Wizard: I am a goblin

Chapter 89 The Final Battle at the Summit of Akabo

"Hostage hostage... don't get agitated..."

The goblin stood on the roof, slightly inside, blocking the only exit—the window of the room—behind him. He held out his palm to the little girl in front of him, indicating that he was not hiding any weapons.

"Don't fall... Okay, give me back my mask, then we'll go back inside together..."

"Don't move! If you move, I'll throw your treasure down!" the little girl said nervously. She wedged her feet between the roof tiles, held onto the sloping roof with one hand, and gripped the white porcelain mask tightly with the other. The child was practically lying on the 45-degree angled roof, using all her strength to keep herself from slipping off.

"What are you after, hostage! Isn't life good enough?"

"I knew you were a goblin! I have excellent eyesight and I never make a mistake!" the little girl shouted, and Geb immediately made a shushing gesture.

"Keep your voice down... Kid brother... Kid sister, I give up... Don't let anyone find out."

"Found out what? Found out you're a goblin?" The child's eyes darted around. "I...I'll scream! Don't force me!"

"You son of a bitch..." Geb was furious. "I'm a goblin, and you're a petty thief—why don't we both go to jail? Keep your voice down."

That's just something to fool a child—going to a goblin and stealing are not even in the same league.

The hostage was stunned for a moment, his little head not quite processing it, and he really lowered his voice.

"...You...you give me back my mother's ring...right now..."

"...You're still thinking about it?!" Gebu retorted. The ring was nowhere to be found; he'd drunk all the stones from it...

Seeing that the goblin didn't respond, the little girl raised her hand to throw the mask down.

"Wait! Wait a minute..." Gebu shouted in a panic, then quickly lowered his voice, "Everything is negotiable..."

"There's nothing to discuss. If you don't give me the ring, I'll smash everything... and then report you..."

"Let me look...please don't get agitated..."

While pretending to rummage through his waist, Gebu quickly thought of a solution—what should he do?

How did this kid get in here... Magnubie's ass! He didn't take the hostage seriously, and she ended up stealing his house. You can't judge a book by its cover!

The old peacock was the same way back then, looking down on people, and ended up suffering at Gebu's hands—what goes around comes around, and today it's the Lin family's turn.

As for that mask, it's not like it's unrecoverable—if she really threw it down, the Wizard's Hand could probably retrieve it...

But even if they got the mask back, what would they do with the hostage? Gebu glanced at the tense yet stubborn little guy in front of him. This kid had quite a temper; he dared to kick the dog-headed man's testicles. If he really pushed him too far, he might come at them and fight them to the death.

It wasn't that Gebu couldn't beat the child, but if she accidentally fell and the child died outside her room, Gebu would definitely be implicated.

If it attracts the attention of the local guards, a goblin's life will be over, what's the point of being a wizard then?

"...Hurry up, hurry up." The child held the mask in his hand and shook it, as if he was about to throw it away.

"I left the ring inside the house. Let's go in and get it together... I promise I won't cheat you."

"You're kidding me. I've searched your house thoroughly. The ring is definitely on you," the child quickly replied. "Don't play me, you damn goblin."

Hey, kid, you're pretty sharp-tongued! Gebu was a little annoyed. He's all grown up and still gets called a goblin—you say I'm lying to kids? I'm going to lie to you, kid!

I've already fooled the old shaman, what's a little brat like you?

"Found it, look." Gebu took out the empty ring blank and placed it in his palm. He casually added a minor phantom and filled it with a phantom sapphire, then showed it to the little girl.

The child's eyes widened when he saw the ring.

"Give me!"

"Keep your voice down... Can we come inside now...?"

"You...you..." The child seemed to have no idea what to do next, and was stunned for a moment, at a loss.

"You'll have to come inside sooner or later, otherwise how will you get down... Hurry up, I'm freezing." Gebu's last half-sentence was no lie—the roof was uncovered, and the autumn morning breeze was bone-chilling.

The child was shivering from the cold. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, tucked the mask inside her clothes, and slowly climbed up.

Gebu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the two little ones crawled back into the house through the window one after the other.

-----------------

Swah——

Gebu drew the curtains, and the room suddenly became dark.

"call……"

Finally, it's safe. Showing up in human towns as a goblin feels like walking around naked in the street—it's incredibly uncomfortable.

The little girl ran to the door, took out a small key from her belt, unlocked the door, and peered warily through the crack in the door at the goblin by the window.

"Don't go back on your word... If you hurt me, I'll scream and wake up everyone in the hotel!"

"I said I wouldn't cheat you, and I absolutely won't." Gebu turned to look at the little girl, adopting a nonchalant expression. "Give me back my mask."

"Give me the ring first!"

"At the same time? Count to three? Trust me," Geb said.

"I don't believe you! I screamed!"

"Think about it, if you scream, someone will come and arrest me... If you were me, what would you do?"

"...I'm not a goblin, how would I know what you're thinking... Ugly goblin, stinky goblin!" The child made a face at Geb.

"You'll keep cursing me, won't you! You motherless brat!"

"You!" The little girl's face turned red, and she opened the door to shout.

"Go ahead and shout, I'll definitely rush up and kill you... I'm going to die anyway, let's die together!" Gebu suddenly shouted.

"I..." The little girl was startled when she heard the word "death." The goblin's amber eyes glowed in the darkness on the other side of the room, and the girl stood there, not knowing what to do.

"...Or, let's both live well, honestly, and hand over the ring in one hand and the mask in the other."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head in agreement. She reached into her clothes and slowly pulled out a white porcelain mask.

Geb revealed the illusion ring and waved it in front of his face.

The little girl's eyes followed the ring as it swayed from side to side.

"Catch!" Gebu pretended to toss the ring—the little blue thing flashed through the air, streaked across the room, and flew towards the little girl!

"Ouch!" The little girl quickly pulled her hand away to catch it, but in that instant, the wizard's hand grabbed the white porcelain mask and pulled it from the little girl's hand.

The little girl lunged at the blue ring in mid-air, while the white mask flew close to the floor towards Geb.

They both caught their treasures at the same time!

Gebu instantly put the mask on his face—

The little girl clasped her hands together, as if trying to catch a firefly, a look of joy on her face. Then she opened her hands—

Empty, void, like, also.

The little girl's smile froze. She looked up, and the goblin was gone; all that remained was a grinning halfling.

"The ring?! Where's the ring?!" The little girl frantically searched the floor, but couldn't find it. Had it fallen to the ground?

The halfling coughed lightly and revealed a sapphire ring on his hand. The hostage's eyes reddened.

"Goblin! I'll fight you to the death!"

"Hostage hostage! Stop fooling around." Gebu suddenly said seriously. "If you really want this ring, come and take it. If it truly belongs to you, I can't take it away from you."

The little girl was about to rush forward when she heard the halfling's words, and a complex expression appeared on her face.

Anger! Sadness...confusion?

The child's little brain couldn't keep up.

What exactly does this guy mean?
