Chapter 261: You'll Get Stronger
I have to say that a kind person is relatively easy to be deceived, because it is difficult to ignore the bullying incidents that happen around him, and he cannot tolerate the evil around him, but it is easy to get involved in the other party's routine if he dares to meddle. The people of the Church of Light are not pure and good people, but they are limited to doctrine and cannot be ignored. Otherwise, others will think that the Church of Light is usually full of benevolence, and if it really encounters evil things around it, it has nothing to do with itself.
However, a pure passer-by like Kevin does not have this kind of pressure, and even if Kevin wants to resolve this kind of dispute, he will never directly pay the loan on his behalf. This seemingly heroic technique is actually just a lot of routines, because everyone else clearly sees that some people's routines have succeeded, and it is inevitable to follow the trend.
There is no direct evidence to prove whether these two pairs of beaters are related to the hotel, but anyone with a discerning eye understands it. Even if it wasn't directly instructed by the hotel, at least they knew the inside story. Of course, at the same time, they will not admit it, even if the Church of Light asks, they will shirk it: "We were going to drive people away." β
And although the people of the Church of Light have seen the routine, they are still a little unbelievable in their hearts. These beatings are all real beatings, and the whip and the wooden stick are all struck with enough strength, otherwise they can't deceive their strong people. And the amount they asked for was only 100 crystal coins. For a mere hundred crystal coins, he would rather beat his own skin and flesh?
This made the light powerhouses angry and incomprehensible. They are strong, and they are considered to be in the upper echelons of the Church of Light, and they are located in a wealthy place, and it is hard to imagine that someone would come to perform a bitter trick for this money.
But they're not idiots after all, and if the crooks can have a little bit of a program with a little interval in between, they might be able to cheat two more times. However, there may be more than one scammer, everyone has to fight for the front row, after all, it is too late, and the deception will be recognized.
"Let's go," said a paladin, still calmly, "we won't embarrass you, and we won't do anything like this again." β
Both pairs of beaters stopped and looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
The security guard of the hotel on the side made a timely move: "Okay, okay, get out immediately, disturb the guests!"
The two pairs of liars also stopped insisting and ran away in disgrace. Then the front desk of the hotel came to the Church of Light and said, "Oops, I'm so sorry." There is this kind of person here, and everyone must be careful in the future. β
One of the paladins at the head just waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just some small money anyway." β
While speaking, a pair of people suddenly rushed in, and everyone saw that it was the one who had just been yelled: "It's full of people here, go out and fight". The former skillfully climbed to the ground, and the latter was even more ruthless, holding a shovel and slapping him on the leg one by one.
The paladin finally became angry, it was simply an insult to his intelligence, and he immediately spoke: "You deceived a clergyman like this, believe it or not, I can burn you to death as an infidel!"
As soon as these words came out, all the faces of those who were beaten and those who were beaten changed their faces, stiffened for two seconds, and then turned around and ran, and there was no figure in a moment.
The paladin snorted coldly and returned to his room with a belly full of anger, and the other members of the Church of Light also dispersed. Strangely enough, when they shouted that they might burn people as infidels, no one used this routine anymore.
But to say that they are scared of this, I am afraid it is not that simple. These bright powerhouses had just moved in, and they were cheated out of 100 before they could spend the night, how could they miss such a naΓ―ve fat sheep?
Sain and the others suggested that Kevin, why don't we go over and warn them?
In this regard, Kevin did not support it: "Go now, it's hard to guarantee that others will not think that we are also a routine." And Strina had just met them, and the people who were also in the Light faith were still cold, so what are we? Now go and remind the Church of Light that you may not get their favor, but you will definitely be disgusted by coming to the hotel. We are not suitable for standing in line at the moment, let them make trouble with each other, there is a bright church to attract routines, and we have escaped some. β
"To quote our king," Kevin continued, "it's best to make a fortune in a muffled voice." We also have some forces now, take the opportunity to cultivate them well, and let them come forward when needed. β
Everyone immediately agreed.
The night passed, and it was safe. Early the next morning, the bright powerhouses went to the local church to assemble, and after a short mobilization, they immediately planned to leave the city.
Of course, they are not here for an outing, and the kobolds here have no results in their search, and they can't just delay it indefinitely. This time, they are enough in number, and they have given enough attention, and they can almost take over in person.
However, the Church of Light also learned its lesson, and did not show their strong demeanor in a big way, and put away all the weapons that could be collected, and changed their clothes into ordinary civilian cloth clothes. Compared to when they first arrived, they could feel the breath of holiness from afar, and now they are like an ordinary noble brigade.
Kevin sent parrots to follow them and wouldn't interfere with anything, but at least stay up to date. In fact, not only the parrots, but most of the other observation groups will also send their own demons to collect information. However, parrots are intelligent after all, and they are very autonomous, much stronger than ordinary demons.
This time, the Church of Light is divided into three ways out of the city, each in one direction. There were about a dozen people in each team, and a few others were left in the main city, repeatedly questioning Kevin and the others, as well as the light and dark elves, and other people who had been in direct contact with the necromancer.
Kevin also tried his best to cooperate, except for concealing that he got 100 million, he basically said everything else, and a transcript report was copied five times, and they really felt that there was nothing to ask, so they had to give up.
In the evening, these bright powerhouses did not come back, and camped directly in the wilderness, obviously they had made full preparations and prepared enough dry food for survival in the wild. In this way, at least the scammers will not chase them out of the city to trick them, and they will escape for a few days.
However, a few days later, they returned and had roughly searched nearly 100 kilometers of the surrounding area, both government and rebel territory, and many obvious caves. However, there was still nothing, let alone people, and there was not even a trace of the necromancer's spell casting.
According to Kevin's information, when he first encountered the necromancer, there was a hole in the ground where a three-headed and six-armed gnoll jumped out. Among them, there was a bright powerhouse who went to investigate, but the cave had already been burned to ashes, and there was nothing left.
The Church of Light uses any tracking technology, all in vain. But then again, the time interval between Kevin's report and their arrival is indeed a bit long, enough for the necromancer to destroy the evidence and escape.
What to do next? Expand the search? How far should you go? Ask the airship passengers at the nearby airport to register? But the airport never registers passengers. There is one thing that everyone can't figure out, why can't you find such a large map of "Glory of the Dead"?
But a closer look at the diary shows that it never seems to say that the map is nearby. She just said there was a party, but the location was unknown. Maybe she has to go somewhere else to play "glory" at every party?
Returning to the city with a tired face, even if it is a strong person, he can't help but smell of sweat after a few days of eating and sleeping in the wilderness, especially in this hot summer. The vendor on the side has immediately greeted him: "Big brothers and sisters, do you want to see our floral bath bucket?"
The strong men ignored it and continued to move on.
The vendor chased after him two steps, and then shouted, "I know the big brothers and sisters want to go back to the bath, right? Let me tell you, the bathtub in that hotel is very dirty, and if you think that so many people are washing in the same bathtub, can this tub be clean?"
Many women immediately stopped and looked back.
"Look at my floral tub," shouted the vendor, holding a large bucket, "smell the scent, look at the workmanship, how comfortable it feels to soak in hot water." Even if it can be used in the wild, the big brothers and sisters are obviously masters, and they all have space rings, are you afraid that you won't be able to fit this one barrel?"
"How much?" someone began to ask for the price.
"10 Crystal Coins. The other party replied.
Everyone discussed and felt that 10 crystal coins were still very cheap, and it was not worth mentioning for these strong people at all, but if they could take a bath in the wild, it seemed very good. And you may have to continue the search in the future, most of which will be useful.
Seeing that they seemed to be a little moved, the vendors hurriedly began to boast that those who have washed in this tub will smell flowers for a month. The fragrance of flowers is made of a certain special material, and it often smells and has special effects, increasing mental power, increasing strength, increasing physical strength, all in all, using this poke bath, you will become stronger.
The people of the Church of Light discussed it again, and they all felt that 10 crystal coins would not lose anything. The other party also guarantees that once damaged, it will be returned and replaced.
Immediately, everyone generously donated money, and each person took a large wooden barrel. These people are really masters, and everyone has a space ring, and they all are included in it in an instant, and then continue to move forward.
"Big brothers and sisters," said another vendor before he had taken two steps, "come and see my floral towels here! Do you buy a tub and don't you buy towels? Aren't your own towels dirty after they've been in the field?" Buy a new one?...... Floral towels are made of special materials...... Increase mental strength, increase strength, increase physical strength, in short, you wipe your body with this towel, and you will become stronger!"
When everyone asked the price, it only cost 5 crystal coins, which seemed to be cheaper. Everyone didn't care about it immediately and donated again. Some ladies also bought two, one for washing their faces and one for washing their feet. Then they asked the person who had bought only one in a puzzled tone, "Do you wash your face and feet in one piece?"
The people who bought one were embarrassed, so they bought another one.
Keep going. "Oh, big brothers and sisters, come and see my floral soap...... Anyway, if you use this, you will become stronger!"
This thing is cheaper, as long as two crystal coins, the people of the Church of Light will buy it again.
"Oh, big brothers and sisters, come and see me," the vendor took out a wooden spoon for scooping water, "Look at my flowery spoon, you bath in the tub, how can you fill the water without scooping water?"
"Oh, big brothers and sisters, look at this," another vendor forced his way in, "Floral charcoal! Boil water with this charcoal, and you'll get stronger!"
The intelligence of the Church of Light was insulted again, and the leading paladin's face was instantly ugly, and he pushed away the two vendors and walked forward on his own. The two vendors sighed and complained, "The people in front of me have gone too far, so that I don't believe it." β
No matter how much you are deceived, as long as you are deceived, you will be in a bad mood after all. Some people even want to go back to the vendor to settle accounts, but it seems that it is not worth it, and there seems to be no problem with normal trading and trading.
Suddenly, another person stopped everyone in their way. The paladin at the head glared on the spot: "What else do you want to sell?"
"Oh, I'm here to sell the strong training class," the man just smiled, "You just have to give money and you can get stronger!"
The paladin didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly he thought: "Oh, the strong training class?
The other party is modest: "General, general." β
"Then I'll test how strong you are!" the paladin stretched out his right hand, trying to grab the other man's collar.
The other party just smiled, grabbed the other party's wrist, took advantage of the situation, stretched his legs and tripped, and the paladin immediately fell and ate.
For a moment, the whole street fell silent. The people of the Church of Light were stunned, and the others on the street stopped in place as if they were frozen in frame. The air parrot hurriedly reports the sudden incident, and Jack trots all the way to Kevin, saying that there is a hidden powerhouse here who has knocked over the paladin.
Kevin was also taken aback, and rushed out the door without saying a word, hoping to catch up with the onlookers. At the same time, other observer groups slammed the door, and it was clear that Kevin was not the only one who got the news.
Here, the paladin slowly got up from the ground, his face had become very serious, but he didn't mean to be annoyed: "Okay, I admit that I was careless." But you're very capable. β
The other party just laughed dryly: "I am a training teacher who runs a class, and I don't mean to offend anyone." β
"I'm curious, how could such a strong man fall to the point of swindling here?" asked the paladin.
"How can this be a swagger?" the other retorted, "You Church of Light speak responsibly. And you just have to give money, you can really get stronger!"
Paladins stared at each other, "How do you know that we are from the Church of Light?"
"You think you don't know you when you change your clothes?" the other laughed.
The paladin nodded: "Since you know that we are from the Church of Light, you can still let us train, presumably you are stronger than us?" β
"No, no, no," the other party waved his hand back again and again, "I don't accept it, only my students can practice with me, and only evil bastards are worthy of my lesson." You're neither, so I'm not going to take your compet. If you must fight, you can pay first. β
Paladin: "......"
"You Church of Light won't beat me up with a lot of people, right? The other party also added.
Everyone: "......"
"Since I don't pay the money, then I'll leave. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran, jumping off the wall. All the bright powerhouses just watched, and no one moved.
Kevin and the other foreign observer groups had just arrived at this time, but apparently there was no fight, and the bright powerhouses walked towards the hotel with a belly full of anger. The rest of the observation group did not disperse, apparently interested in the new hidden powerhouse.
This person Kevin has also seen and sold to Kevin, and he thinks he is just a passer-by if he doesn't look good, but he hides it so well?
The parrot had already flown in pursuit, and according to the parrot's report, he ended up in a grass hut that seemed to be his home. Opposite is the kobold's house, which is considered a slum even in this city. In addition, he did not burst out of vindictiveness, but his speed was very fast, and if it wasn't for the observation from above, I am afraid that the parrot would also be lost.
Kevin wanted to talk to him for a moment, but most of the time he had to pay for talking to him, and after this incident, I am afraid that there are many people who come to him, and if they have to pay...... Is this also a routine?
"How's it going?" asked Jack next to him.
"Forget it, let's continue to observe in secret. Kevin gave up on that plan.
The two returned to the hotel, and the front desk lady greeted them: "Two gentlemen, tomorrow is the end of the month, we will hold an auction here, are you interested in participating?"
"It's the end of the month?" Kevin nodded, then asked, "How many tickets?"
The front desk replied, "This time, as long as you are staying at our hotel, it will be free." β
"Free?" Kevin was surprised and simply asked, "Is there really no trap here?"
"How could it be? they are all from the observation groups of various countries, how dare we offend," the front desk lady laughed, "You must know that this auction has a rare opportunity, and there are rare artifacts appearing, as long as you auction it, you will become stronger!"
Kevin: "......"
