Chapter 199: Goblin Dungeon
"In this way, raising flame demons is much more cost-effective than raising chickens and cows!" Hearing this, Lou Lan looked at those flame demons with bright eyes, and said, "With such a big size, it should be able to pull a lot every day, right?" ”
"Poof!" Gregory almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine when he heard this, and said with a black line on his face: "This... I don't know the specifics, so it should be okay! ”
As the two spoke, the convoy had passed through the Firefiend's colony and arrived at the majestic Goblin City.
Completely contrary to the short stature of the goblin, the huge goblin dungeon will make people feel like a mountain looking up, the outermost city wall alone is as high as 100 meters, and the buildings inside are at least twice as tall as the city wall, it is hard to imagine why such a short race would build their city so huge?
The shape of the dungeon is very complex, with pointed cylindrical buildings everywhere, which looks like a medieval European castle complex, and it seems that dozens of castles are stacked together, which is very crowded.
On the outer wall of the castle, there are a large number of goblin warriors patrolling back and forth, every ten meters or so on the city wall, a trebuchet or repeating bow cart is deployed, and in the center of the city wall, there is a silver terror weapon---- magic cannon, the most terrifying war weapon in the magic civilization, it is said that even the dragon does not dare to confront it head-on.
Seeing this scene, Loulan also secretly admired: the astonishing scale of the building, the sufficient preparation for war, and the large number of fire demons guarding, no wonder the goblin clan can steadily occupy this place, from the establishment of the city to the present, standing for nearly a hundred years.
At the entrance to the dungeon, the huge gates had long since opened, and along the wide, almost empty road, the convoy drove straight into the interior of the city, heading straight for the location of the Gregorian palace.
"The prayer ceremony will take place when the bell strikes midnight!" After entering Goblin City, Gregory and Loulan returned to the carriage and said, "The great Goblin God will come to the mortal world and personally bless us both with the link of life. ”
"Your Majesty, this matter ... I think it's better to forget it! Loulan thought for a while and said, "Our human life span is relatively short, and it is so unfair to you that we humans died on the same day, the same month, and the same year as me!" ”
"Nothing unfair!" Gregory said lightly: "Anything in this world has a price, in order to cooperate with you, I am willing to pay such a price, besides, I have not suffered a loss, I will eat the food of your farm every day in the future, my life will be extended a lot, and you, in order to live a few more years, will definitely pay special attention to my health, our business will last forever, my goblin clan will make a fortune and prosper within a thousand years, where do you say I suffered?" ”
"This... Seems to make some sense! Loulan thought about it when she heard this, sighed and said, "In this way, this life link has to be carried out, otherwise you will not fully believe me." ”
"As a former liar, I only believe in myself!" Gregory said: "I know very well that the power of our goblins is actually dispensable to you, so I can only use this method to maintain our relationship, as a cowardly goblin, I did a big stupid thing, but as a king, I did the right thing." ”
"Your Majesty, you are such an admirable person!" Loulan was stunned when she heard this, and said, "You are not a liar and a coward, but a great and veritable king of the goblins!" ”
"Alright, let's not talk about that, the palace has prepared a welcome dinner." When Gregory heard this, he said, "All the nobles in the entire Goblin Dungeon are waiting for us!" ”
"And dinner?" Hearing this, Loulan lost her voice and said, "What can you eat here?" ”
Facts have proved that Loulan's worries are not superfluous, although the dinner party in the palace is huge and crowded, the food is only terrible food such as dried earthworms and charcoal-grilled geckos, as for the wine, there is not even a glass of water that is not salty, in desperation, of course, he can only be generous again, take out a large amount of food and wine juice from the crop store, and entertain these goblin nobles, anyway, he is now a prince, and he is also half the master of this palace, so he should be a little bit of the friendship of the landlord!
Loulan's generosity was naturally unanimously welcomed by the nobles, and these guys were desperately touting Loulan while eating and drinking, especially those goblin aristocratic women, who kept flattering Loulan, posing for themselves, and revealing their capital, completely ignoring the official Jingyun who was almost murderous next to Loulan.
The women of the goblin clan, strictly speaking, are more like green-skinned elves, except for being shorter, they are very beautiful in all aspects, compared to the male goblins with obscene appearances, it is simply a world of difference, so it is no wonder that Guan Jingyun is jealous.
There are many similarities between the goblin nobles and the human nobles, and they are also crazy and endless as soon as the banquet starts, but fortunately, Gregory is still very calm, and after reaching a basic understanding of Loulan and the nobles, he immediately ended the crazy banquet and continued to set off with Loulan to the Goblin Temple.
Who knew that the news of Loulan's arrival had already spread throughout the city, and the streets of the city had long been crowded with goblin civilians, vying to see the true face of Loulan, the new prince.
Thousands of people blocked the road, which affected the speed of the advance, but in the face of the enthusiastic people, they could not be driven away, and Gregory's personal guards tried their best, but they were unable to effectively clear the road.
Seeing this, Loulan had no choice but to let Wang Yifei and his companions take a lot of corn out of the store and distribute it to the goblin civilians for free.
After arriving at the Goblin Temple, Loulan found that it was a more magnificent and luxurious building than the Goblin Palace, and couldn't help but ask Gregory:
"Your Majesty, your temple is so magnificently built, does your god really live in it?"
"Brother Xian, you are laughing, how can God live here?" Gregory smiled and said, "This is a place where priests prayed to the gods, don't you know, there are nine hundred and eighty-one virgin goblin priests here, and they have to pray every day for a hundred years, and the goblin god will come once, what a time for you to come!" ”
"Gah! What an exaggeration! Hearing this, Loulan stuck out her tongue and said, "I thought that your gods could hear your call and would appear at any time to help you!" ”
"What you said is actually not impossible," Gregory thought for a while and said: "Our goblin clan is sparsely populated here in the exiled land, of course the gods will rarely appear, if it is on the side of the Heavenly Wind Continent, the number of priests in the temple will be a thousand times or ten thousand times that of here, then the speed of prayer will also increase a thousand times, ten thousand times, then the god will come down once in a few months or even a few days to provide us with necessary help." ”
"What a blessing!" Hearing this, Loulan muttered to herself: "We humans also worship God, but no one has seen God in his true form. ”
The hall of the temple is larger than the palace, and on the dome-shaped ceiling, a huge golden six-pointed star circle is carved, and on the ground directly below, there is a silver six-pointed star circle of the same size, and the two six-pointed stars are facing each other, and the position is exactly the same.
On the six-pointed star circle on the ground, a full ninety-nine eighty-one white-robed goblin priestesses knelt in a circle, praying sincerely, according to Gregory, these priestesses were carefully selected goblin noble girls, beautiful and chaste, Grigory told Loulan that when they had completed a full hundred years of pious prayer, they would leave the temple to marry, and all the goblin men would be proud to marry them.
In addition to these white-robed priestesses, there are also six older golden-robed priestesses, who stand on the six horns of the six-pointed star, they are the high priests of the temple, they have been in the temple since birth, and they will never leave this place again in their lives.
When the clock strikes midnight, these six golden-robed priestesses will sing a psalm in praise of God to welcome God's coming!
Those who had the privilege of attending the worship ceremony and witnessing the Goblin Gods were carefully selected: a hundred boys and girls of the Goblin nobility, thirty-five elders of the Goblin Elderhouse and their wives, twenty high-ranking generals of the army and their wives, the dean of the Goinstein Alchemy Academy and his wives, eighteen beautiful princesses and sixty-three children of His Majesty Gregory, plus all the royal family, a total of about five hundred.
Gregory and Loulan stood side by side in the inner circle of the six-pointed star, ready to be the first to welcome the gods.
As the midnight bell struck, the six golden-robed priestesses began to chant hymns of praise, and as soon as the twelve bells rang, an unrivalled force suddenly came, enveloping the entire temple hall.
"Is this the power of the Goblin God? How can it be so amazing? Loulan couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, even in a race with weak individual strength like Goblins, the strength of a god-level powerhouse was as unfathomable as the sea, and it was not something that a martial artist of Loulan's level could face directly.
Except for Gregory himself, the supreme ruler of the Goblin Dungeon, his eyes shone with determination, and he used his strong will to resist the awe that came from his soul.
In an instant, the six-pointed star circle on the dome suddenly shone with golden light, and a voice that almost reached the deepest part of the soul sounded in everyone's ears at the same time:
Believe in me! Adore me! Worship me! Give me everything you have! I am your only protector!
