    There is no distinction between day and night in the underground world. A day for people traveling in the wilderness generally refers to the eighteen hours after waking up. The time spent sleeping at night is not included. In this way, as long as the traveling time is not too long,  , the date in a traveler's memory is basically not too far from that of a large town that uses expensive mechanical clocks to accurately record time.  "It'll be ready soon!" Ivan hurriedly swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and said vaguely.  It¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t know that Maize has objections to his huge appetite, but he can¡¯t help it. According to the conclusion drawn from his experiment, the most convenient and trouble-free way for the little devil to quickly accumulate evolutionary energy is to eat. The more he eats, the more he eats.  The more the merrier.  Although he knew that eating and drinking like this would cause Maize's displeasure, Ivan had already decided that in order not to become Maize's experiment, and in order to truly learn magic from Maize (as opposed to having to rush to the front to kill)  Warrior, this profession of hiding behind heavy human shields and shooting black guns is very suitable for Alvin). He must accumulate enough energy to successfully evolve into an intermediate demon before Maize grows his arms again and recovers from his injuries.  If he becomes an intermediate demon, his status will immediately change. Even if he owes Maize a large amount of money, Maize is not qualified to put him in the dissecting room again - at least on the surface.  After packing their luggage, they quickly hit the road. Unlike before when Ivan went out hunting alone, now he had the fourth-level Archmage Maize by his side, walking all the way, although Ivan felt many lives on the roadside.  There was an ambush, but it turned out to be uneventful. After more than ten hours, they successfully arrived at Kadom, the goblin ruins.  To put it bluntly, it¡¯s not surprising. Maize covered his body with a cloak along the way and behaved quite low-key. But how could a robber who could survive in this dangerous wild world not distinguish between being low-key and being low-key?  As for the difference between those with low strength, facing the great mage Maize, it is inevitable to be careful when letting go.  Kadom, the Goblin Ruins, is located on a remote ancient battlefield. It is a tribal town composed of more than 3,000 goblins.  Many people may find it strange that in the underground world where strength is paramount, how can there be a town composed of goblins?  Indeed, goblins are dirty and timid. In terms of strength, they are firmly seated as the most vulnerable group in the Endless Cave. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason to divide them, but things are not absolute.  First of all, there are occasionally warriors among goblins. Generally speaking, on average, one hobgoblin will appear for every one hundred newborn goblins. This kind of hobgoblin is tall and brave and good at fighting. When they reach adulthood, the combat effectiveness of each hobgoblin is  They are comparable to a first-level or even a slightly weaker second-level warrior. Now there are nearly two hundred hobgoblins accumulated in this town. This is obviously a force that is enough to deter most small and medium-sized forces.  Of course, it doesn't matter if you just have some hobgoblin warriors. If the stronger forces really want to destroy this group of goblins, they just have to kill and sharpen their swords a few more times. The problem is that in addition to the hobgoblins, this goblin tribe also has  A powerful fifth-level goblin great shaman.  Ten years ago, I don¡¯t know what this guy ate randomly, but he suddenly mutated from an ordinary first-level goblin shaman to a fifth-level goblin great shaman.  Everyone is envious of this kind of thing, but good things have been given the first to others, and everyone will only have a stare afterwards.  If that goblin's profession is a mage or a warrior, then it goes without saying that even if he reaches the fifth level, he will definitely be the worst among the fifth-level professionals. He may not even be as good as some fourth-level professionals. In that case, there will definitely be jealousy.  The forces of the shaman are coming to attack, but if it is a shaman Everyone knows that the shaman profession has really weird abilities. It is not strong or weak, but it is not weak. Even if you can't beat you, you can at least be disgusted.  Damn you.  The most important thing is that the power of this profession has nothing to do with race. Even a goblin who is despised by everyone will be extremely powerful as long as he reaches the fifth level.  There are not many masters in the surrounding forces who are stronger than this fifth-level shaman, but as we all know, goblins are extremely poor and too lazy to live, and no one wants to be a slave. In the same way, unless they are really desperate, there are basically no intelligent creatures of other races.  Everyone still has the basic self-esteem to work for goblins to make a living, and this, in disguise, limits the development of goblins.  Therefore, for this kind of goblin force with slim prospects for money and even slimmer prospects, there is no benefit to be gained from winning the battle. And if the boat capsizes in the gutter and loses, it will not only be embarrassing, but also the danger of the current power being divided up.  In this spare time, it would be more practical to hire experts to kill goblins (which is embarrassing to hear), rather than to kill other more ambitious forces around you.  Because of this, in the past ten years, although the major forces in the area have been shuffled many times and the bosses have been changed several times, Kadom, the remote goblin ruins, has always survived and developed tenaciously.  Kadom is located in a?In the large saltwater swamp, it is said that underneath this swamp is a main battlefield in the Third Holy War in ancient times. According to rumors, countless masters shed their blood here and sacrificed their lives.  It destroyed their lives and caused countless joys and sorrows.  But generally speaking, people who come here are generally more concerned about the relics of the dead masters than the stories about them.  Countless years have passed, and most of the more valuable things left on this ancient battlefield have been discovered and resold by dozens of forces that once occupied this land. If there are any treasures left, they have all been deeply buried.  They were buried in the mud and were difficult to find.  Without income, naturally no one came to compete for it, so in the past hundred years, this place was once abandoned.  But fortunately or unfortunately, the current owners of this land are goblins, and goblins are the only race in the underground world that has enough patience and is willing to collect all kinds of garbage from the dark and smelly mud as family heirlooms¡ª  -In fact they have nothing else to do.  It is said that Kadom was originally just an ordinary tribal city, but the ambitious goblin great shaman was obviously not satisfied with this. In order to attract popularity and the products needed for further development to this remote place, it is said that he thought for several months.  Even the goblin great shaman, who lost all his hair and aged prematurely, claimed that he had received the divine inspiration from the goblin god, which strictly ordered every goblin in the tribe to take out at least five heirlooms every month to set up a stall for business.  .  In order to increase the goblins' desire to trade, the goblin great shaman further stipulated that if the goods on display are sold for more than the specified amount, the proceeds will belong to the stall owner. If no few are sold within a month,  money, then all the goblin's earnings will be confiscated and he will be forced to do hard labor for a week.  As soon as this perverted law came out, it really stimulated the goblins' desire to do business. There were more goods on display, and there would always be some good things, so it slowly attracted many merchants and solo travelers.  It¡¯s not possible to find artifacts from goblins who generally don¡¯t know what they¡¯re selling, but it¡¯s still possible to find some ordinary magic metals or mechanical items and resell them at a profit.  Along the only solid path in this swamp, we gradually went deeper into the swamp, listening to the passers-by chatting about the origin and interesting things about Kadom, the goblin ruins. Time passed quickly and unknowingly, as if it was just a moment.  In a short time, Alvin and Maize followed the sparse flow of people to a large flat land in the center of the swamp.  In the center of the flatland is a rough town built with rock walls and surrounded by solid rocks. Black shadows can be seen flashing from time to time behind the narrow shooting holes in the wall.  Several torches inserted diagonally on the stone wall were burning, so even though they were nearly a hundred meters away, Alvin could still see everything clearly.  Outside the stone wall are messy and noisy stalls. Needless to say, the owners of the stalls are ordinary goblins who have been ordered to sell family heirlooms.  Strictly speaking, the rows of stalls themselves were arranged quite neatly, but those weird goblins used their goods to make the neat stalls look like a mess, which made people admire them.  However, the messy stalls do not affect the customers' enthusiasm for shopping. Most of the leak pickers with low capital are wandering in these stalls.  As for the stone wall, probably because the goblins were severely paranoid about being murdered, a circle of heavily armed hobgoblins surrounded the stone door where they entered, and it seemed that they did not welcome too many entrants.  Even so, Maize still had no intention of stopping. He asked Ivan to wander around in the simple market outside first, and then walked to the stone gate without hesitation and had a fight with the hobgoblin leader guarding outside the stone gate.  After negotiation, he took out a gold coin as a deposit, and then, accompanied by another hobgoblin, entered the stone town.  Seeing Maize take out the gold coins as a deposit, Alvin understood that the goblins here were obviously not completely devoid of business vision. They must have selected some high-quality products from the stalls outside and put them in a relatively safe town.  Buying and selling, just like farmers' markets and boutiques, focuses on different consumer groups and can maximize profits.  Knowing that the transaction within the stone wall was at least one gold coin, Ivan naturally gave up the idea of ??going in to watch the excitement, casually walked to the stall next to him, and after asking a few questions in the underground common language that he had become quite proficient in, he got  I came to the conclusion that transactions here can generally be settled with bad currency, and the level is indeed low enough.  The so-called bad currency refers to some fur or metal lumps that are lower in value than gold and silver coins but circulate in large quantities and can be used as currency. They are common currencies for low-income people and are generally divided into hair and horn.  , divided into three types.  Generally speaking, one silver coin can be exchanged for ten complete gerbil skins, which is ten hairs, and five complete gerbil skins can be exchanged.?It can be exchanged for a polygonal metal block, that is, fifty cents is equal to one dime, and each dime can be exchanged for ten thin metal sheets, that is, one dime is equal to ten cents, and cents are the smallest unit of currency.  Depending on the region, demand, purity, type and weight of the metal block, the exchange ratio varies in each place.  In Maize¡¯s eyes, the Devil¡¯s Silver Coin is the smallest trading unit, so he doesn¡¯t even bother to stay on the periphery.  Ivan looked at the items on each stall like a fleeting glance. He just looked at them to open his eyes. From time to time, he also turned on his magic-like skills to see the potential of the goblins, and then despised each other with satisfaction. There was no  Not the slightest desire to shop.  This is easy to understand. Although the various things on the stall were miraculously washed clean by the goblin, who is famous for his laziness, and even decorated with some small mushrooms, as a person who has only been in this world for just one year, he  His ability to identify valuable items needs to be improved, and he is not yet suitable for entering the industry of picking up leaks. Even if his identification ability is sufficient - as a guy with a debt of nearly a hundred gold coins, he has to spend money to gamble on luck.  , Even if it is just a need for some bad coins?  Well, maybe there is a real need Squatting in front of a stall where the owner was shouting "Sell heirlooms at low prices with tears", Alvin held his head and painfully counted the bad coins in his pocket. Every time he counted,  It was as if his heart had been cut, and in front of him, an oval pebble with a black surface was resonating with a line of golden information in his consciousness: "Nodra, Balrog,  Specialty: Flame, potential 1/1 (179).¡±
