Chapter 928 A Scepter

I admit that I am using half-truths and half- lies to fool the Goblin Clan Leader, but I do this out of necessity.

Just from the tone of voice, I can hear the goblin patriarch's admiration for Queen Ophelia. I have seen similar admiration in my previous life - the fanaticism of fans pursuing the emperor and superstar.

Knowing this kind of fanaticism, I can't tell her the truth, otherwise the goblin leader will definitely be angry with me, and the consequences will be embarrassing. After all, my trump card is still in the goblin leader's territory.

After hearing my words, the goblin leader fell into silence and did not respond for a long time.

I waited for nearly five minutes, but when she still didn't reply, and I couldn't disturb her or hang up the crystal, I had no choice but to hold the call crystal in one hand and walk towards the metal box.

On the metal box, the black outer film had disappeared, and the bright silver stainless steel shell appeared. I looked up and down, but couldn't find a place to open the box, so I communicated with Odachi in my mind and decided to open it. Open it violently.

I placed the Odachi flat on the metal box, and while carrying the killing intent, I asked it to help pay attention to the contents inside and make sure not to damage it.

The sharp edge of the Odachi cut through the box made of fine steel inch by inch, like cutting tofu, simple and easy.

When it was about six inches deep, the Odachi shouted stop. I immediately withdrew my murderous intent and asked it, "Have you seen what's inside?"

Odachi said: "You saw it, it seems to be a scepter?"

"The scepter?" I looked at the carvings on the wall and asked, "Is it the one held by the little glowing figure on the wall?"

"This is a difficult question for you," Odachi said, "The carvings and paintings on the wall are so rough. Who knows if this one and that one are the same!"

"That's right," I said hehely: "Let's cut open the metal box first, and then take out the scepter and then carefully identify the one on the carving."

After that, Odachi and I made several more cuts, completely cutting the upper layer of the metal box into several unrelated fine steel fragments. We put the fine steel fragments into the bag one by one. I saw the length of an arm. scepter.

I reached out and grabbed the scepter out of the box, and looked at it carefully: it was very light and smooth to the touch. It should be made of wood, with countless exquisite patterns carved on it, but I didn't fully appreciate these patterns. But one thing is for sure, these patterns are very similar to some of the ghost symbols on my arms.

"Let's test its hardness" Odachi suggested.

"OK."

I responded, held it and knocked it hard on the metal box, and it made a crisp sound. I picked it up and took a closer look. There were no cracks or marks left at the knocking place. Well, it was very hard.

"Would you like to try it with me?" Odachi suggested again.

"Forget it," I said, "After all, you are a sharp weapon, and it can only be regarded as a blunt weapon at best. It is very unfair to use a sharp weapon to chop a blunt weapon, and it is also a blunt weapon made of wood. No matter how you think about it, it is very unfair. .”

"Yeah" Odachi pondered for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable."

"Besides, this is a scepter that I bought with a mountain of jewels. I can't just destroy it casually."

"That's your plan"

"Of course I need to find someone to help identify what it is, estimate the price, and then make plans."

"Hey, it turns out that you, brat, are quite financially minded," Odachi said hehey.

Putting the scepter into my backpack, I decided to go home.

Odachi asked: "Don't you want to take another look?"

"I won't read it for today. I'm a little tired. I'll go back and take a shower and rest. I'll continue visiting the tomb after breakfast tomorrow."

Returning to the door of the tomb, I used my Odachi to chop the round rolling stone blocking the door into gravel. After chopping, the voice of the goblin leader came out of the call crystal again: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing? Why is it so noisy over there?”

"I'm paving the way, grandma, the patriarch."

"Open a road? What road to open?" Grandma, the patriarch, asked.

"The way back," I said, "when we were going down to the mausoleum, there was a big rolling stone blocking the road. I had to cut it into pieces."

"Oh" the goblin clan leader replied, she pondered for a while and said: "Xiaoyi, will you come to this mausoleum tomorrow?"

"I'll definitely come." Then, I sighed and said, "If I don't come, I won't even be able to pay the bill."

"Can't pay the bill?" The Goblin Clan Leader was very surprised: "Don't you have a close relationship with Master Dewey? You shouldn't be short of money, right?"

"Yeah, I shouldn't be short of money originally, but hey, the situation is special, I can only rely on my own money to pay off the bills."

"Then how much do you owe?" the patriarch asked.

"I owe tens of thousands of gold coins." I rubbed the bridge of my nose in distress.

"Why do you owe so much money?" the goblin leader asked in surprise.

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words."

Then, I explained the whole story clearly in the call crystal.

Hearing the end, the goblin clan leader laughed: "It turns out that it was because you hired a master who forged weapons to make a good weapon for yourself without permission, which aroused the jealousy of the guild members."

"Isn't that right?" I said angrily, "I'm telling you, even if Billy goes too far, my fiancées actually talk to him! Do you think I should be angry?"

The goblin leader chuckled: "If I were in their shoes, I would definitely turn to Billy."

"Why?" I asked puzzled.

"As long as you turn to Billy, you can get weapons made by famous people." The patriarch said, "But if you turn to you, you will get nothing."

"But I am their fiancé!"

"It is precisely because you are your fiancé that they can bully you like this," the patriarch said, "If it were anyone else, even if you beg them to be the referee, they may not agree."

"Now, from what you said, that's true."

"It must be" the goblin leader said: "When did my old lady tell lies?"

After chatting for a while, I was about to walk back to the tomb, so I stretched my waist and said, "Hey, I'm so tired. I'll go home and rest early. I'll continue to rob the tomb tomorrow."

The goblin clan leader suddenly fell silent. After a long time, she said: "Xiaoyi, can you come to my place first?"

"What are you doing?"

"I want to hear about Your Majesty Ophelia."

"I'm afraid this won't work, Grandma Patriarch," I said, "I will continue to go to the mausoleum to rob tombs tomorrow. I have to go home early to rest today."

"Can't you even spare some time?"

I sighed and said, "Grandma, please understand. I just want to pay off the bill this morning. I will talk to you about other things after I have saved up the money. What do you think?"

After a moment of silence, the goblin leader said: "If I can help you repay the amount on the bill, can you come over tonight and tell me everything you saw about Her Majesty Ophelia?"
