Regarding Greem’s gratefulness, Mary expressed her disdain.
Mary lightly snorted, then the remaining pool of blood entwined her body fully, transforming into an exquisite red dress.
Greem called back his Demon Alligator and decided to rush back to Adept Tower but Mary, who had just recovered suddenly turned her head and stared at a random direction with her emerald green eyes.
“Wait, what is that thing?”
Greem was startled for a moment. He followed Mary’s line of sight and his glance moved over. He saw a yellowish green rock with a circ.u.mference of 1 meter, placed right in the center of camp.
Ugh… a rock?
Greem’s eyes scanned the surrounding area. Aside from the small and shattered ones that scattered across the entire camp, there wasn’t any large rocks that could be found. But now, a large rock suddenly appeared beside the only broken tent in this camp. It was rather strange and and abrupt.
Previously, Greem had all of his focus on saving Mary therefore he didn’t really bother paying attention to anything that was present in this place. But since what they noticed is clearly abnormal, he quickly activated his Elementium Vision.
Under the observation of the Elementium Vision which allowed him to see through every Elementium, the handsome face of Greem twitched a few times for reasons known only to him.
d.a.m.n, this isn’t a rock, but it’s a…
After his careless mistake of being deceived by the enemy, Greem angrily snapped his finger and commanded the Demon Alligator Hunter to stride towards the ‘rock’.
The ‘rock’ clearly knew it’s trick was already exposed, that’s why before the dirt spear of the Hunter impaled it, this ‘rock’ instantly disintegrated. Actually, it wasn’t disintegrated, but just a Goblin, slightly over one meter tall, putting away its cape, revealing its true form.
“Spare my life, oh great one! Mighty master Adept, please spare my life! Please forgive this Snorlax! This Snorlax is willing to be your slave! Just please, don’t kill Snorlax!”
Upon revealing its true self, the Goblin quickly threw itself onto the ground and kowtowed again and again, begging for his life while miserably howling to no end.
“Ugh… wait!” Greem stopped the Hunter, and said, “You know how to speak in human language? A low-grade creature such as goblin possesses intelligence?”
“Master, Snorlax is no ordinary goblin! Snorlax is the smartest goblin in the world, Snorlax can serve you tea and meals, prepare your sleep bed, and Snorlax can even guard the door for you. Snorlax is the most capable creature!” Realizing this young ‘malefic’ person showing interests on it, the goblin quickly promoted itself.
“What was the trick you used just now? If not because of my sharp vision, I would have been deceived by you.”
“That’s one of the tricks I secretly learned, a combination of a camouflage spell and a partial transformation spell, they are nothing much, really.”
“You know how to cast magic spells?” Greem’s face was plastered with astonishment, “Moreover, you know two magic spells!”
“A-Actually, I-I know three magic spells!” The goblin who called itself Snorlax stammered.
“Three? What’s the third spell you know?” Greem felt the world as he knew it, had turned upside down.
Even a mere goblin could master three magic spells, but he… up until now, he seemed to have only mastered four, no, the Flaming Spear was just a variance of Fire Arrow. Therefore, strictly speaking, he only mastered three magic spells!
Not knowing the complicated thoughts this young apprentice had on his head, Snorlax said under its breath with an embarra.s.sed tone, “I… I also know I-Invisibility.”
Greem was completely speechless!
A goblin, which was regarded by the entire Adept world as the weakest demon beast, could actually possess its very own intelligence, and even master three magic spells. What were all these spells? Invisibility, Camouflage, Partial Transformation… these skills made it an expert in stealth. If not because Greem had the Elementium Vision, and Mary had the ability to sense life aura, perhaps this little guy with the name of Snorlax would really be able to avoid today’s unexpected calamity!
Greem cupped his hand under his chin, and contemplated.
At the time when he was still pondering what should he do to this strange goblin, Snorlax became frightened by Greem’s serious expression and quickly waved its hands around and exposed a bigger secret.
“Your mightyness, you don’t want to kill Snorlax! Snorlax knows a secret treasure of a master Adept. Snorlax can bring you there!”
If there was still anything that could move Greem today, what Snorlax said just now was definitely the one.
Greem’s pupils contracted, and he clenched his jaw tightly and said the following words with a cold voice, “Looks like you are an escaped magical slave from an Adept Tower. Tell me, which Adept Tower did you come from?”
Greem finally understood. How could a wild goblin suddenly be blessed with basic intelligence? Even if it did have it, from where could it get in touch with the mysterious and profound magical knowledge it possessed? Therefore, putting all those clues together, Greem came to the conclusion that this must be a magical slave who accidentally escaped from its Adept Tower that belonged to an unknown official Adept.
Snorlax hesitated for a few moments. Its tiny eyeb.a.l.l.s could be seen moving around, but seeing the razor sharp dirt spear of the Hunter pressing against its shoulder, it realized there wasn’t any possibility of escape from this situation.
Probably thinking that it didn’t have any chance of surviving if it didn’t tell the truth, Snorlax bowed his head down in sorrow and said out a name.
