Chapter 173: A Gift from the Gods

Ente, who extinguished the flames, was quickly canceled by Hu Bin on his own initiative, which was also a helpless move, and every time he transformed, the ordinary stone that Ente made up his body would become very brittle, and he would continue to drop slag when he moved. Fortunately, the Goblin King has retreated, otherwise this scene would have made a comeback.

The old mercenary Gurion was pulled out from under the goblin's corpse and luckily picked up a life, while Harvey, a clever guy, survived to the end by relying on the actor-like tricks of playing dead, but was almost trampled to death by the goblin's stinky feet, and was ridiculed by the other mercenaries for a while.

Hu Bin found that although the mercenaries suffered heavy casualties, most of them were seriously injured and did not die, although the goblin offensive was crazy, but the main attention was on the mercenaries who were still fighting, and the mercenaries who were seriously injured and fell to the ground were not attractive in their eyes, maybe their desire to eat fresh human flesh took over, and deliberately left these seriously wounded.

However, the seriously injured mercenaries are useless for the time being, after the first battle, although the goblins lost more than 10,000 soldiers, but the mercenary side was also half a catty and eight taels, and directly killed 700 people, and almost 1,000 people lost their combat effectiveness.

However, the mercenaries did not care, they regained their confidence in this victory, and it turned out that the goblins' crowd tactics were not invincible, and many of them squandered the bounties they received after the battle, exchanged a large pile of food and ale from the supply convoy that came with them, and held a banquet directly on the battlefield that had not yet been cleared. Grimmar secretly asked his caravan to bring more wine and food next time, and the gold coins that the mercenaries had exchanged for their lives quickly returned to Hu Bin's pocket.

This victory was not just as simple as forcing back the goblins, after Hu Bin had consolidated the wooden walls of the outpost in one day, he continued to go deep into the mine and set up a sentry point above another slope that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this place was already very close to the ore vein, and it was finally time for the hundreds of thousands of gold coins to be invested.

Probably frightened by Ente, the Goblins shrank their sphere of influence. No matter how much the mercenaries probed the surface of the mines, they could not find their tracks, and the deep areas of the mines were narrow and dark, too dangerous to penetrate, which made it impossible for the mercenaries to hunt goblins in exchange for gold, let alone maintain the food and alcohol supply in the camp.

But even if the mercenaries wanted to be idle, Hu Bin wouldn't let these guys waste their energy in the camp. In order to plunder the ore here as soon as possible, Hu Bin directly used gold coins to open the way, attracting mercenaries to change pickaxes and shovels to become miners, pushing wheelbarrows to the nearby ore veins to dig mines. The goblin's compromise enlivens the mines. Every day, the sound of tinkling mining echoes here, and the truckload after cart of Mithril ore makes Hu Bin's heart flutter, and it also makes the Hebrew group envious, they have worked hard here for a month, but they have not gained as much as a day.

Not only that, but a mercenary came from the mining area to report that they had found a black associated ore in the Mithril vein, and after Hu Bin went to the mining area to identify it, he was pleased to find that these associated ores were actually obsidian. As a mage. Hu Bin is well aware of the effects of this ore, obsidian has a strong aversion and heat resistance, can be mixed into armor to improve magic resistance, and its reliable hardness can also be used as the main material to make weapons directly. It can also be used as a base material for jewelry to carry a high-strength magic array, because of its demon-averse nature, the engraved magic circle will be very stable and not easy to be affected by the outside world. If there are enough of them, you can also use a special method to make high-level gargoyles, which are good helpers for mage protection.

But that's not the best option. Because Ente was already on the verge of going crazy in the ring, obsidian was the most ideal body material for him at this stage, if it weren't for Hu Bin's magic power hadn't recovered. He even jumped out on the spot to mine himself.

Oddly enough, obsidian is generally found near hot volcanoes and is not commonly found elsewhere, not to mention that it is not an associated mineral. But Hu Bin knew that most of these ores were produced by the high-temperature radiation of the fire demons for thousands of years, because Mithril itself was a precious metal with good demonic properties, and the associated ore could never be these demon-weary stones.

But whatever the origin of these obsidian, they have been taken by Uncle Ent, and a lot of Mithril ore has been plundered, and then Entre fell into retreat, according to his final message, he needs a while to reconstruct his body composition, and he will surprise Hu Bin when the time comes. But Hu Bin didn't want any surprises, the main combat force was absent, what should I do if the goblins made a comeback, did I want him to hack the tens of thousands of goblins to death with a whip and a sword, wouldn't this be to tire his own rhythm. But no matter how Hu Bin called Ente, this guy just didn't respond and went on strike properly.

Fortunately, after a week, the goblins did not come to harass Hu Bin's mining business again, and the backpacks of several numbered people were almost crowded with these ores, and just as they were about to return to space satisfied, the goblins attacked again.

However, this time, the Goblin King did not immediately order his men to attack, but instead showed up to ask for negotiations with the human side, much to the surprise of the mercenaries. Hu Bin didn't think about directly using the bed crossbow to kill the goblin king on the other side, but the goblins got a big wooden shield out of nowhere and pressed it in front of the goblin king, and the thickness was difficult to penetrate even the bed crossbow.

Okov, Grimmar and others were adamantly opposed to Hu Bin coming forward to negotiate with the Goblin King, and other numberers such as Hebrew were not very optimistic about this negotiation, they knew that goblins were known for their cunning and treachery, and it was too dangerous for Hu Bin to go alone. But Hu Bin decided to go on the grounds that he could return to the space at any time, and he only brought Grimmar with him, anyway, this guy didn't have much strength in the first place, even if he was demoted and resurrected after death, there was not much loss. And Grimmar, who didn't know why, was moved by Hu Bin's move, thinking that he was trusted by Hu Bin, and his loyalty had improved a lot again, and he could have crossed the 80-point mark.

Hu Bin and the Goblin King met in a hall in the mine, and the Goblin King sat on a palanquin carried by many goblins and slowly came to the negotiation site, while the surrounding pillars were full of shadows of goblin warriors, and when he saw that only two humans were coming, he immediately became impatient, but the Goblin King stopped them with a roar.

"Human, I admit that you are courageous, but your encroachment on my territory is despicable." The Goblin King came up and took over the righteousness of the word with a clear lingua franca. It has the temperament of a human politician who debates when he meets a political opponent, which greatly surprises Grimmar, who is a purebred politician by training.

Grimmar did not hesitate to quote scriptures, starting from the origin of the Moria Mine at the beginning of the Third Age, until the recent fall of the Fire Demon, and the Goblin King was stunned, anyway, it proved from all aspects that Hu Bin, who participated in the killing of the Fire Demon, was the rightful owner of the Moriath Mine.

Of course, the Goblin King is gone, so let's start with the orcs to talk about it, and the news about this place from his goblin clan is from the orcs, as the de facto owner who has been entrenched here before. The goblins inherited this place from them, and of course they are qualified to be the masters of this place.

The two guys with completely different species and stature actually had a heated debate in this gloomy mine, and in the end, the content of the debate even deviated from the original ownership of the mine, leaving the goblins and Hu Bin, who were in the audience next to them, stunned.

In the end, it was Grimmar who remembered his duty and brought the conversation back, and the Goblin King wiped his spitting chin curtly, but Grimmar's eyes were much better. It's no wonder that the Goblin King reacts like this, after all, as an intelligent guy. Surrounded by a group of stupid people every day, there is not even a single one who can speak, and it is good that he does not go crazy, and this feeling of being caught between wild beasts and intelligent species is painful to think about.

After a chattering addict, the Goblin King finally told the purpose of his negotiation. He didn't think it would be a good idea to continue the stalemate like this, as the legendary fire giant had scared his people and threatened his rule, as most goblins had suggested quitting. After all, the Goblin Race is not completely at the mercy of the Goblin King. Instinct makes the goblins want to stay away from here, and even the Goblin King, who is the spiritual leader and the brain of the clan, can't organize it.

Hearing this, Hu Bin secretly felt funny. I was about to give up here, but I didn't expect the goblin clan to take the initiative to send it up and let me slaughter it. Hu Bin unceremoniously asked for a large amount of Mithril ore, and then handed over the issue of repaying the money after the sky-high asking price to Grimmar, believing that relying on Grimmar's incorruptible tongue, he would get no less from the goblins this time.

Ten carts full of ore slowly drove towards the harbor where the Silver Moon was moored, this is the benefit that Hu Bin got from the goblin clan, the goblin clan is worthy of being a natural miner on the same level as the dwarf clan, and actually dug so much ore in just one month of occupying the mine, and Grimmar only knocked out a small part, but this is enough to make Hu Bin earn a lot of money.

Most of the mercenaries were dismissed directly by Hu Bin, there was no attraction to the task, and it was useless for them to stay here, but no one had an extra piece of Mithril ore in their pockets to make them better for the rest of their lives, Hu Bin paid them directly as a reward for some supplies that could not be taken away, but there was a large amount of commission left, and a lot of space was freed up for the ore waiting to be transported, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Gurion took a group of mercenaries to eat a few bed crossbows with their own commissions, and directly set up a large mercenary group, relying on the strong crossbows left by Hu Bin, as well as the cooperation honed when resisting goblins, they can form a small army that is not inferior to the regular infantry regiment, of course, this has nothing to do with Hu Bin, and when the Silver Moon is filled with ore, Hu Bin will set off for the Blue Mountains, where he retrieves the predetermined armor, and finally returns to the initial space.

The journey back to the Blue Mountains was much shorter because of the downstream, but Hebrew and the others had already traveled enough, so they simply returned directly to their initial space, leaving only Hu Bin on the huge Silver Moon and slowly drifting. Grimmar recently brought back bad news from the inner line of the Rohan Kingdom, the human expeditionary force suffered a defeat near the fortress of Barado, and the Orcs of Moria unexpectedly outflanked the back of the coalition army, and the Orcs of Modo in front of them were flanked on both sides. Although with the efforts of Aragorn and Boromir and others, the human alliance finally repelled the orcs on both sides, the coalition forces with heavy losses lost the strength to continue the expedition, and the top brass of the two countries were already considering the issue of withdrawing troops. Although they all knew the consequences of letting Sauron go, Gandalf and Aragorn's argument for an advance was dismissed as if the remnants of the army were now defeated and attacked Modor rather than sent to death.

The fate of Middle-earth was tilted in favor of the dark side, and everyone knew how fierce and unstoppable Sauron's next attack would be. But after all, the war is over for the time being, and humanity has gained a brief peace, although it is more like a respite in the cracks.

The defeat of the expedition did not affect the atmosphere here in the Blue Mountains, but was made much more lively by the return of the dwarven army that fought in the west. Lorraine has allowed the teachings of Elune, the goddess of nature, to spread throughout the land, and temples have been quickly built by food-hungry dwarves at any cost. And the goddess Elune also attached great importance to this land of faith, and on the day the temple was built, a large magic was actually sent down, which transformed the land here, so that the yield of food crops increased a lot, and also gave the dwarves some high-yield crop seeds that had been specially blessed by the hands of Lorraine. It left a foreshadowing for the future hostage of the dwarves. But apparently the goddess Elune was too worried, compared to the native gods who did not have the slightest miracle to come, the Cult of Nature God naturally had more weight in the hearts of pragmatic dwarves, and many true believers of the dwarf race were born here. Some human merchants actually began to believe in this powerful goddess of nature, and spread her faith to the human world, which was also unexpected by Goddess Elune, of course, which made Hu Bin's credit a lot greater.

Hu Bin was also encouraged by the scene of the Blue Mountains thriving under the flickering of the goddess Elune, after all, this will be his second cross-space trade location, of course, the more prosperous the better. However, what Hu Bin has to do now is to retrieve the custom-made armor from the dwarven master. I believe that the rune forging technology that is known in the world of the Lord of the Rings will not disappoint you.

Sure enough, when he saw the shining silver metal armor, Hu Bin admitted that he was deeply attracted. The overall structure of the armor is designed to inherit the heavy and calm artistic style of the dwarves, with sharp edges and corners at the edges. On the whole, it looks atmospheric and flexible, gorgeous and stable. When Hu Bin took over this armor to identify the attributes, he was finally shocked by the hint of space, and the manual fee that the dwarf master asked for 200,000 gold coins before was definitely not much.

"Rune Language-Binko's Mithril Bust (Heavy Armor)

Grade: Rare

Attribute: Strength +5. Charisma +3

Additional Trait Magic: Energy conduction is not weakened by heavy armor

Additional trait Runeword: King's Grace

King's Grace: 100% damage bonus to undead creatures, 100% damage bonus to demonic creatures, 3 bonus to all spell resistances.

Description: This is a perfect piece of work that has been carved for the first time. ”

In fact, Mithril is not the best material for making armor. Although it was not reflected in the spatial attributes, Hu Bin knew that good magic guidance and malleability were destined to have a very low physical and magical defense of this armor, which was not as good as a steel plate armor. However, Hu Bin spent so much money that he wanted to get more than just an armor that could allow him to charge.

The language of runes, this is Hu Bin's biggest gain in this world, each of the three attribute bonuses can make the numberer crazy, and the guest master as the pinnacle of the world's craftsmen, how can the fine products passed down in his hands leave a fatal weakness, in fact, the whole Mithril texture is exactly the most essential part of this armor.

Master Binko's runic words are inscribed in the center of the armor, and the magic patterns that stabilize the rune energy are almost all over every corner of the front armor, forming a mysterious and magnificent pattern, which is the embodiment of the true strength of the top master of the Lord of the Rings. The secrets on the armor are not only these, although Master Binke only promised Hu Bin to engrave a rune word, but he left space in various parts of the armor to engrave the magic circle.

The large blank space on the back made Hu Bin understand that the appreciation space of this armor was far beyond his imagination, and the flat position deliberately left behind also showed the master's great expectations for the future of this work.

Hu Bin solemnly put this magic armor that can be regarded as a half-finished product into his storage space, although he knew that he might not be able to complete this equipment for a long time, but the difficulty of obtaining legendary equipment is really prohibitive, and it is much simpler to ask some high-level mage professional plot characters to engrave a few high-level magic circles in comparison, you must know that Hu Bin is now a tyrant-level person with a large number of Mithril ore, and he is not afraid that those mages will not be moved.

When it was finally time to return to the original space, Hu Bin also had mixed feelings about this world. Because of the chaotic entry of the numberer and the covert manipulation of the space, the Human Alliance still fell into an absolute disadvantage step by step, and the protagonist-level characters such as Aragorn, who was originally lucky, became the prey of the focus of the space, while Sauron was like Elune and other gods who supported themselves to fight against the puppets of the native gods, maybe joining the dark camp at the beginning was the best choice. There is no news of the numbered people who participated in the expedition after the attack on the human alliance, and most of them were recalled by the space on the mission, after all, the numbered people suffered a lot of casualties this time, and the rest of them are the essence of the numberers.

After a flash of white light, Hu Bin disappeared into the wilderness near the Blue Mountains, followed by Grimmar, Lorraine, and Ted. And Okov and the others were left in the dwarf city to wait for Hu Bin's recruitment.

The familiar feeling of vertigo made Hu Bin slightly uncomfortable, but the more familiar environment made him a little confused, Hu Bin actually did not return directly to his Muradin City, but came to a place he had been before.

The goddess Elune sat on the throne and waited for Hu Bin to slowly wake up, and then looked at him with interest as a confused expression, but soon the expression on Hu Bin's face was replaced by a sneer.

"Great Goddess, what do you have to call your faithful believers?" Hu Bin, who knew a little about the relationship between the gods and space, did not regard himself as an outsider at all, and sat directly on the floor of the main hall, took out the food, and began to eat and drink and relax.

After seeing Hu Bin's presumptuous appearance, Elune not only did not get angry, but curled her lips with interest. Soon Hu Bin noticed that the food in his mouth had a strange taste. When I spit it out, I saw that it had grown hair. Hu Bin, who hurriedly spit out the residue, finally remembered what he had done last time he molested the goddess, and it seemed that the goddess remembered this incident deeply, and let him taste the taste of expired food.

After punishing Hu Bin. Goddess Elune didn't speak, she waved her hand directly, and Hu Bin received a hint of space.

"Number 000003, the High Lord God Elune is issuing a mysterious mission to you. The mission level is unknown, the difficulty is unknown, and the reward is not (the reward is issued by the task initiator.) The space receives a certain commission from it), whether the numberer accepts it, yes/no. ”

Hu Bin was a little confused, such a strange task would not be easily accepted by anyone, but Hu Bin rolled his eyes and readily accepted the task of the goddess, because he believed that Goddess Elune, as a main god-level character, would not use this kind of trick to pit such a small role as herself.

"Show me what you've gained in that world." The goddess Elune finally spoke, and Hu Bin did not hesitate, directly released a large number of things from the space ring, and then a large battleship full of Mithril ore appeared in the main hall across the void.

The goddess Elune frowned at the pile of things Hu Bin had taken out, which contained both armor, weapons, food, and cloth with no attributes, as well as orc trophies with the smell of blood, which looked chaotic above this majestic temple. The goddess waved her hand again, and the loot and non-attribute sundries that Hu Bin had collected with great difficulty instantly turned into a little stardust and dissipated in the hall, although this situation made Hu Bin feel a little distressed, but it was not enough to move him with deep pockets, Hu Bin continued to watch the goddess's next move patiently, but when the goddess lifted the remaining items on the ground to the front, Hu Bin could no longer calm down.

The scorching chains, the fire demon from the Moriath Mines, the trolls' boss's stick, an elite trolls' hand from the Moria's mines, and Gandalf's spell essentials, this item that is not even equipment but is equally valuable is juxtaposed with the first two items.

The goddess didn't pay attention to these three things at a glance, she focused on the next piece of equipment, which was the Mithril bust that Hu Bin had just received and hadn't yet covered the heat.

"The craft is still alive." The goddess took the half-body armor, stroked the runes engraved on it, and said lukewarmly, so that Hu Bin smiled bitterly when he heard it, this goddess is really joking, maybe only artifact-level items can really get into the eye, but Master Binko can actually make this terrible goddess with high vision say a word, which can be regarded as a good ability.

The goddess's act of casually putting down the half-body armor made Hu Bin secretly relieved, but the subsequent scene surprised Hu Bin.

"What is this?" Goddess Elune's eyes widened as she picked up an item that Hu Bin had forgotten about, it was Gandalf's beard, a "rare" item that had been plucked out by the Holy Sword Elves and was useless except to prove the adultery between Gandalf and the Elven Queen, which could actually move the Goddess.

Goddess Elune grabbed the beard tightly with one hand, waved her hand with the other, Hu Bin's other items flashed a light and returned to him, Hu Bin checked it, and found that these equipment had been opened, simply put, it was no need to spend points to exchange for space items.

"How is this possible?" Although Hu Bin didn't shout, the hellish expression revealed his heart, although there was some unclear hookup between the space and the gods, but the two sides did not interfere with their respective actions, but the identification of the space showed that the goddess of nature did convert the items obtained in these plot worlds into space items.

"Surprised?" Goddess Elune shook the beard in her hand and said lightly.

Hu Bin nodded sluggishly, he even wondered if the space had already sold himself to Elune, that strange mission looked like a deed of sale.

"The technology of converting items produced by a single plane into a multi-faceted universal one was originally provided to you by the gods, but we use divine power, and you use other alien energy, in short, it is the same path, there is nothing surprising."

Hu Bin nodded, although this matter seems a little incredible, but the gods are known to be omnipotent, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to figure it out, but Hu Bin didn't react for a while. This gesture of the goddess can be regarded as a gift, but what makes Hu Bin puzzled is why the powerful goddess Elune is so interested in a bad old man's hair, is it ...... (To be continued......)
