Chapter 107: The Miserly Kobold King
Anduin stood at the end of the tunnel, looking up at the bones of the Titans, but there was no trace of a skeleton at all.
"Okay, I've long said that as soon as the kobold king comes, he will be able to settle the rewards for two battles, but before that, I want to know how many crystals are needed to scan the bones of the Titans, so I have a number in my heart."
[Tip: The host needs to pay 100 crystals as a scanning fee.] γ
"What?"
[The amount of data on the Titan bones is too large, and only a deep scan can accurately calculate the total amount of crystals that need to be consumed.] γ
"So I want to know the results of the scan, and I have to pay for a scan?" Anduin was a little helpless, "Forget it, I don't want the child to be a wolf, but the final data must be accurate to single digits, the kobold king is rich, but whether he is angry or not is open to discussion, it is estimated that I am not prepared to ask for a sky-high price, so he has to sit on the ground and pay back." β
The system didn't respond, and scanned it at full power, and it didn't take long to get the result, Anduin looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, 36,500 energy crystals, if he really wants to rely on the hotel's income, then what year and month will he have to wait? Right now, there is a rich man who does not want to give up this hard-won opportunity.
Anduin nodded secretly and turned the candle on, but this time it was not the kobold scavenger who came forward to greet him, but the kobold diviner, Anduin was a little surprised, could it be because the favorability reached the limit, so that the legendary kobold did not hesitate to take himself personally?
The answer is naturally not so simple, and the kobold earth diviner said in a solemn whisper: "Anduin, there is one thing, I must make it clear in advance, the location of the Titan's bones is not a secret, but there are very few people who know that the Titans came to consciousness many years ago, as the only kobold who witnessed this, I have never forgotten my mission, I have always kept this secret, and even kept my mouth shut about His Majesty the King." β
The noble qualities of the kobold earth diviner made Anduin extremely admired.
"Now, His Majesty has arrived, and with a stranger I have never seen before, I have used the divination crystal to find that he is always wandering near the trap passage, just in case, you must not say that you have slipped out, the remains of the Titan have long since faded out of the eyes of the world, and must not be the focus of the world again!" The kobold earth diviner said earnestly.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, I won't bring it up." Anduin smiled slightly, and immediately said what he was most concerned about, "I just don't know, what does the kobold king think of my reward?" β
The kobold king was silent for three seconds, and as Anduin was about to raise a frown, he solemnly promised: "The hero's exploits cannot be buried. β
β¦β¦
The kobold king's name is Towager, and he is a giant in the underworld, but his makeup is not a bit of a king, with a very round pink belly, stepping on a wooden treasure chest, and sitting on a throne made of candle wax without a statue, the only thing that can show his extraordinary status is the candle on his head, shrouded in the lantern crown, and there is a small door in the front, and the orange flame is burning from time to time.
Seeing Anduin's arrival, the kobold king did not show a welcoming gesture, but looked at Anduin with a scrutinizing gaze, and questioned the earth sculptor Ipu standing next to him: "Is he the human priest that the old fox praised him?" β
When Anduin heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, Marin has changed sex? It's not bad if you don't smear my noble image, but you praise it in turn? But then he knew that the old fox was not at ease.
Seeing that the earth sculptor Yipu gave an affirmative reply, the kobold king snorted coldly: "That greedy human has always coveted my treasures, how can the guy who can be praised by him be kind enough to help us kobolds?" β
The old-faced geodiviner immediately said: "Your Majesty the Great King, Count Anduin and his deceased uncle, Count Berval, have always been willing to lend a helping hand to help us fight against the enemy, explore the unknown, and resolve the crisis, especially Count Anduin, don't look at his young age, but he has the courage to take risks, not only with Mr. Marlin, to defeat the demon warlock Lynn and eliminate the deadly hidden danger near the territory, but also take the initiative to fight against the invading enemy together, and even destroy the dragon altar with his own strength, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, It can even affect large territories. β
The voice of the earth diviner was loud, and Anduin nodded again and again, he was indeed such a good young man who sacrificed himself for others!
"But ......"
The kobold king stretched out his voice, looking very reluctant, and a sudden voice spoke his heart.
"Guarding the Treasure!"
This voice came from the lantern crown on the head of the kobold king, at this moment, the front cage door was violently pushed open by a flame villain with angry eyebrows, it was a strange element generated by magic candles, and just a few words, it also strengthened the will of the kobold king, and immediately said excitedly: "Yes! I'm going to guard my treasure! Everything is mine, no one wants to take it away! β
When they proposed to reward Anduin, the kobold king refused, and finally persuaded him, only to change his mind on the spot.
In this regard, Anduin was not in a hurry to fight for himself, for the kobold king, his weight was far less than that of the legendary powerhouse present, and when he noticed that the road builder Hamm stepped forward, he calmly waited for what the other party would say.
Hamm, the road builder who had not yet fully healed from his injuries, turned a little pale, and whispered in a weak tone: "Your Majesty, if it were not for Anduin, you would have lost a lot of wealth, as well as warriors and territories, and Count Anduin is a veritable embodiment of the Holy Light, and he has provided us with precious assistance in accordance with the will of the Holy Light, and if we anger the Holy Light because of some treasures, and then cause the displeasure of the God of Candles, we will be in great trouble!" β
The words fell, the road builder Hamm was too excited, causing the injury to fluctuate, and couldn't help but start coughing, the kobold king's face was gloomy, and he seemed very entangled, in the kobold culture, the god of candles is undoubtedly the most noble existence, if there is no candle, there is no wealth, and the holy light and the god of candles belong to the same source, in case it is really as Hamm said, the god of candles is unhappy, then it is a little more than worth the loss.
"Guarding the Treasure!"
At this time, the flame villain shouted again, only this time, it faded its angry expression, waved its arms with an angry face, and did not give Anduin a reward, it was to guard the treasure to avoid more losses, and it was also to guard the treasure, the kobold king finally chose to compromise, but he still reluctantly kicked open the wooden treasure chest, turned his head extremely painfully, gritted his teeth and said: "Human, take your reward, and then quickly disappear from my face!" β
Anduin didn't move, because the treasure chest only contained half of the gold coins, and it seemed to be a shoddy product, but the kobold king had a heartbroken expression on his face, which couldn't help but make him angry: "After hearing that I was about to meet the kobold king, I also made a special inquiry with Lord Marin, and he was full of praise for your character, Your Majesty, and thought that you are the most generous monarch in the world!" β
Hearing this, the kobold king immediately straightened up, but his fat belly blinked extremely much, held his head high, like a proud white swan, and admitted unashamedly: "Of course, I, Towager, am indeed the most generous monarch in the world!" β
"But! His Excellency Marin added a precondition to this assessment. β
The kobold king seemed to care about Marin very much, and couldn't help but urge, "What is it?" Say it! β
Anduin held his head high and smiled slightlyβ
"In his dreams."
