"Finally, we killed this big evil guy." After everyone chopped off the ogre's head, the priest of the Agricultural Church swept his eyes over everyone's faces one by one. "Let's clean up this place.
"
After that, the priest and the warrior stayed beside the ogre's body outside the tribe to check it, while Lawrence and the other two people walked towards the center of the tribe, and on the way they picked up the things he had dropped before to release the magic.
of water pipes.
After seeing the ogres being killed by outsiders, the remaining goblins were so frightened that they lost their minds. They tried to leave this place that was like hell in their eyes. Unfortunately, when Lawrence and the others entered the tribe just now, all the goblins who could move bravely.
They resisted and were beaten to death by them. The remaining guys couldn't even stand up and could only watch as Lawrence and his group easily waved their weapons and killed them one by one.
After clearing out all the living goblins in the tribe, Lawrence and the others began to inspect the entire tribe and try to collect loot.
But just as the Agricultural Church priest who led the team judged, this group of goblins was just a ragtag group of people. They had almost nothing except weapons and equipment that could not even be sold for scrap metal. After searching for a long time, they found out
There were dozens of silver and copper coins that the goblins carried as decoration, adding up to a total of 7 yuan, 12 and 3/4 cents.
"It feels like a big loss." The magic gunner muttered in a low voice. Of course Lawrence could understand why he said that. If this was the only gain, he wouldn't even be able to get back the money for the few rounds of enchanted bullets he fired.
"Don't be discouraged, let me look for it again." Lawrence said and used [Detection Magic], and soon they discovered that the aura of magic was revealed in the ruins of the house where the ogre rushed out just now.
"There -" Lawrence and the others came to the location where the magical aura was emitting from the ruins. After digging out some gravel and wood, a three-dimensional goblin corpse appeared in front of them.
This is an old goblin that looks as wrinkled as a dehydrated apple. You must know that there are no old goblins in normal goblin tribes. They will expel or even kill all old goblins.
There is only one type of elderly goblin that can appear in the center of such a tribe, and that is the goblin shaman. However, the goblin shaman in front of him is not a normal goblin shaman: it has obviously been subject to some kind of curse magic.
The attack caused the entire body to exude a rotten aura, while shrinking to only half the size of an ordinary goblin.
"Before we came here, this shaman should have been lying here unable to move. Maybe he didn't even have consciousness." After briefly inspecting the body that was basically photographed by the remains of the house, Lawrence made this decision
A simple inference. "Due to the curse, the body of the goblin shaman, who is more fragile than ordinary goblins, was so fragile that he died directly after eating wild boar mixed with anesthetics, and was then crushed by the collapsed house."
"We are so lucky." The ranger shrugged and said. "If that big guy had added a shaman, we would never have been able to end the battle as safely as we did just now. A fully armed cannibal.
The difficulty of dealing with a demon and an ogre supported by shaman spells is definitely not at the same level."
"Look at this." Lawrence took off a silver flower brooch inlaid with amethyst from the goblin shaman's body. "This is a magic prop, and I swear it is 100% not made by goblins."
"You are right. It is obvious that this treasure has the style of the dark elves in the Underdark." The magic gunner who was a former soldier said, "The army I served in was in the large mountain range to the west. Sometimes it would
There are some dark elves running out of the mountains, and I have seen a lot of things of this style from them."
"And this thing is quite valuable." After releasing an [Identification Technique] on the brooch, Lawrence said to the two people with a smile, "This brooch can release detection poison three times a day. In addition, it can also release
An antidote."
"It's quite suitable for those dark-skinned people." The ranger shrugged, "I heard that the dark elves underground are in constant struggle. For them, this kind of tool that can detect toxins and detoxify them should be
Very practical.”
After checking the remains of the large room again, the ranger found a wooden box with iron hoops under a tree stump in the room that might have been used as a stool. It contained a variety of metal products, including old and new.
Currency of different styles and some jewelry stained with dark red blood.
At this time, Lawrence checked the soul power absorbed by Bai Ze Xuying in his mind. Since this absorption is limited in scope and time, many souls were not absorbed, such as the soul of the shaman. Fortunately, he
Successfully harvested the souls of the ogre and more than 20 goblins.
After packing up the trophies, Lawrence and the others returned to the outskirts of the tribe. At this time, the priest and the warrior also cleared away the escaping goblins outside and studied the body of the ogre.
"This is a senior ogre warrior from the Central Mountains." As Lawrence and the others walked over, they heard the warrior pointing at the ogre head that had just been pulled out of the helmet and saying, "Look at its cheeks.
This brand of swords and skulls is the top samurai of the Blood Knife Club who has been attacking the settlements around us."
"Yes, you are right." The priest looked at the two brands and nodded. "But if I remember correctly, they were detected in advance by an airship when they left the mountains to rob two months ago. As a result,
They were ambushed by the military on the road. The main force of the entire tribe was completely dispersed, and even the dragon-veined kobold who was the chief of the tribe was killed."
"But the military failed to completely eradicate these evil guys. The tribe we see now should be part of the group that was broken up at that time." Lawrence stepped forward and said, "It is obvious that there are shamans and high-level warriors leading the tribe.
Finally, they successfully organized themselves and found an entrance to the underground world to escape the military's pursuit. Then they found a nearby exit and crawled out."
After saying that, he motioned to the ranger to open the box containing the jewelry. "We searched for these jewelry in the tribe. Through inspection, I found that the stamps on these jewelry showed that most of them came from the Blue Mountain State in the west.
silversmiths and jewelers, and the Central Range is right here in the Blue Mountains State.”
"That is to say, there is probably an underground route that can extend from the central mountains of Blue Mountain State hundreds of kilometers away to here." The priest of the Agricultural Church pursed his lips hard. "But we still need enough evidence to prove this.
everything."
The next step was to search the surroundings with this tribe as the center. Fortunately, there were no dangerous creatures around because of the existence of the goblin tribe, and those guys had just come over and did not cover their whereabouts. So just ten minutes later, the ranger
Following the traces left by the tribe, they found a huge cave covered by vines on a hill less than 1,000 meters away from the tribe.
After knelt down and praying with clasped hands in front of the cave entrance, the leading priest of the Agricultural Church confirmed that this was indeed the entrance to the Underdark. They took out a map and marked the location of the cave entrance, and Lawrence and the others returned to the location of the tribe and used the shack.
The dried vines and wood were used as fuel to burn the corpses of the monsters in this clearing.
As a result, they were busy until sunset, before Lawrence and the other five made a final check to make sure there was no fire left before leaving the forest.
When they returned to the road they started from, some local planters and workers holding firearms were there to greet them, and at their feet were the bodies of the two goblin patrols that had just escaped.
"We have cleared out the goblin tribe hiding in this forest." The priest of the Agricultural Church said, raising the head of the ogre. "Soon, the peace of the past will be restored here."
