Chapter 198: Trolls and Flame Demons
When Loulan heard this, he immediately agreed, and this business with Gregory not only did not affect his income, but also completed his goal of winning over the powerful force of the Goblin Dungeon, which was much more cost-effective than when he assisted the seaside base, and at the same time, he also earned an extra batch of sophisticated alchemy weapons and equipment, this kind of thing to increase strength, sooner or later, it will also be used.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the power of the goblin dungeon does not look very good, timid and poor, but Loulan has never despised this force, and the reason is also very simple---- can be in a place like exile where the chaos is extreme, and it can still firmly occupy the goblin dungeon, one of the three main cities, such a force will definitely not be weak there, at least not weaker than the four major gangs, after all, the four major gangs do not even have a city now.
"By the way, to show my sincerity!" Gregory continued: "I will first give you 20,000 Dream Tongbao as a deposit for our cooperation. ”
"Give me 20,000 fantasy treasures first?" Hearing this, Loulan looked at Gregory, frowned and said, "Big brother, this doesn't look like your style?" Aren't you afraid that scammers will also meet scammers? ”
"Less nonsense!" Gregory laughed and scolded: "Can I still trust you? Besides, this money was originally your money! Let me also use it to buy food, and in the future, with your food, what use will I ask for money? ”
"My money? 20,000 fantasy treasures? Loulan thought about it when she heard this, and immediately said, "By the way, I remembered, isn't that endless gold bag your thing?" ”
"Hehe, that shitty thing is useful to you, it's almost a waste to me, a fantasy treasure every day, hmph" Gregory shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's just half a pound of dried earthworms, how can your corn be delicious?" ”
"Speaking of the golden bag" Lou Lan's heart moved when she heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, where are the other two, what are you... ”
"The other two?" Gregory said suspiciously, "I only know that there are two of them, I have one here, and the other one is said to be in the hands of the Crocodiles." ”
"Oh? What a coincidence! Loulan's eyes flashed when she heard this, and she said: "Endless gold bag, it seems that I will be able to make a pair soon... Strange, why is it so hot all of a sudden? ”
As she spoke, Loulan suddenly felt that the temperature had risen a lot, and the passage to the goblin dungeon, which had been extremely dim, had suddenly become as bright as day.
"I guess I'm on the territory of the Flame Demon Tribe!" When Gregory heard this, he immediately said: "It's almost time to get here, the dungeon and the fire demon tribe are only a river away, and we will go home soon." ”
"Firefiend?" Hearing this, Loulan lost her voice and said, "You mean, that... The kind of flame demon who is dozens of meters tall, covered in burning flames, and holding a sharp sword and a fire whip? ”
"Yes," Grigory said as a matter of course, "you describe it quite vividly, why have you ever seen the Fire Demon?" ”
"Isn't that kind of guy dangerous?" When Loulan heard this, she immediately said, "They won't attack us, right?" No, I'm going to have to go see Jingyun and them. ”
"Firefiend is a goblin companion!" Gregory was surprised: "Why don't you know? In ancient times, we goblins also had a name called Trolls, and we are related to the Fire Demon! ”
"Trolls? Relatives? Hearing this, Loulan said in a lost voice: "This... No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it! ”
"Since you're not at ease, let's go out and have a look!" Gregory laughed and said, "But you have to be prepared, because there is more than one fire demon out there!" ”
After Gregory had finished speaking, he took Loulan out of the carriage, which was three stories high, not only wide but also surrounded by a deck, all surrounded by guardrails, and the edges of the guardrails were decorated with many ferns.
After stepping out of the carriage, Loulan was immediately stunned by the underground world in front of her:
The sky-like black dome is even higher than Loulan's sight, at least about two thousand meters, and under the dome, there is an endless underground world, with green moss, red lava, fluorescent ferns, and shiny stones everywhere, and unknown animal activities can be vaguely seen.
A huge castle like a mountain stands a few hundred meters in front of it, and in front of the castle there is an underground river tens of meters wide, rushing and flowing through, and the rapids roll the water at the edge of the castle, making a roar like the waves of the sea.
A straight and flat road led from the castle gate to the foot of Loulan, and even extended to the path behind him, to the surface world, and on either side of this road, there were two low-lying basins up to a hundred meters deep, and dozens of fire demons were in the basins on both sides at the moment.
The reason why Loulan felt hot was because of the scorching aura that emanated from these guys all the time, these terrifying desolate demonic beasts were very calm at this time, and they did not show any intention to attack because of the appearance of Loulan and them, on the contrary, they ignored Loulan and them at all.
"Loulan, come and see" Gregory pulled Loulan, suddenly pointed to the basin under his feet, and said: "In the basin on the left, there are twelve wide wells, and the wells are full of hot magma, and the fire demons feed on those magma; In the basin on the right, there are also twelve wide wells, and the wells are full of thick underground black oil, which is the drink of the fire demons, and to them it is like water, indispensable; These wells were built for them by our goblins. ”
Loulan looked down when she heard this, and soon found that just as Gregory had said, red lava could be seen moving slowly in the wide well on the left, and many fire demons were sitting on the edge of the well, and they only needed to reach out and scoop up a large handful of magma, stuff it into their mouths and chew it; The wide well on the right is thick black grease, which looks no different from oil and crude oil, and there are also many fire demons sitting or standing here, poking their heads into the well from time to time, like a long whale sucking water, drinking the oil inside, although the oil will quickly burn into a flowing flame, but it does not affect them to be drunk into the stomach by the fire demons.
After the oil in the well was drunk, the flames were quickly extinguished, revealing a magic array at the bottom of the well like a ghostly talisman, and in the next second, there would be oil seeping out from the ground under the magic array, and soon it would fill a well, but there would be no overflow in the slightest.
"Normally, the two kinds of food that the fire demons need to survive cannot coexist in one place," Gregory continued: "The magma exists on the top of the volcano, and the black oil exists in the depths of the earth, the two can never be together, once they meet, they will burn violently and become inedible, in order to survive, the fire demons must keep running between the two places, these terrible ancient monsters, in fact, are also very sad, food has been restricting their lives." ”
"In my hometown, a great philosopher once said that highly intelligent beings are slaves to money, and low-intelligent beings are slaves to food!" Hearing this, Loulan couldn't help but say, "Could it be that this flame demon is actually a creature with low intelligence?" ”
"I don't know if they're low-sapient creatures," Gregory thought for a moment and said, "However, they will never be able to put these two foods together on their own, and we goblins will have to do it." ”
"By making all kinds of powerful machines and tools, we goblins can easily open up and transform the underground world," Gregory continued: "Changing the terrain, changing the course of underground rivers, building underground castles, building a network of underground passages, digging drainage channels for lava and black oil, etc., etc., we goblins are like engineers of the underground world, working tirelessly every day. ”
"You help these firedemons get food easily, and they keep you safe!" Hearing this, Loulan asked, "Is that so?" ”
"Yes and no," Grigory said with a smile, "Keeping us safe is only one aspect, and more importantly, we have made a lot of money from it." ”
"Earned a fortune?" Loulan thought for a long time when she heard this, and finally shook her head and said, "I don't understand! ”
"The firelord's dung," Gregory said, "after being digested by the firelord, there will be a lot of rare metals and gems in the magma and black oil that will be purified, and those are very good alchemy materials, and we will make these things into alchemy, which can not only meet the daily engineering consumption, but also sell some of them in exchange for food and some alchemical materials." ”
