[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 642: Mirror Lake

Back in the headquarters of Athen’s Champion in Champion’s Den.

Franklin, Eztein, Eilish, and Alice had returned after finishing the mission that they took.

“We’re back!”

Eztein said as he opened the door of the Astros Squad Room. He quickly sat on the sofa and sigh in relief.

“Oh, that was hard.”

“Don’t you think that there are fewer people here in this area? I barely saw any people while walking to our base and yet the security is tight.” Eilish said.

“Now that you mention it. All the people that we met are warriors guarding the gate and patrols.” Eztein placed his hand on his chin.

“We are away for several days so we don’t know what’s happening. It’s natural.” Franklin said with a smile.

Alice sat on a chair without saying anything. She just listened to their words. Although she looked like she didn’t care, she was thinking about their topic.

She too found it too weird that they’ve met fewer warriors while walking in this area.

Hmm?

She turned her head and looked at the person that arrived.

Isabella came out of her room and greeted everyone.

“How is the mission, everyone?” She asked.

“It’s fine. It’s a bit troublesome but we handle it perfectly.” Eilish answered.

“Did Souta come out of his seclusion?” Alice asked.

“Y-Yes,” Isabella answered.

“Oh, the boss came out.” Eztein looked around. “So where is boss?”

“I-I’m going to explain it.”

Isabella slowly explained the things that happened while they were away.

“Wait! You mean leader go to war without even waiting for me?!” Eztein asked with wide eyes.

“Y-Yes.” Isabella nodded.

“Ugh! Why did he hog all the exciting things for himself? I thought that he wouldn’t forget about me.” Franklin said in a low voice.

“It was sudden. The Grain Leader suddenly summoned all the squad leaders.” Isabella said.

“I see… So that’s the reason why we met fewer people here.” Eilish nodded in understanding.

“Warriors that came back from completing a mission are forbidden to take another mission. They are obligated to prepare themselves and head to the war as reinforcement.” Isabella said.

“Oh, I still have a chance.” Franklin raised his eyebrows with interest.

“I wonder what’s happening there.” Alice narrowed her eyes. She stood up and opened the door.

“I’m going out for a while. I want to know what’s currently happening in the war.”

She quickly left after leaving those words.

“War, huh? I don’t know how to feel about it. I don’t even know a tiny detail regarding this war.” Eilish muttered.

“Yep, back in our world. People at your power level are the ones deciding the war. Yet in this world, you are just a slightly stronger warrior.” Eztein looked at her.

He was right. Back in their world, Eilish was a leader of a powerful organization. She was a person that could control the life and death of countless people.
