"Is this an underground maze?" In the mind of Geron, countless stories related to the maze appeared in his mind. Among those stories, the maze is synonymous with treasures and secret treasures, and of course it is also accompanied by countless traps and deaths.

"In this matter, I need your full support. You must become the closest allies with me so that I can continue to share with you the precious information I sacrificed countless gold coins to exchange for."

Looking at Takin Hillman, whose expression suddenly became extremely serious, Goron thought for a moment and finally nodded. He also had a premonition that the secret hidden in this maze might completely change him, but it would completely change the ogre population.

*******

"You should have noticed that the environmental conditions in this mine are extremely harsh. Sometimes the temperature will suddenly fall to zero degrees, and sometimes it will become like a stove in just a few minutes. It is this alternation of cold and heat without any signs and rules, and the poisonous gas that comes out from time to time, which makes ordinary miners unable to work here at all. However, you ogres are different. Whether it is cold or hot, or a little bit of poisonous gas, for you who are extremely resistant to abnormal conditions, it will only cause some discomfort and discomfort, but there is no life danger. It is precisely because of these little ogres that my exploration of this mine has grown rapidly. Just like this cave now, it is like a natural lounge for adventurers. The ambient temperature here will not change as violently as outside. I don't know what the principle is, the air here can also be kept fresh."

"So. Have you been fighting us black-handed ogres in the morning?" Goron interrupted the Green Skin coldly. His favor for the goblin merchant was entirely based on his hope of saving the Black-handed tribe in the future, but if Takin's purpose was just to find some slaves who could explore treasures and mining for him in the haunted gold mine, then this favorable feeling could be invalidated.

"Of course not!" The goblin merchant hurriedly explained: "I initially chose to hide them here purely because ordinary people dare not come in this haunted gold mine. They will only be safe if they stay here. But you also know that I spent a lot of money to buy them~~~a big gold coins, and you don't know where to hide, whether to die or live, and when will you come to me. I can't feed them for vain all the time, it seriously undermines my principle, so it's completely reasonable to let them work for me for a while. Although I didn't pay them a salary."

Golong waved his hand and said he didn't want to continue talking about this matter. The goblin merchant continued: "Actually, after I re-established the Takin Chamber of Commerce, I have been working on this gold mine. I tried to lock some small monsters with very tenacious vitality and extremely high resistance to abnormal states in cages and put them in the gold mine cave to raise them. Later, I found that some abnormal changes had occurred on them. Some of the magic rats even successfully advanced to the first level and burned the iron cage and escaped. Although many monsters died of inexplicable diseases, most of the changes still developed in good directions, such as becoming more beautiful or smarter. After I brought these little ogres into the cave, I kept paying attention to the changes in their bodies. If there were any diseases, I would take them away immediately, but you also saw that they were all jumping around. The most important thing is that they became a little smarter than before, although they were only a little bit."

Takin's conclusion Goron cannot deny that no one knows how stupid these fat blue men are better than he has lived with the ogre for many years. In the tribe, except for the giant demons Lafana and Hakulily, no ogre can have a normal conversation with him. Including the wisest ogre prophet Lalababu, they can only express their meaning in some simple words. Moreover, the body's actions are always faster than the brain's reaction, or in other words, reason cannot restrain their bodies at all. But now, whether it is the ogre Baru who was saved by him before, or the little boys in front of him, there is almost no difference between them and human children in terms of understanding and expression. No one knows better than him, a mixed-race ogre.

When ogres possess wisdom, what other weaknesses can they have?

From this perspective, it is completely worthwhile to take the risk of some lesions to undergo the transformation of the cave. In addition, the Black Hand tribe has been essentially destroyed. Even if Geron can take these children back to the rainforest and return to the original village, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the rainforest where the strong prey on the weak. First of all, the race to which his little girlfriend belongs, the Amazon Centaur can destroy them in minutes.

Not only him, Goron, but all the alive black-handed ogres, if they remain stronger and do not fear any threat, their reputation is very bad. The countless black-handed ogres with their enemies will not have room to turn over. Only a place where no strangers do not enter a haunted gold mine can make them survive.

"So, what do you need me to do?" Goron knew that if he hadn't asked for something, the goblin merchant would never have told him the secret of the haunted gold mine.

"It's very simple. As long as you let these children seriously help me explore this cave, no one can move here for a long time except them, but you ogres have never understood what respect for employers and what serious and honest work. Before that, they have been dealing with me. Damn, their intelligence is reflected in how to fool me. I can't force them with force like other slave miners."

The green-skinned dwarf who didn't know how to observe the atmosphere around him did not notice that the little ogres around him surrounded him again, as if he was about to swallow him alive. If Ge Long had not stopped him,

"You just said that you may experience lesions when staying here for a long time. Moreover, those who have explored this maze before either go back or go crazy. I didn't pursue you before and let my tribe members live here, but now you even ask me to let them continue to work for you."

"Of course not. Those people could not tolerate the environment here before. It was normal to die, and I admit that my preparation was not sufficient, but now it is different. I have ordered a full set of top-notch maze exploration equipment, and an experienced maze exploration consultant. I will explore based on safety. Although I cannot guarantee that there will be no problems, if there are accidental casualties, I will stop the exploration immediately. You ogres robbed everywhere, and they often die."

Looking at the urgent look of the goblin merchant, it really didn't seem to be pretending. Goron finally asked the last question in his heart: "Why don't you prepare some equipment for high magic resistance and poison resistance? Although those things are more expensive, if this maze really has this value, you can never rely on us ogres. Or you can hire a regular maze exploration team, which is much better than us laymen."

"Do you think I haven't tried it?" Green skin looked depressed, then lifted his sleeves and exposed the rings of large and small fire kangs, poisonous and ice-resistant bracelets. He said, "Look at the equipment on me. It is worth hundreds of gold coins, but as soon as these magical equipment enter the cave, it is fine at the beginning and can function normally, but it won't take long to go away the magic essence inside. Look, these things can only be worn as ordinary jewelry."

The magic equipment in Tajin's hand was dull. Just like a shoddy fake, it was hard for him not to throw the garbage directly into the trash can. He could wear it openly. As a result, the rich man was not like a rich man, the nouveau rich man, but like an illegal vendor selling cheap jewelry at night markets. Even the ogre, Ge Long, felt a bit embarrassing to be with this guy.

Which of those professional maze expedition teams does not rely on a large amount of magic equipment? If this cave maze really has the effect of gradually ineffective magic equipment, ordinary explorers are afraid of it. Thinking about this, a race with an abnormal state resistance at the level of high-level monsters and also possesses wisdom, besides ogres, there is nothing else. Although it is also possible to transform into a human form of a smart dragon, Tajin cannot pay the reward that can move the smart dragon.

Although the figure of the woman he saw when he entered the hole appeared in his heart, Goron did not mention this matter. Tarkin was obviously unaware of the existence of the female ghost. For some reason, Goron always felt that he should not tell others about the female ghost. Moreover, since before he arrived, these little ogres and goblin merchants could be safe and sound, it means that this female ghost should not have it, at least there is no intention to hurt them for the time being.

It has to be admitted that before Goron rescues Rafana and Hakulily, he does need a relatively safe place like Haunted Gold Mine to protect these little ogres. They are all the Black Hand tribes and may even be the hope of the entire ogre population in the future.

In this way, the mixed-race ogre Goron Black Hand officially established a second partnership with the goblin businessman Tarkin Hillman, one side contributed people and the other side paid money for land.

Afterwards, things became simple. Under Goron's comfort, the little ogres in the cave agreed to fully cooperate with the goblin's maze exploration plan. After confirming that Goron is still alive, Green Skin also promised to further improve the living conditions of the ogres and actively proposed to pay wages. The relationship between the employer and the employer was the relationship between the employer, but any wealth and treasure obtained from the maze were divided equally between the ogres and the goblins.

"So what are you planning now?" After the wish was fulfilled, the green goblin was in a very cheerful mood now, as if he had seen the treasure of the maze in front of him. He took Golong away from the haunted gold mine, but just as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the gold mine, a series of musket bullets were loaded in front of him, and then more than a dozen cold musket muzzles were pointed at him. A rude-looking man pushed everyone away and walked up, looking down at the goblin in front of him, with a look of smug expression:

"Green-skinned rat, you didn't expect that all the waste you raised had been broken up by us. Now this gold mine, along with the ogres you hide inside, belongs to us~~~!"
