Anyway, the underground creatures in this dungeon have a unique attitude towards humans.In the past, the underground creatures thought it was food when they saw humans, and their attitudes naturally went without saying, but the monsters here saw that although humans were surprised and wary, they did not show any particularly obvious hostility.I don't know if the name of the Supreme Mage is more useful, or if the goblin didn't understand what the word meant, he walked around the two of them a few times on his short legs, as if he didn't see any threat, and then led the way."
I can only take you outside the city lord's palace, but if the city lord can't see you, I can't say it."
The goblins' legs are too short to walk like crazy, but the roads in this dungeon are very flat, like they can pass through vehicles.Su Ming was noncommittal about this, and motioned for Xiaoka to follow the goblin together, the other party walked four or five steps, and the human almost needed to take one step, so the two of them had time to observe the surroundings.Whether it was farmland or housing on the roadside, there were always underground creatures who cast curious glances at the two of them, just curious, as if they didn't know that humans could eat them.And the two of them also saw a small number of hellish creatures here, but the fire demons who belonged to the elite warrior class in hell were selling roasted mushrooms on the roadside at this time, and the snake demons with six-handed snake tails were also considered powerful demons, but they were picking dung and farming here.How to say it, it can only be said to be weird, because these demons have no reaction to humans, as if they have seen through the red dust.Could it be that the city looks steampunk on the surface, but in fact it is an underground Buddhist country?
The monsters living here are too orderly and too Buddhist, right?
Goblins make up a large proportion of the urban population, and these little short-legged creatures can be seen everywhere, all dressed in human-like clothes, but looking at the oil stains on their bodies and the various tools they hold in their hands, they should belong to the working class.They work in factories with large chimneys, and when you pass by the door, you can hear the sound of ping-pong banging inside.The street lights in the dungeon are all on, indicating that there is electricity.And there is also a small platform for free drinking water on the side of the road, which looks the same as the one in the human park, indicating that they have running water.These underground creatures seem to be copying the trajectory of human society, but the tech tree has a lot of traces of steam power.Watching a steam car drive by, Su Ming carefully observed its production process, I have to say that the goblin technology is still shocking, although all parts of the broken car, including the horn, are clanging, and the boiler emitting white smoke on the car is more like a big bomb, but this car can run."
What do these factories produce?"
He asked the goblin who led the way, pointing to a family-style industrial area along the road.The goblin quickly tossed his two little short legs, and raised his hand to wipe his sweat: "Do everything, we can also make our own daily necessities that you humans have, and at the same time, we also do business with some underground chambers of commerce, such as this factory, which produces steam flashlights, and sells them to other dungeons in exchange for a lot of food."
You said you were here to talk about conditions or something, so you probably want to do business, right?
”"That's true, but the steam flashlight?"
The expression on Su Ming's face was very strange, what the hell was that?
The goblin who led the way loosened his bow tie, and a proud smile appeared on his green face: "How's it going?"
I tell you secretly, if you want to do trade between dungeons, and have enough capital and self-protection ability, then buy steam wine from us and sell it elsewhere to make a lot of money. ”Su Ming shrugged his shoulders, he only knew that the kobolds of Azeroth had the black technology of mushroom brewing, but he didn't expect that the underground creatures here also had them.It is said that it is steam wine, which is probably something between human sparkling wine and carbonated drinks, but when he saw the cultivation environment of these mushrooms, he thought that it would be better not to buy this wine."
What do you want from humans if you do business?"
Su Ming took a step closer to the goblin, looking down at the hair on the top of its head like sparse dead grass.The goblin thought for a moment and replied seriously: "Knowledge, fuel, and surface ingredients are all fine, although the use of biogas saves us a lot of coal and oil, but after all, the combustion efficiency of biogas is still low." ”"Where did you learn this English?
And these scientific terms. ”Encountering a goblin on the road was so knowledgeable, Su Ming thought it was very interesting.The goblin shrugged his shoulders and mimicked the expression of a human in a handshake, which he had learned from the book: "Some human juveniles like to exchange books of knowledge with us for toys, and occasionally we will leave the city and set up a stall in your human sewer drains, beckoning children to come and trade. ”Su Ming pursed his lips and imagined that kind of scene.When a child comes home from school, in a sparsely populated alley, there is a sudden sound of laughter behind a fence on the side of the road that drains the rain, and a little green hand holding a balloon is stretched out, beckoning the child to make a deal in sewer English, which is like a horror movie scene.Well, anyway, Su Ming has long known why there are fewer people in the United States, because they don't dare to play something.The bear child is a bold representative, and it is not impossible to trade with underground creatures, and if you can exchange a few books for a bicycle with a chic shape, this temptation is simply irresistible.It's just that the textbook has been changed to the car, and the child is afraid of being mixed doubles when he goes home.Knell and the goblins chatted all the way, and Casillas listened blankly, wondering how the creatures of hell here came to be, and why they didn't act demonic at all.Before he could notice anything more, the goblin led the two to a gate that looked like it was embedded in the rock wall, antique, or at least centuries old.Well, at first glance, you can tell that it was dismantled from an ancient castle somewhere and reused, because the style doesn't match the surroundings at all."
Behind this door is the city lord's mansion, the city lord's family is a succubus, and they love to be clean, so they don't usually come out much."
The goblin pointed to the gate, and exchanged a few words with the guards guarding the gate in a language they didn't understand.The guard looked like a troll, no less than four meters tall, with fangs like wild boars in his mouth.The guard's English is even worse, its sewer English still smells of curry, Su Ming only understands it through the goblin translation, and the troll is going to go in and report it, so that the two of them can wait.The goblin hadn't gone yet, it looked at Deathknell with a blank eye, and rubbed its fingers in embarrassment.Understood, this is to lead the way, and this goblin is the legendary leading party.Before the advent of taxis in human society, there were also many people who took leading the way as their profession, generally speaking, children or the elderly, after all, the threshold for this line of work is not high.Even today in 1980, there is still a tradition of using child labor in the UK, where children lead the way or clean the chimney to subsidize the family, and there are not a few children who suffocate in the chimney every year.After hearing a lot of news from the goblin, Su Ming was also in a good mood, and took out two bags of spicy strips from his waist bag to pay for the expenses.Most of the time the food is hard currency, not to mention that chili peppers cannot be grown underground, and after explaining to the goblin that the plastic bag outside cannot be eaten, it happily walks away with two bags of food with the devil spicy written on it.Su Ming Casillas nodded, and Xiaoka began to secretly prepare defensive magic, after all, the other party is a succubus, and he still needs the ability to defend against the spiritual system.The guards soon returned, pushed the gate open, and told them that they could enter, and the lord was very eager to do business with the surface people.Casually tossing a bag of spicy strips to the guards as a tip, the two of them walked through the gate and into the palace.Unlike the so-called palace in Gerna, which is actually the home of a cave, although it is underground, it is decorated and furnished like a noble castle, with beautiful carpets on the ground, ornate crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, and landscape paintings by unknown authors hanging on the walls, which are both magnificent and less nouveau riche.It seems that this succubus family has a bit of a foundation, no wonder they can develop the city, they can be regarded as knowledgeable.There are not only butlers and maids in the palace, the race is not recognizable for a short time, but there is always something that looks like a person that does not feel right.Under the guidance of the butler, the two walked through the ornate corridors again, through the doors, and came to a corridor made of black bricks.Because there were no electric lights and telephones, the decorations on the walls were replaced by monster skulls, and the lighting tools were replaced by braziers on the walls.It's just that there is no smell of sulfur in the air, and gates separate the palace from the steam city outside, and the sweet smell of cosmetics fills the place.The butler, who couldn't tell the race, held his head high, pushed open a golden door in front of the two of them, and then staggered to the side, bowed, and signaled to the place.Su Ming also rewarded him with a bag of spicy strips, as a rich man, he was so capricious.The hall looked less like a common sense living room and more like an abyssal altar, and in the light of the torches, only a large inverted pentagram could be seen in the center of the room, in which a demon was standing, holding an obsidian dagger in one paw and a goat in the other.This is the first time I've seen a male succubus body, and it looks like a monster with the head of a dragon, or more like a large pineapple from Diablo, with dark purple scales, sharp claws, and sharp horns that curve forward on the top of the head.It's majestic, and it looks dark."
It's a cross-dimensional summoning circle, he's summoning his own kind."
Casillas leaned closer to the teacher's ear and whispered an explanation, asking with his eyes if he needed to counter the ritual.Su Ming shook his head and said no, he was here to discuss the conditions, and it was inappropriate to interrupt the host.Besides, the other party knew that a human was coming and let him continue the ritual, presumably because he wanted to explain something, just watch it.
