Cthulhu

Chapter 287 The Goblin Patriarch
Zixiang seemed to be able to guess what was going on in his heart. When he was enjoying himself, a chestnut was knocked down. : "Brat, you even took advantage of your sister, didn't you?"

"How can you say it's taking advantage? It's normal for younger brother to pull elder sister's hand." Cheng Cheng was very aggrieved, but he didn't let go of the tender hand he was holding, he really felt nostalgic.

Going to the yard and taking out the magic teleportation ball, I was going to send Sister Zixiang back to the Forbidden Martial City, when a guard ran up quickly, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord, General Yan sent me to report to the Lord, A little old man wants to see you."

"Little old man?" Putting away the magic teleportation ball, Cheng Sheng's eyes were full of confusion, he didn't know any little old man.

"That's right, he looks 1.4 meters five, and he's very thin. He said he has something important to see the lord in person." The guard gave a general description of the little old man's appearance.

1.4 meters five?Grass, how short is this?

"Sister, why don't I send you back to Forbidden Martial City later, come with me to meet who it is now." Thinking of going back to Forbidden Martial City, I will definitely spend a few more hours meditating to restore my spiritual power, and others will come to look for me. You can't make people wait for a few hours in vain.

"Okay, sister will just listen to you." Zixiang agreed to him without rushing for a few hours.

Seeing that Zixiang agreed to stay, Cheng Cheng said to the guard: "Call someone in."

"Yes!" After finishing speaking, the guard got up and ran out of the city lord's mansion quickly.

He took Zixiang's hand just now, and seeing that she didn't mean to blame, Cheng Cheng grabbed her soft little hand again and said, "Sister, let's go into the hall and wait."

Zixiang rolled his eyes at him, a little bit to blame, but he didn't break free, and walked into the main hall of the city lord's mansion together with him.Originally, the City Lord's Mansion was a landmark building in the city, but after the Qunyinghui took over the Jade Maiden City, although it also renovated the Jade Maiden City, and found no leaks and leaks, it was still the same dilapidated scene as before.

It's not that there is no money to tear down and rebuild the City Lord's Mansion, but that Mary Lou feels that there is no need for it. The most urgent task now is to build the city defense, and then plan to build the City Lord's Mansion.Without a golden cage, even a golden horse tied inside would appear nondescript.

Back in the main hall, Cheng Cheng asked someone to serve two cups of tea, and chatted with Sister Zixiang while drinking tea. After touching a stick of incense, the guard brought the little old man into the main hall. Focusing on the little old man, I saw that he was really only 1.4 meters tall, and he was very thin, his hair looked a bit messy, there was an oversized toad glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, and there was also a pair of hair under his nose. Mustache.No matter how you look at it, this little old man looks like a professor who spends sleepless nights on studying.

"It's you looking for me?" Cheng Cheng looked the little old man up and down, he was really afraid that the wind would blow him away if he didn't pay attention, so he couldn't help asking curiously.I thought to myself that I don't know such a little old man, what can I do with myself?
"You are the lord of Jade Maiden City?" The little old man also took a look at Cheng Cheng, and was a little surprised. It really feels abnormal to be a lord at such a young age.Nodding his head, he said with a very serious expression.

The more serious the little old man put on, the more Cheng Cheng felt he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, that would be too disrespectful to the guests, so he had to hold back, so that his face turned red.The tone couldn't help but be a little lively: "Yes, I am the lord of Yufu City, what do you need to find me?"

"That's good. I've made a special trip to visit the city lord this time because I want to discuss a contract with you." Seeing that he found the right person, the little old man looked at him seriously and said.

"Contract? We haven't met before, what contract is there to talk about?" Wei Wei was taken aback, Cheng Cheng was taken aback by the little old man, what contract did he have to sign with him?

"Here, I want to discuss with the lord to stop the diamond mining in the Tuohe territory." , The news is absolutely strictly sealed, how could he know?
Hearing the other party's straightforward approach, Cheng Cheng's face also changed color, and he was shocked. He stared at the little old man intently for a while, and then smiled: "Stop mining diamonds? Why should we stop mining? Is it based on your words?"

Since the other party reported the location of the mineral deposits in one go, and also clearly stated the diamonds, there is no point in pretending to be crazy.When he asked this question, Cheng Sheng's body was obviously full of murderous intent. No matter what purpose the little old man came for, knowing that Qunying would mine diamond deposits would result in consequences.

However, since the little old man dared to come alone and sat in front of him face to face, he naturally had something to rely on, so Cheng Cheng didn't dare to act rashly.

"Of course not, that's why I came to negotiate with the lord." Shaking his head, the little old man said.

"Since it is necessary to negotiate, it is not impossible for Qunying to stop the mining of Tuohe diamonds. We roughly estimated that there are nearly [-] tons of diamond reserves in the distribution of diamonds under the Tuohe River. As long as you are willing to take out one Hundreds of millions of gold coins, I can stop mining these diamonds." Smiling, Cheng Cheng leaned on the soft chair and said with a nonchalant smile.

Nearly a hundred tons of diamonds, how can it be said that they will not be mined or not mined? What a joke.Even if it is a war with Fengyu City, these huge amounts of diamond Chengsheng are determined to win, not only for selling money, but also for arming the heroes to create more powerful weapons and armor.

"As far as I know, the Tuohe River is the dividing line between Jade Girl City and Fengyu City, and a large number of diamonds are distributed within the Fengyu City area. Is it too much for the lord to ask for hundreds of millions of gold coins? "The little old man seems to know everything, which is really unbelievable.

Cheng Cheng was slightly taken aback, did this little old man go down the mine too?Otherwise, how could he know that a large number of diamonds are distributed in Fengyu City? : "Leaving aside the topic of mining, talk about who are you? What is the motivation for us to stop mining diamond mines?"

"Since the matter has reached this point, I can't hide it from the lord. Let me tell you everything. In fact, the diamond distribution area under the Tuo River is the home of our goblins. If we continue to dig like this, the home of the goblins will be destroyed It is about to be destroyed, so I have to come here to discuss with the lord today to stop digging diamonds." The little old man knew that he couldn't hide it anyway, so he let out a long breath and said leisurely.

Goblins!Known as the most outstanding civil architects and natural inventors, every member of the goblin clan is extremely intelligent. Because of their combat effectiveness and strength, they belong to the weak, but their clever minds make the goblin clan not everyone dare to mess with .

Goblins have always been a very mysterious existence. Everyone on Doumo knows that there is such a race as goblins, but few people have seen them.

When Cheng Cheng heard that the little old man was a goblin, he also opened his eyes wide. Even Zi Xiang, who had always been stable, had brilliant eyes, staring at the little old man for a moment, as if he was full of interest in him.

After thinking about it, the goblins depicted in the book are indeed short and thin.The height is about the same as that of the dwarves, but far less strong than the dwarves. No matter how you look at it, this little old man meets the conditions of the goblins, and he can't help being overjoyed.

"You all live underground?" No wonder the goblins are so mysterious, they burrow and live underground like mice. It is quite difficult to see goblins.Cheng Sheng asked curiously.

"That's right, the goblin family passed down and built their nests underground." I didn't want to reveal these things at first, but if I didn't tell them, the goblin family would be destroyed, the little old man had to say.There are two reasons why the goblins build their nests underground. One is that the underground is not easy to be found by the enemy, and it is also a strong defensive fortress. Even if they cannot defend it, they can escape through the tunnels they built.The second is that the invention and production of goblins are inseparable from a material such as diamond. It is extremely convenient to use local materials, so why not do it?
"So it's like this. Why can't I live in a good house? Living underground is not only not ventilated, but also damp. Isn't this a crime to suffer?" No wonder the little old man looked so weak that he lived underground all day long. It's so bright, I can't even imagine it.

"Brother, this is wrong. The goblins are too poor in physical fitness and their combat effectiveness is very weak. Moreover, many forces have taken a fancy to the smart minds of goblins, and want to capture them and use them to make new types of weapons and equipment. There is no harm at all. The goblins had no choice but to dig the cellar in order to avoid the forces of all parties, but I didn’t expect you to dig it out.” After speaking, Zixiang couldn’t help giggling coquettishly, it seemed that it was really It is not safe anywhere, hiding in the ground will be dug out sometimes.

Cheng Cheng couldn't help but nodded, the goblins were indeed too sought after, so that they became street rats and had to dig holes in the ground.After a while, he asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your honorable name yet."
