Chapter 37 Treasure Stealing Goblin

[Treasure Stealing Goblins are greedy and vicious creatures. They will steal everything that looks valuable, especially gold and silver products, gems, glassware, and even anything that shines.

They seem to have some mysterious perception and have a keen sense of smell for those cherished items (I paid a heavy price to draw this conclusion).

The treasure thief goblin carries a strange dimensional pocket and collects all property along the way. After sensing the danger, the treasure thief goblin will open a portal to leave. The destination of the portal is not clear. It may be a random place in the world or a special dimension where they live.

If you can successfully catch a treasure thief goblin, the other party will try to exchange its freedom with one of its collections. If you are lucky, you may be able to exchange for a magic item. Killing a treasure thief goblin may cause unpredictable consequences. I have not tried this...]

This thing actually has teleportation ability, which reminds Sean of a little monster in a certain game, but what does it mean to 'kill the treasure goblin may cause unpredictable consequences'? Could it be that there is any background for this thing? If you kill it, you will be retaliated for it?

Since Medorian didn't dare to try, Sean thought about it and still felt that it would be better not to kill unless it was absolutely necessary. Anyway, what he wanted was money.

The conditions for summoning treasure robbers are more complicated than those for short goblins.

[The beloved item is made of gold and silver, placed in the dark and deep place, at a moment when no one is watching]

Sean searched his family's assets and found that there were a lot of gold and silver products, such as gold and silver coins, which had a full bag.

However, there are not many people who can be regarded as their favorite things, and there are only three items in total.

First of all, it is his professor badge, which is a symbol of his academic identity and is of great significance to him.

The second one is his gilded pocket watch, which is quite expensive in both practicality and value. It is a symbol of social status in this era. This is the first time he bought it when he received the royalties. It has been with the revolver for many years.

As for the third one, it was a ruby ​​gold ring. This thing was a family heirloom handed down by his cheap mother. It was of little significance to him, but it was of great significance to his ex. He occasionally took it out to appreciate it, and he had some feelings.

As for other things, they are either not beloved or made of gold and silver.

So that is to say, I have at least three chances to catch this treasure thief goblin.

What makes Sean feel more uncomfortable is the two elements, the dark and deep place, and the moment when no one is watching. In other words, when summoning, you cannot stare at your beloved thing and have to turn your back to it. In that case, how can you know whether the treasure thief appears?

Moreover, this treasure thief can open a portal. If he reacts slowly, he may not know how to throw it away if he loses the things.

But after careful consideration, Sean decided to summon the treasure thief goblin. Although there is a certain risk in summoning the treasure thief goblin, at most if he fails, he will lose some property. In contrast, if he can get one or two magic items from the treasure thief goblin, he will make a lot of money. He has personally experienced the magic of the Spirit Water.

If you want to do it, Sean directly opened the cellar of the mansion and set it up inside.

Cellars can be used to store materials and avoid danger when necessary. In this era when it has just left the shadow of war, they are essential facilities for many ancient castles and manors.

According to the requirements in the book, summoning treasure thieves must be in a dark environment, and the cellar site just meets the requirements.

The mansion's cellar is very spacious, with stone-paved floors and solid walls, enough to serve as a scene for the summoning ceremony.

Summoning in such a closed environment is naturally extremely beneficial to him. There is only one door in the basement. Once the door is sealed, the treasure-stealing goblin will not go anywhere. It is simply catching a turtle in a jar.

The only thing that made Sean afraid of was its teleportation ability, but as stated in the book, it would take several seconds to open the portal. As long as you move quickly and prepare well, you can catch the treasure goblin before it escapes.

Sean also arranged some mechanisms in the cellar. First, he hung a huge iron cage on the ceiling. As long as the mechanism is pulled and the cage falls off, the treasure-stealing goblin can be locked inside.

Then he prepared another throwing net, which was used by the Nords to catch wild boars and reindeer. It was very tough. There was a pendant made of iron balls tied to the eight corners of the net. As long as it was thrown out and covered, it would rotate and spread. Once it was trapped by the net, it would definitely not be able to escape.

Finally, it was his gun. Although Sean didn't want to kill casually, if he really couldn't catch it, then use bullets to solve it. Anyway, it's enough not to shoot the vital points.

It took Sean about two days to prepare all this and then he was ready to start summoning.

Close the basement door and lit two torches to light it. He didn't dare to make the basement too bright, otherwise it would be inconsistent with the dark and deep requirements. Sean checked the mechanism and put the net at hand to make sure that everything was fine. He put the ring under the iron cage.

With his back to the ring, Sean began to chant the spell.

【The weak existence from a distant country.】

[Cunning mind, sneaky body, greedy heart, thief who ignores his life for treasure]

[I show you with my beloved things, I tempt you with precious things, I wary you with my guardian heart]

[In the name of the contract signed by you and my tribe and the ancient times.]

[I order you to appear in this world.]

He recited loudly, and the sound echoed in the basement. When the last sentence was finished, a few seconds later, an excited scream suddenly sounded behind him - "Hey hey!"

Sean quickly turned his head and saw a little monster with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek appear next to the ruby ​​ring. Needless to ask, he would be a treasure thief goblin.

It looks three-part similar to the short goblin. It is also naked and wrapped around its waist with a piece of rag. The difference is that the treasure troupe is very thin, with a cloth pocket behind it, staring at the ring with a stingy eyebrows and a stingy look, looking at the ring with its eyes shining, and looking at it with a humble expression.

Its alert little eyes were stroking around. When it saw the ruby ​​ring, its eyes lit up and rushed towards the ruby ​​ring on the ground.

Sean thought to himself that you were waiting for. As soon as he pulled the rope, the trap above his head fell down. However, the goblin was extremely fast. The moment he grabbed the ring, he did not pause at all. He rushed over with a rub. The iron cage fell, but he didn't even cover his hair.

Sean cried out inwardly, grabbed the throwing net beside him and swung it hard. The goblin rushed towards the darkness of the cellar.

"Don't run!" Sean instinctively roared, and after roaring, he realized that this behavior was a bit stupid, just like when the villain in the movie always shouted "Don't move" when facing the protagonist, and the protagonist often took the opportunity to kill the subordinate with one shot. The treasure-stealing goblin really had no intention of stopping.

Sean suddenly threw the net in his hand over, but compared to the speed of the treasure-stealing goblin, the net's flying scene was as slow as slow motion. It was easily dodged by the other party and rushed directly into the darkness ahead.

Sean was a little worried about seeing this thing. It was too fast, so he could not give it time to open a portal. He hurriedly chased after him, pulling his gun while chasing. In the darkness, he found the goblin's movement position. It was drawing circles in the air with its claws. The golden light appeared in the air in front of it, and circled, gradually formed a golden portal, which was only half a meter high, just enough to allow it to break through.

Sean was anxious and raised his hand and shot him. However, it was a jealous weapon. The shot flew over the opponent's head. The treasure-stealing goblin was startled, but it did not prevent it from running away. He jumped and fell into the portal and disappeared.

The portal disappeared immediately.
