Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects! - Chapter 58-1
Gold Village.
The goblin paced back and forth in the office excitedly.
In the narrow space, White Vulture closed her eyes to rest and monitored Gold Village with her perception. Occasionally, she would glance at her employer before looking away in boredom.
Her goblin employer had been maintaining this state for an entire day.
All of this was naturally because of the death of the ancient dragon, Obadiah.
There was a tacit secret in Gold Village.
From the moment the goblins borrowed the first loan from the mortal kingdom in the name of Gold Village, the dominance of Gold Village no longer belonged to the dwarves.
With the advantage of having no bottom line and intelligence, the goblins made use of the massive amount of capital stored in Gold Village to leverage a huge amount of wealth from the mortal world.
Hidden behind the kings of the dwarves, they turned Gold Village into their money-making machine and made a shocking fortune.
The goblins who had already taken control of Gold Village gradually became even more ambitious.
But now…
An extremely, extremely rare opportunity was placed in front of them.
According to the ancient books, Gold Village was a sacred place for the extinct gold dwarves.
They were a legendary ancient race with a long history like the ancient dragons.
Furthermore, they served the great primordial existence as well.
This sacred ground of Gold Village that was guarded by the gold dwarves for generations and taken over by the dwarf kings after their extinction was built to welcome the supreme sacred weapon created by the ancient gods!
And now, a sacred weapon had already appeared.
Furthermore, only the goblin knew about this!
Every time he thought of that, the goblin could not help but tremble in excitement.
This undoubtedly gave the goblin a bold thought.
He wanted to keep the New One-handed Sword 01 for himself.
Thereafter, he would open up Gold Village alone!
Right then, the office door was knocked and a few dwarven miners walked in.
“Boss, the corruption value of the Nether Realm within Gold Village has increased by another three points. We can’t delay any longer. We have to stop work this time round!”
“Overruled! Rejection!”
The goblin’s train of thought was interrupted as he scolded his employees.
“It’s just a little bit of corruption value. Hasn’t this lousy place always had a high corruption value? Can’t you guys get used to it?! How did you guys promise me at the oath-taking event last month?! Selfish employees like you who don’t have any team spirit are basically parasites of Gold Village. Just wait to be fired!”
A bunch of ignorant fellows!
What was wrong with a little corruption of the Nether Realm?
At most, these employees would just grow a few extra limbs and heads!
However, if they stopped work, the goblins would lose a lot of money!
After berating his employees away, the goblin continued to think…
At that moment, the goblin suddenly thought of the mercenary he had spent a lot of money to hire. “White Vulture, what do you think?”
White Vulture shrugged. “I’m a mercenary. I’m only in charge of doing things and getting paid.”
White Vulture did not want to cause trouble for the Haines Empire at all.
However, for the sake of high quality kindles… for the future of the Sisterhood and the birth of even more outstanding successors, she could only reluctantly agree to this job.
The goblin sighed.
“Actually, my current thoughts are extremely clear. It’s just that there are too many uncertainties…”
He wanted to keep New One-handed Sword 01 for himself and open up Gold Village alone.
He merely needed two things.
First, the matter of New One-handed Sword 01 had to be kept a secret from the dwarf kings.
Second, he had to think of a way to get his hands on New One-handed Sword 01 from the Imperial Guard, Hela.
Regarding Hela, the goblin felt a headache coming on…
How could Obadiah who possessed immortality be killed for no reason and even dragged away with his ribs being used as food?
No matter how he thought about it, it was way too exaggerated.
Would the evil dragon, Olivia, sit by idly and watch her clansmen be slaughtered by the Haines Empire?
What was the secret behind everything?
The goblin could not figure it out no matter how he racked his brains.
However, no matter what, there was one thing that the goblin believed in.
Hela could not use New One-handed Sword 01.
There were many ancient materials stored in Gold Village and among them were many records of this key.
Legend has it that that sword was created by the endless ancient original gods.
Its purpose seemed to be to verify some guess.
The ancient dragons and the original gods were the only two users of the sword.
Now that Obadiah was made into ribs, there was naturally no way he could use New One-handed Sword 01.
Since there were no ancient dragon lairs in the Haines Empire, it was even more impossible for the seven Imperial Guards to produce descendants of the original gods.
It was clear that the useless and worthless New One-handed Sword 01 was nothing but scrap metal to Hela!
Since that was the case, things were easy.
Since that sword was not of much value to Hela, as long as the goblin paid a little price, it should not be difficult for him to buy back New One-handed Sword 01 from Hela.

Even if Hela was unwilling to sell it, the goblin could offer other conditions that she could not reject.
As the CEO of Gold Village Credit Corporation that had businesses all over the world, the goblin was confident that he could negotiate terms with the Imperial Guards.
However…
In the worst case scenario, Hela Haines might not be willing to hand over New One-handed Sword 01 no matter what or if it fell into the hands of someone else who was even more troublesome…
The final strategy would be to use the demigod mercenary to get his hands on New One-handed Sword 01.
Of course.
That was definitely a bad idea. No matter what, Gold Village should not provoke the Haines Empire.
After all, Gold Village was a calamity recorded in the edict of Order and was an existence that was viewed with extreme hostility to begin with.
The reason why the Haines Empire had yet to clean up Gold Village was probably because those few strong Imperial Guards were too busy.
However, since that was the case and Gold Village was going to be destroyed sooner or later, wouldn’t it be better to activate the treasures of Gold Village and obtain the strength necessary to defeat the Imperial Guards before the latter even attacked them?
There were too many choices…
The goblin sighed tiredly.
“Miss White Vulture.”
“Yes?”
“Seal off Gold Village first and control the communication points. Don’t show mercy to anyone who leaves Gold Village, especially the dwarves.”
“Got it.”
