Chapter 120
Lynn closed the attribute panel and was about to take a walk. He planned to visit the bookstore to check if there were any new books. Just as he was about to leave, Lauren hurried over.
“Master, someone killed our goblin who was delivering goods. The shipment we had prepared for the buyer was also stolen.”
The goblin had been killed? Lynn’s expression remained unchanged. “Have you figured out who did it?”
“No, but there were signs of a struggle at the scene.”
The goblin he had sent was a goblin wanderer, known for their agility and speed. It was rare for them to run into trouble. This particular goblin was one of his followers, a registered resident of Demon City, where fighting among residents was prohibited.
“Signs of a struggle indicate that the assailant was stronger than the goblin wanderer but not by much,” Lynn mused aloud.
In Demon City, followers enjoyed protective rights. If a follower was killed without provocation, their master had the right to seek justice. This protection was one reason why many out-of-town wizard apprentices were eager to obtain formal residency status in Demon City.
Lynn pondered for a moment. Having no leads didn’t mean there was no way to find the mastermind. After all, this was a world of wizards. If the assailant hadn’t used an artifact to conceal their actions, a divination wizard could easily provide clues.
However, hiring a divination wizard costs money. Fortunately, Lynn had a method that wouldn’t cost him anything.
