38: Mission rewards doubled, legendary necklace

“What was that light cluster, and why didn’t you die?”

Qin Tian looked at Gedo the Great King and couldn't help but ask.

“I didn’t die because you didn’t kill me. As for that light cluster, to be honest, I don’t know what it is either.”

Gedo the Great King said truthfully, and then, remembering the terrifying power of Qin Tian’s earlier strike, he quickly added, “But I know that you humans kill us for that light cluster. We can’t use this thing, but when given to you, it can help you increase your strength. As for where it comes from, I’m not clear. I know that every time I die, it disappears, and then after I revive, it appears on me again. It’s always there, and there’s always only one.”

Qin Tian looked at Gedo the Great King, and his intuition told him that Gedo the Great King wasn't lying.

But Qin Tian wasn’t a person who trusted intuition; he only believed in facts.

Just like before, when it was said that friendly forces don't drop equipment or give experience.

Those were all things he heard from others. It was only after killing Gobwai that Qin Tian truly confirmed this matter.

So now, by killing Gedo the Great King, he would know whether he was lying or not.

Just as Qin Tian was about to strike, the color of the name above Gedo the Great King’s head suddenly changed, from red (hostile) to green (friendly).

“I am willing to submit to my lord. From now on, I shall serve my lord as my master.”

Gedo the Great King knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Tian.

Surrendered?

This caught Qin Tian by surprise. Looking at Gedo the Great King, who had already become a friendly force, Qin Tian put away the long blade in his hand.

He had already experimented before; killing a friendly force yielded nothing.

“Good thing I was quick-witted, or I would have truly died just now.”

Seeing Qin Tian put away the long blade in his hand, Gedo the Great King let out a long sigh of relief.

“Open the cage and release the Goblin Clan Chief,” Qin Tian ordered Gedo the Great King, who quickly opened the cage.

Gobu Firm, the Goblin Clan Chief, walked out, tears of excitement streaming down his face, and immediately knelt before Qin Tian.

“Thank you, Warrior Lord, for saving my Goblin Clan. From now on, my Goblin Clan will serve you as our master.”

Gobu Firm was even more devout than Gedo the Great King, kowtowing to Qin Tian as if he were kowtowing to a deity.

Not only was it because Qin Tian saved the Goblin Clan, reaching the level of worship in the Goblin Clan’s favorability, but also because of the terrifying strength Qin Tian displayed.

Before Gobu Firm met Qin Tian, he believed Gedo the Great King was an invincible existence.

And Qin Tian easily defeated Gedo the Great King; what else could he be but a god?

“Father!”

A joyful shout came from afar, and the Goblin Princess ran over from a distance.

[Hidden Quest: Save the Goblin Home] Completed.

[Obtained 100,000,000 experience points, Goblin faction favorability +500,000, one Legendary-grade equipment]

The quest experience was also affected by Qin Tian’s talent, directly increasing by 1,000 times.

Golden light once again illuminated Qin Tian’s body, and his level continued to skyrocket.

He directly went from Level 60 to Level 65.

What surprised Qin Tian even more was that the equipment reward also improved; before, it only rewarded Divine artifacts, but now he obtained Legendary-grade equipment, which was of a higher grade than Divine artifacts.

An orange Legendary-grade necklace.

[Blessing of the Holy Dragon]: Orange Legendary-grade equipment

[Wearing Requirements]: Level 50, 75 Strength, 75 Constitution.

[Effect 1]: Defense +1000

[Effect 2]: Health +3000

[Effect 3]: Health recovery speed increased by 100%

[Effect 4]: Chance of being critically hit reduced by 70%

[Effect 5]: Dragon’s Breath: Activates the power of the Holy Dragon, releasing a powerful breath attack that deals massive damage to enemies within a 1000-meter radius. (Cooldown: 72 hours)

[Durability]: 1500

As expected of a Legendary-grade necklace, its attributes far surpassed Qin Tian’s current [Witch’s Guardian Necklace].

The health and defense boosted by this single piece of equipment could already rival a full set of [Ogre Chainmail] armor.

Especially the last skill, it was simply a divine artifact for team battles.

Qin Tian put on this necklace, replacing the [Witch’s Guardian Necklace].

Unlike a conventional necklace appearing around the neck, a red dragon pattern appeared in a circle around his neck.

Could this Goblin Clan really be related to dragons?

First, there was the headless statue from before, then this necklace clearly related to dragons, which made Qin Tian suspicious.

“Divine Lord, this is my daughter, the most beautiful princess of the Goblin Clan, Gobu Mei.”

Gobu Firm’s voice sounded, introducing his daughter to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked, and she was true to her name.

She looked as if she was carved from the same mold as He's Just a Legend.

Gobu Mei shyly lowered her head. Gedo the Great King was stunned; a part of his reason for attacking the Goblin Clan back then was also because of Gobu Mei.

Heroes are often swayed by beauty, and it was the same for the Ogre Clan.

“To thank my lord for saving the Goblin Clan, I am willing to bestow my humble daughter upon my lord, so that the Goblin Clan’s Saintess may serve my lord for life.”

Gobu Firm looked at Qin Tian with excitement, but also with some reluctance in his heart.

After all, she was his own daughter. Although she was marrying the god-like Qin Tian, as a father, he still wished for his daughter to stay by his side.

Gedo the Great King, hearing this, felt heartbroken, but his loyalty to Qin Tian still made him choose to accept reality.

“Stop, stop. I appreciate your intentions, but please take your daughter back.”

Qin Tian quickly waved his hand in refusal; he had no such peculiar tastes.

“Does my lord not believe in the loyalty of my Goblin Clan?”

“I acted purely for justice; I don’t need the Goblin Clan’s gratitude.”

Hearing Qin Tian say this, Gobu Firm was even more moved, too emotional to speak.

“Goblin Clan favorability +500,000”

“Ogre Clan favorability +500,000, Ogre Clan favorability reached Worship.”

Qin Tian heard this prompt and turned to look at Gedo the Great King. From Gedo the Great King’s eyes, he saw his affection for Gobu Mei.

Qin Tian hadn't expected that by refusing Gobu Mei, the Ogre Clan’s favorability would instead reach maximum level.

“My master is unmoved by beauty; truly a model hero.”

Gedo the Great King praised him sincerely. Because his favorability had reached worship, he was now even more loyal than when he first pledged allegiance to Qin Tian; to be precise, he had become as devout as the Goblin Clan.

Qin Tian was speechless, not wanting to continue this topic. Instead, he looked at Gobu Firm and asked seriously, “Is the Goblin Clan related to dragons? Do you know the West Sobia Grassland?”

“How does my lord know about the West Sobia Grassland? That is the homeland of our Goblin Clan.”
