Chapter 222 Rumors
Pet agreed with Miranda's statement.
"If you become a lord, you will be responsible for testing new believers for the Lord."
"As the scale of the Church of Knowledge expands, we must do a good job of screening!"
"Those who are sneaky, or want to rely on the Lord's blessing to dominate others, or even use the blessing to do bad things, we must not recommend them!"
"The great doctrine of the God of Knowledge encourages us to explore the unknown and solve difficulties with our own efforts, rather than letting us use His blessing to bully others!"
"The Lord has given us such an important responsibility, so we must do our best!"
"..."
At this stage, there are only three believers who meet the conditions for applying for the Lord election, that is, the [Regional Reputation] has reached the standard.
Pete Chinar;
Miranda Warren;
Hugo Sivi.
The three people get regional reputation in almost completely different ways.
Pete relies on bringing new people. Whenever a new believer encounters trouble, he will find a way to help solve it, and he will organize a free team to hunt monsters at any time.
It can be said that the believers in Misty Valley have reached a consensus to a certain extent.
If you have difficulties or things you don't understand, go to Mr. Pete Chinal, he will definitely help you enthusiastically.
Miranda relies on her selflessness.
She is really serious about following the teachings of the God of Radiance and the God of Knowledge, helping others without asking for anything in return.
Especially in terms of treatment, new believers are all refugees, and they will inevitably have some diseases or old injuries. Miranda will take the initiative to provide them with treatment.
As for the goblin Hugo, he is simply smart enough. Not only has he recruited a large number of new believers, but he has also opened up a trade route for reselling equipment, which has made a great contribution to the development and construction of the territory!
The believers have now discovered the pattern.
[Regional Reputation] actually corresponds to the "reputation" of that believer.
The greater the good reputation, the higher the [Regional Reputation] will be.
...
After consideration, all three of them applied for the status of lord!
It just corresponds to the 3 places released by Norman.
Pete chose the territory closer to the Dark Crypt, Miranda was near the entrance of the Misty Valley, and Hugo was naturally the one closest to the Kingdom of Reyak.
The three stalkers who failed in the assassination and were caught were also arranged!
Hugo issued a commission to the three assassins who assassinated him.
"Go to the border defense line, or near Ceylon City, in short, within the territory of Ceylon, and spread the news."
"A new territory has been opened up near the Misty Valley."
"Any adventurer active in the Dark Forest can come here to replenish food, drinking water, various adventure supplies, weapons, equipment, purchase monster materials, and provide temporary shelter!"
"When spreading the news, leave a secret code for the adventurers: Seeking the way, tell them that anyone who comes to the new territory near the Misty Valley can get a free food, limited to 100, while they are all gone."
"Deposit 50 silver coins, if 100 people come and report the secret code, you can come to me to receive the subsequent 2.5 gold reward."
The elusive nature of the stalkers is just right for spreading this kind of gossip.
The adventurers communicate closely with each other.
Hugo believes that as long as the news is passed on, someone comes and finds that the situation is true, the "gossip" will soon spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and spread rapidly.
There is no problem in legal terms!
The heretic expulsion order issued by the Glowing God Church is to prevent the believers of the Church of Knowledge from entering the territory of the Kingdom of Reyak.
The territory in the Dark Forest certainly does not fall into this category!
Moreover, the blacksmith business that Maren has created no longer needs to transport equipment to the border secretly, and has to face the situation of "malicious competition" with the equipment merchants in Ceylon.
Just open a store in the territory of the Church of Knowledge and wait for adventurers to come and buy!
If you are not convinced, come and smash the store if you have the guts?
Moreover, Hugo is quite vindictive.
Now that he is restricted by conditions, he can't go directly to Ceylon City to seek revenge on those equipment merchants, but it doesn't mean that this matter is over!
He has remembered the revenge for the assassination.
...
The three stalker killers learned that they didn't have to die, and they had new employers, so they finally put down their hanging hearts.
They expressed their gratitude with tears and gratitude.
"Please rest assured!"
"We promise to do it!"
"Thank you for not killing me. It's too far to talk about money. We are willing to help for free to make up for the previous assassination misunderstanding!"
When the assassination failed and they were caught, they were so nervous.
Because most of the time, if the assassination fails, even if the employer is sold out, it may not be possible to save their lives.
The same thing.
The first-hand advantage of the assassination and sneak attack of the stealth is too huge.
There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no thousand days to guard against thieves.
If you already know that there is a stealth who wants to kill you, what if you let him go and this guy turns around and comes back to assassinate you?
It's not easy to imprison.
The stealth is not only good at stealth, but also good at sneaking through doors, picking locks, and escaping from restraints. Especially for stealth above level 3, unless there is an overwhelming advantage, it is easy for them to seize the opportunity to slip away.
Most people will simply choose to kill them directly, put an end to it, and solve the problem once and for all.
The reason why Hugo didn't kill them and let them go.
One reason is that he is not afraid of death at all.
The worst case scenario is that he will lose some experience and spend 100 life points to revive.
Another reason is that this is a level 3 stealth!
The Church of Knowledge doesn't have a level 3 stealth now!
This kind of guy who takes money to do things can be a help if used properly.
Hugo is a goblin who can value money more than his life when necessary.
Killing him directly is too wasteful for him!
...
Very quickly.
A rumor from an unknown source began to spread near the Ceylon Line 3.
With the arrival of the Hunting Month, the adventurers gathered here to discuss and exchange information in a temporary tavern.
The tavern is very small, just a small house built with some materials. If a storm comes, it may be blown down directly.
The cheapest and lowest quality beer is sold there, but because it is located on the border, a large cup of beer that originally costs 1 copper coin is sold for 10 copper coins here.
Despite this, the adventurers have no other choice but to make do here.
After all, when they step into the Dark Forest, it will be good to have a clean drink of water, let alone a tavern!
"Hey, hey, have you heard?"
"Someone has opened up a new territory in the Dark Forest!"
"Adventurers are welcome to go there to replenish food and water, provide safe overnight accommodation, and I heard that weapons can be maintained and repaired."
"Ah? Where did you get the news?"
"I don't know! I just heard it from others!"
"Is this gossip... reliable?"
...
