Otherworldly Gem Merchant

--

After seeing Dewey jumping into the lake in a cool way, Yan Xiu waited for a while but did not see Dewey appearing.Pursing his lips, Yan Xiu walked towards the lake.The lake, which was churning like boiling before, is very calm now, as if someone added a bowl of cold water to it, and it instantly calmed down.

Stepping on the dry and hard land with many small particles, Yan Xiu walked step by step towards the small lake with only half of the lake left.The closer the distance to the small lake, the faster the heartbeat of Yan Xiu.His eyes were fixed on the calm lake, alert to what might happen.

But when Yan Xiu walked to the lake, nothing happened.

Standing by the lake, Yan Xiu looked towards the bottom of the lake.The original lake water was not clear, and after being churned for a long time, it was even more turbid.Yan Xiu's plan to look through the lake to see what happened at the bottom of the lake was completely in vain.

Yan Xiu stared at the muddy lake water for a long time, his eyes were blurred.The turbid sand and dust are diffused and scattered at the bottom of the water. In the thick sand and dust, you can't see anything at all, and in the thinner sand and dust, you can vaguely see the bottom of the lake under the sand and dust.

Suddenly, Yan Xiu frowned.He didn't know if he had misread it, but he always felt that there was something black and slender moving in the water.The surface of the water was calm, but the bottom was not, so Yan Xiu didn't know whether the slender thing was moving by itself or following the current at the bottom.For a moment, he looked at the slender thing without moving.

There is a trace of white in the turbid bottom.

This trace of white suddenly appeared at the bottom of the turbid water, a little bit of white was not enough for Yan Xiu to see what it was.But that trace of white was actually moving, gradually revealing the whole picture from the sand and dust at the bottom of the water - it was a pale hand.

When he saw this hand, even Yan Xiu thought he was brave enough, but he froze for two seconds in shock.

The pale hand suddenly stretched forward, grabbing something forcefully.Yan Xiu only saw a long, black thread being firmly grasped by that pale hand.At the same time, the owner of the hand was exposed to Yan Xiu's sight, it was Dewey.When he saw that it was Dewey, Yan Xiu was really relieved.When I was glad that Dewey was fine, I felt very complicated.

Dewey at the bottom of the water raised his head and glanced at the lake, maybe he saw Yan Xiu standing by the lake, and he swam towards the lake while holding onto the unknown thread.

"Whoa."

Dewey got out of the water and climbed ashore with his body covered in water.

Yan Xiu looked at Dewey who was drenched all over and took two steps back to make room for Dewey.This time, he clearly saw the line that Dewey was holding. Both ends of the line were underwater, and it seemed that Dewey only pulled out the middle section.And this wire made Yan Xiu feel very familiar, because it was very similar to the wires of the 21st century.About the thickness of a finger, the outside of the circuit is a black rubber-like insulator.

Just why are there wires at the bottom of the water?

"What is this?" Yan Xiu stood beside Dewey, pointing to the wire.

"Mechanical circuit." Dewey answered very simply, raised his hand, and showed Yan Xiu the black wire in his hand. "Black goblin technology."

"Black goblins?" Yan Xiu has seen the race of 'goblins' countless times in novels, including black goblins.But the goblins in each world seem to be different, and the only thing they have in common is their attributes of green skin, greed for money, and timidity.

"A branch of goblins. They advocate mechanical technology and believe that mechanical technology can change the world. They once tried to create the 'gods' of the Fance continent, but they offended the Church of Light and were driven to the Brandt continent. It is said that they have been They are all continuing their research on the Brandt Continent, and now no one knows to what extent their research has reached." Dewey's tone was very flat, and he stated the matter about the black goblin without his own opinion.

"Because trying to create a 'god'?" Yan Xiu pointed to the wire in Dewey's hand, "What is this?"

"The highest technology of black goblins, mechanical creatures." Dewey firmly grasped the black wire in his hand.

"Mechanical creature?" Is it a machine or a creature?

"The machinery made by the black goblin is alive." Dewey lifted up the wire in his hand again, and finally made Yan Xiu notice the wire. "Live."

Yan Xiu couldn't believe his ears, even a mechanical creature that couldn't do it in the 21st century? The technology of robots that can be made in the 21st century is indeed very high, and some robots even seem to have a little bit of self-awareness, but these can only be called intelligent robots and not mechanical creatures.

The premise of living things is to have life.

As if to prove it to Yan Xiu, Dewey grabbed the wire in his hands and pulled it out forcefully, as if trying to break the wire.As soon as Dewey pulled the wire, there was movement in the lake immediately, and the thick and long tail jumped out of the lake, standing upright in the lake, alert to Dewey's movements.It seemed that he was going to slap Dewey in the face if something went wrong.

Yan Xiu silently took two steps to the side, distanced himself from Dewey.If he has no fighting power, he won't get involved.

It was too late and then it was too late, and Dewey's subordinates pulled the tail standing upright in the lake immediately.Even Dewey wouldn't feel good about being drawn by this tail.But Dewey stood motionless on the spot, he didn't even move even the tail had been swung in front of his eyes, but he only exerted more force in his hands.

Then, Yan Xiu saw that tail froze in front of Dewey.

What the hell is this?

Dewey tugged the wire in his hand expressionlessly, the tail froze and didn't move, Dewey tugged again, the tail retreated a certain distance.

Yan Xiu on the side looked a little speechless.

"Why did the mechanical creature appear here?" Looking at the tail that was deadlocked with Dewey, Yan Xiu couldn't understand the mentality of the person who put such a mechanical creature here.

"Guard." Dewey pursed his lips, his hands did not relax at all. "There are dead bodies at the bottom of the lake."

Although what Dewey said was so concise, Yan Xiu felt that he understood what Dewey meant in seconds.This mechanical creature is probably looking at this lake, there must be something in this lake.As for the travelers who came here to rest, they were probably all dragged to the bottom of the lake after being attacked unexpectedly by this thing.

Thinking that he drank the water from this lake, Yan Xiu's face almost twisted.

Dewey didn't pay attention to the state of Hughes on the side. His attention was on the wire in his hand and the tail that was frozen not far away.At the bottom of the lake, he found that this thing had no body at all, but was only connected to a diamond-shaped iron block.This wire was pulled out from under the diamond-shaped iron block.Ever since he was holding the string in his hand, this strip-shaped mechanical creature didn't dare to move around anymore.

It's just that Dewey didn't have the idea of ​​leaving this creature behind.

Thinking of this, Dewey's deep purple eyes showed a fierce light, and his subordinates were about to pull this thread, and the thing frozen in front of him was either moving forward or retreating——all trembling.

"Oh my! Stop it! Hey, stop it! Human!"

When Dewey was about to unplug the wire, a small thing suddenly got out of nowhere, and the dust covered it ran fast, blocking Dewey. "You can't do this! This is my mechanical creature!"

Yan Xiu looked at this thing that suddenly ran out.Less than the height of his thighs, whether it is the head, hands or feet, the whole is small, and there is a big fluffy beard on the chin.It wore a tall hat, and its clothes were unpatched, but covered with dry dust.It scattered in the air as it ran.

"Goblin." Dewey squinted at the little man standing in front of him, whose height was less than his thigh, "Is this yours?"

"Yes, this is my mechanical creature! You can't destroy it!" The goblin looked very angry, his green skin turned red, "You are so rude, how can you treat a mechanical creature like this! You don't know it How precious! . . . Oh, you stupid human being."

Dewey pulled the wire in his hand, and the green-skinned goblin immediately changed his words, "Oh no, please don't pay attention to what I said. I believe that as a human, you must be the best among humans. In fact, my mechanical The biology is also very good..."

"Master." Dewey ignored the goblin who was chattering endlessly, and turned his head to look at Yan Xiu, who had been standing aside and not speaking since just now.

Yan Xiu walked two steps to Dewey's side, only to find that the goblin was much shorter than he had imagined.And the goblins living on the Brandt Continent... "Black goblins?"

"Oh! It's really rude of you to say that! You can't call us black goblins, we just admire mechanical technology more, this can't be the reason for you to expel us. God, human beings always... Hey, hey, I Stop talking, please let go of your hand, please?" The goblin became nervous when he saw Dewey pulling the wire, and finally lost his temper.

In fact, it is very impolite for Yan Xiu to ask a goblin like this.It's like asking a human if you're white or yellow.It's just that Yan Xiu's common sense on the Si continent is too little, and he doesn't know that it's rude to say so.

"Why is your mechanical creature here?" Yan Xiu didn't practice Tai Chi with this goblin, but asked him directly.There is always a reason for a goblin to put his laboriously crafted mechanical creature here.

"This..." The goblin hesitated.

Dewey motioned the goblin to look at the wire in his hand.

The goblin sat down on the ground with a very frustrated expression, "Well, let me tell you, you humans are really hateful and cunning. But you must promise not to talk about this with anyone casually. Otherwise, you will be ruined. I won't tell you about my mechanical creatures either."

"Yes." Yan Xiu readily agreed to the goblin's request.

"You also know that we are expelled goblins—even if we can't understand why we were expelled. As goblins, our greatest dream is to be a mechanical creature that can stand shoulder to shoulder with 'God', and the Church of Light does not allow it .Hey, those old-fashioned guys will never allow anything to surpass their status. Not only did they banish us to Brandt, but they have been trying to kill the goblins. In their opinion, goblins are worse than dragons. "The goblin sitting on the ground chuckled, with a smug expression on his face, "Even though we are very weak, we are more terrifying than giant dragons."

The goblin didn't froze for long, and when he saw Dewey's fierce eyes, he immediately became wilted. "We have been hunted down by the Church of Light, and this is one of our strongholds. This is related to the lives of us goblins who have been expelled here, so I hope you can keep it secret. My mechanical creatures are level three, and they were originally placed here It's just to monitor the surrounding environment. Who would have thought that more and more races have come to Brandt in the past two years, and if one is not careful, there is a danger of being discovered."

So these goblins chose to kill these scattered races to prevent their stronghold from being discovered.

In this regard, Yan Xiu said that he could still accept it.He just needs to know the reason for the goblin to do this, and he will not point fingers at the goblin's behavior.

"Hey, don't you think it's cruel for us to do this? Kill these races that deserve to die because they came here." The goblin was very curious when he saw that the faces of the two humans in front of him hadn't changed.

"It has nothing to do with me." Yan Xiu said the truth.

No matter how many people were killed here, or whether they should be killed or not, this goblin killer has already killed, and he doesn't know the people who killed them, so he naturally doesn't take it to heart, let alone care about it.There is no such thing as cold-blooded, but this is the way of life of goblins.

"You are such a strange human." The goblin gave Yan Xiu a comment, "But I think a human like you is very good, and you will definitely be able to win the friendship of the goblin."

The goblin sitting on the ground saw that Yan Xiu and Dewey hadn't spoken again, and rolled his eyes, "Hey, why did you come to Brandt?"

As mentioned before, Brandt is a barren and desolate continent, and only expelled races and felons will survive on this continent.

"You guys, have you committed any crime?"
