From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 389 The Pastor's Trick

"You pretend to be a warrior, but a fool is a fool!" Yingxin crossed his arms and looked down at the goblin captain Fezek in front of him.

"What did you say?"

Not only the goblin in front of Yingxin, but even the team members who were his companions were confused by Yingxin's sudden foul mouth.

"It seems that your stupid mother not only didn't give you a brain when she gave birth to you, but also confiscated your ears!" A burst of bird song and flower fragrance came out of Yingxin's mouth.

The goblin Fezek standing opposite her took a few steps back as if he couldn't bear it and sat down on the ground with a plop.

The goblins standing guard in various places in the village all turned their eyes to their boss.

Facing so many piercing gazes, Fezek was extremely terrified.

Generally speaking, goblins are evil creatures who rarely follow rules but obey more powerful forces. Therefore, in a goblin settlement, the best way to gain a certain say is to kill powerful enemies or other goblins who occupy high positions.

Therefore, in the goblin settlement, any behavior or language of weakness will be regarded as a very dangerous signal.

This will greatly increase the chances of being challenged or treated as waste.

Fezek's butt bounced up almost as soon as it touched the ground: "I am the blade of the Supreme God! Where did you come from, you bitch!"

The scarlet mark of the Supreme God glowed on Fezek's face, exactly the same as the one on the Gnoll Warlord captured by the adventure team.

"What a noisy unlucky guy, you still know the Supreme God?" Yingxin tried hard to connect with the Mind Flayer tadpole in his brain, while mocking the goblin Fezek mercilessly.

When the psychic power of the Mind Flayer Tadpole was linked to the mark of the Supreme True God, Fezek sat back on the ground again: "You are a True Soul!"

Yingxin shook his shoulders, put on an arrogant look, just stared at Fezek without saying a word.

"I...we don't want to cause trouble, please tell me your orders..." Fezek knelt on the ground, trying to express his respect for the True Soul.

"Kneel down and kiss my boots, and I will consider forgiving your offense." Shadowheart placed his feet, wearing iron boots, in front of the goblin.

Looking at the boots covered with mud, dried blood and dust, Fezek hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to move his lips closer.

But Yingxin suddenly retracted her foot and stepped hard on the back of Fezek's head again.

Fezek's screams did not last long, because the stomping of Shadowheart's Iron Boots came down one after another, until Fezek's head turned into a pulp.

After finishing everything, Yingxin looked at the other goblins present, and was very satisfied to see that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.

"Now you all know who is the boss..." Yingxin said, "No matter what orders you received before, from this moment on, you must obey our command! Let all the goblins in the village come and gather!"

"True... True Soul," said a goblin holding a wooden short stick, "We are all here... But there are still three hired ogres in the village... They may not want to know the news of the change of leader..."

"Ogres?" Yingxin tilted his head and raised his voice, "Then you should call them over to me. We need to renegotiate the employment contract!"

"Yes Yes!"

The goblin scurried off.

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard, and three tall ogres emerged from a house that looked like it was about to collapse.

The three ogres were all tall and fat, with maces made of tree roots as weapons. Apart from some ill-fitting leather armor, the three ogres could hardly be said to have clothes on. Fortunately, their rough epidermis and thick subcutaneous fat meant that they did not need much armor to provide protection.

"I heard that a new friend has come! Do you want to change the employment contract?" The ogre walking in the front rubbed his palms and revealed a rather cunning expression. This was not common among the ogres who were equally famous for their stupidity and brute force. "Why don't you let us see your mark? You know, the mark of the Supreme God."

"For an ogre, you have a pretty good eloquence." Yingxin changed his weight-bearing foot, but the arrogant look on his face remained.

"I'm impressive, right? As you can see, a healthy diet makes for a smart mind. I'm a gourmet... and you, look like a juicy and healthy meal - unless you have the mark on your body." The enlightened ogre still insisted on checking the mark on Shadow Heart's body.

Yingxin didn't answer directly. Instead, he kicked the goblin who led the ogres over and said, "Tell them who I am."

The goblin lying on the ground dared not speak out, and could only humbly answer: "You are a noble True Soul... the chosen one of the Supreme True God..."

Shadowheart raised his chin towards the enlightened ogre, which clearly meant, "Did you hear that?"

"Well, it seems you are a friend, what a pity, I really want to taste your flesh." The enlightened ogre's face was full of regret, and he seemed to have begun to imagine what Shadow Heart's limbs would taste like when chewed in his mouth.

The other two ogres following behind him obviously couldn't understand such a complicated conversation, so they asked stupidly: "Food?"

"It's not food! It's a friend!" The enlightened ogre obviously also hated the stupidity of his companion and said very impatiently.

"What's going on with you guys? Why don't you have any marks?" Ying Xin asked.

"I have no need of a Supreme Being—or any other god for that matter. I serve only two masters..."

"Brother Gao and Brother Mao?" Ivy couldn't help but ask.

"It's Appetite and Greed!" the enlightened Ogre corrected, "But who are the 'Gao Ge and Mao Ge' you mentioned? I seem to have a strange feeling..."

The adventure team's companions also looked at Ivy, obviously wanting to know the answer to the question. "The green-skinned god of a certain world is just like these ogres, who love to eat, rob, and fight. He is also very smart and dares to think and act." Ivy explained to his companions, "You know, I am good at dealing with greenskins."

"They sound great, maybe after we complete the contract changes, you can tell me about Brother Gao and Brother Mao." The open-minded ogre scratched his chin and showed a thoughtful expression.

"In short, the goblins will pay me gold coins, a lot of gold coins, and their enemies will serve as our food..." The enlightened ogre told the adventure team about the contract between them and the Supreme God.

"The goblin boss gives us gold, and we check the mark. What a good deal!" said the ogre following behind.

"Stop talking!" The enlightened ogre swung his stick and hit his companion on the chin, successfully making him shut his mouth.

"If you want to change the employment contract, then propose a condition to impress me. I forgot to tell you that I am a business wizard and an expert in blackmail." The enlightened ogre showed a shrewd expression and rubbed his fingers at the adventure team.

"How about paying with the enemy's corpses? - I guarantee you'll be full!" Yingxin suggested.

"I would say this is a wonderful offer - but I require payment in advance..." The enlightened ogre rolled his small eyes and looked at the adventurers behind Shadowheart, "Give me one of your companions, I want to taste them!"

The adventurers frowned, and Ivy also placed her hand on the hilt of the Beast Bite Sword.

"I'll pay you three!" Shadowheart unexpectedly agreed to the ogre's request, "but I'll pay you with goblins. In terms of quantity, you're getting a great deal, that's three times the number."

Shadowheart's deception was clearly effective. The ogre counted on his fingers for a while, then confirmed Shadowheart's statement: "It seems to be true... Then which three goblins should we eat?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the goblins present felt threatened. They all looked at Shadow Heart with fear, praying that they would not become the ogre's meal.

Yingxin kicked the goblin who answered the question with his toes and said, "You are now in charge of these green dwarfs. My first task for you is to find a way to feed my allies. Go and pick three unlucky guys to feed them."

The goblin, who was still feeling aggrieved about being kicked by Yingxin, was immediately stunned by this surprise that came out of nowhere. The recognition of a True Soul meant that it stood out from its peers.

The promoted goblin immediately jumped up from the ground, and pointed at three goblin members who had been at odds with her for a long time, saying, "Him! She! And him! Tie up the three of them! Send them to our ogre allies!"

The three goblins that were pointed out tried to escape, but were quickly knocked to the ground by other goblins who didn't want to be delivered to the ogre's mouth.

"Don't forget to strip them of their gear!" the new goblin leader shouted, jumping up and down. "I've got a fancy to that ring! Give it to me!"

Soon, the three goblins were tied up and brought to the ogre. But when the enlightened ogre held up his food, he suddenly regretted it: "No! No! These skinny goblins are too skinny! If you want to hire ogres! You must give me all the goblins here as food!"

"Deal," Yingxin nodded, "but you have to get it yourself. I believe these foods, which are not even as high as your calves, will not be a problem for you."

The new goblin leader, who had just received her companion's ring, stood there in a daze. The round crystal gold ring also slipped from her palm. She looked at the True Soul, trying to make sure that what she had heard before was just a joke.

However, Yingxin said: "The Supreme God does not need the weak. Now your test has come. Either you become food or you become a winner. But remember, the Supreme God can see everything, through our eyes."

"The Supreme God is watching us! Kill these ogres!" The new goblin leader waved the short stick in his hand and called on his companions to launch an attack.

"Great! The ogres want to have a buffet! The ogres will kill everyone nearby!" After squeezing the goblin to death, the three ogres immediately started fighting, waving their wooden sticks.

As the culprit of the melee, Yingxin led the adventure team to retreat.

Facing the surprised eyes of his companions, Yingxin said with some complacency: "It is not necessary to whip or torture to defeat the enemy. Fear and self-doubt are enough. When the pain really comes, the victim has done the heavy work for the abuser."

"In fact, I am a priest serving Lady Shar. Shouldn't you admire my tricks?"

"Goddess of Night? No wonder..." Gale nodded. "Your belief makes many of your actions reasonable. Since it has no negative impact on our Happy Squad, we can understand it. But please don't spread Shar's belief recklessly, okay?"

"Refusing Ms. Shar's embrace is definitely the stupidest decision you have ever made in your life, Gail." Yingxin didn't say anything more, but turned around to admire the chaotic battlefield.

The roars of the three ogres were like muffled thunder, and the weapons of the many goblins kept reflecting cold light.

Arrows and magic were cast from great heights, causing great suffering to the thick-skinned ogres.

There are also those wolves tamed by the goblins. These ferocious animals are happy to taste the flesh of any creature. If they are not eaten by the ogres, they might form a partnership with those tall monsters instead of the short and cunning goblins.

"The goblins seem to be in trouble. Let's go and help them get rid of these three ogres!" Xie Nian drew out his rapier. "Otherwise, they might endanger the tiefling camp. After all, the appetite of ogres is always difficult to satisfy."

"Ah..." Shadow Heart sighed, "I've learned another lesson. Never trust the fighting ability of goblins. I thought I didn't have to fight again today."

"Then treat it as a bedtime dessert!" Kalak took the lead, drew out his battle axe and launched a leaping attack.

A blue-white lightning burst out from Gale's hand, quickly lashing the enlightened ogre, and then began to branch out, connecting his two ogre companions with him.

Kalak's greatsword struck the ogre's arm, and Laizer's greatsword cut a huge wound in his stomach.

"With the help of the True Souls, we can definitely deal with these three brainless idiots!" The new leader of the goblins jumped up and down, not realizing that there was a pale elf standing behind him.

When Asdaelon pulled his dagger out of her body, the goblin tried to turn around in horror to see what had happened, but the rapid loss of blood in her body took away her vitality, so she could only collapse to the ground like a torn sack.

Ivy played his lute. The notes poured out like water, playing a sad ballad. Every enemy on the battlefield felt their movements slow down, and their weapons became powerless.

"Haha! Our bards are playing the mournful music of death for you. Welcome the end of the world!"
