Chapter 1984 Tomorrow will be better

When thinking about high-level equipment, one cannot help but mention the year known as the Dark Ages when the Strangers first arrived.

Back then, anyone who brought out a weapon of high quality or above would immediately be attacked by waves of strangers. Sometimes, even high-level equipment with good attributes would be targeted.

Special missions that could yield high-quality equipment, and the level 100 monsters that could upgrade high-level equipment, were naturally also highly sought after. At that time, the strangers fought quite fiercely.

Of course, this situation still exists now, but it has become much less severe.

Deeply intertwined with this situation is the murder of strangers.

The existence of these murderous strangers is a major headache for the Olympiad Committee, who are unsure how to deal with them.

Normally, they would issue a warrant without hesitation and assist in the hunt. In extreme situations, such as during a major disaster, they would naturally set aside past grievances and unite against the common enemy. However, the Olympia tournament is a very delicate matter.

To be honest, this is a competition that promotes peace, and it's the first one. If a murderous stranger were to participate as a contestant, they couldn't very well expel him.

However, it's not an extreme case. After all, this was a competitive event, just on a large scale. Allowing a murderous stranger to act freely under our noses would be a blatant disregard for the law.

The dispute has continued until now, and there is still no definitive answer.

But Blazer estimated that the committee had chosen to play the coward, turning a blind eye and pretending there was no problem, letting the outsiders deal with it internally. Anyway, the outsiders wanted to kill the murderous outsiders even more than they did, so they just waited for the outcome.

After completing the cooperation agreement with the first leader of the Golden Tree Sea Alliance, Kanshui City was on the right track. Although only half of the lord city was built and the foundation was laid, it was just right. The remaining half was built by the Golden Tree Sea Alliance, making Kanshui City a veritable exchange center of the Golden Tree Sea.

It is worth mentioning that neither Ishtar nor Ereshkigal appeared throughout the entire process, remaining completely on the side of the natural ecosystem and observing the whole process with a rather indifferent attitude.

There's nothing we can do about it. Leaving aside Ishtar, who's so conspicuous, Ereshkigal can't show his face. The natural ecosystem is a platform without any bias, not to mention whether it's Death Scorpion or the Judge. We must always keep our distance from all individuals.

However, it was clear that Ereshkigal had been watching closely all along, like a little girl eavesdropping in a corner. When they completed the contract and discussed building Kanwater City, she couldn't wait to wave her scepter and use her authority over the Golden Tree Sea to open the teleportation tower of Kanwater City.

This scene is quite frightening, reminiscent of the previous anti-Invasion of the Tree of Life. By a hair's breadth, the heroic warriors stationed at the construction site in Kanwater City thought that the Golden Tree Sea had begun to invade again.

Looking at Kanshui City, which was mostly occupied by the Tree of Life, a feeling of "going too far" and "getting too excited" washed over me.

Clearly, while Ereshkigal maintained a cold distance, he personally quite agreed with the alliance plan and was very much looking forward to the successful construction of this city, which could become a place for communication with various races around the world.

The very sensible and perfect druid and Eldar, the Elf King, apologized to Blaze, saying that they were too excited about the future that the contract could create, and inadvertently affected the Golden Tree Sea, causing this situation, which had absolutely nothing to do with the will of the Golden Tree Sea itself.

Although they were being scapegoated, it felt like the real culprit had been revealed, and the construction of Kanshui City naturally fell into the hands of the Golden Tree Sea Alliance.

Upon receiving intelligence about the formation of the Golden Tree Sea Alliance and the successful signing of a cooperation agreement, Herbie, representing the Hermes' Hat, and Marika, representing Asgard, arrived to discuss the cooperation in detail with Eldar, the Elf King and the first leader of the alliance.

These formalities were left to them, while Blazer went to do another important task. With Kanwater City undoubtedly qualified for the Olympiad, the construction of other cities and the recruitment of contestants needed to proceed simultaneously.

Other cities, towns, and villages have to hold one competition after another to select a convincing contestant, but Kanshui City doesn't have this problem because so far no outsider has come.

When Herbie arrived, he brought bad news: most of the outsiders had already participated in the preliminary selections at various gathering places where they were eligible to compete.

Those of average or below-average means from outside the region chose to participate in the preliminary selections in the lord's city and large cities. These regions have financial alliances, Hermes's Traveling Hat, and the support of the kingdom, making them very wealthy and powerful. Even the preliminary selections were incredibly lively, with many prizes to be won.

The exceptionally powerful outsiders were either recruited by the royal city early on, or they returned to the place where their stories began, to the unknown initial villages.

Asgard, being the only kingdom without any public pre-event activities and with little fanfare, was ignored by the outsiders.

The only path left for Blazer is to improve the group of outsiders he brought from Greenland to a level where they can compete.

"They'll be here tomorrow, don't worry, they'll definitely be here." Greenland yawned and patted Blazer on the shoulder sleepily.

"Don't worry about me handling things. I'm heading back to the guild now. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Blazer watched Greenland leave, then simply found a step to sit on and stretched.

Drop drop-

The alarm for three meals a day rings on time, signaling dinner time, even though it's long past dinner time.

Occasionally, Jasmine would still give him a little cheating, deliberately adjusting his mealtime to his rest time when he was busy and overwhelmed.

The daily check-in for three meals a day has been going on for a long time, and it would be a shame to stop now. If I miss it, I'll have one less meal a day. Even if I eat late, I still have to eat.

Blazer opened his lunchbox. Dinner was plentiful. Lunch was simple: sandwiches. He had been traveling to one territories of apex predators after another and hadn't been able to eat properly, so he opted for convenient food like sandwiches.

In the evening, when everyone is at peace, it's natural to have a more substantial meal to make up for what was lacking at noon.

After taking a bite of the hot food, Blaze contentedly chewed on his spoon while admiring the night view.

Tomorrow will definitely be better.
