The gargoyle behind her swiftly gripped the goblin s head and with a swift motion.

It burst apart like a watermelon.

Warm greenish white matter splattered across the face of a nearby goblin who trembled in terror.

Even sunsho standing behind by you was startled as though the gargoyle had crushed not the goblin s head but her own.

I shall pose a question and you shall provide the answer.

Should you comply, I might spare your lives.

By you's voice resonated in the ears of the five goblins, causing the previously defiant one to immediately kneel.

I shall speak.

Esteemed human warrior, please grant me my life.

Traitor, a nearby defiant goblin attempted to silence the betrayer, but was abruptly struck aside by a fireball from Bayou, which melted half of its shoulder, leaving it wailing on the ground.

Ah, my hand.

My hand.

The agonizing cries of this goblin thoroughly terrified the remaining three who quickly knelt in indignation before Bayou.

So, there are those who fear death.

After all, Bayou is convinced that as long as one possessed intellect, fear of death was a universal trait.

Very well.

The first question, why are you here? The goblins of the marsh were dispatched by our kingdom of gnomes to monitor the frigid snow mountain.

Today marked the appointed time for contact with the goblins only to discover that their tribe had been annihilated, prompting our investigation.

The trembling gnome, kneeling on the ground, spoke with trepidation.

And upon hearing this, Bayou grasped the situation and became intrigued.

It seemed these gnomes suspected the local lord of the deed.

And coincidentally, Sun Shia<unk>s castle lay nearby with reports indicating that Sun Shia Xiao<unk>s troops have been responsible for the slaughter.

Bayou surmised that a skirmish had erupted between the gnomes and son Xiao's crimson blood demon apes.

By an ironic twist of fate, Arthur and his companions were upgrading in the vicinity and encountered this group of gnomes, leading to a confrontation.

It turned out that the goblins were merely a watchful eye of the gnome kingdom stationed at the snow mountain.

Yet, they were too feeble to maintain a presence there and had to retreat to the marshlands.

What lies above the snow mountain? Bayou inquired.

Following up on the gnome's words, the small gnome confessed ignorance, stating he was but an ordinary member following orders and knew little more.

Suddenly, Bayou considered the possibility that the Howling Moon Silverwolf clan residing on the snow mountain was similarly tasked with some form of observation as the goblins had been.

Do you know the origins of the Howling Moon Silverwolves? Are you pressed? The gnome responded.

I know that they belong to a branch of weirwolves from the pinnacle of mountains and their strength is comparatively weak.

They too must have been sent to the snow mountain on a mission.

Pinnacle of mountains, you pondered, realizing that behind the howling moon silver wolves there existed a larger werewolf organization, relegating them to mere cannon fodder.

How does the pinnacle of mountains compare to your gnome kingdom? Strong.

Just a bit stronger.

By you express skepticism at the gnome's assertion.

Yes, indeed stronger than our gnome kingdom.

The conversation continued as by you sought further insights into the magical continent.

Though the gnomes possessed limited knowledge, the magical continent was not a singular landmass, but was divided into seven vast continents separated by the boundless endless sea which only beings of divine realms could traverse alone.

The continent whereby you resided was known as Marshall continent, expansive beyond comprehension, likely due to the gnome's weakness resulting in their scant understanding of this land.

According to the gnomes, Marshall continent had never been unified throughout its history.

While they remained unaware of intelligence from the other six continents, it was plausible that Marshall continent was among the most chaotic.

The most formidable factions included the demon race, angel race, titan race, and dragon race.

While the human race, elf race, orc race, and dwarf race were slightly weaker, yet still notable powers.

Of course, this pertains specifically to the forces within Marshall continent.

It was rumored that the strength of the human race was far beyond mere appearances.

The influence of the holy court, for instance, spanned all seven continents of the magical continent.

The dragon race too directly ruled an entire continent while the depths of the endless sea held the enigmatic sea god race among others.

However, such claims remained unverified, mere hearsay for ordinary factions, even departing from Marshall continent posed significant challenges, let alone gaining knowledge of the powers on other continents.

Surely a far-fetched notion by you and his fellow lords numbering in the billions are indeed scattered across the seven continents.

The indigenous human tribes of the magical realm perceive these lords as foreign entities harboring intentions to exterminate them.

Other races similarly regard the lords as invaders from another world, displaying considerable animosity towards them.

Presently Bayou has acquired a fundamental understanding of this magical continent.

In essence, this conflict represents a struggle between all lords and the native races of the magical realm with the grim possibility that only one faction may emerge victorious.

The dynamics between the lords and the indigenous races mirror this sentiment as they share a common foe while simultaneously waging their own battles.

This information is already profound enough for Bayou, not to mention the impact it has had on Sun Shia Sha, who has experienced a complete upheaval of her worldview.

She may have once envisioned the concept of all lords competing for supremacy as merely a game among them.

Chapter 59.

Return to the castle, esteemed human warrior.

We have expressed all that we needed to say.

We implore you to honor your promise and spare us.

The goblins had anticipated that Bou would inquire about the goblin kingdom.

Yet to their surprise, he merely asked for some fundamental information.

Knowledge that any intelligent race in this enchanted realm would possess.

It is understandable.

After all, these visitors from another world had only recently arrived in this magical land and were not yet privy to such details.

The goblins had already resolved that upon their return to the goblin kingdom, they would seek assistance for revenge.

Among these foreign entities there existed some with considerable strength.

Unlike the feeble beings that surrounded their homeland by nodded, affirming, "Indeed, I am a man of my word.

I shall not take your lives.

" The goblins were overwhelmed with joy.

Astonished at the apparent foolishness of this human, they rose, eager to flee.

Roar! Arthur unleashed a torrent of dragon breath, engulfing the four goblins entirely.

Before they could even comprehend their fate, they had departed from this world.

I said I would not kill.

That applies to me alone, but I never stated that my minions would refrain from doing so.

By you remarked, Arthur, have the undead carry these goblin corpses back to the castle.

With the goblins vanquished, Bayou compassionately commanded the undead to commence the cleanup, contributing a modest effort towards the environmental preservation of this magical continent.

Son Shia Sha had initially thought Bayou intended to dismantle the corpses for some purpose.

Stop doawling.

Let's go.

Bayou skillfully leaped onto the back of Gargoyle, which ascended slowly into the air.

Sun Sha Sha summoned her trusty little yellow cloud once more, following Bayou into the skies.

With Bayou leading and Sunshow Sha and Toe, they soared towards a castle.

Given their current master servant relationship, which was immutable, the unique enhancements of Bayou's castle benefited Sun Sha Sha as well.

As she entered Bayou's territory, she noticed a significant increase in the speed of her little yellow cloud.

And at the same time, she felt a surge of strength within herself.

Immediately, Sun Sha Sha checked her attributes and gasped, "Oh, I've leveled up.

Ah, that is the special architectural bonus of my castle.

It ceases to exist once you leave the territory by you explained to the astonished Sun Sha Sha.

In that moment, Sun Sha Sha was left in awe, for she had never encountered such extraordinary structures before.

Were their attributes truly that formidable? It dawned on her that she had the ability to view certain information about Bayou.

Affiliated Lord Bay son Shia Sha was rendered speechless.

realizing that Bayou surpassed her in every conceivable aspect.

Moreover, she could not discern the specific nature of Bayou's special structures, only their quantity.

She had assumed that possessing one remarkable building was already absurd, yet Bayou had six.

Not only had he reached the commanding level of power, but his castle was also at maximum capacity.

This revelation struck her with overwhelming despair.

In comparison, she felt utterly insignificant.

The stealth effect of the concealed chandelier did not apply to Sun Sha Sha.
