Kirby is in a bad mood today.
After more than 60 years of separation, the owner finally summoned it again.
Of course, the process of meeting was still so enthusiastic, but after returning to his goblin shop, Kirby suddenly became depressed.
After briefly inspecting the store, looking at the apprentice clerk who was nodding and bowing in front of him without daring to breathe, and seeing the three wizards who had already been waiting in the store, Kirby the goblin suddenly lost his previous glory and complacency.
After sending them away with a few words, it returned to the secret room behind the store, lying on its favorite big recliner, silently staring at the ceiling in a daze.
The master is still the master! After more than sixty years, the master's face is still the same as it was sixty years ago, it seems that the passage of time has not left any traces on him at all.
And it...
Kirby got up quickly, ran to a mercury mirror in the corner of the room, and carefully examined his face again.
Green rough skin was piled loosely on his body, and the once green skin was now dull. The ugly face in the past is still ugly now, but in addition to being ugly, traces of aging and weakness can be vaguely seen.
The green goblin looks so ugly, so all the humans around will not look at it so carefully. Even those sojourner wizards who asked for it, while talking to it in a friendly manner, were extremely contemptuous and disdainful in their hearts.
In their eyes, goblins are often associated with words such as stupidity, slaves, and experimental materials, and they are not worthy of being called intelligent creatures at all. If it weren't for the early access to the wizard-level golem that the shop regularly launched, these arrogant wizards would probably not even be willing to approach it, let alone make a humble request to it.
The goblin Kirby in the past enjoyed the scene of being on an equal footing with these wizards. He always liked to squint his eyes, cross his legs, and listen quietly to the blunt and dry flattery and praise of the other party.
But today, for some reason, Goblin Kirby suddenly lost interest in all of this!
Lying in front of the mercury mirror that could completely reflect its appearance, Kirby looked left and right, and finally had to admit that he was getting old.
As a lowly goblin, its basic lifespan is much shorter than that of humans, at best it is only 60-80 years. But in the cruel living environment of nature, most goblins can live to be 30 years old and they are already considered old!
Most goblin tribes can't afford to support old goblins who have lost their fighting ability, so once a goblin is over 30 years old and enters the middle and late stages of his life, he is not far from being abandoned by the tribe!
The wanton and happy life in the past made Kirby almost forget that he is a goblin. But after meeting the master today, facing the almost ageless face of the master, the goblin Kirby realized this again.
Although it is a strange goblin transformed by wizards with witchcraft, it already belongs to the first-level monster in terms of life aptitude. This will undoubtedly double its base lifespan. But the goblin's basic life is too low, even if it is doubled, it will only look like 140 to 50 years.
And it...
To put it bluntly, with the owner closing the test once, its life is already over half. In most goblin tribes, they are already on the brink of elimination.
There was a hint of sadness and fear for no reason, and the goblin Kirby began to turn around in the secret room agitatedly.
This is the advanced wizarding world!
This is the omnipotent wizard world!
Could it be that here, as a great goblin merchant, can't find a way and means to continue the life of goblins
Frantically flipping through countless witchcraft books, and calling several apprentices who served him in to inquire, Goblin Kirby finally found painfully that even in the wizarding world, extending life is an expensive luxury Behavior.
As for the life extension rituals that are more popular among wizards, they can also be divided into three different grades: low, middle and high. The low grade can extend 50 years, the middle grade can extend 300 years, and the high grade can extend 1000 years. As for their prices, they are naturally the same as their effects. It is frustrating, and I wish I could just rob a witch tower.
In addition to the price, the life extension ritual also requires the use of many rare resources, most of which are difficult to find in the wizarding world. Just collecting resources is probably another terrifying astronomical figure. Even if all the resources are collected by chance, a high-ranking wizard needs to be invited to preside over it. This is another huge amount that ordinary wizards can't even imagine.
Therefore, according to Kirby's understanding, the low-end life-extending rituals cost about 700,000-800,000 magic crystals, the mid-range ones cost about 5 million magic crystals, and the high-end ones are almost priceless...
Based on Kirby's savings over the years, while working hard on behalf of Greem's master, he has also accumulated some 'private money', which looks like 150,000 to 60,000 magic crystals.
In the past, it was always proud of its hard work and ability. But now, comparing the two, it suddenly lost the motivation to fight. I always feel that everything in front of me is like a bubble, and it will disappear with a light poke.
When you are young, no one thinks directly about death.
But after enjoying the honor and prosperity, Goblin Kirby felt that he could not do without all of them.
Patrolling his own goblin shop every day, enjoying the nodding and bowing of wizard apprentices, listening to the humility of wizards, such days are simply blissful.
But now...
Kirby always has a fearful feeling that he is walking towards death step by step.
I must be someone useful to the master!
Kirby swears viciously...
That night, the goblin Kirby contacted the goblin Grand Duke Gazlowe who was far away on the alien plane again, and then a large number of magic stone mines were transferred to the goblin plane in the form of transactions.
Of course, in this batch of magic stone mines, there is also a seemingly inconspicuous small silver ore mixed in, and the dots of silver ash inside are covered by thick ore.
And its weak energy fluctuations are mixed in the strong energy breath of the magic stone, and it is impossible to detect it with the shallow magic power perception of goblin creatures.
The bait has already been cast, and the rest is to wait for the other party to take the bait slowly.
...
Greem wasn't surprised by Goblin Kirby's extremely enthusiastic proposal.
It is a green goblin, and Gazlowe, who is far away on the alien plane, is also a green goblin. Although the two are of the same species, they are not tied by any blood and family, so there is no desire to betray their compatriots. burden.
Besides, with goblins always being ungrateful and ungrateful, Greem was surprised that Kirby, the goblin, took so long to think about it before taking real action.
But regardless of Kirby's initial motives, sending those adulterated 'gifts' over is the only thing he cares about. As for the eternal life that Kirby dreamed of, Greem also agreed without saying anything.
What's the rush, Kirby has at least seventy or eighty years to live, and it won't be too late to think about this issue after the Goblin Plane falls into his pocket. Life extension ritual? It's too expensive, and you need rare items such as keel bones, dragon snake grass, and hydra eggs at every turn. Even Greem is not sure about finding these things.
Therefore, when Kirby is about to die, it is not bad to directly transform him into a spirit body or a witch beast, and the life span is definitely extended. Of course, let Mary first embrace it and transform it into a blood-sucking goblin. But goblin blood smells so bad, it's really a question of whether Mary is willing to bite it...
After dealing with many matters at hand, Greem strolled into a secret room.
The secret room was empty, only a complicated and mysterious mysterious witch array was carved in the center.
When Greem stood in it, Wuta immediately mobilized a huge amount of energy and poured it into the formation. As countless witchcraft runes and magic lines quietly emerged in the void, a magnificent witch formation enveloped the entire secret room.
The secret room immediately became dark and dull.
...
At the same time, within the Tower of Destiny in the Northland.
The astrologer on the top floor of the Destiny Tower suddenly overflowed with dark and lightless mist, engulfing the entire space with lightning speed.
A graceful and graceful figure was standing silently in the darkness, looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
The galaxy is shining, the stars are dotted.
In this extremely beautiful world of stars, Alice's slender figure looked so lonely and bleak, even her face was wet with tears.
A tall figure hugged her from behind, and gently wiped away the two lines of teardrops that had just rolled down.
"What are you feeling sad about again? If you miss Endo, you can directly teleport to the Throne of Fire! Don't always hide here and mourn by yourself..." Greem's voice came from the tall figure, but this body Obviously not a real entity, but some kind of weird witchcraft like consciousness projection.
Alice squeezed back, allowing 'Grim' to hug her tightly, and did not speak.
Over the years, in front of outsiders, she has always been the fate witch Alice who is as calm as ice and snow, as prophetic as a god, and is always wrapped in a veil of mystery! But only she knows that whenever she stands on this astronomical platform, she can clearly perceive the mighty and endless torrent of fate.
In the eyes of outsiders, the witch of fate is a great existence who controls the river of fate. Even she herself, when she first came into contact with these things, was lost under the mysterious force of fate.
However, the deeper she was immersed in the long river of fate, the more she felt her own powerlessness and fragility. Every exploration of the river of fate is no less than an adventure, and it is an adventure for which there is no preparation.
The river of fate is not static.
In the vast and boundless world of wizards, there are so many strong people who have the ability to extend their tentacles into the river of fate. And their existence is a disaster for Alice!
Relying on their own strength, these guys unscrupulously set off torrents one after another in the long river of fate, intercepting the long river of fate as they wish, and directing it to the direction they want.
Even across a distance of millions of miles, Alice could feel the angry roar and roar of the river of fate.
