Chapter 121: The Plunge (1/2)
'Goblin Lord?' Kace wondered, confused for a moment. 'Oh right, I have a title called that.' Kace quickly checked his stats to make sure he remembered correctly. So much time had passed since he had even seen a goblin that he had completely forgotten about it.
Seeing his hesitation, Lorget felt a spark of hope. Just like his comrade who had confirmed the one before him was a Goblin Lord, he could sense the same thing. The only problem was that Kace did not look like any Goblin he knew of. 'Something's not right with this...'
”Why should I follow you?” Kace asked as he noticed the confusion on Lorget's face. He seemed to be thinking about something, and Kace did not want him to get any funny ideas.
”Why? Why?” Lorget said incredulously, ”Why else? Because of Master Shadow! Forget it! Just come with me! He will explain everything. You won't regret it!”
Truth be told, Lorget was unsure whether it actually be beneficial to Kace. Despite what his instincts were telling him, no matter how he looked at him, he just did not look like a goblin. There was a genuine possibility that Shadow would think that he was pulling some kind of trick. Maybe even kill him on the spot. Lorget did not care about all of that, though. The only thing that mattered to him was taking Kace back alive. Otherwise, it might be the end for him for failing.
Kace was unsure about what he should do. His title should ensure his safety amongst goblins and he kind of missed the little guys. It would nice to have them around again. He had no idea how the vampires would react to them, though. For all, he knew they were enemies. His relationship with the queen might become damaged if she finds out about it.
He looked at it from a few different angles. The best-case scenario would be if he could bring the goblins in as allies, while at the same time keeping everyone ignorant of their existence. It could make them a powerful card to play in emergencies.
'I think you should go with him,” Sylvan's voice played in his mind. 'If anything goes wrong a few goblins will be nothing to worry about.'
Kace pondered over what Sylvan said. Sure, they could probably kill them all if shit went down. After all, goblins were not exactly well known for being strong. It was their numbers that made them terrifying. 'Ok then, let's see where this goes.'
”Fine. Just remember I'll kill you first if anything goes wrong.” Kace replied to the small creature, making sure that their eyes met in the process.
Lorget felt a chill enter his body. Originally, he would have been confident if they were surrounded by the tribe. However, the look in Kace's eyes at this moment made him feel otherwise. The only question was, who was stronger? Shadow? Or the monster before him? Lorget hoped that he would not have to find out.
With an audible gulp, he motioned to Kace to follow him as he walked the room's doorway. Peering out into the corridor, he looked up and down the hallway to make sure that it was empty. 'Good, we can move. It's going to be hard with him tagging along.' Lorget thought as a cold breeze ruffled his dress.
