"Why would you want to find someone like me? I mean, out of all the adventurers, I don't seem to be anything special except for an alien identity. Staunt was a little confused.

This question made Thor ponder, he couldn't say that he felt like you were having fun.

"Because of the pride in your eyes. Thor looked up.

"Flutter~" Beth on the side couldn't help it, she suddenly found that Thor was talking nonsense, which felt very charming, which made her a little obsessed.

This lizardman double-sword samurai has vertical pupils and squinted eyes, which originally looked normal, but was pulled by Thor on the 'pride', and for some reason the whole picture suddenly became very funny.

Thor turned his head with a black line, and the originally tall thing was completely changed by Beth's smile.

Beth stuck out her little tongue and quietly shook Thor's arm, which calmed Thor's urge to laugh too, but he almost couldn't hold back himself.

"I'm not kidding, let's just say what's the purpose of your adventure?" Thor hurriedly digressed, in case the lizardman had a grumpy temper and felt that he and Beth were humiliating him and causing unnecessary trouble.

"As I said before, I am in the midst of my own adventurous practice, which is an ancient custom of our race. To put it more bluntly, I crossed most of the Sarvinian continent to come here for the sake of bloodshed. Stante's tone suddenly became a little solemn.

"That's right, territory building is a long and very participatory thing, whether you want pay, adventure, honor, there is actually something in it. Even after the territory is built, as the patriarch of the territory, the corresponding rights can be obtained. ”

"No matter rain or shine on your adventure, you always have to eat and sleep to earn money. But since you make honing your combat skills a priority, I think territory building is a good fit for you, and the battles and trials you will face in the future will only be more and not less. Thor spread his hands and talked.

"Regardless of what you said about territorial construction, it's not feasible, but it's just the three of us?" Stant asked suddenly.

"Everything has a beginning, and now we are undoubtedly at the beginning of the whole thing. Originally, it was just me and my companions, and if you join in, there will be three people, and there will definitely be fourth, fifth, or even more after that. ”

"As for the composition of the team, you don't have to worry at all, although we don't have any racial discrimination, those who can join the team must at least make sure that they have a certain character. Well, a bold guy like you. Thor continued to agitate.

When Thor finished speaking, Stante's slitted eyes flashed, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

Although building a territory sounds a bit ridiculous, to put it bluntly, when it comes to one's own adventure, it is just a random search for something to fight and kill, and there is no conflict between the two things, and it sounds like you can earn a certain amount of money for the journey.

"Okay, I promised you to join the party, but now I have a commission in my hand, and I must rush to the Blight Mine, where it is said to have been attacked by monsters. You ......"

Stint didn't invite him directly, but he didn't want to say anything, which was actually a temptation on his part. After all, it doesn't matter if everyone talks and laughs at the dinner table, but since they want to mix a team, they naturally have to understand each other's strength and personality.

Thor took out the map and glanced at it, the Blight Mine was a small village in Baron's territory, not far away, and its name was said to have been rebuilt from abandoned ore veins.

"We'd love to walk with you, if we can help, but I'll do well in terms of combat, after all, my companion only has first-order strength. Thor put away the map and said to Staunt.

Beth pouted to herself, but she knew that Thor was just trying to protect herself, so she didn't say anything.

"No problem, it's said that there aren't any dangerous monsters over there. It's just that time is pressing, you may have to work harder, and set off overnight with me. Stante replied.

The dinner was almost over, and the crowd stood up.

"Thank you for this treat, and when I have more money on hand, I'll invite you two back. Staunt was a little embarrassed.

"It's not worth mentioning, everyone will be companions in the future, let's take care of each other more during the journey. Thor waved his hand, and the three of them left the tavern and drove overnight to the blighted mines east of Balon's domain.

Although the distance was not far, it still took everyone a day and a half.

There were two skirmishes along the way, but they were easy to deal with, and there was not much chance for each other's strength to show.

Halfway through, after eating a light meal prepared by Thor himself, Stant the Lizardman was full of praise and claimed that it was much better than the special food offered by many towns.

By the time the three of them arrived at the Blight Pit, the small village was already bustling with activity.

A number of adventurers in different costumes have gathered here, seemingly discussing a specific plan of defeat.

It is said that the village was originally used for storage, but a monster suddenly appeared in those ancient abandoned mines, the source is unknown, and several villagers have been killed. So the village chief sent a request for help to the surrounding areas of the territory, calling on the adventurers to come and eliminate the evil.

This had never happened to the village before, after all, when the village was first built many years ago, the abandoned mine caves leading deep underground had been buried and sealed by boulders, leaving only some shallow tunnels for the survival of the village's population.

The main reason why this village relies on these mines is that the village was not well defended enough to resist the threat of the dark wilderness, so it had to hide in shallow mines to obtain shelter.

Later, with the establishment of the Balon Territory, the living environment was relocated back to the surface, and the original shallow mines were divided into warehouses for the caravans to move goods.

Until a few days ago, suddenly a villager was attacked.

One of the more likely theories is that maybe some of the sealed pits have collapsed due to age, so some monster has escaped from deep underground.

There is not much useful information from the locals, and the appearance of the monster is unknown, and the strength is unknown, but I heard that the size seems to be quite small. That's the task in many small places, and it sounds like a blur that doesn't end there, and it's hard to grasp the point.

Since I don't know enough about monsters, I can only scatter the adventurers into the intricate mines to investigate one by one, and only after fighting with monsters can I further arrange targeted tactics according to the specific situation.

At present, a third-order adventurer who calls himself 'Odyss' is arranging and distributing over there, looking like the principal.

This kind of task, which requires a large number of people, has risen to the level of group commissioning. Thor and Staunt had a brief exchange, and did not steal the limelight, but just silently merged into the team and waited for the arrangement.

Thor's current strength is still the third order, although in the scene of the big trouble in Odrenza, he had forcibly promoted to the fifth order with the madness potion, but now that the potion has passed, his strength has returned to the original level.

As for the old regurgitation after taking the madness potion, it seems that it has also disappeared with the dissipation of the curse, and there is no negative impact on the current body. Thor didn't have a clue about this, so he could only secretly rejoice.

Beth clamored to help in the fight, and after being dragged into the secret by Thor to bite her little mouth, she could only obediently wait and watch in a safer place outside the mine.

At this moment, all the adventurers gathered in the open space at the entrance of the mine, and soon it was Thor's turn and Stant's turn.

"Friend, seeing that your strength is good, why don't you lead a team. According to the village chief, there are four main tunnels to go down to the pit, so I divided the adventurers here into four teams of nearly thirty people, I wonder if you have any better suggestions, friend?"

Odeus's tone was very polite, after all, Thor's strength was at the same level as him. In case Thor is a person who does not like to be arranged, the situation may be very embarrassing, so he first asked Thor for his opinion.

This method is very common, and when some adventurers who don't know each other get together, they usually choose a leader temporarily according to their strength, or they can also nominate themselves like Odyssus and get everyone's consent.

In fact, when Thor first arrived, he had already seen it very clearly, there were adventurers from the first order to the third order in the entire clearing, among which the first order had the largest number, followed by the second order, and the third order only had Thor himself and this Odyss.

"No problem, you can arrange it, but this lizardman is my original teammate, and I hope we can walk together. Thor smiled politely, neither modest nor trying to fight for the position of the lead officer, meaningless.

As for letting him lead a team, although Sol verbally agreed, he was not really interested.

This kind of temporary cooperation is very short-term, to put it bluntly, it is just for everyone to temporarily obey the assignment and not act blindly, and Thor is not prepared to use this temporary little power to forcibly order anyone, and it is best for everyone to complete the task as soon as possible.

Soon the team was divided, and in addition to the lizard warrior Stante, there were three more adventurers on Thor's side, three men and two women, and the entire team totaled seven people.

With limited access to the mines, Thor's team and Odeus's team entered the mine first with torches, and then each stepped onto the left and right of the four main tunnels. The middle two were reserved for the two squads that came in later, which had been arranged by Odes.

The one on the left, which is quite spacious, has a dull yellow soil, and the traces of mining from a long time ago have long since faded, and now only the regular area carved out by the man-made buildings remains, and some goods covered with felt can be seen in it.

After a short walk, the terrain began to slope slightly downward, and solid wood columns supporting the mine appeared on both sides.

"For the next cooperation, let's introduce each other on the road, as for me, everyone can call me Thor. Thor turned back and smiled kindly at his teammates, ready to take advantage of this adventure to see if he could meet one or two talents who could help the construction of the territory.

However, the introduction of everyone to each other has only just begun.

"Ah~!" suddenly came the sound of screams and fighting in the direction behind him.

I've only walked a few steps, and I actually ran into an enemy?

"The number of enemies is not clear, and they are behind us, so let's go back to support first, so as not to suffer from the enemy on our backs. Thor waved decisively, and then took the lead in running the way he came.

It was true that he hadn't gone too far, and as soon as he ran through the stockpiling area, he returned to the main pit where the adventure team parted ways.

At that moment, a swift black shadow suddenly leapt in front of Thor. It looked like an enlarged wolf or cheetah, walking on all fours, as black as a shadow, and seemed to have two heads.

Thor's heart sank suddenly, although he didn't see what it was, but from the other party's temporary residual breath, he clearly felt that it was a fourth-order enemy.
