Twenty Sided Dice

? Perhaps only a goblin controlled by a spell can communicate properly with it, and the spell teaches him obedience, affection, and trust. Those three qualities, combined with his wealth and a pass to the big city, kept the fat goblin temporarily alive in front of Siegel, so Siegel took two seconds to ask his name: Gru.

"For you, my brave bounty hunter, I will go directly to Star City. The fastest way to get there is by plane, or a high-speed train, but you don't have an ID card on you." The fat goblin used the remaining teeth While chewing the mushrooms, he said to "Taka": "I have already ordered to go ahead and get a copy for you as soon as possible, so don't be impatient, I will accompany you in the car and pass the time on the road."

Not killing Gru was the right choice, and Siegel slowly realized that Earth was a completely different world. If the frozen snowfields were seen as a barren land west of the Walled Mountains, then the Star City would be more complex than the Elves' realm of the Eternal Tree. ID cards, bank accounts and unique communication numbers have replaced complex titles and family names as symbols of a person's identity.

The goblins are divided into four classes: the high class who have the potion of youth, the second class who use the potion to serve the high class, the third class who serve the second class, and the wildlings without identification. There is a three-level difference between Gru and Taka, so Gru would never compromise with Taka before, and he would never have such an awareness.

A goblin's lifespan is usually only forty years, and the last ten years can only be regarded as surviving due to the loss of physical vitality. The Elixir of Youth doubles the goblin's lifespan and completely eliminates the old stage, allowing the goblin to stay alive. Gru has used the Elixir of Youth three times, and has ten others hidden in his most secret and safe fortress. Only the living Gru can take out those potions, and only potions can maintain a stable relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Siegel immediately thought of destroying the elixir of youth and thus destroying the social structure of goblins, but he soon discovered that was not feasible. Every goblin kingdom has dozens or even hundreds of potion manufacturing sites. As long as the corresponding resources are provided, even a savage can have a potion and become a superior person. "It takes the lives of twenty young goblins to make one potion." Gru said: "And a lively Zoff can make about thirty potions, which can instantly triple my wealth!"

"Apart from the goblins and Zoff?"

No goblin would ask such a question. But the spell prevents Gru from having any doubts. Even if Siegel said he was a goblin as light as a swallow who could walk on water. Gru would also believe it without hesitation. So no matter how "irrational" Siegel's question is, Gru will answer truthfully.

"It must be an intelligent creature. Things like pigs and sheep have been proven not to be used to make a youth potion." Gru handed Siegel a glass of sweet wine, and he drank a full glass, which was considered to moisten his dry throat. . The fat goblin kept talking, answering Siegel's questions—he had never spoken for so long at once in his life. "Many animals used to have certain intelligence, but they couldn't keep up with the demand for pharmaceutical production and were naturally eliminated. Isn't it a pity?"

yes. What a pity? Goblins become adults in the fourth year after birth, and it only takes four months to reproduce the next generation, with two or three births at a time. This speed ranks among the best among the "command" races, only slightly slower than the kobolds. Perhaps only this speed can prevent the goblin from being "unfortunately" too.

The high birth rate can be used to create the Elixir of Youth, which also creates a scarcity of the Elixir of Youth. Only a very few goblins have access to a potion. Although it took more than 40 years to take one, the killing among the same kind has been going on. Depending on how the killing is organized, goblins create different nations. They developed various weapons, step by step, until today. The most powerful country has access to the most resources, and whoever tries to raise an objection is either prepared to fight it out. Or it will become a resource for making potions.

"Tell me, Gru. Are there any instances where the conflicting parties stopped and went back to their pre-conflict state?"

"Why. Are they stupid?" Gru laughed at the question, then said, "The only way I can sleep is if my enemies are gone. Everyone thinks so, so no one will stop Down here. Taka, what you're talking about happens only in legends, in that ignorant, dark age, when goblins lived like rats."

Siegel wanted to know what the era was like, but Gru could only tell fragments of the story, not the evolution of history. Instead, he has an appetite for how to satisfy himself. I know very well how to maintain the stomach with various alcohols. Every time he passed a town, he would fill the carriage with food. Especially all kinds of game.

"There aren't many of these animals, so eat them quickly," Gru always said. "Only the most powerful and rich can enjoy it. Come on taka. Try it."

Siegel shook his head, sitting in the carriage without stopping. There are all kinds of electrical equipment on the earth, just like Nexus' Void Battleship. Using extremely tiny primitives, the goblins built objects that could help with all kinds of calculations, and a "star web" connected all the information.

The so-called star **** is the star net. Although it is talked about by goblins, it is not a real god. Siegel gradually learned about the world, he had the legend of the creator god, he had true belief, and there was a variety of creatures living together. Now the goblins have mastered powerful powers, some of which have long surpassed the limits of nature, and some of which are familiar.

Gru gave Taka a "mobile phone", "the only communication number fn-2188", and the fat goblin said: "Your ID card and bank account will be ready soon."

Isn't that what you see in your dreams? In a world made of steel and lightning, people eat poisonous food with relish and donate their souls to the glowing gods in their hands every day. It turns out that everything is true, but it is not human, but goblins.

He was a little confused. Did he come to a dream, or was he influenced by this world and had a dream? He watched Gru eat raw caviar with his fat lips, flushing them down his stomach with dark-brown blueberry wine. Blood-like liquor ran down the corners of his mouth, imprinting on the goblin's feces-yellow skin. The sight made Siegel feel sick to his stomach, and even the two body organs could not resist the urge to vomit.

"You should rest more, motion sickness is hard to stop." The fat goblin licked the grease on his mouth while watching Taka vomit: "Although I am not as strong and flexible as you, I am very stable. I live a long time and see Many, think long-term, so you must listen to me. After you arrive at Star City, you can follow me, and you can see other places except the Star Network Center. But after the tour is over, you have to work for me , in charge of protecting me and clearing out the inferiors who tried to climb on me."

Gru's self-talk is just the effect of spells, hints and charms have formed a complete set of logic in his mind, and it is very difficult to break out of the trap of logic. Gru wants Taka to serve him, this is just his own wishful thinking, a pavilion built on fantasy.

Usually Gru would be immersed in this fantasy, dreaming his own dreams over and over again. The power of the spell deepens in the process, until the suggestion becomes reality. Only when Siegel asks a question will he invoke the real power of thinking to answer Siegel's question.

"Tell me, how does the phone connect to the star network when there is no line?"

"By some kind of electrical signal permeating the air, I don't know the specifics." Gru replied casually: "Learning knowledge is what second-class goblins need to do, and only they can answer questions like this. Man, I only need to care about governance, management, and finding enough materials to make the potion of youth. It's a pity I couldn't catch that Zoff this time, how did you say he died?"

"He has a gunshot wound, the wound is over, and even maggots don't want to eat him." Siegel didn't want to say more about this, so he brought the topic back to the phone. He learned how to use the tool and knew that as he approached town there was a signal of the star network connection. In order to be able to capture this signal, he constantly adjusted his sense of elemental fluctuations and meditated deeply again and again.

When he turned his senses into the sharpest state, he finally "see" a new world. Countless radio waves travel through the air, forming a huge network that connects all mobile phones. Through the screen and emoticons, information, consultation and knowledge are connected to each other, which instantly shortens the distance between all individuals.

At the same time, it also makes the mind closer, and the speed of the interaction between goblins and goblins is also invisibly accelerated. An emotion can instantly go from one goblin's phone to another goblin, and then quickly infect him, like some kind of spell effect.

The Knox Common Society has conducted research ~www.readwn.com~ that the speed of emotional transmission is related to the distance between two people. The more they distrust each other, the farther the two stand when they talk. Only the closest people can get close to the "half arm" range, which is the range of trust. And when the goblins use their mobile phones, they are only half an arm away from the information, and the invisible trust is created in this way, which is very consistent with the theory of the Knox Common Society.

The emoji on the phone screen is like the frenzied laughter circle around the red spire. The portrait of the smiling man hanging on the wall of the mage tower involuntarily affects the mood of the viewer. Reinforced by the spell, fictional emotions resonate, feel safe and at peace. Siegel lit his eyes with glowing screens when he saw the goblins in town idling, laughing at the glass, crying at the glass. He remembered the goblin hunter who cut his throat, the poisoned hotel owner and the goblin bodyguard who shot him, but he had never seen a goblin who was not pious or loving when facing his phone.

This is the largest mind control spell in the world, and Knox's spell is nothing compared to it. Siegel finally understands how tyrannical, evil, and chaotic goblins make up a stable society: the Celestial God is not a god, but a legendary spell capable of becoming a god.

Part of the power of the spell penetrated the crystal wall barrier, affecting the twenty-sided dice still at the bottom of the sea, and told Siegel about the state of the earth before Siegel was born. This is his dream, and the world dream of all goblins. (To be continued.)
