"Did you hear that?"
"Which one are you talking about...the one on the east side?"
In the bustling tavern, small groups of adventurers gathered together to relax after the tension. When a tall, middle-aged man with a very friendly face caused a topic, everyone gradually began to gather together to discuss the strange "village".
"Tell me, can that be true?"
A man wearing a magic professional shorts looked at the strong man and said with a hint of joking: "The goblin brain... really opened a gathering point?"
"I don't know." The woman dressed in armor drank the strong wine in the glass and said in a bad tone: "But the group of profiteers at the southern entrance are getting more and more excessive. Last time I bought two bottles of ordinary antidote there. They actually charged me six silver coins! That thing can't even be bought for three silver coins in the city-state! These pieces of shit should be hung on the flagpole."
"The Purple Sha Merchant Guild can hang a little lower." The mage smiled, patted the woman's shoulder, and made a clanging sound. "They sell it for four silver, which is a bit humane."
"What's your antidote? It's just a little money."
At this time, the shadow professional in leather clothes walked to the bar, leaned on it weakly, and said in a low voice, "Another team was wiped out in the west. It was confirmed that it was Bai Linghu who did it, and there were traces of the spirit body being broken. "
"The permafrost field in the north has worsened again. Even the silver-level mage can't completely stop the cold. I have a friend who found a silver-level mage the day before yesterday because he was greedy and ended up dying in the ice field."
"The mosquitoes in the south are more poisonous now, and some even carry the deadly fever virus from the southern continent. Three people died yesterday because of this."
Hearing this, everyone's faces had somewhat complicated expressions. Some people are happy, some people are sad, and even more people are confused about future exploration.
"Haha." The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "In our line of work, it is normal to die at any time. But I still feel uncomfortable hearing this kind of news."
"Sentimental." The woman on the side rolled her eyes, then ordered another glass of strong wine and drank it in one gulp. Then she said in a loud voice: "When it comes to death, everyone is so cowardly, let you do some safe work." Still reluctant to part with the money, I finally found a safe entrance in the east, but what’s the result? Everyone is afraid of this? They all want others to check if it’s safe, and they hide behind it. Isn’t that interesting?”
After being told what they meant, these adventurers inevitably felt a little ashamed. Yes, what they just said was not only based on their feelings, but also because they hoped that others could explore the "Happy Goblin in the Countryside". Because compared to poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, they are more afraid of green-skinned retards who look harmless to humans and animals.
In fact, what Azi said at that time was not complete. In fact, if the goblins just "curse others after being killed," then the way to break this curse would be very simple. As long as you injure all the goblins and imprison them, or use a shield to bravely walk into the forest with the attack, it is a relatively simple method. However, none of these methods worked.
Twenty years ago, a person who specialized in studying curses on goblins made an extremely important discovery. That is, the curse of goblins is not actually "given to those who kill them". But "a person haunted by goblin resentment." And being killed is the moment when a person's resentment is the strongest.
The most powerless thing is that besides death, another way the goblins will resent you is so outrageous that it is even difficult for people to decipher - being crushed by your IQ.
Yes, goblins will exude a lot of resentment when they feel that they have been fooled and outsmarted by others. Although these grievances are not as strong as death grievances and will not directly kill people, the negative impact they bring is definitely much more serious than dying directly.
After all, the big trees in the Twisted Forest know how to be in Aruba.
The biggest problem here is that if you figure out a way to get through the entrance without killing the goblin, then no matter what, it will crush the goblin's IQ.
The closed loop belongs to yes.
"Don't you all dare to go?" The woman put down her wine glass, snorted heavily, and said with a sneer: "I will go by myself, and I will keep the good things alone. If I am cursed by the goblin, I will be honest In fact, if I just find some work in the city and find a man to work with, I don’t believe that I can starve to death if I can’t be an adventurer.”
"Maeve, are you crazy?"
The middle-aged man on the side opened his mouth and said to the woman named Maeve in disbelief: "You have two more tasks before you can apply for promotion to Silver. If you are unable to enter the Twilight Forest in the future, your promotion score will be directly You will be disqualified from promotion!"
"Ah."
Her long fiery red hair was tied behind her back, and a light scar on her charming cheek added a bit of wild beauty. Maeve stood up. The heavy iron armor could not hide her proud figure. She put the wine glass aside and said to the middle-aged man seriously:
"Jellison, if I wanted to advance to Silver, I would not have refused Duke Li's invitation back then. All I had to do was take off my clothes and climb into his bed, and I would be able to directly advance to Silver. The ticket to the realm does not require you to crawl on the edge of death every day, do you understand?"
Maeve walked up to Jellison and said to him word for word:
"What I need is freedom, adventure, anything that can make my blood boil. Instead of spending my mediocre life doing nothing."
Faced with Maeve's words, a wry smile appeared on Jellison's face. He sighed helplessly. After all, he was just a drinking buddy, so it was hard to persuade her much. He also knew about what happened to Maeve in Silver City, but he couldn't comment on it, so he didn't say anything.
"gone."
Maeve waved her hand, and eleven copper coins fell neatly on the bar, leaving only a beautiful shadow for everyone. Then she seemed to have thought of something, turned around suddenly, walked quickly to the bar, took back a copper coin and ran away.
"Hey, little girl."
The bartender took back the ten copper coins dumbfounded, and then continued to clean his glass.
*******************************************
“This place is the business district I want to build in the future.”
After sleeping in the luxurious carriage and washing up with the magician sister who majored in water, Azi and her housekeeper began to inspect the farmhouse with Zhou Li.
Looking at the open area made of wood in front of her, Ah Zi nodded with satisfaction. This person named Zhou Li really has two skills. The location of the commercial area is very particular. It is not next to a dangerous entrance, nor is it just placed in a remote corner. Instead, it is placed in a place where everyone can pass by and will know how to do it. An area where you can take a leisurely stroll.
If Zhou Li knew what A Zi was thinking, he would definitely sneer and then tell her about the value of geography for being the top liberal arts student in the college entrance examination.
But he didn't. He just pointed at the wooden frame in the commercial area and said to Azi: "There is only a frame because we have to customize it according to your needs. If you have any plans, please let me know."
Eluma on the side put the shortbread in the paper bag in her arms into her mouth, and followed Zhou Li with her big moist eyes. She looked at the two people who were chatting happily, and her serious expression gave people a coquettish look. Cute and silly. She came this time as an escort, or in other words, a spectator.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at Eluma, who was wearing short-sleeved trousers and had a bulging mouth, and was as cute as a hamster. A big question mark appeared in Azi's mind involuntarily.
Why has the style of painting changed?
Where is Eluma who looked like a goddess yesterday?
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to buy adhesive."
At this time, Zhou Li slapped his forehead and suddenly said to Eluma beside him: "Eluma, help me buy two bottles of adhesive in the miscellaneous market later."
Eluma quickly puffed up her cheeks when she heard this, and found that she couldn't swallow it in one breath. Then she whimpered twice, stretched out two fingers and rushed towards Zhou Li.
"A bottle of that thing only costs five coppers..."
Zhou Li understood Eluma's meaning instantly, then took out his money bag with a dark look on his face, counted twenty copper coins and threw them to Eluma. Eluma directly put the paper bag under her arm and caught the twenty copper coins with a wave of her right hand. She narrowed her eyes like crescent moons and made an OK gesture with a smile. Azi on the side tilted her head, a puzzled expression flashed on her face, but she didn't say anything, she just watched Eluma use her magical power to rush into the distance.
After Eluma left, Zhou Li turned around and said to Azi with some apology: "I have a product that I need to use adhesive for comparison, but I forgot to buy it yesterday. I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter. After all, I am an uninvited guest."
Azi said to Zhou Li with a smile, then she put her hands behind her back, looked at the orderly Goblin tribe, and said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect that the Goblin tribe that the adventurers used to avoid would soon be... It has become the most prosperous area in Dusk Forest."
"The most prosperous is not considered the most prosperous." Zhou Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Silver City is much more prosperous than my place. After all, it is a land given by the God of Justice, and I can't compare with it."
"Ms. Yilu?" Azi heard this, and after thinking for a moment, asked Zhou Li: "By the way, I don't know your occupation, Mr. Zhou, can you tell me a little bit?"
"This."
Zhou Li thought for a while and realized that Ah Zi had already signed a confidentiality contract, so it was time for a strategic deterrent. While he was thinking this, he took out the brave book hanging from his waist, and then waved his hand to remove the covering magic on it.
"My profession is to be a brave man."
The four big characters gilded on the cover almost blinded Azi's eyes. She took two steps back in shock and lost her composure for a moment. She pointed at the book and couldn't even speak clearly:
"Brave, brave, brave, brave??????????????????????"
"Oh, that's right."
Zhou Li turned over the first page. The twelve divine emblems flowing with various divine lights engraved on it exuded a halo that made people surrender. Then he closed the book and said with an innocent face: "The treatment is pretty good. The main reason is that there is little competition pressure and there is no need for involution.”
Of course there is no competitive pressure! ! !
There can only be one brave man! ! ! ! ! !
