This adventurer is overly righteous.

Facing multiple enemies at the same time is extremely dangerous. Attacks from multiple directions are difficult to defend against. In theory, as long as the cooperation is good enough, the weak can defeat the strong by joining forces.

Based on adventurers' experience, three experienced adventurers working together can hold their own against one elite adventurer, while four can be considered evenly matched, or even have the upper hand.

However, there was one guy who defied common sense and struck fear into the hearts of all the adventurer teams in Whitestone Town—the White Devil, Kroya.

To single-handedly take on a temporary adventurer team of fifteen is practically impossible. Even a hero-level adventurer would have to consider their own strength before facing such a team and wouldn't choose to confront them head-on...

What's even more unsettling is that none of the fifteen adventurers, including fourteen veterans and one elite, managed to escape from their opponent.

Combat is not as simple as gladiators fighting beasts in the arena. Adventurers will set traps, cooperate with each other, and also choose to run away if their opponent's strength exceeds their expectations.

After all, it was a team that was temporarily formed, so they naturally had no loyalty. When there were casualties in the team, they inevitably wavered. If Kroya could kill four or five of the adventurers without showing any signs of fatigue, then these adventurers would probably lose all fighting spirit and retreat on their own. They would run in different directions and hide themselves in the wilderness. That way, at least a few of them could escape.

But the truth is they all died; not one of them escaped.

Kroya chased after them like a demon, killing the fleeing adventurers one by one, and then painstakingly dumping their corpses into the goblin's lair...

This is the most widely circulated version among adventurer groups, leading most adventurers to believe that beneath Kroya's white exterior lies an extremely bloodthirsty and vengeful heart.

Upon realizing that it was Kroya who had placed his hand on his shoulder, the adventurer shuddered violently as if electrocuted, revealing an embarrassed smile filled with terror.

"certainly......"

"You're absolutely right."

A tremendous force surged through Kroya's hand, almost pinning him to the ground like a hammer. His companions, sensing the danger, exchanged glances, abandoned him, and fled the Adventurers' Guild.

Disloyal!

"Are you trying to fool people?"

Kroya didn't show much emotion on his face, but looking at the adventurer made him feel uneasy and his legs felt weak. Then Kroya spoke loudly, his voice carrying to every corner of the Adventurers' Guild.

"You want to lure him into your team, then sabotage him during the mission and steal his loot, right?"

It was the peak time for the Adventurers' Guild, and there were quite a few adventurers inside, including a significant number of newcomers like Perez. However, since they didn't have any valuables to be gained, no one would try to trick them with such methods.

Croya spoke loudly, in a way that was also a reminder to these people.

"Of course not, I really wanted to give him some pointers. Seeing him reminded me of my younger brother..." the adventurer hurriedly said. In any case, he couldn't admit what Kroya had said.

Whether he admits it or not doesn't matter anymore. Kroya repeated what he had just said. Everyone in the Adventurers' Guild understood what he meant and saw the adventurer's embarrassed appearance. In any case, it would be almost impossible for him to deceive anyone in the future. The gossipy adventurers would naturally use this embarrassing incident as gossip, and it wouldn't be long before everyone knew about it. He and his team would be disgraced.

As a result, novice adventurers will become more vigilant and less likely to be deceived.

.......

You stopped a scam, and that deserves praise.

You alerted others, preventing them from being scammed; this behavior deserves praise.

Kroya glanced briefly at the small print that had suddenly appeared beside his gaze, then sat down opposite Perez. The conman adventurer had just fled, clutching his shoulder, his face extremely pale.

"When did you arrive in Whitestone Town?" Croa had been separated from Perez for over a month, and seeing him now felt like a dream.

He was now wearing the armor he had taken from those veteran adventurers. Although he still looked quite naive and lacked the ruthless aura of an adventurer, he was much more mature than before.

"After my father's funeral, I had to deal with some family matters. Some relatives were coming, and I also had to sort out my father's estate. It took me a lot of time to handle these things. I sold them to relatives and my father's former friends, since I don't plan to go back..."

"When I came here, I was looking for you, but the receptionist told me that you had gone out on a mission and hadn't returned yet. However, one of your friends helped me a lot."

Perez was quite excited to see Croya, as this was the second time Croya had helped him, and he seemed even more powerful and famous than before. The adventurers had been scared away as soon as they saw Mr. Croya.

"I guess his name is Carter."

"Yes, it is indeed Senior Carter." Perez scratched his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I'm here waiting for Senior Carter. He will help me complete the newcomer's task."

It's probably similar to when Carter helped Croa.

"What quest did you accept?" Chroya asked. He was quite concerned about this junior, especially since the boy seemed to be of good character and had helped him before. Chroya didn't want to see him fall into the same corrupt ways as other adventurers. "When you went to check, were there any quests still available within the Whitestone Town area?"

Kroya couldn't go out to complete missions, but he wasn't idle during this time. In fact, the Adventurers' Guild sometimes issued missions from the townspeople of Whitestone Town, which could be easily completed without having to travel far and wide. However, these missions were few in number and highly competitive, making them difficult to obtain.

"That's all. When the receptionist read the mission list to me, I accepted the last mission within the White Rock Town area." Perez was illiterate and needed someone to read the mission details to him.

"Mr. Croya, I can give you this task; it's to go into the sewers..."

"No, thank you." Croa shook his head and refused, but he appreciated Perez's kindness, so he pretended to be hesitant and said, "I hate bad smells, so I'll pass."

Kroya wasn't actually short of money, so he wasn't in a hurry to not get any missions. He already had a full ten gold coins in savings. The Steel Swamp Dragon's corpse was sold by Lejin, earning him a full fourteen gold coins. Four of them went to Lejin, and the rest were split equally between him and Logan.

This money is enough for him to live on for a long time, and with his current forging skills, he can also earn some extra money.

He wanted to do more good deeds, and whether it was lucky or unlucky, recently there had been more and more opportunities for Kroya to do good deeds in White Rock Town.

With winter approaching, Whitestone Town is becoming more chaotic than ever before.
