"Since Lord Kirby can't hold on any longer, ask him to hand over his authority as the leader of the Trade Union!"
Under the instigation of the veteran Gnomes, a Gnome leader wearing a well-ironed merchant association uniform with only a left ear on his head stood out and waved his arm as he shouted.
"Left Ear, what are you trying to do?" An old goblin wearing the robes of the Goblin Salvation Society stood up, glaring at the goblin leader.
Beside him, the believers who had always viewed the Great Goblin Sage as their savior gathered around and started arguing with the Left Ear.
The goblin Locke, who had already become a Grade 3 Magus, sat in a corner leisurely, gently caressing the short magic staff inlaid with rubies of the highest quality. The body of the staff was decorated with colorful diamonds and exquisite magical patterns, while he watched the 'dog-eat-dog' battle in front of him without batting an eyelid.
A Grade 3 Magus, and the commander of the Scarlet Fleet's flagship, Vasero … Any one of these two identities would allow him to stand proudly above the goblins present. No matter which side gained power, they would want to rope him in, and would not dare to encroach on the goblin interests of Locke's faction.
That was why he could calmly observe the quarrel in front of him, ignoring the political conspiracies and schemes behind it!
Just like Locke, the leader of the Mechanical Warlocks, Blackwing, stood aloof.
As one of the few armed leaders among the goblins who had grasped some elemental powers, Blackwing's individual strength was only at the pinnacle of Grade 2, and he did not seem to stand out. However, he led a goblin Violent Blood Group of 13,000.
Moreover, 10% of them were Grade 2.
Even though the Mechanical Warlocks were not strong individually, they relied on their collective strength to rise to become the number one faction among the goblins. Blackwing's position rose with the tide, and he became a hot commodity that all the goblin factions fought to rope in.
Other than the two main branches of the Goblin Wizards and Mechanical Warlocks, the most important faction among the goblins was the Goblin Scientific Academy, which was made up of demonized goblins. They controlled two Rank-4 Puppet Dragons and part of the Crimson Fleet.
Thus, the Goblin Academy of Sciences, which mainly consisted of Goblin Engineers, Mechanics, and Technicians, became the representatives of the Goblins. Even within the Crimson Family, they had quite a bit of say.
Normally, these forces would not interfere with each other's business. They each had their own areas of expertise and rarely interacted with each other. Therefore, the relationship between them could barely be maintained at the level of sitting together, drinking tea and chatting.
Once it involved the interests of the factions, they would definitely fight to the death.
It was not to the extent of plotting to kill, but it was common for them to get beaten black and blue!
In the past, the Gnome Great Sage had acted as a middleman and acted as a go-between for the Gnome Faction. Thus, the Gnome Faction was able to coexist peacefully. But now, with the Gnome Great Sage Kabi nearing the end of his life, the entire Gnome race was facing a reshuffling of authority and restructuring.
Hence, they gathered here and coveted the position of Chairman of the Trade Union in Kabi's hands.
Kabi, who was lying on the luxurious bed, had aged so much that it was impossible to look at him directly. The many Life Rituals had allowed him to surpass the limits of the Gnome race's lifespan, becoming the first Green-skinned Gnome in history to live to 600 years old.
However, at the brink of death, the power of death that had been delayed for centuries by the power of witchcraft had finally found him. His entire body and soul emitted a gloomy and decaying aura of death.
"Get … out … of … them …" Kabi called out in a low, trembling voice.
Kabi called out in a low, trembling voice. The Elven priest in charge of taking care of Kabi stood up and gave the order to expel the goblins in the room who were shouting.
"Get out, Lord Kabi needs some time alone!"
"We can't go out, we still have to hear who Lord Kabi is going to replace him as Chairman …"
"That's right, the Gnome Trade Union cannot lose its leader. We need to choose a new Chairman …"
"I choose Boss Blackwing, only he has the power to sit in this position …"
"Nonsense, Blackwing is already the leader of the Mechanical Warlocks, he can't hold two positions … That will cause a power imbalance … I choose Vice Chairman Bausch …"
"Bausch is too old, he won't live for long, we should choose a younger one …"
"Then who should we choose … You?"
… …
It had to be said that after losing Kabi, the core person who could mediate the goblins, the entire goblin faction was in chaos, and no one was willing to submit to anyone else.
If they couldn't argue, they would fight!
It was unknown who took off the boots on his feet first and threw them out. The next moment, the room immediately erupted into a scene of hand-to-hand combat.
"Lord Kabi … Lord Kabi … This is bad, stop fooling around, Lord Kabi is dead!" The Elven Priest in charge of taking care of Kabi bent down, only to find that the number one Gnome of the Crimson Family had stopped breathing, taking his last breath.
"Alright, that's enough, you ugly fellows … Leave Lord Kabi with his last bit of dignity! If you want to quarrel, go to the hall outside! Now, all of you, get out! " The Gnome Magus Loke, who had been watching coldly from the side, finally stood up in anger. With a tap of the staff in his hand, a dazzling elemental halo encircled his body, intimidating the group of Gnomes who had been grabbing at each other's noses and biting each other's arms.
"Let's all leave!" The Black Wing leader stood up as well, "Let's discuss how to arrange Lord Kabi's funeral first, the rest can be discussed later …"
With that, he took the lead and walked out of the room.
The rest of the Gnomes looked at each other, and could only release their arms and legs in anger. They tidied up their clothes and walked out of the room one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only the Elven Priest, the Magus Loke, and the Gnome Great Sage Kabi were left in the room.
"My Lord, aren't you going?" The Elven Priest looked at Loke curiously.
Loke shook his head, not replying to her. Instead, he bowed respectfully to a corner of the room, "Lady Mary, I've chased them away as per your orders!"
Lady Mary? The Blood Queen Mary who controlled the enormous Crimson Family and practically ruled over the central part of the continent?
The Grade 1 Elven Priest could not help but widen his eyes, staring blankly at the beautiful and delicate figure that slowly appeared out of thin air.
Just from appearance alone, nobody could tell that Mary had an extraordinary and terrifying identity. Even more so, nobody could tell that she was actually a super powerful being whose name would cause one's heart to tremble in fear.
This was a young and beautiful girl with slender limbs and an unparalleled beauty!
Her skin was spotlessly white and flawless, her features so exquisite that they could steal one's soul. Her small red lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth always held a faint smile that would intoxicate one's mind. Her youthful and fiery body was even more eye-catching. Her curvy body, which was wrapped under the hollowed out dragon skin soft armor, revealed a large area of snow-white chest muscles and two plump and plump hemispheres.
On her back, a pair of similarly exquisite black bat wings gently flapped, accentuating the wild beauty and alluring allure of the girl before them.
As soon as Mary's figure emerged from the void, her gaze fell on the old and decayed Kaby, who was lying on the bed and could no longer be seen.
She quietly floated above Kabi and looked down at its body. No one knew what she was thinking.
Looks like Lady Mary is here to bid farewell to Kabi …
The goblin Wizard Loke could not help but guess. He even gave the Elven Priest a look, indicating for them to leave and leave this place to Lady Mary.
However, the Elven Priest evidently could not endure the faint scent of blood lingering around Mary's body, her entire body going limp. Not to mention walking, even moving a little finger was so difficult!
Grade 1 and the peak of grade 4 … The difference between the two was too great!
It was so great that even if Mary retracted her energy aura, the Elven Priest would instinctively feel fear and cower in fear. As if she had seen the most terrifying predator in the world, the Elven Priest's soul was already numb, her flesh and blood stiff, unable to move an inch.
If she stayed by Mary's side for too long, she might even be scared to death!
"You don't have to leave, just stay here!"
Mary's voice filled with endless temptation suddenly rang in the room. She extended her hand, and a faint soul shadow floated out of Kabi's body.
The soul of an ordinary being would disperse very quickly after death.
However, Kabi had reached the peak of grade 2 before his death, which was why his soul shadow was much clearer and more tenacious than others.
After crawling out of the body, Kabi's soul stood in the air in a daze, only recognizing Mary after a moment of absent-mindedness.
"Lady Mary, I can't take it anymore, I have to leave you soon. Kabi bids you farewell here! " Kabi's soul knelt in mid-air and kowtowed to Mary a few times, sobbing, "Lady Mary, it's my honor to be able to meet you and Lord Grimm … The next time you see Lord Grimm, please remember to bid him farewell for me!"
Hearing those words, Mary could not help but sigh faintly.
"Looks like you're destined to be lucky for the rest of your life! I finally understand why that bastard suddenly gave me such a good thing. Hmph, you're lucky … "
Having said that, Mary took out an item from her bosom and tossed it in front of Kabi's soul.
It was a ball of golden light so beautiful that it could take one's breath away, and within it was a gorgeous golden thread.
For some unknown reason, when the Goblin Wizard Loke's eyes fell on this thread, his breathing suddenly stopped. His entire body suddenly tensed up, and his mind and soul were trembling and agitated.
Get it … Get it … Get it …
Loke's entire spirit desired to obtain this golden thread. Fortunately, he still had his intelligence, and he used all his strength to stop himself from acting impulsively.
What was that? How could it be so enticing?
