Hidden task: precursor to crash.

After accepting Connery's commission, a new hidden mission appeared.

Signs of a crash? Is the goblin clan going to collapse so early? Don't even hold on to the day when the Necromancers fight? Ding Meng was a little confused. But no matter what, once the mission is started, there is no turning back.

In order to assist Ding Meng as much as possible, Connery gave him all the conveniences and allowed him to move in any area of ​​the glorious city.

What Ding Meng firmly believes is that when he accepted this task, Prince Maxim must also know, and if he is really involved in this matter, then he will definitely try to stop him.

The task will never go so smoothly.

What's more terrible is that Ding Meng didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Xiao Ai did not become a bystander this time, but provided Ding Meng with a very good clue: In the Indkamo Manor in the City of Glory, the owner Ervin Indkamo there ——The Prime Minister of the empire holds a grand banquet every night, and if Maxim, as one of the princes, has an attempt to the throne, he will definitely find ways to get close to the Prime Minister who has a lot of power.

Ding Meng may be able to make a breakthrough there...

A human adventurer appeared in the goblin's royal city, and it did not cause much sensation. As the richest race, there are so many kinds of creatures who want to come here to find opportunities. Humans are just one of them.

Of course, it is not so easy to enter the prime minister's manor.

Especially the guard at the entrance of the manor. The heavily armed soldiers saw the two human adventurers approaching, their weapons were already raised.

There were rows of bows and crossbows, and the leader of the captain of the guard said to Ding Meng rudely: "Hey, dirty human adventurer, this is the noble Indkamo Manor. It is not for you to come in. of."

The goblins of this period have a natural sense of superiority, even humans are "dirty" in their eyes.

Ding Meng is also a little used to it: "Please inform the Prime Minister, I am the guardian of the two worlds, Baron Night. And your King has granted me privileges. I can enter anywhere in the glorious city."

I don't know if it was because of "the guardian of the two worlds" or "the privilege granted by His Majesty the King", the captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, and soon went in to report.

A few minutes. I saw a goblin appear surrounded by a large group of goblins.

"The guardian of the two worlds, Lord Baron Night. Welcome to my manor." The leading goblin said. Then he showed his identity, Elvin, the prime minister of the goblin clan: "Although humans are unpopular here, you are an exception. In my manor. You will be one of the most honored guests. "

This is the first time Ding Meng and Dongdong have seen a goblin family banquet, and it is also the first time they have seen what a truly luxurious banquet is.

Even the wine glasses are made of crystal, and the wine is filled in, revealing a charming brilliance.

Those goblin men and women who have seen the banquet are all dressed luxuriously. What's more, there are even goblins decorating their clothes with a lot of diamonds.

That's a real diamond!

Ding Meng felt that he was not comfortable with such a banquet. Looking at Dongdong around him, he seemed to be the same as himself.

"Your Excellency, I hope everything here can satisfy you." Although his height is only Ding Meng's waist, Irwin doesn't seem to care at all: "Of course, I know that you are here not just because of the banquet. "

"Oh, why is that?" Ding Meng asked back.

"Don't forget, Lord Baron." Irvine smiled: "I am the prime minister of the goblin clan. I know many things, such as why you appeared in the glorious city, such as what you said to your honorable majesty in the palace Something. Several princes died strangely. Your Majesty hopes to find out what happened. And your appearance is the best opportunity. You are the dark baron, the guardian of the two worlds, no one compares You are more suitable for this job."

Ding Meng no longer concealed anything: "Then Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter? Will you give me the necessary support?"

Irvine was silent for a while: "I am the prime minister of the empire. Anything that happens here has something to do with me. I want to see the eternal prosperity of the goblin clan. I don't want to see cannibalism and civil strife, so Within my abilities, I will do my best to support you...Prince Maxim? If I am not wrong, the first object of your Majesty's suspicion must be Prince Maxim. To be honest, Maxim The prince is a very promising one among many princes, and his character may also do some terrible things, but he is not the only suspect...for example, look there..."

He pointed to the center of the dance floor, where a young goblin was dancing a strange but cheerful dance with a few female companions.

"He is your Majesty's youngest son, Tulam." Irwin introduced: "He likes all misunderstandings, and all the beautiful girls in the goblin clan. He can drink alcohol here all night, and then Jump on a song with every goblin girl present. In everyone's eyes, he is a playboy, but as far as I know, he is the smartest of so many princes, not one of them."

Prince Tulam seems to have endless energy. If he is a goblin, even a human being, he will be exhausted after a night of revelry. But the prince only needs a brief rest, and soon he will be able to devote himself to work.

He is a good friend of the Prime Minister, and at the same time maintains a friendly relationship with the minister of finance of the goblin tribe, and many ministers are his good friends.

"He is also a favorable contender for the throne." Irwin said slowly: "Is he suspect? Of course he did. The death of Prince Hughes... Ah, that's the prince who was poisoned to death by alcohol... that day. In the evening, Prince Thuram and Prince Hughes were drinking together...As for Prince Rice who died in the carriage crash, the carriage was actually given by Prince Thuram..."

Ding scratched his head, so that the suspicion of Prince Tulam is much bigger than Prince Maxim...

However, Irvine immediately pointed his hand to a goblin who stood in the corner and stared coldly at the banquet, but never skipped a dance from the beginning to the end: "That's Prince Gerak, your majesty's third son. He holds the most elite guard in the City of Glory. He was unanimously optimistic about the succession to the throne by the ministers a long time ago, and he also married the daughter of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire as his wife. He has no bad hobbies and doesn't like it. He dances, doesn't like women, doesn't party all night, and even lives a life of almost asceticism, but is he not suspicious?

Dear Lord Baron, a man with no special hobbies has one thing more attractive to him, power! His guards adored him crazily. In several wars, he took the lead and shared the ups and downs with the soldiers, thus establishing a high reputation in the army. You know, this is the most taboo of a king, even if this man is his son. Where is his suspicion? Although he doesn't like drinking, he gave Prince Hughes a lot of fine wine... and the driver who drove for Prince Rice was also personally selected by him..."

Ding Meng didn't know what to say.

I thought that Prince Maxim had the greatest suspicion, so I only needed to focus on investigating him, but what I didn't expect was that two princes appeared one after another, and it seemed that the suspicion was even greater.

"If this matter is really easy to investigate, your majesty will not be so upset." Irwin seemed to have something to say: "These princes are both suspects and heirs to the future throne. Some of them hold goblins. The clan’s financial power, and some have military power, who do you think is qualified to investigate? Even if some truth is discovered, who dares to really investigate it?"

Ding Meng understood the meaning of Irwin's words.

This is a hot potato, so even if there are countless clues, no one in the goblin clan wants to investigate. What can I find out? After all, they are all sons of the Goblin King. In case it is impossible to find out, once one of them ascends the throne in the future, what impact will it have on his own destiny and future?

So this hot potato was handed over to Ding Meng's hands.

"Your Excellency, I think you probably also know the history of the goblin clan." Irwin sighed in a low voice: "We used to be determined to make progress and sacrifice and dedication. No matter how difficult the task is, countless people are willing to take on it. But be ours. We have accumulated more and more wealth, and our lives have become more and more comfortable. Our determination and this enterprising have long since disappeared. Pleasure, endless balls... Not long ago, the goblin tribe and the ogre tribe The war broke out. We relied on the new weapons accumulated by our predecessors and the soldiers' spirit of fighting bravely. We won another victory, but this time it was a tragic victory. 30,000 goblin troops were lost on the battlefield. It is a sacrifice that has never been made. But our noble lords have held dances again and again because of such tragic victories, as if this is something to be proud of."

Ding Meng's gaze fell on him: "Then what about you? Aren't you also holding a grand ball?"

"Yeah, I'm also holding it." A bitter expression appeared on Irvine's face: "Because I am the prime minister of the goblin clan, I have to get along with many things, otherwise I will not be able to do anything here."

Ding Meng suddenly understood that this was the sorrow of a goblin prime minister.
