Chapter 607 True Wish

Gustavo Flynn was stunned when he heard the words of the goblin bank president.

The magic of wishing is the closest magic to the gods that mortals can reach.

Compared to useless spells like Karsus' Ascension Spell, the Wish Spell is the one that can truly make wishes come true.

The Alchemy City originally spent countless manpower and resources just to allow mortals to master this power, but ultimately failed for various reasons.

These top alchemists have spent so much time and failed, so why should a group of goblins be close to success in such a short time?

Gustavo Flynn said incredulously, "All you lack is a legendary alchemist to perform the ritual?"

Donald Grandet chuckled and said confidently, "Money is a very powerful force. It can not only buy material things, but also knowledge. Master Flynn, you probably don't know how many alchemists are cooperating with our bank, and many of them are not members of the Alchemy Association."

“This is not something that can be solved simply by numbers.”

Gustavo Fring said this, but he was still very curious.

Did the goblins really recreate the entire design of the Alchemy City? He couldn't care less about the Alchemy Association's mess. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether what the goblins said was true.

Donald Grandet was very happy. It seemed that his countermeasures still had some minor problems. If he had known that the alchemist was so curious, perhaps he could have saved a lot of money.

"Master Flynn, since you have agreed, then follow me. However, I have to state in advance that you can still choose to withdraw now, but after seeing everything, you must join in and never regret it, otherwise..."

Gustavo Flynn also understood this rule. Some secrets, once known, must either be silenced or joined. The original Alchemy City did the same thing, but the original Alchemy City could sacrifice the entire capital as a sacrifice. Could this group of goblins also sacrifice the Dwarf King?

Does the Dwarf King know about this? But no matter what, the Dwarf King is not a good guy.

Gustavo Flynn had no feelings for the Dwarf Kingdom. From top to bottom, it was just a matter of interests, and the Dwarf King had taken advantage of him a lot.

The goblin president, who looked wealthy, held up a lamp and led Gustavo Flynn into the secret passage.

It is not surprising that there is a secret passage in the president's office, but what surprised Gustavo Flynn was that the secret passage went all the way down and was very dangerously deep.

It’s not about ventilation. These small problems can be solved with just a little magic.

But it is common sense for everyone that one cannot dig too deep anywhere on the entire continent.

Because beneath the continent is an endless dark area.

This is a space that is even larger than the surface world. To this day, no one knows how big and deep the Underdark is. Even the Queen of the Underdark only occupies several huge spaces. Compared with the entire Underdark, her territory is only a small piece, but it is very close to the surface, so most people have to deal with this Queen of the Dead.

There is a secret passage all the way down. Aren't these goblins afraid of digging into the Underdark?

There are all kinds of things in here, and you never know what kind of monster might pop out.

Every country has similar legends, where an underground passage was accidentally dug, and then people started dying inexplicably in the village. In fact, it turned out that they had dug into the Underdark.

At this depth, it was obvious that they had exceeded the safety line. The rocks around them had changed color, and Gustavo Flynn could even sense a faint dark magic beginning to appear in the air.

This is definitely the Underdark. Did they set up a huge magic circle in the Underdark?

This conjecture was soon verified. After passing through a deep corridor, we finally saw a vast space.

The bloody and stinking smell hit him in the face. Gustavo Flynn knew without even looking that this was the effect of a blood sacrifice. A large amount of flesh and blood was being sacrificed as the core to activate the magic circle.

The Alchemy City did the same thing back then, but they used the city's sewers and various magic potions to create a large number of dangerous monsters, and then lured adventurers to go down and explore, using this method to accumulate sacrifices bit by bit.

What kind of sacrifices are used in the Underdark?

Gustavo Flynn walked forward and soon saw a large number of tied-up slaves.

"Deep gnomes and dwarves? How dare you…"

Gustavo Flynn was shocked. These underground gnomes and dwarves were close relatives of the surface dwarves. How dare they use these races as sacrifices?

Donald Grandet said: "Don't be so surprised, Master Flynn. For you alchemists, all life in the world is the same and can be used as experimental subjects, right?"

"But in the Dwarf Kingdom, this is against the law!"

Although the Dwarf Kingdom is a multi-ethnic kingdom on the surface, the dwarves, as the main race, naturally have many privileges. The simplest one is that the kingdom has slaves, but dwarves cannot be slaves. If you dare to harm a dwarf or a close relative of dwarf descent, the punishment starts with the death penalty.

"Don't get too excited, Master Flynn. Strictly speaking, this place is no longer part of the dwarven kingdom. The Underdark has never belonged to any kingdom."

Donald Grandet held up the lamp in his hand, and countless lights lit up in front of him.

The full picture of the magic circle finally appeared in front of Gustavo Flynn. Thousands of goblins were waving whips and driving the slaves into the sacrifice area. One life after another dissolved in the magic circle.

Flynn took a casual look and found that the magic circle had been greatly modified.

There are talented people among the goblins. Although this modification cannot be considered an improvement, it is not random either. Instead, it makes the magic circle that could have been used infinitely become a one-time use.

Seeing something related to his profession, Gustavo Flynn no longer cared about the slaves.

"You only need to use the wish once?" asked Gustavo Flynn.

This change is easy to recognize. After all, it is a project I have participated in for decades. The magic patterns on it are more familiar to me than the bed at home.

The goal of the Alchemy City is to allow the original president to gain the ability to use the wish spell unlimited times, allowing the president to bypass Io and gain power comparable to that of a god.

But these goblins were obviously not greedy, they just wanted to use the wish spell once.

This greatly simplified the structure of the magic circle and reduced most of the burden. No wonder they were able to complete most of it so quickly. The workload was much less than the original version of the Alchemy City.

Donald Grandet smiled and said, "We are not that greedy."

Gustavo Flynn sneered, "Goblins are not greedy? That's a good joke."

Just as elves are synonymous with elegance, most goblins' lives are also affected by their racial characteristics. Greed and cruelty are their inescapable natures, and perhaps the rules can make them restrain themselves a little, but it is impossible for them to truly change their nature.

"Humans have the most prejudice among all races. This may be related to your chaotic nature. You can have the noblest saints like Arthur Ryan, but you can also have inhumane alchemy madmen like Alchemy City. Master Flynn, you should understand that the best of every race are those who have overcome their own shortcomings and have a strong will.

"Although the goblins are greedy, I know how to control myself. I know what I want, so our Goblin Bank has been able to operate until now and has always been profitable."

As he spoke these words, the old goblin's temperament changed, and his hunched body seemed taller than anyone else.

Gustavo Flynn did not refute that the old goblin was indeed a character.

But he was still very curious about it and couldn't help asking, "What wish do you want to make?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Donald Grandet shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, Master Flynn, I will take you to see someone first."

"You are alone. Is there someone behind you directing you?"

"Of course, Master Flynn, why do you think a banker like me would take such a big risk? Of course it's because I have a very important client. Come on, I should explain everything to you today. After all, we don't have much time left."

Gustavo Flynn followed the old goblin, passed through the magic circle, and passed through a passage full of magic traps, and finally came to a huge room.

Donald Grandet knocked on the door respectfully, then opened it and said to Gustavo Flynn: "Master Flynn, Master Yuri is waiting for you inside."

The old goblin acted as if he was not qualified to enter, so Gustavo Flynn had to push the door open and walk into the room himself.

The room was large but simply furnished, filled with all kinds of books. Gustavo Flynn took a quick glance and found a lot of alchemy-related content.

Could it be that this Lord Yuri was the builder of the magic circle? Who on earth was this legendary alchemist? How come I had never heard of this name before?

After looking for a long time, he didn't find anyone else in the room. Just as he was wondering, a short figure walked out from behind a pile of books.

The short figure was holding a thick alchemist's notebook in his hand. After closing the book, he politely saluted Gustavo Flynn and said, "Respected Master Flynn, hello, I am Seth Yuri."

Gustavo Flynn looked at the other man carefully and came to a conclusion that puzzled him.

This Seth Uri didn't have green wrinkled skin and pointy ears, but instead had a solid body of muscles... This wasn't a goblin at all, this was a dwarf, and judging by his beard, this dwarf seemed to be quite young.

Seth Uri smiled and said, "Master Flynn, you seem very surprised. Don't worry, we still have enough time to solve your doubts. Please take a seat."

The young dwarf waved his hand, and many roots grew out of the ground. The plants automatically twisted together and turned into a simple set of tables and chairs.

"What a powerful nature spell! Are you a druid?"

Druids are messengers who practice the way of nature. They are not limited to any race. As long as they follow the teachings of the Oak Father, they can become a druid. But becoming a druid often also means abandoning one's own race and country, a bit like some religions.

Seth Uri sat on a chair and said to Gustavo Flynn, "I just have some research on natural magic. I admire those druids who practice the way of nature, but I can't be an ascetic. By the way, I don't have any tea, but I can treat you to a cup of flower dew."

Seth Uri knocked on the table, and two bright flowers grew out, pouring some sweet nectar into the wooden cup on the table.

Gustavo Flynn had no interest in drinking any nectar. He only knew that the dwarf in front of him was no ordinary man. He was not a druid, but he could cast natural spells of this level. This guy's magical talent was terrifying.

This is a dwarf! Dwarves are a race that is not known for being good at magic.

Just like what the old goblin said before, every outstanding person in the race is a great man who has broken through his own limitations, but how come he has never heard of such a powerful dwarf.

If he showed any talent in the kingdom, he would be immediately valued by the king.

"I think we should get to the point as soon as possible. Mr. Yuri, what exactly is your cooperation with President Grandet, and why do you need me to preside over this ceremony? I just looked at the magic circle, and it has been modified almost completely. It will take at most two months to complete. You shouldn't have any bottlenecks."

Seth Yuri praised, "Well, Master Flynn is indeed an expert. He can tell the progress of the project at a glance. This is exactly why I need your help, because we can't wait two months. We need to complete this magic circle within three days. Even if you don't come to me today, I will come to invite you in person."

"Three days? Why... why are you in such a hurry?"

Gustavo Flynn didn't quite understand. They had been secretly working on this project for so long, why did they suddenly speed up? Could it be that the magic circle had been discovered by the Dwarf Kingdom?

Seth Yuri seemed to see through Gustavo Flynn's thoughts and shook his head and said, "No, we have been working very carefully and there is no risk of being discovered. But there are still three days before the Conference of Nations begins. I must complete the prayer before the Conference of Nations begins."

Gustavo Fring said doubtfully, "What are you going to do? What is your wish?"

Seth Urie said: "I hope you can stay calm after listening to this."

Gustavo Flynn laughed and said, "Back then, we even abandoned the entire Alchemy City. Is there anything crazier than this?"

Seth Yuri nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly who I need you to be. Then I might as well tell you the truth. When the ritual is completed, I will make a wish and let the current dwarf king die."

Gustavo Flynn's eyes widened. This was really a bit beyond his expectations.
