Chapter 222: Gossip
Pate deeply agreed with Miranda’s statement.
"If you become a lord, you will be responsible for testing new believers for the Lord."
“As the scale of Seeking Knowledge Church expands, we will definitely have to do a good job in screening!”
"We definitely cannot recommend those guys who are sneaky and sneaky, or who want to rely on the Lord's blessings to dominate others, or even use the blessings to do bad things!"
"The teachings of the great God of Knowledge encourage us to explore the unknown and solve difficulties through our own efforts, rather than letting us use His blessings to dominate!"
"The Lord has given us such an important responsibility, and we must do our best!"
"..."
At this stage, there are only three believers who meet the requirements to apply for the lord election, that is, meet the [regional reputation] standards.
Peter Chinner;
Miranda Warren;
Hugo Seavey.
The three men achieved regional fame in almost completely different ways.
Pet's job was to lead new people. If any new believer encountered trouble, he would find a way to help solve it. He would organize a free team to hunt monsters at every turn.
It can be said that the believers in the Misty Valley have now reached a consensus to a certain extent.
If you have any difficulty or something you don't understand, just go to Mr. Peter Chinner. He will definitely be enthusiastic to help.
Miranda relies on her selflessness.
She is really serious about following the teachings of the two gods, the God of Radiance and the God of Knowledge, helping others without expecting anything in return.
Especially in terms of treatment, new believers are all refugees and will inevitably have some diseases or old injuries. Miranda will proactively provide them with treatment.
Goblin Hugo, simply because his mind is flexible enough, he not only recruited a large number of new believers, but also opened up business routes for reselling equipment, which made a great contribution to the development and construction of the territory!
Believers are now seeing patterns too.
[Regional reputation] actually corresponds to the "reputation" of that believer.
The greater the good reputation, the higher the [regional reputation] will be.
…
After thinking about it, all three of them applied for lord status!
It exactly corresponds to the 3 places released by Noven.
Peter chose the territory closer to the dark crypt, Miranda was near the entrance of the Misty Valley, and Hugo was naturally the one closest to the Kingdom of Leyak.
The three stalker killers who failed in their assassination but were caught instead had arrangements made!
Hugo backhandedly issued a commission to the three assassins who assassinated him.
"Go to the border defense line, or near Ceylon City, or within Ceylon Territory, and spread the news."
"New territory has been opened up near the Misty Valley."
"Adventurers who are active in the dark forest can come here to replenish food, drinking water, various adventure supplies, weapons, equipment, purchase monster materials, and provide temporary shelter!"
“When spreading the news, leave a secret code to the adventurers: Seek for the Passage, and tell them that anyone who comes to the new territory near the Misty Valley can receive a free piece of food by reporting the secret code, limited to 100 servings, while supplies last. "
"The deposit is 50 silver coins. If 100 people come to report the password, you can come to me to receive the subsequent 2.5 gold reward."
The elusive nature of stalkers is perfect for spreading such gossip.
The adventurers communicate closely with each other.
Hugo believed that as long as the news spreads and someone comes to find out that the situation is true, the "grapevine" will soon spread from one to ten and spread rapidly.
There is no legal problem!
The heretic expulsion order issued by the Glow God Cult is to prevent the followers of the Seeking Church from entering the Kingdom of Leyak.
The territory in the dark forest certainly does not fall into this category!
Moreover, the blacksmith business established by Mullen no longer has to secretly transport equipment to the border, but also faces "hostile competition" with equipment merchants in Ceylon.
Just open a store in the Church of Knowledge’s own territory and wait for adventurers to come and buy it!
If you're not convinced, come over and smash up the store if you can?
Moreover, Hugo is quite vindictive. Now that he is restricted by conditions, he cannot go directly to Ceylon City to seek revenge from those equipment dealers, but that does not mean that the matter will be settled like this!
He remembered the revenge of the assassination.
…
The three stalker killers were relieved when they learned that they no longer had to die and had new employers.
They all expressed their gratitude with tears of gratitude and tears.
"Don't worry!"
"We promise to do it!"
"Thank you for your kindness in not killing me. We are so good at talking about money. We are willing to help for free to make up for the previous misunderstanding about the assassination!"
They were so nervous when they missed the assassination attempt and were caught.
Because most of the time, the stalker fails in the assassination, and even if he sells his employer, he may not be able to save his life.
Still the same sentence.
The Rogue's first-mover advantage in conducting assassinations and sneak attacks is simply too huge.
Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves.
When you already know that a stalker has murderous intentions towards you, what if after you let him go, this guy turns around and comes back to assassinate you?
It’s not easy to be detained.
Stalkers are not only good at sneaking, but they are also good at sliding doors, picking locks, and escaping from restraints. Especially stalkers above level 3. Unless they have an overwhelming advantage, it is easy for them to seize the opportunity and slip away.
Most people would simply choose to kill them outright, once and for all, and solve the problem once and for all.
The reason why Hugo didn't kill them and let them go.
One is that he is not afraid of death at all.
The worst thing you can do is lose some experience points, just spend 100 destiny points to resurrect.
Another reason is that this is a level 3 stalker!
There are currently no Level 3 Rogues in the Church of Knowledge!
This kind of guy who takes money to accept commissions can be a help if used properly.
Hugo is a goblin, a goblin who can value money more than his own life when necessary.
Killing him directly would be too wasteful for him!
…
Very quickly.
Near Ceylon's No. 3 Defense Line, a rumor began to spread from an unknown source.
With the arrival of the Hunting Month, the adventurers gathered here discussed and exchanged information in the makeshift tavern.
The tavern is very small, just a temporary hut built with some materials. If there is a storm, it will be blown down directly.
What is sold inside is the cheapest and poorest quality low-grade ale, but because it is located on the border defense line, a large cup of ale that originally costs 1 copper coin has to be sold here for 10 copper coins.
Despite this, the adventurers have no other choice but to make do here.
After all, after they entered the dark forest, let alone the tavern, it would be nice to have clean water to drink!
“Hey, hey, have you heard about it?”
"Someone has opened up a new territory in the dark forest!"
"Adventurers are welcome to go there to replenish food and water, and provide a safe overnight residence. I heard that weapons can be maintained and repaired."
"Ah? Where did the news come from?"
"I don't know! I also heard other people discussing it!"
"Is this rumor...reliable?"
