Don't call me evil god

Chapter 223 Ten Times a Day

The rumor that came from nowhere spread very quickly among the adventurers.

Has someone opened up a civilized territory in the dark forest?
Near Misty Valley?

Many people in the pub were discussing this matter.

Without him.

No one dares to believe it!
Crossing the border to open up territories was something that some nobles of the Reyak Kingdom or well-known mercenary groups had done in the past.

At that time, their movements were all very high-profile. They brought hundreds of people and a large amount of various survival supplies. They also specially hired construction craftsmen to go with them to open up new territories and build city walls.

When we set out, the grand scene was very admirable and inspiring;
Unable to withstand the red tide of monsters, they fled back in disgrace with the remaining survivors, looking very embarrassed.

The current record for the development of new territories in the Dark Forest has only lasted for more than half a year.

After the demon red tide in late winter and early spring ended, he set out with the team;

Unable to survive the cold winter, before the arrival of the new year's red tide of monsters, they abandoned everything they had built in the territory and ran back to seek refuge.

Not to mention the rumors that spread this time.

No one had heard of anyone trying to open up new territories before.

How come a civilized territory that has been almost completely developed suddenly appeared?

According to rumors, the construction of the territory this time is very complete. Not only can it provide a stable supply of food and water, but there are also hostels for overnight accommodation, and it can even maintain weapons, sell equipment, and purchase monster materials?

Want to meet these requirements at the same time?

Even border defense lines like Ceylon Line 3 can’t do that!

The adventurers analyzed it thoroughly.

"Are you bragging?"

"Could it be that they brought a few people, set up a shabby shed, cooked wild vegetables for food, and dared to claim to have expanded their territory?"

"Probably!"

"What kind of secret code is this? We're getting free food. What can we eat in the Dark Forest? We might end up eating contaminated monster meat!"

The adventurers in the tavern discussed and reached a consensus:
Probably some unreliable gossip!
"How could anyone develop such a perfect territory in a place like the Dark Forest?"

An adventurer who was a little drunk from the low-quality beer even said drunkenly:
"If this news is true, I will fuck every monster in the Dark Forest!"

"No! I can do it ten times!"

The pub suddenly erupted in laughter.

Among the adventurers who gather in this tavern, 10 out of 9 are warriors.

The quality of warriors is generally not that high, and most of them are promoted from the descendants of civilians.

After all, compared with several other noble "divine professions", the warrior's career path, which relies on tapping into one's own anger to gain strength, actually has a much lower threshold.

Mages and priests have no hope if they don't have the power blessed by God.

There is no chance to rewrite fate.

The requirement for a warrior to control his rage is at least something like the "Heart of Rage Potion", which can lower the threshold to a certain extent.

A bunch of vulgar warriors gathered together, naturally they couldn't come up with anything good.

The topic quickly turned back to the recent hot hunting month.

They began to discuss the "noble descendants" who were about to participate in the Hunting Month.

"It seems that there are quite a few noble young masters and young ladies participating in the Hunting Month this year?" "Yes, I heard that there are six young masters in Ceylon City alone who have announced their intention to participate!"

"Have these young masters really been to the Dark Forest? They wouldn't be scared to the point of peeing their pants when they saw the monsters!"

"Hey! What do you know? Some of the descendants of noble lords are quite powerful. I heard that the third son of a viscount in Ceylon City successfully eliminated a level 2 monster in the Dark Forest last year. I heard that his goal this year is to eliminate a level 3 monster and get a title!"

During the Hunting Month, many feudal nobles and descendants of manor nobles from Ceylon Territory will also come to participate.

The reason they participated was different from those adventurers who came here to hunt monsters in exchange for the king's reward.

The results of the noble descendants' hunting of monsters will be related to their noble inheritance rights.

Every year at the end of the hunting month, the Countess of Ceylon would count the achievements of the noble descendants who participated in the hunting activities.

Those who perform well will receive a letter of recommendation signed by the Countess herself.

As long as you meet the requirements of a Level 3 professional and have a letter of recommendation, it is almost certain that you will be canonized by the king.

Therefore, at this time of year every year, many noble descendants who have reached level 3, and even level 1 and 2, would actively come forward to destroy monsters in order to leave a good impression on Countess Ceylon.

A drunk adventurer asked curiously:
"By the way, have you heard a piece of gossip?"

"It seems that this year, Countess Ceylon's only daughter, Nicole Ceylon, has officially become a Tier 3 Mage. It seems that she will also participate in this Hunting Month!"

Someone immediately denied it:

"Impossible! Fake news!"

Another adventurer retorted:
"Who said it was fake news? I've heard about this too!"

The Countess of Ceylon is a household name here, and her legendary life experience is almost a model and example for adventurers.

She was born a commoner, and was blessed by the goddess of magic to become a first-level wizard. She made a name for herself through adventures with her dwarf friends, and eventually was awarded the title of earl by the king with her status as a fifth-level wizard. She married her childhood sweetheart and soon gave birth to a daughter.

Daughter Nicole Ceylan not only inherited her mother's beauty, but also had an incredibly high talent for magic.

Nicole has just turned 14 this year and has reached the rating of a tier-3 mage. Rumor has it that Nicole will likely surpass her mother in the future and become one of the few female tier-6 mage on the continent.

"How could the Countess be willing to let her daughter take risks in the Dark Forest?"

"Why would you be reluctant? The Countess was born an adventurer, right? It would be normal for her daughter to have some experience as well!"

"Don't be ridiculous. The Countess and her husband only have one daughter in 15 years. They are not like those noble men who are super fertile like pigs. What if something happens to Miss Nicole?"

The adventurers soon began to argue.

The Hunting Month will officially begin in a few days, and who will participate has not yet been decided. Similar topics are always discussed endlessly in the tavern, and all kinds of rumors and gossip are flying around.

Just when the atmosphere in the pub was getting very heated.

A thin young adventurer pushed open the door of the tavern.

The brand new one-handed sword and the iron shield that looked well-made on his back attracted the attention of other adventurers in the tavern.

Someone who knows me asked:
"Sam! Are you rich? This weapon, wow! It doesn't look cheap!"

The young adventurer named Sam was immediately excited when he heard this:
"How did you know? I bought this set of weapons and shield in the new territory outside Misty Valley. It only cost me more than 40 silver coins!"

The tavern fell silent in an instant.

The man who had previously threatened to have sex ten times sobered up on the spot and his face turned pale.
