Chapter 160: Tiga Joins the Team!

Louis was somewhat surprised by Dina's answer.

Even though the heroes are all dead, the kingdom's higher-ups are still suppressing the heroes' teammates.

That's an incredibly tight defense!

Seeing Louis's surprised expression, Nora continued, "Ultimately, it's because Molly the Hero fell too early, and none of the teacher and his former teammates successfully reached level four."

"If there were even one Level 4 professional, they wouldn't be like dough, completely at the mercy of others."

"I don't know if you've heard of a story, but there was once a hero who died young, and his body was buried with the help of his teammates. One of his teammates was a level four professional."

"This level four professional has been guarding the tomb of the hero for nearly a hundred years, and no one has dared to touch the tomb or make things difficult for his other teammates."

"But as soon as this Level 4 professional died, many powerful individuals, like hyenas, immediately opened the coffin and devoured the hero's remains. Even though the Level 4 professional secretly set up a false tomb, it did not escape the notice of those hyenas."

Nora's story deeply moved Louis and the others.

Her story reveals two pieces of information.

Firstly, Level 4 professionals have the strength to contend with the kingdom's high-ranking officials and the powerful figures of various professional associations.

Secondly, even a level four professional can only protect their companions while they are alive; once someone dies, they are powerless to do so.

Louis thought of Erihil.

If this resolute and noble warrior were to perish unexpectedly, his remains would certainly not be able to be properly buried.

This made Louis feel somewhat saddened by the passing of his accomplice.

Seemingly noticing Louis's low spirits, Nora said softly, "There's no point in thinking about this now."

"Louis, I sincerely hope that you can become a strong person who controls your own destiny. If a level four professional cannot avoid being exhumed and mutilated after death, then go and become a demigod."

"I heard from my teacher that human demigods live for more than three hundred years, and with the help of special secret techniques, they can even live for more than a thousand years, which is longer than the history of some kingdoms."

"Even if a demigod falls from grace, their soul will not perish and they can still control their own destiny."

Louis nodded and smiled, "For now, I'll try my best to become a level three professional."

Becoming a demigod is a distant prospect for him.

However, it's not entirely hopeless. After all, compared to ordinary heroes, he has an extra advantage, so his success rate is always higher.

Upon arriving home, the group told Colin about their plans to travel to the Kingdom of Forrest.

The old man was very happy about this and packed all his luggage that very day.

However, Nora didn't let him off the hook. She dragged Colin along and worked hard to modify the corpse of the level-three demon Gideon, hoping to master this valuable combat power as soon as possible.

As for how a level two necromancer like her could control a level three demon corpse?

The answer lies with the three level-two witches.

These three witch demons have been modified. Combined, their combat power is not only considerable, but they also possess one of their former abilities.

Intermediate-level Demon Realm Manipulation Technique!

If three witches use this skill simultaneously, they can control the movements of Molly's remains.

Now that they are dead, under Nora's control, they cannot fully exert the power they had before birth, but Gideon is not Molly.

It's always much easier for demons to control other demons.

Nora's own magic power is insufficient? Then insert magic crystals into Gideon's body as batteries to reduce consumption.

In short, by using witches as a medium, Nora officially gained the possibility of mastering the combat power of a level three professional.

It is said that heroes can challenge those of higher levels, but the same is true for necromancers.

All you need are high-quality corpses.

Although it has been upgraded, the shield's strength for him is only equivalent to upgrading from cardboard to a wooden board.

Unfortunately, if the material were any better, it wouldn't suit his current status.

The news of the hero's departure from Blackrock City spread throughout the city's streets and alleys, and many people spontaneously came to see him off.

Even though Louis stayed at home and didn't go out, he still received the news.

Louis's team, which had been ready to set off for some time, also began to move.

However, in order to avoid getting separated from Erisil and the others, Louis's team was in no hurry to leave the city. Instead, they made a special trip to the city before leaving.

Greet your acquaintances and friends.

Adventurers' Guild.

"Louis, are you going to the Kingdom of Forrest?"

Looking at Louis's party, now dressed in their new gear and looking dashing, Liv, the guild's receptionist, sincerely said, "I wish you a safe journey, and may your adventurous spirit never fade."

As she spoke, she wrote a letter on the spot and handed it to Louis: "I have a friend in the city of Golin in the Kingdom of Forrest. She was a guild receptionist who trained with me. If you go to Golin, it will be easier to find her."

Louis was taken aback at first, then smiled and accepted the letter of recommendation.

Milissa's Magic Bread Workshop.

Milissa, a former member of the Silver Hunter Squad who ran a successful bakery, prepared a large bag of freshly baked bread and pastries for them to take on their journey after hearing that they were about to embark on a long trip.

This bag of bread wasn't actually worth much, but Louis felt very comfortable receiving his friend's concern.

After that, they went to the Professionals Association and had the association members write several letters of recommendation.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Forrest, they would inevitably have to deal with the country's professional associations, and having a letter of recommendation would help them integrate more quickly.

In the Warriors' Guild hall, Louis also ran into André.

This guy showed his courage during the demonic tide, earning many battle merits and honing his main attribute to the point where he could become a warrior.

However, he was seriously injured in the war and has only recently recovered. He is currently preparing to change jobs.

They've finally made it through the tough times.

After meeting these acquaintances, Louis's team, along with Colin, officially set off for the Kingdom of Forrest.

Actually, leaving Blackrock City had another advantage: he no longer had to bear the pressure from Orianna. The fact that this woman wouldn't leave was putting a lot of psychological pressure on Louis.

If possible, Louis actually wanted to go to the capital and sell all of Griffin's weapons and equipment.

Unfortunately, the capital is too far away, and it would be quite troublesome to travel back and forth, so we had to give up on the idea for the time being.

South Gate.

Most of the crowd that had come to see off the brave team had already dispersed, but the place was still bustling with activity.

Louis's team blended into the crowd, preparing to leave without alerting anyone.

But just as they were about to enter the city gate, they saw a conspicuous figure at the city gate.

She was a beastman girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of fluffy white tiger ears and a wild aura.

She stood there calmly, carrying a backpack and wearing a cloak made from a single piece of black panther fur, as if waiting for someone.

It was Tiga, the young chieftain of the Frostclaw tribe.

Noticing Louis's gaze, the orc girl immediately turned her eyes to him and walked over.

Louis glanced at the black panther skin cloak, and a leopard head with its skull peeled off was hanging on Tiga's shoulder, looking majestic.

This cloak is clearly made from the hide of a Morgon, reflecting the wild nature of orc tribes.

Louis turned his gaze away and looked at Tiga, saying softly, "Welcome to the sewer squad."

Tiga was waiting here specifically for this purpose; her meaning was already quite clear, and there was no need to ask any further questions.

The orc girl smiled, but then her smile faltered as if she realized something: "What did you say our team's name is?"
