The strongest lord system

Chapter 288 The Hand of Midas

"Is that treasure really that important?" Durotan asked suspiciously.

"I don't know if that treasure is really precious, but since it is something in Silvermoon City, it should belong to us." Allen said with a smile.

Xiu Bier said: "Although we know that those things are here, we don't know where those treasures are, and even if we find them, it will take too much time to dig them out."

"Yes, it takes a long time, but for us, it's very easy."

At this moment, a different voice came from the hall.

"who is it."

Startled by the sudden sound, everyone in Allen immediately picked up their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

"Brother, the voice came from underground."

underground!

With Bobo's reminder, Allen began to pay attention to his feet, and he shouted: "I know you are underground, come out quickly. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

"I didn't expect you, Lord City Lord, to be so powerful and discover our location so quickly."

A floor tile in a corner of the hall was broken, and several short figures emerged from it.

"You are goblins." Allen frowned, and the weapon in his hand had been placed on his chest, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

"Please don't get me wrong, we don't have any malicious intentions here." Among the few goblins, a goblin with a higher status than the others walked out, and the goblins all bowed their heads and stepped aside.

"You are the leader of the goblin at yesterday's meeting!" Although Alan is not very familiar with this goblin, at least Alan still remembers what this goblin looks like.

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Santo to remember me. It's an honor." The goblin walked over slowly.

In fact, the appearance of goblins is quite similar to dwarves except for their green complexion and a pair of pointed ears.

"Then I don't know what's the matter with you finding us." Allen said, staring at him closely.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gates. I am the leader of the goblins in this desert city." Gates saluted Allen.

Allen didn't seem to have any malicious intentions when he saw Gates' actions. He said a little puzzled: "What do you mean by this, I don't understand it."

"Master Allen, please allow me to call you that."

"fine."

"According to the rumors you got, it should be the three major forces in the desert city, the Prison Break Guild, the Blood Desert Chamber of Commerce, and our goblin clan." Gates said.

Allen nodded.

"However, in fact, we don't have many rights here. We goblins are not good at fighting by nature, just look at our bodies. If there is any strength we have, it is our goblin technology." Gates' face Said with a proud smile.

"And we are here, actually being held hostage by the Blood Desert Chamber of Commerce, that blood boss." Gates showed a resentful expression on his face.

"Holding? Why?" Allen asked suspiciously.

"The goblins we live here are actually in decline. We have no strength, no food, and no ability to continue the goblin research we are interested in." Gates said with his head down.

Xue Ye next to him whispered in Allen's ear: "Actually, the goblins were also a great existence a long time ago. They possessed the power called 'technology' and even once defeated magic. But later, because of human beings and The power of the orcs, the goblins are still unable to escape the dust of history, and they are slowly declining. However, many things on the mainland are invented by the goblins, and even some magicians will borrow the ideas of the goblins."

"Yes, Miss Elf. However, those are already the history of our goblins. Now we are just a race hiding underground that we can't even protect ourselves." Gates sighed.

"Then why, you are called one of the three major powers in the desert city." Allen asked.

"It's all threatened by Boss Blood. A long time ago, this human suddenly found us goblins and hoped that we would cooperate with him and let us make various things for him. Although he provided us with food and experimental tools and materials. In fact, I know that he is just squeezing us, and once we realize the value of use, he, a profiteer, will throw us aside like waste." Gates said.

"Then why don't you leave here? It's fine if you don't cooperate with them." Allen asked.

"Yes, if we follow our goblin thinking, we can keep escaping. But there is something in his hand that makes us really not want to leave." Gates clenched his hand unconsciously.

"What made you give up your freedom?" Allen asked.

"A great invention of our goblin ancestors, the hand of Midas!" Gates showed a longing expression on his face.

"What, the Hand of Midas!" Xue Ye and Xiu Bier were both amazed for a while, it seemed that they had heard of this thing.

Alan still had a dazed look on his face.

"Master Allen, you may not know what this is. But in the human world a long time ago, there was a popular name for this thing: golden hands!" Gates said.

"Yes, we've also heard about it. It's a magical thing, the mystery of which even our most intelligent elves can't explain." Xue Ye said.

"Golden hands? Could this thing really be able to touch gold?" Allen said a little surprised.

"No, it's just a metaphor." Gates shook his head and continued: "The Hand of Midas is actually a thing made by our ancestors using the technology of our goblins combined with the magic of elves. Because it is really Too peculiar to be sure of its class."

"However, in the eyes of us goblins, this is an artifact-like existence." Gates said with longing: "According to the rumors of our goblins, the hand of Midas can explore the treasures buried under the ground within a few kilometers." , this is just the most basic function. It also has the magical power of an artifact, which can transform the structure of an object. For example, turning a piece of rusty armor into a brand new, even harder armor than before. There are many other Unknown feature."

Hearing this description, Allen suddenly became interested in this thing.

"So since Boss Blood has this thing, why does he still stay in this place? Isn't he able to go out for a long time." Allen asked.

"Because only goblins can use the hand of Midas, and only goblins know the secrets and technology." Gates said a little proudly: "Boss Blood also knows this, he uses the hand of Midas to attack Our temptation, let us work for them, and said that as long as we find the treasure, they will return it to us. However, how can we believe a profiteer [-]%."

"So, you have found us now." A smile appeared on Allen's face: "Gates, tell us your purpose."

"I've heard about your strength from outside rumors, because your Blood Desert Merchant Guild and Prison Break Guild have fought bloody battles with trolls on the west wall for a long time, and suffered heavy casualties. Now they are sending people to look for your traces. Although Desert City It's big, but I'm sure they'll find your place soon," Gates said.

Allen didn't speak, and continued to look at Gates.

"And I found you now because I want to cooperate with you. As long as you help us find the hand of Midas, we can find the place where the treasure is buried for you. Although I have been telling Boss Blood that we can find it soon, But that's just a delay." Gates looked at Allen and said.

"In other words, we will give you the Hand of Midas, and you will find the treasure for me," Allen said.

"Yes."

"Also, I just heard that you came to be the lord here. As long as you cooperate successfully with us, we are willing to continue to help you here and provide you with the advanced technology of our goblins." Gates threw out another a temptation.

Allen touched his chin, and he said, "Then do you know where the hand of Midas is?"

"It's at the headquarters of their Blood Desert Chamber of Commerce, but because of the protection of magic, it is difficult for us goblins to go in quietly." Gates said, it seems that the goblins are also trying to get their things back in private.

"But, you have to know. Our current situation is also very dangerous. As long as they calm down, they will definitely come to look for us, or we will fight. It was a bit troublesome at that time." Allen said .

"At that time, our goblins will help you. And there is a small castle in a place further east, which is very suitable for a temporary base. It is also the stronghold of our goblins. Even if they come to us, it will be difficult for them to gain an advantage ’” Gates said.

"Okay, but I need to go to your castle first. I need to be completely sure of the safety of our team." Allen said seriously.

"No problem, now that the sky is slowly getting dark, I can take you there now." Gates said.

"Okay. You lead the way." Allen nodded.

Walking on the road, Xue Ye asked in a low voice: "Alan, why do you trust that goblin so much? What if he lied to us?"

"Just trust me." Allen said with a smile, because of Bobo's existence, he can clearly know whether the other party is malicious to him.

And at this time, it is not a bad thing to have an ally.

And at this time, in the dark behind them, some figures were slowly disappearing.
