"Meow!"
Daji answered.
As for Ethan's arrangements, Charlie was completely stunned.
He didn't dare say another word.
This man was even more ruthless than he had imagined.
But... even his Mask of Deception had been discovered by Ethan.
Now he had also lost his crystal ball and everything in his backpack.
No matter what tricks Charlie still had, he had no way to use them anymore.
[Platinum Chest discovered. Collect?]
'Collect.'
[Platinum +10]
[Spirit Stones +1000]
[Black Dragon Scale Legguards +2]
[Black Dragon Scale Bracers +2]
[Black Dragon Scale Armor +1]
[Black Dragon Scale Helmet +1]
[Black Dragon Scale Gloves +1]
When Ethan heard the string of notifications, he paused for a moment.
Then, when he looked at the pile of armor pieces in his backpack, he was pleased.
This was a complete set of Black Dragon Scale armor.
After all, Mr. White only had a pair of Black Dragon Scale Gloves, and he treasured them like nothing else.
The key point was that Black Dragons were naturally resistant to magic.
Not only did they provide excellent magic defense, but they also ignored curses and had high physical defense.
They were considered the classic among dragons.
It was simply, Black Dragon gear lasts forever. One set lasts for generations.
And he had actually gotten a complete set of armor from opening a chest.
Look carefully, this was actual equipment, not equipment blueprints.
If they had been blueprints instead, Ethan would have had a headache.
After all, he had no idea where to find a Black Dragon, let alone gather materials from one to make the equipment.
Ethan quickly opened his backpack and took out the Black Dragon Scale armor pieces one by one.
He started with the Black Dragon Scale Bracers. Although they were called Black Dragon Scale Bracers, they actually had a metallic shine.
It was a dark gray metal texture that looked very high-end.
Not only that.
The scales on the bracers were made from small pieces of equal size, fitted together.
They felt solid to the touch.
And after putting them on, they were even lighter than leather bracers, giving a very light feeling.
[Black Dragon Scale Bracers: Magic Resistance +100% on the equipped area. Physical Defense +50% on the equipped area. Can resist most curses. Special Effect: Agility +2.]
No wonder they felt so light.
They actually gave extra Agility.
One bracer added 2 Agility.
A pair gave 4 points.
Although each piece didn't add much by itself, there were many pieces, so together the bonus became quite impressive.
Next, Ethan looked at the legguards.
Their attributes were basically the same as the bracers.
The helmet's attributes were equal to a pair of bracers.
The only difference was...
[Black Dragon Scale Armor: Magic Resistance doubled over the entire body. Physical Defense +100% on the equipped area. Immunity to curses on the equipped area. Special Effect: Defense +10.]
This was incredible.
Unfortunately, if he wore it, he wouldn't be able to wear the Vajra Soft Armor anymore.
The Vajra Soft Armor had better physical defense than the Black Dragon Scale Armor.
But its magic defense was far worse.
That made the choice difficult.
It would be great if the two could be combined.
Oh well, you couldn't be too greedy.
'The Goblin King here seems to be a mage.'
'It is safer to switch to the Black Dragon Scale equipment first.'
When, Ethan finished putting on the full set of Black Dragon Scale armor, Bird One and the others all looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Lord, you look so handsome."
"You look like Lu Bu himself. So impressive! I love it!"
"Who's Lu Bu?"
Bird Three suddenly asked.
Bird Two scratched his head.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head.
"I don't remember. I just know he was really handsome."
———
After dealing with the three temples, Ethan led everyone onward.
As for Charlie, they naturally dragged him along the whole way.
Throughout the journey, Charlie kept trying to tell Ethan about Area B and the things he had predicted.
But Ethan didn't believe him at all, so...
"Bird One, stuff something in his mouth and make him be quiet."
Ethan gave the order without hesitation.
Only then did Charlie become frightened. He hurriedly shouted, "I won't say anything! I won't talk anymore! Don't stuff my... Mm! Mm..."
Unfortunately, his pleading was useless.
Before he could finish speaking, Bird One took out a dirty sock from who knew where and stuffed it into his mouth.
Only then did the group continue through the underground maze.
But something was strange, they had been walking for a long time without seeing a single goblin guard.
This was different from when they had first entered the Goblin Maze.
Back then, it wasn't as if there had been a guard every ten steps.
But there had at least been one every hundred steps.
So now, with everything completely silent, it felt both suspicious and strange.
It was like walking into a dead city.
If not for, the unreliable Prophetic Statue, whose red line kept pointing deeper into the maze, Ethan would have thought they had taken the wrong path.
After walking for another ten or so minutes, Ethan finally saw an extremely strange scene ahead.
Only then did he finally understand, why there wasn't a single goblin guard anywhere in the Goblin Maze.
