Chapter 372: The Necessary Qualities of a Ruler

"You're going to live in the Guild's headquarters, isn't that my house?" Gavin paused for a moment before he realized what Luca meant.

"What, do you have an opinion?" said Lukka as he walked over to the crystal nucleus-powered chariot, gestured at height, and then picked up his staff again, transforming himself and Ollie back into goblin form.

Gavin watched the two of them occupy the back seat of the chariot, obviously waiting for himself, the president of the mining association, to be the driver, the whole goblin became angry, but he still didn't dare to refute directly, but said tentatively: "The headquarters of the association is not good at all, the environment is very noisy, the house is in disrepair, the roof is leaking, the walls are seeping, and you can step on several big holes in the floor if you are not careful, I think, you might as well change places." ”

Lukka shook his head: "No need to change, I'm not familiar with other places." ”

Gavin's brother couldn't look past it, so he came over and said, "Then you live in the headquarters of the association, you should have to pay for accommodation and food, right?"

Gavin's eyes lit up: "Yes, and we don't take those silver coins on the ground, only Pease." But if you can't afford it, there are a few hotels in the neighborhood that offer rooms and food for free. ”

"How much are you going to charge us?" asked Luca, turning his head.

"A thousand...... No, five, uh, three hundred...... No, one hundred pas per person for a month, food and lodging are all-inclusive. Under Luka's gaze, Gavin's price dropped again and again.

"Oh, that's it, that's it. Lukka took out a money bag from his pocket and threw it over, "More than two months, no need to look for it." ”

"Eh, where did you get the money?" Gavin subconsciously reached out to catch the wallet, and after a closer look, he realized that this was obviously his wallet, the one that was forcibly taken by these two guys before the stone shell spider appeared.

"How can you pay me with my money?" he grumbled quietly.

Luca's ears were still quite good, and he immediately replied, "If you give it to me, it will be mine." That's how we pirates have always judged the ownership of things. ”

In fact, except for the time when he robbed Hei Fan at the beginning, he really didn't be so unreasonable. It's just that these goblins tie themselves and Ollie underground with paralyzing gas, and they are unreasonable first, and Luka will always fight back even if he has a good temper. Besides, the matter of scaring Gavin is quite interesting in itself.

Seeing that the other party was still grinding, Luca opened the car door and urged: "Hurry up and drive, I'm quite tired today, I want to go and rest quickly." ”

Gavin was a little embarrassed and said, "Can you wait a little longer and let me check on the damage in this area?"

"Okay, hurry up. Luca said.

"Got it. Gavin muttered, "If it weren't for the fact that you had dealt with those two bugs, I wouldn't have given you a drive! ”

"Isn't there a lot of losses?" Ollie reminded, "I think your mine guards have suffered quite a lot of losses today. ”

She pointed to the collapsed buildings on both sides, although she didn't witness the situation here, but in the first place where the stone shell spider invaded, the second team responsible for evacuation in that area, from the team leader to the high-level team members, a total of four or five people were buried under the stones, and they were trampled back and forth several times by the stone shell spider, and it was probably difficult to find the whole body.

"You mean, there will be goblins buried underneath this?" Gavin's voice was not frustrated at all, "Don't worry, our goblins in Deep Mining City won't die so easily!"

He nodded to the detachment leader beside him, who immediately took a whistle out of his pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it vigorously.

The whistle was extremely penetrating, and after a while, the mine guards in the surrounding neighborhoods heard the sound and blew the same whistle one after another.

"The whistle means: the state of emergency has been lifted, and now is the time for rescue. Gavin's brother leaned against the car and explained to Luca and Ollie.

With the whistle, there was a sudden movement in the lifeless ruins on both sides of the street.

At first it was just a few rhythmic beeps, and after a brief probing, the sound of loud music came from under the rocks, and there was more than one place to make the sound, and the ore guards on standby immediately dispersed, picked up their tools, and began to dig in those places.

Soon, the first survivor was dug up. He was encased in a hemispherical metal shell, as if he had been caught on the ground by an iron pot. The rescue team knocked in the middle of the pot, and the music immediately stopped, and the metal shell made a few "clicks", which split radially from the center, forming many arc-shaped metal plates, which slowly converged and folded towards the top.

After a few minutes, the pot had turned into a helmet, exactly like the one worn on each of the guards' heads. And the goblin under the helmet was really not injured at all, so the medical staff of the mine protection team checked it a little and immediately joined the search and rescue ranks.

"This thing is interesting!" Lukka reached out and took off the helmet on the chatterbox's head and placed it on his knee to study.

"Defensive helmets, while safe, have two drawbacks. One is too heavy, and my neck is about to break when I wear it like this every day. Another disadvantage is that when it disassembles and expands into a protective shield, it is easy to get stuck in the ear, you see I have a scar behind the ear, which was made by this thing......"

The advantage of having a chatter next to you is that you don't have to ask what you want to know, and he will tell it all in an endless stream. Of course, it would be better if he could know when to shut up.

Not far away, Gavin assigned the surviving team of mine-guards and checked the damage to the surrounding buildings, trembling in a large circle as he passed by the ripe stone shell motherworm.

To say that each island in the sea world has its own characteristics, and their rulers are also very different temperaments, but a timid ruler like Gavin, Luca is really simple for the first time.

He was under the impression that courage and boldness should be the necessary qualities of a good ruler.

Ollie thought of him as well, and she patted the chatter on the shoulder and asked, "I say, how did Gavin become president?

"Neither," replied the chatterbox, "the president is the one we all elected, and he is the most suitable person to lead our Deep Mining City!

"Tell me, what is he capable of?" Lukka wondered, had he mistaken the timid goblin?

"President Gavin is distinguished by the fact that he is the most timid of all our goblins!" said the chatter.
