Chapter 621: Stop Running Away (2/2)

“Uncle Hai...... carry them and escape!”

In the end, the two voices vanished and were replaced with Shanna’s voice.

The scene flashing across his mind was the two sparkling green teardrops that flowed down her cheeks.

“If Ayrin and the others were here, the result would have been different.”

“Why...... Why are you so useless? When can you become a little more useful and mature?”

“Can you stop slacking to the point you don’t even want to think?”

“I beg you...... Please become more useful in future.”

Her voice echoed in Stingham’s head.

“Ah!” Stingham grabbed his head and cried out like a wild beast.

“Rinloran......”

He hugged the Green Dragon Spear leaning next to his bed and cried.

On the roof of a building opposite of the infirmary, Liszt laid on a stone block and looked up at the sky. Hearing the faint crying sound, he shook his head and sighed.

Can Stingham only mature after his companions sacrifice themselves?

......

Taimille Village, Goblin Store.

Although it was also located in the east of the Kingdom of Doa, it was mostly left untouched by the flames of war. This was because there were no influential lords or Corps strongholds in this territory. Life in this rural village was no different than before.

The owner of this ancient goblin shop was the descendant of a goblin and human. He was a short old man with green-colored skin.

Based on his appearance, the old man was really old and could die at any moment. However, he knew very well if nothing went wrong, the unique power in his body would let him live for a long time. There would not be a problem for another few centuries.

Ring...... Ring...... Ring......

The bell at the door rang.

An unfamiliar youth entered the ancient goblin shop.

After sensing a trace of the familiar aura, the shop owner began trembling.

“Where’s the item I entrusted to you?”

The old man kneeled down in reply and kissed the shoe tip of the youth.

“My master, your loyal servant Preggin has been waiting for your arrival.”

He retrieved a metal box from the secret chamber under his seat.

Whoosh!

The moment the metal box was opened, evil purplish black particles filled the entire shop.

“Well done!” The sonorous and greedy voice said.

The purplish black particles were instantly devoured by the youth’s body.

Within the metal box, there was a piece of a grey Dragon Crystal shard and a cross-shaped key reflecting a mysterious light.

Psst!

A chain condensed from grey light connected to the Dragon Crystal shard.

The shard rapidly dissolved and seeped into the youth’s body.

The arcane energy fluctuation released by the youth grew stronger at an astonishing speed. Meanwhile, he showed a pained look.

A moonlight-like mark dimly shone on his forehead.

“Bastard!” He roared out.

The old man did not know the source of the youth’s anger and stuck to the ground with even greater fear, not daring to raise his head.

The sonorous voice said to the old man, “As a reward for your loyalty, I will grant you great strength and glory!”

“Your name will be recorded in history for future generations!”

Whoosh!

A grey halo landed on the old man.

The old man’s body instantly vaporized. A twisting light flew up and landed on the cross-shaped key.
