Chapter 17: Turning Trash into Treasure
Huo ...... Hogg, how was your rest last night?" Langdon looked at Hogg who came up from the 4th basement floor, although this was the third day of Hogg's arrival, but in terms of title, he still felt a little uncomfortable, in the face of such a cute beast-eared cute girl, Langdon really couldn't force himself to associate her with the gnoll who made a weird roar, had bloody flesh on his paws, and spewed a foul smell from his mouth.
"I'm fine, my lord!" replied with a serious look on her face, and in a solemn tone.
This caused Langdon to laugh wryly, he had already guessed that this would be the answer, and he also knew that in fact, Hogg had not rested at all last night, in fact, she had not rested since she came here.
And this all stems from an order from Langdon.
Dozens of goblins were suppressed by Langdon and imprisoned in the 4th floor of the bunker, and even the room where Ella was held was vacated to imprison them, and Langdon's order to Hogg was to use Hogg's interrogation skills to make them truly surrender.
In fact, Langdon's original intention was to let Hogg get rid of the two goblins with the strength of black iron, and the other low-level black iron goblins have been worn by Mihai with sugar gourds, and the remaining 2 have become the absolute leaders of this goblin race, as long as the two of them are obedient, the rest of the goblins will not be a problem.
However, I don't know if Hogg misunderstood what Langdon meant, or if she was originally interested in this ruthlessness, and after it didn't take long to get rid of the two goblins, she began to "re-educate" the other goblins.
Pity these big goblins, who have just been beaten into a nervous breakdown by the mental storm of two spirit sucking monsters, and have not even had a chance to rest, they have been brutally abused again, this time it is not only mental, Hogg has mastered the interrogation technique, and the physical torture is what she is best at and the most.
Well, don't ask Langdon why he knew Hogg liked this, this beast-eared cute girl seemed to be greatly satisfied every morning when she came out of her cell to report to Langdon on her progress, and her spirit was even more energetic and high than that of Langdon who had a good night's rest, and even yesterday morning, Langdon saw a smile on the corner of her mouth - this beast-eared cute girl had maintained a rather serious expression since she appeared, and that was the only time Langdon saw her smile.
Hogg's abusive behavior was quite effective, and when Langdon entered the cell again, two big goblins of black iron took the lead in crawling at his feet and kissing his boots - the big goblins were completely obedient.
In fact, when Langdon successfully caught them, the system had already determined that they were successfully subdued, and the difference from now is the people's heart value, this value represents the satisfaction of the inhabitants of the territory, the higher this value, the more satisfied the territory residents are, and when this value is lower than a certain level, it is likely to inspire the inhabitants to revolt and rebel, and the lower the value, the more likely.
When Langdon subdued the Spiritsuckers, this value was 5, which was already a little surprising to him, because the relationship between him and the Spiritsuckers was a transaction, not even the relationship between the lord and the residents, and it was estimated that the system really couldn't look past it and gave 5 points.
And when the mission is just completed, this value immediately becomes 20, which is still a very low value, and if Langdon ignores those goblins, it may not be long before these goblins will rebel and something like that.
As for now, Langdon is not worried at all, because the popularity value at this time, after Hogg trained those big goblins, has become 80!
This is already an absolutely safe value.
"Detected that 30 goblins can be converted into soldiers, are they converted?"
This is a reminder that pops up after Langdon "inspected" those people, 30 big goblins, which is already equivalent to the average of this race, this number makes Langdon very satisfied, however, Hogg obviously doesn't think so.
"My lord, I don't understand, these wastes, except for being used as slaves and food, have no use, and it is irresponsible for you and your territory to make them soldiers, and I strongly discourage you from doing so!"
As Langdon's first and current only follower, only Hogg dared to say this, and the Minotaur butler had dared before, but after witnessing these things with his own eyes, the Minotaur butler was even quieter.
"Please, your Riverclaw Gnoll clan is just a bunch of novice village scum who are not even level 10, okay. Moreover, the boss of that group of goblins has the same strength as you in mid-level black iron, and you say that they are waste, so what about you......"
Generally speaking, an ordinary adult human, his basic five-dimensional attribute is 2, and when his main attribute, that is, the highest attribute, reaches 10 points, even if he has stepped into the black iron realm, he has reached the strength of low-level black iron.
When the main attribute reaches 15, it will enter the mid-level black iron, and when it reaches 20, it will enter the high-level black iron.
However, it is not so easy to advance from black iron to silver, which requires the main attribute to reach a full 40 points, that is, it is a full double that of high-level black iron, this process is of course very difficult, and in this process, when the main attribute reaches 35 points, it is qualified to be called the peak of black iron.
Therefore, from this point of view, Hogg, whose strength has reached 19 points, does still belong to the category of mid-level black iron, the same as the strongest goblin, and this is in line with her identity as a green talent.
Of course, the above words will only appear in Langdon's heart, he will not be stupid enough to say it, so when he opened his mouth, he said something like this, "There is no way, you should know the situation of my territory, even if it is placed in the underground world, it can be regarded as a barren land, in this kind of place, let alone a group of big goblins, even if it is a goblin, it is also a precious resource." ”
"Also. Seeing that Hogg seemed to want to say something, Langdon hurriedly took the first step to speak, facing such a cute scene of such a beast-eared cute girl speaking so seriously, Langdon was afraid that he would be soft-hearted and agreed to some unreasonable requests from the other party.
"You know, there's no real waste in this world, and the only reason these goblins are called waste is because they haven't met anyone who can make them shine, and as it happens, I happen to be that person. ”
"Moreover, if such a group of waste goblins can be cultivated into elite troops, wouldn't that also prove the power of my lord?"
"My lord, do you have a way to make them stronger?" Hogg stared at Langdon with his large, lovely eyes, with obvious disbelief written in his eyes.
"Of course. Langdon shrugged confidently, "This all-powerful lord system can only be considered all-powerful when I use it, so how can I not even solve such a simple problem?"
