Chapter 172: Goblin Ritual

Xia Yi and his group swaggered through the palace, and even wandered to the goblin patriarch's bedroom, where various exotic foods such as fruits unique to the island were prepared on the table, and even potatoes and other grains produced on the mainland.

The food was not exquisite, but compared to sashimi, it was a delicacy for those who had been adrift at sea for a few days, and the goblin patriarch had not yet enjoyed the food, and Shay and they all laughed at it.

"Why don't there be a single guard in the palace?"

Mondo still had unswallowed fruit in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were red juice. This is also Xia Yi's problem, they have encountered many goblins outside, why is it that the palace that should be heavily guarded is empty?

From the back garden to the front hall, I saw two goblins with weapons, and they were hurrying away, as if they were in a hurry.

"Keep up!"

Xia Yi and the others hung quietly behind them, glad that there was no one else in the palace, and the two goblins were in too much of a hurry to find Xia Yi and them.

Follow the two goblin guards all the way to a room, what appears to be a break room, where the two guards are rummaging through a pile of books and letterheads, as if looking for something.

"Hurry up! If we don't find it in an hour, we're dead! ”

One of the guards wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands shaking.

"But it's not our fault at all!" The other goblin kept complaining, "It's the patriarch...... The wizard handed over the sacrificial declaration to him, and he couldn't keep it himself, but why did this matter fall on our heads? ”

"It's not all your fault, if you stand close to the patriarch, you will have a greater chance of being reused! It's good now! We've been scapegoated! ”

The guards blamed each other, and there were constant quarrels, but what they had in common was fear, they were afraid of death.

"Shall we run away?"

"Run?" The goblin shuddered. "Where to flee to? If we find out, we're done! ”

"I don't know what to do, but it's better than staying here and waiting to die, the patriarch won't let us go! And, even if we leave the Great Barrier Reef, there's nowhere to go. None of the creatures on the continent welcome us! And our families will be implicated! ”

……

It was Chary's hammer that ended this pointless quarrel, and the two poor guards were knocked unconscious by Charity before they could come to a conclusion. Shay clapped his hands and walked into the lounge, where many books were on display, and Shay looked around and found something surprising.

"This is a book from the mainland, and it is written in the language of the mainland, and you see. The author of the books written here is a human nobleman, this is the patriarch of the Orc Haus, where did they get so many books? ”

No wonder they speak the lingua franca of the continent, Xia Yi thought to himself, goblins care a lot about books, and the books here are kept in the cabinet and clean.

"Loot it. They often go to the coast to grab wealth, and they don't expect to come back with some books. Mondo rummaged around. With little interest, he gets a headache when he reads a book.

However, Xia Yi looked through it with a little interest, and found that these books covered a wide range, including geography, humanities, agriculture, technology, alchemy, etc., and even books about spells, which were disorganized.

"My dear. Come and see. ”

The Zombie King ran to the balcony and looked down.

Shay ran over and saw a plaza beneath the lounge, now filled with goblins, judging by their clothes. There should be goblin nobles, as well as soldiers and maids in the palace, and Xia Yi finally knew why there was no one in the palace, so they all ran here.

"What are they doing?"

Xia Yi asked in surprise, because these goblins were standing there, and they were all in this direction of themselves, all with their heads down, and none of them spoke, not even making a sound.

"Sacrifice? It's very similar to the sacrificial scene held by the orcs. Mondo said.

Xia Yi looked at the front, there were quite a few people there, one of them was obviously much more noble than the other goblins, golden silk fabric, and wearing a crown, he should be the patriarch, and standing next to him was a guy in a tattered black robe, holding a sacrificial staff in his hand, this sacrificial staff had a small skull hanging on it, and it was about the size of a goblin baby's head!

"They're worshipping the god of the sea? Or a deceased chief? Or is it a historical hero? ”

Because Xia Yi couldn't be discovered by the goblins, he didn't dare to poke his head out too much, and he could only see that all the goblins were facing a very large sculpture, because his back was to the lounge, so Xia Yi couldn't see what the statue looked like, but his body looked like a woman, and the sea god was a woman?

"Ha Lu Ha! I've got an idea! Xia Yi said happily.

Mondo asked blankly, "What's the idea?" ”

"Aren't we going to get a few goblin ships, there are two ways, one is to trade, which is obviously impossible, and the second is to rob! But we can't get too much attention from the goblins, or their cannons will make us miserable, but we can use some special means, such as kidnapping......" Shay's eyes were crooked with a smile and a sly light.

"Kidnap the Goblin Chief?!" Mondo said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, with so many goblins watching, we don't even have a chance to get close." ”

Xia Yi was full of confidence: "We have a chance!" If we don't go to him, he will surely fall into the net! Didn't you hear the conversation between the two guards just now? The patriarch sent them to find a declaration of sacrifice, and now that the two guards have not returned, the goblin patriarch will definitely come to find it himself, because only he knows where he put the declaration of sacrifice. ”

"Hmm...... That makes sense, but he might also make some sacrificial declarations, or send someone else here. ”

"Yes, it's just a possibility, we should try. My man, does the clothes you just pulled off the goblin still fit? ”

Xia Yi said to the two halflings at the end, because the halflings are as short as the goblins, so the goblin's clothes can only be worn by them, Xia Yi looked at it, except for the pants legs that did not fit, at a glance, it was still possible to hide it.

"Mistress, these pants are too uncomfortable."

Halflings are forced into figure-eight legs by tight pants, halflings generally wear loose pants, their legs are like a horse's back, and goblins' pants are one size smaller.

"You only need to be grieved for a while, and you will stand here later, and don't make a sound."

Xia Yi Zhang Luo is good, just see if the goblin patriarch will come up. However, as she expected, the goblin patriarch who was in the sacrificial ceremony at this time seemed to be performing the ritual religiously, but in fact he was in a hurry, and although he would not become a sinner if the ritual went wrong, he would be uncomfortable himself, and maybe the gods would no longer grant them good luck.

The goblin patriarch was sweating in his palms, and he could only think of an excuse to ask the wizard to adjust the course of the ritual, and he said that he was not feeling well, and hurried back to his common room.

"These two useless bastards! It took so long for them to find a few pieces of paper! I won't be able to spare you! ”

The goblin patriarch complained while running back to the lounge, he usually didn't exercise, climbing the stairs made him out of breath, and when he saw the two "guards" standing there stupidly in the lounge, he didn't find what he needed, and he immediately became angry.

"You two derelict fellows! I'm not just going to fire you! and you will be punished with three years of unpaid labor for the royal palace! Get the hell out of here, I'll do it myself! ”

The goblin patriarch hadn't noticed anything was wrong, the door to the lounge behind him was slammed shut, and the two guards turned around, looking crooked and cracked, and wearing a sissy goatee. The unfamiliar face startled the goblin chief.

"Who are you? What about my guards? ”

The Goblin Patriarch shouted inwardly, but his petite stature didn't look much of a deterrent, even though he kept a thick stubble to make him look calm and imposing.

"Hello, my friend, let's talk."

Xia Yi walked out from behind the door and said with a pleasant face, if there was no need to use force, she didn't want to be rude, but I was afraid that the goblin patriarch would not cooperate, so Xia Yi quietly put the hammer behind her.

However, what is surprising is that when the goblin patriarch saw Xia Yi, he was not scared or shouted, but his eyes widened! You know, the goblin's eyes are originally like toads, round and big, and Xia Yi often thinks that Pipiru's eyes are frighteningly big.

In addition, the goblin's eyes are red, which looks like anger.

I saw a line of tears suddenly flow out of the goblin patriarch's eyes, and the goblin patriarch suddenly stroked his chest and shouted with tears: "You...... You're finally back! ”

"Huh?"

Xia Yi wondered, what the hell is he doing? Shay didn't know any goblins before, let alone be her friends, but the honorific title of the goblin patriarch kept Shay from using her hammer for the time being.

"I ...... I'm the patriarch of the Goblin Clan, and after decades, you've finally remembered that we, a race that were once blessed by you, and you're back! We've been waiting for you, goblins can't lose you......" The goblin patriarch cried as if he had seen someone closest to him.

Xia Yi was at a loss, she thought to herself, what is this goblin patriarch up to? She was wondering if the cunning goblin had come up with some way to get out, and Xia Yi hesitated whether to knock the mallet down, but seeing him crying so sadly, he couldn't do it.

He ...... Did you recognize the wrong person? ”

Xia Yi asked Mondo quietly, and Mondo shook his cheeks and became even more confused.

If Shay and the others were in the square now, or on the opposite side of the lounge, they would definitely be able to see that the huge sculpture at the front of the square, with her eyebrows, eyes and nose, was indeed very similar to Shay, and she was wearing the same blue dress as Shay, Mondo would definitely recognize it, it was his mother.

Heidi. (To be continued......)
