Chapter 28: The Crazy Player
Because of the sudden traffic accident, the entire caravan has stopped, and the beetle beast that caused the accident looked panicked, and under its forefeet, after making a "bang" sound similar to the flesh being trampled, red blood began to flow out, and soon a small pool of red blood water formed under the front feet of the beetle beast.
The beetle beast looked at its feet, seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and slimy, lifted its foot, and then, after seeing the miserable situation under its feet, put its foot down again, and made a soft "click" sound.
Not only was the entire caravan silent, but even the players who spoke quietly were now silent, but in Nicholas's opinion, they didn't seem to be nervous or angry when they didn't speak, but more like, helpless, smiling, and so on.
After a while, a goblin probe with the words [Umegawa Kuko] on his head looked at the stopped caravan, and then asked loudly without any scruples:
"What's the situation? I'm just going to the forum to post a live post, what did I miss?! ”
As soon as he spoke, the players on the side, who had been silent, suddenly exploded.
"Hoe He was slammed by the active NPC, it's so real."
"See a pool of blood over there, it's a hoe."
"Can you save it if you step on it? Doctor! ”
"Made, I'm afraid you don't want to laugh at me to death, so that you can inherit my plus two handleless daggers! Hahahaha!
The players, who had been quiet, suddenly began to make noise again, and let out bursts of laughter.
Nicholas didn't understand why these goblins could laugh so easily after seeing their companions being trampled on, he couldn't laugh at all, his face turned pale, looking at the demon lord Sherlock on the side was frowning, Nicholas didn't expect things to develop to this extent, and said to Sherlock:
"Summer, Sherlock-sama, this ......"
"It's a bit difficult, I didn't expect this to happen, but I also know that you can't be blamed for it, and he is also responsible for his careless walking."
Sherlock frowned, looking a little out of shape.
Although Nicholas felt that this was no longer a matter of carelessness, he had already trampled on other people's subordinates, and it was pointless to say this kind of shirking responsibility, but fortunately, Lord Sherlock didn't seem to be angry because of this, and for the sake of future partnerships, Nicholas felt that he still had to express it
"Lord Sherlock, I am willing to bear the corresponding damages, as well as the pension of this goblin and his family, I will definitely not embarrass you."
Nicholas said.
"Hey, this matter itself is not your fault, but the matter has come to this point, I only hope that these compensation magic stones can make his grandparents, parents, wives, more than a dozen children, and a sister paralyzed in bed, so that they can live without worrying about food and clothing."
Sherlock sighed, revealing a look of helplessness that "it can only be like this".
What's that? Grandparents, parents, wives, and more than a dozen children, why do you still count a sister who is paralyzed in bed?
Although the daily expenses of the goblin are not very large, but this big family is close to twenty people, and there is one who is paralyzed in bed, and he will be able to live without food and clothing in the future?
Counting his grandparents' pension of 500 magic stones, he has more than a dozen children, 100 magic stones per person is counted as education expenses and living expenses, according to fifteen children, it is 1,500 magic stones, his own death and lost work expenses, a goblin's salary of five magic stones a month, a year is 60 magic stones, even if he can work for 30 years, it is 1,800 magic stones.
Counting the mental damage fee, funeral expenses, the mess is cheaper, a messy funeral, let alone two hundred magic stones, this miscellaneous calculation is already four thousand magic stones! And that's not even counting his sister who was paralyzed in bed! If you count it, let's say a thousand magic stones!
Something is going on!
Although these five thousand magic stones are nothing to a big businessman like Nicholas, if this compensation is here, then his trade trip is almost no different from running in vain, you must know that he originally planned to compensate at most a hundred magic stones, where did he expect to ask for so much!
Nicholas's first reaction was that Sherlock, the demon lord, was blackmailing himself, and if there was a death of a servant in the general dungeon, at most a certain amount of compensation would be given, and the price would be different according to the position and strength of the highlands, and the low-level creatures like goblins would be fifty magic stones to the sky!
To be honest, Nicholas's psychological price is actually only a hundred magic stones, which is still because he hopes to have a good relationship with Sherlock, but now that he feels that Sherlock is blackmailing himself, he is a little defensive.
"Baron Nicholas, I know your difficulties, and I know that it is not easy for you to go out to do business, and you come to the mines every day in the soil and earn hard money. As the lord of the Eternal Realm, I am also obliged to bear a little, so let's compensate for two hundred magic stones, and I'll do the rest myself, hey, it's a few thousand magic stones......" Sherlock saw Nicholas's pale face and sighed.
"Wait a minute, Lord Sherlock, are you really planning on a few thousand magic stones? Maybe it's just your first dungeon, and you don't know much about it, but the average goblin pension is only fifty magic stones. ”
Nicholas was really scared this time, no matter how rich he was, he couldn't just sell a few thousand magic stones to the goblin as a pension, right?
"Although I'm the first time to be a lord of the underground city, I also know these common sense, but you also know that my position, many people are watching, they will discuss every day, and they will criticize from time to time, I have to spend a lot of time every day to read their comments on my dungeon, although I have recruited so many servants, but the people who apply to join my dungeon every day have also lined up tens of thousands, and their heads are about to burst, although I can't appoint them now, But I'm still going to need them in the future, and this is the first goblin to die in my dungeon, so I'm going to have to put my mind right, make a statement, and put my minions and those who want to join in at ease. ”
After Sherlock said this, Nicholas's expression was already getting more and more shocked.
How many applicants are queuing up to tens of thousands? A large number of people pay attention every day, and they talk about dungeons every day? Has this Sherlock Lord really been entrenched to this extent? Got attention to this extent? Could it be the son of a great nobleman? Even the son of Satan is not impossible!
Nicholas thought of this, and couldn't help but tremble a little, if this is really Satan's son, or a second-generation high-ranking demon of a similar level, he is so generous, the dungeon is developing so fast, and so many goblins are recruited in the early stage, it can be understood, as for why he came to this kind of poor and dangerous place to develop a dungeon, and there are no ready-made magic stones in his hands, it is estimated that he was used by the elders of the family to say: "Here are hundreds of thousands of magic stones, you go out and start a business by yourself!" "If you get rid of it in this way, then this is completely the aristocracy who came out to experience the life of the common people, and by the way, it will be a little more difficult.
If it really reaches this level, the magic stone is not a magic stone at all in their eyes, and it is completely thrown as a stone!
Thinking about it like this, Nicholas understands, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that this possibility is extremely high, that is no longer the level he can touch, if he can develop cooperative trade relations with such a character, and even one day can become his dog's leg, Nicholas seems to have seen a bright future-
Your Excellency Lord Nicholas! As a high-level vampire, you can have your own dungeon like those high-ranking demons and become an equal existence to them!
To be honest, at the beginning, Nicholas didn't even want to compensate for two hundred magic stones, one hundred magic stones was already his psychological limit, but after figuring out this joint, let alone two hundred magic stones, he was willing to give out two thousand magic stones!
Of course, there is also a possibility that this Sherlock Lord is bragging! The swollen face and fat man wanted to deceive him into magic stones, but two hundred magic stones to buy one rest assured, buy a chance, Nicholas felt that this deal was not a loss, what if it was true?
Handed over two hundred magic stones, it's like plucking a hair, in exchange for a chance to enter the city with harmony, the background of this high-ranking demon called Sherlock, you can slowly understand it yourself! Nicholas thought about it like this, and he was comfortable.
Besides, Nicholas didn't think that any demon lord would use such a cowhide to deceive himself of two hundred magic stones? No matter how poor you are, you can't be so poor.
"Lord Sherlock, it's my pattern that is small, I understand, please help me hand over these two hundred magic stones to his family, although it is only a little, but this is also a part of my heart, on behalf of my apology."
Nicholas took out his magic stone card as he spoke, Sherlock also took out his magic stone card, and the two quickly handed over two hundred magic stones, Sherlock saw that the magic stone had arrived, and said righteously:
"That's for sure, don't worry, these two hundred magic stones are not for me, but for his family, and I will send this pension to his family as soon as possible."
Everyone acted as if nothing had happened, and under Sherlock's guidance, the caravan of fifty people drove directly to the newly dug up unfinished space with thirty carts and thirty beetlemen, which Sherlock originally intended to use as a collective dormitory for those players, and now it is temporarily used for these caravans.
As for the corpse of the hoe that was crushed, it was natural for the other players to pack up and throw it to the side, and clean up the dungeon by the way, the Eternal Realm pays great attention to the city's appearance.
At this point, everyone was happy, and Nicholas couldn't help but smile on his face, and the goblins around him could understand the laughter, and he was more sure that Sherlock's identity was not simple.
After all, it was a demon lord of that level, and it was understandable that the recruited subordinates were a little frustrated.
