Chapter 408: Goblin Treasure
In this palace, located at the highest point of Aung Rigo, everything is golden.
It's not all gold, but at least the surface is real gold.
The palace is so luxurious that it is very different from the rest of the city of Henrigo, and it is like two worlds outside the city.
At the end of the golden palace, a small goblin sits on a throne.
Wearing a huge crown on his head, a golden scepter, and glittering golden armor, he sat upright, staring at the two humans who were getting closer and closer at the palace gate.
Judging from the size alone, no one would associate this weak-looking goblin with the Goblin King, who is rumored to be a high-ranking martial artist? It doesn't look like even a martial artist.
It's a mistake to judge people by their appearance, but despite this, Rog has a strong instinct at the first sight of the Goblin King - he is not the real Goblin King.
Golden Crown, Golden Scepter, Golden Armor...... Everything here is just to highlight the status of the Goblin King. But Glinlac was a clearly unusual king who had reigned for more than thirty years, and his rule over the Goblin Kingdom must have been deep-rooted, and he didn't need this superficial gold to show his status.
This palace was not built for himself, but for others to see.
Gold represents status and wealth, and can express the greed of goblins to the fullest, and this golden palace is to implant in the hearts of those who see it, the idea that the Goblin King is an extremely greedy and narcissistic person.
"The human merchant doesn't have to bow down to the Goblin King." - Article 19 of the Rules for the Trade of Goblin Realms.
Thanks to this rule, Rog avoided bowing down to the goblin he hated.
Whether the Goblin King is real or not, he sits on the throne, at least for now.
The two came to the Goblin King, stroked his chest and bowed, and Cybanes said, "Great Goblin King, I am Sarbanes, the president of the Octagon Chamber of Commerce, and it is my honor to meet you!" ”
"Haha! It turned out to be a merchant from the Land of Chaos, get up quickly. The Goblin King's scepter flicked, as if to pardon their sins, and said fluently in human language, "What good have you brought me?" ”
"Returning to Your Excellency the King, they are all the goods on your list, as well as some minerals and spirit stones, thanks to you, the quality of the goods collected on this trip is not bad, I hope you can be satisfied."
"Oh? Take a look. ”
A guard stepped forward, Cybanes-Oxley handed over the spatial ring, and the guard presented it to the Goblin King.
The Goblin King looked at them one by one with great interest, and when he saw the spatial ring containing the spirit stone, his face was visibly happy.
"Yes, yes, the Octagon Chamber of Commerce is indeed the most reliable trading partner of the Goblin Kingdom!" The Goblin King was satisfied.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the compliment! I have some food from the human world here, I hope you enjoy it. ”
"Food? Hurry up! The Goblin King said eagerly.
The guard presented the ring, and the Goblin King looked at it urgently, slightly stunned, and then directly took out the air-dried meat strips and gnawed on them.
"Hmm...... It's delicious! Hahaha! ”
It can be seen that the recipe provided by Rogge, the air-dried meat made by the chef of the Bauhinia family, is deeply loved by the Goblin King, and Sarbanes's gift this time is considered to be on the idea.
Looking at the goblin eating meat and enjoying the wine, Cybanese took the opportunity to say: "Your Excellency, the Orc Alliance is in the midst of war, and the caravan is difficult, you see ......"
"Haha, that's easy to say!" The Goblin King waved his "big hand", "I will buy this batch of goods from the Octagon Chamber of Commerce at twice the price!" ”
Rogge was slightly shocked in his heart, twice the price, and he said he would give it? Should you say that the goblins have a lot of money, or are they particularly easy to deceive?
Could this be the reason why the chambers of commerce in the Lands of Chaos are willing to travel thousands of miles to trade in the Goblin Realm? Quite possibly! But...... It shouldn't be the only one.
Sure enough, Sarbanes-Oxley was only slightly excited about the double gains, and he had a bigger goal: "Thank you, Your Excellency!" But...... Your Excellency the King, you also know that our Octagon Chamber of Commerce is still a lot worse than the big chambers of commerce in the Chaos Land, and it is a pity that we have been a merchant for so many years, and we have run to the Goblin Territory five or six times, and we have not even been able to see the shadow of the 'Goblin Treasure'. ”
"Oh? Do you want the jewels of our country? "The Goblin King pauses eating.
"Don't dare." Sarbanes-Oxley bowed again, "Just to pay a respect." ”
"Then you don't have enough of these things."
"This ......," said Sarbanes, gritting his teeth, "Alas, that's it, I spent a lot of money to get a few very interesting magic cores, and I will give them to Your Excellency the King today, and I hope you will open my eyes!" ”
"Is our country's treasure so attractive? Can President Sarbanes, you cut your love? ”
"Your Excellency, I am a businessman, and the greatest characteristic of a businessman is curiosity. Goblin treasure, I haven't seen you for a day, and I can't sleep! ”
"Hahaha! In that case, let me see if the magic core you bought is worth enough! ”
The guard presented the ring for the third time, and the Goblin King took it, his consciousness just reaching into the ring, and a smile froze on his face.
Rogge, disguised as Sarbanes' deputy, takes in the Goblin King's reaction. The magic core was given to Cybanes, and it was an anomalous magic core of an infected beast of the Beastmaster level, and to the Goblin King was a test or two.
Now it seems that the Goblin King is aware of the anomalous core, which means that the Goblin King should not be a tool to be driven by orcs and aliens, and it is more likely that he has a collaborator relationship with aliens.
Cybanes said: "Your Excellency, this is the Beast Core we bought from the Dwarves of Lonely Peak, the largest one is the Beast King level, and it is intact, which is very rare. ”
"What's more, this magic core is not ordinary, it is said that it was taken out after the 'evolved' demonic beasts were killed."
"I want the core, you ...... Come with me. ”
The Goblin King stepped down the steps from the high throne and led the two to the side hall.
The side hall is also golden, and it seems to be a conference room with complete tables and chairs.
The Goblin King came to the inner wall, reached out and pressed on the gold brick in the center, only to hear the sound of a "click" mechanism, and a secret door appeared on the wall.
The Goblin King walked behind the main seat, broke the armrest of his seat, and the secret door opened.
"Two, please come in." After the Goblin King finished speaking to the two, he entered the secret door first.
Only a faint light came from the secret door, which was like an entrance to hell compared to the golden palace.
Sarbanes-Oxley swallowed and looked at Rogge quietly.
He was afraid, afraid that he would have his life to enter the secret door and not to come out.
The Goblin King did give Rog the feeling that he was going to kill them in front of the two of them, but it seemed like a bit of a preach.
If you want to do it, as soon as the gate of the palace was closed just now, there were so many heavily armed guards around, wouldn't it be better than the opportunity in the secret door?
Unless...... What is the killer trick in the secret door.
If it comes, it will be safe, and until now, if you don't enter, you have to enter.
Still, Rog felt that he should be safe, and he had asked Cybanes before that the human caravan had not yet recorded deaths in the Goblin Territory. It can be seen that the guarantee of the big names of the adventure group such as Julius is a two-way street, and the goblins cannot kill the people in the caravan at will.
Rogge nodded to Sarbanes, and the two slowly entered the dark room.
As soon as the two entered the dark room, the door slammed down, and Cybanes-Oxley trembled with fright, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The Goblin King laughed, "What is President Sarbanes-Oxley so nervous about?" ”
"Hehe, I am indeed a little nervous to meet His Excellency the King alone."
"Didn't I ask your guards to come along? He's calmer than you, and he's a good guard. The Goblin King turned his gaze to the depths of the Darkroom, "Of course, my guards are good, too. ”
Rogge's eyes froze, there was actually a goblin in the depths of the dark room, and he didn't even notice it in the first place!
The goblin seemed to melt into the darkness, its figure blurred, and the two of them were locked in by him.
Rog sensed a hint of danger, but not with murderous intent, but more with scrutiny, from the goblin assassin in the shadows.
The two of them were at a stalemate with the Goblin King, and the Goblin in the depths of the dark chamber for a moment, and the Goblin King broke the deadlock, "Cybanes, don't you want to see the treasures of our country?" That's it. ”
The Goblin King pointed to the stone wall behind him, and the faint glow in the room was emitted by a crystal-like item in a small wooden chest in the center of the stone wall.
"This ......"
Goblin Treasures, placed in somewhat worn wooden chests, exude a sense of disobedience.
Sabeston paused and sorted out his words, "Your Excellency, could you please tell us about the treasures of your country?" ”
"Haha, of course you can." The Goblin King directly picked up the crystal in the wooden box, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a special spirit stone." ”
"This thing is called the Enchantment Spirit Stone, which can not only explore the location of the enchantment, but also serve as the best core to provide energy for the Enchantment Great Array." The Goblin King's gaze wandered, "It's perfect for a place like the Chaos Lands where there are many enchantments and wars, right?" ”
"No wonder ......," Cybanes-Benz muttered, "No wonder the major chambers of commerce are rushing to trade with the Goblin Territory, just to exchange this enchantment spirit stone." ”
"That's right, many chambers of commerce don't want money, just enchantment spirit stones. But as you can see, this thing is not very producible, and now it's just a piece. It stands to reason that the magic core you gave me can be exchanged for such an enchantment spirit stone, but unfortunately I still have this piece of use, so I can only wronged you. The Goblin King shook his head.
"Hehe, it's enough to see such a treasure, don't have the luxury of it, don't be wronged. That...... Can you take us away? It's dark here, but it's still more comfortable outside. ”
"Haha, it's nature." The Goblin King put away the enchantment spirit stone, "I can't imagine that President Sarbanes, who has been running for many years, is still afraid of the dark." Guard, open the door. ”
The figure of the goblin assassin in the depths of the dark room moved slightly, and he didn't know what mechanism he touched, and the door of the dark room opened.
"Two, the reward for the goods is ready, so please do it. I'm going to have a few more words with my guards, and I'm not going to send them. The Goblin King made a gesture of please.
The two of them saluted and left, and after receiving the payment, they traveled unhindered all the way, taking the elevator to the bottom of the boulder pillar.
As soon as he came, Sarbanes-Oxley collapsed and leaned on Rogge, who hurriedly supported him and went straight to the accommodation arranged by the Adventurers' Association.
"Rogge, I've been with you for a while." Sarbanes-Oxley said with some trepidation.
"It's not that exaggerated, the Goblin King didn't want to kill us."
"Are you so sure? What rank is that Goblin Assassin? Just looking at him, I couldn't help but feel fear, even more terrifying than Nana-sama! ”
“…… Nana is cute, and if she knew you were comparing her to a goblin, she would definitely beat you up. ”
"Rogge, we were born and died together, you can't betray me." /
"She's my sister, you're a hostage."
Sarbanes: "......"
