Chapter 971: Chapter 607: Roscoe’s Loyalty_2 Chapter 971: Chapter 607: Roscoe’s Loyalty_2 “To be honest, whoever owns this crown is the king of the Thorny Kingdom, and due to the fact that the crown was lost in the sealed Endless Passage, there hasn’t been a king in the Thorny Kingdom for more than 500 years.”
With a helpless shake of his head, Roscoe spoke with a tinge of sadness.
He wouldn’t have any reservations about the human in front of him, who saved his life.
After a pause, as if he realized sothing, Roscoe tentatively asked: “Honorable one, do you intend to reign over the Thorny Kingdom? You are my great benefactor. If you could lead this kingdom to prosperity, I would be willing to assist with all my strength!”
“I have no such plan. You will be the king of the Thorny Kingdom.”
With a slight wave of his hand, Leo Ray did not hesitate to hand the crown to Roscoe and said with a faint smile: “And I will help you achieve all of this.”
“This…?!”
As he dumbly received the shining golden crown, Roscoe was choked with emotion and eventually shed tears of excitent.
This ancestral crown had been lost for more than five hundred years.
Generation after generation of his Goblin Royal Family had been searching for it for more than five hundred years.
Every Goblin Crown Prince tried to break through the Endless Passage, hoping to behold the glory of their ancestor, reclaim their ancestor’s glory, and ultimately let their ancestor rest in this magnificent underground city.
That ancestor was the pioneer of this magnificent city. With unparalleled courage, he was the first to step into the Endless Passage and deserved the grandest burial and mourning.
However, generation after generation of Goblin Crown Princes went from their pri to having white long ears, all without success.
Now, the crowning power of the Thorny Kingdom, and the Thorn Crown that carries the courage of that pioneering ancestor, have finally returned to his hands!
What an honor and glory this was! It was enough for him, the Goblin Crown Prince, to leave a glorious mark in the history of the Thorny Kingdom!
And all of this had been bestowed by the human in front of him.
How would he ever repay such a great act of kindness?!
On the other hand, looking at the excited Goblin Crown Prince in front of him, Leo Ray knew the timing was right and then briefly inford Roscoe about his Otherworldly Lord status and the strength of his subordinates.
“So that’s how it is… My lord’s power is indeed extraordinary, far beyond any common people!”
After listening to Leo Ray’s introduction, Roscoe was shocked and then bowed down to Leo Ray without any hesitation: “This subordinate, Roscoe Thorn, swears to serve Lord faithfully! The Thorny Kingdom is willing to stand or fall together with the Lord!”
“Very well, ti is pressing, let’s sign the contract right away.”
Nodding with satisfaction, a silver Tier 3 Recruitnt Order had already appeared in Leo Ray’s palm.
In no ti at all, the familiar prompt sounded in Leo Ray’s ear.
[Congratulations, Tier 3 Nine-Star Goblin Druid Roscoe Thorn has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and has beco your new subordinate!]
“Apart from the two submissive races, the Moon Wolf Tribes’ Burt, Bertrand, Celia, and the god-created Leah, this is the first ti I have wholly subjugated a foreign race.”
Thinking of this in his heart, Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction, helped up the still-excited Goblin Crown Prince, and opened his attribute column.
[Na: Roscoe]
[Occupation: Goblin Druid]
[Rank: Tier 3 Nine-Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Root Tangle ‘Active’ (Plant-based group confinent spell, with silence effect)]
[Skill 2: Thorn Prick ‘Active’ (Plant-based group buff spell, with bleeding effect to the active attacker)]
[Skill 3: Earth’s Rejuvenation ‘Active’ (Plant-based group healing spell, rapidly healing target and purifying negative effects)]
[Skill 4: Healing Druid ‘Passive’ (Moderate increase in damage when using plant-based healing spells)]
“So, he’s a Druid? Another new occupation.”
Gazing at the words in the attribute column, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.Through a deepening understanding of this world, Leo Ray beca increasingly aware.
Druids were capable of manipulating the power of the forest and shared a subtle similarity with nature magicians.
However, unlike nature magicians who focused on attack, druids were one of the few all-around professions.
They could embody a mage, focusing on spell attacks, use the power of healing to treat companions, or even transform themselves into beasts, becoming powerful warriors.
Of course, druid cultivation was vast and profound, and most could only focus on one or two aspects; otherwise, they would only overreach themselves.
In other words, even with extraordinary talent, it was impossible to beco a true “hexagon” warrior.
“This goblin prince, or rather, the soon-to-be goblin king, obviously focuses on healing and auxiliary spells,” Leo Ray said after closing Roscoe’s attribute column.
By this point, he had evidently achieved another important objective.
“If I can incorporate this goblin’s Thorny Kingdom into my control, it will undoubtedly join forces with the Dragon’s Lair to beco a powerful ally against the Second Prince!”
“Although the goblins’ regular army is weaker than that of the humans, it is more than enough to deal with a rear reserve force and militia.”
“Once the right mont arrives, and the gates of Dragon’s Lair open, this goblin troop will undoubtedly penetrate deep into the heart of the Second Prince’s power.”
“I rember Ariel ntioning that during Hero King Simon’s unification of the Coldfla, he had also enlisted the help of several foreign races, including the notorious half-orcs and Lizardn. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any problems on that front given the precedents.”
As Leo Ray was thinking about this, a crisp mind-talk prompt sounded.
Upon connecting, Ariel’s voice ca through, “My Lord, I have successfully rescued Benson, the Lord of the Dragon’s Lair, and am now heading to the designated location! The goblins’ release cage was more solid than expected!”
“Understood. I’ve just finished up on my end as well. Let’s et at the designated location.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray handed a brand-new invisibility cloak to Roscoe and smiled, “Now it’s ti to go to the execution site to et the goblin pri minister.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Upon hearing this, all four people and one goblin subordinate simultaneously bowed and said in unison.
In just a short while, Leo Ray t up with Ariel and her party, along with Benson, in the side hall behind the gates of the underground prison.
At this mont, Leo Ray looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged man also wearing an invisibility cloak and couldn’t help but reveal a surprised expression.
The man’s exposed skin was almost entirely covered in scars, which made him look quite ferocious.
However, unexpectedly, although his skin was full of scars, it was very fair, exuding an air of morbid elegance quite distinct from the rough complexion of the half-orcs.
“Quite a character, this ‘Skull-Crushing Madman’ Benson, huh? He’s quite different from what I had imagined,” Leo Ray thought, rembering the rumors Hode had heard.
On the other side, seeing the calm and composed Leo Ray, Benson’s face full of scars showed even greater astonishnt.
When Ariel and the others rescued him, he imdiately recognized Burt, who had once visited the Dragon’s Lair, and then quickly guessed the identity of Ariel, the Fifth Princess, and Joshua.
However, before he could figure out why the princess and two generals of the kingdom would appear there, he heard the princess calling a mysterious “My Lord” on the communication channel!
And, the man standing before him, the young man leading them, was clearly the “My Lord” referred to by the princess.
What kind of figure could make a princess of a kingdom call him “My Lord”?!
