Chapter 709: Bazaar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hey, we have good business!”

While Amanda was in a trance, her team leader, a warrior named Clegg, thumped the table with a look of excitement.

“Eh? What happened?” Amanda raised her head and revealed a pair of blank eyes.

“Amanda! Mister Luhn here is willing to pay a thousand gold coins to employ us to enter the Demon Territory!” Clegg led Fang Yuan to his team with a look of excitement. “If we finish this, we can stop working and buy some land in the countryside for our retirement...”

To adventurers, even though a life full of excitement was splendid, if they did not carefully plan, their old age would be unusually sad and dreary; some of them could not even live to that moment.

Therefore, a few astute adventurers would save some money for an early retirement, purchase land in the countryside, and build a cottage for their retirement. This was the dream of nearly all the ordinary adventurers.

As for those powerful adventurers who managed to successfully become a lord or a baron after establishing a large team and obtaining the recognition and enlistment of great nobles, they were everyone’s idols.

“A thousand gold coins?!” Amanda’s entire body quivered as she focused her attention on this big client.

He was very young, around twenty years old. He looked very valiant, probably the second son of some knight’s family who was wandering about after reading many stories.

Amanda has seen a few of them before. Although they were not considered a group of wastrels, they would very quickly be subdued by cruel reality and run home crying to their mothers.

“But... going to the Demon Territory?” Amanda had a few doubts and subconsciously thought of the Sons of Purgatory.

But after careful sensing, she did not find a trace of divinity in his body and broke into laughter. I really am overthinking this...

“Then, Mister Luhn!” At this time, a male sorcerer said, “Although we’re very grateful to you for employing us, we still want to know your purpose in heading toward the Demon Territory. After all, it’s very dangerous there, and even we’re unable to ensure your safety.”

A client who was able to pay a thousand gold coins obviously came from a wealthy and important background. If an accident occurred to him, it would cause them a lot of trouble.

After all, a standard adventurer team and employment procedures had to go through the records of the Adventurer Society.

Some of them even had detailed information recorded about their families and addresses inside the Society. If anything happened, there would be no escape.

“That’s right, Mister Luhn!” Clegg straightforwardly rubbed his head. “Sorcerer Michael is right. We need to know your general purpose in order to formulate a plan more effectively and ensure your safety!”

“It’s like this, I’m an explorer.” Fang Yuan made an excited and passionate face. “I’ve always dreamed of exploring the world. Now that I’ve encountered a place like this, how could I forgo this opportunity to explore it to my heart’s content?”

As he was speaking, he showed a fascinated and dreamy look. “Furthermore, our king has given the order. If anyone is able to present a map of the Demon Territory, they can become a viscount!”

“Isn’t a viscount just a flashy but insubstantial court title?” Clegg’s pupils shrank. “That is a very big move. However, with the dangers of the Demon Territory, which kingdom can afford this reward?”

“Orchid Kingdom, very far out in the north. It was originally the Stan Duchy.” Fang Yuan did not even blink. “A war erupted there and the Noether Kingdom was overthrown.”

“I see.”

Sure enough, adventurers rarely cared much about events that happened far away. Clegg and Michael looked at each other and nodded.

I even prepared a lie about having the same name as the king, but he didn’t even ask...

Fang Yuan speechlessly looked at this.

“However, for a complete map, we need to walk through the entire Demon Territory. I’m afraid we can’t do this.” Amanda analyzed logically. “On the black market, even a map with a completion rate of 20% to 30% is sold at an astronomical price.”

“Human effort is the decisive factor!” Fang Yuan revealed a resolute look. “I’ve already purchased a portion of the map. If we’re lucky, a completion of half should be sufficient to exchange for a title.”

“Just half?”

Clegg and the team members looked at each other and implicitly nodded.

After so many adventurers had explored, although it was possible to encounter Evil Demons in the fringes, it was not very dangerous.

Clegg coughed and said seriously, “In that case, we’ll do it. I’ll draft the contract. Mister Luhn, if you have no objections after reading it, you can let the Adventurer Society here notarize and archive it. As for the compensation, we’ll require half first!”

“No problem!” Fang Yuan took out a small bag and poured out a few crystal-clear gems.

Although gold coins were already very valuable, it was still troublesome to carry around. Thus, high grade gems and pearls were used as substitutes.

“Michael!” Clegg saw a sapphire that was completely crystal-clear and his eyes instantly lit up. He then warily looked around before asking the sorcerer to go forward.

“Hmm, a very pure quality. This can be valued at five hundred gold coins...” Michael carefully identified. “Team Leader, I want to buy one of them!”

Gems were important ingredients for a lot of magic spells, and this ingredient was a bottomless pit for a sorcerer.

“No problem!” Clegg was evidently very satisfied with Fang Yuan’s forthrightness. “Respected Mister Luhn, please wait a moment. We will immediately go to the Society to notarize it. Also, my team needs to rest for just half a day. After they’ve purchased equipment, medicine, and rations, we can leave anytime!”

“Great!” Fang Yuan nodded and glanced at Amanda.

The power of divinity in this female archer was very thin, but had already reached the ‘limit’!

Inside this Demon Territory, there was a possibility that they would encounter unimaginable dangers.

Humans could obtain divinity through killing Evil Demons, while Evil Demons naturally could also obtain power of divinity from killing humans.

The entire Demon Territory is actually a giant poison cultivation pool. Only the strongest person or Evil Demon will survive until the end!

Fang Yuan’s eyes glistened.

Evidently, this female archer did not seem to possess such a quality.

However, if not for the assistance of divinity, she would perhaps have died during some adventure long ago, so it was not entirely harmful to her.

...

“This time going toward the Demon Territory, there’ll be a lot Flame Evil Demons. I’ll have to buy a batch of frost arrows!”

Amanda carried a long bow and shopped around casually in the bazaar after bidding farewell to her team..

Ah... Demon Territory. Is the fate of us Sons of Purgatory to die inside? She despondently thought about this.

Suddenly, her hair stood on end, as if she was a frog targeted by a snake.

“Can’t believe that I actually managed to meet one of my blood brothers here! Hehe...”

An icy cold voice rang out from behind as cold air directly blew into her ears.

It’s a Son of Purgatory!

Amanda’s pupils shrank. Trembling with fear, she turned around and immediately saw someone.

The other party looked like a normal warrior. A vertical scar starting below his left eye made him one-eyed and look very frightening.

Of course, most importantly was that rich divinity aura, nearly reaching the extent of a Quasi-Legend.

Such a person... If he wants to kill me, I’m afraid he just needs a short time...

Cold sweat immediately broke out. Luckily, this bazaar is a public area with many powers maintaining order and discipline. He won’t dare act rashly... However, he can ambush me or even monitor when I leave!

Her small team had received a task and was about to enter the depths of the Demon Territory.

In that dangerous hell, dead people were extremely commonplace.

Unfortunately, Amanda could not say anything about the Son of Purgatory.

“What do you want?” She lowered her voice and looked at this one-eyed man.

“Of course, I want to...” The one-eyed person licked his lips, but he suddenly froze as cold sweat trickled down, similar to Amanda earlier. “This...”

Through the perception of the bloodline, the two Sons of Purgatory saw a figure dressed in black.

The other’s entire body was enveloped inside a pitch-black cloak, and even the gender could not be discerned. The person indifferently glanced over, as if he was looking at two ants.

However, this glance nearly made Amanda and the one-eyed man collapse.

“Strong... too powerful. How can there be such strong divinity in this world!”

After a long time, the one-eyed man finally regained his composure and gasped in a low voice, “He’s definitely a Legend, or even higher than a Legend!”

His entire body shivered, not even daring to look at the person in the black cloak before he squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

Amanda’s limbs were cold. When she finally plucked up her courage after much difficulty and looked toward the person in the black cloak, she realized that there was already no trace of them.

Another one... Luckily, he seems not too interested in our insignificant amount of divinity!

Amanda’s legs felt weak, and after panting for a while, she gathered herself and left.

...

At the same time, the currently resting Fang Yuan suddenly looked in Amanda’s direction and revealed a smile. “Another two Sons of Purgatory appeared?”

“One of them was just a Quasi-Legend, but the other one was... a God!”

At the beginning, after Jay was first obtained the Death Godhood and apotheosized, the Gods’s descent gave all of the Extraordinaries and Legends a chance.

Especially the Sons of Purgatory that were fundamentally unable to obtain the recognition of the world’s will, obtaining it through slaughter was their only route.

“This Son of Purgatory had good luck and actually managed to find the true body of the Slaughter God, becoming successful in one strike!”

Although the Slaughter God was not one of the Nine Pillar Gods, he was still an experienced God with powerful abilities and unlimited Godhood potential. He even complimented well with the personality of the Sons of Purgatory.

Generally speaking, he was much better than weaklings like the Joy Goddess.

Of course, this Son of Purgatory mastering the Slaughter Godhood helped Fang Yuan absorb the rules of the world regarding slaughter to his heart’s content.
