Chapter 89: A name
The office fell ghost quiet. Ariel stared at Aric, patiently waiting for him to explain. Aric could tell that was the case; he let out a sigh and leaned in on the table.
"The truth of the issue is that Gorin was under control as well," he said, keeping a straight face as he spoke, his gaze locked with Ariel, not faltering once.
"His crystal was not like the others. It was deep-rooted in his mind, and I had to rip it out at the risk of his mind collapsing.
Luckily, everything went well and he was okay. Now he is on our side," Aric said.
Ariel glanced at Gorin after hearing what Aric said, but Gorin’s expression told her nothing; it was simply a blank.
"Fine then. If you have removed the crystal and you believe he is on your side, then I won’t say anything else," she said.
"Thank you, because I need your focus on something entirely different. From the looks of it, we won’t be confined to this small village anymore.
Starting from the fact that we might need to head into the human world soon to see what it’s like close up, to the fact that we will soon be at war with the Forest Terror, and this time we will be taking it to him," Aric said.
Ariel’s eyes widened when she heard him say they would be taking the fight to the terror, so she stopped him.
"You said we would be taking the fight to the terror?" she asked.
"Yes, with Gorin here, I’ve gotten information about the terrors that I would have never gotten before. And what he told me has made it certain to me that we need to take down the Forest Terror, and we have to do it now," Aric said. He got up from the chair; it slid backward along the ground, giving him space to walk out.
"Inside that cave, there are hundreds of human ladies being used to give birth to goblins that didn’t ask to be born. A goblin farm, a constantly growing one," Aric said, walking to the wall and leaning his back against it.
