The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 327 - Moon Tower

Souta and Lynn went inside a pub. Some of the people glanced at them while the rest didn’t care about them.

Souta sat in the front and said, "Give me something light." He didn’t like to drink alcohol so he doesn’t have any idea what’s good or bad.

Lynn sat beside him. She wasn’t focused on the person in front of Souta. Her role was to sense if there were dangerous people in the club.

She could detect B-rank and A-rank even if they tried to conceal their mana. As long as they were below S-rank, nothing could escape her senses.

She was reliable and dangerous at the same time. She was dangerous because Souta was hiding a lot of secrets.

"Okay..." The man turned to Lynn and asked, "What about you?"

"Don’t bother her," Souta said as he squinted his eyes.

"Fine..." The man nodded as he continued to prepare Souta’s order. While he was preparing he glanced at Souta and asked, "Are you new here?"

"Yeah..." Souta nodded and he moved forward to asked, "How did you know?"

"How? It’s simple. No one would dare to attack the store owner or worker in this city. That’s the rule of this city." The man smiled at him. "I felt the intent in your gaze so I guess that you’re new here."

"Oh...? There’s such rule..." Souta sighed and decided to ask the man while placing several silver coins on the table. "I just arrived so I’m ignorant to most of the things in this city. Can you explain to me everything starting from the ruling factions?"

"It can’t be helped..." The man sighed and he began to explain the things that Souta needed to know in this city. "The rules aren’t that hard to follow. First, is that no one should provoke the members of the three ruling factions. If someone dared to do it, then it would mean a challenge to the throne of this city. The ruling faction who got provoked would retaliate at full force."

The second rule was that no one should harm the store owner or staff in this city. It was hard to do business in this chaotic city so the three ruling factions decided to create a law to protect these people. They knew that if there’s no business in this city, then the city would collapse easily. That’s why they established a law to protect the people who want to create a business here in this city.

Aside from those two... There’s nothing else. They could even fight here but they had to pay for the properties that they destroyed in their fight. They could even kill someone as long as that person didn’t belong to the three ruling factions.

"But I suggest you to leave this place..." The man said with a serious expression as he placed Souta’s order on the table.

Souta took a sip of the wine before he asked, "Why...?"

"There’s a crack between the three factions. A day ago, the Moon Tower grew rampant. They must be planning something large as they didn’t care even if they offend the Cloud Tower and Sea Tower." The man paused for a moment before he added in a low voice, "I think a battle will break out at any moment right now. If that time comes, we don’t know what will happen to this city."

"Oh...? I didn’t know about it. Thanks for warning me." Souta said she drunk a glass of wine in one go before he stood up. "Can you tell me, where’s the territory of the Moon Tower?"

"The Dark Purple Tower in the northeast is the Moon Tower." The man answered his question.

"Thanks..." Souta said as he waved his hand and left the pub with Lynn following him from behind.

Outside the pub, he stopped moving as he felt a wave of faint mana in his pocket.

Hmm...?

He checked it out and found that the mana was coming from the transmission talisman. Someone was trying to connect to him.

He poured his mana and established a connection.

"Where are you?! You have a promise to me!! Where are you, Souta?!!"

Souta frowned as he heard a familiar voice. The person on the other side of the transmission talisman was Yanagi Shina. Now that she mentioned it, he recalled promising her to do one thing for her.

He glanced at Lynn and saw her confused expression. "Yanagi Shina. She’s on the other side." He said in a low voice while pointing at the talisman.

"Oh?" Lynn understood him. Yanagi was part of their legion and she was special in their group.

"I didn’t forget your favor. I’m doing something for now. I will be back there next week." Souta replied to her.

"Next week?! That’s too long! You said that you will do anything!"

"I’m doing something important. I will not return until I’ve finished what I’m going to do here." Souta said to her with a helpless expression.

"Then, tell me your location! I’ll go there by myself!" Yanagi said.

"Just stay there and wait for me," Souta said as he cut the connection. He placed back the talisman in his pocket and felt Yanagi calling him once again.

He decided to ignore her for the rest of this mission. He will talk to her later after he rescued Cl.u.s.ter from the hands of the Moon Tower.

The Moon Tower was in the northeast part of the city. He knew that Yujin and Lumilia went in that direction.

Souta placed his hand in his pocket and connect his talisman to Lumilia’s talisman.

"Hello, Souta..."

"Yes, I’m Souta. I’ve just learned the tower in your direction is the Moon Tower. I’m going to leave that tower to you." Souta said to her.

"Yes, we’ll do everything that we can to know everything about the Moon Tower," Lumilia replied to him.

"Good. I’ll be counting on you." Souta smiled as he cut off the connection and placed back the talisman in his pocket.

Souta and Lynn decided to eat first so they went to the nearest cheap restaurant. He ordered a simple meal for two people.

"Is that Mila?" Lynn asked from the side.

"Yes, I just told her to investigate the Moon Tower. According to the information that we’ve got, the Moon Tower is going to fight the other ruling factions of this city. So before that happened we need to rescue Cl.u.s.ter." Souta paused for a moment before he added, "There’s a possibility that Cl.u.s.ter is the reason why the Moon Tower became unbridled."

"Yeah, that man said that the Moon Tower grew rampant a day ago so it’s possible that the man who kidnapped Cl.u.s.ter just arrived here," Lynn said in a low voice.

’Do you want to rescue that child? It’s easy... just use my power and your earring. That way you can wipe out everyone below S-rank. But that will expose the power of your earrings.’ Saya suddenly said to him.

Saya was right. He could wipe out everyone in this city as long as they were below S-rank but that’s the case if the leader of this organization didn’t possess a high-grade weapon.

Most of the people that he fought in the past didn’t have high-grade weapons. Gregory didn’t have any weapons. Randolf too was just using his fists at him. Also, the seven-circle officers didn’t have any weapons as Bargan turned their orange-grade weapons into ashes.

He always had a great advantage because of his weapons and equipment.

This time was different. He was in the territory of his enemies. He could expect that the leader of this organization possessed at least an orange-grade weapon. Even if his opponent was just a B-rank, it would be different as long as his opponent has high-grade weapons.

His equipment advantage would become less in the future.

"We can leave the Moon Tower to Yujin and Lumilia. Our plan right now is to know more about the other two towers." Souta said to Lynn.

"I understand." Lynn nodded her head.

After they finished eating the two head out and went straight to the nearest tower.

...

Lumilia and Yujin were sitting in a chair. In front of them were the drinks that they ordered.

Lumilia placed the talisman in her pocket. Souta just call them and gave them the information that he gathered.

"Hmm... So this one is the Moon Tower? Cl.u.s.ter is somewhere inside it." Yujin muttered as he raised his head and looked at the giant tower close to them.

The Moon Tower was just right beside them. They were observing the people who were going inside and outside of the tower when Souta called them.

The Moon Tower’s height was five hundred meters and it was full of barriers that could block any spell under tier 3. It was made of high-grade materials so it wouldn’t break easily even if the barrier was shattered.

Yujin and Lumilia couldn’t imagine how rich the person who built this tower. Even the nobles from the Hebrei Kingdom couldn’t be able to afford this tower.

"The question is... How are we going to know the structure of this tower?" Yujin mumbled.
