Chapter 401: Back to the City
The way back to the city, although the distance was the same as when leaving, was not smooth. Linde's stomach was often stuck in the narrow part of the tunnel, and the car was always in small shapes, which Lukka suspected had something to do with the few small parts that hadn't been put back in place.
Among the few people in the car, only McCorbay was quite familiar with the machinery, and he knocked and tinkered with it, and Ollie got out of the car and pushed a few steps, and even let them drive the car back to Deep Mine City in a relatively complete way.
"You're back so soon, it's been less than three days!" Gavin's voice came from the gate of the Mining Association's headquarters, and he looked up and was taken aback, "How did my car become like this?!"
"It's lucky to be able to drive back, and for a while we were all going to walk back. Lukka got out of the car and pointed to the exposed engine at the front of the car, "The hood seems to have been thrown about ten kilometers away, and you should be able to get it back if you send someone to look for it." ”
"You didn't throw away the trailer, those supplies ......" Gavin jumped backwards and hid behind his broken stone statue, his head shivering, "What is this?"
Linde stretched and got up from the trailer, and when he was still four or five kilometers from the city, he had already woken up and wanted to sit up, but even if he took the form of a goblin, his height should not be underestimated, and his forehead was slammed on the top of the low mine, and a large bag was swollen.
Restricted by his size, Linde continued to lie down and completed the last leg of the journey.
"President, this is my good friend, Linde Gladstone. Phil jumped out of the car and introduced Gavin.
"He, he, he, why is he so big?!" Gavin still didn't dare to come out.
Among Luca's crew, if you don't count Linde, the tallest is Daniel, and he also deliberately measured the ghost once when he was on Tata Island, no more, no less, exactly two meters. But Daniel stood next to Linde, and the top of his head was not yet the height of a half-giant's shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, President, this is already a lot of shrinkage," Phil said to Linde, who had turned into a goblin but still had two goblin heights, "If he hadn't become a goblin, his original height would have been two meters seven." ”
"Oh, okay. He's not going to squash me, is he?" said Gavin, rubbing out from behind the statue.
"No, and he won't stay here for long. In a few days, when your excavator is ready to use, we'll be back on the surface. Phil said.
"What, Master, you're leaving?" asked Gavin hurriedly.
Phil and Gavin explained in a low voice, but Ollie tugged at Luka's sleeve and asked, "I've always wanted to ask, why don't you add a shrinking spell to Linde?"
Lukka sighed: "Since Linde put on that resuscitation ring, more than half of my spells have no effect on him, and what can be used has been discounted a lot, such as the current disguise technique, I can't do anything about height." ”
"Hopefully he'll fit into that manned excavator. Ollie looked at it and felt a little hanging.
Seeing that Phil and Gavin had explained the same, Luca walked over and asked, "Is there any news from that ghost companion of mine, how is your commando?"
Gavin shook his head: "It's the third day, and there has been no news. ”
"In that case," Lukka said, reaching out and snoozing off the back of the saddle, "you're going to work hard and see how it goes?"
"You toss me again!" shut up and bleary-eyed, and rushed up with both paws, not even bothering to move the tips of his wings.
"That teleportation can't be done by anyone else, so you're not alive. Luca said.
"I'm so happy!" retorted as he shutted up, "Linde can go over, with the ring, he can't die." Moreover, after you drained the power of change, that chest was not so powerful. ”
"Do you have a way to put him in?" Lukka asked.
Shut up for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Okay, I'll run for you, you stay here and don't run around." ”
With that, it flapped its wings and flew straight into the open window of the study on the second floor.
A few seconds later, its voice came from above: "Hurry up and come here, I can't open the lid of the box!"
Lukka smiled and walked through the door up the stairs, opening the portal to shut up and send him away.
Now, they could only settle down again in Deep Mine City and wait for news on the ground.
It's just that Linde's placement gave Gavin a headache, he walked into the study and found Phil to discuss: "We're afraid there is no room here that he can enter, can we set up a tent for him in the square near here?"
"Yes, I'll stay in the city for the next few days. Phil nodded.
He was working with Lukka and Ollie to sort out the things he had brought back from the mines, and he was the one who had gained the most from this adventure, including several large rolls of spider silk from the spider queen, a few crushed egg shells from Lind's clothes, a small piece of the highest quality emerald ore, and a piece of backpack fabric soaked in venom.
Phil carefully divided the materials into different containers, especially the cloth with the venom, and even with gloves on, he didn't dare to gasp until he squeezed all the liquid into the glass bottle.
"Where are these spiders?" asked Gavin.
Phil was taken aback: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"It's not the master, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just wanted to discuss something with you, that's it, um," Gavin said in a slurch, "Can you not go?"
"This really doesn't work. Phil said, "I can leave you some potions, though." Now that the spider's nest has been cleared, the threat of the Stoneshell Spider has been lifted, and you shouldn't have consumed as much potion as before. ”
As he spoke, he fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a small notebook, which was not quite the same as the brown leather-covered notebook he was used to, and was much thinner overall.
"In this book, I've written down all the common recipes you might use, and you can find a few goblins and make them as they are. ”
Gavin reached for it, but Luca reached out from the side and grabbed the booklet.
"There is one condition, though. Luca said.
"What conditions?" asked Gavin.
Luca smiled: "The condition is: make peace with those gnomes above." Even if you live underground, you can't stay like this. Stop attacking those guys on the ground, and in exchange for letting them share the use of the port with you. That way, you can do business with the other islands as well. ”
"Make peace with those gnomes?" said Gavin, shaking his head.
