Chapter 663 163. The Treasure of the Goblin Tribe (2)

Kalantso and I stood in front of this natural cave with a large exit. This cave had been searched by orc warriors before, but nothing was found. I heard Jijilu say that the treasure of the Danma tribe is hidden in this cave. Immediately, an orc warrior walked in holding a torch. There were a lot of weeds, tree roots, broken copper and iron, and tattered linen in this cave.

The orc warrior carefully searched the cave with his spear, but found nothing of value.

Seeing that it was full of rags that goblins use daily, Kalancuo raised her eyebrows again, holding a rope in her hand, and Jijiru, the leader of the Pandawang goblins, squatted obediently at her feet, looking at Looking at the items in the cave, he showed a look of despair.

Jijiru rushed in rolling and crawling, clutching the roots and bark with both hands, trembling all over, the teeth in its mouth collided together, making a 'da da da' sound, obviously frightened.

"I've seen it, I've seen it!" It repeated in its mouth, rummaging in the cave unwillingly.

Another companion beside Maggie, the orc warrior, said with a smile: "The treasures of the goblins are the roots, bark, and rags! Look at these goblins, they are so poor that they can't even wear clothes!" "

Maggie's words drew low laughter from the orc warriors.

Some orc warriors dug up some magical red copper mines in other small goblin lairs, but the quality of these copper mines was not too high, and some orc warriors who were lucky found a piece of malachite, But they couldn't find anything more valuable than the set of armor on the goblin king of the Danma tribe.

At this time, I found two burly goblin warriors lying on the left and right sides of the cave. They were both wearing dirty leather armor. It looked like the two goblin warriors were suffocated to death, but even before they died, they did not leave the cave for half a step, as if they were guarding something.

Speaking of which, except for nearly a thousand goblins in the square and the goblin king of their tribe who were burnt to ashes by corpse fire oil, most of the other goblins were burned because of the fire in the cave. They were suffocated to death in the state, but these suffocated goblins would often pinch their throats with one hand before they died, some would stick their distorted faces to the rocky ground, some would struggle to crawl out of the cave, and some would They had already ran a long way to the exit of the ice wall and died on the way, but few goblin warriors died peacefully at the entrance of the cave without any resistance or struggle.

Unless this cave is very important!
The orc warrior who was searching for treasure in the cave with a torch originally planned to come out, but when he saw me walking in, he stood beside me holding a torch. There was still a faint smell of smoke in the cave, perhaps because the ventilation was poor. Poor, the air inside is very cloudy and stuffy.

I injected a trace of wind magic element into the moonstone drum totem, and then a circle of wind appeared under my feet, a small ball of wind element kept spinning around my body, making me walk lightly and quickly at the same time. The air in the cave was stirred up, and it was precisely such a breeze that made the cave no longer stuffy.

Draw a magic pattern in front of me, and countless water elements gather in front of me to form a huge water ball with a diameter of two meters. The transparent and extremely pure water ball reflects the faces of everyone in the cave. Injected into the water polo, and then removed the magic restraint on the water polo, the whole huge water polo crashed to the ground, instantly turning the cave into a pond.

I stood in the ankle-deep water with the orc warrior holding the torch, while Jijiru, the goblin, sat in the water with a terrified expression, as miserable as it could be.

I stood quietly in the water and felt the flow of the water, but found that the water did not show any signs of leakage. It seemed that there was no entrance to the secret room on the ground of the cave.

I shook my head slightly, withdrew my magical perception, and sighed secretly. I felt that I might have thought too much. Just as I was about to step out of the cave, I suddenly felt someone staring at me in the cave. Obviously, those eyes were not real. The goblin Jijiru and the orc warrior holding the torch, but apart from the three of us, there was no fourth person in the small cave.

My heart suddenly tightened, and with my keen perception, I suddenly looked up and saw the face of a female goblin suddenly appeared on the top of the cave. It was looking at us curiously, and when I looked up to see it, Eyes full of fear, he screamed, retracted his head, and disappeared on the top of the cave.

It turns out that the entrance to the secret room where the treasure is stored is actually on the roof of this cave, which is less than three meters above the ground, and the entrance is very concealed, hidden in the shadows.

Even if you walk in with a torch and look up at the top of the cave, you won't find any traces. Unexpectedly, there are still goblins who survived the fire.

I'm not sure how many goblins survived in the cave above, but I think those who survived should be the most elite fighters in the goblin family.

The orc warrior holding the torch called his companions to come in, but when he wanted to climb up to the top of the cave with the help of his companions, I stopped him because the entrance on the top of the cave was not too big, and the orc warriors wanted to Climb in and meet those goblins head-on, you will have no power to fight back, you can only be slaughtered.

I yelled out of the cave: "Kentoya, prepare the corpse fire oil, and clean up the remaining goblins in the cave!"

Without any hesitation, Kentoya stepped in with the fuel tank on his back, and said naively: "Follow your orders, Lord Jijia."

Ji Jilu, the leader of the Pandawang goblins who was sitting in the muddy water, stood up from the muddy water, hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to stand in front of me, and then said to me: "Ji...Master Jia , I... I would like to persuade the goblins in the cave to surrender to you!"

"Why should we persuade them to surrender? We don't want goblin captives. What else can they do besides wasting our food?" Maggie, an orc warrior holding a torch, smiled fiercely and said viciously to Jijilu .

Although I don't particularly agree with what Maggie said, but the current situation is like this. I can't expect these twenty orc warriors to help me take care of these goblin slaves. Among the goblin tribes in the cave, the population of the orc village in Xinliu Valley is too small after all.

"At present, it is true. We don't need goblin captives. There are no merchants willing to buy goblin slaves in the slave market." I said seriously to Jijiru, but I knew what it was worried about, so I comforted it and said: " Don't worry, as long as you help us honestly, I will let you go back, and I will give you a few days to evacuate safely, but you have to go as far away as possible, or you will be retrieved by my soldiers Come on, I can't guarantee that they won't hurt you on the way!"

Unexpectedly, after listening to my comforting words, Jijiru blinked his eyes and said to me timidly: "If you don't want it, you can sell it to me! I mean the goblins inside, you don't have any It is necessary to kill them all, or you can exchange them for some magic red copper, I am willing to buy them!"

It pointed to the hole on the top of its head, took another step forward, and said to me: "I will pay you copper ore equal to their body weight!"

"I will take these new slaves and migrate to the depths of the underground cave. They will become my slaves and collect red copper ore for me." It pointed to its feet, with a flash of greed in its eyes. It smiled and said to me: "There are more ores below here that we need to dig!"

"If you're sure you can manage them, I think I might change my plan to clean up the goblins!" I said to Jijiru with a smile.

"So, you agreed?" Jijirou continued to ask me with his eyes widened.

I nodded and got my affirmation, Jijirou became ecstatic and danced with arms and legs.

I glanced at the rock wall, then turned to Maggie, an orc warrior, and said, "Maggie, send it to the top of the cave!"

The orc warrior Maggie held the torch in one hand, grabbed Jijiru with the other hand, and threw Jijiru up with a casual throw. Jijiru waved his hands and feet in the air. After touching the convex stone on the edge of the entrance of the treasure cave, he swung dangerously on the top of the cave twice before climbing up clumsily.

……

Jijirou squatted at the entrance of the cave and carefully peeked inside, and then said in a hurried goblin language: "ホームのあなたを见るよ..."

The language of the goblins is very fast. Although I have read related books in the library of the Royal Academy of Magic, I can't understand what these goblins are saying, but I can hear that Gigi Lu's tone was very tough, and there seemed to be sounds of quarreling and fighting inside.

Jijilu didn't make us wait too long, a rope ladder was tied down from the top of the cave, and then Jijilu was seen flexibly climbing out of it, descending the rope ladder, and jumping into the cave full of stagnant water. One of his eye circles was a little black and blue, but he didn't seem to care, he puffed out his chest high, and it was obvious that he had succeeded.

I don't know how Jijilu persuaded those goblins hiding in the treasure house. Behind Jijiru are some female goblins wearing decent cotton clothes. Those female goblins generally have one thing in common, that is, they are more Other goblins are much fatter, there are not many folds on the skin of the body, and there is an oily luster on the green skin.

However, when these female goblins climbed out, they were empty-handed, one by one clumsily climbed down the rope ladder, and stood shivering in the cave.

Seeing these decently dressed female goblins, I suddenly understood why Jijiru suddenly had the courage to stand up and tell me that he would use red copper ore in exchange for the lives of these surviving goblins. It is the wife and concubine of the goblin leader of the Danma tribe, but now it seems that it is owned by Jijiru, the leader of the Pandawang goblin tribe.

Jijirou stood aside tremblingly, staring at me carefully, as if he was afraid that I would go back on my word.

I forced a forced smile at him, and said only one sentence: "Then you have to take care of them, don't let them starve and lose weight, remember to have someone bring the magic red copper ore over." Then I turned and walked away .

Seeing that I was not interested in these female goblins, Jijiru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then excitedly fished out the wet weeds from the cave, and sat in the dirty water, poking the grass rope quickly, while talking to me. Looking at the goblins who crawled out of the treasure house, they shouted loudly.

More than 30 well-dressed female goblins climbed out of the cave's treasure house. They had almost nothing but the clothes on their bodies. After they came out, they crowded behind Jijiru and stood quietly in a row. They were obedient. very.

Then some goblins crawled out shiveringly. They climbed down from the rope ladder naked, and each of them carried a square bag of items on their shoulders. The thin straps of the cloth pockets were stretched straight and deeply embedded in the green skin of their shoulders, which seemed heavy.

Each goblin had a terrified expression on their face, and buried their heads deeply in their chests. Under Jijiru's scolding, they lined up obediently, walked out of the cave, and placed the items neatly on the table. ground, and then squatted obediently beside the rock wall, waiting for Jijiru to tie them up one by one with a straw rope and connect them into a string.

Nearly a hundred goblins, large and small, climbed out of the treasure house one after another. A large pile of magic red copper was piled up on the open space in front of the cave. Only then did they stop, looking at a large pile of magic red copper ingots, The specific gravity of red copper is very large. I estimate that the total weight of such a pile of copper ingots will not be less than ten tons.I never thought that a Danma tribe that seemed to be in dire straits would be so rich, but these things seem to be the private property of the tribe leader.

Jijiru is the smartest goblin I have ever seen. He knows how to gain my trust, so he ordered those goblins carrying magic red copper to come out almost naked. He did this for It proves that none of the goblins carried personal possessions.

I walked over to it and asked, "Is there anything else in the treasury?"

It patted its chest and said to me with certainty: "Except for some ordinary metal frames that have not been moved out, everything else is here!"

Jijirou took a look at those magic red coppers, froze for a moment, his eyes stared like light bulbs, walked fiercely to the side of the rock wall, grabbed the loose yellow hair on the head of a bundled goblin like a grass nest, Pulling it up, Jijiru's face was almost pressed against the goblin's face, and he asked it fiercely: "Where is that box? Why is the box gone? You were the last one to come out?"

It was a young goblin. Seeing Jijiru's appearance, he was so frightened that he froze his ass. He pointed at the entrance of the treasure house and said nervously, "He is stuck in が出てこない, hold げることができません..."

Jijiru turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the treasure house in doubt. I couldn't understand what the young goblin said. Jijiru leaned over to me and said, "He said that the people behind couldn't lift the box. There is also a chest with some exquisite stones in it!"

While Jijirou was talking, he saw a goblin's thigh protruding from the exit of the treasure house on the top of the cave. Obviously the goblin was struggling to hook the edge of the convex stone, pulling something outward, standing Maggie on the side wanted to walk over and climb up the rope ladder to help, but I held my shoulders, and then said to Jijirou: "Go and help him, I am bringing two goblins, we will meet you below. "

I'm not worried that someone will assassinate the orc warrior Maggie, but I just feel that the rope of this rope ladder is too thin for Maggie, if he steps on it, the whole rope ladder will break. Go up once, who knows if those goblins will hide their secrets on it.

The orc warrior Maggie touched his head and gave me a simple "hehe" smile, saying that the orcs are a little slow to respond, but they are not stupid at all, they just have a bit straightforward personality.

Now that Jijilu's life is in our hands, he naturally untied the ropes of the two seemingly strong goblins without hesitation, and led them up the rope ladder quickly.

Maggie and Kentoya, I stood beside the rope ladder, looked up, and with the dim light of the 'twilight lighting technique', I saw two goblins sweating profusely taking a metal box full of patterns from the treasure house. Push out.

When I saw the box for the first time, I was stunned, not because it was filled with a whole box of colorful gems, but because of the patterns on the metal box... so many complicated patterns, it is not what I expected Any magic pattern I have seen is a mechanical drawing, the lines are very simple, the structure is clearly a simple metal part, and the words of the goblins are written all over it.

At this time, my heart suddenly stopped for a moment, and then beat violently again, the blood in my chest rushed into my head, and a thought flashed through my mind, could that blueprint be the most prosperous goblin clan? The mechanical drawings of the period, it is said that the technology of the goblins at that time even reached the level of magic, and many technologies replaced magic.

At that time in history, among the goblins, there were many great scientists who worshiped the truth. They did not have any beliefs, and the greatest achievement "Hex Technology" was born.

It's a pity that with the decline of the goblins and being abandoned by the gods, the goblins can only live in places without light. They gradually degenerate into creatures with only rudimentary intelligence, and now they are reduced to the same creatures as those kobolds, jackals, and murlocs , is also the saddest thing.
