Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"Anyway, if we fail, we'll both go to hell together, if hell really exists."

"..."

Hermes was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed:

"Of course, Lucas, we're all in the same boat now. Since the plan has already begun, there's no point in saying anything more now."

"Tell me what you need me to do next, and I will cooperate 100%."

Lucas scoffed at Hermes' smile and sneered:

"Then proceed according to the original plan."

"So what if the first half fails? They only have four people, while we have far more. As long as we act quickly enough, the kingdom won't be able to do anything to us."

Hermes nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

"Aren't you going through the window anymore?"

Lucas's voice came from behind.

"Come back for your milk tea after this success."

Hermes gave an irrelevant answer.

As Hermes stepped out of Lucas's room, his expression changed rapidly, like the weather turning from sunny to cloudy, with the gloom in his eyes making no attempt to conceal it.

Does this old madman think he can intimidate me by yelling at me a few times?

If things weren't already beyond repair, I would definitely beat that old man's face to a pulp.

Going to hell together? Ha! I still have a long life ahead of me. Only a fool would go to hell with a damn old madman like you.

Go to hell, you bastard.

His inner turmoil was like the turbulent sea during a thunderstorm, but his speed was not slow at all. With magic arrays appearing one after another, he appeared directly at the gate of the Sorcerer Academy, and bumped right into Sheke who was rushing over.

"Where have you been, Hermes? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shek's gaze was sharp, as if he wanted to see right through Hermes.

"I had a feeling that something was about to happen, so I rushed out to check it out."

Hermes pursed his lips and looked toward the inner city in the distance, where smoke billowed and sandstorms swept like tornadoes.

“I think that must be the work of your family, Mr. Shek, and now it’s out of control.”

After saying that, he pointed to the Forest of Illusions in the direction of the outer city, where layers of illusory light were flashing, and within the illusory light, there seemed to be a huge figure moving towards Kanriel.

"This seems to be the case too."

Shek's eyes turned cold.

He couldn't refute it.

The manager of the Gold-Earning Casino and the large estate owner hiding in the Illusionary Mushroom Forest are both fifth-tier beings, weapons created by predecessors with countless efforts, but now they are all out of control.

"Let's go, Lord Shek, which one should we stop?"

Hermes shrugged:

"I hope the monsters created by the geniuses of your family over the generations aren't too strong."

Shek paused for half a second before speaking:

"Vivian and Basil have already gone to the inner city. Let's go to the outer city."

Basil is the name of that little girl who is the leader of the group.

"no problem."

Hermes nodded:

“I told Lucas to go to the inner city too, since the Gold Rush Casino is the lair of those monsters.”

……

Luo Xiu gave the last bottle of medicine to the patient in front of him, and his expression softened as he watched the mushrooms on the patient's body begin to fall off.

He laid the patient flat, then swiftly found Leila distributing healing potions.

"Thank you for your hard work, Leila."

Luo Xiu looked at Leila's chestnut hair, which was damp with sweat, and even her ears were sweaty. He patted her head.

"Owner!"

Leila was pleasantly surprised to see Luo Xiu appear in front of her, and shook her head:

"It's not hard work. Many people in the group work harder than Leila."

"There are about three more areas where the medicine should be distributed."

"Okay, no rush. From now on, you only have one job: stay in the city without worry."

Luo Xiu spoke, but Leila clearly misunderstood.

"I will do my best to protect everyone in the city."

Leila nodded and smiled brightly.

She's still wearing that blood-stained white dress; she hasn't had time to change.

Luo Xiu didn't say anything more. He placed his hand on her forehead, and the [Hand of Creation] activated. A damp wind blew by, then quickly dried, blowing away the sweat from her hair and ears.

"I'll be back in a bit."

Luo Xiu's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Tata.

Tata was standing in an alchemy shop, with alchemical materials piled up behind her and various colorful potions laid out on the ground in front of her.

His tentacles seemed to dance in the air, constantly grabbing alchemical materials behind him, blending, purifying, and refining them. With each swing, a new potion would appear on his tentacles and be sorted and placed.

All the medicines for the entire city were concocted by this old man alone.

"Teacher, all patients have been treated."

Luo Xiu spoke softly, worried about disturbing Tata's refining process.

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's voice, Tata's tentacles paused for a moment before resuming their refining process.

"Yes, we still need to refine some potions for later use."

"Thank you for your hard work this time. Basil and Vivian both told me about it. You did a great job."

A smile appeared on Luo Xiu's face in response to Tata's praise:

"The students are just doing their best."

“My skills are not good enough, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to rely on you, teacher, to refine all the potions needed for the entire Kanriel.”

Tata shook his head:

"You just don't have enough time."

After speaking, Tata seemed to recall something and fell silent for a moment:

"Time is the greatest enemy."

"We old guys will take over the rest, you can rest now."

"In a while, perform well in the Golden Apple Garden, advance to the fifth rank as soon as possible, and then move on to the sixth rank."

Luo Xiu's smile froze for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tata opposite him:

"Um... teacher, actually I... should already be at the fifth level."

"..."

All the tentacles around Tata stopped moving.

He was facing Luo Xiu, so he couldn't see the expression on his face beneath the black mist, but Luo Xiu unconsciously swallowed and tried his best to smile.

Lying is not a good habit.

Tata spoke slowly, her voice hoarse and low.

"Students dare not lie."

Luo Xiu placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed slightly in greeting.

"..."

A few seconds later, the tentacles around Tata started moving again.

"Now that I've advanced to the fifth rank, I'll go see if those old guys need any help and lend a hand if I can."

"Ok."

Luo Xiu smiled broadly.

He understands his teacher.

This sentence means that,

Let those guys see how much better my students are than theirs.

Luo Xiu was very happy because Tata believed he had broken through to the fifth rank after asking him just one question.

This shows that the teacher still recognizes his abilities.

He took a step forward, and his figure vanished from the spot.

Seeing the speed Luo Xiu displayed, Tata finally couldn't hold back any longer. The tentacles around her stopped, and she muttered to herself:

"How old is this kid again? In his twenties? ...I think I was 33 when I broke through to the fourth rank of the upper level?"

Looking at the smoke-filled sky and the dark clouds outside, he began to doubt life and the talent he was so proud of.

……

Having received the task from his teacher, Luo Xiu stood on the outer street, observing the strange phenomena on both sides.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the mushroom monster created from the two beams of light that split off from the failed fifth-tier mushroom monster.

One path was given to the Gold-Making Casino, and the other was given to the direction of the Illusionary Mushroom Forest.

According to Barr, that should be the direction of the large landowner.
