There was light, there was a scent, there was a sound, and Rod could feel the changes around him, but a sense of powerlessness made him unable to open his eyes, and his head was groggy, and this feeling was not like sleep but more like something trapped him and wouldn't let him leave.

"Ah——!h

Screaming, who's screaming so noisy... Rod's head was trying to think about the owner of the voice, he was sure that he must know the voice, and he tried to think about it, let his mind turn, who was it, who was it?

"Lot!" Suddenly the brain woke up, and Rhodes opened his eyes suddenly, the momentum made him want to stand up, but a resistance restrained him, and when he looked down, he found himself tied to a chair.

"Are you awake too?" a familiar voice came from the right, and Rod looked up, a familiar goblin face looking at him, "Darkskin...."Darkskin was not far to Rod's right at this time, and next to him was Lot, who was also tied to a chair.

"What are you going to do to Lot?!" Seeing his friend tied up, Rod lost control of his emotions again, he roared like a lion trapped in a cage, he tried to break free of the rope, but the rope was so strong that he couldn't break free with his current strength.

"Don't get excited, boy, I haven't done anything yet. "Darkskin raised his hands to show his innocence, Rode's reaction was within his expectations, but he was obviously a victim, how could he make himself look like a bad person, and he thought so carefully, but now the initiative is in his own hands, so what does it matter if he is a victim or not" Our Lott just woke up a little excited. I didn't do anything. The goblin skillfully began to play with his skillful tongue, but it was true

The goblins were short, and Rhodes and Lott were barely as tall as the goblins were standing in their chairs, and the goblins' faces seemed comical to them, and they would have whistled at him if they had met them on the street. But now, the two people tied to the chair can't smile at all when they see this face.

"What are you tying us up for?" Lott had gradually calmed down, he knew that it was useless to shout like Rod, and that communication was the only way to turn around, and he kept turning his head to observe his surroundings in the hope of knowing where he was now from the surrounding arrangement, "Where is this?" The unfamiliar room, the exquisite furnishings, Lott knew that he had never been here, and he couldn't know where it was except to ask directly.

"You have a lot of questions. Darkskin scratched his head, and he said as he scratched, "But it's okay to tell you, this is my study." With his diminutive figure and delicate suit, he snapped his fingers as he tried to pretend to be chic, and then a woman walked in with her head down.

"What do you command, sir?" was a human maid, with her head down, her face could not be seen clearly, she was wearing a dirty apron, and her hands were constantly rubbing her hands on the apron as she walked, but her steps were rapid but steady, and she did not make a sound of pedaling.

"Vomit" Seeing her coming over, Darkskin hurriedly covered her nose with her right hand, "What are you doing, Teresa, so dirty." The goblin looked at the woman in front of him with a disgusted expression, and kept waving her right hand to keep her away.

"I'm cleaning, sir. Teresa replied respectfully, her head still not raised, her hands wiped but hidden behind her.

"Okay, bring me a glass of wine. There was no scolding or reprimand, and the dark skin had a surprisingly good temper, and after beginning to panic, he returned to his usual calm tone to tell the maid to do things.

"Yes, sir. The maid kept her head down, her answer was calm, and she didn't look at the two tied boys, she should have known that there were people tied up here, but this attitude of ignoring them surprised the two who were tied up next to her.

"Get yourself cleaned up and then send it in, understand?" Darkskin waved his hand and sent the maid down, "Hurry up!" Seeing that the maid was walking slowly, the goblin couldn't help but urge.

"Yes, sir. Teresa was urged to leave the room quickly.

Teresa left the room, and Darkskin focused on the two of them again, "Sorry, a little thirsty, you wouldn't mind, would you?" He walked over to the desk, flipping through the papers, which were very low and seemed to have been specially designed for him, and the goblin sat down in his chair and began to concentrate on sorting out the papers, ignoring the two of them.

The two of them didn't speak, just kept turning their heads to observe the room.

The whole room is very elegantly decorated, with golden petal reliefs inlaid in the four corners of the roof, and next to the reliefs is a large lamp that shines with golden light, and the light source shines through the golden lampshade, so that the whole room is covered with a layer of gold leaf. On the wall behind the dark skin hung the head of an animal, which the two teenagers did not know what it was, and several cabinets on either side of the head were filled with never-before-seen artifacts. There are several bookshelves on both sides of the wall, they occupy the left and right walls, and the books in them are also very full, and if you look closely at the titles, you can see many works of the Church of the Word of God, not only theology, history, geography, but also some strange novels. But the doors to the goblins were obviously too high for him to open them. Looking around the room, only the table where Darkskin was sitting was designed to fit his height. The rest of the furnishings had a vulgar feel, and while there were bookshelves, the two teenagers thought it might be just part of the decoration.

Rhodes was not idle as he observed the room, he turned his wrist repeatedly behind the chair, hoping for a chance to break free from the restraints, and if he succeeded, he would still be confident in dealing with such a goblin.

But the opportunity did not come, and after a few minutes, Teresa walked in with a glass of red wine on a plate, and the maid at this time was completely different from what she had just looked, she not only changed her clothes but also raised her head to show her face, and her hair that had been tied up for cleaning was scattered, and her face was even more delicate with some makeup. The petticoat on her body was cut just right, which completely highlighted her figure, and the lace was also beautifully made, probably sewn by herself. Such a beauty is just a dark-skinned maid, which makes the two people who are tied up feel too incredible.

"Sir, please use it slowly. Teresa walked steadily, the wine in her glass not shaking at all, and she stepped forward and respectfully placed the glass on the dark table.

"My Teresa," Darkskin smiled when she saw Teresa dressed like this, "Can you take a sip for me first?"

Seeing the dark smile, Teresa snorted and laughed, "My pleasure, sir." She said elegantly, raised her fingers, took a sip of the wine glass, and left a faint lip print on the glass.

"The wine tastes good, sir. She put her glass down and stepped back respectfully.

What the hell is going on with these two people? The two kidnapped teenagers couldn't understand what was happening in front of them, and this human was actually respectful to the goblins like this, which was a scene that had never been seen before.

"You can go down and rest first, Teresa. Darkskin wanted to see Teresa for a while, but he also knew that business was important. Teresa quickly left the room at the command, leaving the two teenagers alone again.

The goblin picked up the glass, sniffed it first, and then took a sip, "The wine is indeed good. "Now, let's get down to business." The goblin face became serious at this point.

"Ahem," Darkskin picked up a document from the table, "I don't think I need to say more about the reason why you two little ghosts came to my house as guests, right?"

"Just tell me what you want?" Rod did not deny what he had done, after all, he was already tied up here, and it was useless to quibble.

"Actually," Darkskin suddenly smiled at the two of them, "I don't care too much about your unreasonable behavior from the bottom of my heart. Flipping through the papers, he continued, "I used some brutal means to bring you here, but I think this is just a reversal of the fact that you lifted me to the ground. I've always been generous, and I can forgive you for such a trivial matter as cheating. ”

The sudden change in the attitude of the dark skin made the two teenagers a little confused, but Lott reacted quickly, "Then why do you still tie us up, Mr. Dark Skin?" The biggest thought in Lot's head now - there is a conspiracy, how can a race of goblins and calculations forgive them unconditionally, there must be a purpose.

"I don't care about the little things, but I did win a sword, didn't I?" Darkskin certainly wouldn't forgive them unconditionally, and he put down the papers as he picked up Rod's side sword from the table. The sword was at first placed behind the table, and they couldn't see it, and Rhodes was also attracted by the strange maid just now, not realizing that his sword was gone.

Seeing the sword taken out, Rod found that the sword that had been hanging from his waist fell into Darkskin's hand, "That's mine!" the boy shouted.

"It should be nominally mine now. Darkskin walked towards Rhodes with his sword.

"That's mine, hear me, my!!" Rhodes was so excited that he struggled to get up, but the rope was so strong that he could only be trapped in his chair because with all his strength the rope had strangled blood on his wrist.

"Alas" Rod's reaction was of course expected, and Darkskin threw the sword on the ground in front of Rod's eyes, "Here you go." ”

Seeing the sword thrown in front of him, Rod, who was still struggling with his life just now, stopped.

"What the hell do you mean, Mr. Darkskin?" Lott couldn't figure out what was going on, and the two strange actions in a row made Lott wonder if Darkskin was playing tricks on them.

"I'll tell you the truth," Darkskin walked back to the table, the goblin's tone was serious, not like a joke, "Originally, I wanted to take the sword and just throw you on the side of the road, but..." Darkskin flipped through the documents in his hand, and then slammed them down on the table, "I can't pull out this damn sword at all." I can't figure out how I can estimate it, how can I show it to the buyer!" Darkskin's tone fluctuated slightly, but he immediately calmed down, "I don't know what mechanism your sword has, and I'm not interested in interrogating you, that kind of thing is only what you humans like to do, and the way goblins do things is trade." Darkskin said and picked up the papers, "So I have a plan to offset your debts now." That's it, here's the letter of employment and there's a full set of formalities on the table, and if you sign it, our debt will be paid off. ”

The letter of employment is actually a piece of paper with the employment and some terms scrawled on it, and the ink on the paper has been dry for some time, and it does not seem to have been written improvised. The most important thing on the whole paper is that there is a seal officially recognized by the kingdom, and it is impossible for the dark skin to get such a complete formality in the middle of the night or in such a short time, he should have been ready for a long time, but he did not find the right person to sign this agreement, and the two teenagers in front of him seemed to make him interested in this regard.

"Hire what?" Rhodes bent over to see what was written on the paper, the goblin was too far away, and the words on the paper were not big, it was too difficult to read.

"Come to my house as a servant, as long as... Decade. "Darkskin puts the letter of employment on Rod's knee" and gives you fifty gold coins a month. ”

"Eat and live?!live here?!Fifty gold coins?!" Lott exclaimed on the side, this was the first time he had lost control of his emotions when he came here, how could Lott bear such generous treatment, not only was he kidnapped here without punishment, but he could also get a beautiful difference, was there really such a good thing in the world? Their wanderings could finally end.

"Lot, you can sign it too. With a dark grin, he picked up the same document from the table and placed it on Lot's lap, and this reaction was also expected by him.

"There are also ten extra days off a year... There are extra red envelopes at the end of the year?!" Lott's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he was like a dream in such fantastic conditions.

Darkskin picked up the pen from the table, "You were hired as Teresa's men, if it's okay..."

"I don't agree!" Rod interrupted Darkskin's words.

"Rod, you're not satisfied?" Lott kicked him in hatred, but it was too far to reach Rod

Darkskin's face was also full of displeasure, this was the third unexpected situation he had encountered tonight, "Can you explain the reason, boy?"

"First, I don't want to be a servant, second, I don't want to be a servant for ten years, and third, I don't want to be a goblin servant!" Rod said everything he thought directly, his expression at this time was as aggrieved as an arrogant young master forced to do housework, and this kind of bad disregard was just like what the unreasonable young master said.

Lott didn't dare to look at Darkskin's face after hearing this, and he wanted to know how Darkskin would react to these words, especially the third point, which was simply a humiliation for a goblin.

"Okay" Darkpi didn't say much, he nodded, neither scolded Rhodes nor jumped out of anger out of shape, although his face was not good-looking, but at least he didn't burst out, "Then Lot, did you sign it?"

Lott glanced at the dark skin, quickly turned his head to the side again, he gritted his teeth and looked at Rod again, and he could see that he actually wanted to sign this contract, but in the end he still closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Okay! what a good pair of brothers!" Darkskin nodded again, he took both documents back, and then tore the documents to shreds, "It seems that you are not satisfied with the first plan." Darkskin sat back in his chair, his face very bad, and he began to tap his fingers on the table for about a minute, and then he opened the drawer under the table and pulled out another file.

It was not so much a document as a magic scroll, the paper was made of something I don't know what it was made of, and every word on the paper emitted a blue light, and when it was spread out, the vulgar golden light that had filled the room was covered by this blue light.

Darkskin walked up to Rhodes and placed the magic scroll on his lap.

Rod looked down, and his whole face changed instantly, "Absolute truth, absolute contract, I humbly ask to conclude an eternal covenant..."

"Is it geis?!" Lott heard Rod pronounce the words, he recognized what the spell was, "Can't sign!" Lott whispered at first, and then suddenly yelled "Can't sign, Rod, no matter what terms he is!" Lott shook his chair vigorously, and finally the whole person fell to the ground, "Hear no, Rod!"

As if he hadn't heard Lot's words, Rhodes stared at the scroll for a long time, and then continued to read, "The signator will have to receive the quest in the special category in the Adventurer's Guild..."

"Do you know what Geis is?" Darkskin looked at the two of them with some surprise, "but I explained." He straightened his face and concealed a moment of panic.

"Geis - Absolute fulfillment of the contract, the contract signed will become the inevitable law of the world, and no external force can interfere with the execution, not even the gods. GEIS will force the signer to complete the contract, and the power of the contract will not disappear unless the contract is completed or the signer dies. Rhodes looked at the scroll on his lap and muttered to himself, as if enchanted.

"Rod, you can't sign it, it's a big deal for me to brush the plates, ten years of plates, it's okay to be a servant, I'll be a servant for twenty years!" Lott begged him, he moved his body and rubbed forward on the floor, "I can't sign this time, Rod!!"

"This time?" Darkskin listened to the meaning in Lot's tone, "You signed?"

At this time, Rod raised his head, and a look that seemed to have a plan glared at him, and Dark Skin was so frightened that he retreated to the table, "Actually... I can make up for the previous letter of employment, the formalities are all in place anyway, if you regret it..."Darkskin rummaged on the table, at this time he could no longer hide his flustered emotions, his hands began to shake a little, and finally turned out a few pieces of paper "You see this employment contract is actually really good" Darkskin came over with the documents, he tried to smile, like a clever trader "Fifty gold coins, plus ten days of vacation, if you are not satisfied, you can do it again..."

"I signed this geis. Rod glared at Darkskin, his eyes without the slightest hesitation.

"No... This one... You listen to me..."Darkskin threw away the paper and retrieved the blue scroll from Rod's lap, "No, no, no, you can't sign, I still have a square..."

"Even if I die, I won't be a goblin servant!" Rhodes yelled "I'm Rhodes!" He wanted to say something, but his tongue suddenly cracked like a knot, "Absolute truth, absolute contract, I hereby humbly ask to conclude an eternal agreement, I, Rhodes will receive a special assignment in the Adventurer's Guild!"

Darkskin listened to it and panicked in place, at this time he was really panicked, "I don't agree, I don't agree, I don't sign, the contract doesn't take effect!" He kept shouting to the sky, but just after Rod finished speaking, the blue light on the contract went out instantly, and then a G mark appeared on the back of Rod and Darkskin's left hand.

"Why!?" called out Darkskin and Lott at the same time.

"Why do you want to sign, bastard," Lott yelled at him.

Rod turned his head and didn't look at him, "I signed the contract, and it won't affect you." ”

"I obviously denied it, how could I succeed!" Darkskin flipped through the scroll, and then he found that he had signed his name in advance under the scroll.

"My!" Darkskin slapped his marked left hand hard, and then he rushed at Rhodes "Crazy, boy?!" Darkskin leaned up and raised his fist to hit him, but put down his hand again, goblins don't fight, they know that fighting is a useless act, this kind of thing to do is also to hire thugs or adventurers, and to disguise it as a righteous act, Darkskin raised his fist purely because of emotional impulses, but as long as he is still a goblin, he will never swing down "You are dead" Darkskin gritted his teeth hatefully and pointed at Rod's nose, "You're dead, you know, you're still pulling me!"

"You didn't ask him to sign it yet..."Lott was already crying, the situation was completely out of control the moment the scroll was taken out, and now even he didn't know what to do, so he could only let the tears flow.

"I just want to scare you, who knows if this person's brain is not normal, geis will sign it casually?" Darkskin paced around the room like crazy, the expression on his face changed from anger to fear just now, "What now, what now? The church will be eyeing me!!"

Then the door opened, and Teresa's head popped in, "Sir, what's going on?"

"Teresa—" Darkskin pointed at her and nodded, her presence reverting to the panicked goblin, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to take the two of them idiots out, now!

"Yes sir. Teresa didn't dare to slack off in a series of instructions, she didn't care about closing the door gently, and directly reflexively slammed the door with one hand, which made a loud noise, but she left quickly without looking back.

Darkskin walked behind Rhodes and said, "Oh, how did these adventurers tie the rope" Darkskin couldn't untie the rope no matter how he tinkered, and then he picked up a letter opener from the table and clicked for a while before cutting the rope.

After untying the two, Darkskin hurriedly opened the door, "Come with me!"

Rod picked up his sword and tied it around his waist. The two of them wanted to say something, but their mouths just opened, "Hurry up!" A dark voice came from outside, and the two of them could only walk out quickly.

When she reached the door, Teresa was already waiting with a coat on, and she called the coachman to get the dark carriage ready, and the goblin pushed the two teenagers into the carriage, turned to Teresa and gave a few commands, and then he jumped into the carriage as well. "Old place, be quick!" the carriage began to move as Darkskin commanded.

Horse-drawn carriages were not common in this town, it was so poor that there were no more than five people in the town who had some spare money, and Darkskin was one of them, and it was a wealthy man who owned a private carriage, the carriage was very fashionable and large enough for four people to ride together, the coachman was a sturdy human being, the doors were inlaid with the golden name of Darkskin Les, the carriage made a great noise in the dark night, and some houses could occasionally be seen in the window because they were lit up.

In the carriage, looking at Rod and Darkskin's faces, Lott was very embarrassed, but the thoughts that kept flashing in his heart still made him can't help but ask, "Sir, don't you really want us to sign that..."

After hearing this, Darkskin glared at Lotter, "Nonsense! It's just a thousand gold coins, will I put it in the eyes of Darkskin Les, I'm a gold investor in the York Chamber of Commerce, and I earn tens of thousands of gold coins a month," he said, patting the badge on his clothes.

"Sir, isn't that a silver medal?" Lott recognized the words on the badge

"I just want to scare you, I still want to take you in, and give you such a generous treatment" Darkskin completely ignored Lot's question, he pointed at Rod with his hand, "Who knew that your companion was as stupid as a pig and didn't appreciate it, so he really went to sign Geis, and said it so quickly, I couldn't cancel it! You want to kill me, you want to kill me!!" Once the dark skin mouth opened, he couldn't stop, and he was so babbling.

"Yes... I'm sorry..."Lott looked at the dark skin....a little embarrassed, "Rod may have been a little excited..."

"I'm sorry, is it useful? The church will be eyeing me soon, and they will definitely notify the York Chamber of Commerce, okay, if this idiot dies again, then I won't be able to live, let's finish playing together!" Darkskin became more and more excited, and his voice became louder and louder, until he finished playing together, and the whole person suddenly deflated and collapsed in his chair.

"Why are you going to die?" Rhodes finally couldn't help it, "I'm the one who signed the contract."

"You'll know right away," Darkskin lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, it was already early in the morning, the sky was getting white, the three of them did not speak again, and finally the carriage stopped in front of a house, "It's here, our last hope." ”

"Adventurer's Guild?" Lott recognized through the window from the building's sign

"Where else could it be?" Darkskin's legs were shaking as he got out of the car, and he turned around and dragged Rod out of the carriage, Rod could feel the goblin's hand trembling as well, and Lott hurriedly followed. Then Darkskin sorted out his expression and tried to squeeze out a smile, and he kept a smile on his face and opened the door to the Adventurer's Guild.

"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild," a woman's voice came from within.
