Chapter 599 The Lord and the Lost Crown
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates bowed and took orders and began to move around.
For a time, the footsteps of the subordinates, the dull sound of turning corpses, and the collision of rusted weapons and armor began one after another, and began to rise and fall throughout the cave.
As for Lei Xiao, surrounded by Lian and Hongye, he slowly advanced among the silent goblin army.
Because the bones scattered here and there are too dense.
Therefore, when Lei Xiao was moving forward, he concentrated on it and always paid attention to his feet to avoid tripping over the bones in front of him.
Not far away, a guy wearing a pointed witch hat obviously didn't notice this. As expected, after tripping over a goblin's skull, not only did the witch hat on his head fly away again go out.
Moreover, he dragged Bai Wei, who was unsuspecting next to him, into a strong big horse, causing the latter, who was already a little nervous, to have the hair on his big fluffy white tail explode.
"Fortunately, there are no necromancers here. Otherwise, if everyone suddenly started moving, I would be scared out of my skin... I wonder if there are disposable diapers in this world."
After seeing this hilarious episode, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then squatted down in front of a goblin skeleton.
Looking closely, the mottled armor on this skeleton is also severely rusted.
But it is relatively well-made, and is a level better than what most of the goblin corpses around are wearing. It should be at least a commander above the squadron leader.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao caressed the mottled armor in front of him, and while feeling its rough feel, he casually opened the attribute bar of this set of armor.
[Name: Damaged Goblin Centurion Light Armor] [Original: Goblin Centurion Standard Armor]
[Grade: Damaged] [Original: Second-level Excellent (Green)]
[Defense Strength: Damaged] [Original: ★★]
[Additional effects: none]
[Note: Compared with ordinary soldiers, the standard armor of centurions of a certain Goblin tribe is made of iron ingots mixed with a small amount of meteorite steel. Its defense power and flexibility are higher than those of ordinary soldiers. Breen Armor. 】
"Centurion is an official title of certain races, no different from squadron leader. It seems that my guess is indeed correct."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao pulled out a mottled broad-bladed sword that was half-embedded in the ground next to the skeleton.
Due to severe corrosion, the blade of this ancient broad-bladed sword has been completely deflected. There is a thick layer of brown-red rust on it, and it feels extremely fluffy in the hand. It has obviously completely lost its former sharpness.
"The silent army, the corpses with empty eyes, the mottled armor, the severely corroded rusty swords, the endless passages that never end... I have to say that every element here has a rather epic feel."< br>
Taking a deep breath of the air filled with ancient flavor, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the broad-bladed sword again.
[Name: Broken Goblin Centurion Broadsword] [Original: Brave Goblin Centurion Broadsword]
[Grade: Damaged] [Original: Second-level Excellent (Green)]
[Attack Strength: Damaged] [Original: ★★]
[Additional effect: Damaged] [Original: Sharp "Physical penetration increased by 10%"]
[Note: The standard weapon of a centurion of a certain Goblin tribe has smoothed its sharp edges over time. The mottled blade seems to be silently telling a past event that has been lost in the long river of time. 】
"Are they all worthless equipment like other weapons and armor around?"
Throwing away the long sword in his hand, Lei Xiao patted the dust on his hand and stood up again.
"Sir, judging from the scale, at least an established Goblin legion was destroyed here."
At this time, Lian, who had been standing beside Lei Xiao, bowed slightly.
Speaking of this, Lian pointed to a cave wall not far away, and then continued: "Furthermore, judging from the current situation, this Goblin legion was obviously trapped and died on this more spacious road. In the endless passage.”
Looking in the direction of Lian's finger, Lei Xiao noticed.
There are quite a few skeletons of Goblin soldiers with their backs against the cave wall, sitting in a crooked posture, which is obviously a sign of death from exhaustion.
"Lord, Lian is right."
On the other side, Ye Cang, who had just been exploring at the front, heard an elegant voice from behind Lei Xiao: "My subordinate has already walked around here. This is indeed a perfect loop of endless passages. The length is At least more than ten times the size of the passage we were in just now.”
"Exactly as I expected."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao carefully moved forward among the bones everywhere, while thinking thoughtfully: "Back then, when the goblins conquered these endless lands, they obviously paid a lot of price."< br>
"What the lord said is absolutely true. Judging from the situation just now, the reason why these ancient Goblin skeletons have been left here is because the existing Goblins have not found the entrance to this endless passage."< br>
Hong Ye's crisp voice sounded, and he added: "In other words, after a long time, we are the first batch of people to come here besides this army of goblins."
"Since this hidden passage is buried with an army of goblins, what will be the scene in the other hidden passage?"
I saw Chao Yan, who was holding the witch hat in his arms, blinking his big eyes and said, "It's really curious."
After finishing her words, the girl said "Yeah", her feet stopped again, and she was about to turn over towards the tall Hongye beside her.
The latter calmly turned his body slightly to one side while avoiding Chaoyan's small body.
Taking advantage of the situation, he grabbed the collar of the back of his neck, lifted it up like a little kitten, and gently placed it on a relatively spacious open space next to it.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile.
I have to say that without this Erhannizi, the journey would obviously become much boring.
"Don't worry, let's finish exploring here first, and then go to another hidden passage that has not been discovered by the goblins."
Looking at the frightened look on Chao Yan's little face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's continue."
Just like that, under Lei Xiao's signal.
The group of people walked and walked in this spacious and endless crypt full of bones. After about ten minutes, a goblin skeleton in an obviously very special position caught Lei Xiao's attention.
Under the reflection of Ariel's brilliant magic light ball, Lei Xiao discovered.
This skeleton was leaning against the cave wall, with its head lowered. It was surrounded by the skeletons of rare plate-armored goblin soldiers in a half-moon shape.
Moreover, until the moment of death, a considerable number of these plate-armored goblin guards maintained a standard vigilant posture holding a spear, still loyally guarding the special goblin in the center.
Even the skulls with empty eyes exposed in the semi-enclosed helmets worn by these Goblin guards seemed to reveal a touch of determination.
Although they died, they still faithfully performed their missions until death.
All in all, this scene stood out among the ordinary goblin soldiers lying around.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao and the others couldn't help but have a look of surprise and respect on their faces.
The Goblin clan has always been known for their cunning and insidiousness. When faced with the enemy, if they can beat them, they will beat them to death. If they can't beat them, they will immediately run away.
I didn't expect to see such an awe-inspiring scene in this endless passage.
"Sir, it seems that the Goblin in the center is the leader of this Goblin army."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye on the side said in surprise: "I have to say, this really refreshed my subordinates' views on these green-skinned insects."
"It is indeed an amazing and unforgettable scene, but having said that, every race on the continent has its own meaning of existence, especially those that have experienced the unpredictable blank era and can still continue to this day, obviously have There is something unique about it.”
Nodding slightly to the dragon woman in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's go over and take a look together."
"As you command, my lord."
Hearing the sound, Hongye's eyes were bright and he stood beside Lei Xiao again.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao came straight to the special goblin in the center, and Lei Xiao began to observe it carefully.
I saw the skeleton of this goblin sitting cross-legged with his head lowered, as if he was meditating or sighing.
In addition, he was not wearing armor, but a dark red robe.
Although it has been a long time, the dark red robe has also become mottled, and even the corners have rotted and turned black.
But Lei Xiao still saw extremely exquisite gold embroidery patterns on the dusty robes, which was not common on goblins.
"The identity of this goblin is indeed not simple."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Sir, look at this Goblin's arms. He seems to be holding something in his arms!"
Immediately afterwards, Chaoyan's surprised voice came over.
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao squatted down and began to observe further.
Just as Erhanizi said, under the dark red robe on the abdomen of the goblin skeleton, there was indeed a bulge.
"Ye Cang, go see what that is."
Standing up again, Lei Xiao nodded to the dark priest beside him.
"I am willing to serve you."
Ye Cang bowed slightly, and the metal skull pendant around his neck immediately reflected a silver light.
For him as a dark healer, these bones are obviously not a problem.
Next, Ye Cang squatted down, first gently moved the two arm bones of the sitting goblin a few points, and then lifted a corner of the dark red robe.
As the bulging robe was lifted, ancient dust flew everywhere.
Under the reflection of the magic light ball, a golden object immediately caught the eyes of everyone present.
"It's actually a crown?"
After seeing the golden object clearly, Ariel raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Could it be that this skeleton was once a Goblin king?"
"Things are really getting interesting."
Looking at the crown reflecting the brilliant light on its surface, Lei Xiao knelt down again and immediately opened its attribute bar.
【Name: Crown of Thorns】
[Race: Goblin]
[Function: Symbol of royal power]
[Remarks: This is a long-lost Goblin crown. Its last owner was a great Goblin King. However, this great king known as the "King of Thorns"... He disappeared during a crypt exploration operation.
It is undeniable that according to Goblin tradition, the owner of this crown is the Goblin King. 】
"What a goblin crown."
Looking at the text introduction on the attribute column, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and landed on the last line of text.
I was thinking to myself: "According to Goblin tradition, the owner of this crown is the King of Goblins"? Interesting, I wonder if it can still be fulfilled now? ”
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao immediately signaled Ye Cang to take the crown off the skeleton.
"Sir, my subordinates have carefully inspected it, and there is nothing unusual about this crown."
After a while, after Hong Ye, Ju Bai, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and other powerful magicians took turns checking it, Yu Lian wiped it clean again and handed it to Lei Xiao's hands respectfully.
“Very good.”
After taking the heavy crown, Lei Xiao felt the thick and cool touch on it and began to observe it carefully.
I saw that its entire body was golden in color and was completely forged from metal. It was engraved with extremely exquisite patterns that echoed those on the crimson robe.
The center of the crown is also inlaid with a crystal clear green gemstone, making it look delicate yet graceful, like an excellent top-notch work of art.
"As expected of a crown, it is indeed extraordinary."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly in amazement.
At this time, in Lei Xiao's palm, the goblin crown exuded dazzling golden light, seeming to be silently telling a glorious past.
For a moment, combined with the atmosphere of chaos and corpses all around, people couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.
"This can be considered a lost crown, right? I hope it can regain its new glory in my hands."
"However, such a long time has passed, and I hope this group of goblins has not forgotten this crown."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think: "This crown is only for goblins. Judging from the headband, adults will definitely not be able to wear it, so let's put it away for now."
< br>
In this way, after putting the crown into the space bracelet, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, let's continue exploring."
"As you command, my lord."
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed and said in unison.
After that, the group of people found no other valuable items, and finally passed through the portal, left this endless passage, and returned to the starting point.
"Next, we should go to another hidden endless passage."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao once again took his own steps towards the chaotic vortex ahead. (End of chapter)
