Wizard: I am a goblin

Chapter 12 What's wrong, you want to go to heaven?

Gebu wore a hat made of grass leaves on his head, and his two pointed ears were covered with leaves. He leaned over the cliff and hid, peeking out half of his head to look down.

My goodness, that's so high!

Geb felt a wave of dizziness. He quickly pulled his head back and touched his heart.

Even magic can't cure altitude sickness! This is a sheer cliff; if you fall, you're done for.

But the giant eagle's egg lay in its nest on a branch below the cliff, white, smooth, and beautiful, shimmering in the morning light.

The bear boss will definitely love it. This is the ultimate treasure to win the heart of the bear goblin.

Gebu patted his forehead to clear his head.

No, no, how can we back down here? This is only the first step in Gebu's grand plan.

The little goblin cheered itself up and poked its head out of the cliff again.

He's been stealing bird eggs since he was a goblin, and he's raided at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, nests since he was a child.

But Gebu dared not steal the giant eagle's eggs—it was a apex predator in the forest ecosystem. It was the one choosing its prey; no one dared to hunt it.

The strangest thing is that this beast is also very intelligent. Some goblins say that the giant eagle can understand human speech.

Of course, just because someone understands what you're saying doesn't mean they won't eat you. People like to listen to a short comedy routine before their meal to whet their appetite.

That's pretty clever... Can I borrow the egg, Eagle?

The goblin manipulated the wizard's hand, carefully lifting the egg from the bottom—the wizard's hand's maximum load-bearing capacity was ten kilograms, and the weight of the egg was almost the limit that the spell could withstand.

Be careful... don't fall.

The wizard's hand trembled as he lifted the egg from the giant eagle's nest. Geb stared intently at the egg, not daring to relax for a moment.

The edge of the cliff where the goblin was located was about seven or eight meters away from the branch where the egg was. After some effort, Geb managed to move the egg to about halfway up the cliff.

A gust of wind swept by.

Hey hey hey!

The egg tilted to one side, startling Gebu, who quickly stood up and, like a fisherman pulling against the wind, used his wizard's hand to support the eagle egg.

The egg was slippery, swaying left and right, then about to tip forward. Gebu felt the spell was about to break; the egg was tilting more and more erratically, completely losing its balance.

Take a gamble!

With a determined heart, Gebu used the wizard's hand to throw the eagle egg upwards with all his might!

The egg was very heavy, and it didn't rise very far before reaching the top, where it looked like it was about to fall.

The goblin quickly withdrew its spell, then seized the opportunity to summon a new wizard's hand beneath the egg, which was just beginning to show signs of falling.

The egg was caught in mid-air, spun halfway, shifted its center of gravity, and tipped to one side. At this point, stabilizing the egg was impossible; a desperate gamble was all that was left.

Get up!

The egg was tossed into the air again, but this time it veered off course even further, landing several meters away from its previous point. Gebu had no choice but to try to pull it back from the opposite direction.

What's this like? Playing shuttlecock. If you kick it wrong, the more you try to save it, the further it goes wrong, until finally the whole playground has to run to get it.

Gebu assumed a horse stance, similar to practicing Tai Chi, and used his hands to guide the movements of the wizard's hands.

Hey! Ha! Left and right, use leverage!

As the goblin moved, the egg flew left and right, being tossed higher and higher until it finally cleared the cliff, flew a few meters high, and then fell vertically.

Here it comes! Geb seized the opportunity, dispelled the wizard's hand, and ran to the predicted landing point of the egg in a few quick steps. He stretched out his hands, caught it, and hugged it!

got it!

...So heavy!

Gebu was suffocating under the weight of the giant eagle egg, which was bigger than a watermelon, but he refused to let go, and his little green face turned purple.

He strained with all his might, his buttocks taut and his arms trembling. He had finally managed to achieve a strategic balance with the egg… Don't move, I can't move either.

The egg wouldn't get any lighter, but the goblin's arm was getting increasingly sore.

Sigh...sigh...sigh!

The little goblin was pulled forward by the weight of the egg.

There was an abyss right in front of us!

"Help...help me!"

At this critical moment, suddenly, a shadow covered the goblin's body. He felt a sudden gust of cold wind on the back of his neck, and something sharp grabbed his collar, pulling him backward.

The goblin, clutching the giant eagle egg, fell backward onto the cliff edge. Ouch! I'm dead!

Just as he recovered, Gebu opened his eyes and saw a huge shadow staring at him.

"...Uh." The goblin blinked. Yes, he wasn't mistaken.

"Brother Eagle, I can explain..."

The giant eagle tilted its head.

Then he grabbed the goblin's body and flew up with him!

-----------------

"Brother Eagle, let's talk this out!"

As the goblin soared through the air, for a fleeting moment, he thought he had been reborn as a young eagle, experiencing his first flight...

Being reborn as an eagle is better than being reborn as a goblin!

The eagle clutched Gebu, and Gebu held the egg; the three of them stretched out in the air.

The goblin's mind raced—if it truly possessed intelligence, it certainly wouldn't want me to drop the egg, which was essentially a hostage.

But ah...

This egg is becoming increasingly difficult to hold!

"Giant Eagle, if you're even slightly conscious, put me down right now, or I'll abandon your son!"

The eagle glanced at the goblin, then flew straight into the depths of the forest. Within minutes, Goblin was dizzy and disoriented.

Seeing that the giant eagle showed no sign of letting him down, Gebu thought he had to do something real and scare it.

Go for it.

He let go and tossed the egg down!

Almost simultaneously, the giant eagle released its talons, spun around in mid-air, ignoring the goblin, and swooped down towards the falling egg.

I've been waiting for this moment!

Gebu used his wizard's hand to block and deflect the egg. The eagle's lead time was a little too short, and it missed its target. The eagle braked sharply in mid-air to chase after it, but Gebu caught the landing point and jumped onto the giant eagle's back!

"Oh dear!"

The little goblin clung tightly to the broad, stiff feathers on the giant eagle's back, clinging to it.

The giant eagle was incredibly strong. It carried a goblin on its back as if nothing had happened, flew upwards, and grabbed the eagle egg that was suspended in mid-air by the wizard's hand.

It's still the same three things, just in a different order in the air.

Gebu held the giant eagle, and the giant eagle held the egg.

Is there a difference? There's a huge difference.

On the back of the giant eagle, the goblin gained a degree of control.

He straddled the giant eagle's back, his hands gripping the feathers on its neck, as if riding a powerful winged horse.

Get down!

Goblin pressed down on the giant eagle's neck, using his body weight to force the eagle to fly downwards. Yes, goblins aren't heavy, but with all their weight on its neck, the giant eagle had no choice but to comply.

"howl!"

The giant eagle let out a sharp cry and swooped down into the forest!

The goblin watched the lush canopy rapidly approaching it and made some plans.

That's about it, we've arrived at our stop, get off!

The instant the giant eagle swooped into the woods, he grabbed its neck tightly with both hands and kicked it off. Go!

Gebu performed a forward roll in mid-air, grabbed his neck with his wizard's hand as a fulcrum, performed another forward roll in mid-air, and then used his wizard's hand to support his feet, performing a leap into the clouds...

Goblins weigh much more than ten kilograms; the Wizard's Hand can only hold them for a moment, breaking with a single step, but it can be used as a stepping stone. That's enough.

The goblin maneuvered through the air, twisting and turning, performing some high and low maneuvers... finally spotting a tree branch in front of it, and stretched out its hands...

Bang! A tree branch hit my face!

Hug his mother!

The goblin clung to the thick birch tree, using both hands and feet to grip the trunk like a monkey.

With a whoosh, the giant eagle, carrying its eggs, let out a long cry and then disappeared above the treeline.

It hurts...it hurts so much.

His face was swollen, but he was still alive.

The goblin's face was covered in leaves, and he couldn't even open his eyes, but he dared not let go of her hand.

I didn't get the egg, but I'm still alive.

Gebu opened his eyes and looked down at the ground a dozen meters away. Good heavens. From now on, I'll leave bird egg collecting to someone else…

However, this trip was not in vain.

Gebu looked at the two coarse, stiff giant eagle feathers in his hand; the tips of the feathers still carried the warmth of the giant eagle's body.

A goblin-like, toothy smile spread across Geb's lips.
