"Even if there is only one bone left, it is easy to deal with, but if there is not even the last bit of corpse left, the most advanced resurrection spell is needed."
And that has always been not for sale.
Realizing that his teammates who died with Goblin Rikka would never come back, Penguin covered his face with his hands and kept sobbing.
"Why do I feel like she is smiling? Is it because the inheritance belongs to her?"
"This is so pitiful. Let Lily help you!" 』
While saying this, Lily directly used the "Laughing Technique" on Tila.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Chen Zhou was silent, but now he was really laughing.
However, Tira quickly blocked the spell's effect with her will.
"How can anyone use the "Crazy Laughter Technique" in this situation? "
After living out for many years, she felt deeply uncomfortable with the traditions of her hometown. Compared with the automatic dwarf with a sense of humor level of 5, she felt that this carnival dragon was a bit more hellish.
"Can't you... Sooner or later Lily will invent a smile magic that can make people really smile. 』
Not to mention the young dragon's ambition, it didn't take long for Tela to accept the reality after realizing that her teammates were irreparable.
After all, for adventurers, death is a minor issue. If the car accidentally rolls over in a rural place like the main material plane, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
The mess left by the last visit to Asta was now settled, and now it was time to focus more on the mission.
"We have three main tasks for this trip. The first purpose is to go to the Northland to evaluate the development prospects of the Aindra River Territory. The second is to investigate the abuse of alchemy and portals in the Norton Kingdom. Finally, we try to find the Spellweaver. heritage."
However, considering that their current location happened to be in the Norton Kingdom, the order of the plan had to be adjusted somewhat.
Xiao Hei couldn't help but wonder: "Judging from the current situation in the wilderness and goblin lairs, the Norton Kingdom is indeed abusing alchemy."
Tila, who had a better understanding of alchemy, shook his head. The development of this technology must come with a price, and it actually does not prove anything.
She needs conclusive evidence that proves that the Norton Kingdom dumps large amounts of alchemical waste into the countries of the monopoly alliance.
In other words, it's best to catch what's happening and write it down.
"I have a question, if the monopoly alliance gets..."
"It's the Penguin Trade Alliance, Chen." Tira corrected.
"What would your alliance do if they got evidence that the Norton Kingdom was dropping waste on its members?"
Chen Zhou was very curious. According to Tila, the monopoly alliance would not easily start a plane war, but would more likely colonize from the top down. But to be honest, colonizing such a bad land as Asta did not seem to be of much benefit.
"Probably protest, stop, claim compensation, and then sell our garbage disposal and other technologies?" Hearing this, Tila spread his hands. "Colonization and war are the last resorts when there is no other choice."
But no matter what, the financial expenditure of the Norton Kingdom will suffer a wave of heavy bleeding.
Chen Zhou was relieved for the time being.
After solving the problems left over from the last time of the Tira team, how to deal with these goblins became a problem.
Logically speaking, such an enemy should be eliminated directly, but the Penguin, who is motivated by profit, cannot afford to do it early, and is obviously too lazy to do such a thing that cannot produce value.
So she simply called out the goblin elder Doug Reman and asked the goblin tribe to hand over all valuable things for compensation.
But after the elves took away the most valuable thing in the lair, a large pile of copper refined by the alchemist, even the Penguin couldn't help but show a helpless expression on his face.
In line with what you just said about refining... does the copper smelter really mean refining copper?
"Refining copper from alchemical waste seems to be very powerful." Chen Zhou couldn't imagine how to turn copper that has become ions into a simple substance again.
Firstly, he is not a science student, and secondly, the magical world may have special rules.
"Only alchemy apprentices can do this kind of hard work." Tiela was disdainful of this. "The real alchemy is to create things that contain all the elements and use them to perform miracles out of nothing."
The Philosopher's Stone... Chen Zhou exchanged the ingredient list and production method for this thing, but it was a pity that the River Territory could not meet the requirements.
"So in true alchemy, everything is inevitable, and even non-existent substances can be created by themselves?"
Penguin believed it, but why did the other party's statement feel a bit strange?
But the goblins obviously have no intention of thinking about "real alchemy".
"There is a lot of copper in the garbage, which is valuable." The elder, who is the chief copper alchemist, explained that it turns out that the copper component in the alchemical waste can easily be extracted into metal, so that he can survive by trading with other merchants who are not so unfavorable to goblins. required.
Even so, they have to pay higher prices to buy ordinary goods.
"It always feels like something is not quite right."
After hearing what the elder said, Chen Zhou subconsciously felt a sense of disobedience.
Norton Kingdom discharges garbage → Goblins refine the valuable components in the garbage → sell them to kingdom merchants in exchange for food and other substances.
Isn't this a black slave?
Goblins even have to say thank you?
"After all, goblins themselves are not a civilized race. Is it a good thing to make them valuable in this way?"
Chen Zhou shook his head repeatedly. These countless generations of goblins had been mutated by alchemical waste. This approach was somewhat unethical.
Anyway, these goblins also have special skills. There is no need to just hang around. How about simply bringing them to the Great River Territory to live.
He thought that the current racial composition of the Great River Territory was already very complex, and it would not be a big deal to be a little more complex.
What's more, no matter how green-skinned they are, these goblins still master basic alchemy techniques. With a little training, they can master the correct operations and habits and go straight to work.
A tribe of goblins with wild alchemical knowledge and mild resistance to the effects of alchemical waste...
"They do generate greater value, but goblins?"
It's not that Jerry looks down on this race, even among astral adventurers, this race is considered cannon fodder.
What's more, they are located in the north of the hinterland of the Norton Kingdom. If they want to lead such a group of goblins across the border and grasslands to the Great River Territory, less than half of them may die on the way.
Taking into account various factors, it felt that it was enough to give these goblins a little support within its capabilities.
"Lily feels that the Great River Territory can definitely add another goblin race. As long as they can abide by our rules and abandon evil and do good, there is no need to give up on them because of such a trivial matter as race. 』
So after Tila forced Krypton to finish and everyone left.
Lily then controlled an ice and snow structure similar to her own and came back to carefully examine whether this group of goblins had the qualifications to settle in the Great River Territory.
