Chapter 1659 Transfer!
Six hundred years ago.
Demon Realm, the edge of the endless forest.
The entrance to the small settlement in Goberlin.
"Everyone pack your things and come with me!"
Babayak poked his head out from a suddenly appearing spatial rift and shouted loudly to the busy Goberlings not far away.
Upon hearing this, all of Goebel were taken aback.
Then his gaze shifted up and down between Babayak's golden skull mask and the purplish-black ore fragment he was holding in his hand.
After a long while, it wasn't until Goebel, who was quick-witted, reacted that he exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh!? Isn't that Babayak?"
Once the conversation had begun, the rest of the Gobelins started chattering away, one after another:
"Didn't Babayak go to the big tribe with Lord Li Yun? How come he's back already?"
"Yes, yes, where did Lord Li Yun go?"
"What is that dark purple stone he's holding? Are there stones like that in the Holy Land?"
"I've never seen it before, it seems really impressive..."
Seeing that the Gobelins were only discussing the matter and none of their backers had come forward, Babayak became even more anxious and roared:
"Stop dawdling! If you want to live, pack your things and come with me!"
"If we leave too late, we'll all die here!"
His harsh words gradually made Gobelins and his colleagues, who had initially taken the matter lightly, realize the seriousness of the situation.
"What exactly happened, Babayak?"
Gobelin, who usually prided himself on having a good relationship with Babayak, asked:
Why should we leave? Isn't it fine staying here?
"And where did Lord Li Yun go? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"What if we leave and Lord Li Yun can't find us when he returns?"
Babayak was taken aback, and a troubled look appeared on his face.
He really hadn't thought about how to explain it.
Fortunately, he had already put on the [Gold-Etched Mask] on his face.
The mask concealed his expression, leaving only a cold and elusive image for the Gobelins and their men not far away.
After a moment's thought, Babayak said urgently:
"Leaving this place is an order from Lord Li Yun!"
"The large tribe has discovered the ruins of a god, but they've run into serious problems during the exploration!"
"If you don't leave, when the great demon Kil'jaeden, who is in charge of exploring that ruin, arrives, you will all be taken away and turned into sacrificial offerings!"
Towards the end, Babayak told a little lie.
After all, explaining the truth to one's compatriots word by word is simply too time-consuming.
Moreover, even after explaining, it might not be enough to get them moving.
Let's make it as terrifying as possible!
Let's relocate all the Gobelins from the small settlements first.
Afterwards, once we reached the depths of the endless forest and were completely safe, we had plenty of time to explain.
Upon hearing that they would become sacrifices if they did not leave, the Goberlings in the settlement panicked.
They immediately scattered like birds and beasts, each returning to their own homes to gather what they considered important items.
Babayak breathed a sigh of relief and was preparing to widen the spatial rift further so that the other Gobelins could pass through smoothly.
Just then, another head emerged from the rift space behind him.
It is Glarigon.
"Babayak, what about Elder Mit?"
Glargon also held a shard of ore similar to the one Babayak held, blackish-purple in color with sharp edges.
As he spoke, his unconscious hand movements caused the sharp tip of the ore to glide through the air, leaving faint white marks.
"Elder Mit is still in the large tribe. We need to lead our people from the smaller settlements to retreat. We can't leave him behind, can we?"
Babayak reached out and pressed down on Gerargon's flailing right arm, frowning as he replied:
"Elder Mite and Lord Li Yun are staying together, so they should be safe in the short term."
"Let's settle most of the people down first, and then we can consider bringing Elder Mite back when there's an opportunity later."
"That's true... After all, we now have this kind of magical ore, which makes it quite convenient for us to come and go in the Sanctuary."
As he spoke, Gerargon proudly waved the stone in his hand.
However, before the smile could linger on his face for long, Babayak glared at him fiercely from the side.
"Be careful!"
"We don't fully understand the purpose of this stone at all. Let's not mess things up and end up killing ourselves!"
"How could that be!" Glargon said dismissively, with a broad smile.
"Lord Li Yun has said that you will live to be a full 618 years old!"
"If I were toss this rock and kill you right now, wouldn't you only live to be 10 years old?"
“Glargon!” Babayak’s voice was filled with anger, revealing a hint of the demeanor of a superior.
He repeated, word by word:
"I'm telling you to watch out, understand?!"
Glargon's face paled, and he obediently held the ore fragment in his hand, nodding in agreement:
"I...I understand..."
As a low-level monster, Goberlin has a very low chance of accumulating wealth on a daily basis, and apart from necessary food, he doesn't actually have anything to carry.
Adding to that Babayak's earlier intimidation, the already fast speed of the group increased even further.
The efficiency is exceptionally high.
Before long, the Goberin people in the settlement formed a long line in front of the spatial rift.
Babayak and Gerargon used ore fragments to widen the passage while simultaneously counting the number of people who had entered the rift.
He instructed the Gobelins not to run around or touch anything after they passed by.
Once most of the people in the settlement had left, Babayak began to set fire to the makeshift shacks, destroying any trace that might indicate their whereabouts.
Seeing Babayak's actions, Gobelin, who hadn't left yet, asked Gerargon with considerable sadness:
"Aren't we coming back?"
“He definitely won’t be back anytime soon. Coming back would mean certain death. Do you want to die?” Glargon looked at the burned-down shack, showing little emotion, and replied with a smirk:
"On the other side of the rift lies the depths of an endless forest, rich in resources, enough for us to live on for a long time."
"And there are no great demons to exploit us. Our lives are entirely in our own hands. How wonderful!"
"But what if the Great Demon comes after us?" Gobelin asked anxiously.
"For low-level monsters like us, if we try to escape and get caught, the consequences are worse than death..."
"Tch, they'd have to catch him first." A hint of disdain flashed across Glargon's face as he glanced enviously at Babayak, who was setting the fire, and gestured with his chin.
"We now have a chosen one of the gods!"
"Huh? A chosen one? Who is that?" Gobelin asked, his face full of surprise, following Glargon's gaze into the distance.
Before the result could reach Babayak, a sudden burst of teleportation light forcibly drew his attention.
