Chapter 1996: Golden Hobgoblin

”Alfred! Such a splendid name. I am very glad for that, master.” Alfred, the golden hobgoblin stated.

Adrian looked at the golden hobgoblin and saw that it was now connected to Piggy Bankʼs soul. It was now bound to him via his soul which meant that it was a pet for life. Adrian did not think that the second requirement was getting Piggy Bank a pet.

”You seem intelligent. You must have been evolved for a reason or else the god that is hidden inside the helper would not use their own divine power to do so.” Adrian stated as he could clearly feel that the divine energy that Coin possessed has lessened.

”Benefactor Equinox is correct. I have evolved and unlocked the wisdom of the past Golden Goblin Lords. All of the lineage wisdom has been transferred to me as well as the necessary relic that my master needs to complete the current quest.” Alfred stated.

”You know where to get the Relic of the Invisible Hand?” Piggy Bank asked in shock as he was actually ready to accept that he will not be able to get the relic.

”Care to tell us then?” Adrian added.

”If I will tell you then an origin story should be needed since it was not only a god of space that blessed us golden goblins. We were blessed by another god which is why we have the golden skin that we have now.” Alfred stated.

Alfred then proceeded to tell the two that the golden goblins were blessed by the god of space because of their devotion which is evident of their ability to jump through space. Their golden skin was another detail entirely as it was given by a god of wealth. The first golden goblin was not actually gold until he started to pray to a god of wealth.

The god of wealth was touched by the goblinʼs honest prayer to always make the goblins be bountiful even if it is not money. The god of wealth would then bless the first Goblin Lord which turned his skin to gold that enabled them to sense where treasure is present. This made the first Golden Goblin Lord enrich the nation as they can now jump through space directly to the treasure location.

Alfred then proceeded to tell them that the first Golden Goblin Lord was also tasked with the protection of the relic of the god of wealth that gave them their blessing. A relic that looked like it was a floating gold coin, but they would see misty hands once they looked closely.

The relic that Alfred was talking about is none other than the Relic of the Invisible Hand that they need to get in order to complete the quest.

”Do you know where it is located?” Adrian asked.

”Unfortunately, Benefactor Equinox… the relic is not in this current world. It should be in a world that has rivers where gold freely flows as the relic is so powerful that it could be used to control the flow of money itself. The First Golden Goblin Lord jumped through multiple dimensions in order to hide it.” Alfred stated.

”Do you at least know which dimensions he jumped to before reaching the last place?” Adrian asked.

”Yes. I have it all in my memory as I have inherited the will of the Golden Goblin Lord.” Alfred stated.

”If that is the case then we have no problem. We can retrace the steps of the Golden Goblin Lord and arrive at the same destination it did.” Adrian stated as he was a being that could easily cross dimensions.

Adrian could even bring others with him which is not like the golden goblins that can only jump by themselves. Alfred looked at Adrian as if questioning if it was possible, but the former knew that it might be possible. There is actually one thing that the golden hobgoblin is worried about.

”Is there something in your mind, Alfred? You can be honest with us since we need to be ready before going there.” Piggy Bank stated.

”The First Golden Goblin Lord might still be guarding the relic as of now. The reason why the goblins were no longer powerful is due to his disappearance after stepping down from the throne.” Alfred stated.

”That should be impossible as even demigods die unless they ascend to become gods. They can prolong their lifespan by absorbing divine energy but that is measly increasing their lifespan by a few years. If the First Golden Goblin Lord is a god, then I would agree but it seems that he was a demigod at best.” Adrian stated.

”Yes, and that should be natural, Benefactor Equinox. The only reason that I have entertained this thought is the fact that the First Golden Goblin Lord has an artifact that always gives off divine energy. The Relic of the Invisible Hand is a powerful relic that can produce divine energy as long as the market is still active.” Alfred stated which shocked Adrian.

A relic that can produce divine energy as long as trade and money is being circulated is extremely powerful. Any god would love to get this relic as it would give them divine energy every time. Gods do not have a lifespan as they are no longer mortals which meant that this divine item could turn a lesser god into a high god within a certain time frame.

”No wonder this relic was sealed. ” Adrian stated.

”If the relic is that powerful then why did they not destroy it instead?” Piggy Bank asked.

”If it is a relic that represents something then destroying it will inevitably affect reality as well. Relic like those were not created by ordinary gods as they used the sea of reality to form them.” Adrian stated.

Adrian was referring to relic created to substitute gods as a focal point as some concepts in the universe are unable to be easily governed. These relics were often called Reality Relics as they symbolize a concept itself.
