Chapter 108 The Salvation Army and the Hero (4,000 words)

the other side.

A certain toadman is looking for a thieves' guild.

According to the information, the headquarters of thieves' guilds are usually located in the city's sewers.

Those things that are out in the open are investigated every day.

If someone is a thief, how can they be a good person?

As for how to find the headquarters.

The toad people have their own unique methods.

That means if you encounter someone who's ugly, you'll go up to them and ask, "Do you know where the Thieves' Guild is?"

This isn't just wild speculation; it's based on scientific evidence.

After all, people who are ugly and deformed have a particularly high probability of being members of the Thieves Guild.

If someone looks like shit, they're very likely the leader of the Thieves Guild.

Although this method can easily get you beaten up.

But I have to say, it's fast!

When the third person was asked, a strange expression appeared on their face.

"Who are you? What do you want? Are you a spy for the kingdom?"

The toad-man quickly replied, "No, no. I just wanted to go to the Thieves' Guild to gather some information and maybe buy some intelligence."

'

The toad-man secretly slipped a coin to the triangular-eyed man in front of him.

The man looked at the toad-man more closely before nodding.

"You don't look like a spy. Spies aren't as weak as you. Come with me!"

The toad-man nodded repeatedly.

Looks like I'm having a lucky day; I've finally found my people.

He might get the information much faster than Brother Ning.

After wandering through streets and alleys and circling around several times, the man indeed led the toad-man down into the sewer.

Continuing onward, the complex sewer system resembled a spider web, almost driving me crazy.

An iron gate came into view, with two burly men standing at the entrance, watching the arriving man and the toad-man.

"Hyena, you've brought new recruits again?"

The man nodded and said, "Business is tough these days. It's rare for someone to come to me. And it seems to be a big job."

"A big job? Interesting!"

The burly man opened the door and let the man and the toad-man in.

The toad-man was already sensing something was wrong. What big job was it?

He hasn't even asked anything yet, how come he's already talking about big things?

Do not understand!

But having already come this far, it seemed too late to turn back, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and push forward.

As soon as he entered, the toadman saw that everyone in the entire Thieves Guild was staring intently at him, their gazes seemingly penetrating his helmet and seeing right through to his face.

It had pierced through his toad body, just like a monster falling into a trap.

Slowly, the toadman walked toward the Thieves' Guild counter, where a woman sat playing with a dagger, waiting for him.

"Uh, um, I need information on a powerful monster, the more detailed the better!"

As soon as the toad-man finished speaking, the woman in front of him laughed.

"Information about powerful monsters? What do you need that for? Aren't you a monster yourself?"

After he finished speaking, everyone around him stood up and laughed.

At the same time, the woman flicked her dagger and knocked off the toad-man's helmet, revealing the toad's head.

"What are you doing? What do you want? I'm not a monster, I'm a hero, a hero who's here to save you!"

The toad-man was a little flustered. He hadn't expected to be tricked as soon as he entered the city, and he didn't even understand what was going on.

To ensure the toad-man died knowing why, the woman pulled out a bounty poster.

"100,000 gold coins bounty: Humanoid toad monster who speaks human language. It's you, isn't it? You look exactly like the person in the bounty!"

The toad-man was even more astonished when he saw the bounty poster.

How could it be so fast?

The Demon King's pursuit speed was even faster than an electric scooter; it was astonishing.

That's terrifying!

"You are all the Demon King's lackeys! As expected, the empire has already fallen. You deserve to die; you shouldn't have entered the great city."

The toad-man was furious, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

The people around immediately laughed even louder.

He called us the Demon King's lackeys!

"How ridiculous! He's a monster, yet he calls himself a hero. Everyone else is just the Demon King's lackey!"

"Look carefully, this is the Empire's bounty."

"Why waste words with him? Take him down!"

A light shone from everyone, and paladin aura and magic simultaneously filled the entire Thieves Guild headquarters.

"We're doomed!"

The toad-man knew his own limitations.

How could someone who hasn't learned any skills possibly survive being besieged by this group?

"Brother Ning!"

The toad-man's final, desperate cry.

He believed he was doomed this time.

But the next moment, a soft shout rang out from a corner of the Thieves' Guild.

"Holy Light!"

The white light immediately filled the entire venue, blinding everyone.

Everyone unleashed their skills, attempting to keep the troublemaker in.

But when the white light dissipated, they found that the toad monster had vanished without a trace. Only the Thieves' Guild gate remained open, and the burly guard at the entrance was already unconscious.

"Who did this?! How dare they steal from me! I'll skin you alive!"

"Such intense holy light, it might be from the Knights of Light."

"No, it's even stronger than the Knights of Light. Could it be—the Salvation Army!"

Upon hearing the words "Salvation Army," everyone present fell silent, no longer daring to shout for war.

After all, the Salvation Army is notorious on this continent.

A moment later, the toadman was led into a room.

I'm glad I'm still alive, but things seem to be getting more complicated now.

A blonde beauty sat before me, with an alluring figure and a cold gaze.

She stared at the toad-man, took out the bounty poster, and said coldly, "Speak, why would the Empire pay such a high price for you? Tell me everything you know, you monster!"

The toad-man shouted, "I am not a monster, I am a hero, a hero from the realm of gods, croak!"

"Roast him!"

The blonde beauty only heard one sentence before deciding to roast the toad.

The toad-man quickly shouted again, "Believe me, believe me! Look into my sincere eyes, croak!"

His toad-like eyes blinked, which made the blonde beauty wave her hand, telling him to get lost.

Seeing that he had just escaped the tiger's den only to be put on the barbecue grill again, the toad man finally began to tell the truth.

"I obtained the divine armor of an ancient hero, so the Demon King is hunting me down, and the empire has put a bounty on my head. Look, I'm wearing the divine armor of an ancient hero!"

Upon hearing this, the blonde beauty finally stood up, and the other armored knights immediately stepped forward to hold the toad man down again.

The blonde beauty reached out to touch the armor on the toad-man's body.

With a flash of golden light, countless law patterns appeared on the armor of the toad-man.

Finally, the blonde woman's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Release him! Such immense demonic energy! What else do you know?"

The toad-man solemnly declared, "I also know that the blood of powerful demons can restore my divine armor; even the Demon King can't defeat me. Oh, and I told you I'm the destined hero, right? Ribbit!"

"Destined? The armor of a hero!"

The blonde beauty's eyes sparkled continuously.

I'll trust you this once!

The toad-man breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he probably wouldn't die.

He looked around and asked softly, "Excuse me, where is this place? And who are you?"

The blonde beauty replied, "This is the Salvation Army's safe house. I am the leader of the Salvation Army; you can call me Saintess!"

"Oh, the Salvation Army!"

The toad-man nodded.

Then he asked in a low voice, "What does the Salvation Army do?"

"Defeat the Demon King and restore peace to the continent."

The blonde beauty gently waved, and the knight beside her took out a map and handed it to the toad-man.

"Since you are a hero and know how to defeat the Demon King, then it's up to you to show your skills. If you can defeat the Demon King, then you can have anything you want."

The toad-man laughed upon hearing this, "Really? That's great! I want you, okay? Ribbit ribbit ribbit."

The blonde beauty stared at him, while the other knights around him drew their weapons, their blades gleaming coldly.

"Just kidding, just kidding. How can you have no sense of humor at all?"

The blonde beauty looked at the toad-man and said solemnly, "Okay!"

The toad-man was stunned.

Does this work too?

This actually works?

Holy crap, I think I didn't ask for enough!

Can we do it again?

"By the way, there's another monster wanted along with you. What is it?"

The blonde beauty then produced another arrest warrant.

The toad-man quickly said, "This is my brother, a hero who wields an indestructible sword. Together, we are invincible! Croak!"

The blonde woman frowned.

"You mean, you two not only stole the Hero's Armor, but also the Hero's Sword?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

The blonde woman's eyes flickered again, but in the end she didn't say anything, only saying to the knight beside her, "Find him, alive."

"yes!"

The knight departed.

The blonde beauty then looked at the toad-man and said, "We will help you. This includes finding powerful monsters and killing them. There's only one condition: you must kill the Demon King."

"Absolutely! Quack!"

The toad-man patted his chest and guaranteed it.

"Do you dare to make a solemn oath?"

The blonde beauty stood up again and said.

"What's there to be afraid of? Come on then."

The toad-man remained fearless, unafraid of any oaths, for he was not originally from this world.

Seeing that the other party wasn't even afraid of a solemn oath, the blonde beauty's last shred of doubt vanished completely.

So now there are only two possibilities!

Firstly, this toad-man is indeed the hero they have been waiting for.

But if it's the second one, then it's a bit troublesome.

the other side.

A certain rice cooker is still running rampant in the city, attracting the attention of many people.

"Catch that monster!"

"Catch him!"

"Don't let him get away!"

-

The pursuers were covered in rice and blood, their faces badly disfigured.

They've all clearly experienced the power of rice cookers!

Trying to catch this rice cooker hero is simply wishful thinking.

Quickly turn into a small alley, and the rice cooker transforms into a hero!

In an instant, the refrigerator stood still, its hands and feet retracted.

The group of pursuers ran past the refrigerator, unaware of the strange thing that had suddenly appeared in the alley.

Only one of the slowest pursuers, panting, stopped in front of the refrigerator.

Then I discovered something unusual here.

"What is this?"

He reached out, opened the refrigerator, and saw a delicious roast chicken, its aroma filling the air.

"Is there any food?"

The man was astonished; could he really find food here?

Just as he was about to reach for it, the "white box" in front of him suddenly grew arms and legs, then pushed his head inside and slammed the door shut.

Done in two quick moves, the refrigerator hurried off.

"It's here!"

"It's turned into a block again!"

"Damn monster, I think I just saw it eat someone!"

The refrigerator should run away quickly.

Suddenly, I realized that someone seemed to be chasing me from both the front and the back.

Why are there so many people in this dilapidated city? Let's turn into other alleys.

Suddenly, the refrigerator saw a dilapidated house and an open door. Without any hesitation, it rushed inside.

Quickly close the door; the refrigerator is blocking the doorway, giving us a moment to catch our breath.

But then, the refrigerator saw a group of children in the dilapidated house.

He was dressed in rags, was emaciated, and had messy yellow hair on his head, clearly suffering from malnutrition.

The children looked at the refrigerator with fear. The oldest child, who was seven or eight years old, picked up a rusty dagger and pointed it at the refrigerator.

"Quickly," the refrigerator said to them. "I'm not a monster, I'm a good person."

Talk is cheap; the refrigerator immediately opened its door and tossed them a roast chicken.

Upon seeing the food and smelling the aroma, the children immediately swarmed around and began dividing the meat.

At that moment, the pursuers arrived.

After kicking the door several times without breaking it, he ran to the window and asked the children inside, "Kids, have you seen a box monster?"

The oldest child hid the meat in his hand and then pointed in another direction.

The people outside then quickly left.

huh~~

The refrigerator breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not that we can't beat them, it's just that there are too many of them. If we fight one after another, the Knights of Light from the city will probably arrive soon.

Ning Du did not want to die before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow.

"Thanks!"

Ningdu said to these children.

Then I gave them all the food in the refrigerator.

"sword!"

One of the children pointed to the iron sword in Ningdu's refrigerator, as if he wanted it.

Ning Du waved his hand, saying that they couldn't have this.

"No, no, no, this is the hero's sword. You can't take it!"

The child said "oh" and continued eating.

The eldest child stepped forward, holding a dagger, and said, "You can go through the back; there's a tunnel we've dug there."

The child pointed behind them, and Ning Du then noticed that there was indeed a fairly large tunnel behind them, covered with a tattered cloth that they had found somewhere.

With a soft chuckle, Ning Du touched himself again.

Damn it, where did I lose that quest guide? It cost me two silver coins!

"What are you looking for?"

The child asked softly.

Ning Du replied, "I've lost the complete list of quests at the Adventurer's Tavern."

2

Upon hearing this, the child quickly replied, "I can find it for you. But you still have to give us food."

Upon hearing about food, the other children looked at Ningdu again.

Ning Du's spirits lifted; these kids seemed quite confident.

What are you people doing?

Ning Du had just asked the question.

The child in the lead replied, "We are city searchers, or city intelligence agents."

Ning Du understood, "Little beggar!"

After thinking for a moment, Ningdu patted himself and said, "If you help me with the work, I'll make sure you have plenty of food and drink."

"good!"

The leader of the children readily agreed, then asked, "So, what should we call you?"

Ning Du replied with a smile, "Just call me Hero."
