Chapter 20: The History of Goblins

Arthur didn't want to hire her, because a beautiful woman meant trouble anywhere, but it was clear that Miss Monica was determined to get the job, and took out a special award letter signed by Archmage Mel from the Law Academy.

The maintenance of the magic academy requires a lot of money, although the mage is rich, but it is only a high-level mage, and the materials used by the low-level mage to experiment every day are a huge expense, let alone an alchemy academy like this. Therefore, the tuition fee of the Mage College is also terrifyingly high.

This meant that only the children of the nobility and the great merchants went up, but the quality of these people was inevitably uneven. But as a prestigious mage academy rather than a garbage production center, it is imperative to recruit gifted civilian cadets. If there is a particularly good one, there will be a special award book like this one, and all fees will be waived. In general, you can also borrow the tuition fee from the academy for a while, and then return the fee after becoming a mage.

In fact, this is also the core idea of the Academy of Magic, using the money of rich people to train more excellent mages. As a result, many students like Monica have the opportunity to learn magic, but they are certainly not financially well-off. That's why she needs this job so desperately.

Arthur had no choice but to agree, after all, there is a beautiful woman who can look at it every day, and he is not afraid of any trouble in his teacher's territory.

So Arthur lived a very nourishing life of learning and teaching, but Gru was obviously much smarter than Arthur imagined, Gru was not illiterate, after all, he was also a goblin who had worked in the library for a long time, but because he didn't have the time to study and other people's systematic teaching, he always made some mistakes. Under Arthur's teaching, it can be said that his original knowledge is just connected, so it only took about less than two days to roughly understand the writing of the lingua franca, and the rest is to help Arthur translate those goblin historical books.

In the reading area of the library, rows of long circular tables surround the entire library, and on a table in a corner, Arthur the stone man listens carefully to the narration of the goblin Gru:

"The gods and demons are at war in the main material realm, and various races stand in different camps to participate in it, and countless heroes have been produced, the most special of which is a group of heroes, they include all races and professions, they used to be the most fierce warriors of the gods, and even fought into the abyss, but then their positions began to diverge and become ambiguous, but there is no evidence that they have betrayed the gods, some of their names have disappeared from history, some have been changed by others or themselves, so they are also hidden along with their deeds, only the weapons and items they used have been handed down, and they also prove their existenceใ€‚

These weapons and items can be proven to belong to them: Sword in the Stone, Crystal Warframe, Lightning Foot, Shadow Dance Robes, Glory Spire, King's War, True Eye, Destiny Compass, War Lord, etc., and these weapons and items are all at the legendary level, and there are also some artifacts in legend, after all, they used to fight for the gods, but that's just legend. โ€

Arthur felt that the other parts of the Quincy suit he was looking for were among these things, and even he himself was amazed: what kind of power would a suit composed of a legendary weapon be? As long as he found any of them, his strength would definitely have a breakthrough increase, in this world, strength may not be everything, but it must be the foundation of everything, if he is now level fifteen, he will immediately go to the dungeon to find trouble with that snake, and then fork and fork first, and stay here, like a stone.

What makes Arthur even more strange is where have these heroes gone? Through the memories of Quincy preserved by the soul mask, Arthur knows that the strength of this group of people is probably not lower than that of level 20 demigods, and those who reach that level are close to immortality, how can they disappear naturally? Could it be that they have been hacked by gods and demons? I am afraid that it is very possible.

But now it's not Arthur's turn to worry about the affairs of gods and demons, and now he has probably set a few goals, and many of these legendary weapons marked in the book can be found out in specific locations.

The Sword in the Stone is stuck on Mount Olympus, in the Hall of Order at the headquarters of the Sword of Oath, on the altar of the God of Justice and Justice, where nearly three digits of Righteous Knights have been stationed for many years, and it is conservatively estimated that there are at least two Sanctuary. Not to mention low-level guards. It would take at least 300,000 elite troops to capture it. The only thing that can make people happy is that the sword is stuck in the altar, and no one can pull it up.

In the treasury of the German Empire, the first military power of mankind, the crystal armor once had two human kingdoms and many dozen small principalities attacked him once, and the army was still defeated when it approached the capital.

The Lord of War is under the Bone Throne of the Lich King Neozu in the Canyon of the Dead, not to mention the endless variety of skeleton soldiers and death knights, but as far as the Lich King himself is concerned, the hell knows how many levels he has.

As for the rest, it was either the dragon's lair or the sea clan's palace, none of which Arthur could touch right now. There were things that no one guarded, like the Shadow Dance Robes and the Lightning Feet, but no one knew where they were! Arthur certainly didn't know either.

Arthur couldn't help but sigh: "The future is incomparably bright, and the road is incomparably tortuous!" In fact, it is no longer a problem of tortuous roads, but there is no road at all.

But Arthur didn't lose confidence, he couldn't grab it, he couldn't change it, he couldn't steal it, anyway, there was always a way, the key was to try, it was just human. After Arthur came to this world, his biggest purpose was to try all kinds of things, and it was best if he succeeded, even if he failed, it didn't matter. There is nothing to be satisfied with living for hundreds of years.

Not to mention Arthur's lazy thoughts, Monica, who was sitting behind the administrator's long table, was looking at it strangely, and the strong confidence that the person burst out just now made her look sideways, but in an instant, it became scattered again, making her feel that she was hallucinating.

And honestly looking at the dry history recorded by the goblin will also Arthur be tired, remember the instructions of Mr. Mel, I want to see the knowledge of alchemy, but due to the difference in professions, those precision alchemy magic arrays really give Arthur a headache, but what makes Arthur feel kind is the alchemy of the goblins, not the transformation of the nature of magic but the use of power machinery, there was a time in history when the best alchemy works were invented by goblins.

After the greatest alchemist Fa Xiu fell from the sky while experimenting with an airship and lost his life. His many apprentices were scattered. But for a magician, the use of magic has become their instinct, so their alchemy eventually slowly deviated from the path of law cultivation, only inheriting his requirements for practicality, and gradually evolved into the current magic alchemy.

However, one of Fa Xiu's goblin servants inherited and developed his alchemy ideas perfectly, probably because his magic power was equally low. The alchemy of goblins, which no longer relies on magic, is dedicated to the nature of matter itself.

The most famous goblin airship is only powered by magic stones, and relies more on turbine technology and hot air technology. In this way, compared with the magic airship, the biggest advantage is that it is cheap and mass-produced, as long as the most ordinary workers make accessories and then combine them, they can be completed, without the need for a great magician to lead a few apprentices to engrave the magic array for countless days and nights. When the Goblin airships filled the sky and began to play a major war value, several magic airships were overshadowed.

And although Arthur did not learn physical machinery in his previous life, he looked at the familiar composition drawings and felt more intimate than looking at the magic array, and in the subsequent study, Arthur sighed even more that the goblins were a great nation, and under so many whimsical ideas, the things made were also very practical. But unfortunately, if you have great power but don't have much power yourself, it's like a child with a gun, and it will eventually be in decline.

When the orc empire collapsed, the remnants of the orcs took refuge in their hometown in the north, used their muscles to survive the cold winter, and gradually recovered in one battle after another, becoming a major hidden danger for the northern human empire. And although the goblins have a special case of Sherlock, it is still difficult to save the declining goblin nation after all.

However, Arthur found that he really had no talent for alchemy, but Gru next to him watched it with relish, he usually didn't have time to look at these things, and the super large library with a total of tens of thousands of square meters on the upper and lower floors was only cleaned by a dozen goblins, even with their hardships and hard work, it would take all the time.

The word lazy does not exist for goblins. Just as the word cowardice does not exist for orcs.

Arthur felt bored and didn't want to bother him, so he found a few novels to relax, but he found that the novels in this world were really boring, and YY was also very low-level, such as a prince and princess. The most YY is an autobiographical novel written by Sherlock himself, called "Mein Kampf", which is full of Shylock's review of his own success story, writing about how a despised goblin became one of the rulers of the human kingdom through his own efforts.

The content is very inspirational, but Arthur won't believe a word. A goblin without any power can ascend to the throne of the councillor through his own efforts? If it is on Earth, there is even a 1 in 10 million chance, in this world, the probability is completely zero. There must be a shady existence in this.

However, Arthur admires this Sherlock, although he probably uses the power of others, but his business talent is beyond doubt. For example, his book Mein Kampf is a best-selling novel that has been translated into many languages. He also made a lot of money by writing a series of books on how to succeed and the laws of business, but Arthur calculated that if he had written these books, he might not even have time to go to the bathroom.

Arthur suddenly had the idea of writing a novel on his own, and it will definitely cost a lot of money to travel around in the future, although Arthur has money, but there is also a day when he sits on the mountain, it is impossible to just rob the bandits, he needs a stable income, and it seems that writing books has an advantage.

If you want to be deep and thoughtful, you can read a complete collection of foreign masterpieces, what Shakespeare, Hugo. If you want to be simple and popular, you can write a web novel, what is the starting point, Phantom Sword. Behind him is the cultural accumulation of thousands of years in the whole world, and if you don't believe it, you can't be popular.

Well, that's it.

Exegesis:

Sets can be made by nature or acquired. But there has to be someone strong enough to use it, and these people will become their heroes, so many sets are named after heroes. With perennial use, the power of the hero will be carried out, and something called the Heroic Soul will be generated, and once you get a complete set, there will be a strange effect of the Heroic Soul Revival, which will produce a very powerful power.
