Chapter 1456 I am a person who likes to be lively!

Grom and the other three Goblin elders felt Gralgorn's gaze and their expressions became a little complicated.

Lu Li, who was watching from the side, also noticed this detail and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Combined with the previous performance of the Gobelins elders in protecting their own image, it can be speculated that

I roughly guessed the reason.

It seems that there must be other deeper cooperative relationships between the guard captain and the three Gobelin elders.

Maybe one is playing the good guy and the other is playing the bad guy.

By using both soft and hard methods, one can maintain the stability of the settlement, while also satisfying one's selfish desires and obtaining all the resources one wants.

Perhaps it wasn't Gralgon who coveted Babayak's compass,

Rather, the three Goberin elders had their eyes on the good things of their own clan!

"This Goblin settlement is truly small, yet it has everything..."

Lu Li sighed silently.

He looked back and forth between the three Gobelins' elders without any expression, wondering who to wrongly accuse next.

This can make this settlement completely available to him, 'Li Yun the Great Demon',

Nor will it damage the original management structure too much, causing the settlement to collapse.

Just as Lu Li was thinking about it, the leading Gobelin elder, Grom, suddenly slammed his cane on the ground and shouted at the top of his voice.

However, the message was not directed at Lu Li, but at the Gobelins who were watching the fun.

"What are you all looking at here? Don't you have anything to do?"

"We can't slack off in the development of the settlement. We are low-level monsters, so we should work harder than other demons to make up for this shortcoming!"

"Go do your own work now, don't just stand there!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Gobelins watching around showed expressions of reluctance to leave.

This is so exciting to watch...

But there is no way, the highly respected Elder Grom has spoken.

They could only take obedient steps and stop watching.

But at this moment, the deep voice of Li Yun the Great Demon suddenly sounded, forcibly drowning out Grom's shouting.

"Stop, don't move."

Grom's expression froze, then he immediately put on a smile and looked at Lu Li:

"Um, sir, do you have any instructions?"

"It's not really an order, it's just me, I like to be lively." Lu Li raised the corner of his mouth, and his signature smile of someone who has fun and is about to see fun appeared on his face:

"It's true that the settlement needs to develop, but a small settlement like yours won't be in trouble for a while."

"If they're interested in watching, then let them. For low-level monsters, how many chances can they get in their lifetime to witness the methods used by high-level monsters?"

"Your Excellency is absolutely right!" Grom complimented him almost instinctively.

"But I'm still worried that their watching will cause trouble to the adults, so why not let them..."

"Like I said, I like being in a lively atmosphere." Lu Li's smile faded and he repeated without any expression:

"Let them stay and continue to watch."

"Uh, this..." Grom didn't expect Lu Li to be so persistent on such a small matter, and he suddenly felt a little at a loss.

"Your Excellency can do whatever he wants, why are you yelling?"

Another chubby elder, Goberin, who looked obviously younger than Grom, quickly spoke up to smooth things over:

"If they want to see it, then let them. Maybe the thief who stole the compass is among them. Once Lord Li Yun finds out the truth, we won't have to go through the trouble of looking for him."

Grom rolled his eyes again.

He certainly wasn't worried that the settlement would stop developing because of this temporary onlookers.

The reason why the Goblins who were watching the fun were dispersed was mainly because they were afraid that after Gralgorn's memory was read, the secret agreement between them would be exposed.

By then, his image as the Goberin Elder will be completely ruined!

But then again,

The big demon named Li Yun probably just wanted to get Babayak's compass.

So even if he knew about the secret agreement between Grom and Gralgorn, he probably wouldn't say much.

At best, I just laughed at him in my heart.

If you try to compete with Li Yun too much, it will only make him unhappy.

It’s better to just do what the other party wants.

After thinking this through, Grom stopped worrying and quickly bowed to Lu Li and apologized:

"I acted on my own initiative. I beg Lord Li Yun to forgive me."

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." A faint smile reappeared on Lu Li's face, and he looked very easy to talk to.

The five fortune-bringing ghosts hovering above Gralgon's head quickly finished the 'soul search'.

Just like Gallywix's previous process, the five red-clothed evil spirits lined up and floated to Lu Li's ears one by one to report.

But this time it was no longer a pretense, but a real communication in private.

Lu Li gave the five of them new instructions—

Place the space bag with Gralgon's personal mark quietly on a target.

Although it is very difficult to do so in public.

But for the five ghosts who are good at stealing things without being seen, it is as easy as fishing in a basin, a sure thing!

The five ghosts can steal things without the target knowing.

Naturally, you can also slip something back to the other party without them knowing.

The space bag with Gralgon's personal mark had long been placed on the Five Ghosts of Fortune, so there was no need to take the risk of taking it out at this moment.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

"Glargon was indeed unaware of the situation. He didn't hide the compass for himself."

Lu Li cleared his throat and spoke lightly.

Hearing this, the anxiety on Glalgorn's face disappeared, and he instantly felt relaxed:

"I told you, someone must have stolen it!"

"I just don't know who this thief is... My Lord, are we going to search the souls of every Goblin in the settlement?"

"Although our settlement isn't very large, there are still thousands of Goblins living here."

"Searching them one by one will take quite a while, right? Isn't this a bit too much work?"

"Heh." Lu Li sneered and looked at Gralgorn:

"Are you doubting my methods?"

Gralgorn's mouth suddenly shut tight, his face pale with fear.

Seeing this, the chubby Goberlin elder spoke up again to smooth things over:
