Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"A gem." Ron sighed as he looked at the words on the note that had become familiar due to magic.

He knew it.

"This wizard obviously doesn't know that the gem and the slate are one and the same," Yelena laughed with some gloating, "and Moloch himself is so poor that a single gem is enough for him to pay the corresponding reward!"

"This is not funny," Ivy glanced at Shadow Spirit, "One of the remaining two gems is in the Nine Hells, what could be worse than this?"

"Of course my mistress may lose her status," Yelena restrained her smile, "Don't forget, Malborg's current master is Grand Duke Gracia, Moloch's recovery of power is definitely not a good thing."

"As for the gem, that's none of my business."

"The struggle in the Nine Hells is none of our business!" Driver rolled his eyes, "Do you want us to just give the Delusion Land to the Abyss and then leave?"

"Your master seems to be quite interested in this place. I wonder what she will think of you after hearing the reason why we gave up the Delusion Land?"

Yelena shuddered when she heard this. Although the goblin hunter is not very smart, his IQ is always high when threatening others.

"Ah, I suddenly thought of it!" Shadow Spirit pretended to be inspired, "It is said that Moloch often appears in Sigil! Maybe I can ask someone to help find out?"

"As a shadow spirit and a contract magician, I should have some connections in this area!"

"Sigil... The City of Gates is not a place you can go to whenever you want," Ron waved his hand, "Compared to this, let's worry about the things in front of us first."

"Now Annie's construction team is working very effectively, and foreign population is gradually pouring in. If this continues, I believe that other beings besides your master will start to pay attention to this place again."

"Those problems left over from ancient times must be solved first."

"You mean... prepare to go to the wizard "The ruins he has visited?" Constance opened her eyes wide, "But, we should not be able to catch up with him, right?"

"The reason he turned to the devil for help was to explore the ruins. If he can't achieve his goal even if he sells his soul, then it would be too stupid for him as a wizard."

Ron used the illusion trick to show his companions the location of the ruins recorded in the notebook: "They must have explored the entire ruins a long time ago, but considering the changes that may have occurred over the years, I think we still need a guide who is more familiar with the surrounding environment there."

"Aik'sui, stop shaking your tail. Have you been here?" Ron took two steps back, trying to avoid Ak'sui's tail, but the young dragon followed him again.

"Although I can't do it, I can summon my followers!" The black dragon young dragon shouted, "Molo and the others can definitely help!"

Those dog-headed people? Ron raised his eyebrows. Is the range of activities of those small creatures really that far?

"Don't be so wishful. You just want to go there," Yelena sneered. "If there is nothing wrong with the map Ron showed, the Gnoll Canyon is far away from there!"

"Perhaps, you can ask Polly for help?" Sylvia suggested, "The benefactor spared her life. It's time for her to pay her back."

Yelena and Constance looked at the others in confusion. After Ivy's explanation, they knew who "Polly" was.

"Absolutely not!" Constance protested immediately, "Mr. Ron, I admire you very much, but how can you make a deal with a witch? This is even more...excessive than colluding with the devil!"

"Every time you communicate with them, you risk your life! They are not trustworthy at all!"

This half-elf should have wanted to say "more depravity and evil", but he didn't say it out loud.

"Hags and demons are the same," Yelena said without comment. "Although you kindly gave me the right to move freely, I am still your captive and I have no say in your decision."

"Besides, actually... because of the hags' aesthetics, I get along well with them - except for the shadow spirits themselves, few creatures think our image in the Shadow Underworld is beautiful."

"Even in the material plane, it is beautiful."

"Sisters have a good foundation, but are you sure you want to follow the hags' aesthetics?" As a victim who was hurt by a hag's vicious words, Sylvia's mouth twitched, "If you hadn't wanted to kill us before, I would even be willing to dress you up, which would definitely be-"

"Then forget it," Yelena looked at She glanced at the dhampir and said, "The change in my appearance is proof of my pursuit of power and knowledge. Although I know it is no longer beautiful and I even resist looking in the mirror, I have no intention of hiding its true appearance - except for work requirements."

"Will dwarves and halflings walk on stilts because they are dissatisfied with their height? It's the same principle."

Ron looked around: "It's really strange. There are no dwarves in our team, but it is still full of dwarf jokes. Isn't it puzzling?"

"The height and vulgarity of dwarves are used for ridicule," Yelena responded as a matter of course, and Constance actually agreed with this. "The only exception I have seen in all these years is Rurik here. His words and deeds at the banquet that night were obviously influenced by the elven culture."

"Indeed, as a dwarf, his quirk of 'three no-forging' is really unreasonable." Now even Ivy agreed.

"Then let's make it like this," Ron brought the topic back to the side track, "No matter what conditions the hag will put forward, we should always go and take a look - there will be no loss."

"And maybe we can get something out of her by trying to build a 'friendship'."

"Go empty-handed, even if you have saved her life, she won't help," Shadow Spirit reminded, "Don't ask me how I know, I have a night hag bestie, once."

"Did you break up because you wanted to get something for nothing?" Exure stared curiously.

"Yes," Yelena shrugged, "It was indeed a 'break up', I and a few compatriots tied up her limbs and head with spiked chains, and then called five groups of ravens - snap!"

"Did your spiked chains break?" Driver asked stupidly. He had seen hags before, such a big creature.

Seeing that everyone was not frightened by the cruelty of the shadow spirit, Yelena rolled her eyes at the goblin with a bored look: "Anyway, it wasn't the spiked chain or the ravens that broke into six pieces."
