Because neither Liu Xing nor Yin En could enter the tunnel, Liu Xing and Yin En had no choice but to leave the warehouse first.
But when Liu Xing and others left the warehouse, they saw a young man who looked very similar to Shen Aotian waiting at the door of the warehouse.
"The two of you are Lord Liu Xing and Lord Yin En of the Brave Team. Next is Shen Dazhuang, the person in charge of a blacksmith shop." Shen Dazhuang said with a smile.
Liu Xing and Yin En glanced at Shen Aotian subconsciously, and Shen Aotian lowered his head slightly and said: "Shen Dazhuang is my eldest brother and the next head of our Shen family; brother, I saw you were still busy just now. There was an order, so I took the initiative to bring two adults from the Brave Team in to check on the situation in the warehouse."
Shen Dazhuang nodded and continued to smile: "I see, that's really troublesome for you, little brother. But then again, I remember that your hotel should be opening for business. Little brother, you should go back and make preparations, right? I will be responsible for receiving the two brave men."
Shen Aotian knew that Shen Dazhuang was giving him an eviction order, so Shen Aotian could only give Liu Xing and Yin En an apologetic look, and then left Youjian Blacksmith Shop directly.
Obviously, the relationship between Shen Aotian and his eldest brother is not very good.
But what worries Liu Xing the most is that the name Shen Dazhuang is not cool enough compared to his younger brother and his father and grandfather.
At this time, Shen Dazhuang turned aside and said in a respectful tone: "You two brave men, if you have time now, can you go to my office to discuss in detail? I know what the two brave men are here for today."
Since Shen Dazhuang said so, Liu Xing and Yin En of course nodded in agreement.
So, Shen Dazhuang brought Liu Xing and Yin En to his office.
After serving tea to Liu Xing and Yin En, Shen Dazhuang said seriously: "I know that all the brave men are eager to defeat the evil dragon Bahamut, so this material theft incident has caused a lot of trouble to all the brave men. It’s troublesome, so here, as the person in charge of Youjian Blacksmith Shop, I must say sorry to all the brave men.”
After Liu Xing and Yin En exchanged a look, they decided to follow the previous plan and start playing the good guy and the bad guy.
Due to the professional reasons of Liu Xing and Yin En, of course, this villain can only be played by Yin En.
Therefore, Yin En's expression changed and he said fiercely: "If a sorry is useful, then why do we need guards? You should know that the princess is still in the hands of the evil dragon, and her life is like a candle in the wind. All of them may disappear, but at this time you tell us that all the materials were stolen, and they were stolen by a group of low-class goblins. What should we do? And don’t you think this Is it too much of a coincidence? We just arrived at the Blacksmith Village and the materials were stolen?"
Shen Dazhuang had already guessed that Yin En would say this, so he still replied calmly: "Sir Yin En, it is very normal for you to have doubts about this matter. After all, the timing of the theft was such a coincidence that I They all began to suspect that there was a mole in the blacksmith shop, but I believe that Master Yin En and Master Liu Xing could both see that the tunnel in the warehouse could not be dug out overnight, even for Goblins who are good at digging tunnels. race, so one of our blacksmith shops now thinks that the goblins probably wanted to steal other materials, but they happened to see those precious materials, so they naturally chose to take away those precious materials."
Liu Xing nodded and said: "Boss Shen, you are right. This is indeed a possibility now, but why would the goblins make a special trip to attack a blacksmith shop? Logically speaking, there is a blacksmith shop.
The materials used should be similar to those used by other blacksmith shops in the blacksmith village, so why do these goblins choose to go far away and not steal the blacksmith shop at the outermost edge of the blacksmith village?"
Shen Dazhuang laughed, shook his head and said: "It seems that Mr. Liu Xing, you don't know much about our blacksmith shop. You must know that even iron ore is divided into three, six or nine grades. The iron ore produced in different places will have some subtle differences."
The difference, and the easiest way to distinguish the strength of each blacksmith shop in our blacksmith village is to look at the distance between the location of the blacksmith shop and the center of the blacksmith village. The farther away the blacksmith shop is, the worse its strength will be, so the closer it is
The blacksmith shops on the city wall of the Blacksmith Village can only make farm tools such as hoes and sickles. The materials stored in their warehouses are naturally not much better. As a blacksmith shop that occupies the center of the Blacksmith Village, the ones in our warehouse
I don’t know how high the materials are compared to other blacksmith shops, so..."
"So, what are those Goblins stealing these materials for? I remember that the Goblins can't make iron weapons, right? And it's impossible for those Goblins to trade." Yin En suddenly interrupted.
According to the relevant settings just compiled, because the overall IQ of the Goblin family on this continent is low, the Goblin family is not classified into the orcs, but is called together with slimes and others.
Monster species.
Therefore, as monsters, the Goblins only use sticks and stones as weapons, and the iron weapons that occasionally appear in the hands of Goblins are basically the legacy of some ill-prepared adventurers, or some
Abandoned weapons left behind on the battlefield.
Therefore, in the "memories" of Liu Xing and Yin En, there is no precedent for the Goblins to make iron weapons.
When they saw this "memory", Liu Xing and Yin En became even more confused, because the difficulty of making those stolen materials was directly proportional to the preciousness of those stolen materials, so those goblins were not at all
It is possible to adopt those materials for your own use.
In addition, another major reason why the Goblin clan is classified as monsters is that although the Goblin clan is spread across the entire continent, each of their tribes has its own territory, and they do not interact with each other until death, and the mainland
All other races on the planet are in a hostile state, so it is impossible for those goblins to sell the materials.
So Liu Xing and Yin En once again felt that the materials were not stolen by goblins.
At this time, Shen Dazhuang was still unhurried and replied calmly: "Yes, logically speaking, those goblins have no reason to steal, but I heard that those goblins seem to have been controlled by others.
.”
Liu Xing and Yin En both frowned and looked at Shen Dazhuang in confusion.
"We all know that the intelligence level of goblins is very low, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, so occasionally some smart goblins will appear, and these goblins often become the leaders of their respective tribes.
These tribes will also make some abnormal behaviors, so I heard some time ago that the nearby Goblin tribe also had some abnormalities. For example, the Goblin tribe began to try to learn from us humans to grow crops and raise livestock, so
I suspect that a smart goblin also appeared in that goblin tribe." Shen Dazhuang said seriously.
Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Boss Shen, what do you mean, someone controlled the entire goblin tribe through that smart goblin, and then used this goblin tribe to steal those materials?"
Shen Dazhuang nodded and said affirmatively: "At least that's what I think, because after I discovered the tunnel today, I took people to the wasteland outside the city to check the entrance and exit of the tunnel, and found that various iron objects appeared at the entrance and exit of the tunnel.
There are traces of farm tools, which means that there must be someone behind those goblins to support them in doing this."
Now both Liu Xing and Yin En frowned.
After a while, Liu Xing sighed and said: "I see, can Boss Shen tell us where the entrance to the tunnel is? We want to go there and see the situation now."
Shen Dazhuang nodded, pointed to the east and said: "Mr. Liu Xing, you only need to go out from the east gate of Blacksmith Village, and then turn right at the first intersection. Within two hundred meters you can see a deserted farmland.
, and the tunnel entrance is very conspicuous, you should be able to see it at a glance."
As a result, Liu Xing and Yin En stood up to say goodbye and were going to see the entrance of the tunnel, while Shen Dazhuang sent Liu Xing and Yin En to the door of a blacksmith shop.
After leaving the blacksmith village, Yin En suddenly said: "Liu Xing, what do you think?"
Liu Xing shook his head and replied: "The current situation is still a bit confusing, because it cannot be ruled out that there is a blacksmith shop that is guarding and stealing, and if Bahamut's fanatic believers control the goblin tribe, then
It is indeed possible that those goblins stole the materials to delay our progress in conquering Bahamut."
"What about other than that?" Yin En continued to ask.
Liu Xing laughed, touched his chin and said: "Yin En, what you want to say is the internal situation of the Shen family, right? Judging from the current situation, if the two brothers Shen Aotian and Shen Dazhuang hadn't specially acted for us, then we can be sure that
The relationship between Shen Aotian and Shen Dazhuang is very bad. Shen Dazhuang obviously doesn't like Shen Aotian, his younger brother. Moreover, I also suspect that the reason why Shen Aotian did not inherit his father's business and work in a blacksmith shop, but went to work in an unrelated hotel is very likely.
He was suppressed from within the family."
"Heroes think alike. At the beginning, I thought Shen Aotian was a little strange. As the son of the head of the blacksmith village, he wanted to be a chef because of what he did wrong, and his family didn't stop him.
It's obviously a bit abnormal; but then again, if Shen Aotian is acting with Shen Dazhuang, then this matter will be more interesting." Yin En showed a strange smile.
Soon Liu Xing and Yin En came to the wasteland and saw the entrance of the tunnel at a glance.
After all, this wasteland was originally a farmland, so the surrounding areas were high and the middle was low. Therefore, Liu Xing and his two men saw the big hole in the center of the wasteland at a glance.
Liu Xing and Yin En came to the entrance of the tunnel and found that there were indeed many traces of the use of hoes and shovels at the entrance of the tunnel. It seemed that these goblins had indeed come with tools.
"It seems that Shen Dazhuang is right. These goblins came prepared. It seems that those goblins may have been collected by others." Yin En said seriously.
Liu Xing nodded, and just when he was about to speak, kp Husky said before him: "Now please let the two players have a hearing and judge."
Listen to judge?
Is there anyone around?
Liu Xing, 39/60, successful.
Yin En, 66/75, successful.
The moment the judgment result came out, Liu Xing heard a burst of gentle footsteps coming from around him.
"Because both players' listening decisions were successful, the Goblin's sneak attack failed." kp Husky said with a smile.
Sneak attack?!
Liu Xing and Yin En immediately stood up and checked the surrounding situation.
Then, Liu Xing and Yin En saw three goblins holding wooden sticks rushing out of the grass behind them.
Yin En immediately took out his Fangtian Painted Halberd from the void and stood decisively in front of Liu Xing.
However, although Liu Xing was assigned to the position of priest, this could not stop Liu Xing from wanting to play close combat. After all, Liu Xing already had a melee skill, and in such a close encounter, Liu Xing did not have time to fight with him.
You can be a wet nurse with peace of mind in the space.
The most important thing is that these three goblins look too weak, because they are less than one meter tall, and the wooden sticks in their hands are only as thick as a baby's fist. Liu Xing doubts that Yin En is standing there with these goblins.
Goblins fight, these goblins can't break Yin En's defense, after all, Yin En's leather armor is quite thick.
In Liu Xing's opinion, these goblins are like a group of junior high school students with no fighting ability at all.
But having said that, Liu Xing suddenly thought that the combat mechanism of Dragon Quest games is basically turn-based, which is very similar to the combat mechanism of Cthulhu Run games.
Just when Liu Xing was about to use the random cloak staff technique, Yin En took a step forward and swung the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand forward. The three sprinting Goblins were unable to evade and directly
Hit the blade.
Then, there is no more.
Looking at the three goblins split into two, Liu Xing suddenly felt like vomiting.
Because Liu Xing had been exposed to anatomy courses in college, in the previous modules, Liu Xing had no adverse reactions when seeing horrific corpses, but the impact of a live broadcast like this finally made him
Liu Xing couldn't stand it anymore.
Besides, these goblins are also humanoid creatures.
Liu Xing avoided looking and said with some complaints: "Yin En, you are too cruel."
"I'm on it, I'm dead in one stroke, there's nothing to say." Yin En said calmly.
However, when Liu Xing saw that Yin En's face was a little pale, he knew that Yin En's heart was not as calm as his tone.
Liu Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's go back quickly, lest there are any more troubles caused by goblins coming to us."
