Don't call me evil god

Chapter 253 Please proceed in the direction shown in the picture
Petunia nodded hurriedly: "You're just kidding. You can ask around in Ceylon. I, Petunia, always keep my word and never go back on my word!"

After all, it was still a bit scary for him to step into the dark forest alone.

After all, he had never been there before and had no idea what was inside. All his knowledge of the Dark Forest came from the descriptions of his older brothers and sisters.

When he was a child, his brother once scared him, saying that there was a giant spider monster three stories high in the dark forest that could bite a person in half with just one bite.

At that time, Pet Twain's brother deliberately described to little Pet Twain, who was hiding in the quilt, the horrific scene when the spider monster bit people to death, including screams, blood, organs, minced meat, broken bones and so on.

This left a great psychological shadow on Pete Twain at that time.

So even though he kept pretending that there was nothing to be afraid of about those little monsters.

In fact, I was still a little nervous.

The weapons and equipment on his body were not enough to give Petunia a sense of security.

Only then did he propose to entrust Connie to take him there.

The armor that Petwin was wearing and the weapon in his hand were all ordered by him from a shop called "Dwarf Craftsmanship" in Ceylon City, and they had just been delivered to him not long ago.

He fell in love with this store at first sight because the name sounded very reliable!

Dwarven craftsmanship!

The quality of equipment made by dwarves is definitely well-known throughout the continent.

Doesn't this sound much better than those shops like "Dalwi Blacksmith Shop", "Morgan Hammer", "Fire Craft" and so on?

Petwin heard from the shop owner that the equipment he ordered would be made by the dwarf forging master Maren himself.

Perfectly suited to his personal needs.

Guaranteed to be unique, the only one of its kind in the world.

This introduction was exactly what Pete Twain liked.

He wants uniqueness!
What I want is that only I can have it and no one else can!

Some of his brothers saved money or earned money on their own to buy dwarven-forged armor, but they were all standard products without any special features.

He admired Twain and wanted to be different from his brothers and sisters, so he must have his own characteristics.

The long sword now held in his hand had a cold glow on the blade, and a sparkling, translucent purple gem was specially inlaid near the end of the sword. The mahogany hilt was gorgeously carved with beautiful patterns.

It’s obvious at first glance that it’s different from the stuff mass-produced by the dwarves!
The dagger on Connie's back looked very plain, with almost no decorations or patterns on it.

Just holding such a weapon, Petunia felt a sense of superiority rising naturally.

……

Passing through the border defense line and stepping into the dark forest, breathing the slightly polluted air, Petunia let out a sigh in surprise.

This caused Connie to look back at him in confusion.

Petunia said with a smug look on her face: "Huh? This dark forest seems to be nothing more than this... I thought it was so scary!"

He heard from his brother and sister that after crossing [Past Glory], they would constantly face the pollution and invasion of the evil spirit. As soon as they left the border of the kingdom, they would clearly feel as if they were carrying a heavy burden, breathing would become more labored, and their spirit would gradually become drowsy.

But Twain's physical sensation at this moment was quite different.

Talk about burden?

A little bit indeed.

As for the difficulty in breathing and dizziness.

I don’t feel it!
The impact on the environment is certainly not comparable to that of a civilized and prosperous city like Ceylon, but it is only slightly more uncomfortable than a border camp, and it is not at all to the extent described by my brothers and sisters!

Pete Twain quickly thought of a reason:
"It must be because—I'm a genius!"

"My brothers and sisters are too weak, which is why they are seriously affected by the pollution of the so-called evil god."

"For someone like me who truly inherited the bloodline of the Tostin family, it's just a minor contamination that I can easily resist!"

"Of course geniuses are different from ordinary people!"

Unfortunately.

Connie's smiling words quickly shattered Pete Twain's "fantasy".

"It should be the emergence of the new territories in the Dark Forest. The civilized and orderly environment has begun to prevail in this area, and the pollution of the evil god has also begun to weaken." "The environment here is much better than before. It feels almost the same as Ceylon Territory!"

"I just don't know what the specific situation is like in Xiwei Territory."

Petunia's mouth twitched.

So happy!

He thought he was gifted and different from others.

It turns out that this was another incident caused by the territory of that mysterious heretical church.

"What do we do next? I paid you to do this, my friend, you have to lead the way!" Petunia reminded.

Hearing this, Connie burst out laughing again.

Pointing to a thick and big tree in the dark forest not far away, he said happily:

"Of course, of course, it's impossible to get lost. After all, the road signs are so obvious, only a fool would get lost."

"What the hell...a road sign?!"

Pete Twain was stunned.

Look in the direction Connie pointed.

In the soil under the big tree, there was a sign painted in conspicuous white, about 2 meters high:
"This place is about 20 kilometers away from Xiweiling."

"Please go northeast, as shown in the picture!"

"Compass Icon:"

Petunia turned back and looked in disbelief:

The border checkpoint is right behind him, no more than 200 meters away!
This is the territory of a heretical church that was banned from entering the Kingdom of Reyak due to doctrinal conflicts and was ordered to be expelled by the Church of the Light.

Are you still a heretic?

Are you all so arrogant to this extent?

Road signs are inserted directly at the border?
Why don’t you be more arrogant and just put up road signs at the border camp?

……

The next moment, Petunia reacted.

Oh no, it seems his commission fee was wasted!
This route from Ceylon Line 3 to Siweiling has obviously been traveled by many people. Not only are there clearly marked road signs, but there is even a trail in the forest that has been blazed by predecessors.

Moreover, about 500 meters along the trail, Petun saw a second signpost.

It was also planted next to a thick tree, and was also conspicuously white.

"This place is about 19.5 kilometers away from Xiweiling."

"..."

Continue forward and you will soon see the third and fourth road signs.

Petunia was numb.

It was just as Connie said.

At least in this dark forest area outside the Ceylon No. 3 defense line, even an ordinary person without any weapons can follow the signs and reach the Western Territory smoothly.

It seems like monsters have disappeared from this area!
The biggest difficulty on the road is that it is easy to trip over dead branches and leaves, or be scratched by thorny vines when trekking in the forest.

He didn't actually need to ask Connie to lead the way!
With the guidance of these road signs, anyone who is not a fool can reach Xiweiling.

No wonder there are no adventurers or mercenaries staying in the border camp.

With the emergence of "Xiwei Territory", the scope of civilization's territory has begun to advance from the [Past Glory] defense line to the deeper parts of the Dark Forest!
