A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"You've gained another interesting ability."

"I truly hope you can go further and further on the path of upholding the precepts, for the fate of upholding the precepts is accompanied by hardships."

“It is truly a sad thing that Kapras’s hopes have been dashed halfway.”

The card that suddenly appeared was essentially a remnant of some concepts.

Of course, this is just a remnant, a fragment of the concept, which is the source of the divine, and is something from a completely different dimension.

However, Marek had plenty of ways to use these things to enhance the fighting capabilities of these people.

You have to understand that no matter how bad it gets, a concept is still a concept.

Besides Bessie, the other four "ring-holders" that Marek mentioned have now collected quite a few of these cards.

By the way, it's not Marek's weird hobby to materialize this kind of thing as cards.

This is Jonathan's perverse sense of humor.

"Don't worry." Nalan clenched his fist, then sheathed the sword.

"I will not give up halfway."

"Absolutely not..." No one knew what Marek had shown Nalan that made him so convinced of his beliefs.

“That’s reassuring,” Marek said with a smile.

Although Marek lied countless times, the things he made these five people do were indeed all for Kapras's sake.

There are even quite a few things that could be described as going against the "alliance of the gods."

But why would he, as a member of the "Alliance of the Gods," do such a thing?

Nobody knows. After all, if Marek and Jonathan could be figured out, it wouldn't be such a headache.

Jonathan is pursuing unplanned chaos and anticipating the birth of the unexpected.

Marek is different; he plans everything out in advance because only in this way will the unexpected become more interesting, and the expected, delightful plot will unfold as planned.

"Then, the Angel's Ruins are officially complete." Marek clapped his hands a few times and then pulled out a gun.

"Bang!" The bullet shot towards the wall.

Then the sturdy wall was easily shattered, like cardboard.

It's not just penetrating, it's completely shattering.

A huge mouth appeared, and the last rays of the setting sun shone in from outside the mouth.

"Damn it, how long did that guy knock me unconscious?" At this moment, Bessie touched her head and painfully got up from the ground.

"You're finally up." Manjiao crossed his arms and glanced at Bessie.

“Then, I will now issue the next task to you.” Marek took a few steps and walked to the edge of the opening.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the clouds outside, which were dyed golden and purple.

"The wild god in the shadows of the south is stirring."

"Get rid of him."

“But this is your first time facing a demigod, please don’t lose your lives.” With that, Marek jumped directly down the opening.

The five ring-bearers exchanged glances and then followed Marek in jumping down from that spot.

“Marek… what on earth happened to this guy?” Bray frowned deeply.

The current Marek is completely incomprehensible.

And what did Marek say before... that he personally killed Xiaobai and Xiangxue beside him? Is that true?

Bray couldn't understand it more and more. If it were true, what reason would Marek have to kill the two men?

If it were him...would he kill Levy?

No, no, no, even resorting to violence is impossible, let alone anything more terrifying.

How could you bully such a hardworking and adorable girl like Levy?

As Bray thought about it, he couldn't help but touch Levy's hand, automatically ignoring Naruko.

However, recalling the past, his expression couldn't help but become more composed.

Would he kill those around him...?

However, a silly shout interrupted Bray's thoughts.

"Hey hey hey? They jumped down! It's so high up here!" Naruko, who had been ignored by Bray, said with some concern as she watched the group of people who jumped off the tower without warning.

"He shouldn't die, right?" After hearing Naruko's words, even the usually calm Bray became a little uncertain, so he took a few steps forward.

He looked down into the opening and found that the figures of the others had long since disappeared.

It's unclear whether they landed safely or died from the crash.

Marek probably wouldn't make such a basic mistake, but I'm afraid those five people might follow suit and do something stupid.

From the moment Marek appeared, Bray had no chance to interject.

After Marek finished speaking, he jumped down.

“Naruko, did you hear clearly what those people are going to do next?” Bray asked.

"Beg me, just beg me, and I'll tell you." Naruko puffed out her chest, looking smug.

It seems that Dead Fish Eyes was daydreaming just now and didn't listen to what others were saying at all.

"..." Bray remained silent, his right eye fixed on Naruko with a menacing look.

"Cough cough." Naruko believed that she could not submit to the tyranny of this dead fish-eyed man this time.

"Cough..." But after being stared at for a while, Naruko started to panic a little.

"..."

"I said it, okay?" Naruko pouted.

"It's Bian Nan, the place where your favorite rabbit lives."

"When did I become someone who likes rabbits?"

"I know it! You just love these little things that are in heat all year round!"

"..." Bray's face darkened.

It seems that Naruko was prepared for what was to come before she dared to say such a thing.

"Brave, Levy is hungry." But Levy's words made Brave abandon his idea of ​​violence against Naruko.

Levy is still here, we can't do this.

Besides, Levy was hungry.

"Then let's go down."

“I’m taking Lebby out for a nice meal today,” Bray said.

"Oh!!!" Levy excitedly raised her hands.

"What about me?" Naruko pointed to herself. Although Bian Nan and Bian west differ by a whole character, they are not actually that far apart.

After boarding the magic carriage in the west, it took Bray and the others a day to reach the south.

As for the angel's stone tower, there haven't been any major changes.

Although the monster at the top of the tower was defeated, the tower itself did not collapse.

The battle at the top of the tower went unnoticed by those below.

Even if they noticed it, they probably wouldn't know exactly what happened.

After all, virtually no adventurers have been able to break through to the top level.

Even if those magical creations are defeated, they will automatically revive after a period of time.

The combat power of each floor will be refreshed.

Therefore, trying to take advantage of the person in front of you is probably not feasible.

Regardless, the angel's stone tower remains a popular destination for adventurers.

Everyone wants to make a fortune here, because most people become adventurers for profit.

"Moo—" A cow bellowed as it slowly passed by in front of Bray.

Only after the cow had passed by could Bray and his companions continue on their way.

Biannan, this city, has a lot in common with Bianxi.

That is, animal husbandry is particularly developed.

Of course, a thriving livestock industry doesn't mean that cattle can roam freely on the streets.

"..." But Bray didn't care about these details.

Right now, he only wants to do one thing.

After the bull that had blocked his way left, Bray strode into the shop ahead.

"Help me appraise them." Bray dumped a basketful of artifacts he had collected from the Angelic Stone Tower onto the table.

The middle-aged man, who was calmly reading the newspaper, was so startled that his monocle fell off.

"Wait a minute, what are all these?"

“…” Bray began to organize his thoughts.

"Have you heard of the stone tower in Bianxi?" By the time Brei could speak, it was too late, so Naruko leaned against the table in front of her and settled into a comfortable position to talk to the old man.

"You mean, all these things came from that stone tower?" Upon hearing this, the uncle's eyes lit up.

Anyone working in the relevant industry knows that a large number of historical artifacts have recently been unearthed from the stone pagoda.

There are still adventurers who can bring things out now, but it's estimated that after a while, the Cloud Capital Kingdom will send people to take over that stone tower.

Therefore, the cultural relics that come out of there now are all rare items.

"Come, come, please sit down." The uncle immediately put on a professional smile and pulled out a chair for Naruto.

"?" A question mark appeared above Bray's head.

They were the ones who poured these things out, so why was Naruko treated like an honored guest?

"However, many things are quite badly damaged," the uncle said to Naruko after taking out a magnifying glass to examine them.

"Hey, how come I didn't notice?"

"Because these are things that can only be seen with a magnifying glass."

"Then take the magnifying glass away."

For a moment, the middle-aged man actually felt that what Naruko said made a lot of sense.

"Sir, you should know that even the slightest damage to such a precious item will result in a loss of value," the uncle said with a wry smile.

“Emmmmmmmm” Naruko touched her beardless chin and fell into thought.

Of course, her mind was actually blank; she was just pretending to be thinking.

"So what's the situation now?" Bray couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe." The uncle let out a laugh, looking just like a shrewd businessman.

These guys look just like normal adventurers; they have no idea what's going on.

You can only make a profit from such adventurers.

In reality, most adventurers are the same; it would be puzzling if everyone understood this profession.

It happens frequently that good things are bought at low prices by these kinds of merchants.

“This statue is the most valuable,” the uncle said, pointing to the crimson angel statue.

The statue is still being embraced by the sleeping fireball.

"The other books and props also have value, but to be honest, in terms of historical and artistic value, this statue is the most important."
