Chapter 484 – Contracted Goblin

Chapter 484: Contracted Goblin
Through Shia’s description, Saul believes that someone is deliberately preventing ordinary people from leaving the city.

It’s just that this way of stopping them is too overbearing.

If you want to leave, you have to die.

Saul couldn’t figure out why it was necessary at first.

Trying to stop ordinary people from leaving was actually quite simple. Ordinary people, even in large numbers, were defenseless against wizards.

As long as Archaeust City or Baidong Academy took out their sorcerer’s frame, they could stop the people in the city from leaving.

However, that person who secretly created the evil spirits didn’t utilize the might of a sorcerer, but instead used the most covert and also the most ferocious way, then I’m afraid that his true purpose was not only to stop people from leaving.

“Someone is preventing ordinary people from leaving the city.” Shia concluded, “Right now it’s only targeting ordinary people, but I suspect that in the end, they might also prevent sorcerers from leaving the city. Just in case, we must discuss our countermeasures beforehand.”

Saul and Julie looked at each other.

They had both thought of the previous point, but they hadn’t realized that Shaya had extended it to the point where sorcerers would also be targeted.

“This is unlikely, right?” Julie was the one who didn’t quite agree with Shia’s idea, “Ordinary people don’t have the means to resist when facing evil spirits, but we’re full-fledged wizards, so who could trap us with this kind of maneuver?”

Saul did not immediately dismiss Shia’s conjecture but asked him, “Who do you think is preventing ordinary people from leaving?”

Shaya looked squarely at Saul with a face full of gravity, “I don’t know.”

Julie’s upper body shuddered, “What are you so serious about if you don’t know?”

Shia, however, didn’t find his words at all problematic as he turned to Julie, “It’s precisely because I don’t know that makes it all the more terrifying.”

Julie was thoughtful at this.

Saul asked Shaya, “Although you say you don’t know, you should have some suspicions in your mind, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have just looked for us.”

The muscles in Shia’s shoulders tightened, looking unnatural, “Anyway, I would have suspected all possible enemies.”

“Then why don’t you suspect us?” Julie asked, biting her lip.

She usually didn’t have much contact with Shia.

She could think of reasons why Shia invited Saul and Jonah, but couldn’t think of her own.

So she was a little skeptical …… if Shaya liked her.
“Jonah never goes out to capture evil spirits and is only focused on doing experiments. He doesn’t understand the evil spirits now at all. Saul …… who knows that he just left the Witch Tower to come to Archaust, there is no way he can have a relationship with the forces here. As for you?”

Shia looked at Julie with somewhat complicated eyes.

“You majored in light attribute and are weak, controlling evil spirits is too difficult for you.”

As soon as Shia’s words left his mouth, Saul instantly felt a surge of fire rise up from Julie beside him.

Saul coughed lightly twice, not wanting to waste his time listening to others argue.

“So Wizard Shia, the purpose of you calling us here should be to find a way to covertly destroy that source of pollution, right? Do you have any clues?”

Shaya said directly, “I have someone here who should have been targeted by the pollution source, I will mark him to find out where the pollution source is, and when the time comes, we’ll work together to find a way to remove the source, and at worst, at worst, we’ll figure out if they’ll be targeting us wizards.”

Saul crossed his arms and tapped the back of his hand with his index finger.

Such a clue, he just happened to have found one as well.

Julie, however, was not very optimistic about such a rough plan, “You just said that there are many candidates hiding behind this source of contamination, in case it’s one we can’t afford to mess with ……”

“If it’s one we can’t afford to mess with, then run immediately before they set their sights on the official wizards.” Shaya spoke firmly, and it was clear that this was what he was thinking.

When making a plan, the first step was to think of a retreat first. It was no wonder that with his character, he was still able to survive until now.

Julie had just been bluntly criticized by Shia for being weak, and at this time, she said in a bad mood, “I’m just afraid that you’ll be discovered when you’re tracing it, and if you want to run away, you can’t run away anymore.”

“I did have this concern, so I waited until I got three people together to come up with this plan.” Shia’s gaze swept over the three, “This way, when running, there will be others to share the chase for me.”

Julie rolled her eyes hard, “And what if I don’t participate in your plan?”

“Then I’ll kill you right here.”

Julie’s heart was creeped out, she had spent more time with Shia, so she naturally knew that the other party’s tone at this moment, although flat, was likely to be telling the truth.

If Shia really wanted to kill her here, Julie didn’t have confidence that she could definitely run away.

This Shia had a foul mouth and a brain problem, but her attack power and field control ability were quite terrifying.

“Then what will you do if we promise you here, but then back out and quit afterward, or even publicize this plan?” At this moment, Saul opened his mouth and asked.

He asked this question not so much because he would do so himself, but because he was worried that the others would leak the information.

He didn’t like being betrayed by his companions.

Shia understood what Saul was talking about, and he took out two scrolls from his sleeves.

“This is a secret language contract, a product of the contracted goblins. We agree on the contents, write them on it, and sign our names, so we don’t have to worry about anyone leaking our plans.”

“Pact Goblin?” Sol took the scroll and unfolded it for a closer look.

Shia didn’t stop him.

For a sorcerer to sign a contract, he naturally had to figure out the content and carrier of the contract first.

If Saul didn’t scrutinize it, it was only then that Shaya had to wonder if Saul had some kind of conspiracy.

“How did you do it? Both a spatial teleportation spell formation and a secret language contract for contracting a goblin?” Julie, after Saul examined it, also brought it over for a closer look, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

The goblin clan was much rarer than the elf and dwarf clans that had once existed.

About the place where goblins were born and lived was not recorded by low-level wizard books. Perhaps the higher-ranked wizards knew more about it, while the lower-ranked wizards often only heard the name of the race.

Only companion goblins, which need to live with a wizard, are more common.

And contract goblins are even rarer than companion goblins.

“You don’t need to know the source.” Shia disliked Julie’s question again, “Contract goblins are also called cursed goblins, and once you break the contract they witness, you will be harassed endlessly.”

Perhaps fearing that Saul didn’t understand contract goblins, Shaya took the initiative to explain, “They may not have the ability to kill you, but they will wait until one of your critical experiments and suddenly come out to mess up, causing your years and decades of hard work to go down the drain. Or push you when you are in danger, making you lose your chance to escape. And you won’t know when its vengeance will end, and will live in restlessness forever.”

Saul tsked his tongue, the consequences of breaking the contract were quite troublesome.

At this time, Penny attached herself to Saul’s ear and whispered, “Brother Saul, if you can kill the cursed goblin that appears, you don’t actually have to worry about paying the price of breaking the contract.”

Saul immediately asked Penny in his mind, “How strong are the cursed goblins?”

“This …… is not certain, they are always sneaking attacks. From what my original master said, it seems that a third-ranked wizard was also teased by a cursed goblin. Didn’t die, but his body mutated uncontrollably during a critical experiment. Anyway, he hadn’t been around for a long time before my master died.”

“Well, I see, the short answer is that I can’t afford to mess with it right now.” Sol conceded outright.
