The lord of the city of Beseni seems to have a leisurely life every day, and although the kingdom of Mazzina, located on the shore of the South Sea, is not a powerful country, it is fortunate that it is rich in aquatic products and produces countless fruits. In these times of peace, the Kingdom of Azina was undoubtedly an economically prosperous country.

In such a country, Balk, the lord of Bemoni, has always lived happily.

He had money and power, and no one in this land dared to oppose Balk, and no one could go against Balk's wishes.

Sitting in your room and watching the fallen leaves outside, the time is about to reach the cold winter, right? He was thinking about when he would make a new coat, preferably one made from the skins of animals he had hunted himself.

However, it is said that a coat made of monster fur is more warm, and even if he doesn't need to go out often, he still wants to get a coat that can keep him warm. But instead of keeping warm, a coat made of monster fur is what he wants most.

Just as there are few branch temples in the South, there are few adventurer's guilds in the South. The Adventurers' Guild, which is more stingy than the Temple, has never been willing to spend more money and material resources to build branches here, and the main reason is that the south is not as full of monsters as the north.

Adventurers are a profession that lives on monsters, but it is also not possible to completely destroy the monsters in an area because of adventurers.

The monsters in the south tend to be in a state of equilibrium, and if the adventurers intervene, it will destroy the ecological balance of the south, so the adventurers' guild has not established a branch in the south for a long time.

Because of this, it is rare to buy materials about monsters in the south, and they are always imported from the north. Therefore, in the eyes of the nobles of the south, if anyone can use the materials of the demon race to make their own supplies, it will definitely be an honor.

Balk had never tried it before, but he thought his army should be capable of hunting monsters, right?

So Balk directly gathered his army because of such a whim, and prepared to personally lead the army to hunt monsters.

Although they didn't know why their lord suddenly wanted to hunt monsters, as the lord's soldiers, they naturally couldn't resist the lord's orders.

Thus a party of about 100 men was assembled, and Balk rode his horse and led the group of soldiers out of the city and towards the nearby forest, which was said to be infested with monsters.

"Lord Balk, there seems to be someone up ahead." In the middle of the procession, a soldier approached Balk and said, "It's a woman, alone." ”

"Huh? A woman walking alone on this road? Balk felt a little strange, it stands to reason that there would be no woman alone in this kind of place in this world, unless it was a very powerful female adventurer, but there were no adventurers in the south, so the person who appeared in front also aroused Balke's curiosity.

The army continued to advance, also approaching the oncoming woman.

And when they got closer, everyone could see the woman's face clearly, although she was wearing a mediocre dress, she could not hide her delicate face. Although I don't know why the other party wants to wrap her hair in a headscarf, even if she wraps her hair, she can be so beautiful, and no one cares why she did it.

"Hello, dear lady." As a nobleman, Balk naturally greeted the woman in front of him and said, "May I ask where you are going here?" ”

"Me? I went to the city of Bemany in front. The woman replied.

Balk didn't stop and continued to ask the woman, "You shouldn't be a local by looking at your appearance, right?" Is it from the north? ”

"Indeed, I am from the Kingdom of St. Martin." The other party smiled charmingly, as if he was a fairy who could confuse the world.

That's right, this person is naturally our protagonist, Zhen Xiang who left Lyons' house Zhen Xiang promised Lyons to kick his wife for revenge, and the object of revenge is naturally the lord in front of him at this time.

Zhen Xiang had already arrived in Bemyni City, but she didn't rush to Balk to question Lyons in person, but only told Zhen Xiang that the person who killed his wife was most likely the lord Lyons, but because she couldn't get the evidence, she couldn't sue the king.

However, Zhen Xiang felt that even if Lyons had evidence of Balke's murder, he would not be able to prosecute, after all, a fisherman and a lord, the king would naturally not be willing to favor the fishermen.

Zhen Xiang plans to approach Balk first, and then find out the evidence of Balk's murder, and only when he finds the evidence can he move on to the next step.

Although Zhen Xiang felt that he should go back to the temple first to tell the Pope about Brunmiwa, and at the same time go to the Northern Death Cemetery to find those ancient dragons to help rescue Ania and Tang Yihan, who were still trapped in the Brunmiwa continent.

But Zhen Xiang inexplicably felt that it seemed that the matter was not very urgent, and his inner intuition told him that Ania and Tang Yihan were safe now.

Zhen Xiang, the unlucky ghost, chose to trust his inner instincts, so he came directly here to find Balk.

"The Kingdom of St. Martin, I know, is the kingdom of Aniah, the disciple of the dark mage, who has become famous recently, right?" Balk asked Zhen Xiang, "Are you here to travel?" ”

Zhen Xiang nodded and replied: "Yes, I am traveling around the world, and I happened to swim around here recently, and I want to go to the city in front of me to find a guide to take me around, and I also want to see if there is anything in this vicinity...... Monsters. ”

In the end, Zhen Xiang's words attracted Balk's attention, he looked at Zhen Xiang's dress should be just a civilian, why did he ask about the monster?

"You're an adventurer?" Balk asked Zhen Xiang.

Zhen Xiang naturally wouldn't be sure, after all, she didn't have the name card on her that could prove that she was an adventurer, she said: "No, I'm a monster researcher, specializing in all kinds of monsters. ”

"So you know a lot about monsters, huh?" Balk felt that even if he wasn't an adventurer, it would be good if he could have a certain level of understanding of monsters, after all, none of them had fought monsters before, and if someone could help him, he might be able to relieve a little pressure.

Seeing Zhen Xiang nodding, Balk said again: "Then are you willing to accept my employment?" I'm willing to pay you to go on a monster hunt with us, but unfortunately none of us here have the experience of fighting monsters. ”

Zhen Xiang felt that this group of people was really powerful, as an ordinary person, he dared to provoke monsters without having experience in fighting monsters, under normal circumstances, at least he had to fight with other adventurers a few times before he dared to fight monsters without adventurers, right?

Of course, this is also in Zhen Xiang's arms, she was originally going to be ready to join the team of this group of guys, since the other party took the initiative to invite her, she didn't need to think of excuses anymore.

"If you can give me a price that makes me tickle." Zhen Xiang said jokingly: "What monsters are you going to hunt?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet." Balk said, "I'm looking for the kind of monster that I can use to make a coat, but I don't know what monster fur is better." ”

Wow, what a lord who can enjoy, and he actually came up with the idea of making clothes out of the fur of monsters, how many people in this world can be so luxurious?

After all, most of the monster materials were handed over to the Adventurer's Guild after being dragged back by the adventurers, and the Adventurers' Guild never took those materials out for sale, so there are very few monster materials circulating on the market, and they rarely use these precious materials to make clothes.

"So what I recommend here is a monster similar to a fox, right?" Zhen Xiang continued to say to Balke: "It's like your usual clothes will be made of foxes and other furs, and the fur made of foxes and monsters also has good warmth, and the feel is much better than most monsters. Of course, if you don't mind, you can go find some crocodiles and other monsters, which have tough skin and can be used to make armor. ”

Zhen Xiang proposed this because he would think of Andre's armor, except for a few powerful ancient dragons in this world, no one could cause damage to Andre, but in fact, every time they met the enemy, it was a strong person of the level of the ancient dragon, causing Andre to add some scars to his armor every time.

Luckily, Ania still has a large amount of Ukamlobas scales that can be used to repair Andrei's armor.

Of course, Balk is not an adventurer, and it is useless for him to get such an armor, and the main thing is that this general's belly is not suitable for wearing armor, it will only make him look more bloated.

"Then let's go and find out if there are any monsters like foxes?" Balk asked his men, "Where is there such a monster around here?" ”

The man replied, "I heard that there is such a fox-like monster in the forest to the east, and it has been mistaken for a giant wolf because of its size. ”

"Okay! Let's go hunt that fox! Balk was a man of his word, and he immediately ordered his army to turn and march eastward.

Zhen Xiang also set off with the team, and Balk asked one of his men to give up the horse to Zhen Xiang.

Although he is not very good at horseback riding, after all, someone is leading in front, and Zhen Xiang only needs to sit on it to maintain his body balance.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet." For some reason, the people who communicated with Zhen Xiang always forgot to mention the name, and at this time, Balk also remembered this stubble and said, "My name is Balke, and I am the lord here." ”
