The Romantic Life of a Goblin
Chapter 174: Coercion and Bribery of the Hobbit Scouts
Alan walked over slowly, squatted down, and looked at the Hobbit's face. Seeing the terrified look on his face, he couldn't help laughing.
He could clearly feel through the Force that the Hobbit's heart was filled with negative emotions, including fear of Alan, resistance to death, and the extravagant hope of survival.
However, what was more important was his deep dislike for the captain and his complaints and disgust towards his teammates.
Alan stretched out his hand, gestured to the Hobbit, and then activated the Force mind control technique:
"Tell me, who are you?"
This move has a very significant effect on creatures whose minds are not strong enough.
The Hobbit's eyes suddenly became confused, and then he told his whole past.
This hobbit has been an adventurer for several years, but is still only a steel-level character.
To make matters worse, he had been caught stealing loot in another town by the Adventurer's Guild, and was exposed during the upgrade review. He was eventually expelled from the town and lost his qualifications to work as an adventurer there.
In desperation, he had to leave his hometown.
Fortunately, his skills were still pretty good, so he rejoined a new team in a nearby town.
However, the Hobbit's heart had long been twisted and deformed. He never reflected on his own mistakes, but instead blamed all the responsibility on those who ruined his good deeds, with his heart filled with resentment and anger.
After encountering an ambush, he did not reflect on his carelessness when scouting the woods. Instead, he kept complaining in his heart that the team leader was an incompetent person who could not even defeat the goblins.
Alan was very satisfied with this situation.
Because this kind of psychologically fragile and complaining guy is exactly what he needs, and is easy to control and exploit.
After releasing the control of the Force, the Hobbit slowly came to mind in a trance, then recalled what had just happened. He immediately struggled backwards as if he had seen a demon, ignoring the pain all over his body, just wanting to stay away from Alan.
He had never heard of any temple priest who could so accurately discern other people's lies, let alone directly control other people's minds like he was doing now.
This ability made him feel extremely terrified, as if he was standing naked in the mouth of a huge monster and could be chewed up and swallowed at any time.
The powerful evil aura of a Sith Lord emanating from Allen was like a dark storm, approaching step by step.
He raised a cruel smile and said sarcastically:
"Hehehe, so you are such a despicable fellow that you actually want to escape alone and abandon your teammates?"
The hobbit struggled desperately, trying to explain:
"No, that's not it, I just want to get help..."
However, Allen took a step closer to him, with a hint of joking in his tone:
"It's okay. You didn't do anything wrong. After all, even your captain can't defeat me. What else can you do? Are you going to die in vain?"
There was a flash of fear in the Hobbit's eyes, but at the same time he felt recognized, and he echoed:
"Yes, yes, you are right. Rather than staying here and dying, it is better to pass the message on. This is the right choice!"
However, as soon as he said this, he immediately regretted it because he realized that his true feelings had been completely exposed to the other party.
At this moment, he was even more worried that he would be silenced because of this.
Alan stared at his eyes sharply and said slowly:
"If you choose to flee, you will once again be despised and spurned by the union members. They will only sneer at your act of abandoning your teammates, and will not consider the disparity in power between the two sides."
There was deep hatred in the eyes of the Hobbit. Fleeing alone would inevitably lead to questioning and investigation by the union, and might even lead to demotion again.
Allen strikes while the iron is hot:
"Even if you state the facts truthfully, who would believe that you can't defeat the goblins? Wouldn't that make people think you are even more incompetent?"
The Hobbit's eyes had turned red, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger. This was not his fault, so why did he have to bear the responsibility and consequences in the end!
Alan waited quietly for a moment, giving him enough time to think.
Then he whispered:
"However, what if you did not choose to flee, but bravely returned and successfully rescued everyone?"
The Hobbit was stunned and asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"
Alan smiled softly, his voice so soft as if he was afraid of being heard:
"I said, what if, after the sun sets, you sneak back to that place quietly, defeat the guards, and successfully rescue everyone?"
The hobbit stared at the goblin in front of him in confusion, as if he didn't fully understand what he meant.
Allen continued, "Think about it, there is a noble lord there. If you save his life, won't he give you a large sum of gold coins as a reward?"
The hobbit's eyes began to light up, and he was obviously moved.
Alan continued to seduce:
"Not only that, if you can stand up at the critical moment and save everyone from danger, your reputation will be greatly improved, and your previous stigma will be cleared. Those who once misunderstood you will look at you with new eyes."
The hobbit hastily defended himself: "I just took some extra things from the treasure chest. How can that be considered a stigma?"
Alan nodded to show his understanding: "Okay, even if there is no stigma, you still need a chance to prove yourself. So, why not come and work for me? Here, you will have better treatment and more freedom."
Allen: "Think about it carefully. You have suffered so much unfair treatment in the past. You are a scout, so what's wrong with taking more exploration results? You are the only one who bears the traps and risks of opening the treasure chest, but the gold coins in the treasure chest need to be shared with everyone? Is this fair? Of course not!"
The Hobbit began to waver. Yes, why should he give away the gold coins that he had earned with his own ability to others?
When they encountered traps while unlocking the door and exploring the way, did those people stand up?
Now that I have been defeated and captured, do I have to be buried with these people?
Alan took out a handful of gold coins from the nobles' carriage, and let go of them, letting them fall on the Hobbit. The dazzling golden light instantly attracted his attention and became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Alan's voice echoed through the Force deep in his heart:
"Obey me and serve me. Only in this way can you survive and bring these gold coins home..."
The Hobbit looked at Alan in horror, his voice trembling slightly:
"You, who are you?"...
