I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Murphy was puzzled as to why Goblin suddenly brought up his profession, so he asked him with some doubt.

"so what?"

Goblin casually took out the contract and said to Murphy:

"This is a contract offered by my profession. You can take a look at it. I believe it's entirely beneficial to both of us. What do you think?"

……

Goblin acquired this profession when it was first put in charge of boiling nutrient solution.

After its hand touched the pot, a sudden flash of inspiration appeared in its mind.

Then a voice informed it that it had passed the intelligence test.

It was given a strange ability.

Lord's Spear

This ability comes with three effects.

[Domination: Summons a magical long-barreled flintlock pistol; automatically gains one ammunition each time the territory is upgraded.]

[Lord: Automatically acquire the Lord class]

[Detection: Allows you to detect gatherable resources near your territory. This ability increases with your territory's level.]

This spear was the weapon it previously used to intimidate the brittle bones.

However, this thing can be summoned out of thin air.

But Goblin was very cunning; he deliberately made several so-called holy artifacts that only resembled them in appearance, to check for traitors within the organization.

The so-called Lord class effect is that it helps the Lord develop his territory and provides feedback to the Lord as the territory develops.

However, the feedback was not very strong, and it was obviously incomparable to that of normal combat professions.

Therefore, its physical fitness suddenly increased dramatically, which can only mean that the development of its territory is progressing by leaps and bounds!

The reason for this rapid progress is almost self-evident.

Part of it was because it had initially established a cooperative relationship with Lynn and Sri.

And the larger part...

This is none other than Mr. Murphy, who is standing right in front of me.

This is why it has so much confidence in Murphy.

The positive feedback is too strong!

They worked tirelessly to develop their territory, forge alliances with foreign powers, cultivate their people, and improve education, among other things.

Then, looking back, the territory's development progress bar had only increased by this little bit!

Then this stone man arrived carrying a hammer, and glared at us with his large and small eyes.

There's not even a need to manufacture anything; you can just take a look.

The progress bar suddenly jumped up by a large margin.

And each time it got more and more outrageous.

When we first commissioned it to make medicine, it had only grown a small part or so.

And then, the moment Murphy knocks out that reproductive machine.

The territory level jumped directly to level 10 or so.

The average level of goblins is only eight or nine, and their territory level is just 10.

In other words, creating this thing artificially raises the average level by several levels.

Furthermore, territory level upgrades are calculated based on overall attributes.

Therefore, it is even very likely that after its other attributes develop, it will be promoted several levels by this breeding machine due to the improvement of its overall data.

Judging from this upgrade speed...

It couldn't think of any reason why it wouldn't believe Murphy.

Not to mention the planting machine that Murphy just pulled out.

After forcibly raising its territory level to 20, it was locked.

Then it must be required to develop other areas before it can continue to upgrade.

It was also warned that it was best not to seek out Murphy for forging in the short term, otherwise its development might become unbalanced.

This isn't some kind of stone man; it's clearly a gold mine man!

So Goblin now only has one plan: to tie Murphy to his ship as much as possible.

As for how to do it...

Its lord class has a rather unique ability.

[Collaborator Contract: For each major rank advancement, you can obtain a contract to invite collaborators.]

At this stage, only professionals can be invited.

After the agreement is signed, the territory development resulting from the partnership will be used to a certain extent to upgrade the profession level.

Furthermore, the advancement of a professional's professional level will also increase their territory to a certain extent.

Note: When a collaborator's contribution to the territory and its development has a significant impact.

There is a chance that the development and evolution of the territory will shift towards the direction of the collaborator's profession.

This ability is its means of winning over Murphy.

This kind of relationship, which is equal and involves only incentives without coercion, is actually very close to their current situation.

Therefore, Gobluth thought that Murphy probably wouldn't refuse.

That is indeed the case.

Because of his telepathic abilities, Murphy confirmed that there were no problems with the contract and decided to sign it.

"Okay, how do I sign?"

"Just silently sign the contract in your mind, and then tear it up," Gobru quickly said.

However, Goblin was dumbfounded when Murphy tore up the contract.

The contract floated back into its hand.

"The contract failed?"

Murphy looked at the contract that had suddenly reappeared in Goblin's hand and asked.

Goblu nodded.

The contract failed, but the reason for the failure was truly baffling.

The other party is not a professional, so a contract cannot be formed.

Does this mean Murphy doesn't have any craftsmanship professions?

This is something it could never have imagined.

Its first reaction wasn't even to doubt Murphy, but to wonder if there was something wrong with its own abilities.

There are no craftsmen here, so how did they make those things?

Is it really just a matter of thinking it over, then hammering it a few times and it's done?

"Mr. Murphy, may I ask you something?"

Goblu really couldn't accept reality, so he could only ponder and ask.

"ask."

Have you ever been a professional?

"I am a craftsman," Murphy said with great seriousness and certainty.

"I know you're a craftsman, the kind I'm talking about..."

When Goblin heard Murphy's answer, he wanted to explain, but he felt he couldn't explain it clearly.

After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to the three people, Old Ke and his companions, who were talking in the distance.

It was unable to determine whether Murphy was a professional, nor could it explain the situation clearly to him.

But those three might not be capable, so Goblin turned to Murphy and politely inquired...

"Mr. Murphy, I can't really explain this matter of professionals either. Perhaps I could ask those three to help you explain?"

Murphy realized that his understanding of professionals was probably different from that of these people.

He became a little curious and nodded in agreement.

So the two of them walked towards Old Ke.

Ye saw that Murphy and Goblu had suddenly walked over, and Ye immediately felt like he had found a way out, so he gave up on communicating with Old Ke.

The topic was immediately changed.

"What brings you two here?"

Goblu nodded, not explicitly stating his abilities, but rather using subtle and euphemistic language.

"I've just discovered that Mr. Murphy doesn't seem to be a professional... so I'd like to ask you knowledgeable gentlemen to help me confirm this."

Upon hearing this, Ye was momentarily stunned, not quite grasping its meaning.

But the two who were originally calm suddenly widened their pupils in surprise after witnessing Murphy's abilities.
