The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak-Novel

Chapter 506 - Warning

Saya explained to him the secret of Archetype.

He finally got to know that only people that reached SSS-rank experts had the right to talk about this type of skill.

The [Archetype: Vajra Extremity] had fifteen forms and each form had various uses. The one he just used was for attacking several enemies at the same time in every direction.

It was a set of skills.

It also increased his level and he was currently Level 51. It even gave him a bunch of skill points and free attribute points. It was definitely worth his time.

He was close to his fourth evolution which was Level 60. He was Level 51 and he had three Level-up Cards in his arsenal that he could use anytime. It means that he only needed six levels and he would be able to reach Level 60.

But he didn't think that his fourth evolution was far in the future. He was currently in the middle of the chain quest so he was sure that he would receive a bunch of cards after he complete it.

"I'm satisfied with the result. It's time to go out."

Souta said as he turned around and approach Amanda and Yenxa. It's time to talk to Eilish and hear what she wanted to say.

An hour had passed quickly...

Souta arrived on the red light district and he immediately went to the largest brothel which was Eilish's mansion.

When the guards saw him, they quickly approach him and said, "Sir, we've been expecting you. I will guide you to Lady Eilish's room."

"Okay." Souta nodded while observing the female guards.

These guards were all B-rank experts. Eilish really had a strong foundation in this city. As expected of a shackled realm expert. They were only the only ones who could gather hundreds of B-rank in the same group.

Soon, Souta arrived in front of Eilish's room.

"My Lady, he is here."

"Good. You can go now."

"As you wish, My Lady."

The female guards bowed in front of the door before they left without making any sound.

Souta glanced at their back before he heard Eilish's voice once again.

"Come in."

He shrugged his shoulder and entered the room.

"Welcome."

Eilish smiled when she saw Souta. She was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed in front of her. Her chin was resting on her palm and she looked very alluring.

"What want to have a go with me again?"

Her smile grew wider after she saw him observing her body.

Souta shook his head as he sat down on a vacant chair and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Direct to the point, huh?"

"Yeah, you are the one who gave me the information about the Witch Clan's hidden base so I think you have an idea about what's happening."

"I have an idea but I don't know the exact details. What you've found in the hidden base is something that even I don't have any idea about." Eilish's smile vanished as she directly looked into Souta's eyes. She added, "I think that we went too far this time."

"Why?" Souta raised his eyebrows. He wondered if this was related to the group of people that he found in the hidden base.

"Have you noticed the tense atmosphere of the city?" Eilish asked.

"Yeah, what about it? Ah, don't tell me..." Souta felt that his guess was right.

"You are right. I also think that this is connected to what you found in that place. Just what did you discover in that place?"

"I didn't discover anything. A group of people is currently occupying that place. They blocked me so I decided to retreat for the time being."

"An unknown group of people and currently the Union Peace is investigating the city. These two are connected so you should get out of this city for a while." Eilish warned him. "Union Peace had a lot of ways to find you as long as you are in this city."

"Don't worry, I will leave this city tonight," Souta said to her.

"What are you planning? Are you going back to the hidden base?" Eilish asked.

"Yes, I have to know the secret of the Witch Clan." Souta nodded.

"...I have a suggestion," Eilish said to him after a bit of consideration.

"What is it?" Souta asked with a curious look. He didn't know what this woman was planning for him. He just knew that he needed to be careful.

Eilish didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she stood up and opened her drawing. She then took out a pen and a piece of paper.

Souta watched her write something on the paper.

After a while, Eilish put down the pen and she fold the paper before placing it inside an envelope.

"Here. Go to the city called Paultry and find a dwarf called Gragas. I'm acquainted with him so give this letter to him."

Eilish said as she placed the envelope on the table.

"Why do I have to go to that place?" Souta asked.

"You want to know about the Witch Clan, am I right? Then, Gragas is the right person. He is a dwarf that knew a lot of things about the witches. After all, he wanted to replicate their soul weapon for a long time. I'm sure that you will learn something from him." Eilish paused for a moment before she added, "You don't need to go back to the hidden base for now. I'm sure that the Union Peace gathered some of their forces in that place. If you don't want them to capture you then finding Gragas is the best course of action. For now, that is..."

"Why are you giving me all this information? I thought that you don't want to go against the Union Peace." Souta asked as he narrowed his eyes.

"Actually, I wanted to know the extent of their forces but I don't want to move personally as one mistake could lead me to my downfall. I won't move until I'm sure that I could take them out with my forces. After all, Union Peace is the strongest organization in this world." Eilish said to him.

"So you're using me to test them." Souta's expression turned gloomy.

"What's wrong with that? You are the one who wanted to investigate the Witch Clan even after knowing that it's related to Union Peace." Eilish paused as she turned around and looked at the window. "But I won't let you die easily. That's why I'm stopping you from going to the hidden base once more. I don't know what's waiting for you in that place but I have a bad feeling about it."

"Fine..." Souta sighed. "I will go to the Paultry City tonight."

"Good." Eilish nodded with a smile.

Souta bid farewell before he left the room. He finally understood why Eilish was willing to help him. Union Peace remained as the strongest organization in this world for hundreds of years and no one dared to go against them. So Eilish didn't have an idea if her forces were enough to takedown that gigantic organization or not. After all, no one tested the Union Peace for hundreds of years. Their true strength was unknown.

Eilish stared at Souta's figure until he disappeared.

"The Council of High-World. I don't know if they are willing to help the Union Peace but if the council really planned to take over this world... then, no one would be able to oppose them. It's been a while since someone dared to go against them so I'm planning to watch this till the end."

...

Souta returned to the inn. Amanda was quite surprised when he said that the plan has changed.

"Is this related to that Lady Eilish?"

"Yeah, she said that going to the hidden base right now would be dangerous. So we will go to a city called Paultry and find the dwarf named Gragas. According to her, this particular dwarf seems to know a lot of things about witches so maybe we could learn something from him." Souta explained to her.

"Are you sure about this?" Amanda asked.

"I don't know but I don't think that Eilish will lie to me. If she wanted to earn my trust then she wouldn't give me false information." Souta said to her.

"Okay," Amanda nodded.

"Good. I'm glad that you understand. Our plan could change if we learned some useful information from the dwarf. So always prepare yourself."

"I understand."

Souta, Amanda, and Yenxa left the city after he explained everything. Their destination was one hundred kilometers from the Earthen Core City so it will take some time before they arrive in that place.

...

Eilish was standing in front of the window with a glass of wine in her hand. She was gazing at the bright moon in the dark starry sky.

Knock! Knock!

A knock sounded on her door.

"Come in," Eilish said without looking back.

A female wearing a maid outfit entered the room. She bowed and reported, "My Lady, they left the city thirty minutes ago. From their direction, it seems that they are going to the Paultry City."

"Good." Eilish nodded with a satisfied expression. It seems that Souta heeded her warning. It was a good thing as she heard from her spy that the Union Peace was mobilized one hundred Disaster Realm, thirty Extermination Realm, and seven Annihilation Realm.

This lineup was terrifying for a lone third evolution monster.. Going to the hidden base was a wrong move.
