Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Me? Let's forget it," Ron looked at the necklace, "It doesn't look right no matter what I wear, right?"

"This is obviously a women's necklace. I'd rather wear a big gold chain as thick as my finger than this one! Besides, I can't put it on either!"

"Isn't this very simple?" Drayford expressed doubts, "Can you just put it in your backpack and take it out when needed? Just like those gems."

"Can't you remove these gems?" Sera came over and wanted to try it.

"No!" Several people stopped her in unison, "This magic item is a whole piece, and the gems that are removed will return to their original appearance!"

The reason why this necklace is precious is that it is a necklace, not a string of gems!

"And it won't work if you put it on your hand," Ron demonstrated to the goblin. "Look, I can't activate it. It has to be worn around my neck to be effective."

"There are so many things about elves..." Driver muttered. He was actually quite greedy for this.

And just as coveted by him was the black dragon Eksuri who had been watching for a long time.

"I want to ask, does this thing have to be worn around the neck?" He blinked, "I want to give it a try."

"You?" Ron glanced at the rugged horns on his head and thick neck, "I can't do it, can you wear it?"

"I didn't say I wanted to wear this neck," the young dragon stretched out its tail narrowly, "Come on, come on, put it on for me and try it!"

"I've heard of hand-necks and ankle-necks, but this is the first time I've heard of tail-necks!" Ron put the Highland Pride on his tail. "It looks like it will fall off at any time."

"If I explode the scales a little bit, won't they get stuck?" Aixuri showed off proudly, "Look, look, isn't it very shiny?"

"Let me try casting uh... Mark Slash!"

The mimic hiding in the corner of the treasure house was so frightened that his soul flew away: "Master, master! Don't hit me, I can't resist a beating!"

"Hit it! Look at the shell of this stone treasure chest, doesn't it look like an excellent target for practicing?"

"You!" The entire Mimic creature was in bad shape, and then it was pleasantly surprised to find that its new owner seemed to have no interest in it. Instead, it opened its claws and went straight to scratch its own kind!

At this moment, the luster of the jade on Aiksuri's tail dimmed, and instead, the tip of his right claw shone like a star, leading four radiant trajectories straight towards the Mimic.

"Ah! I can't do it anymore!" I don't know if it was real or an act. The mimic screamed, and his whole body began to change shape, turning into a sarcophagus like his compatriots. When Exuri slapped its shell with a claw, it vomited out its pseudopods like other creatures spitting out their tongues and vomiting blood, and also vomited out a large amount of coins that were used as bait in its body.

"Oh! It's really useful!" Exuri didn't care whether the mimic was injured or how badly it was injured. It just saw that its concealment was actually effective, and it could really release the spell on the necklace!

"Wait a minute, what is this?" Seeing that it was effective, Ron was about to take out the third gem, but saw Shadow Spirit Yelena walking straight towards the Mimic.

"That's a mimic, you've never seen it before, right?" Sera raised her eyebrows, "What's all the fuss about?"

"It's not that, it's this." Yelena took out a coin that was obviously different in shape from other coins from the pile of "vomit" of the mimic.

Compared with those gold, silver and copper coins, this coin is huge. It is more than ten centimeters in diameter and two to three centimeters thick. It is dark in color and has a faint dark red light on it.

"This is the first time I know that there is such a thing as an 'iron coin'," Dreyfudou leaned over and looked at it for a long time. "What is the exchange ratio between this thing and copper coins?"

"It can't be exchanged," Yelena said, regardless of her status as a prisoner, and stretched out her hand to push the goblin aside. "Even if you exchange a lot of gold coins, there may not be anyone willing to do it."

"Because this 'iron coin' you call comes from the Nine Hells and is the currency in circulation there."

"Soul Coin?!" Ron was shocked, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"

"Look at this," Yelena handed the coin over and pointed to the words engraved on the front and back. "It has the words in Purgatory and the magic that binds a soul to the coin. It is absolutely unmistakable. This is the soul coin! "

"The trace you want me to find is right here - Hey, Mimic, where did you find this?"

Facing the gazes of many eyes, the mimic subconsciously gave up. Instead, the treasure box over there answered this question for him.

"It doesn't want to stay in the cave. From time to time it wanders to the ruins outside. I guess that's where it is."

"Yes, yes, it's just outside!" the mimic said quickly, "I just want to see if there are other creatures passing by here, looking for treasures in the ruins. If there is such a thing, can't I rely on it? Did they take the bait?"

"I swear, I never meant to keep this thing for myself. It was completely an accident!"

But unfortunately, no matter how it defended itself, Ron and the others were no longer paying attention to it. Ron took the soul coin, and when the cold iron piece fell into his palm, he immediately felt the feeling of the soul inside; anger, uncontrollable rage burned in this small coin.

"Although I'm not a soul dealer, if you want, I should be able to find some way to let you read the story in it," Yelena said tentatively, "You know, each soul coin has a unique soul trapped inside, so each has a unique story. They may be imprisoned for violating the contract, or they may be victims of the curse of the night witch."

"Can they be released?" Ivy asked, "Imprisoning souls... doesn't sound like a good thing."

"You can, but even so, you can't redeem it," Yelena shrugged, "Why not let it play its due role."

"Of course, the decision is up to you, I'm just responsible for explaining it."

"Cannot be redeemed?" Victoria asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because only a part of the souls return to the realm of the god they serve or the outer plane corresponding to their camp, and some of them may emerge from the Styx as inferior demons," Yelena said, "Although releasing souls from soul coins is a good thing, you should not want that soul to get an ending that does not belong to it, right?"
