Chapter 366 - Goblin
"What can I do for you, young sir?" The short person asked.
Aiden looked at him and tried to guess if he was a dwarf or not, but the more he looked at that man, the more he had to admit that he had no idea.
'Well, he has the height of a dwarf, but he doesn't have the other characteristics,' Aiden thought as he compared the person in front of him to the dwarf he had met in the past.
He just wasn't sure, but if he had to give an answer, he'd say that the person in front of him wasn't a dwarf, that would be his final guess after taking into account everything.
"Oh, I see that you came with merchandise," the weird-looking person said as he started approaching Evelynn who wasn't too far from him.
Aiden frowned instantly and got in the middle of the two, "She ain't merchandise, she's here to accompany me."
Aiden had to admit that he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity for all those who were in cages. For some reason, he felt bad about them which wasn't something that would have happened in the past like… ever.
'I don't know, but my emotions just make me take weird decisions, it's annoying,' Aiden thought.
He was getting tired of making mistakes because of those as he knew that it was most likely their fault that he was performing in such a way.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Oh, she isn't… well, I'm sorry though she would have been a great addition, keke."
Aiden couldn't help but be disgusted by that laugh, just what type of person was in front of him. Aiden couldn't contain his questions as he decided to ask them.
"Hey, uh… what are you? Are you a dwarf? A monster? A human? Like what is it," Aiden asked as he wanted to know.
He had to admit that the laugh that this person had just made was close to those that monsters would do which is why he asked if he was a monster, or a type of a monster.
"Oh, you don't know? Just where are you from, haha?" The person answered, seemingly surprised that Aiden had never seen someone that looked like him.
Though, the merchant didn't seem to care as he answered him without thinking.
"Well, I thought it was obvious but I guess it isn't. It's simple really, I'm a goblin."
The goblin made sure to look at the face of Aiden before continuing as he wanted to see if he was going to get weirded out or something similar to that.
However, none of that occurred, as Aiden kept a straight face seemingly having no reaction to the news, at least, physically.
"Oh, disappointing, I thought that you would have been all shocked," the goblin said.
'A goblin? That's a goblin?' Aiden thought as he looked at the short person in front of him.
Aiden was confused for many reasons, the first one was that the goblin in front of her didn't look ugly or even close to what he had imagined.
'Always thought they would be green, seems like it was all a lie,' Aiden thought, a little disappointed about all of this.
He thought that he would have recognized a goblin in the blink of an eye but it seemed that it wasn't the case at all.
"Well, I am, I'm just not showing it." Aiden smiled.
The goblin dismissed his worries as he decided to finally ask the same question as earlier once again, "So what can I do for you, young sir?"
They had been distracted by Evelynn who was now hiding behind Aiden, scared of that goblin. She was scared that it would be doing something to her which wasn't something that would accept at all.
Aiden had noticed how creepy and how degenerate the person in front of him was, and he would make sure that nothing would be happening to her.
"We're here to get two Slave Contracts," Aiden said, nonchalantly.
'Two?' She thought, unsure why he would need two of them when she was alone.
The goblin seemed to understand what would be happening as he had quite a creepy smile on his face, looking at Aiden as if he was proud of his actions.
"I see, what's happening, she's going to become yours… Sorry about earlier, I didn't know."
Aiden was surprised that the goblin was apologizing, but the reason why he had done so was quite weird. It seemed that the goblin right there in front of them was weird, really weird.
"Well, no matter, I'll go get that for you," the goblin said as he slowly walked into the darkness that was surrounding them.
Aiden couldn't help but wonder how he was able to navigate inside this darkness. He had to admit that he was impressed that a dwarf could see through. Aiden could also see through the darkness but that was only because of his skill.
He didn't know what sort of skill the dwarf had developed, but it must have been a good one.
"Here's the slave contract, how are you going to pay for it?" The goblin asked as he smiled.
That was the part that he liked the most, receiving money.
Aiden looked toward Evelynn who was right behind him as she approached and paid for it. Aiden would have paid for it but he had no money whatsoever.
A moment later, Evelynn had the Slave Contract in her hands and she exited the shop with Aiden. She had a worried look on her face as she knew that it really was going to happen.
She was going to be the slave of someone, and the only way for her to become free again was for Aiden to be nice enough to let her go.
"Hey, don't look so sad. Don't worry, I will never do anything to you, and if at any given time you want this to stop, then just tell me. I will cancel everything, that is after I'm done with my task…"
"Ah! Enough about that, so how does it work?" Aiden said as Evelynn handed him one of the small piece of paper that they had received.
