The goblin guy stopped Lucifer.

But, Lucifer didn’t hear him, so I had to speak for him.

“Hey, wait, there must be a reason why he doesn’t want this bastard killed! Let’s listen to him!”

Lucifer sighed in unison with the merchant, who sighed in relief.

“What?” Lucifer asked.

“I am sorry, sir Dragon… It’s just that the merchant is the one who has made the contracts with our families. If we kill him, all those slaves that belong to him will also die due to the contract imbued into their collars! T-These bastards manipulated us like this before….” The Goblin explained.

“Hmm… Cunning bastard,” Said Lucifer, squinting his eyes at the trembling fat merchant.

He placed him on the ground as the merchant nodded.

“T-That’s right, you filthy beasts! I-If you kill me, all your families will die with me! Hahaha! S-So you better not kill me!” He shouted.

“How can we cancel the contract?” I asked.

“There must be some papers inside his caravan. The contracts are written on a seal paper… If we destroy them, we can free our people….” The Goblin replied.

What an intricate system. I guess Lucifer would have ended killing everyone inside by accident… oops.

I intimidated the pig into looking for the papers, but he didn’t want unless we promised to not kill him afterward.

What a pain.

“[Possession],”

I used my vast mana pool and possessed him.

Right away, I got access to all of his mind through his brain and learned where his contracts were.

Using his own body, I broke each paper until the very last one.

When the contracts were broken, the collars deactivated and fell onto the ground.

The monsters inside the cages were freed by the goblins right afterward.

“Papa!”

“Gobina!”

“Dear, I was so scared….”

“Everything is going to be okay now….”

“T-Thank you so much! How can we ever repay you for this?” Asked one of the Goblins, who explained that he was the chief of the tribe.

“Hmm, how about you invite us to your tribe?”

“O-Oh! For sure! B-But can… Sir Lucifer go back to his humanoid form?” The goblin asked, shaking timidly.

Ah yes, if he goes like that, he’ll surely make a fuss.

“Oh, sometimes I forget to change back,”

Lucifer changed back and was now ready to walk like a person and not a giant winged lizard.

And about the merchant? I decided to keep him alive. I was going to use him as a puppet of sorts to infiltrate into society and get info I cannot easily access… Mostly out of just fun, though.

I brainwashed him while possessing him, and he became my mindless servant.

Of course, with a single order, he’ll go back to “normal”.

But even then…

“Are you guys okay with her keeping him alive?” Asked Lucifer.

“Ah, well, it is fine. He has already paid. His eyes look like those of a dead fish,” Said the chief.

“I brainwashed him after possessing him, so don’t worry, he’ll be a submissive and good merchant from now on.” I explained.

I had already saved the caravan and everything inside of it in my Inventory. freewebn ovel.c om

As we made our way down the road, we arrived near a large lake to the east. It was surrounded by a small forest where the Goblins had made their home.

The tribe was very tribalistic. They had tents instead of proper houses and lived very simple lives of hunting and gathering to survive.

They mostly got their food from the fish in the lake, but sometimes they told me they went to hunt Horned Rabbits or Big Boars, although it took many of them to beat a single boar.

Also, every time they did it, they gained EXP, and sometimes they even leveled up. The Chief was the highest level at level 11, but that was it. Even a Level 11 G-Rank monster is still very weak…

I left the merchant inside of my [Shadow Storage] with some food and water and decided to forget about him for the moment.

The beautiful goblin village was very simplistic, but there was undoubtedly a charm around this place. The people were very nice and welcoming with us too. The chief made a big feast in honor of the people they rescued. As the food was being cooked, he and his daughter began to explain to us what had happened with them.

“It happened around a week ago… these groups of men raided our village suddenly, and using their strength, they beat us and killed five of our men. Afterward, they took away our women to sell as sex slaves… This wasn’t the first time that humans have tried to raid us, although the previous times we managed to change our village’s position and fool them, but this time they were too fast and strong… Since then, we had been following them until we finally managed to catch them off guard, but even then, they were too strong,” The chief sighed.

“Oh damn… you would have ended up dead if we hadn’t arrived then… I am glad we were able to help you out. Also, killing humans felt pretty good for some reason,” I said.

Damn, I’ve become an edge lord.

“I see… Damn humans, why do they love to pick on the weak so much? Your tribe is just living peacefully here with nature? Humans’ greedy nature simply sickens me to no end… If our Demon lord was here, he would have taught them a lesson!” Lucifer shouted in anger.

“Demon Lord… It has been a long time since I heard that name…”

Suddenly, an old goblin walked near us and sat down at my side.

“Oho, such a pretty lady….” He said, rubbing his beard and looking at my figure.

“Elder! What are you doing awake? Go back to your bed. You’re still sick….” The chief said.

“Geez, I do whatever I want!” Roared the old man, using his staff to hit the head of the chief.

It was a bit comical.

“You’ve heard about the Demon Lord?” Lucifer asked.

“Why yes, my grandfather used to be part of his army, though, I don’t know how many years ago… He used to tell me tales about his bravery and how he fought back against humanity’s tyranny,” The Goblin Elder began to explain.
