After the goblin shop owner completed the appraisal, he placed the metal ball in his hand on the table. Umekawa Kuzi carefully held the metal ball in his arms as if protecting his valuables, not caring at all that the ball had just been The fact that the goblin shopkeeper licked it around.
"This thing turns out to be the key to an ancient ruin. This may be a prerequisite for the dungeon we will play in the future. I didn't expect it to be triggered for the two of us."
Umekawa Kuzi held the metal ball and muttered to Arthur beside him:
"I have to add this to my nightly strategy."
The goblin shop owner was obviously used to the nonsense of the two goblins in front of him, and continued without paying attention:
"Although it is the key to an ancient ruin, I don't know where the ruin key is yet, and it is impossible to offer a high price. After all, there is no way to cash it in immediately. I am willing to pay five thousand magic stones!"
After listening to what the owner of the goblin shop in front of him said, Sherlock called to Umekawa Kuko and Arthur to leave. Generally, if the ancient ruins can be found, the key alone can be sold for 50,000 magic stones. If it is only 5,000 If the magic stone is sold, it will really be a bit of a loss.
When the goblin store manager saw that Sherlock was about to leave, he immediately became anxious. He walked quickly to Sherlock and said with a smile:
"Lord, we can still discuss the price. I am willing to increase the price to 6,000 magic stones, plus a small gift."
Just as Sherlock was about to refuse, the goblin store manager raised a finger and said very quickly:
"I know what you want to say, Lord. You must be planning to find this ancient ruins by yourself. However, just relying on keys to determine the location of ancient ruins is a very difficult matter. If you are not very knowledgeable in archeology and magic, If it is, you may not be able to find it even if it takes hundreds of years. It is definitely impossible not to find professionals. And if you find professionals, the price of professionals alone will already exceed the price of the key itself. No matter how you calculate it, it is not A good deal, why not sell it to me? If I can find the ancient ruins, I am willing to share the right to explore the ancient ruins with you, the Demon Lord! The price is 6,000 magic stones, and a small gift, the right to explore the ancient ruins. , this is already our biggest concession.”
Sherlock thought about it, and as the store manager said, if he went to search for ancient ruins, the price would indeed be a bit high. It would be better to let this store go look for ancient ruins, and then he could still go shopping in the ancient ruins. Shopping, it wouldn't be a loss if you can get something valuable.
"Yes, yes, but I want to take a look at the small gift you gave me. If it's just an ordinary thing and it doesn't satisfy me, I'll ask for a price of 10,000 magic stones plus the right to explore ancient ruins."
"It is the right to share the exploration of ancient ruins, Lord." The goblin store manager seemed to be very worried about Sherlock playing word games. He emphasized this and then walked towards the back of the store: "Please wait a moment, I will take out the A small gift, I spent a lot of money to get it."
The goblin store manager soon pushed a cage and walked out. In the cage was a little goblin with a pair of transparent wings. The little goblin was about the same size as a goblin. It exuded a faint soft light and was dressed in a suit. Wearing clothes made of flowers, grass and green leaves, we can see that she is a female goblin. She is huddled in the corner of the cage with a frightened look on her face. But in fact, the cage is not much bigger than her. Even if she is huddled in the corner, she still takes up a lot of space. taking up nearly half of the cage.
"The goblins on the Tree of Life are proficient in herbalism and pharmacy. The herbs they grow can have magical effects when taken raw, or they can be used as materials for high-level alchemy. They can use the simplest Using raw materials to create the highest-grade potions can bring extremely high economic benefits, but this little goblin is a bit... stubborn. Ever since she came to my place, she has been unwilling to speak, let alone grow herbs or make medicine for me. Potion, she has recently started a hunger strike, and she is probably planning to starve herself to death. Rather than letting her starve to death here, I might as well give it to you as a gift, Lord Lord, after all, a dead goblin is worthless."
As the goblin store manager said this, he pushed the little goblin in front of Arthur.
The little goblin looked at Arthur, Umekawa Kuko and Sherlock in front of her, and the panic in her eyes became more obvious. Two goblins, a demon lord, and maybe even an entire dungeon of monsters were waiting for her. She simply didn't want to Dare to imagine what kind of horror she would live in in the future, she closed her eyes and trembled.
From Sherlock's point of view, this little goblin is not good-looking, and it is colorful and looks a bit strange. However, as a goblin who can grow herbs and make potions, Sherlock feels that he will still be able to use it in the future.
Naturally, Arthur and Umekawa Kuzi had never seen a goblin, especially Umekawa Kuzi. They were full of curiosity about this little goblin and walked around the little goblin several times.
Sherlock formally reached an agreement with the owner of "Homecoming Magic Items Store". The goblin store manager quickly drafted an agreement. Both of them signed the agreement, and then held their hands together, marking the mark of magic. Appearing where the two shook hands, the agreement was finally completed.
Sherlock took his share of the agreement and left his address. The goblin shop owner contacted him later, and the goblin shop owner transferred the six thousand magic stones to Sherlock's exclusive small card. Arthur accepted it. Holding the goblin's cage, Umekawa Kuko reluctantly handed over the key to the ancient ruins in his hand to the goblin store manager in front of him. The goblin manager carefully collected the key to the ancient ruins and then gave him a warm farewell. They left the shop with Sherlock in mind.
Sherlock looked at the card in his hand and couldn't help but feel touched. At least Simba's salary was settled, and he could buy some food to take back. After all, the Eternal Kingdom had to support a hundred goblins, although it had already been opened for them. Let them go hunting for games in the spider lair, but those goblins don't have any combat experience yet. It will obviously take some time to get stable food from the spider lair.
Sherlock has six thousand magic stones in his hand. This is not a small amount. Life is so dramatic. Who would have thought that there is such a treasure in the spider lair next to his home? With money in hand, Sherlock felt confident enough to go shopping in the market. He first purchased all the necessary items such as food, and then bought a lot of teleportation scrolls. Then Sherlock walked into a house filled with items. There is a shop with various rotten plants. The words "Secret Garden" are written on the door of the shop.
This is a gardening store, at least on the surface.
Sherlock walked into the store, and Arthur and Umekawa Kuko behind him were dragging too many things, and it was inconvenient to bring those things into the store. In addition, for the sake of their safety, Sherlock The two of them were ordered to stay outside the store and wait. Even though Arthur and Umekawa Kuko looked unhappy, they still couldn't resist the direct order from the city lord.
"Ah, I still want to go in and watch the plot..."
When Sherlock walked into the [Secret Garden], Umekawa Kuko said regretfully.
[Secret Garden] As a gardening store, the store is naturally filled with all kinds of floral arrangements. Plants covered with tentacle suckers are entrenched in the huge flower trays. Huge flowers as tall as a man are constantly blooming. While chewing, you can see red blood slowly seeping out from the roots. The green vines have sharp barbs and are wrapping a goat. The flesh thorns poke into the goat's body and you can see the stems. Something is slowly moving...
What a peaceful and warm scene! Sherlock looked at the lovely and beautiful plants in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Welcome! We have a lot of new varieties in our store, and there are also many medium and large bonsai potted plants, which are very suitable for enjoying during leisure time and tea time!"
A sturdy tauren wearing an apron was using scissors to take care of the vines that were eating goats. While talking enthusiastically, he used scissors to cut off the growing vines. The vines immediately curled up. The goat he was holding was squeezed so much that it changed its shape. Fortunately, the goat had died long ago, otherwise it would have suffered even more, and the small section of the vine that was cut off was lying on the ground in pain. It rolled and twisted like a snake with its head cut off.
"I need to build a new flower garden in my dungeon. The area should be large and the shape should be grand. In addition, I need to buy some herbal seeds, with more varieties, the best!"
After Sherlock finished speaking, the tauren took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew for a while, and then showed it to Sherlock:
"A good flowerbed must have high-quality soil, especially if you need to grow the best herbs, then the soil requirements are even higher. The soil in the bottom layer of the underworld is the most suitable! If you water and fertilize, Ordinary groundwater and fertilizer cannot be used. I suggest here a two-in-one well water from the Well of Eternity under the Tree of Life. Only one drop can be used to irrigate large flower beds. Of course, the price is also higher. For seeds , there are also many high-grade herbal seeds, the most popular ones in our underground world... "
The tauren was holding a piece of paper and talking nonchalantly, but Sherlock had already raised his hand to interrupt him. Sherlock said:
"Everything else is fine. As for the seeds, you may need to pay a little more attention because the person responsible for planting may be a goblin."
The tauren shopkeeper suddenly understood. He raised his hoof and put it on the crotch, thought for a moment, and said:
"In this case, you really need to pay attention. It is indeed possible for the plants in the underground world to eat the goblins as food. It may take a little more time to smuggle the herbs there from the World Tree. Seeds are quite troublesome. Of course, you can rest assured that the quality of these herbal seeds can definitely be guaranteed, but the price is..."
Sherlock waved his hand generously: "There is no problem with the price. Problems that can be solved with magic stones are not problems in my eyes!"
"What a generous customer! One hundred thousand magic stones in total!"
——————
The flower garden business was finally settled, but the soil is not the soil of the lowest underworld, but the more common kind in the underground world. For fertilizing and watering, the water from the Well of Eternity is not used. After all, the Well of Eternity is The well water is full of magic power, which is not necessarily a good thing for ordinary soil. The complete groundwater well facilities can collect sweet groundwater, which is suitable for watering and drinking. As for fertilizer, a Stanley compound gold Carats are enough. As for seeds, Sherlock decided to use herbal seeds from the World Tree. After all, the quality of the seeds directly determines what can grow. You can save everything, but you can't save this!
After finalizing, it cost five thousand magic stones. Although it seemed much less than one hundred thousand magic stones, it was still a big deal. The tauren shop owner still gave Sherlock a warm farewell, and then arranged for the stone man. The construction team followed Sherlock back to Sherlock's dungeon.
There were only less than 500 magic stones in Sherlock's card. He was so rich just now and suddenly entered the poor class again. It was like a roller coaster. Sherlock was quite touched.
But after all, this is an investment for the dungeon, and it is still necessary to spend some magic stones.
Returning to the Eternal Kingdom dungeon from the portal reception hall, the other world players in the dungeon warmly welcomed Sherlock and the others who had returned with a full load. The stone people pushed away the crowd and planned to go to survey the place for construction. At this time, Umekawa Kuko saw The voice shouted:
"Lord! This little goblin has fainted!"
