Chapter 72
These goblins do not smell bad. This is the first time Claudius smelled odorless goblins. Claudius looked up. He saw Brittany on the other side. He motioned Brittany to come over. “Where did you get these goblins?” Claudius asked Brittania.
The female Red Dragon glanced at those goblins for a few seconds. Then, she gave Claudius an answer: “This is just a group of goblins. There is nothing special about them. Who has the time to remember where the goblins came from? Aren’t these just regular goblins? “Claudius thought about it for a few seconds. “She is right. These are just regular goblins. It isn’t even worth the time of a dragon to record where they came from.” “Since the elves are retreating, I will leave first. I have something to do.” You know my name, and you have enough power to call me through spells. OK? Very well, I’ll leave first then."
Claudius found some iron bars and welded the bars into a large cage. In the end, he stuffed all the goblins into the cage. He then grabbed the cage and flew to the sky. The mighty Red Dragon took off again, causing a commotion in the elves’ fortress. As the Red Dragon swept over their heads and disappeared into the sky, the tumult gradually subsided.
Claudius spent a day to return to Hell Island. He landed in the temple doorway, tore open the iron cage, and released the goblins. These goblins are not the same as regular goblins. “It’s a different kind of goblin,” the Red Dragon said. Then, he looked at the Minerva who had stood at the door of the temple. She was arranging supplies for the goblins to make their nests in the crater.
These goblins buried corpses instead of eating them, which is the second thing Claudius observed. The goblins took great interest in various machines that the flame mushroom people built. The goblins were 10 times more interested in the machines than the mushroom people. Red Dragon’s Hell Island is extremely hot because of Ambry ‘s anger. There are torrential rain and wind on the island. Because of this, the place is a magic tower where people can absorb a lot of magical elements and it is a good place to practice spells. The elements here are extremely active. It even reached a level that affects the local organisms. The island’s continuous towering trees are the same. They are just ordinary trees, which have been in place since the seabirds brought the seeds to the island. These trees have also mutated.
The fire mushroom people are actually a plant variation. These kinds of variation started to affect the goblins. The Red Moss plant, which was originally located near the crater, was like a living creature. When the goblin “snapped” the plant, a new moss grew near the goblin. Then the moss grew on the goblins’ body and infected all the nearby goblins. Claudius heard a report from the Dragon soldiers who controlled the goblins. The goblins who were infected by Moss had died————————————————— All kinds of accidents are not unexpected. Of course, most of the goblins fall apart and explode … The goblins are not the same as the fire mushroom people. Their first improvement is using the power source. The mushroom people are powered by human power, sometimes with water, but the goblins use a variety of fire power sources–such as steam–one of the most common sources of power to start with.
The goblins did not die. Claudius never received Brittany’s call, but he was told that the recent progress of Sylvia’s army had been very good. They gradually approached the Elves’ city. But there was a little trouble recently. There were some Druids and Rangers that formed squads and attacked the Orc army. They oftenly attacked the Orc scouts and logistics units. According to the remnants of the dead, it seems that they are called Harp League. “The name sounds a little familiar?” “Claudius always felt as if he had heard of such an organization, but it seemed that Sylvia and Brittany didn’t pay any attention to the guerrilla organization.” So Claudius had enough time to observe the mutation of the goblins–
Goblins were mutating at a very fast rate. This is also the first time Claudius sees the moss infecting other organisms. Obviously, the dragon teeth soldiers and mushroom people did not get infected by the moss. The symptoms of the infection are high fever and loss of sanity. About one month later, the goblins didn’t die from the infection-“it seems that mosses are living in their bodies?” Wait a minute! Is this supposed to be exothermic? Are these mosses made of nuclear materials? “Claudius was surprised. But, distinguishing these things from alpha, beta and gamma rays is something Claudius cannot do.
When these goblins wake up, the high fever has receded, but their bodies are left with a permanent red birthmark-like traces. Each one of the goblins had different marks. Claudius also found new species of men in his property: burning goblins.
In these guys descriptions, it says that they are good at engineering and inventing … But the concrete description is vague, “is this because their final mutation has not been completed?”
Claudius shook his head and felt that it was possible that the Goblin’s lair had not yet been completed, and that their attributes were not yet fully revealed.
But there was another surprise–the mushroom people also appeared to have the same heroic unit as Minerva …
