Zach sat in a secluded part of the academy with his eyes closed. They returned yesterday with the first townspeople, and during the voyage they were given a short introduction. The demon's appearance caused an uproar once again, but since they were trapped in a ship surrounded by the sea, they couldn't just run away. After a whispered conversation, they looked okay, as Zach and the warrior fighting the rats were both human after all.

Almost as soon as they reached Atwood Harbor, the ship sailed for the next island. If they are to save all the teams before the third wave begins, they will have to sail around the clock. We have the option to buy a larger transport ship from the creators, but they cost more than ten million relationship coins.

Zach can afford it, but he wants to keep his money while the auction and the Third Wave arrive. Instead of joining the expedition below, Zach chose to focus on meditation. The new townsfolk are mostly led by Megan and her group.

Since Zach brought the women from Greenworth, Meghan and the others have quickly improved their attitudes. Zach didn't give any orders to keep the world's secrets, and soon everyone on the island knew exactly how much the world had fallen. Emily has told them so much, but she is considered biased because she basically lives a comfortable life in Zack's mansion.

But listening to one horror story after another made these former refugees realize that being stranded on this island wasn't too bad. There is food, there is safety. There are even a steady number of relationship crystals available for purchase, so they can quickly level up without risking their lives. As long as they complete their daily tasks, Zach even offers them a meager salary.

Currently, it is paid for by Zach himself, but once he becomes a lord, he can start taxing his citizens. At this point, he wants as many citizens as possible to add value to the city.

Instead of helping with the rescue, Zach went to the Academy's gravity array. His original plan was to focus on the way of sharpness, but his recent inspiration in Greenworth's Heavy changed his mind. He chose to meditate while sitting in a gravitational array because he thought the feeling of pressure all over his body might help him in his adventure.

He had been sitting there for almost a whole day, and finally got up and stretched. The improved array increases the pressure to 25 times the normal value and can cover a large area rather than just small camps. Still, trainees usually train at 10 times the force of gravity because they usually crash when they try something higher than that.

He nodded at Arin, who was busy screaming at one of the girls as he walked away. During the daytime of the formation, he sometimes watches training while resting. What he saw was discordant. He could understand why this woman had been fired, because she really didn't hide anything while teaching these people.

She is usually calm and has a smile on her face, as if she was teaching him in a cave. But when someone doesn't live up to her expectations, she can also erupt into a heated tirade. Her verbal attacks would have humiliated even most cadet officers. Not only that, but she was even given a tool that could be described as a grenade.

It is a small inscription, powered by a single Relationship Crystal, that explodes into a shockwave when thrown. It will blow up anyone who doesn't know it, although it won't cause any real damage. She uses it whenever she feels like someone is hanging out. To make matters worse, Zach learns that the cost of the bomb was taken out of the pockets of the people she attacked. He had considered stopping her at the time, but judging by the recruits' reactions, they didn't mind, which only motivated them to keep going.

He then went to the Thayer Consortium, where an excited Kallin came over to welcome him.

"Lord Zach, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope the pills I bought for you meet your expectations," he said, with a greedy glint in his eyes. "By the way, I heard a customer mention that there is an auction coming up?"

Zach's mouth couldn't help but pull up, and he looked down at the little sky dwarf that was almost bouncing with excitement.

"I thought you couldn't leave this compound, why would you be interested?"

"We are not prisoners. We were able to leave the building at any time, but most of our family were weak. Once upon a time, we had powerful warriors to protect the Thayer family, but they all defected, not wanting to affect their future cultivation. "Short-sighted fools," he explained angrily.

"We could leave at any time, even though we usually need to stay in your town. On this emerging planet, where we are subject to the same restrictions as all other foreigners, our special protections do not extend beyond our buildings. We are also forbidden to do various activities, such as most types of quests and acquiring land.

"However, I do have a mission! I can go to the auction with you. "Who knows what precious things you newly fused humans will sell for a fraction of their value," Kallin exclaimed.

It seems that the reason for his visit to the consortium has been sorted out.

"Very good, you can go with me. I need someone who can spot valuables. However, you represent Port Atwood and the Thayer Consortium, not just yourself. You may also need assistance in negotiations," Zach said.

He wondered what the reaction would be caused by this little blue gnome, but he didn't mind exposing him because he was just a commercial user and its origin was easy to explain. Not only is he good at sniffing out treasures, but he's also a talkative guy who might help him get rid of some harsh first impressions of Port Atwood.

As he walked towards the inner area, he quickly heard the bustling of activity. Since only the interior walls were completed, the real construction of this town could not begin yet. Once the next wave arrives, anything built in a future residential or artisanal area could be in ruins. However, all the new citizens need a place to live temporarily, and a large number of buildings are being built in temporary towns within the city walls.

As he walked down the street, he saw many unfamiliar faces. It was the constant influx of refugees from the boats that traveled between the islands. As more and more people join the town, the impact of the demons becomes less and less. Despite this, many have just arrived and have curiously or fearfully glanced at the demons that have passed by them.

Especially when he hears the increasingly active laughter of the children in the town. He looked curiously and saw that several of the children were actually some distance away from Cheese Street, and their parents were scared to stop them from rushing up.

Zach was surprised to see that the insect was able to wave his tentacles, and he kept waving his tentacles at the children, who waved back excitedly. It also had a large larva in its hand, but apparently no one was interested in his greeting gift.

As soon as Cheese spotted Zack, it perked up and put away the larva as it approached, with the two demon guards following closely behind, both glaring at the insect viciously. Zach briefly wondered if anyone would really be willing to accept Cheese's offer to fight to the death.

"Hello. If you have time, what do I have to discuss with you?" Ibutepu said as he approached Zach.

"Of course, let's go over," Zach said, pointing to Adelan's command tent around the corner.

Soon they found themselves sitting at a table on the partition of the large tent.

"I've been walking among your kind and horned men for two days, and I can almost certainly conclude that you really aren't part of the Dominators or the Fallen," the wise man began.

"Uh, thank you?" Zach said, a little confused.

"I would like to report back to my island and elaborate on my findings. "I know that your ships are constantly moving between the islands and hope to keep sailing," he said. ”。

"You're home?" Zach asked.

"No, I still want to keep watching, and I hope you can come and pick me up again. What's more, I'd like to join your expedition through magic transfer building. ”。

"The first part is fine, but the second part is ...... Belch...... There may be a problem. "The last time Cheese teleported to where we were going, they went crazy and started killing everyone," Zach said hesitantly.

"Sounds good. Zealots weave through the formations and unleash deadly attacks on the rulers. Their offspring will be well taken care of. Of course, in this new world, this is misleading. However, I find it very disturbing that there is a Zix solution that has set up such a transfer unit so easily," said Ibtep.

"Why bother?" Zach asked, confused.

"I explained what happened to what we called the Nexus Crystal. Holiness seals it up because it is full of corruption. Most anointed people should do the same and avoid using this device. A hive is already using it, sending out death attacks to the extent of... One question.

"Either they're more open than we are. This is unlikely, because what the Episcopal Church has done to you is unprecedented. If our situation wasn't so bad, you'd be attacked to the last of our people. Another option is ...... The hive is not bad for exploiting corruption," Ibutepu said with a frown.

"Are you saying they might be the so-called masters of your old world?

"It's the official faith, but there should be traitors who survive. The power of corruption is always tempting," Ibutaipu said.

"I don't understand what it has to do with you coming with me?" Zach asked suspiciously.

"I would like to know more about other beehives, the information here is limited. It seems that I still need to remind you humans of the Juggernaut for the good of both of us.

"Why do you think they're going to be a problem that needs to be warned to humanity? They sound dangerous, but everyone is getting stronger and losing their edge," Zach asked, feeling a little incredulous. "Besides, you don't have any power to defeat them. ”

"Well, I'm going to break the vows because I think it's too important to discuss. It is taboo to discuss the abilities of the anointed, but you should know that we have a ladder just like you. Most of the people on the ladder are anointed, because between the administration ritual and their naturally superior constitution, they should be better suited to this new world than you and me.

However, there are also a few people who do not show their real names and use various pseudonyms. Some people previously thought it was because of shame and didn't want to show how many hives were dying under their watch, because each death made the anointed stronger stronger. In fact, the top five on our power ladder all use pseudonyms.

"But there's always another possibility. Those with fake names may be traitors who are afraid of being exposed. This explains why they are higher in energy. They were already full of corruption before the integration," concluded Ibte.

"I still don't understand what you mean?" Zach probed.

"The ones with pseudonyms are all around level 100. ”
