Gods: Start with Goblins

"He never shows off his strength, and always protects our city silently. With him here, we have a backbone, and we are no longer afraid no matter what difficulties we encounter."

The crowd was talking one after another, and they were all expressing their admiration and gratitude to Luo Dan in their own way. Luo Dan, however, seemed to be unaware of everything in the outside world. He was still concentrating on studying the magic book in his hand, occasionally looking out the window, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked out. Everyone looked at him in surprise, and saw that the man was Luo Dan. He was wearing a black robe, with an upright figure and a cold and mysterious face. His appearance instantly made the people around him fall into silence.

Luo Dan glanced at the crowd around him calmly, as if he was looking at a group of insignificant ants. Then, he slowly spoke: "Everyone, although I, Luo Dan, am quite powerful, I am not omnipotent. True strength comes from inner determination and unremitting pursuit. If you want to become stronger, please remember this."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving a group of people standing there in shock. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and enlightenment. Luo Dan's words were like a flash of lightning that cut through the night sky, illuminating their way forward.

In a corner of the magic market, outside a shop called "Shadow Magic Shop", people gathered, but kept a strange distance. They were standing or standing, but their eyes were all focused on the figure in the shop - Luo Dan, the legendary magic master. Luo Dan was reading a yellowed ancient book with his head down, and a faint magic aura surrounded him, like a mist, mysterious and attractive.

The people around stared at Luo Dan with wanton eyes, their eyes were full of curiosity and awe, as if Luo Dan was a taboo that could not be touched. They looked at each other, communicating their shock with their eyes, but no one dared to disturb him.

"Your Excellency is so powerful," a young man in a blue magic robe couldn't help but whisper, his eyes flashing with admiration, "I never thought that Your Excellency would be so powerful, it's really beyond my imagination. If Your Excellency is really so powerful, I think we may have to reconsider our previous plans!"

His words immediately resonated with the people around him. A burly warrior holding a huge hammer nodded, with a hint of awe in his rough voice: "Yes, the master's strength is unfathomable. We tried to challenge him before, but now it's ridiculous."

"What do you know?" A seemingly elderly magician glanced at them with disdain, with a hint of pride in his tone, "Your Excellency's strength is of course the most powerful, there is no doubt about that. If your Excellency's strength was not that powerful, how could you have attracted so much magic energy and shaken the entire market? For people like us, it is already a great honor to be able to stand here and watch from afar."

His words aroused the enthusiasm of the people around him. They rushed to express their opinions, as if everyone wanted to gain the upper hand in this discussion about Lordan's strength.

"You are all wrong. Your Excellency's strength is not only reflected in his attainments in magic, but also in his endless exploration of magic." A beautiful witch wearing a gorgeous long dress spoke slowly, her voice gentle and magnetic, "It is this desire for the unknown that makes you a legend in all of our hearts."

While everyone was arguing, Zhao Tian hurried through the crowd, his face full of anxiety. He walked straight to the other end of the market, where there was a towering castle. The lord of the city was sitting on the highest floor of the castle, overlooking the entire market.

Zhao Tian arrived in front of the castle, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "My Lord, I have something urgent to report!"

The city lord sensed Zhao Tian's presence and immediately came back to his senses from his deep thoughts. He smiled slightly, and said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Zhao Tian, ​​why are you so flustered? Speak slowly."

Zhao Tian walked quickly into the castle and told the city lord about the discussion about Luo Dan at the market and the abnormality of the demonic energy. After hearing this, the city lord frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "Luo Dan's strength is indeed extraordinary. The demonic energy on him is so strong, I am afraid he has made a new breakthrough. We must deal with it carefully, maintaining respect for him while also guarding against possible risks."

Zhao Tian nodded, secretly glad that he informed the city lord of the situation in time. He knew that in this world full of magic and unknowns, any disturbance could cause a storm. And Luodan was undoubtedly the center of the coming storm.

In a corner of the magic market, in a shop called "Shadow Magic Shop", Zhao Tian walked into the shop with steady steps under the dim light. The shop was simply furnished, but it revealed an extraordinary atmosphere. Several ancient magic books were placed on the table in the middle, and Luo Dan, the legendary magic master, was immersed in the pages of the book with his head down, surrounded by a faint magic aura, as if he was isolated from the world.

"Zhao Tian, ​​since you are here, it must be that the master wants to do something." An old man in a gray robe walked out of the inner room. His eyes were sharp, but a little gentle. "Tell me, as long as it is what the master wants to do, we will tell you everything we know!" After saying that, he coughed lightly, as if to hide the fluctuations in his heart.

Zhao Tian nodded, his expression solemn: "My lord hopes that you can set up a formation outside his shop to gather all the evil spirits to his side. Such ability is not something that ordinary people can do." There was a bit of awe in his tone, and it was obvious that he had a deep understanding of Luodan's strength.

The old man frowned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The last formation was barely successful because several of us worked together. This time, you still need my help, and the requirements are higher. You need to gather all the demonic energy to your side... This..." He gritted his teeth, saying that it was impossible not to be surprised. After all, such a formation is not only extremely complicated, but also extremely risky. If you are not careful, it may lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Is that really what you said?" A young magician next to the old man interrupted in surprise, "Didn't you tell the adults about the dangers? If anything goes wrong, we can't take responsibility!" There was a bit of anxiety and worry in his tone, and he was obviously puzzled and worried about Lordan's decision.

Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly: "Of course I did, but the master has made up his mind. He said he has his own plan. Moreover, the master also specifically told me that this formation must be carried out secretly and must not attract the attention of others." His eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and worry, and he obviously knew the difficulty and danger of this task. After hearing this, the old man was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Since the master has made up his mind, we can only go all out. However, Zhao Tian, ​​you must understand that this formation is different from the past, and we need to be more cautious and careful. Moreover, we must be fully prepared in case of any accidents." His tone was firm and powerful, as if he was cheering himself and Zhao Tian up.

Zhao Tian nodded with a firm look: "I understand, I will do my best to assist you. Moreover, I will pay close attention to your situation, and if there is anything wrong, I will report to you immediately." His eyes revealed some determination and courage, as if he was telling himself that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would move forward bravely.

In this way, a secret operation about magic energy and formations quietly unfolded. Outside Luodan's shop, the old man, Zhao Tian and several other magicians began to get busy, drawing talismans, setting up formations, or chanting spells, and every action seemed so focused and serious. Luodan, on the other hand, was still immersed in the pages of the book, as if he was completely unaware of everything outside. However, deep in his heart, he was hiding an unknown secret and plan...

In a corner of the magic market, Zhao Tian and the city lord were talking in low voices, both of them had frowns on their faces, and were obviously troubled by something difficult. There were bustling crowds around them, but their conversation seemed to be isolated from the world.

"I've already told the adults, but they just don't listen, and there's nothing we can do." Zhao Tian sighed, his tone full of helplessness, "Didn't the adults also tell us about our current situation? He said he could do such a thing casually! But we all know that's no joke."

Upon hearing this, the city lord also looked worried: "Yes, Zhao Tian, ​​you told Luo Dan the results and consequences, but he refused to listen. He also told us that his strength can still absorb no matter how much demonic energy comes. But we all know in our hearts that demonic energy is not so easy to control. What if..." He did not continue speaking, but the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.

Zhao Tian also knew the stakes involved. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. "City Lord, what should we do now? We can't really let the adults do this, right? If something goes wrong, our entire tribe will suffer!"

The city lord was silent for a moment, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he slowly spoke: "I heard that recently a group of human beings have been living in the post station. They are disguised as our people. I think they have ulterior motives. How about this, Zhao Tian, ​​you go and capture them. They should be very powerful. Refine them into magic energy and send them to the adults. This way, we can solve our urgent needs and teach those human beings who dare to trespass into our territory a lesson."

Zhao Tian heard this, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Okay! If the human race dares to trespass into our territory, don't blame us for being merciless. We have been forbearing all this time, but that doesn't mean we don't hate the human race in our hearts. This time, let them know how powerful we are!"

After saying that, Zhao Tian turned around and was about to leave, but the city lord suddenly stopped him: "Zhao Tian, ​​wait a minute. This matter must be done cleanly and neatly, without leaving any clues. Also, you must remember that our target is only those humans who trespass into our territory, and we must not harm innocent people. After all, although there is a deep hatred between us and the human race, we cannot lose our reason and bottom line because of this."

Zhao Tian nodded with a firm look: "Don't worry, City Lord, I know what to do. I will be careful and make sure everything goes well." After saying that, he flashed and disappeared into the crowd.

The city lord looked at Zhao Tian's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that although this action was to resolve the immediate crisis, it could also cause greater trouble. However, facing Luo Dan's stubbornness and the threat of demonic energy, they seemed to have no choice. They could only hope that everything could go smoothly, so that their tribe could continue to live safely on this land.

Deep in the magic market, a magnificent castle stood. Inside the castle, Zhao Tian was talking to a stern-looking adult in a black robe. The adult's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and he exuded unquestionable majesty.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll go today. I've long hated these humans. I feel like they're just a bunch of hypocritical people who don't deserve to stay here!" Zhao Tian said angrily, his eyes flashing with deep hatred and disdain for the human race. His words were full of determination and strength, as if at this moment, he couldn't wait to catch all those "hypocritical" humans in one fell swoop.

Upon hearing this, the lord raised a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth. He nodded gently, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Okay, well said. Then I'll wait for your triumphant return!" His voice was low and powerful, as if every word contained endless majesty and expectation.

Zhao Tian straightened his chest, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Don't worry, sir, we will succeed!" His tone was full of confidence and determination, as if he had foreseen the dawn of victory. After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the castle, ready to lead his men to the post station to launch an action against the human race.

At the same time, several sect members at the post station were chatting leisurely, and they had no idea that danger was approaching quietly. Suddenly, an inexplicable chill made their hearts tighten, and they looked at each other, with fear and confusion flashing in their eyes.

"What's going on?" someone asked in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly, obviously frightened by the sudden chill.

"I don't know, but I feel something is wrong." The other man frowned and looked around for possible threats.

However, before they could react, Zhao Tian and his men appeared at the entrance of the post station like ghosts. Their appearance instantly plunged the people of the sect into panic and despair.

At this moment, outside the door of the City Lord's Mansion, a figure flashed by quickly. (End of this chapter)
