm gathering you all so late?" At the man's call, Sheriff Gibbs let out a sigh of relief, slowly turning around and looking at the people behind him.
The crowd standing behind him heard this, and looked at me and I looked at you, apparently not understanding why Sheriff Gibbs was asking.
Looking at the dazed crowd, Sheriff Gibbs shook his head as if helpless, sighed, and then stretched out his hand to point to the room engraved with the magic teleportation array, and then slowly spoke.
"It's all because of it! It's no exaggeration to say that our people are stationed in Berkeley, where birds don't shit, and our real duty is to guard the magic teleportation array, and as for those filthy and lowly goblins, they don't deserve to be guarded by us, and they don't even deserve to be called subjects of the Empire!"
Although everyone knew what Sheriff Gibbs had said in their hearts, they had never wondered why the former had mentioned it so solemnly tonight, and they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the former in anticipation.
"Tonight, I've called you all here, first, to guard this magical teleportation array, and second, because of that mercenary named Krazier!"
"Boss, what's wrong with that mercenary, deserves your attention!" one of the vigilantes couldn't help but ask.
"He, hehe, it's not easy!" As he spoke, Sheriff Gibbs took out a heavy bag from his bosom and held it up in front of everyone. "I went to the Henry Chamber of Commerce during the day, and as soon as the name of the mercenary was mentioned, the guy in the Henry Chamber of Commerce who always looked at people with his nostrils was busy preparing all the magic stones he needed, and they were delivered to me respectfully, you won't be unclear about what it means!"
Hearing this, the people with dazed faces immediately became uproar, because the most high-ranking people in this Berkeley city were not the Gibbs sheriffs, but the heads of the major chambers of commerce stationed in the fortress-like city of Conyounis not far away.
Because the city lord of Conyounis basically doesn't care about anything in this Berkeley City, and even his subordinates don't care about anything here, the only people who can come here are the heads of the major chambers of commerce, and even what these people say is much more effective in this Berkeley City than the Gibbs Sheriff.
"So if there is any change in that volcano tonight, we will keep it at any cost, we will...!"
But at this moment, suddenly a dull beast roar came from the distant one, interrupting the words of Sheriff Gibbs, and when he turned around, he looked up in the direction from which the roar came, and the astonishing scene made him suddenly cold in his hands and feet, and trembling so much that he could not say a word, because at this moment there was an extremely large and terrifying beast lurking there on the crater of Eyjafara Jocco.
At the same time, in a forest near the foot of the eastern foothills of Ajafarah Jokhuo Mountain, a figure was shuttling among them, holding a white log, struggling to remove the branches in front of him, and staggering through the woods.
After he pushed aside the last branch in front of him, the figure finally bathed in the milky white moonlight, opened its arms, looked up at the two bright moons overhead, and roared loudly.
"Damn, why did you want me to come to this place by myself to investigate?"
"If you don't say anything, there is a goblin who came out of that damn volcano, he must have found some kind of research institute here, who would believe it!"
"I'm really angry with Uncle Ben! I really don't know what my sister thinks!"
The man who came out of the woods was none other than Bellamt, the young bandit leader who was separated from Krezer in Stone City, and after complaining repeatedly, he raised his foot and kicked a gravel under his feet violently.
But at this moment, a dull beast roar came from the crater above his head, hearing this strange sound, the complaining Bellamt couldn't help but raise his head, curiously looked up, he knew the rumor that there was a monster inhabiting this volcano, but he had never really seen it, so after hearing this dull beast roar, he couldn't help but think about it.
But soon the grumbling look disappeared from his face, replaced by a look called horror, because after that strange roar, an extremely large beast was slowly crawling out of the smoking crater, others may not know the origin of this giant beast, but he knew it, because this terrifying beast has been the protagonist of bedtime horror stories since he was a child.
Panicked and glanced at the terrifying giant beast that had completely crawled out of the crater, this kind of terrifying existence that only existed in legends was not something he could challenge now, and he couldn't even raise the slightest sense of resistance, so the young bandit leader didn't say a word, turned around and rushed into the woods behind him that he had managed to get out of, and almost fled in a hurry.
At this moment, at the crater of Ajafara Jocco, in the face of Kraser's rhetorical question, the huge fire dragon immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, as if this was the funniest joke he had ever heard.
"Hmm, what do I want, you ask me what I want? that's interesting, hahaha!"
"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
However, the voice of the fire dragon was so terrifying that Krazer could feel the ground trembling in laughter beneath his feet.
"Do you have dazzling diamonds? or mountains of gold coins! Or tell me who owns this arrow!"
"Hey, hey, hey, how did I know the owner of this arrow, respected dragon, you really like to joke!" Seeing that the dragon's tone was getting heavier and heavier, Kratzer opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly, in order to divert the dragon's attention, he had to take out the blue diamond from the spatial ring. "I have a diamond here, a diamond you've never seen before!"
But before he could deliver the diamond to the dragon, a petite black shadow flashed, and then Krazer suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, only to find that Thanatos, who had not known where to hide since just now, suddenly appeared, snatched the huge diamond from his hand, hugged it tightly in his arms, and roared angrily at the fire dragon with his small mouth wide open.
But when the latter appeared, the playful smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a kind of doubt and incomprehension, and an indescribable sense of solemnity.
"Babu Tanatos, poor little fellow, you've finally taken that step for the sake of strength! Look what you look like now, you're just acting on instinct now!" As if muttering to himself, the fire dragon lying in the crater stretched out a claw, and the void grabbed Thanatos, who was clutching the diamond and refused to let go, and his words were full of sorrow, apparently the former recognized the true origin of Thanatos.
When the latter heard the name from the mouth of the fire dragon, there was a confused expression on his little face, as if he was trying to remember something, and he saw him clutching his head with his little paws as if he were enduring a severe pain, and the pain made him unable to grasp the diamond in his hand, causing it to fall to the ground.
Seeing the extremely painful movements of Thanatos, Krazer held back the fear in his heart and took a difficult step forward, trying to take back Thanatos who was pinched between the claws of the fire dragon, but as soon as he raised his foot, the two huge vertical pupils of the fire dragon stared at him mercilessly, and at this moment, Kreizer knew that the time of his death was when the foot he raised hit the ground.
But even with this feeling in his heart, Krazer did not hesitate in the slightest, and still took this step firmly, holding back his trembling body, staring closely at the huge eyes of the fire dragon, and the sound of heavy breathing was like a tattered bellows.
However, Thanatos, who was pinched by the dragon, seemed to sense the danger of Kraser, and for a while he struggled to twist his petite body, trying to escape from the claws of this fire dragon, but no matter how he struggled and twisted, it was to no avail, and the fire dragon grabbed his claws and did not move.
"What's your name, little reptile!" casually glancing at Thanatos, who was writhing his body, the fire dragon pinched Thanatos' tail with its claws, lifted it upside down and shook it twice at random.
"Krezer, my name is Krazer Sherlock!" Nervously looking at Thanatos who was being flung around by the fire dragon, Krazer hurriedly reported his name, and at this time he also remembered what Professor Rabinowitz had told him before leaving, so he couldn't help but look up and try to say again.
"Professor Binch Rabinowitz asked me to greet you on his behalf!"
"Uh-huh, boy, you're smart, but you're in the wrong place, that guy won't let you greet me as a tyrant, but you're smart and brave enough to have a good appetite for me!" Hearing the name from Krezer's mouth, the fire dragon's wagging claws suddenly stopped, and the huge vertical pupils were put back on his body.
Tyrant Nicholas, the Fire Dragon, is one of the only five remaining legendary dragons who participated in the Continental Racial Liberation War that overthrew the Goblin Empire thousands of years ago. Even among the dragons he was known for his cruelty, and he was once killed by a dragon who questioned his decision, so he was called a tyrant, and no one was willing to question his decision, and no one could leave alive after resisting him.
"You are the tyrant Nicholas, one of the five most powerful dragons of the great dragon clan, it is my honor to meet you!" Hearing the fire dragon's self-proclaim, Krezer's eyes widened in horror, and he nodded his head again and again, and smiled flatteringly.
"Alright, don't be a sycophant, little one, see the old guy in your mouth, and tell me what you got at the Hefnath Institute below!" asked the tyrant Nicholas as if he didn't care, after shaking the restless Tanatos on his paw twice.
"Do you know there's an institute down there?" Hearing this, Kratzer looked at the tyrant Nicholas with some surprise and blurted out, but he was immediately relieved.
"Of course, you know, Hefnath made a small deal with me back then, one of the conditions was that I suppressed this volcano for him for a whole ten years, so that he could build this research institute with peace of mind, otherwise you would think that with the thin body of a goblin, you want to build such a secret research institute in this Ajafara Jocco volcano, is that possible!" Tyrant Nicholas pursed his lips disdainfully, making one of the greatest georefining gold masters at the end of the Goblin Empire worthless.
