Chapter 4: Elderly Goblins*3
"Welcome."
A middle-aged man's deep voice came from behind a mahogany counter.
It's a shop that sells monsters and related items, and it's decorated with antique decorations, and it looks a bit like a cultural store.
The shopkeeper stood up and looked at the book with a smile on his face.
"What do you need?"
"The cheapest monster in the store...... How much does it cost? ”
Zhang Ju looked around, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper.
"Fanye Dog, a one-star ordinary monster, costs 11,000 federal coins."
The shopkeeper neatly took down a sandalwood wooden box from the side shelf, and after opening it, there were several beautifully crafted card containers inside, and one of the containers was unfolded left and right, a total of three sides, and each side contained a black Fanye dog template.
"Is there anything cheaper?"
Hearing Zhang Shu's words, the shopkeeper had a thoughtful look on his face, and after a moment, he pulled out a dusty and dilapidated wooden box from the clutter behind him, and after opening it, a simple glass box lay inside.
After the hidden buckle, there are three monster templates that are directly stacked on top of each other like that.
"Elderly goblins, one-star inferior monsters, you also saw it, it hasn't been sold for a while, if you want, give me 28,000 federal coins, and the three can be taken together."
The shopkeeper nudged the glass box in the direction of the booklet, motioning for him to take a look.
"That's fine, but can I pay a portion upfront?"
Zhang Shu closed the glass box, did not look closely, just looked directly at the shopkeeper, and said tentatively.
"How much do you pay upfront?"
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, but Zhang Shu heard the possibility from this ambiguous answer.
Turn on the FC meter on the left wrist, and the account balance is displayed, 2800 federal coins.
Zhang Ji showed the value to the boss and signaled that it was all he could come up with.
The shopkeeper sighed, if he paid half of it first, he might have gambled that this obviously newcomer in front of him would come out of the verandah alive, and was about to refuse, but he heard Zhang Shu speak.
"I will pay the rest within five days, and I am willing to increase the amount of compensation if it is overdue."
With his eyes half-squinted, the shopkeeper thought about it, for a guardian, if he was lucky enough to hunt a few monsters, it would not be impossible to make up the cost in a few days, and even if he was overdue, he would be able to get more compensation, and the price was only three monsters that were not easy to shoot.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper cleared his throat and said slowly:
"In this way, your money is considered a deposit, and the rest will be paid within three days, but if you breach the contract, you need to pay double the price of compensation, which is my maximum concession."
"Okay."
Zhang Ji didn't think about it for too long, so he nodded, and then a contract from Jin Yiming, the owner of Yum Monster Pavilion, came from the FC instrument.
After signing the agreement, Zhang Ji handed over the only 2,800 federal coins to Jin Yiming, took the three monsters in the glass box and left.
After that, Zhang Shu went to the [Federal Imperial Guardian Association] again, registered the three monsters, and his Imperial Guardian level finally became [First Order].
After everything was done, it was getting dark, Zhang Ji returned to Li Guohui's house, and after dinner, he chatted briefly and did not mention the matter of the imperial guard.
Then Zhang Ji went back to the house and lay down on the bed, and looked up the details of the verandah [Green Valley], which he had chosen.
Because the strength of the monsters inside is relatively low, after all, he only has three one-star low-level old goblins in his hands, and he can't deal with monsters that are too strong.
The night was spent waiting for the dawn.
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ju opened his eyes, naturally woke up, and after cleaning up, he said hello and went straight to the [Green Valley].
It wasn't long before a solid wall appeared in front of Zhang's eyes, and he came to the gate, in front of a detection device.
"Identity detection passed, first-order imperial guard book."
"Welcome to Verandah 18563 [Valley of Greenery]."
An electronic synthesized sound sounded, and the door opened, and the first thing the album saw was the Federal troops stationed inside, all kinds of heavy weapons facing the spatial crack in the center.
However, due to the establishment of the Otherworldly Corridor, it has become a second-tier place, and the overall atmosphere is full of a sense of relaxation.
Before the album, there were already a few imperial guards who had entered here, only to see them walking towards the spatial crack and stepping directly into it.
Zhang Ju also walked to the crack in the light cyan space, without any hesitation, he stepped into it, only to feel that after a flash of light, Zhang Ju entered the verandah of the other world.
He rubbed his eyebrows with the palm of his hand, and tried his best to eliminate the dizziness caused by the first time he crossed the spatial rift.
After a few moments, Zhang Ji opened his eyes, and the otherworldly corridor appeared before his eyes.
What you see is a completely different scene from the current world!
The hundred-meter-high gray green mountain wall surrounds the entire valley, and it is full of life, with unusually tall and lush trees, a murmuring blue stream, and rich greenery!
The verandah where the album is located is in the center of the valley, surrounded by high walls, which is different from the verandah of the present world, and the people here are all dressed casually, except for the soldiers who are cautious and guarded on the high walls.
There are even quite a few people who have set up stalls on the ground, selling some armor weapons and the like, as well as monsters in the hands of traders.
But Zhang Shu was not in the mood to observe this, his time was limited, and he had to hunt at least three monsters within three days to ensure that the agreement would not expire.
Identifying the direction of the exit, the book shuttled through the crowd and quickly left the verandah through the gate.
After entering the [Green Valley], Zhang Shu first summoned three elderly goblins, and a flash of light flashed, and Zhang Shu saw his monster for the first time.
He has blue-green skin, a long nose and ears, yellow eyes with vertical pupils, and beast-like sharp teeth, and an overall fierce aura.
But they are only about one meter and two tall, and the deep wrinkles on their faces show that they are not too old, and their muscles that were originally clear and tight are also a little relaxed, and they each hold a heavy wooden staff in their hands.
But even so, they still have some savage power beyond ordinary humans.
[Name: Elderly Goblin]
[Rating: 1 Star]
[Quality: Inferior]
[Race: Goblins]
[Output Veranda: Goblin Tribe]
[Skill Introduction: [Staff Strike] Use the heavy wooden staff in your hand to swing at the target with all your strength and give a heavy blow. ]
[Notes: Goblins at the bottom of the Goblin Tribe.] ]
Zhang Shu sensed that there was a magical spiritual connection between himself and the three elderly goblins he had summoned, and they would be completely obedient to his will.
Immediately, Zhang Ji commanded them to be distributed in a triangle two meters beside him, surrounding him in the center, so that he could ensure his own safety as much as possible in the dangerous other world.
Then, Zhang Ji Fang continued to move forward, although the name of this place is [Green Valley], but it is only named according to the terrain and scenery, and a person who is not careful will be killed by the monsters inside.
It didn't take long for Zhang Ji to vaguely see a shadow flash in the distance, and he instantly mobilized the three old goblins and walked in that direction.
"Huh!"
But at this moment, in the grass behind Zhang Shu, a slender green shadow suddenly stretched out, through the gap between the old goblins, and came straight towards him!
Zhang Zhang, who had been cautiously on guard, instantly felt the cold wind behind him, and his body instinctively dodged, and he was able to dodge the attack.
Looking back, the slender green shadow turned out to be a thick vine!
With a missed blow, the vine attacked the book again like a living thing.
At this time, Zhang Shu had already reacted and quickly ordered the three elderly goblins to fight back.
The vine struck a few blows, its roots writhing in pain, and quickly reaching back into the grass.
"That's ...... Living Root Vine?! ”
