Chapter 223 Ten times a day
The gossip that came from nowhere spread very quickly among the adventurers.
Someone opened up a civilized territory in the Dark Forest?
Near the Misty Valley?
Many people in the tavern were discussing this.
No other reason.
People didn't dare to believe it!
In the past, nobles of the Kingdom of Reyak or well-known mercenary groups had also opened up territories across the border.
At that time, they made a big move, bringing hundreds of people and a lot of various survival supplies, and specially invited construction workers to follow them to open up new territories and build city walls.
When they set out, the grand momentum was very admirable and exciting;
They couldn't withstand the red tide of monsters, and fled back with the remaining survivors in disgrace, which was also very embarrassing.
The current highest record of opening up new territories in the Dark Forest has only lasted for more than half a year.
After the monster red tide in late winter and early spring ended, he led the team to set out;
Unable to survive the cold winter, before the monster red tide of the new year came, he abandoned everything he had built in the territory and ran back to seek refuge.
Not to mention the gossip that came out this time.
No one had heard of anyone trying to open up a new territory before.
How did a civilized territory that was almost completely opened suddenly appear?
The gossip said that the construction of the territory this time was very complete, not only could it provide a stable supply of food and water, but also had hostels for overnight accommodation, and could even maintain weapons and sell equipment? Purchase monster materials?
Want to meet all these requirements at the same time?
Ceylon Line 3, a border defense line, can't do it!
The adventurers analyzed it.
"You're just bragging, right?"
"You're not the type who dares to claim to have expanded a territory just by bringing a few people to a shabby shed and cooking wild vegetables as food?"
"It's very possible!"
"What's the secret code? You want to get food for free? What can you eat in the Dark Forest? Maybe you're eating contaminated monster meat!"
The adventurers in the tavern reached a consensus after discussing:
It's probably another unreliable rumor!
"How could someone develop such a perfect territory in a place like the Dark Forest!"
An adventurer who was a little drunk from drinking inferior beer said directly in a drunken state:
"If this news is true, I'll fuck all the monsters in the Dark Forest!"
"No! I can fuck ten times!"
The tavern suddenly burst into laughter.
Nine out of ten adventurers who gathered in this tavern are warriors.
The quality of warriors is generally not that high. Most warriors are promoted from the descendants of civilians.
After all, compared with several other noble "divinely granted professions", the warrior's career path, which relies on tapping into one's own anger to gain power, actually has a much lower threshold.
For mages and priests, if they don't have the power blessed by the gods, there is no hope.
There is no chance to rewrite their fate.
The requirement for warriors to control anger, at least there is something like "Angry Heart Potion", which can lower the threshold to a certain extent.
A bunch of vulgar warriors gathered together, naturally they can't say anything good.
The topic quickly turned back to the recent hot hunting month.
They began to discuss the "noble heirs" who were about to participate in the hunting month.
"It seems that there are quite a few noble young masters and young ladies participating in the Hunting Month this year?"
"Yes, I heard that there are 6 young masters in Ceylon City alone who have announced their intention to participate!"
"Have these young masters really been to the Dark Forest? They won't be scared to pee their pants when they see monsters!"
"Hey! What do you know? The descendants of some noble masters are quite powerful. I heard that the third son of a viscount in Ceylon City successfully killed a level 2 monster in the Dark Forest last year. I heard that his goal this year is to kill a level 3 monster and get a title!"
During the Hunting Month, many descendants of nobles and manor nobles in Ceylon will also participate.
The reason they participate is different from those adventurers who come to hunt monsters in exchange for the king's reward.
The results of the noble descendants' hunting monsters will be related to their noble inheritance rights.
The Countess of Ceylon will count the performance of the noble descendants who participated in the hunting activities at the end of the Hunting Month every year.
The batch with outstanding performance can get a letter of recommendation signed by the Countess herself.
As long as you meet the requirements of a level 3 professional, plus a letter of recommendation, it is almost certain that you will be canonized by the king.
So at this time every year, there will be many descendants of nobles who have reached level 3, and even those at levels 1 and 2, who actively come to destroy monsters in order to leave a good impression on Countess Ceylon.
A drunk adventurer asked curiously:
"By the way, have you heard a rumor!"
"It seems that Nicole Ceylon, the only daughter of Countess Ceylon, has officially become a level 3 mage this year, and she seems to be participating in this hunting month!"
Someone immediately denied it:
"Impossible! Fake news!"
Another adventurer retorted:
"Who said it was fake news! I have heard about this too!"
Countess Ceylon is a household name here, and her legendary life experience is almost a model and example for adventurers.
Born as a commoner, she was blessed by the goddess of magic and became a 1st-level wizard. She became famous by adventure with her dwarf friends. Finally, she was awarded the title of earl by the king with the status of a 5th-level wizard. She married her childhood sweetheart and gave birth to a daughter soon after marriage.
Her daughter Nicole Ceylon not only inherited her mother's beauty, but also had a terrifying talent in magic.
She just turned 14 this year and reached the rating of a 3rd-level wizard. It is rumored that Nicole will probably surpass her mother in the future and become one of the few female 6th-level wizards on the continent.
"How could the countess be willing to let her daughter adventure in the Dark Forest!"
"Why not? The countess was born as an adventurer! Isn't it normal to let her daughter experience it too!"
"Don't joke. The countess and her husband have only one daughter in 15 years. They are not like those noble men who are super fertile like pigs. What if Miss Nicole gets into trouble!"
The adventurers soon quarreled.
The Hunting Month will officially start in a few days, and it has not been decided who will participate. Similar topics are always discussed in the tavern, and all kinds of rumors and gossip are flying around.
Just when the atmosphere in the tavern was heated.
A thin young adventurer pushed open the door of the tavern.
The brand new one-handed sword and the well-made iron shield on his back attracted the attention of other adventurers in the tavern.
Someone who knew him asked:
"Sam! Have you made a fortune? This weapon, wow! It doesn't look cheap!"
The young adventurer named Sam was immediately excited when he heard it:
"How did you know? I bought this set of weapons and shields in the new territory outside the Misty Valley, and it only cost more than 40 silver coins!"
The tavern was instantly silent.
The man who had previously clamored to have sex ten times sobered up on the spot, and his face turned pale.
