(Chapter 1 arrives!) Thank you for the tips of the three book friends of Crazy Dragon 12345, wdex79, and Xingyue Silent, and ask for the collection of tickets ~~~~~~)

The fact that Rod, the big boss of the gods game space, came to Talad County did not attract the attention of the contractors in Talad County, after all, Rhodes was not stupid enough to shout that I was the owner of the gods game space or what information was released in the space.

And although the aristocratic convoy composed of dozens of centaurs and two carriages is quite eye-catching in a small place, even if the contractor encounters it in a county town, it is not a very strange thing!

The arrival of Rhodes and his entourage was not only recorded by the city gate guards to the city lord's mansion, but Count Carman, as the city lord, did not put the arrival of Rhodes and his party into his eyes at all. Even the people involved in the Lord's Mansion were of the same opinion, and no one even reported to the Count that someone from the Baron Ernst's family had come to the county town.

After all, it is only a team of Barons in a very remote location, and the strength of the team is not at all in the Earl of Carmen and the county city of Tallard, and not many people will care too much about the whereabouts of Rhodes and Tamon.

As for the contractors who have developed in the city of Talad? They were now busy with their own affairs, who had the leisure to care about the entry of small aristocratic convoys like Rhodes and Tamon into the city?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Tallad City, among the Eastern Barracks.

Several strong men in the uniforms of the city defense army were walking out of the barracks gate with a young man in a brand new squadron leader's uniform, and from time to time they let out laughter and loud discussions.

"Captain, you've finally been promoted to squadron leader! It's worth celebrating!"

"That's right, Captain, how about going to the Black Fox Hotel for a treat?"

"That is, the captain is now officially promoted from acting squadron leader to squadron leader, so I want to celebrate!"

"Hehe, how can the Black Fox Hotel be qualified to celebrate the captain's promotion, I think it is more appropriate to go to the Red Flame Hotel!" The brawny men, who were obviously quite skilled, and wore the signs of the captain and soldier of the city defense of Talad, surrounded the young man with a smug face, and they were very enthusiastic and congratulated and coaxed.

"Okay! Let's go to the Red Flame Hotel today to celebrate!"

The young man wearing the squadron leader's uniform was praised and coaxed by his subordinates, and after thinking about his promotion today, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand and pretended to be generous.

"Great! The captain is so generous!"

"Let's get over there!"

"It is said that the hostesses of the red flame are all good goods"

After hearing the young man's words, several squad leaders and soldiers in the city of Talad cheered, and then hugged the young man while discussing how to be chic in the hotel today

But after they disappeared into the streets, on the third floor of a building in the barracks, a rather ugly-looking officer standing at the window, also wearing the uniform of a squadron leader, was talking to a man dressed as a soldier.

"What the hell is going on with that Grimman guy suddenly becoming so powerful? Don't tell me that the Grey Sparrow has received so much money and has not heard any useful news?" The man in the prime of life, who was obviously about thirty years old, said in a very dissatisfied tone to the soldier next to him who was not striking and could not be found directly in the crowd.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Rust, I have followed him for ten days and found nothing unusual, if you are still not satisfied, I can directly refund the deposit you paid on behalf of the Grey Sparrow!" The soldier codenamed Gray Sparrow replied indifferently to the words of the Squadron Leader Rust, without any fluctuation in his tone.

A few minutes later, when the unremarkable gray sparrow walked out of the building, he looked in the direction of the departure of the newly promoted squadron leader at the gate of the barracks, but a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Started to change a month ago? Great improvement in swordsmanship? Curryman, it seems that you are indeed the contractor."

Thinking back to the situation about that target and the news that he had followed for almost ten days without finding anything out of the ordinary, Grey Sparrow, who was also a contractor, understood what it meant to be in such a strange leap and bounds of personal strength without warning or clue - who could find out what it was said to be a playground for the gods? However, the contractor who knew where the mysterious game space of the gods was located was able to easily see the similarities that seemed familiar to him from this information.

Of course, Gray Sparrow didn't want to kill that Grimman, after all, not to mention that the other party was a squadron leader of the city defense army, just the order that the gods game space did not allow the contractor to kill each other in the outside world and erase the violator could make Gray Sparrow die of this heart - after all, there is not much benefit and it will be obliterated, and no one is willing to do it.

Grey Sparrow wondered if he could get in touch with Grimman and form an alliance in the gods game space.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As night falls, a dozen or so men are fighting each other in a dark street in a slum in the west side of Tallad, while the surrounding residents all hold their doors and watch out vigilantly.

In this city inhabited by poor people and vagabonds, the darkness of the whole city of Talad is basically shrouded in it, whether you need some kingdom forbidden items, thieves, assassins, killers and the like, or even alchemical products and forbidden potions produced by certain magicians can be found or purchased here - provided you have enough gold crowns on hand, of course!

Of course, there will be many poor and crazy people trying to fight for this dark and lucrative area, and everyone will fight for it with daggers, crossbows, and long swords in their hands.

The inhabitants here are also accustomed to hearing the sounds of fighting every other night, and as long as they don't affect themselves, the big guys stay in their humble houses, and will never go out to join in the kind of excitement that kills people.

"Click-"

"Qiang—"

"Ah!!h

In the streets, amidst the staggering of swords and daggers, people on both sides fell to the broken streets with low screams, staining the ground red with their own blood. Soon, however, one of the sides could not sustain such a bloody brutal battle and the number of attritions, and was directly defeated under the leadership of a man who could not endure this kind of battle and escaped.

"Poof-" With a flying dagger stabbing behind one of the slowest members, the battle for turf in the West End was finally over.

"Brother Longer, we have won!!"

A survivor with a bleeding arm looked at the tall and thin young man who was still standing on the street covered in blood with some fear, and shouted in a very excited voice.

"Really? We actually won?!!"

"Thanks to Brother Long'er, he single-handedly killed five people of the Black Scorpion!"

The other three survivors of the victorious side conversed as they tended to their wounds, while Brother Longer, who they watched with fear, stared silently at the corpses on the ground.

"Tomorrow we're going to take over the Black Scorpion's territory!"

After a few seconds of silence, Long'er, who seemed to be a little distracted, simply ordered his surviving brothers.

"Yes! Brother Longer!" *4

Listening to Long'er's order, several "brothers" who were subdued by Long'er with his fists had shiny eyes and excitedly agreed.

For these people who survive in the slums, since Longer has made his fist and led them to victory, then these surviving guys really have a certain loyalty to Longer.

"Praise the Merciful Gods"

Watching his "brothers" whispering about bandaging their wounds while searching for the corpses of dead people on the ground, Long Er, who had just killed five people with great might, couldn't help but thank the mysterious gods game space in his heart. Although it is said to be a game space for the amusement of countless gods, for a person who has been in the slums of the county since he was a child, the experience of becoming a contractor from the game space of the gods has changed his fate!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In other parts of Talad City, the Tallad City mercenaries, city defense soldiers, slum boys, craftsman apprentices, and mage apprentices who have become contractors are all silently influencing and changing the situation around them.

However, after all, there are not too many contractors, and the contractors scattered in and out of the county town do not have the ability to affect the upper order of Tallard City. After all, in the face of an army of almost 5,000 people (at least the gray iron median rank), more than fifty red bronze rank warriors (if enough time is enough, it can be doubled or tripled), more than ten silver rank powerhouses (the number of people who have been in the county for many years), and three gold rank powerhouses (at least one of them is in the city), this gorgeous lineup even if the legendary saint-level powerhouse comes, he has to temporarily avoid its edge, Two or three hundred gray iron rank and single digit red bronze rank contractors want to do something in Tallad City, it is really a situation of suicide!

The people in the vicinity of Talad who became the Contractors weren't idiots, except for a few unlucky guys who thought they were the protagonists of the legendary adventure stories who had learned with their lives, the other Talad Contractors were basically trying to improve their treatment and status.

Therefore, nothing happened during Rhodes' stay in the county town of Talad, and until Rhodes and his party got the certificate and left, the whole city of Talad was as calm as before.
