Chapter 499 - 292: Awakening of a Divine Technique_1
"I... I..." Harvey was so anxious he couldn't speak. Cheating? Me, the grand Undead King, the Lord of Mourning, the Purple Gold Skeleton, cheating!?
"If you're not cheating, let go; this is now claimed by my Lord." Silver Coin jerked hard and yielded no result.
"You used the Holy Light, you cheat, yes, you cheat." Harvey suddenly thought of something and hastily spoke.
Silver Coin chuckled, his expression as if looking at a fat sheep ready for slaughter.
"Lord Harvey, you are mistaken. To know whether it's Holy Light, why not have a touch? Although it's similar, it doesn't harm the undead." Silver Coin confidently presented a ball of Holy Light which he placed in front of Harvey to touch.
Upon mention of Holy Light, Harvey realized he had blocked his own way by accusing Silver Coin of cheating—the same excuse won't work twice.
Without touching, one could tell that it genuinely doesn't harm the undead. Harvey lacked the ability to lie boldly, unlike Anthony.
Silver Coin said aloud, "And furthermore, even if this is indeed Holy Light, it doesn't mean I cheated. We only agreed to dispel your Fire of Mass Faith, without specifying the method. Lord Harvey, as your Fire of Mass Faith has been dispelled, please don't cheat!"
Silver Coin put an extra emphasis on "cheating," like a hammer hitting Harvey's heart, causing his grip to loosen subconsciously.
Silver Coin exhaled, quickly grabbing the Soul Thunder spectacles and holding them close.
Such is the gall of a goblin who would risk everything for money. Just like when he held a sapling from the World Tree, daring to venture alone into the Elf Forest. With facts to back up, he even dared to scold the Lord of Mourning.
Of course, Silver Coin was so confident because he had Ange backing him. Even Harvey could not touch his soul, or else how could he dare to confront the undead, for fear of his soul being refined?
Secondly, based on the information from the Great Sage, Harvey wasn't irrational. As long as there were reasons, he wouldn't squash you to death right away— at least he'd argue before doing so.
Lastly, Silver Coin was not stupid. As a goblin, he sought profit, not causing offence to clients. So he hesitantly proposed, "Seeing that this object holds special meaning to Lord Harvey, I wouldn't want to snatch such a treasured item from you. How about this: If you could provide something of equivalent value, I'd be more than pleased to exchange it with you."
Upon hearing this, Harvey who had been torn between regret and anger was overjoyed.
Oh, how he regretted. The Soul Thunder spectacles held great significance to him and should not have been used as a bet. However, he was so poor that he had nothing else to offer. Moreover, he didn't believe Silver Coin could dispel the Fire of Mass Faith.
For five whole months, Harvey was increasingly irritated by the Fire of Mass Faith. Initially, it was just a nuisance, but later, it kept waking him up.
Throughout the process, Harvey tried every mean he could think of to get rid of it, even attempting to reduce its size, but to no avail. All he could do was to watch it grow stronger.
Could an imposter of the Undead God do what even he and the Great Sage couldn't?
He didn't believe, so he dared to bet the spectacles. Who could have guessed, the Fire of Mass Faith that had caught him off guard disappeared with a casual swipe by a Divine Soul, without even showing its face.
He realized that he had underestimated the other gods. However, it wasn't easy to go back on his word. While he was reluctant to hand over the spectacles, the Lord of Mourning had to keep his promise.
It seemed like two little people, one named "promise keeper" and the other "oath breaker," were arguing in his head. One persuaded him to honour his promise while the other insisted on squashing the goblin.
In midst of this struggle and regret, Silver Coin's words acted as soothing hands, instantly silencing the two little people, bringing tranquility to his soul and saved him from making a shameful move.
"Alright, alright, I'll exchange something of equivalent value, wait a moment, wait for me." Harvey pondered hard, where could he find something of equivalent value to the Soul Thunder spectacles?
Silver Coin smilingly said, "Lord Harvey, you are indeed a man of your word. You can hold onto the spectacles for now, and present the equivalent item later."
Harvey felt a refreshing breeze, Silver Coin's words were too comforting. An honorable soul, wasn't that what Harvey was?
Because of these words, Harvey couldn't bring himself to break his promise.
Further boosted by joy of regaining his prized spectacles, Harvey was in high spirits, completely forgetting he was scolded by Silver Coin just moments ago and was focused on finding an item of equivalent value.
From the side, the Great Sage wiped the nonexistent cold sweat off his forehead and secretly gave Silver Coin a thumbs up:
"I thought you really wanted the Soul Thunder spectacles. Although with Harvey's personality, he would genuinely give it to you, he would also bear a grudge against you. He would find a way to destroy your entity and snatch the item back, considering how significant it is to him."
Silver Coin chuckled lightly, how could he ever do such a foolish thing?
Ange's Intent has already been projected onto him, along with Negris'. As soon as the Soul Thunder spectacles were out, Negris would know what they were.
