Chapter Twenty-Four: The Goblin Tribe

After a short trek, Sikong Ya and his party followed Habchacha to the tribe of goblins. It's just that to Sikong Ya's surprise, the place that should have smelled like a muddy pond in his imagination was an existence with birds singing and flowers.

And Habchachacha, who originally led the way for Sikong Ya, also changed his original obscene temperament. Although there is no longer the previous sense of flattery and greeting in front of Sikong Cliff, it only makes people feel that they are humble and reasonable.

"Dear Lord, please wait a moment. Under the rules of the tribe, everyone entering the tribe needs to be bathed and washed before entering. Habchachacha said to Sikong Ya in a polite but not humble tone.

"Habu scum, you stinky goblins! What kind of big-tailed wolf in front of grandpa. Sikong Ya was shocked by the Habchachacha in front of him, who was incarnated as a fork criminal.

Sikong Ya was still scolding viciously, but he still went to the bathroom under the guidance of Habchacha.

Wait until the three of them finish bathing in Sikong Cliff and rejoin Habchachacha again. The three of them barely recognized Habchatsa, who had changed into a clean linen robe, and his brownish-green skin had turned grass green. And the disgusting smell that used to be before has now been replaced by a faint floral scent.

"Dear Luffy-sama, please come with me, and I'll take a few of them to meet the Queen." Habchata said politely and appropriately.

"Hmm...... Habu scum, oh no, Habchacha, can you explain what the hell is going on? "Sikong Cliff is really stunned by these goblins now, after all, everything he has seen since he came to this goblin tribe is too subversive.

"I'm sorry, my lordship. What I know is very limited, and I believe that in a moment, our Queen, will give you a detailed explanation. At this time, although Habchachacha's appearance and height still did not conform to human aesthetics, he was undoubtedly a perfect performance in terms of etiquette and demeanor.

Sikong Ya walked among the goblin tribes with Bo Erba and An An, and Sikong Ya looked at the surrounding buildings. Shocked in his heart, he originally thought that the so-called goblin tribe was at most a nest of earth and the like that gathered together. But now all he saw were neat and clean small tree houses and small bamboo buildings, and the cave he lived in now was more like a kennel in comparison. And the goblins he saw along the way were no longer the obscene and sloppy appearance they had when they encountered them outside, they were all as clean and polite as Habchachacha.

And when Sikong Ya was brought to the main hall in the center of the tribe in Habchacha, Sikong Ya was completely stunned. This hall covers an area of more than 200 square meters, and the height is almost more than 5 meters. This hall is basically built of coarse wood, and there are many simple relief patterns on the doors and windows. Although it still looks rough and quaint, Sikong Cliff seems to have reached the construction level of this hall to some of the most primitive tribes in reality.

Sikong Ya entered the main hall and found that the layout of the hall was also of a high level. In the center of the main hall, there is a platform that is raised about half a meter, and a relatively delicate chair is placed on the platform.

On the chair, a female goblin wearing a snow-white cloth robe must be the goblin queen that Habchacha said. The female goblin has a typical goblin appearance, with a round face, large eyes, a collapsed nose, and a large mouth that is extremely disproportionate to the entire face. However, the slight difference from the other goblins that Sikong Cliff has seen along the way is that the skin color of this goblin queen is significantly lighter than that of other goblins, and there is a faint hint of pink.

"Greetings to the honored guests. I'm Neal Lily, the goblin queen. Sikong Cliff was still looking at the main hall when the gentle and slightly majestic voice of the goblin queen came.

"Hello, esteemed Queen Lilly." Sikong Ya bowed slightly in return.

"According to my chief minister, Habchachacha, Lord Luffy is the most powerful warrior near this great lake." The Goblin Queen politely complimented Sikong Cliff.

"Where, where. Well...... Actually, I have a question for Her Majesty. Sikong Ya politely responded to the queen's compliment, and then asked the question carefully.

"Hehe, Luffy-sama is really an anxious guest. However, the question that Luffy-sama wants to ask is also related to our mission this time. The goblin queen smiled slightly, but there was an expression on her face that was indeed the case. Then the goblin queen Neil Lily tells the story of the goblin clan to Sky Cliff.

It turns out that in the legend of Nil Lily and their clan, their race was once the master of this world. At that time, they had great power and could easily twist the shape of mountains; You can change the direction of the river at will. Mighty monsters are vulnerable to their mechanical golems, and the mightiest dragons tremble at the weapons they make.

At that time, they were not the ugly and short appearance they are now, the men of their tribe were handsome and strong, and the women were beautiful and intelligent. Compared to them, the beautiful elves are too weak and slender, and the succubus from the abyss can only make people feel debauched. At that time, they were envied and worshipped by all races on the continent, and other races were willing to accept their status as world masters.

But just when they were at their strongest, they themselves began to become depraved and arrogant. They constantly indulge their material desires, and even oppress other races at will in order to satisfy their own desires. They take infinitely, but they have long forgotten to give even a little in return.

What they did annoyed all the gods and all the other species, and they destroyed everything endlessly, leading to a drastic deterioration of the environment. They abuse magical drugs, causing an entire race to be poisoned. Their newborn babies are getting weaker and weaker, and the probability of terrible deformities is getting higher and higher.

Finally the gods began their revenge, and the oppressed races began to revolt. They have completely degenerated, but they have long lost the bravery, wisdom and courage of their ancestors. The orcs, once regarded as lowly slaves, were able to slaughter their armies at will, and the dragons they once mocked as stupid easily destroyed the once invincible magical golems. One by one, their once glorious cities were destroyed. Their once splendid civilization was completely cut off.

All the remaining of their people, all the grown, literate, and somewhat skilled were killed. Only the elderly, the illiterate, and the deformed. And the ancestor of Neel Lily and their goblin clan was also a survivor at that time, a deformity. But this particular deformed man was a literate man, and he took some of his young people into the jungle to survive.

However, because there are so few survivors, inbreeding is inevitable in the end. As a result, the genetic degradation of the whole race soon occurred, and their appearance changed dramatically in less than a hundred years.
