Chapter 252: Artifact Fragments? Is this thing real? (5,200 words chapter)
Artifact??
Looking at Yule's timid appearance in front of him, Li De quickly broke away from the greed of hearing about the artifact, and regained his composure in the shortest time, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He didn't know much about the goblin race, and he had a general understanding of the race thanks to the data collected by the Crimson Moon Analysis Department and the news that Grlot passed on to him.
This race, which has always been known for its intelligence and arrogance, after getting the news of the legendary artifact, chose not to keep it strictly guarded, but used it as a bargaining chip?
With a keen sense of smell, Li De felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Now, he was in an absolutely powerful position, holding the initiative that the goblins could not resist.
In this case, the goblin chose to expose his hole cards, which is too stupid.
They haven't even started negotiations yet, and they just got on the court and made four two-twos, and he wants to play ball??
Is this a conspiracy? Or is it the goblin's own assertions? Or is it something mysterious and unsearchable that tempts him?
Li De's eyes were uncertain, and his expression slowly became a little cold.
At this time, the sweat droplets on the face of the goblin Yul Gray Mountain, who was stared at by Li De, slipped down like rain, and his mouth kept swallowing saliva.
He felt like he was being targeted by a dragon.
At the slightest mistake, he would be devoured by the dragon in front of him.
At this time, all kinds of terrifying legends under the crown of Iroh in front of him appeared in his mind, and the fear in his heart was magnified countless times in this special environment.
In the hall where the light was not bright, the light of the magic lamps and candles around him was swaying slightly, and the huge crimson war oil painting on the wall behind Li De made him with fangs extremely mysterious and terrifying.
In this environment, Yuer, who was lonely and helpless, and had low strength, without any chips and confidence, was already shaking uncontrollably.
After a long time, as if a full winter had passed, Yul finally heard the legendary Crown, who sat on the throne, speak to be unfathomably powerful.
"Yul Grey Mountain, tell me what the goblins are going to do, and why did the goblins choose to ask for help from the Dark Covenant?
Also, I want to know the news of the artifact", Li De's eyes were like electricity, with undoubted strength.
Yule was excited, and the diminutive figure immediately stood up, the not-so-tall oval table pressed down to his chin.
After barely suppressing the panic in his heart, he said with a bit of fanaticism, "Your Majesty, because you are the Crown of Ilo, who is respected by all the underground worlds in Green City, above the extraordinary!" ”
The weak worship the strong and seek the protection of the strong, this is the law that Glory has never changed, and the legendary Transcendent Iro, who has a legendary degree of up to 10 points, has obviously reached a level that is enough for this goblin to worship.
"The current Grey Mountain tribe can only survive if they are blessed by the Extraordinary Heavens...... We are already surrounded by hundreds of thousands of orc armies in the city of Riesr, and they still have the mighty Beamon!!
There's no one but you in Grimm City who can save the goblins and Riesle City....."
This reason was reluctantly said, and Li De nodded slightly.
He was now Ilo, a transcendent who had been certified by the level 19 Mind Eater Wales, a powerful being with half demonic blood.
With his current legend level of up to 10 points, whether he is mixed in the underground world of Green City or not, as long as he is not a pure civilian, most of them have heard of the legend of Iro's crown.
Even the troubadours are singing the praises of the Dark Covenant president as a mysterious and powerful transcendent.
This is the benefit of legend, as long as the legend is higher, the easier it is for his name to be praised and remembered.
In glory, only powerful heroes or evil and terrifying dark bosses can be known by a large number of civilians and professionals, and it is a terrifying existence of extreme strength to have a strong reputation.
To find out if an aboriginal is powerful, just confirm that the troubadour is singing his name, and then there is no need to question it.
Of course, there are also routines like Li De and the top existence that is not obvious, but the reliability of operating in this way is still quite high.
"Why don't you go to Lord Locke?" Li De's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't let go of the doubt in his heart because of the other party's flattery, Lockhart, the only transcendent existence in Green City.
Yule shook his head, his expression a little frustrated.
"His Majesty Locke refused the goblin's request for help, and I didn't even get to see him, the undead of the north took most of His Crown's attention,
And...... The contract between the Nolan Empire and the orcs, His Majesty Locke does not seem to intend to break it......
Goblins are on their own......"
Li De bowed slightly, for the Nolan Empire, it doesn't matter how you orcs come from, but you can't use high-end power.
The commoners on the border are worthless in the eyes of the great nobles, and only the land is what they must control, and these great nobles may not reclaim the land on the border for the rest of their lives, but this does not hinder their desire to control.
This is also the reason why the orcs only plunder and never occupy the territory of the Nolan Empire.
Because the orcs clearly know that even if they occupy the land of the Nolan Empire, they will not be able to hold it.
At this critical moment, the undead in the north are the natural enemies of human beings, and as long as the orcs don't do too outrageous things, Green City will hardly pull out their hands to deal with them, after all, the annual invasion has already numbed Green City.
Li De shook his head.
The weak have never had the power to control their fate.
The goblin went in with what he thought was a lot of chips, and he couldn't even see the extraordinary face, so you can imagine how big the blow was.
I am afraid that in addition to being "extraordinary", it is more that at least he may make a move.
After all, no one will care about the artifact of the Twelve Magic Scrolls, and the more high-end the power, the more life will yearn for high-end items such as artifacts.
Because only the existence above the transcendent can really exert the power of the artifact, which is lower than the extraordinary, and holding the artifact can only use the power that is very indicated.
Seeing that Li De didn't speak again, Yule only felt his heart beat in his throat.
Although he knew that it was very risky to ask for the dark life, he might only die if he came, but if he didn't come, thousands of people from the entire Grey Mountain tribe would be buried under the fangs of the orcs.
The Grey Mountain tribe has no choice.
"Good, goblins from the Grey Mountain tribe, your reasons have won my approval.
Now, tell me about the whereabouts of the artifact that you know. ”
Li De didn't talk about asking for a reward after rescuing the goblins, but asked directly.
The initiative is in his hands, and now, the goblins have no choice, negotiate? I'm sorry, but the goblins aren't even qualified to go to the negotiating table.
Yule, who seemed to have been prepared for this, did not hesitate, and said directly, "Under the crown of Iro, the artifact exists in the underground world......
Li De raised his eyebrows, and looked at this little man with green skin and big eyes with some confusion.
"The underworld, the underworld you're in?? Wasn't that occupied by orcs? ”
"No", Yule shook his head, "our territory is only part of the underworld.....
Hundreds of years ago, the Grey Mountain tribe lived in a vast underground world.
But the underworld is too dangerous, and our race faces this destruction all the time.
In this way, in order to find a new way out, the Gray Mountain tribe spent a full three hundred years.
Finally, we have found a place of hope.
That's right, that's what we are now in territory, the underground world occupied by orcs. Saying this, Yule's expression was slightly lower,
"We followed the edge of the underworld and found a passage to our current territory."
Li De's expression became more and more strange, how could he feel that things were getting more and more complicated now, but he didn't interrupt Yule's words and let him continue.
"Although we are in the Land of Hope, we return to the Underworld every year through that passage to trade..... Day after day, hundreds of years have passed, and the Gray Mountain tribe has multiplied from dozens of people to five thousand.
However, a crisis was unavoidable, and ten years ago, a black dragon suddenly appeared from within the swamp and interrupted our lives. “
Swamp? Black Dragon ?!!
Hearing the names of these two attributes, Li De stood up suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and he stared at Yule.
"Are you sure it's the black dragon in the swamp?? Is there a tribe of cyclops called the Thunder Tribe living next to the swamp? ”
Yule was frightened by Li De's cold eyes, and stammered, "I'm sorry for Your Majesty Iro,
The silt swamp is too large for the Grey Mountain tribe to explore a small area, and we haven't heard of the Cyclops......"
Li Denei withdrew his terrifying gaze and sat down slowly, but his mood at this time had become a little different.
Unexpectedly, the goblins are likely to be related to the underground world where Corso is located, and the information in this seems to be a bit complicated.
Slender fingers stretched out and tapped lightly on the tabletop, "Go on." ”
Only then did Yule recover from Li De's compelling momentum, and hurriedly continued.
"At that time, the Gray Mountain Tribe was excavating an ancient relic left by a goblin, and a large number of ancient alchemy items appeared in it.
We were so excited about it that we were about to take possession of the ruin, when the patriarch dug up a magic scroll made of what looked like a parchment......"
Speaking of this, Yule's eyes flashed with irrepressible greed.
"Twelve magic scrolls, those are ancient inscriptions carved on them!
The flickering aura on that magic scroll caused a terrifying tide of magic power to appear around it, and the patriarch holding the scroll directly rose from level 13 to level 15!! ”
Yule's voice grew louder and louder, "This is simply an epic scene, the great Grey Mountain tribe found the legendary twelve magic scrolls while digging up the ruins of ancient goblins, and their patriarch gained the power of the artifact and became a powerhouse!" ”
But just as Li De was about to ask, Yule's voice instantly lowered, like an opera suddenly turning from high to low.
"It's a pity that the aura of that mysterious scroll is too exaggerated, which alarms the black dragon who just came out to hunt..... There is no doubt that we were defeated.
The goblins of the Grey Mountain Clan have no power to resist the dragons...... The magic scroll that gave the patriarch great power was also taken away by the dragon, and the black dragon who got the magic scroll began to kill brutally.
5,000 people...... After half a day, there are only a thousand left.
If it weren't for the patriarch finding the center of the ancient ruins and activating the teleportation formation, perhaps the gray mountain goblins would have perished in the hands of the black dragon.
And when we returned to the territory of the Gray Mountain, I don't know if it was because the explosion of the ancient ruins that automatically destroyed after the activation of the center caused a strong earthquake, and the passage to the underground world of the Gray Mountain was destroyed......
The Grey Mountain tribe has also lost contact with the underworld. ”
After Li De listened to the reason for this, he nodded a little abruptly.
"So, that's why you ended up working with Lysle City?"
Yule's big black eyes showed a little gratitude,
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Grey Mountain tribe without the underground passage has lost all supplies, and in just two years, we are almost in a desperate situation.
And at this time, the young city lord of Androbella broke into our territory, and the young lady won the friendship of the Grey Mountain tribe by virtue of her erudite wisdom.
To do this, we exchange alchemy bombs and various alchemical items for food and supplies...... The Lord of Adebella is a friend of the goblins, so I implore Irome to do everything to help the Lord of Adebella. ”
Li De, who finally figured out what happened, was in a somewhat complicated mood.
"Do you know the strength of that black dragon? Where is it now? ”
Yule shook his head, "No one knows where the black dragon's lair is, the mud swamp is too huge......"
Li De couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this, but he didn't care too much, the black dragon, the underground world, this is not something that the City of Dawn can explore now, he still needs time to develop.
"How can I be sure that the artifact's message is genuine? If all you have is this useless news, it means nothing to me. ”
Hearing Li De's questioning, Yule's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and suddenly a thumb-sized fragment appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Your Majesty Iro, this is a horn torn off from the Twelve Magic Scrolls by the Black Dragon......"
Li De's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, he was not interested in that corner, but, this goblin actually had space equipment??
That's a rarity.
As for the thumb-sized, gray material like a parchment roll, Li De didn't care at all, if it was really an artifact, how could it be torn off by a goblin, wasn't it a joke?
After taking it from Yule, he looked at the properties of the fragment with a somewhat nonchalant attitude.
Mysterious fragments
Collateral Attributes: Restore 10 mana per second after wearing, and be immune to all of the following legendary probes, immune to mind control, and reduce mana backlash by 50%.
Description: Appears to be an unimportant fragment in the corner of an artifact.
What the hell?? What kind of international joke, this inconspicuous-looking piece of paper turned out to be an artifact fragment???
Li De's eyes were about to pop out.
This is outrageous, isn't it?,How can a weak goblin tear off a piece from the artifact?? Can you have the power to damage the artifact and go directly to slay the dragon?
This thing is so bizarre.
It was so bizarre that even if the artifact fragment was placed in front of Li De, it was difficult for him to accept it.
Originally, he just wanted to get the goblins back to Daybreak City and let them make bombs for the Demon Bat, hoping to strengthen Daybreak City's air force.
Now that the twelve magic scrolls were suddenly pulled up, what was even more ridiculous was that a small goblin actually took out the fragments of the artifact.
It's too dreamy and absurd.
This sudden turn of events really complicated Li De's heart, which was not the slightest psychological preparation.
Li De naturally took this artifact fragment into his pocket, and after wearing it, he recovered 10 points of magic power per second, he would not let go of such a powerful attribute, as for the goblin, did he have any objections...... There is something he believes the other party will not have.
After Mei Zizi put it away, Li De was in a good mood, and he got such a powerful equipment for nothing, it was amazing.
"That's all there is to it?" Looking at the dwarf goblin in front of him, he asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Yur shook his head, "Under the crown of Yiluo, there is another piece that is twice as large as this one, and it is now in the hands of our patriarch.
As long as you can rescue the Grey Mountain Tribe, it's all yours. ”
Ahem, Li De almost didn't choke on saliva, and it's not over, it's enough for you to tear off a piece of the artifact, and you even tore out two pieces?!
Am I in the wrong world? When did an artifact that claimed to be indelible by the power of the gods turn out to be torn like paper?
It's just hard to understand.....
But that didn't stop Li De's plans.
After a little shock, his expression changed, with a bit of righteous indignation, as if the orcs had committed some heinous crime.
"I've always had a good opinion of goblins, and this intelligent race deserves everyone's respect.
And those damned orcs dared to bully the city of Riesr and dare to hurt the brave goblins.
The Covenant of Darkness will not end! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the excited Yule without waiting for the other party to speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he said casually, "Yule, it seems that goblins are particularly good at making alchemy bombs?"
I've heard Grote say that goblins' alchemy bombs, like the weapons forged by the dwarves, are appreciated by all the races of Glory. ”
Hearing this, Yuer's eyes instantly lit up, and he immediately had a huge affection for Li De.
Comparing the goblins' alchemy bombs to the weapons forged by the dwarves is definitely the greatest compliment.
"Your discerning eye is enough to amaze the goddess of life, and every time, only goblins can create the most powerful alchemy bomb, and none of us can surpass ......"
There was a bit of pride in his tone.
Li De's smile was even brighter.
Artifact fragments can directly increase his strength, and alchemy bombs can increase the foundation of Daybreak City.
Both are good things.
Children make choices, and he, naturally, wants them all.
"Very well, Yule, I believe that this crisis will not pose a threat to the ancient Grey Mountain Tribe, perhaps this is a new starting point for the Grey Mountain Tribe.
Now, we need to study how to save your people, and I hope that it is best to save them without leaving any one behind", because the loss of even one of them will make his heart ache.
"Yule, trust me, you won't regret your choice today......"
Yule finally heard what he wanted to hear the most, and didn't he give all his chips in the first place for this promise?
"Your Majesty, your personality and character are the noblest in the world, comparable to the moon, and the most worthy of the respect and worship of the goblins.
Yule Gray Mountain sincerely praises you, you are our hope and the eternal sun~"
Li De looked at the excited goblin's expression and was very happy for a while.
Sure enough, the clever goblin is the most honest person in the world.
Praise the Goddess.
Unaware that he had sold himself, and he also gave money to Yule, the trafficker who sold him, who was happy like a child at this time.
ps: After moving, a lot of things haven't been organized, and after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and rushed out of a chapter~ Ha, isn't there some little surprise.
I can't make any mistakes, and some of the trouble is to help me mark it~ I will change it tomorrow.
Sleep, good night my friends.
