Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 837: Chapter 494: Blood of Resentment

“Alright then, let’s not delay any further, and set out right now,”

“Leave now?”

Logan raised his eyebrows, feeling a bit surprised.

“What, kid, you’re not thinking of postponing the trip, are you? I must tell you, opportunities are rare, and it’s up to you to seize them. If you miss this one, who knows what will happen next time.”

Logan lowered his eyebrows, a trace of an unusual expression flashing quickly in his eyes.

He spoke calmly, “No, Master, you misunderstood. I was just a bit surprised, that’s all. If it’s now, then now it is. Please, Master, lead the way.”

Nineteen sized him up, then haughtily tilted his chin.

“That’s more like it. If you were that clueless, I wouldn’t have taken you with me. Come on, follow me—you’ll be in safe hands.”

Watching the figure swagger away, Logan’s mouth twitched, a little helpless.

This person, how can he be reliable one moment and not the next? Truly baffling.

Following a stranger blindly wasn’t in his nature.

However, just as the man had said, chances weren’t easy to come by.

With such a Great Law laid out before him, he had to forge ahead, be it through mountains of knives or seas of flames.

Logan bowed his head and pondered on his own for a moment, slowly clenching his fists.

Then, pursing his lips, he quickly followed without saying a word.

“Master, wait for me. I still have some questions for you about that Secret Land. How much do you know…?”

Indeed, at this point, he still did not trust Nineteen and hoped to pry more information from him.

Nineteen’s reply was somewhat impatient, “Oh, you young people really, always so cautious. What’s with all the questions? Just follow along, you won’t miss out on the good stuff.”

Having said that, it seemed as if he was fed up with Logan’s bothersome nature and, with a leap, flew away, leaving him far behind but not out of sight.

Logan: …

Indeed a weird and lazy old man.

“Such a fast speed.” But with such speed, he must have some real skills.

Soon, he too leapt into the air, chasing after the old man’s direction.

The two traveled a long distance and finally arrived at a small town.

“Master, is the Secret Land you mentioned inside this town?”

“No, it’s nearby, not too far from here. But after such a long journey, I’m tired too, so let’s rest in the town first.”

Having said this, he didn’t wait for Logan’s approval and started looking for a place to stay.

All this time on the road, he hadn’t had the chance to drink a good wine.

Now that he had arrived in a populated place, he would be at a loss if he didn’t have a good drink.

Nineteen was picky, finally choosing a tavern with a good flow of people.

Once inside, he threw himself down onto a chair, crossed his legs arrogantly, and, patting the table, bellowed loudly, “Waiter, bring the wine. Bring out all the fine wine you have!”

The waiter frowned subconsciously at Nineteen’s shabby appearance.

Instead of bringing the wine immediately, he went to find the manager.

The manager, seeing Nineteen’s unrefined appearance, frowned as well.

However, noticing Logan by his side, he relaxed his brow.

Pulling the waiter aside, he whispered, “It’s fine. Although the old guy is scruffy, the young man next to him seems quite wealthy. Just do as we normally do, and milk them for all they’re worth. Go on, make sure to overcharge them.”

The waiter’s eyes gleamed shrewdly. With the orders from his boss, he stopped hesitating, nodded and said, “No problem.”

“Gentlemen, your order has arrived. These are all the best wines in our establishment. Drink as much as you like, we have plenty!”

Far from stopping him, the waiter encouraged him even more, not doubting his ability to pay.

Nineteen didn’t care about the waiter’s attitude, he was only interested in the wine.

Logan watched him drink nonstop and couldn’t help but rub his temples.

“Master, do you really like drinking that much? Drinking can lead to trouble. Don’t we still have important matters to attend to?”

“Haha, what’s the hurry? The Secret Land is just nearby, only a quarter of an hour’s journey. But good wine should not be missed. I’ve led you this far and haven’t had a drop of wine. You can’t deny me this little compensation, can you?”

In the end, his tone even carried a hint of reproach.

Helpless, Logan knew he had few pleasures, his only one being wine.

If there really was a Secret Land, and this was such a big favor, it was only right to treat him to a drink. @@novelbin@@

“Alright, go ahead and drink as much as you like. Waiter, keep it coming.”

The waiter’s eyes lit up, looking at Logan as if he were a wealthy patron.

“Eh, gentlemen, rest assured, we have plenty of wine and will not let this guest down.”

Nineteen drank for a long time while Logan sat by his side, ordering some snacks and light drinks and occasionally sipping.

But he wasn’t a drinker or a glutton; a little was enough for him.

Not like Nineteen.

Seeing his refined demeanor, Nineteen couldn’t help but spit out, “Pretentious.”

Seeing that he had almost had his fill, Logan prepared to pay the bill.

“Waiter, let’s settle the bill.”

The waiter ran over again, but after calculating, he came up with a price of a thousand Spirit Stones.
