Jones didn't know what the other slave traders' dealings were with the Goblin Kingdom, but Jones knew he was messing with them. Especially after he accidentally said something like "buy all the goblins", the situation was even worse.

It has been proven that brain fever should not occur at any time, and brain fever is prone to accidents.

However, in the face of messes and terrible kidnapping consumption, there are naturally terrible solutions.

"Do we have to build a road?"

"Yes. Jones replied with a blank face.

"Chickens when you arrive?"

"Yes. ”

"If you don't arrive, you won't have anything, and you have to continue to eat dirt?"

"Yes. ”

But that was not the case with the slave traders of the past. ”

"But that's what I am. Jones spread his hands and said, "Think about it, you can build a road in half a year, and it should be easy to do." After all, there are so many people. After the repair, each of you can get half a year of chickens. Otherwise, how could I bring you so many chickens? The chickens are actually ready for a long time. Think, two hundred chickens per goblin!"

Gu La drooled when she heard this: "But you just said that you don't have chickens." ”

"Did I say it? Forget it. I'm going to say it again, yes, and a lot!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"One a day?"

"Yes, one a day. ”

"You're not going to lie to us, are you?"

"No, how is that possible. You have to be good to deceive. You built a road, and that road is not mine, and I can't hide it, and I can't eat it like a chicken. That means I'm not doing any good, right? I'm going to pay for you. So I can't lie to you. ”

Gu La touched his chin and thought about it, and muttered to himself, "It seems to be like this." ”

"No, that's it!" Jones emphasized.

"Goo-goo-go

Dora carefully tugged at Jones' sleeve and asked in horror, "Lord Jones, but we don't have a chicken ......"

"Yes. ”

"So we're lying to them? They already look miserable...... Are we going to lie to them?"

"We are also miserable, and we can't leave after being bought and sold by force. Jones replied with a smirk: "I think we're even worse." ”

"Then if they really fix it......"

"We'll talk about that then. I already owe a lot of money anyway and don't mind owing a little more. ”

After a bit of noise, Gucci turned around and said to Jones, "Agreed! A chicken a day! Thank you! You're now the master of all the goblins!"

Almost at the same time, the goblins all cheered, and several of them were thrown into the sky, falling to their deaths with a "snap". However, the goblins don't seem to think it's a big deal. Just bury it when it's dead, and it's over.

Dora's whole expression was horrified, and Jones's face was numb.

There is no doubt about it, a crazy species. It's crazy and can't be deduced by common sense.

It's also understandable, though.

Goblins are said to be a new species created by demons for the needs of war. Isn't it very good that as a low-level class of troops for attrition, it has an extremely high fertility rate, fast growth, low IQ, and no concept of death?

They can't beat the cunning humans. If it weren't for the humans joining the battle, they probably wouldn't have been abandoned by the demons and become a species in the garbage heap.

In short, the matter was "finalized".

"Here's the map, that's it. I'm waiting for you here! You see I've figured out the route I've built for you!" Jones took his pen and drew a straight line on the map.

In other words, does anyone in this world build roads in straight lines?

Anyway, the goblins believed it, at least Gura.

"Yes, my master! We'll go now! We can't wait to eat two hundred chickens!"

The goblins screamed.

Jones decisively left all the money on him, about four hundred gold coins, as money to buy them, but also to further prove his seriousness. Then, while one of them was not paying attention, he ran away with Dora fluttering......

"Let the goblins build the road, and they will do it well for the sake of the chickens. As long as the road from the Goblin Kingdom to Serpent City is built...... Because the Goblin Kingdom is on the Plains, it is possible to access other places. In other words, we in Mega Snake City have also built a road to the outside world! Master Jones, you are such a genius! We only need to send a few dwarves to oversee the work!"

"No, I don't want to send anything!"

"Why?"

"Haven't you figured out the situation yet?" Jones, who turned into a bat, turned his head and widened his eyes and said, "How many goblins are there? 200,000? 200,000 goblinsAssuming they build roads to Giant Snake City in 200 days, I need to pay them 400 million chickens! I don't know if there are 400 million chickens on the Celtes continent!"

"Huh?" Dora was stunned.

"Don't you understand? I hope they will never be able to fix it! If we do, we will be bankrupt, and no matter how much money we have, they will eat it and go bankrupt!" Jones turned his head and flapped his wings and continued to fly north.

Dora hurriedly chased after her: "So we are completely lying to them?Lord Jones, I'm afraid this is not good." And it's not 400 million, it's 40 million. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's an unaffordable number anyway. ”

"But it's a deception after all. ”

"No, no, it's just that they can't build roads, so there's no chickens. I'm not lying to them! From today onwards, let's forget that there is a neighbor on the southern border. We pretend it's a sea. Oh no, it's not the sea, the ocean can still be used for transportation. There is a desert, a worthless desert. Whoever is happy to go, I don't want to go to this crazy place a second time anyway!"

Anyway, that's the end of the Goblin Kingdom journey. At least Jones thinks it's over.

Previously, he had always thought that the Goblin Kingdom might be a breakthrough. After all, there is always a lot of demand for a "kingdom", right? and goblins seem to be able to only make low-level things, and they can't do complex things. You may be able to make a lot of business and make a lot of money.

Right now?

Now he just wants to forget about this place.

......

As soon as it got dark the next day, Jones's custom-made armor arrived. A full three hundred sets of delicate armor. Sent by airship.

Because it was the first business, Adair invested heavily in the best possible material and workmanship. And it was sent by Adair himself.

"All the costs add up, a total of 18,000 gold coins. The profit is two thousand. One thousand of us. ”

"Okay. ”

After counting the goods, Jones asked Dora to take Adair's men to carry all the armor and weapons into the castle, and go to get the gold coins by the way, while he and Adel stood outside the castle and waited.

Standing still, Adair suddenly asked, "Jones, have you been in contact with Adolf during this time?"

"Adolf?" Jones hesitated, then replied, "I'm looking for him, too, but I can't find him." I don't know where he went. ”

"Oh, is it?" said Adair, looking meaningfully at Jones.

"Yes. Jones looked away, "If you have news of him, remember to tell me." I have something to look for him. ”

"Do you have any clues about him......? I ask this because you have a relationship with him. If he has anything to do, maybe he'll leave you a little bit of a message. For example, a letter. Adair gestured.

"He did leave a letter for me. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Adair became excited.

"There were bank notes of 300,000 gold coins in it. Jones pretended to be casual and said, "When I got the money, there were people following me and trying to rob it." I don't know how they knew I had money. Hilde's security doesn't seem to be good. ”

With that, it was Jones' turn to look meaningfully at Adair.

"Oh, is it?" Adair smiled awkwardly and said, "That may be an exception. As far as I know, Hilde's law and order is still very good. ”

"Those who want to rob the money still seem to know me and call me Master Jones. There aren't many people I know in Heard, and who call me Master Jones. Jones looked at Adair suspiciously.

"Then it's time to take a good look into it. After a moment of silence, Adair asked again with a twinkle in his eyes, "Is there anything else besides money?"

"And a letter. ”

"What about faith?"

"It's burned. ”

"Uh...... What is written in the letter?"

"He said he was in some trouble, but didn't say what it was. The rest, I don't know. Raising his head, Jones pretended to be casual and looked at the third floor of the castle. I just saw Dora walking by the window with Adair's men.

In this way, even if neither side is offended, right? at least neutral.

Before, Jones probably wouldn't have thought of his robber with Adair. But now, he's sure it's eight. Because Adair took the initiative to mention it, and also took the initiative to ask for the letter. Besides, he shouldn't have come in person for such a trivial matter today. Since he came, it means that he has other purposes.

I'm pretty much honest, but I don't tell him that Adolf will come to me.

The wind was blowing softly, and the grass and trees were swaying.

Two people, standing quietly outside the castle. They all looked away in unison.

Jones was silent, and so was Adair.

Jones's silence was normal, but Adair never had enough to say, and rarely was he as silent as he was today.

Finally, when Dora led the people back and forth, and moved all the three hundred sets of armor to the castle, and only needed to bring out the gold coins, Adair finally couldn't help it. He whispered, "Those who robbed you are my people." ”

"Is that your man?" Jones paused for a moment, turning his face sideways.

"Yes. Adair took a deep breath and said helplessly, "However, I didn't send them to rob you. To be precise, I just sent them to find something to do with Adolf. I'm investigating Adolf. His identity is very different from what he told us at the beginning. So far, at least half of what I've found out about him is fake. The other half may also be fake, but I don't have proof yet. ”

As he spoke, Adair looked at Jones cautiously.

Probably to cover up the fact that he was still hiding part of it, Jones didn't tell the truth, but just replied lightly: "Oh, I see." I thought Hilde was so bad. But that's okay, after all, I don't have anything to lose. ”

Adair sighed helplessly, and then said: "His target should be you, and he wants to contact the Lich King through you, and there are some ulterior motives. Of course, I guessed. Fake identities must have a purpose, especially if they are used and they spend a lot of money. There must be a powerful force behind him. First I invested in the refinery, and then I left you 300,000 gold coins. One after the other, it's already half a million. No one wants to spend half a million gold coins aimlessly. ”

Jones glanced sideways at Adair and whispered, "If he looks for me, I'll pay attention." Thank you. ”

"No, it's not just attention. Adair hurriedly said, "I hope you can tell me if he looks for you." I also got into some trouble because of his relationship, so I was so anxious to find him. I had to find him. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"A few Bloodlines are missing. It's not mine, and it's a bit of a trick. Kind of Hilde's ruffian. Anyway, I have to settle this matter, otherwise there will be problems. It will affect my position in the Sambo family. You know what I mean?" said Adair, looking at Jones with wide eyes.

After a little hesitation, Jones nodded: "If he finds me, or if I find him, I will tell you." ”

"Okay, thank you. My Brother Jones!" said Adair, who opened his arms and hugged Jones tightly, "Please!"

After a while, Adair departed with his men.

No sooner had the men of Adel left than Brutus and Simon arrived. Jones even suspected that they had been there all along, just waiting to receive the goods. And not what "just arrived".

Looking at the large expanse of armor and weapons, the two ten-thousand-year-old lichs were as excited as if two boys had seen their favorite toy. Hugging each other is screaming and cheering, which is very exaggerated.

"With these, next time our pomp and circumstance will be more spectacular than Lucy!"

"That's right!"

"But we need more! Let's go to war with the dragons, let's take the lead! The dragons have money! With money, we can have more armor!"

"It's decided!"

This is probably the least picky customer in history. Well, anyway, they don't wear these armors themselves, as long as they look good and are handsome enough.

After a few more words with Hydra, which amused Hydra for a while, Brutus and Simon left. By the way, he used space magic to remove all the armor and weapons.

Jones breathed a sigh of relief.

This is Jones's first income. But he was not happy at all. Because of those words of Adair. It's a mess in my head.

"Adolf's identity is all fake, and his purpose is to get close to me?"

Jones had thought about this for a long time in order to get closer to himself, but Jones didn't expect Adolf's identity to be fake.

If you think about it this way, your father's words are right. The Cappadocia family, really has perished......

Probably because of the weakness of his heart, Jones actually forgot to ask in detail just now. It stands to reason that Adair said that there was evidence to prove it, and he should at least ask "what evidence". However, he didn't ask anything.

Thinking about it at the moment, it's another mess.

Because of his work with the dwarves, Jones's routine gradually changed. It becomes a daytime work and a night break. After a busy day, he dragged his tired body back to his door.

"Will my performance just now make Adair think that I don't believe him? Why don't you go to Adair tomorrow and ask for details?"

Thinking about it, Jones reached out and pushed open his door.

The moment the door opened, Jones' eyes widened.

Blood-colored moonlight shone obliquely through the window, turning the room red.

Adolf sat in a chair in his room and watched him silently. Smiling, his face pale.
