Chapter 54 Chapter 54(1/3)
For the convenience of movement, Ryan put the anti-fall trolley and the goods on it into the storage space. Blair recalled the earth tooth beast, hung a long bow on his back, and Andrew waited for Ryan on the left and right.
side of the body.
The goblins walked at the front holding torches and weapons.
I don’t know whether it was because they ate the fruit or because Bilosha led the way. After walking for a while, Ryan and the others found that the fog in the forest gradually disappeared. Although the light was still very dim, it was no longer as bright as before.
A sense of lifeless decay.
"Dear businessman, please follow me patiently. The underground city where we live is almost here."
Bilosha held a cane and let the goblin support its arm, but his movement speed was not slow.
Bilosha led a group of young goblins, led the three of Ryan into an open area deep in the forest, and finally stopped in front of an abandoned ruins.
Seeing the goblin walking in front, Blair pointed to the destroyed ruins and whispered beside Ryan: "Mr. Michel, this is the entrance to the goblin residence."
When he came here with Bernard and others before, he also entered the goblin settlement at this place.
Although goblins are short in stature, their ears are wide, thick and long, and they have extremely keen eyesight and five senses.
Even though Blair lowered his voice at this time, Bilosha could still clearly hear what he was saying.
Hearing this, Bilosha suddenly turned around and looked at Blair and Ryan. It was not angry, but said with an arrogant look on its face: "Wrong, guard, this is just one of the entrances to our goblin residence."
When Blair heard it, he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ryan didn't know why Bilosha was so proud of this. He nodded slightly and praised lazily: "Really? You guys are really awesome."
Therefore, there are three burrows for cunning rabbits, and now there are many burrows for goblins.
Bilosha seemed to be waiting for him to say this, with a bright smile on his wrinkled face, "Really, businessman, thank you for the compliment."
The abandoned ruins occupy a circular area, and there are many trees growing outside the area surrounded by stones. The trees have tall trunks, lush branches, leaves with various shapes, and a tree of green flowers in full bloom.
If it weren't for the system reminder, Ryan would never have guessed that these were actually bloodthirsty bone trees.
"Looking at it like this, it doesn't seem to be much different from an ordinary tree."
Ryan turned his head to look at the circle of trees surrounding the ruins, and said to the system in his mind: "Just hearing the names, I originally thought that their trunks were bones, the leaves were fur, and the sap and flowers were blood and flesh.
It seems I’ve thought too much.”
As expected, this person still scares himself the most.
"Don't relax too early." The system calmly replied: "Maybe they are just covered with a layer of tree bark. In fact, do they have what you said?"
"Blame me for talking too much."
Ryan kept silent and shut up. He felt that it would be too terrible if that were the case.
Bilosha was surrounded by a group of goblins and led the three of Ryan to the middle of the ruins. The little goblin who left earlier was now waiting for their arrival.
At this time, where the little goblin was, there was a tall and complete stone sculpture of a heroic goblin. Bilosha took a look in his arms and took out two small blue beads, one on the left and the other on the right.
There are empty eye sockets in the stone sculpture.
Inserting the eyeballs was like activating a program. When the stone sculpture's eyes began to rotate on their own and looked towards Bilosha, on the surface of the land in front of the stone sculpture, the originally messy stone slabs automatically split to the left and right, revealing a tunnel that went straight downwards.
Entrance.
Blair bit his lips and watched the goblin's movements. His expression began to look ugly when Bilosha took out the two beads.
When the tunnel was completely opened, Blair turned his head and looked at Bilosha and asked stiffly: "Why is the tunnel closed?"
This was the entrance that he, Bernard and others used when they entered the underground residence before. The goblins did not do this when Blair came last time. There was a tunnel directly in front of the stone sculpture for them to pass.
Bernard and the others entered through the tunnel, and Blair left the tunnel the next day. The goblins probably closed the entrance after that, and Blair was a little worried that something might happen to Bernard and the others.
"Oh, dear guard, you don't know... A very bad guy came from nowhere recently and stole many precious treasures from us goblins. For the sake of safety and to prevent disturbing the distinguished guests,
So we blocked all the entrances. When anyone wants to leave, they only need to pass a small inspection. If he is not a bad person, he can leave easily."
While answering, Bilosha looked at Blair, with a subtle smile on his face. Then he raised his head and said softly: "A loyal guard like you is a good person at first glance. We don't even need to check, and you definitely won't."
It's the bad thing."
Brereton suddenly felt like he was being used as bait. These cunning goblins must have let him go on purpose!
The little goblins held torches and weapons in their hands, and sang songs in the goblin language to welcome guests, and walked into the tunnel ahead of the three of them.
Bilosha slowly went down, most of his body was covered by the road, and only one head was exposed, looking up at Ryan and asking: "Oh, my dear Mr. Michel, why don't you come with me quickly? I can't wait any longer.
...I want to treat you with the highest etiquette among goblins."
The celestial bird hid under the hood and squeezed a small bird cake out of Ryan's shoulder. Bilosha saw it, but didn't care.
Ryan felt that it had bad intentions, so he looked at Bilosha with cold eyes, and at the same time asked in his mind and the system: "By the way, what is the highest etiquette among goblins?"
"There are two kinds."
The system calmly asked in his mind: "Do you want to hear the true highest etiquette, or the highest etiquette declared by the goblins?"
"Is there any need to ask?" Ryan snorted, "Your layout is too small. Of course I want to know both. If you are in a hurry, just tell me the key points in a simple way."
"Actually, the answers to both are pretty much the same." After hearing this, the system immediately replied concisely: "One is to treat you as a father, and the other is to support you as a father."
"Okay, I understand."
Ryan understood, "Then do they burn incense every day when they get up?"
"..."
The system was silent for a second, "It is not popular for goblins to burn incense. They will only make a false and sad prayer before throwing the corpse to the bloodthirsty bone tree."
Ryan: "Then they still have feelings for dad. Whether they cry really or fake, at least they have been sad."
"You are partly right." System: "Because they will bleed when praying in front of the bloodthirsty ancient tree, and the pain when cutting the flesh will make them sad. Their sadness comes from themselves."
Ryan: "..."
Um?
Ryan: "Anyway, looking at Bilosha's appearance, I'm afraid there are many dads out there who may have to grieve from morning till night."
System: "Absolutely. It grieves for a long time every time. Maybe Bilosha feels that he already has a lot of wrinkles on his body and doesn't like scars. Every time he bleeds, he re-opens his own healed wound."
Ryan: "..."
Oh, it hurts to death just thinking about it.
"It's a ruthless gnome. It has the potential to achieve great things."
Ryan communicated with the system in his mind, then followed Bilosha and walked generously into the dimly lit tunnel entrance.
Andrew followed closely behind Ryan, and Blair's eyes were full of regret. He was worried that he had been fooled and harmed Lord Ryan.
But if he wants to stop him now, Blair is somewhat unable to do so. He can only hope that Ryan and Andrew can successfully rescue Bernard and his companions, and he can accept the punishment afterwards.
The little goblins hummed songs and walked on both sides of the tunnel, with Bilosha and Ryan in the middle.
The goblins built an underground residence underground, and the entrance of the tunnel was connected downwards by an extremely long rock passage.
The passage should have been dug using magic. The sides were flat and solid. The light was dim when they first entered the tunnel. After Ryan and the others walked about ten meters, fire lamps and magic lamps began to appear on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.
The fire lamp burned the animal's fat and skin, emitting a hot and dazzling light, but the smell was a bit unpleasant. The orange light illuminated the path of the tunnel, and at a glance, there was a corner at the end.
On the wall is the prototype of the goblin mural, with only a shallow base.
Ryan looked at the stone walls on the left and right with interest, thinking about how the goblins did it. After a while, he quietly asked the system in his mind: "Commander, has the entrance been closed?"
"Not yet." The system replied in his mind: "Only high-status goblins can touch those two eyes."
Ryan pretended to be tired, lowered his head dejectedly and continued to ask: "Is there any restriction on the eyeballs?"
"No."
The system emphasized, "Only high-status goblins can touch it."
Ryan thought thoughtfully, "Is it a goblin, or is it enough to have the appearance of a goblin?"
The system explained in a low voice: "As long as it is a creature with the appearance of a goblin, it can be used, but the lower goblin is not qualified to touch it, otherwise it will be severely punished."
"I understand, are there any goblins guarding the entrance now?"
Ryan left a shallow spiritual mark on the ground so that he could teleport.
System: "There are no goblins guarding there at the moment."
"Okay, now I want to spend money to buy a scroll of clone and transformation." Ryan: "Dear everyone, do you understand what I mean?"
"Got it."
System: "Thanks to 5 gold coins, I guarantee that the mission will be successful."
"You can just buckle it."
Ryan reached out and touched the space ring.
Although 5 gold coins were a bit expensive, he could afford it, and those two beads seemed quite valuable. Ryan felt that he would not lose anything.
Seeing Ryan's actions, Bilosha immediately turned his head and looked at him.
Ryan took out a few fruit candies and said to the system in his mind: "Remember to send those two beads to my space ring later."
Bilosha's eyes turned red when she looked at the beautiful candy in Ryan's hand, which was brightly colored and stained with a layer of sugar.
System: "ok."
Ryan gave one candy to each of Andrew and Blair. Andrew took it and put it in his mouth. Blair looked guilty.
Bilosha, who was always observing Ryan's facial expressions, secretly licked his lower lips and showed the intimacy of recognizing his father. Looking at Ryan, he suddenly asked: "Oh, my dear friend, Mr. Michel, what do you think of us?"
How is the construction here?"
It just wants to find a topic and ask about the beautiful candy in Ryan's hand.
