Chapter 085: Trouble

On the easternmost side of the medium-sized town of 'Bellst' is an ornately decorated church, which houses the shrine of Losanda, the Lord of the Morning Sun.

Soaring twin spires, tall columns, magnificent stained inlaid glass windows, and exquisite sculptures, the fountain of holy water flowing around the temple...... All of them show the great wealth of the church.

The priests of Los Sanda are mostly passionate idealists who work hard to help humanity and their allies, and actively promote harmonious coexistence among races, they spread good and resist evil, and they are committed to eradicating the undead who expel the dangerous beasts of civilization and purify the entire world...... It can be said that the phrase 'people of the morning light' is a true portrayal of them.

Recently, due to the influx of a large number of adventurers, the town of 'Bellster' has brought great burden and chaos, for which the high priest of the temple, Moraner, has spent a lot of energy.

"Lord Moraner."

A captain of the temple guard, dressed in silver armor and wearing a long cloak, knocked on the door a few times and hurried into the high-ranking priest's study.

"Carl, have you found the cause of the incident?"

"Praise be to your wisdom!"

The captain of the temple guard, known as Karl, gave his right hand to his chest and said complimentingly, "The target of these adventurers is the ruins of Alec on the west side of the town. ”

"Huh? Could it be that the news has been leaked? ”

High Priest Moraner frowned, and after a deep sigh, he said categorically, "From now on, lock down the town!" ”

"Your will is my command."

Karl, the captain of the temple guard, leaned over slightly, then turned and left the study.

"Hopefully my decision is the right ......"

Moranel let out a long sigh, his eyes closed slightly as he held the emblem and began to pray in a low voice.

……

The next morning, at dawn.

After a brief breakfast, Weizel walked out of an inn, and after having disposed of his debris the day before, he rode slowly on his tall horse towards the exit of the town towards the 'Candle Castle'.

"Strange adventurer, stop!"

As he was about to leave town, he was stopped by a well-armed team of temple guards.

"Any questions?"

Wei Zede, who was riding on a horse, asked suspiciously, "Why can't you go out of town?" ”

"Your Excellency Bishop has an order, seal off the town until the ban is lifted!"

One of the temple guards replied in a stiff tone, "Adventurer, return to town!" ”

"Damn it! Have I run out of luck? ”

The unhappy Wei Zede did not argue with the temple guards, he just shook his head, turned his horse's head, and returned to the town's tavern.

As expected, as the sun rose and time passed, the adventurers in 'Bellst' all knew about the 'town blockade' in a short period of time, and their curses, protests, and helpless self-deprecation filled the entire town, which made the already somewhat turbulent order precarious.

Fortunately, the clergy who believed in Losanda reacted quickly, and they forcefully killed several adventurers from the evil camp to suppress this discontent.

"What a bad luck!"

In the noisy tavern, an adventurer drank indignantly and kept shouting, "It's rare to encounter such a low-risk, high-return opportunity, but it has made the 'People of Dawn' confused......"

"Yes! Looking at the current situation, the treasure beneath Alec's ruins is out of reach! ”

"Drink and drink! Who makes the backer of the family......"

“……”

Listening to all kinds of noisy sounds, Weizelde, who was drinking ale, figured out the reason why the town was 'blocked'.

In Am, in the area of 'Swo Bay', I don't know who released the rumor that in the 'Alec's Ruins' on the west side of the town 'Bellst', there is a treasure buried in the high-ranking mage Alec.

For adventurers, the legacy of any spellcaster is an unimaginable amount of wealth, not to mention treasure!

For this reason, well-informed adventurers rushed here.

Due to the haunting of Alec's Ruins, the ruins have been sealed off by the town's administrator, the Church of Loshanda, and this is the reason why adventurers have accumulated more and more without achieving anything.

Based on past experience, as long as the number of adventurers reaches a certain level, they can break into the ruins in search of treasure despite the blockade of the temple...... However, the response of the Church of Los Sanda was very quick, 'blockading the town', 'killing chickens and making an example', and after making a few big moves, it directly completely extinguished the 'careful thoughts' of these adventurers.

“…… What a calamity! ”

Wei Zede breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he had no intention of exploring the ruins.

"As long as I have the patience to wait for this to pass, I can go straight to the 'Candle Castle'! I can afford to wait for two months, and it's not bad for a few days......"

Just as Wei Zede was secretly calculating, the door to the tavern slammed open, and a team of heavily armed temple guards broke in.

The bustling tavern fell completely silent in a few breaths, and you could hear a pin drop! The adventurers were also looking at this group of uninvited guests with various meanings.

A stout man in silver armor and a long cloak walked into the tavern along the cleared passage, and he was none other than Karl, the captain of the temple's guard.

"Lucky guys......"

Karl, who was standing in front of the tavern, exclaimed, "Lord Moranger has decided to organize his men and enter Alec's Ruins at noon tomorrow...... For the sake of maintaining order, we can't let you adventurers stay in town! ”

"So Master Moranger decided...... Tomorrow you adventurers can follow the Temple Guards into the ruins! ”

"Thank the Lord of Dawn for the blessings!"

With that, Karl, the captain of the temple guard, flicked his cloak and strode out of the tavern with his men.

"Did I drink too much?"

“…… Can we also go into the ruins? ”

"Is this all true?"

After the initial incredulity, the adventurers in the tavern immediately boiled.

"Praise be to you, generous Lord of the Dawn!"

"Haha! I knew I was going to make a fortune......"

"Cheers!"

“……”

In addition to most of the adventurers who were extremely excited, there were other thoughtful and calm adventurers who fell silent, and although they couldn't figure it out, their sensitive intuition warned of a looming danger.

"Judging by the luck at the moment, I must have met the big. Trouble! ”

Wei Zede, he also sensed this inexplicable crisis.
