The Goblin King turned his eyes in disbelief. At the other end of the cave was a girl with messy hair and a light blue slime beside her. They were the man's companions.
"Have you calculated all this?"
The sight was stained red with blood, and the blue sky became blurred in the eyes of the Goblin King.
Before dying, what it saw was not the great achievements created by the ancient Goblin emperor, nor Yang Yu's annoying smile, but the surprise on the face of the captain of the Goblin elite assassination force today.
What did it want to say to me at that time? If I had listened to it, how would the outcome be different now
There is no way to know all of this.
This possibility only exists forever in the Goblin King's final imagination.
"Cough cough." The violent coughing stopped. Bai Jin's face turned pale. He looked at He Meng beside him weakly, "Thank you, Miss He Meng? Thanks to you, I was able to complete what Yang Yu asked me to do."
That’s right, the reason Bai Jin and the others are here is all because of Yang Yu’s instructions.
When Yang Yu heard Bai Jin's report, he felt a little strange.
Why are there so many eyes here alone
Yang Yu speculated that this was most likely the escape route of the Goblin King, so Yang Yu arranged for Bai Jin to return to the cave after escorting the Silver Wind team back to the town, wait for the opportunity, and eliminate all the goblins that came here.
After waiting for a long time, Bai Jin finally saw the goblin that Yang Yu mentioned. She wanted to use [Healing Taboo] to block the recovery first and then make the last hit. However, just after she released the first magic, she fell ill and couldn't stop coughing. She couldn't chant the magic to make the last hit forever.
He Meng didn't want to attack, but he could clearly feel the aura of a powerful person on the goblin. Bai Jin couldn't compile a second magic attack. In order to prevent things from getting complicated, he could only use his ultimate move directly at the goblin's face.
In response to Bai Jin's thanks, it proudly turned its body to the side. In its heart, it was very happy that someone could thank it well, which was a thousand times better than an ungrateful man.
"The next step is"
Bai Jin approached the goblin's body cautiously.
"Yang Yu also said that there might be some treasures in the goblin's body. Hehehe, how can you say that? This goblin looks very strong. Such a goblin is full of treasures. Hehehe, maybe we can make some strange magic potion. After making it, what kind of person should we find to try it on?"
His mouth was full of creepy words, but looking at his expression, Bai Jin's face was not filled with excitement, but fear and disgust, an expression of not wanting to do it but having to do it.
What the hell is wrong with her? She is so annoying, but she pretends to be indifferent.
There was no choice but to move his body and wrap the body of the Goblin King.
It took the slime a very long time to digest the meat. It was almost evening when it finished, and only a ruby necklace was left on the ground.
Bai Jin picked up the necklace and thanked He Meng repeatedly.
"Thank you. He will be happy to get the spoils."
He Meng just lay quietly aside and burped. He regretted his decision to clean up the goblin's corpse. "It's so disgusting. I guess a normal slime without a sense of taste would vomit after taking a bite of this taste. Fortunately, I was able to finish it."
The expedition against the Goblin King has finally come to an end.
At night, the adventurers who returned to the tavern held a party. Yang Yu undoubtedly became the protagonist of the celebration, but he did not immerse himself in the cheerful atmosphere of the tavern. The fact that his level had reached the upper limit had been bothering him.
Putting aside the method the system provides to break through the upper limit, while the rescue team and the rescued people are happily partying, a special meeting is also taking place at the same time.
In the dim room, nine people wearing brown hoods sat around a huge round table, each of them wearing a brooch with a different number on their chest.
"Just as we speculated, the president of the Yinlan Chamber of Commerce is indeed colluding with other countries." The hooded man No. 2, the investigator, said confidently.
"Not only that, I heard they are secretly conducting inhumane research." Hooded man No. 3 threw out a stack of information in his hand, "Their goal may not be as simple as making money."
"I had a premonition a long time ago, but unfortunately, the evidence we have is not enough to convict them. As long as he can prove his innocence, these evidences will be used to frame him as someone with ulterior motives, and he will be able to turn the tables." said the hooded man number five.
"I agree. We still lack decisive evidence to convict them." said Hooded Man No. 1.
"How can we obtain the decisive evidence? Due to our identities, we cannot send people to investigate in person. Once exposed, Congress may not necessarily favor us." said hooded man number four.
"The evidence is overwhelming."
An old voice rang out in the conference room. It was the hooded man number nine. As soon as he spoke, the whole room fell silent.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Hooded Man No. 4 asked tentatively.
Hooded man No. 9 said decisively, "The decisive evidence is in their secret research institutes. Chairman Pancake Face must have hidden the records of his transactions with other countries in that secret research institute. We just need to send someone there."
"Sir, I just said that if we send someone to investigate..."
Hooded Man No. 4 was about to remind him, but Hooded Man No. 9 interrupted him, "We don't have enough manpower, so let the adventurers do it."
"Adventurers? Can those who only know how to do things for money really be trusted? What if we are implicated?" There were repeated voices of doubt in the conference room, indicating that adventurers could not be trusted.
"I know very well what kind of dangers there will be when we go to the underground research institute. I also know the risks that will be implicated if the plan is exposed."
The hooded male force number nine said slowly.
"But please think about it carefully. Adventurers only care about getting paid and don't ask for anything else. The risk of us being exposed is lower than you think. As long as the mission is handed over layer by layer, the adventurer will not know who the real employer is. Besides, I know someone who happens to work in the Adventurer's Guild, and he is on our side. If anything happens, he will definitely be able to help us get away with it."
The hooded men looked at each other. Even though they still had some opinions, not being able to come up with an alternative plan was just looking for trouble. Now that they were pressed for time, they could only try this somewhat unreliable method.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Your Excellency."
"Um-"
Hooded man number nine nodded, and the other hooded men left one after another, leaving only hooded man number nine, hunched over, sitting in the conference room, sighing secretly.
"When the country is in crisis, there are still people who only want to protect their own interests, whether they are enemies or companions. For the sake of the country, it's okay to take a little risk, but they..."
Hooded Man No. 9 lowered his hood, frowned, and muttered to himself.
"Perhaps me too."
