Chapter 188 The Goblin of Emerald Castle
The Redstone Mountain where the United Principality of Redstone is located was originally located in the east-central part of the mainland, with the Kingdom of Sachdon to the east, the Principality of Norton to the south, the mountains of Alanis to the north, and the endless Weeping Sand Sea to the west.

The area of ​​the mountains is very vast, but except for a few oases, the other places are dark red rugged mountains, and the vitality is as barren as the Gobi wasteland.

It is said that in the first era, this place was still an ordinary plain.The magic empire collapsed in the first era, and the god of red dragon, Cargonum, fell here. His corpse turned into endless mountains, and the dark red color was like dragon blood, which had not faded for tens of thousands of years.

For the remainder of the First Era, it remained off limits, and the Second Era became a paradise for adventurers.Humans, dragonmen, half-elves, dwarves, halflings, goblins, half-orcs and even centaurs, adventurers of various races and occupations pan for gold here, gradually gathering forces.

After a long change across the epochs, now there are only seven duchies in Hongshishan, united into one country, and the local residents are only humans, halflings and goblins.

Emerald Castle is the capital of the United Principality of Redstone. It is located in an oasis to the west of the Redstone Mountain, and it is jointly managed by seven grand dukes.

Four halfling teenagers and two human girls debated for a while outside the gate of Emerald Castle, and finally decided to give up going to the city to find the teleportation service provided by the Temple of Commerce, but went to the market outside the city to see if there were any goblins hot air balloon flight.

To go to the Kingdom of Kester, one has to cross the vast sea of ​​weeping sand, which cannot be done with two or even four legs.

The hot air balloon flight is the only thing that makes other races have a positive impression of goblins. As one of the few goblin-inhabited areas in the mainland, Hongshishanyuan has such a transportation service.

"Never talk to those little green skins!"

In the bazaar surrounded by messy tents and buildings, the two maiden paladins looked around like bumpkins who had entered the city of Erxiang. Their eyes were dizzy, and Frodo hurriedly reminded them.

"Like the roast camel beef over there," Sam said in a terrified tone, "don't listen to that goblin calling for twenty coppers, as soon as you talk to him, he'll cut off a small piece and say it's twenty coppers One piece, and then cut that piece into dozens of pieces thinner than a fly's wing. If you don't dare to buy it, all the goblins will surround you..."

"Excellent knife skills", the black-haired girl Mayne expressed her digression, then spread her hands and said, "We don't have a single coin on us."

"Be careful when encountering halflings," Gomis said. "The halfling thieves here are very powerful. They won't attack other halflings. People like you are the most obvious targets."

"This is troublesome. How can I be sure that it's not you but thieves who came here? It's still hard for me to distinguish you." Mayne said, "But it's okay, I don't have any coppers or valuables on me. The only one The most valuable thing is this rhinoceros leather belt. If it is stolen, my ass will be exposed, and then they will be scared to roll on the ground."

On the way to Emerald Castle, the human girl finally understood halflings' aesthetics.Although Mayne found fabric to mend the trouser legs, he used it to make fun of the halfling from time to time.I don't know if it's a real joke, or an unwilling mockery.

As before, the halfling teenagers showed disgusted expressions.

Glonia said helplessly: "Mayne! You, can you be a little bit ladylike?"

As they talked, they had entered the depths of the market.

In front of every tent and hut in this area, there is a goblin shorter than a halfling, covered in green, with a pair of pointed ears and a big head, standing on boxes of all sizes, with a shrill voice, Shouting one after another.

"Magic gun! Fini magic gun, yours and mine! The exclusive version for the Shenmeng army will arrive soon! You can own it for 49 gold bushes, which is twice as powerful as the standard version! Make an appointment to buy a free Lei Mulin monkey leather holster!"

"When choosing a magic gun, you must choose one with core technology! The angel's light from the Storm Islands is Queen Theresia's secret weapon! Don't be fooled by the phantom advertisement, it's to scare you. Really defeat Youxiang This is the kind of weapon the army has! You get what you pay for, and how can a standard version of thirty gold bushels compare with something of eighty-eight gold bushels? Look at the quantity! Look at the workmanship!"

"Aren't you afraid of being despised and ridiculed when you go out with mass-produced goods? The magic gun of the Batembe Domas Royal Workshop makes you so beautiful that you don't fit in! This is a weapon that only perfectionists are qualified to have! Its beauty is Enough to kill your enemies!"

Gronia sighed sadly: "Are magic guns so popular?"

"Your Highness, without the magic gun, we can't save you," Gomis said in a sarcastic tone.

Gronia stopped so suddenly that Gomis jumped behind Frodo in terror, and saw that she was staring blankly at something before her.

It was an unrolled scroll of illusion, twice the size of Gomis's. It was hung on a tent, and a large group of people crowded under it, all with their heads up and their feet on their feet, looking straight in the eyes.

The scroll was covered with a layer of veil, which made the image very unclear, but whether it was Gronia or the halflings, they could all tell that it was "Teresia and Freya".

The goblin merchant screamed: "Ten golden bushels for the book of illusions! Twenty golden bushels for the scroll of illusions! There are all kinds of illusion chips, and three golden bushels for "Teresia and Freya!" Two golden bushels for Gone with the Wind, Queen Elizabeth, and Silk Partacus! The price of various elegant art fantasy dramas of "The Pink Book" and "Book of Joy" is negotiable! "Adventurer's Guide", "Omniscience" The latest issue of "Newsletter" and "Trade Wind News" has arrived!"

"Gronia", Meen pulled away the dazed red-haired girl: "This is a lie, we know it."

Gomis yelled heartbroken: "Remember to pay me the scroll!"

No sooner had I squeezed through the crowd than the audience chanted "Queen" and "Pull it off," followed by roars and fights, and the screams of the goblin merchants.

Just now it seems that the scene where Princess Freya and the Queen hold hands and look at each other is the only scene in the whole fantasy drama where the Queen shows a clear side face.

Coming to the back of the market, it is much more spacious, and finally there are a few decent buildings.

There are still goblins soliciting business in front of each building, and the content of shouting has become jobs such as immigrants, apprentices, and magicians.Basically, they went to the countries in the east such as Sachdon, Tangus, and Hadron.

"Don't be a good adventurer, but go to be a slave in the magic workshop." Mayne said contemptuously: "Only a few silver pennies a month, what kind of life can you live?"

These words spoke the halfling's heart, and everyone's perception of her was a little better.

A goblin with sharp ears nearby heard it, and grinned and said, "Miss human with black hair, you are right! Being an apprentice or a magician is only enough to eat, and you have to earn a lot of money and stand out. You have to join Queen Theresia's Northern Expedition Army! Our mercenary group is recruiting professionals, I think you look like... a monk? The monthly salary of an apprentice is one golden bush! Three for the first level! Hey! Then Halfling kid over there!"

The goblin jumped out of the box and circled Frodo and the others: "Don't waste your talents! An epic holy war is waiting for you! Think about it, which adventure poem is less than you halflings? Join the Queen Isn't it the best chance to change a life and become a great person who is celebrated in the Holy War of the Holy War?"

"Yeah," Pique muttered longingly, and Gomis nodded.

Frodo's eyes were also shining, but he shook his head immediately: "We have a commission."

"Hey! This is the guard we hired!"

Mayne folded his hips and said, "Also, I'm a paladin, do you really want to recruit me?"

"whispering sound……"

The goblin smacked his nose, muttering as if he had been suffocated by some stench, and left.

"There!"

Pointing to a building in the distance, Gomis said a sign next to the door showed a bunch of round balloons.

There is a table by the door, and a goblin wearing glasses is writing and drawing.

This goblin is much more refined than other goblins: "The flight to the Kingdom of Kester is still four hours away, and there are seats...well, there are still."

In one respect, however, there was no essential difference: "Thirty gold bushels per seat, meals not included."

"Thirty!?"

Gomis jumps: "I remember only three last year!"

"That was last year..."

The goblin raised his glasses and said calmly: "It's a time of war, and the bishops of Youxiang have issued an air ban. Flying over the Weeping Sand Sea is very risky."

"Thirty is fine." Mayne stood in front of the table: "When we arrive at the Kingdom of Kester, the paladin order there will pay you. I swear in the name of Longde."

"Paladin? From outside?"

The goblin shrugged: "Even if it's a paladin..."

Before he finished speaking, the goblin's eyes fell on Mayne's legs, and his Adam's apple twitched.

Although the trouser legs were mended with rags, they were still tattered, and Mayne's slender, straight, white and crystal-clear legs were clearly visible.

The goblin's temperament changed dramatically in an instant. Even through the glasses, it couldn't stop the greed and lust in those small eyes, and the saliva dripped from the corner of its mouth onto the table.

"Legs...beautiful legs..."

The goblin rubbed his hands, and flicked his thick tongue out of his mouth: "Lick, lick, one, one golden bush..."

Pong...

Mayne swung his long legs, hit the back of the goblin's head with his heel, and stepped his head on the table.

The black-haired girl said angrily: "Do you want to die that much? Little green skin?"

Frodo and the others turned aside, trying to rub their chests so as not to vomit.

"Maine..."

Glonia was at a loss as to what to do when there was a noise next to her.

"The price of dragon's blood sand from the sand diggers is four silver pennies a bag, and you sell it for four gold bushels! You are committing an unforgivable crime!"

"Miss Paladin, we are not sand diggers. Doesn't it cost money to transport these goods from Dragon Blood Mountain to Emerald Castle?"

"You don't have a clear account of how much money you spent!? I absolutely don't believe that the price can increase tenfold just by shipping something!"

"Of course we have accounts, but we are not obliged to show you! As for the increase, we are businessmen, don't businessmen make money?"

"Of course not! Just like paladins should do good deeds for free, businessmen should contribute to everyone! This world can only be better if everyone helps each other! Any businessman who wants to make money is polluting the world, yes The object that the paladins must attack!"

"Miss Paladin, can I stop doing your business?"

"The blade of evil has been inserted into the conscience, do you think pulling it out means nothing happened?"

"Someone is coming! Help—!"

With a loud bang, a goblin Gululu rolled out from the next room, and then a young girl came out.

About the same age as Gloria and Maine, her long purple hair was tied into a side ponytail, and her round face was still sweet and cute even though she was frowning.

"You are defying the principles of my paladin! Justice must be served on you!"

The girl pulled out the long sword behind her back, and the tip of the sword rested on the goblin's face.

"Mohamona! Help me!"

The goblin called for help to the goblin whose head was still at Mayne's feet.

The goblin said with difficulty with a distorted mouth: "Dali Daqi, although you have just arrived, you should have heard of the name Nicole-Ector, and you know what to do."

"Ah! It's her! No..."

The goblin shivered: "It's you!"

The girl with the slanted ponytail frowned: "What, am I famous?"

"Our shipping fee is XX gold bushels per thousand bags, loss is XX percent, plus market tax XX, employee wages XX, house depreciation, risk reserve, etc. Seventeen fixed expenses... Ector That's seven pennies a bag, madam!"

The goblin named Dali Daqi proficiently reported a bunch of numbers, and then shouted: "Without the conscience compensation of one silver penny per bag, the price of justice is six silver pennies!"

"If you know a mistake, correct it, that's right." The girl with a slanted ponytail moved the tip of her sword: "50.00%, almost, I heard the response of justice, and sent a hundred bags directly to the hot air balloon."

The goblin hurriedly responded: "I will definitely handle it, Miss Hector!"

Dalidaqi fled back to the house like a gallop, and the girl looked at Gloria and the others.

She frowned, "Paladin?"

Gronia also showed a dignified look: "Paladin?"
