Chapter 46 The Kobold
Wearing Elta's three-type helmet and an ordinary coat, Chen Nuo and the others pulled the cart and slowly passed the closed door north of Senta. The three mule carts were rented by Chen Nuo and the others, because they could not afford three mules.
Of course, if the donkey dies, they will have to compensate a lot of money, so the group will definitely take good care of the three donkeys. In Ma Liu's words, it is probably not that good for his parents. As for why they are not Chen Nuo and their parents, because Ma Liu knew that this was a reverse scale for the orphans.
"This is too dark! They do nothing, but if we get the ore, we will pay half of it!" Luo Chong said a little angrily.
"Who made this their territory? In a sense, all the animals and even plants in this area belong to the city lord!" Chen Nuo sighed helplessly. The Elta world was a bit similar to the medieval lord system. However, the lord's power was not that great, and when all the great power belonged to him, if the lord had no strength, it would probably not be able to suppress the monsters around him.
Where does the lord's strength come from? Apart from himself, it is naturally the army. What does the army need? Weapons and equipment. Without consuming its own strength, if enough ore can be obtained, then the lord of Senta City will naturally not mind placing heavy taxes on adventurers heading to the lord's territory.
"Lord who wants money!" Fatty Li muttered with resentment, and then pushed the shield on his back. This was the expense of the funds behind them, and cleaned up a batch of inventory garbage from the dwarf copper slag. Iron round shield, short-handled wolf teeth hammer, etc. Of course, the quality cannot be too high, it can only be said to be iron products.
Of course, Chen Nuo and the others got more shields, and a little rusty little round shield is considered a better thing. Although it is also a mass-produced product of hydraulic forging and pressing, it is better because it is cheaper to provide a certain amount of defense.
Chen Nuo and the others now look like senior adventurers, but they know very well that in the eyes of Senta's soldiers and even in the eyes of most merchants, they are outsiders who are moving wallets and are responsible for transferring money from this pocket to another pocket. They are also cannon fodder for cleaning up garbage, goblins' complete elimination tools, etc.
"These outsiders have set their sights on the kowtows so quickly?" Leser stood on the city wall and watched the mule cart slowly leave.
"It is said that they sold some commodity called engines from the outside world to Old Jack! Now the city lord's wife is trying to study it." Eiger whispered on Leser. "They bought some helmets and shields after taking the money! Perhaps in the hope of getting some raw havata steel in the hands of the dog-headed man."
"I hope they can come back alive! Otherwise, the goblins in the wilderness would not have enough cannon fodder to clean up!" Leser sighed. He was not taking care of Chen Nuo and the others, but that once Chen Nuo and the others died, there would be no such easy cannon fodder.
"It should be no problem! I have checked their killing of Goblin's corpses, which are more experienced than our soldiers. Some of the outsiders' words are actually correct. The outside world also has monster invasions and wars." Eiger said in a low voice.
"But at least safer than Elta now! Remember to keep your mouth in mind and try not to reveal it, especially for those outsiders!" Leser suddenly turned his head and said loudly to Eiger, but they were probably the only thing they discussed was that they knew what it was.
"I know you have a good impression of outsiders! But remember! Eiger Pierce, don't reveal it! Otherwise, I will twist your head off and throw that Japanese woman and the daughter she gave birth to you into the goblin's nest. Remember?" Leser's words were full of threats, which made Eiger quickly lower his head.
"Zo...Zo order!" Egg replied with fear.
"Take people on patrol!" Leser did not continue to care about his servants, and then glanced at the team that was about to leave his sight in the distance.
Of course, Chen Nuo and the others would not know what happened on the city wall behind. The group moved very quickly because the area of the kobold was far away. Of course, they had to fight against the incoming goblin gangs on the way, which was smaller than the number of goblins on the other direction, but it was also more troublesome.
The most terrible thing is that they have to protect the mules. Even if their eyes are covered with cloth, they can only be led away, but they are still afraid when they hear the goblins shouting.
Fortunately, as they gradually stepped into the territory of the Dogkows, the Goblin bandits attacked less. At the same time, the surrounding vegetation was also much less, and the place in the distance that was pitch black like a crater was the Dogkows' mine.
"So what those kobolds dig out is actually a huge meteorite? Is Havata steel actually meteorite iron?" Chen Nuo felt that he had already known some truth.
"But such a large crater, the impact force may not make the entire Senta be destroyed, right?" Shen Rong looked at the edge of the crater, which was basically the same as the crater on the moon. A circular crater with a diameter of at least three or four kilometers is three or four hundred meters high at the edge of the crater, while the huge meteorite in the middle is almost nearly seven or eight hundred meters high. Some kobolds waving their tools to dig there.
"By the way, we should actually get the tools in the hands of the dog-headed man! That thing can even dig meteorites, which must be very advanced!" Fatty Li looked at the mine pit in the distance, and then suddenly there was an IQ that was enough to make people like thirty-two praises and said a very good thing.
"But it seems that we can only attack some lonely dog-headed people on the periphery. If we really go deep into the mine, we may not know how we will die!" Shen Rong looked at the densely packed dog-headed people around the meteorite. He finally understood why the lord of Senta knew that there was a large amount of Havata steel produced here, but did not put this territory under control.
It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s really impossible! Because the dog-headed guys I saw were more than 3,000, densely swaying around and patrolling, especially the entire team of fully equipped elite dog-headed guys in the distance. No matter how physically they look, they will activate their bloodlines and become the role of senior combat members.
"So what should we do now?" Originally they thought the mine in the north was a small cave, but now it seems that this tmd is a cave.
"By the way, Instructor Wang is, he doesn't even tell us what's going on here." Cheng Kai said with a little complaining.
"Probably most people don't know the real situation of the mine. Those who know will not say it, and those who don't know will never know it." Chen Nuo looked at the dog-headed people, especially the dog-headed people who transport ores, and shook his head. It was difficult to deal with such a dense number.
"Does Instructor Wang know?" Fatty Li asked in a low voice.
"Guess!" This is the answer of Chen Nuo and Shen Rong. They probably knew Wang Zheng, but he did not say it on purpose. As for the reason, Chen Nuo could probably guess, but he would not tell others, because this would aggravate their distrust of Wang Zheng.
"What should I do now?" This is a question mark that surrounds everyone's hearts. After all, there are more than 3,000 kobolds active on the surface just on the ground. Including the area below, there are at least 5,000 kobolds in this area.
"Fortunately, these kowtowers like to dig things! And their social structure is very complete, otherwise Senta would have to face the harassment of a large tribe of more than 5,000 kowtowers every day." Chen Nuo looked at the kowtowers with Chen Rong's telescope.
Around the meteorites in the distance, he saw the livestock-raising places opened by the dog-killer, and of course a large area of planting land.
"In a sense, this large tribe of the dog-headed people has changed from a nomadic civilization to an agricultural civilization." Chen Rong took back his telescope and took a careful look.
"Because they can't rob enough food from Senta, if they don't plough, they won't eat enough! If they don't eat enough, they will naturally have no strength to dig! So they stole some crops and tried to plough them, and then they succeeded. Even the mutated crops because of the radiation, the kogman after eating also changed." This was the conclusion that Chen Nuo and his friends came to after observing for more than two hours.
"So we have to face a common dog knot that may not be three thousand! Well, it may be five thousand or six thousand, but the number of mutant dog knots that remain unchanged, but the strength is stronger?" This was said by Fatty Li, but it was also a very sad answer that was pressed on everyone's hearts.
"I actually think it's a good idea to pay back the money with the goblin's head and save money slowly." Cheng Kai said in a low voice, because according to Fatty Li's words, the current kobold is too dangerous.
"Try it first! We camped far away from the kowtowers. Anyway, it's not far away from the evening. Those kowtowers will definitely go to rest in the evening. At that time, I will go to sneak attack and test if I can kill a few kowtowers and grab some ore." Chen Nuo frowned and thought of an idea. He didn't want to go back in shame.
"How can this be! It's too dangerous!" Everyone opposed this, except Ma Liu and the others. They were very Meiji curled up next to the mule cart and ready to run away in the mule cart at any time.
"That's it! Find a place to settle the camp first! Remember to tie the mule firmly. I don't want to get up in the middle of the night to find a mule!" Chen Nuo made a tough decision in an undeniable tone.
After Chen Nuo made the decision, they began to choose camps. Of course, it was actually easy to find camps in this area, but not easy to do. Because good places are basically occupied by wild creatures, and all they need to do is kill the monsters and then occupy the territory.
So after some search, Chen Nuo and his team successfully found a group of goblin territory, a small group of hundreds of goblins. It occupies a huge rock platform, and under the rock is the place where the small group survives.
Judging from the shape of the rock, it is probably the shock wave formed by the falling meteorite that crashes it from the strata, forming one shape after another. At the same time, the magma that gushed out of the strata forms a circle of solid and weird basalt under the rock. This layer of basalt supports the huge rock above to prevent it from falling, and also forms a natural fortress.
"This is really a good place!" In a sense, this natural fortress is really good. The original intention of natural basalt defense is that there is nothing wrong with the poor light and the smell inside is a bit bad. Chen Nuo and the others even found a natural reservoir inside, but the color is a bit green.
"But it was ruined by those goblins! It's so stinky!" Luo Chong's words basically represent the voice of others. What kind of good place would a small goblin tribe live in? No! The ground is full of dirty flies, and there are disgusting excrement everywhere. At the same time, some bones can be found. Some people, some animals, and even some goblins own.
Chen Nuo and the others gathered most of the garbage together and then drained all the water in the pool. Because no one would drink the green water with excrement floating on it, and even the orphans who had very strong tolerance during the drainage process could not help but vomit.
In the end, Ma Liu and the others thought the same, that is, even the sewers in Lin'an Mansion are cleaner than this green pool.
