Evil God? My servants are players!

The Ice Adventurers wandered aimlessly down the street when they encountered a patrol of goblins.

"God gave you two hands, and you used them both to wield weapons. I respect you."

"The guards might get nervous when a woman carrying a weapon walks by..."

"I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee."

The goblins speak broken Common Tongue, not because they have learned it, but because it is a rule set up by Gigur to improve the goblins' friendliness.

After all, Giligur wanted to try to integrate the goblins into the community.

Of course, the content of the common language was kindly provided by the goblin strategist, Travel Frog.

When the goblins tried to talk to them, the Frost Adventurers simply nodded to indicate that they had heard them, and no one tried to approach them.

Because they knew these goblins didn't understand Common Tongue.

"This is the first time I've ever known that goblins can talk," the warrior said, watching the goblins disappear into the distance.

"Related studies have shown that dungeon goblins generally have higher intelligence than surface goblins, and they have a simple language system."

"But goblin languages ​​are not only difficult to study, but different goblin groups also speak different languages, so very few people understand what goblins are saying."

Luna, who was hanging on Sasha's head, explained.

At this moment, Sasha put on a specially made hat with a SIM card slot on it.

"Really? Sister, you are truly knowledgeable." Sasha carefully flattered her.

"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you said that! How many times have I told you! Don't get too close to them!"

Luna got angry as soon as Sasha spoke, after all, Sasha had joined Shen Yuan's camp behind her back.

Fortunately, after questioning, Luna discovered that the Ice Adventure Team had only joined in name and had not been exposed to any secret knowledge, nor had they joined the Hyacinth Church.

Therefore, Luna's emotions are still just at the level of anger.

"It's all because you always keep things to yourself..." Sasha complained in a low voice.

But the phone was right above Sasha's head, so Luna could hear everything clearly.

"I'm doing this to protect you! Why are you so disobedient!"

"Luckily, you didn't seem to have gotten any crucial information! Otherwise, you would have ended up like me!"

"So stop doing those things behind my back!"

It's said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and Sasha was scolded by Luna until she was like a little chick.

As for when Luna will be allowed to leave? Although Shen Yuan has released a lot of information, Luna cannot leave for the time being.

Because she knew about and witnessed the resurrection ceremony.

From Luna's words, Shen Yuan also learned that resurrection was absolutely impossible; even the gods who controlled death and life could not achieve it.

This is why Shen Yuan did not attempt to take over the bodies of the dead townspeople. Collecting a large number of corpses would not only leave a bad impression but also attract attention.

If Luna is released and then leaks this information, something terrible will definitely happen.

So for now, we can only put Luna through this ordeal a little longer. We'll release her once Shen Yuan has truly established himself on the surface.

As for the player and the goblin, one had his mouth controlled by Shen Yuan, and the other couldn't speak the Common Language.

They are all relatively easy to control. Just pay a little attention to them and have the hyacinth remind the goblins.

"So what's next? Those resurrected ones may seem silly, but they become vague when it comes to key questions."

The thief's words interrupted Luna's reprimand.

Seeing that her teammates remained loyal to her, Luna sighed deeply and tried to dissuade them:

"You guys should just continue being adventurers honestly. You don't need to keep thinking about saving me. The water here is deeper than the gods."

"That won't do. We've invested all our working capital here. How can we just leave like that?" the thief retorted.

However, when money was mentioned, the soldier suddenly remembered something.

"Didn't Lady Veronica say she would give us payment? Why haven't she given it to us yet?"

"Veronica also said her money is in Sarion, so she only tells half the story, right? She'll only receive her payment after this strange city defense magic is lifted."

The thief glanced at the warrior with disdain and replied.

"But when will Lady Veronica be able to remove this city defense magic circle? I'm so tired of drinking mushroom soup every day."

The pastor leaned on his scepter, speaking weakly.

"You should be grateful to have something to eat, stop complaining," Sasha replied.

When it comes to food, Luna is too embarrassed to chime in, since it's obvious to everyone that she's gained quite a bit of weight recently.

But seeing the priest's pitiful state, Luna still said:

"If you're craving something sweet, I can have Hyacinth bring you some food."

"Really?! Captain, you're so kind! I'll definitely get you out!"

"You! Sigh~ Never mind."

Just as the Ice Adventurers were chatting, the city's protective magic circle suddenly began to shake violently.

"What happened?!" the soldier asked, drawing his weapon.

"Someone is attacking the city's protective magic circle from the outside," Luna explained with a grave expression.

"Look! It's Veronica!" Sasha pointed to Veronica soaring into the sky.

Veronica also had a solemn expression on her face.

It seems that some forces within the Empire have taken notice of the situation in Hamlet Town.

Moreover, judging from the reaction of the city's protective magic circle, the newcomer is extremely powerful.

Although that person might not be able to break the city's protective magic circle.

But Veronica still needed to check the situation, to find out who the visitor was and what their purpose was in coming to Hamlet Town.

Veronica then went to the city wall, even though messages and energy could not pass through the city's protective magic circle.

But you can still vaguely see what's inside and outside through the magic circle.

Veronica's heart finally settled down after she saw who it was.

The visitor breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Veronica.

"Master!" Veronica cried out from inside the protective magic circle.

The visitor was an elderly woman with white hair, who looked to be about 70 years old.

The old woman was dressed in a pure white priestess robe from the Church of Holy Light, adorned with red ribbons, giving her a very high-ranking appearance.

Although Veronica was shouting happily inside the protective magic circle, the old woman outside didn't hear a thing.

It wasn't that the old woman was hard of hearing due to her age, but rather that the protective magic circle of the city blocked out the sound.

However, the old woman could still make out what her apprentice was saying from Veronica's lip movements.

So the old woman opened her mouth and mouthed the same words as Veronica.

"Are you... alright...?" Veronica understood the old woman's meaning, and the two of them began to communicate with difficulty.

"I'm fine," Veronica replied.

"What's with this city defense magic? Are you trapped?"

It took Veronica a while to understand what that sentence meant.

The troublesome communication made Veronica consider disabling the city's defensive magic.

However, it is indeed time. The reconstruction of Hamlet has progressed to this point, and the townspeople's emotions and lives have once again stabilized.

Moreover, it's unreasonable to rely solely on supplies from the dungeon.

Veronica had asked Hyacinth about it, and Hyacinth also said that the dungeon had plenty of supplies.

However, the supplies changed from bread to mushroom soup, which made Veronica realize that the dungeon's supplies might not last long.

Activating the city's protective magic sooner will allow us to begin being self-sufficient as soon as possible.

However, one thing has been troubling Veronica, making her reluctant to activate the city's protective magic.

That's money.

As long as the city's protective magic remains unactivated, Hamlet Town will remain in a state of emergency, giving Veronica a reason not to pay.
