Chapter 11: Balonda's Ambition

"Click, click, click,"

In the narrow passage, the sound of reverberating footsteps is particularly clear. The lights embedded in the walls on both sides automatically turn on and go out as the footsteps approach, and they are magic items formed by attaching a magic called light sensing.

The bright light projected the figures of two men on the wall, and the man walking in front of him had a grim face that made people awe-inspiring, and the years had left white marks on his temples, but they still could not change his ambitious eyes. He was wearing an overcoat made of whole snow animal skin, which had excellent warmth due to the lack of seams, and the relative price was ridiculously high. Presumably, the owner of this luxury must be a person of great status.

Behind him was a tall warrior in iron armor. This iron armor is twice as thick as normal armor, and its weight has reached a point where it is not suitable for ordinary humans to wear, and if it is forced to wear, it will definitely become immobile. However, the tall warrior moved as freely as if he were wearing an ordinary cloth robe, and his breathing did not feel the slightest heaviness. It can be seen that the tall warrior is not an ordinary human being, in fact, he is a transformed person who has been strengthened.

These two men were none other than Baronda Euslet, the new king of the Kingdom of Vervila, and his younger brother, Zelet Euslet, the leader of the Guards. At this moment, the place they were heading to was located beneath the palace, where a forbidden place for war machines was stored.

At the end of the passage was a wall, and above the wall was a circular magic array, Balonda stretched out his hand to the center of the magic array, so the entire magic circle began to rotate, and after identifying the identity of the comer, the wall in front of him gradually became transparent as if it had faded, and finally disappeared in front of him.

Baronda and Zelet entered the huge room that had been cleverly hidden, and the people who had been busy inside quickly knelt down after seeing their cheeks and shouted in unison, "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

However, there was one person in this room who acted differently, a short old man with a thick white beard and eyebrows, making it almost impossible to see the eyes and mouth. The height is about one-third of that of the average person, and even if humans become short in old age due to hunchbacks and shrinking bodies, it seems a little too much to become so short. However, if you look away from the old man's hairball-like cheeks and turn to his arms and neck, the doubts in your heart will naturally be solved.

The green skin shows that the old man's race is not human. Rather, it is a species that resembles a goblin but has a much higher IQ than a goblin, and this species is called a goblin.

"Roar, Baronda, it's been a long time since you've been here."

Standing on top of his chair, the old goblin fiddling with something at the rectangular counter let out a weird laugh, and he greeted Balonda with a bloodied hand before continuing his work.

Calling the king by name was an extremely rude act, but Baronda did not show the slightest displeasure, but greeted the old goblin with some respect.

"Crazy Beard, how are you doing?"

"You humans still like to go around the bend so much, just say anything directly."

The old goblin head replied to the king's greeting.

"How's the lava giant's research going? Was it able to start? ”

The old goblin let out a long sigh and wiped his bloodied hands with a cloth hanging beside him, then turned his furry cheeks to Baronda.

"I've used all kinds of methods, but the key to activate this weapon is very delicate, and it is not so easy to make, even for me, I'm afraid it will take two years."

"Two years is too long! I knew that I should have left the guy at that time and asked where the key was. ”

Baronda shook his head in annoyance as he remembered the moment he had pierced his king's heart in the back months ago.

"Doesn't Fando have a daughter, she must know where the key is."

"It's a pity that she escaped, but I've already been exposed, and I believe there will be news soon."

"Roar, Dolu? Your half-elf daughter? ”

The old goblin's eyes narrowed, and though they were covered by thick eyebrows, it was impossible to see the slightest movement on his face.

"Hmph, I'd rather you call her a tool I made than my daughter."

"It's said that humans are emotional creatures, but from that point of view, you really don't look like a human being."

"I wish I wasn't human, the human body is too weak."

Balonda looked at his hands with disgust.

"Madbeard, how's that experiment going?"

"It's still in the experimental stage, but it should be done soon."

"Very well, I, Balonda Euslet, must create a vast empire that no one can match."

Baronda opened his arms and swore an impassioned oath.

"This, this, what the hell is happening in the Duchy of Basol?"

Landing at the port of Sivaran, seeing a group of heavily armed goblins standing neatly on the dock, Seren and his men had a sense that they had come to the wrong place. Just as they were hesitating whether to get off the boat or not, a young man with two guards walked up to the boat.

"I'm Lanka-Kyrgyz, the lord who governs this place, although there are many monsters living in this city, but please don't be afraid, they are all friendly and will not hurt you."

After listening to Lanka's words, Seren breathed a sigh of relief, and he stepped off the boat and saluted Lanka.

"Hello Lord Lord, my name is Seren Ambak, and I am the cavalry captain from the Kingdom of Vervila, and they are all my subordinates."

Seren turned and pointed to the crowd gathered on the deck and gave a brief introduction, and everyone on the ship also saluted Lanka in a friendly manner.

"Lord Ambak, take the liberty of asking why you came to our country?"

"This ......"

Knowing how to answer, Seren fell into deep thought, then sighed heavily.

"In fact, there is a large-scale rebellion in our country, and we have fled from the country, but please rest assured, we will not cause trouble for your country, we will only stop here for one night, make some supplies, and leave tomorrow."

Seren's voice carried the guilt of failing to protect the country, which resonated with Lanka a little.

"Lord Ambak, you are too worried, since you have come to Sivaran and you are a guest here, please feel free to visit and have a good rest, for the time being, there are no hotels in this city, if you want to stay, you can go to ......"

"Excuse me, my lord, we'll stay on the ship."

As if seeing something, a brief hint of surprise suddenly appeared on Seren's face, and then he hurriedly interrupted Lanka's words.

"My lord, we're going to do a supply job, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Seren held out his hand to Lanka.

"Just call me Lanka, I live in the middle of the city, if you have anything, you are welcome to come to me, and the guards here are in charge of the goblins, if you encounter anything, you can also find them, then I hope you can have a good time here."

Lanka smiled and shook Seren's hand.
