Don't call me evil god

Chapter 252 The Foolish Son of a Noble Family

Pete Twain became interested.

Territory, town and camp are two completely different things.

The former means that the lord has a high degree of governance power. Just like the Territory of Ceylon, in addition to the kingdom's code and various bills issued by the king, the countess can also issue regulations that are effective within the Territory of Ceylon.

"Where is Xiweiling?"

The small adventurer pointed to the northeast of the Dark Forest.

"I heard from someone that after leaving the border defense line, if you walk in that direction for about two hours, you will see a small river with no name. Then if you continue eastward along the river, you will see the city wall of Xiwei Territory in one day at the fastest and two days at the slowest."

Petunia seemed a little hesitant, with her brows furrowed:
"Walk through? Through the forest?"

The adventurer shrugged and asked, "What else? Are you still expecting to hire a carriage to take you in?"

"There are no well-opened roads in the Dark Forest. It's hard to get in on horseback, let alone a carriage. We can only walk."

Petunia's heart sank immediately.

You have to go into the dark forest alone for at least 1 day!
If he had to go to that Xiwei Territory to find adventurers and mercenaries for hire, then his plan would have gone terribly wrong.

What if something unexpected happens in the forest?
Seeing that the other party was about to leave the border camp, Petunia hurriedly called out:

"Friend! Friend! Wait! What should I call you?"

"My name is...Connie."

"Okay, Connie, can I entrust you..." Petuniah said hesitantly, "You are planning to go to Xiwei Territory, right? Can you help me find a few suitable mercenaries there and ask them to come back to the camp? I want to hire them to help me."

Pete Twain didn't have the nerve to say directly that he was afraid.

He also emphasized his excuse:

"It's not that I don't dare to go into the Dark Forest to look for it myself. The main thing is that I need to wait for someone here, you know."

"Some of my friends are not ready yet, so I have to wait for them. Otherwise, they won't be able to see me when they come over, which could lead to misunderstandings."

The adventurer named Connie glanced at Petra, with a half-smile in his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Whose noble's child are you?"

"Are you planning to hire mercenaries to help you capture some monsters so that you can kill them yourself and use them as your trophies?"

"the first time?"

Petunia's face turned red rapidly.

His thoughts were exposed by the other party.

"Who... who said it was my first time? I just haven't been to this border camp before! I don't know the situation around here!"

Trying to be tough.

Connie sneered mercilessly, "I heard that the other descendants of noble families who came here to participate in the Hunting Moon this year have entered the Dark Forest on their own."

"After the development of Xiwei Territory, the number of monsters near the border has decreased a lot. Now even ordinary people should be able to reach Xiwei Territory smoothly if they muster up the courage."

"Even if we want to destroy the monsters, we have to look for them in Xiwei Territory, or even explore deeper into the forest. We can't expect to practice next to [Past Glory] like we did in the past!"

"You don't dare to go, do you?"

Petunia suddenly became anxious.

The young man was unwilling to accept the defeat, especially when he was mocked in a teasing tone by Connie, who was less than 1 meters tall.

"Who said I dare not!"

"Ordinary people can get through it, so I think it will be easy and simple..."

"…It doesn't matter even if that's the territory of the heretical church?"

Before he could finish his words, Connie interrupted him with a smile.

Petunia was stunned, her voice rising three degrees: "Heresy?!"

"No, you dare to go to the territory of the heretical church?"

Pete Twain now wondered whether the world was mad or he was mad.

Connie smiled and said, "So what if they are heretics? Their territories were developed outside the kingdom. They don't violate any laws, do they?" "As long as they don't take the initiative to enter the Kingdom of Reyak, it won't be illegal even if the King's Army and the Cult of the Light go to their territories!"

"Look at how many royal troops are there in this place now?"

Petunia was stunned.

The border camp is not very big and it only takes about ten minutes to walk around.

When he ran to the border checkpoint of "Past Glory" and took a look, Petunia was shocked.

"Where are the King's troops?"

There were indeed people left at the checkpoint, but there were only five or six soldiers on duty to maintain immigration inspection for those returning to the kingdom, two lazy priests of the Church of the Light, and two clerks in charge of registering the spoils of Hunting Moon.

Although there is no red tide of monsters at the moment and the King's Army has not officially assembled, the garrison here will not be too large, and under normal circumstances, only a few dozen soldiers will be left behind.

But now there are not even dozens left!
Only the minimum staff left is needed to maintain the operation of border checkpoints.

The camp arranged on the border defense line for other king’s troops to rest was completely empty!
"Could they... also go to Xiwei Territory?" Petunia was incredulous.

It is understandable that adventurers and mercenaries would go to Petunia, after all, these people's main job is to hunt monsters.

But what were the King’s troops going to do there?

"It's very simple."

"The conditions here are poor, the environment is terrible, and the food and accommodation are miserable."

"Not many people are willing to stay here now. At most, they stay here for a short transit."

"The same goes for the King's Army."

"They only come back when they need to be on duty."

"My duty time is over, so of course I'll leave!"

Pete Twain didn't understand and was greatly shocked.

What kind of existence is that Xiweiling that suddenly appeared?

Heretical Church.

As a result, people from the kingdom, and even the king's army, turned a blind eye to heresy and rushed over?

How attractive is that over there!
Petunia gritted her teeth.

So many people went there, especially the King's Army, which means that there must be some irresistible temptation in Xiwei Territory.

Since everyone can go, he dares to go too!
Trying hard to keep up with Connie's pace, Petwin made an excuse: "Ahem... Ahem... Connie, I want to entrust you with something. I'm not familiar with the environment around here, so I'll hire you temporarily. I need you to show me the way and take me to the West Wei Territory."

"I would like to state in advance that I am not afraid, nor am I afraid to go alone."

"The main reason is that I'm not familiar with the environment and don't know the way, so I need someone who knows the route to lead me, so as to prevent me from getting lost in the dark forest!"

"You must know how dangerous it is to get lost in the Dark Forest."

Petuniah spoke a lot, and finally thought for a moment and made a price:

"10 silver coins, that's reasonable, right?"

"Just lead the way, I'll follow you!"

"As long as you agree, I will give you a 20% deposit now."

Connie suddenly laughed.

He whispered something:
"The aristocracy's stupidity..."

Pete Twain didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Connie smiled and said, "No big deal. Deal, but don't regret it."
