NOVEL NEXT 90 Decoy!
*Sigh~ lets not think of them for now, rather we need to find a way to distract the guards and sneak into the goblin village*
Ignoring their gazes, Ye Tian decided to put the matter aside as right now getting into the village was more important
Fortunately, he had a tool man beside which would make it a lot easier for him
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but have a bad smile on his face as he turned toward Ling Xiao who was crouching behind him.
"Ling Xiao, are you ready?"
"Its time for you to put that strength of yours to good use"
Not giving him any chance to reply, Ye Tian took out the lyre from inside his bad and handed it to him
"Although I didn't want to expose it to the public, but this is lyre is a relic I accidentally found on my way to school"
"Although I don't know what grade it is, but not only can it strengthen your physical fitness a bit, but it can also launch fire attacks by playing it"
"Because of this, I've decided to call the tune it plays the song of strength and fire"
"Though thinking about it now, if it could produce ice the song of ice and fire would have been a much better name"
Casually spitting out lies with a straight face, Apollo who was stuck inside the lyre couldn't help but be stunned as he wondered if Ye Tian was a reincarnation or avatar of his brother hermes the God of tricks and lies
However, if Ye Tian knew what Apollo was thinking, he would definitely laugh and think back to how he had tricked Hermes many times in his past life
Compared to his former self, the Him now could be said to be a child
Not only that, but technically speaking not everything he said was a lie
For instance, as the god of the sun and as a god in itself, Apollo was capable and of carrying out physical strengthening to mortals and producing flames
And Although he was just a split from the main body, he still possesd such abilities.
Not only that, but Apollo was also the god of music not making it surprising that songs from his lyre would be able to do such things
Based on that, technically the only thing Ye Tian had lied about was the actual name of the lyre and how he got it
Both of which he couldn't say their real origins if not his other vest on the tower trials would inevitably be exposed
Unlike with this, where not only could he preserve his vest's identity but also create an Alibi on how an F rank awakener like him could out run someone like Ling Xiao
If it was done with the help of a relic, then everything made sense
Thinking of this, Ye Tian couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao with a serious expression on his face
Although he didn't want to do it, but if it came to it Ye Tian didn't mind Ling Xiao having a terrible 'accident' while trying to start the horde
After all, as everyone dead people keep the best secrets
So with this in mind, Ye Tian studied Ling Xiao's face trying to catch any subtle traces of doubt
"Haha Although I knew for you to be Mu Fans friend you had to be special, but to you to actually have a relic that's amazing!"
"Even though you got it by accident, but considering the fact that none of us in class have even seen one physically, I can't believe it"
Holding the lyre in his hand, Ling Xiao who was fully focused on its extraordinary nature completely ignored Ye Tians gaze on him
As a high level awakener, more than others he could feel the extraordinary nature of the lyre within his arms
And while he wasn't sure if everything Ye Tian said about it was correct, but just from the extraordinary aura he could sense within it Ling Xiao was a hundred percent sure this was a relic
Not only that, but a pretty strong one at that. Taking another look at the lyre, he couldn't help but sigh at Ye Tians luck
However, when he thought back to their current situation and looked at the heavily armed goblin village he couldn't help but as Ye Tian a question
"But Ye Tian, although this artifact is powerful and all, but is this really going to allow us to sneak in and steal the goblin lords child undetected?"
"If anything I think using this relic would do the opposite and attract attention towards us!"
Saying this, Ling Xiao had a confused expression on his face as he wondered what Ye Tian had in mind
However turn to look at him, what Ling Xia saw was a smile that sent shivers down his spine
*Damn why do I suddenly have a bad feeling!*
Scolding in his mind, Ling Xiao couldn't help but hope that he was just imagining things
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that what happened next would be completely out of his expectations.
...…..
[Goblin village, north entrance]
Crouching in a shrub not too far from the main gates, Ling Xiao who was holding the lyre couldn't help but curse after thing about the plan Ye Tian just told him
"Damn! Now that I think about it why did I agree to this plan"
"Even though it does make sense, why do I always feel that there's something wrong going on here"
Taking another glance at the twin archer towers and the two goblin guards at the gate, Ling Xiao sighed as he went over the plan in his mind
According to Ye Tian, he as the strongest among the two of them was meant to act as a decoy using the lyre to perform tricks in front of the gate attracting their attention while he snuck inside and conducted the plan
Thinking back to it now, perhaps it was the way that Ye Tian described the plan but back then he didn't feel there was anything much to it
However, now that he was in front of the gate and at the mercy of dozens of arrows and armed enemies he suddenly realised that just maybe Ye Tian might have played down the whole scenario
"Sigh~ there's no use talking about it, I might as well just get this done at over with"
"At least with my current strength running away shouldn't be an issue or if worse comes to worse I should be able to guarantee my safety and fight back"
Talking to himself, Ling Xiao took a deep breath as he as he strode out the shrubs lyre in hands and a smile on his face
"Haha hello there my goblin friends, would you mind me playing a song for you?"
"You all seem tired from working all day, maybe a song would lighten your mood"
Standing in front of the two guards in front, Ling Xiao had an akward smile on his face as he strayed to attract their attention
Unfortunately what he was was met with was an akward since before a loud screech from the goblins in front
"Keeek! (Human? Human!)"
"Keeek! kazz! (Alert the others! Human!)"
Noticing his presence the two of them at the gate immediately began to shout attracting everyone's attention
Not only that, but the goblin on the right blew a horn also further alerting everyone, which something Ling Xiao didn't expect
"Damn! Don't talk about martial arts! This is the rhythm to kill me!"
Cursing out loud, Ling Xia realised that his earlier plan wasn't going to work, obvious it was time for plan b
"Sigh~ I hope this works"
Ignoring the two goblins who were currently gearing their weapons towards him, he pointed the lyre toward the two archer towers in front of him
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Plucking two strings, Along with him feeling his physical energy drain a bit, obviously the price for using the relic
How huge fireballs suddenly shot out from the lyre setting the towers blaze
Not only that, but taking advantage of the goblins confusion he used the lyre as a hammer and knocked the two goblins infront of him unconscious not giving them a chance to react
And Apollo who was trapped within the lyre seeing himself albeing used as a weapon to knock out goblins suddenly wondered just how low he could fall as a deity
Thinking that if any of what happened in these few days in the lyre made its way to the pantheon, then he would without a doubt become the new laughing stock among the gods
"Damn Ye Tian, and Damn this human too, had it not been that this deity felt those gazes below I would have shown him a thing or to of what it means to be a god"
"Unfortunately now I can't , if I do I'm not sure which sealed god or demon would make a move on me"
Shaking his head within the lyre, Apollo couldn't wait to leave this dunegon
Unfortunately Ling Xiao who was currently swinging him like a hammer was far from finished
