Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 996: Chapter 565: Fishing for the Toad Spirit Chapter 996: Chapter 565: Fishing for the Toad Spirit When it came to this matter, Snow Wood couldn’t help but reveal a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

“I heard it from my Master, and it was said that the news came from you. This is no small matter. I thought it over and decided to come and ask. If it’s true, the Human race may be in great trouble,”

Having said that, she let out a long sigh, filled with helplessness about the future.

Seeing her like this, Logan wanted to say something but found himself at a loss for words.

“Facing such a formidable enemy, there’s not much I can say, except that we should encourage each other,”

“As for the truth of the matter, I have no need to deceive you. This is no small thing; I have expended tremendous effort to investigate. If it can save some of us, it would be an immeasurable merit,”

Meeting his gentle gaze, something stirred in Snow Wood’s heart.

Perhaps he really wouldn’t lie, nor did he have any reason to.

But the fact that he had this intention already made him much stronger than others.

After his comforting words, Snow Wood felt much more stable emotionally.

“You’re right, instead of wallowing in sorrow and fear here, it’s better to pick up the sword in our hands and fight it out with them. It’s not the final moment yet; who can say who will win or lose? Besides, in this battle between Humans and Demons, it’s not like we can choose not to participate if we don’t want to. In the end, there’s only one path, and death is the same whether in life or in death,”

Logan raised his eyebrows, not expecting the girl to have such a detached view.

Generally, people with high Talent tend to be more afraid of death than others.

“Having cultivated to this Level, aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Snow Wood looked at him, her gaze flickering, then quickly lowered her eyelashes.

“Afraid, but I am more afraid of dying a humiliating death. Dying on the battlefield is glorious, fighting to protect one’s own clan is even more honorable. If I were to be killed while fleeing, I’d be drowned in spit,”

After saying this, she scoffed lightly, her smile revealing a hint of nonchalance.

As the two were having an animated conversation, suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside.

“Is anybody here, Young Master Logan, are you in the room?”

Logan and Snow Wood exchanged a glance, and although they were puzzled, they still went outside.

Upon exiting, they found that the person outside was dressed like a group of soldiers and, what’s more, they seemed to be of a higher rank than the City Lord’s soldiers.

“You are…”

Logan was not afraid, but simply squinted his eyes and asked.

The person in front quickly cupped his hands in salute, politely stating his identity.

“We are soldiers from the Imperial City. The Emperor commands that the person who brought the news be escorted to the Imperial City for an audience,”

As he spoke, the soldier’s gaze shifted, noticing Snow Wood standing to the side.

“Ah, Miss Wood, I didn’t expect to find you here?”

“Yes, this Young Master Logan is a good friend of mine. I came to him today to find out more about the Demon Race. It seems that you are seeking him for an audience for the same matter,”

“Indeed, we didn’t expect Miss Wood to be acquainted with Lord Logan. Since that is the case, why don’t you come to the Imperial City with us? It would be good for the two of you to look after each other. This matter is very important, and Miss Wood can also gain more information,”

The soldiers’ attitude was entirely considerate, and as they knew each other, there were no reservations.

Snow Wood thought it over carefully and finally nodded.

“Alright, then I will accompany you. I do want to understand clearly what the Demon Race is planning,”

Saying this, she clenched her fists, her eyes serious and stern.

Not just she, but almost everyone else had a similar reaction, including the soldiers.

Logan glanced at the spirited Snow Wood and truly saw the young girl in a new light.

Since she intended to accompany them, it didn’t seem like a big deal, so he didn’t voice any objections.

Because these soldiers knew Snow Wood, even though they were not familiar with Logan, they gave him face and did not escort him away like a prisoner.

“Then let’s go, Lord Logan, Miss Wood, please come this way,”

The soldiers were still very polite, and Snow Wood acknowledged with a nod.

Afterward, the two followed the soldiers to a carriage.

Driving the carriage was a Fiery Horse Beast, faster on its feet than ordinary mortal horses.

While allowing them to get on, the soldiers also took the time to explain.

“The battle situation is urgent, and the Emperor is very eager to know the specifics, so we must leave immediately for the Imperial City. Please understand,”

Both gestured their understanding; it was a reasonable request and not something to be coy about.

Once the two were aboard the carriage, the soldiers spurred the horses forward.

In the carriage,

The two sat opposite each other, creating an awkward silence for a moment.

Snow Wood only knew about fighting and killing, unsure how to lighten the mood, and with the two sitting so close in the same carriage, she seemed to catch the scent of fresh grass emanating from him. For a moment, her ears tingled, and a strange impulse rose within her heart.

It was Logan who spoke first, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

“You come with me to have an audience in this manner, but what about your Falling Snow Sect? If the Demon Race is planning to make a move, the big sects are thorns in their eyes. Wouldn’t you go back to help your Master?”

Snow Wood listened, unbothered, and just chuckled.

“Although I’m the most talented among the younger generation, compared to my Master or the Elders, I still fall far short. Rest assured, with the accumulated strength of many years of the Falling Snow Sect, with my Master and various Elders in command, there won’t be any problems. I have a lot of confidence in them.”
