Reborn as God: The strongest system

Redthorn didn't experience any of those thing in reality, however he was experiencing the true pain he would have felt if he experienced such torture.

Even Esdras felt sick to his stomach seeing Redthorn convulsing and writhing on the ground. He understood one thing for sure now, the infernal pact was indeed the real thing.

He knew that before, but seeing it firsthand was different than just reading an item description.

The torture lasted only a minute in reality but goblin felt as if an entire lifetime had passed already.

"I'm sorry, please… I will tell you everything I know." The goblin, looked at him with the look of fear and realization.

He realized that the fact he signed recklessly, was actually binding. He knew about magic items for sure, but he had never seen one before. And even if he did, he would not have recognized the infernal pact for what it was.

This was a new item in this world it had never existed before, and the goblin was not magically attuned. He could only curse him self for his recklessness in despair.

"Okay, now tell me everything about Ilundar and don't leave anything out… if you do, you know what will happen."

"Hik! Yes, I understand. But I truly don't know much about him. All I know is that he is a member of an organization. I don't even know what they call themselves. But one day around six months ago Ilundar and the masked man came to meet me they wanted to recruit me to their organization."

" so Ilundar was a member of this organization, and this masked man what else can you tell me about him?"

" he is powerful, really powerful. I have never seen anyone as powerful as him before. Not even you good match up to him he was terrifying, but he did not force me to join his organization. He just told me to think about it and tell Ilundar if I change my mind. He was tall, but there is nothing special about him except his mask. It was split in half half was gold, and the other was black."

Esdras frowned Ilundar was at rank 2 peak, and even now he wasn't sure that you could take him on. After all he just recently advanced to rank 2, if he had accumulated a decent amount of spells and time to actually practice, he had the confidence to defeat him, but not now.

After all is display today, might have been great for others but actually, it was amateurish at best. If he was a real experienced mage he would have done things differently.

But it wasn't like he did badly he did accomplish his objective in the end.

The masked man was interesting. He must be ranked three or higher if he could have a subordinate like Ilundar. Moreover, he was confident to actually leave such a powerful, subordinate here.

Either he placed great importance on Redthorn or such a subordinate was not very special to him.

In any case, it was best to avoid going back to Yellostone for the time being.

"So, about your little scheme in this town, who is working with you?" Esdras already had an idea, but he wanted to hear it from the mouth of the horse, so to say. Besides, he could have missed something.

"I made a deal with the mayor and the Tigerclaw mercenaries, they would pretend to protect this area while allowing my tribe to steal as we wish on the conditions that we do not kill anyone and the loads we stole, would be sold back to them cheaply."

Esdras noted it was not a bad plan, it was very direct and effective as well, for all the three parties involved. The mercenary's would spread their name and influence for at least attempting to help and would still get paid even if they failed.

The mayor on the other hand, will get access to valuable goods for cheap prices. However, that was not all the merchants who had their goods stolen from them would have to sell whatever they had left in this town just to recoup some of their losses.

" you might have been able to figure that out, sir" the goblin praised, " but I have discovered something else too, the mayor is actually working with Barron Fornhart of Cilios."

" how? And what would the Baron gain by working with the mayor?" Esdras asked he had a feeling that this was not a simple matter.

​ " it's also about the goods, you'll see most of the goods sold to the mayor can't be sold back here otherwise it would attract unwanted attention. Some of them can be sold here, because none of the towns people can even afford these kind of goods."

" that makes sense."

" it's also thanks to this, that we managed to buy an even customize, a lot of armor and weapons."

Esdras couldn't help but be taken aback by all of this, these guys were really making it big going all out during the war. But who knew that they would end up offending the crown, prince unknowingly.

*sigh*

Such is fate. He could see the resentment in the prince of the goblins. How would you feel if he knew that a nobleman actually did all this?

"I assume you have written evidence of these transactions in the pile of documents that I took from your storage am I right?" Esdras asked.

Looks like the goblin did not expect Esdras to figure that out, but he had already seen how smart the goblin Wass. He must have prepared this to blackmail the bottle later on after building up his forces enough.

"Alright, I will give you this," Esdras took out a coin pouch, and handed it to the goblin. I didn't know exactly how much there was. There was a lot of silver and copper in it.

"Y-you're letting me go for real?" Redthorn asked hopefully, his eyes watering a bit in the corners.

"Letting you go? Wake the fuck up! You're my slave where would you go without my orders? Now listen up and stop spacing out. Go to the Bone gorge of the Kazzat kingdom and make a base for yourself with the rest of the survivors of the goblins here."

" that's too far!" The goblin complained.

" I imagine it will not be that hard for such an intelligent goblin like you, anyway, I'm not sending you the randomly close by the area. You must infiltrate and spy on the going on's of the Varthos territory."

Esdras narrowed his eyes and an ominous energy radiated out of him. He was not going to spell anyone that target in his life. Whatever the reasons, maybe they could only die, even if they were related by blood.
