Gods: Start with Goblins

Luo Dan knew that whatever he said now would be empty talk, so he just smiled and said nothing.

"Oh, forget it. There are always people better than me in the world. If I care about everyone, then what will happen? Oh, by the way, I remember you said before that you could help me with something. I have heard of your reputation. Your alchemy skills are very powerful. Can you make a pill for me?"

This was actually nothing to Luodan, and he agreed without saying a word.

"it is good."

The city lord seemed very happy and clapped his hands. Someone immediately brought the materials.

"These are the corresponding medicinal materials. Don't worry, I know the rules very well. Since I asked you to make the elixir, I will definitely not let you waste the medicinal materials yourself."

Seeing that the other party had considered everything, Luo Dan's smile became more sincere.

Then, he took the herbs and started making pills.

This should have been an easy task for him, but during the process, Bai Ling suddenly refused to cooperate. It would have been fine if she just refused to cooperate, but she also deliberately made trouble.

The flame under the furnace suddenly began to soar higher, and all of a sudden the entire alchemy furnace was surrounded by flames, burning fiercely, as if it wanted to burn the elixir and the entire furnace to ashes.

Because of her careless move, the entire furnace of pills was almost ruined.

Luo Dan narrowed his eyes, realizing that Bai Ling was disobedient. He turned his wrist and pressed down with his backhand, and the flame became smaller again.

Bai Ling saw that Luodan had calmed down the mess she had caused in an instant, and a look of unwillingness to admit defeat appeared on her face. She angrily tried to make trouble in another way.

However, Luo Dan still managed to turn the tide, tried to suppress Bai Ling, recovered from the mistake, and finally controlled the situation perfectly and successfully refined the pill.

When he took out the pills, the city lord was full of praise and didn't notice anything wrong.

Of course, the city lord would not get close to him when he was refining the elixir, and neither would anyone.

It is a tacit knowledge among everyone that alchemists all have their own taboos.

But one thing is the same, that is, they don't like people watching.

This is equivalent to giving away one's own secrets, and no one would allow it.

The city lord could only wait anxiously outside, feeling anxious at one moment and relaxed at another.

After all, Luo Dan is still so young, and the prescription I gave him is not an ordinary prescription. Can he really do it? If not, it will be a waste of the herbs I have worked so hard to collect.

However, the city lord himself had looked at the medicines in the medicine shop he opened before, and had also shown them to some senior alchemists.

They were all incredulous and thought the technique was very novel and that the person must be a rare talent.

To be honest, this recipe has been given to quite a few people.

But so far, there are only a few alchemists who can refine elixirs.

Even if the pill is successfully refined, the quality of the pill is still worrying.

He was really at his wit's end and was desperate to try every possible means to cure his illness.

I didn't expect that I would give him such a big surprise, and it actually worked.

There was no explosion, no foul smell, and no look of frustration on Luodan's face.

At this time, after a series of psychological construction, the city lord's expectations had dropped very low.

He didn't even ask for any quality, as long as he could make it, he would be satisfied.

"Lodan, how is it? Has it succeeded?"

Luo Dan wiped the sweat from his head, smiled slightly, and gave him the pill.

"Well, fortunately, I have accomplished my mission. I have successfully refined 10 pills in this furnace."

"10 pills, my god, that's a lot of pills. Moreover, the quality of these pills doesn't seem to be low-grade."

The city lord took it and took a closer look, and found that it was actually of top quality.

It's top quality! I'm really lucky.

"Hahaha, Luo Dan, that's great, that's great, I really didn't misjudge you, I knew you could do it, you actually gave me such a big surprise, you really surprised me!"

The city lord was surprised and excited, and kept patting him on the shoulder.

Luo Dan felt a little embarrassed and had to avoid his hand later.

"Lord City Lord, I know everything. There's no need to be so excited."

The city lord finally reacted and withdrew his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Haha, well, you are my honored guest now, so I won't say anything more. No matter what, I must reward you well. Come, I will hold a banquet tonight to welcome you!"

Luo Dan wanted to refuse, but he couldn't push away at all, so he could only be dragged away.

Along the way, the city lord could be said to be chattering non-stop.

"Luo Dan, Luo Dan, you really surprised this city lord. When you first appeared, I didn't know you had the skill of alchemy. You hid it too well. It seems that I still underestimated you. Maybe you have some skills that I don't know."

Luo Dan didn't know what to say, so he could only be humble. He certainly couldn't tell anyone about his secret, so he could only give an ambiguous answer.

The city lord prepared a grand banquet in the evening, but did not invite too many people.

"This is a gathering between you and me, so I didn't let anyone else disturb us. And I know you like to keep a low profile. If this news gets out, I don't know how many people will come to see you."

Luodan was still grateful for this last bit of attention.

So he also raised his glass and drank with the city lord from a distance.

"Thank you City Lord."

Eat delicious food, drink good wine.

Luodan also bowed to the city lord and said goodbye.

"City Lord, in fact, I came here today not only to fulfill the previous agreement, but I also have something to tell you. I am planning to leave."

"what?"

The city lord didn't even hold his wine glass tightly, seeming a little bit unbelievable.

"You, are you leaving just like that, Luo Dan? Why do you want to leave so suddenly? Isn't it good here? If you are willing, as long as you stay, I will even give you an official position."

"No, City Lord, you know that I won't stay anywhere given my personality. I'm leaving not because this place is bad, but it's time to leave and I have other things to do."

As for what it was, Luodan did not say it clearly, but the city lord could guess it.

He was not in the mood to be so excited, but sighed slightly.

"Alas, actually I have already guessed it. This is normal. Luo Dan, you are not someone who will be bound by a certain place. You have a broader future. You are not like me who must occupy one place."

"City Lord, please don't say that. The City Lord also carries a heavy burden. This is not an easy task."

The city lord suddenly smiled and walked forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"No one knows me better than Luo Dan. Well, since you are leaving, the meaning of this meal has changed. Just think of it as a special bar for you before you leave."

Luo Dan cupped his hands. "Thank you for your kindness, City Lord."

At this time, the city lord looked at him with a confused look, as if hesitating about something.

Luo Dan saw it and asked.

"The city lord seems to have something to say to me, so you might as well speak frankly."

The city lord coughed lightly, and had no intention of hiding anything.

"Ahem, it's like this, Luo Dan, I won't hide it from you anymore. Recently, that Lin Feixue has been looking for you. Of course, you happened to be out during this period, so she didn't find you. I think she is likely to find you, so I'm giving you a heads up."

After hearing this, Luo Dan frowned, feeling surprised yet not surprised.

But I didn't expect this person to be so persistent and keep looking for me.

It's not that he was afraid of her, he just didn't like trouble and despised it.

So he pursed his lips and nodded at the city lord.

"Okay, thank you City Lord for telling me this news. I understand. I plan to leave the next morning to avoid her."

I don't want to confront this person head-on. After all, there is no need for them to have any interaction.

Plus, Nineteen was pressing me, so I had originally planned to stay a little longer, but now it seems there’s no need.

That night.

Luo Dan released Bai Ling.

Since Bai Ling came out, she has been staying in the corner alone, ignoring him and not saying anything, obviously looking sulky.

Luo Dan thought it was funny.

"When I was refining the elixir before, you made trouble for me. I didn't bother you at all, but you gave me a bad face?"

"Otherwise, do you expect me to be nice to you?"

Bai Ling is actually a very quiet person and rarely shows her emotions.

But at this moment, she seemed particularly sarcastic and didn't even bother to hide her emotions.

"Luo Dan, if I didn't know that your master was the murderer of my father, perhaps we could still coexist peacefully. But now that you know this fact, why do you think I will still be nice to you?"

When Luo Dan heard this last sentence, he actually wanted to complain.

"Be good to me, Miss Bai Ling. It seems that you have never been good to me. Back in the secret realm, if the furnace had not chosen me, you would have killed me long ago. After we came out, you were also cold and indifferent. You didn't treat me well. Instead, you became my fault?"

Luo Dan touched his nose, feeling that this was truly an injustice that would go down in history.

People sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Bai Ling was speechless for a moment when she thought about what she had done, but she still snorted coldly.

"So what? Your master is Blood Nineteen, the murderer of my father. Just for this reason, I will never forgive you, Luo Dan. We are destined to be sworn enemies. Today, when I was refining the elixir, I tripped you up and I thought you would explode the furnace. I didn't expect you to suppress it. You are quite capable, but next time, I will definitely not let you go."

Luo Dan suddenly raised his eyebrows, sat opposite her, and tapped the table with his fingers, somewhat puzzled.

"Strange, if you really hate me so much, why do you say these things in front of me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly?"

This time, Bai Ling finally turned her head and looked straight at him.

"Luo Dan, I tell you, I am really not afraid. I am not afraid of death, or rather, I have already died. I have been a lonely soul for so many years. Apart from revenge, I have no other thoughts. Although you are the disciple of Blood Nineteen, you are also my benefactor, so I tell you frankly, who lives and who dies in the end depends on each individual."

Luo Dan chuckled. This man was still a man who dared to do and hate.

Even before killing someone, there will be a murder preview, which is interesting.

"Okay, I won't talk to you any more. I'll show you something. Maybe you'll change your mind."

Bai Ling didn't say anything, but had a look of disdain on her face, obviously not believing what he said.

Luodan didn't care. He took out the crystal and activated it.

Soon, the crystal fell into Bai Ling's body, and Bai Ling, who was also part of the contents recorded in the crystal, flashed before her like a passing scene.

What was recorded on it was actually the truth about her father's murder hundreds of years ago.

The father in the crystal is completely different from the father in my memory.

The father here has a cold and murderous look in his eyes and is extremely greedy.

At that time, when Bai Ling’s father saw that Xue Nineteen was “seriously injured”, he instantly lost his moral principles and became murderous.

They were a group of people who besieged Blood Nineteen, but in the end only he and an upright elder were left.

But at this moment, Bai Ling's father suddenly attacked the elder and killed him.

Moreover, he also said it bluntly in the crystal that he did this just to monopolize the treasure of Blood Nineteen. Perhaps because there was no one around and he didn't know about the existence of the memory crystal, his true nature was completely exposed. He looked like a hypocritical hypocrite, ambitious, cruel and bloody.

As for Blood Nineteen, he was just pretending in the first place, but now seeing this, he stopped pretending.

Just kill the person directly and quickly, skin him, remove his tendons, and hang him up for public display.

After reading all the content, Bai Ling was in a daze and couldn't say a word.

Her first reaction was disbelief.

"No, this can't be true, this can't be true!"

"No, Bai Ling, you are already quite old, so you must have good eyesight. You should know that this thing is a famous memory crystal. It has only one function, which is to record. There is no way to falsify it, and there is no way to create an illusion."

Bai Ling was silent now, because she also knew this.

Precisely because it is clear, it cannot be refuted or accepted.

She couldn't imagine that the father she remembered as kind and loving was actually such a despicable villain who killed his companions and righteous people just to embezzle the treasure and cover up his crimes.

How could her father be such a selfish, despicable person?

If this is the case, Blood Nineteen's actions were nothing more than a self-protective counterattack.

Bai Ling didn't know what reason she had to attack him or hold him accountable. She was in a daze and fell into silence.

Luo Dan knew that she couldn't accept it for the time being, but he still stepped forward to comfort her.

"Bai Ling, I know you may not be able to accept this for a while, but this is the fact. No matter how unwilling you are, you have to face it. Now that you know the truth, do you still have a reason to attack my master?"

Bai Ling lowered her head silently without saying a word. She was also in the wrong.

After a long time, Bai Ling's energy seemed to have completely dissipated, leaving only a deep feeling of tiredness lingering around her.

"sorry."

These three words were spoken softly, but they still clearly entered Luo Dan's ears. (End of this chapter)
