After listening to this piece of information given by the "friendship" of the Desert King, there was no change in Goron's face. However, after all, he was not a deep and cunning man in the city. There was still a trace of anger and heartache deep in his eyes.
This is the pain of being betrayed by someone he trusts. Even he himself didn't know that the previous Tower of Babel and his party would go to the planet above the sky for a trip, and then they would be tens of thousands of miles away when they came back. on the great desert. Naturally, it is even more impossible for Heicheng to grasp his current whereabouts. Then there are only two possibilities for releasing the news that "the real boss behind the scenes is about to come to the fore". One is that Heicheng has finally had enough of his ever-changing behavior. The missing hands-off shopkeeper plans to establish a new owner, but this possibility must be based on the approval or acquiescence of the big boss Cassandra. After all, she is the well-deserved leader of the three giants of the Black City in terms of identity, strength and status. It is not an exaggeration to even say that she is the real controller of the Black City.
There is another possibility that Gron is even more unwilling to see, that is, there have been huge changes within the entire Black City, and he is trying to overthrow the system established in the past. The big boss or even the goblin merchant Tarkin may have lost his voice.
Judging from the current situation, especially Ashe's experience, the second possibility is more likely to occur, and the situation may even be worse than Gronn imagined. The little ogre has to worry about his family members.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that these problems will be solved!" Goron's answer was smooth and calm, without the excitement and anger that the Desert King expected. However, the Desert King felt a very dangerous feeling from his calm words. breath. It was filled with the aura of blood and death. It was hard to imagine what kind of training Goron had gone through at his age to develop this aura of death that seemed to have been developed after thousands of bloody battles.
And with the strong sense of smell, Desert King Xerxes seemed to smell some bloody smells belonging to super-level existences from Goron. Some smells even made Xerxes himself begin to wonder if his nose was wrong, because those bloody smells The flavors are all powerful beings belonging to the ancient divine war period.
The Desert King was very satisfied with this dangerous feeling. She had not experienced this novel and exciting feeling for a long time since she was defeated by the super monster Retusus. Xerxes had a feeling that if she followed this beautiful child in front of her, there would be endless surprises waiting for her.
"When do we leave?"
"Let's go? Where are we going?" The Desert King was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not react to Goron's sudden question for a while.
"To Montenegro, of course."
Seeing Gron's attitude of planning to leave now, the Desert King suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Do you think it is so simple to attend other countries as a special envoy of the Golden Sun Dynasty, something that can be done at the drop of a hat? Preparation work at least needs to be done. Seven days, but you don’t have to worry, because the harassment from the Anubis Army has not yet been resolved, so this mission will keep everything simple and will use a super-large magic carpet, and the travel speed will be very fast.”
Hearing this, Goron finally felt a little relieved. After all, this time it was about his closest relatives and he couldn't help himself.
"But before that, you have to do the second thing for me."
Seeing the sinister smile on the corner of the Desert King's mouth, Goron's heart suddenly twitched. He promised the Desert King to do three things for her. The first one was to be his "woman" during this period, which was shameful to say. Shame on you, this is actually the easiest one. If Gronn wants to use the Desert King as his trump card against the Empire or even against Retusus, the price he has to pay will naturally not be small. It is possible for Xerxes to make any request to him. Fortunately, he has at least two more Right to refuse.
With an uneasy feeling, Goron finally heard the Desert King's second request...
Go to the Seven Towers Alliance, the country of magicians, to investigate the truth about the Anubis Army.
"You know, based on the nominal strategic alliance between the Golden Sun Dynasty and the Seven Towers Alliance, and even the personal relationship between myself and those divine and magic mentors, I can never send personnel blatantly. I will investigate this matter unless I get conclusive evidence. But those puppies are really annoying. Although I gave them a good lesson and killed them, there were almost no ones left, but if I had expected them. Not bad. As long as the 'old bitch' still exists, it won't be long before these little puppies will appear in large numbers again, so this matter must be investigated clearly. Originally, I planned to take a risk and sent. Several secret personnel went to the Seven Towers Alliance to investigate, but since you, a little beauty, fell from the sky and appeared in front of me at this moment, it would be perfect, whether it is your personal combat power that can defeat me in two moves, or your ability to For the mental strategy to create the Black City, you are more suitable than the people I arranged before. I can't find a more perfect choice for you for this task. "
Gronn was silent, and naturally his difficulties could not be hidden from the wise and unparalleled Desert King.
"Don't worry, I will send my capable men to assist you. If there are no unexpected events in my plan, it will only take you at least three to five days to find out the results, just in time for the departure of our mission. . Even if you fail the mission, I will allow you to give up the mission and withdraw on your own. Of course, this time it will not be counted among the three missions. And... you have to give me some extra... compensation... "
…
Riding on the small flying carpet, Goron still had in his mind the last few things the Desert King told him. All in all, this is a huge conspiracy involving two countries. Just thinking about it, you know that this is by no means a simple and ordinary task. However, in the end, Goron did not use a precious opportunity to refuse. Not only because he knew that every time he refused, the next task proposed by the opponent would be more difficult, but also because Gronn himself was a little confused and curious about the invasion of the Golden Sun Dynasty by the Anubis army. Goron intuitively felt that these creatures were not unrelated to him. He had many encounters with these magical creatures in the Tower of Babel and the Ark of Life. Even his true love, the great monster Gaia, is the main opponent of these magical creatures.
"We are almost reaching the boundary of the Seven Towers Alliance's great barrier. From here onwards, it is a no-magic and no-fly zone. No one except those magicians can activate magic items here, so we can only cross a section on foot. distance."
The cat girl Fatima said to Goron respectfully. She was Goron's assistant and his only helper on this trip. This black-haired cat lady is one of the investigators originally arranged by the Desert King. She is a dark walker at the peak of the war king level. The cat lady family is born with the talent bonus of stealth. When she fully activates the shadow fighting spirit and enters the stealth state, she will It is not easy even for Goron's second magical power, Heavenly Sight, Earthly Hearing, to find her. However, when Goron looked at this sweet and cute kitten girl, there was one thing in his mind that the Desert King had specially asked.
If the mission fails, the top priority is to kill the desert king's capable men. If conditions permit, it is best to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
"Miss Gloria, is there something on my face?"
Goron was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Fatima was calling him. His body now has no trace of any trace of maleness left, and he looks like a mature and coquettish woman inside and out. The Desert King didn't seem to be interested in lifting the curse for him in a short period of time, so Goron took out the frequently used, more feminine name "Gloria".
"If you are embarrassed by the order to kill me when the mission entrusted by Lord Xerxes fails, there is no need. We, the sand cat clan, have already dedicated our lives and souls to Lord Xerxes, even if you want to sacrifice the blood of our entire clan. , no one in our tribe will frown.”
"Don't you, the sand cat clan, belong to the orc tribe camp? Why are you loyal to the Golden Sun Dynasty?" Goron asked curiously. In his opinion, the racial talent of this sand cat clan is very powerful, especially in Among the races suitable for Dark Walkers, they are firmly ranked in the top five. A race like this should belong to a large and powerful clan in the orc tribe, and it is definitely not normal for it to appear here.
"Miss Gloria, you have misunderstood. Our sand cat clan is loyal to the Desert King Xerxes, not the Golden Sun Dynasty..."
Different from the previous answer to all questions, after Fatima said this, she obviously did not want to answer Goron's next question. After being silent for a long time, her pair of red and blue vertical pupils suddenly looked forward. , lowered his voice and said to Goron: "Lord Gloria, the situation ahead is not quite right!"
Goron's ears twitched. He, who had always activated his second magical power, certainly noticed the abnormality one step earlier than Fatima.
The two of them are now in a golden wasteland. Unlike the Golden Sun Desert, where there are endless stretches of soft yellow sand, this place is a transitional area between hills and deserts. There are sharp stones underfoot, and even the sand cats' paws are born with Even soft elastic pads cannot guarantee that you will not make any noise when walking. At this time, the sound of large footsteps coming from directly in front was deafening.
Not long after, hundreds of bronze-armored warriors more than two meters tall appeared in front of the two men.
"These are magic puppets created by magicians, nicknamed the Tin Man. They were originally responsible for the security work of this generation. Although they have strong defense and are extremely difficult to destroy, they are very slow and can basically only serve as guards. Human shields and cannon fodder.”
Goron, who has seen the creations of the Magic Emperor with his own eyes, will certainly not take these things whose combat power is only equivalent to the third and fourth levels in his eyes now, let alone this kind of iron toy that walks slowly, even if there are more of them. I am also sure that I will escape unscathed. So Goron looked at the cat lady in confusion and asked: "If that's the case, then you must have already had a way to deal with it."
"It was there before, but not anymore..."
The cat lady looked at Goron with a wry smile and said, "Lord Gloria, haven't you noticed that our mission has failed?" (~^~)
