Don't call me evil god

Chapter 217 Hunting Moon

Old Money was skeptical about what the goblin Hugo said...

He narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"

He has lived in Greenport for a long time and is very familiar with the goblins' way of doing things.

It can be described like this:

When a goblin screams, it may not be a big deal. These green-skinned little guys are very startled and have a bad temper. Their screaming may just be caused by something irritating them.

But when a goblin pats his chest and promises you that everything is under control and there won't be any problems, you have to be careful!

These guys tend to ignore "risks" when doing things, so the probability of their plans going wrong or going awry is quite high.

The goblin Hugo said sincerely:
"Don't worry! I promise, I'm not like those goblins you know!"

……

Tens of minutes later.

Old Moni and other believers from Green Port followed the goblin Hugo into the refugee camp outside the city. After many twists and turns, they arrived at a group of guarded shacks.

The several young guards were dressed just like the other refugees in the slum, wearing patched or tattered shirts. The difference was that they did not have the strange smell of sweat and were in much better spirits, unlike those refugees who were starving and exhausted.

Noticing that Hugo had brought people over, the young people greeted them enthusiastically.

"Mr. Xiwei!"

"Everything is ready according to your request!"

Hugo nodded with satisfaction and stood still for a few seconds: "Okay, the points are transferred to you!"

Several young people expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

They are the latest batch of believers in the God of Knowledge.

Before fighting monsters, they need to save up at least 100 life points to leave themselves a "retreat" for resurrection.

Hugo offered a good price and hired them to come here to help welcome the arriving believers, and the newlyweds happily came over.

This shack is located deep inside the refugee camp and is difficult to find unless you look for it specifically.

As batch after batch of refugees were recruited by Hugo and other believers and taken to the Misty Valley, the refugee camp outside Ceylon City had actually become smaller in size, and many of the huts inside were left vacant.

Unless there is a clear threat from an evil god that is about to erupt, the priests of the Cult of the Glowing God usually stay away from the refugee camps. Even when they are providing relief, they will set up temporary venues outside the refugee camps and will not go inside at all.

Therefore, the reduction in the size of the refugee camp has not yet been discovered.

Apart from the slightly harsh environment, the refugee camp is actually very suitable for people like Hugo who sneak into the Kingdom of Reyak to temporarily hide.

From time to time, he would secretly preach the gospel, taking a few refugees to the border, hiding during the day and moving out at night, without anyone noticing.

But this time the situation is different.

There were many believers arriving at Green Harbor.

There were nearly a thousand people who came in batches, and many of them came with packages considering immigration.

Hugo couldn't expect that the Countess of Ceylon and the Church of the Light were all blind.

Such a large population movement will definitely lead to investigation.

Without a proper reason, it's easy to find people suspicious.

The existence of the heresy expulsion order is a huge trouble. If believers are discovered, they may be treated as "heretic infiltration threats" and thrown directly into prison.

At that time, it was no longer about smuggling out of the country, but about a prison break.

Hugo had to find a way to provide these people with a suitable identity so that they could leave "openly" to some extent.

Fortunately, there is a good opportunity right now.

The hot summer days are coming to an end.

During the autumn harvest season, a grand event will be held in the name of the king in Ceylon. "Hunting Moon."

This event is related to the enthronement of manor nobles.

Throughout September, registered professionals can go beyond the border, hunt and kill monsters, and collect spoils that are sufficient to prove the monster's rank.

After the activity, the king will reward the hunters according to the amount of spoils they have captured.
If a professional's rating reaches level 3, he or she can also swear allegiance to the king and be canonized as a new batch of manor nobles.

"We disguise ourselves as professionals participating in the Hunting Moon?" asked Old Moni.

Hugo immediately shook his head in denial:

"No, no, no, I can't."

"We are going to use the Hunting Moon, but not the professionals who participate in the Disguise City - but the merchants who provide various services to the professionals!"

With that, Hugo went into the shed.

A large pile of refugee clothes that were randomly stacked together and emitted sour, smelly and various strange odors were taken out.

"After the Hunting Month arrives, the border area will be temporarily bustling with people. Merchants will bring weapons, equipment, and various consumables that professionals need over there and sell them."

"As for the personnel responsible for transportation... Hey, is there anyone more suitable than refugees?"

"Refugees are cheap, obedient, honest, and discriminated against."

Hugo smiled slyly.

The Church of Knowledge now also has the ability to produce items needed by people of various professions, especially the iron equipment made by Maren. With its unique technical cost advantages, it has been selling very well during this period.

Hugo also brought a batch of weapons and equipment this time, but that was just a means to cover up his tracks.

"Put on refugee clothes, create a little disguise, and treat your luggage as goods we want to transport and sell."

"The carts are ready in advance!"

"As long as we don't get discovered before we get close to the border, the rest will be easy!"

……

That night.

A team of dozens of "refugees" quietly left the refugee camp under the cover of night.

On the way to the border, a team of this size was, as expected, inspected and interrogated several times by the Knights of the Church of the God of Light.

The Hunting Month is approaching, and the Church of the Glowing God is patrolling the territory of Ceylon to check for any hidden dangers of invasion by evil gods and heretics.

"Stop! Where are you from and what are you going to do?"

Hugo was not shy at all, and directly invited the other party to come closer for inspection:
"Sir, I am a merchant from Ceylon City, acting as an agent for the blacksmith shop, and I am going to sell some goods across the border."

The weapons and equipment on the first cart were shown covered with rags to conceal them.

"They are all refugees recruited temporarily. They are very cheap. As long as they are given a bowl of batter, they will work hard and help push the cart. Please feel free to check them."

As he spoke, Hugo calmly handed two silver coins to the leading knight.

The Knight of the Church of Light felt the weight of the coin in his hand.

not bad.

He sniffed the unique stench of the "refugees'" clothes, frowned and waved his hand:

"Let's go! We know the situation, so there's no need to check!"

He didn't want to get close to those lowly guys, for fear that the unpleasant smell of the refugees would spread to him.

Hugo agreed immediately and bowed in thanks with a smile:
"Hey, hey! Okay, okay, I'm sorry to trouble you all! Thank you for your hard work!"

……

There will be 3 more chapters tonight, please allow Guozi to consider the transition of the plot! The second volume is about to end, and the Hunting Moon is an important plot node connecting volumes 2 and 3. We need to consider how to write it more appropriately!
