Underestimated

Dao Ma the River God ignored Rowan's words and looked at the vibrating weapon that he was holding,

"What sort of weapon is that?" Dao Ma called out partly in shock and partly in greed.

Rowan smiled, aware that the god did not find this situation any bit threatening, "Answer my question and I will answer yours."

Dao Ma's head reared back in surprise, the gall of this mortal was annoying, and then he seemed to figure something out and he laughed,

"Hah, here is the trap! The arrangement is ingenious and I don't even understand the energy flowing inside the Formation. For the first time in many millennia, the efforts of a mortal caught my attention. Tell me who is the god behind you?"

Dao Ma looked at the skies and shouted, "Come out and stop playing games, except you wish your vassals here to be sacrificed to placate my irritation."
