Zongman, the journey begins from the wrong place

Regardless of whether it was done with malice or good intentions, the presence of that gaze was extremely strong.

It's like being stared at by some dangerous wild animal, and the body will react unconsciously.

She couldn't tell what attitude the owner of that gaze had towards them.

But the owner of this gaze must be very dangerous, the blond elf was certain of that.

"Hey! Stupid elf! What are you slacking off for?"

The long-haired beauty in a kimono who was chopping meat with a skillful knife next to him looked pitiful, but when she opened her mouth, the texture contained in her beautiful voice made people feel rude and mean.

The blond elf, who would normally retort upon hearing this, rarely did so this time, his azure eyes still scanning the crowd warily.

"Wait, Kaguya, I don't want to argue with you right now. I just felt like someone was watching us. I wonder if it was from the Dark Faction."

Hearing this, the girl in kimono narrowed her eyes slightly, and her dangerous gaze like a knife blade swept across the crowd.

However, after a few rounds, the crowd was still so noisy and crowded, and there was nothing unusual at all. She couldn't help but look away and looked at the blonde elf suspiciously.

"Hey, you're not in heat and can't get satisfied, so you have fantasies, right?"

No matter how good-tempered the blonde elf was, he couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this.

Not to mention suspecting that there was a dark faction lurking in secret, even if the one-eyed black dragon descended, she would have to fight with this poisonous woman first!

"Hey! Kaguya! You bastard! You want to fight?!"

"Huh? You think you can beat me?"

The people around were not afraid of the scene before them, but showed excitement. Some even wanted to applaud and cheer.

After all, how many things in this world could be more exciting than watching beautiful girls fight each other up close?

I can only say that people should not eat too much, otherwise it is hard to imagine how miserable they would be.

At the critical moment, a girl with a red ponytail and a cheerful smile squeezed in between the two of them and stopped the fight that was about to happen.

"Alright, alright, Kaguya and Ryu, you two were fine, why are you suddenly arguing again? You know, the Loki Familia and the guild elders are watching us. Doing this will make the Astralia Familia lose points!"

Kaguya flicked her sleeves gracefully, turned around and started cutting ingredients.

The blond elf named Liu Liang looked at the leader with his eyebrows raised in displeasure.

"Alyse! I'm telling you, Kaguya..."

After the story was told, Alisee Rauffel roughly understood what had happened and subconsciously glanced at the crowd.

After noticing anything unusual, she raised her flat chest under the armor and waved at Liu.

"You must be overthinking it, Ryu. After all, as a world-class beauty, it's normal for people to look at me twice! It's just a pity, I still have to fight for Astralia's justice! I can't respond to their feelings!"

Looking at the captain who was so excited, so complacent, and then fell into regret and sighing, not only was Kaguya speechless, but even Ryu had completely forgotten what happened just now, and a black line appeared on his fair forehead.

However, Alisha was not aware of this at all. Instead, her eyes lit up when she caught a glimpse of an emerald figure from the corner of her eye.

She flipped over from the table and ran straight out of the stall.

"Ah! Isn't this Lady Nine Demons?! Long time no see... Eh? Who is this little sister?"

Looking at the leader who completely lost himself when he met the famous first-level adventurer in the city, the blond elf and the kimono girl who were about to fight just now looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Northeast of the city, third district.

Perhaps it was because of the charity meals and the crowds of passersby, but the surrounding area seemed a little quiet, and even the noisy sounds from the North District seemed quite far away.

In a quiet and deserted alley, Noah stopped and touched his somewhat empty stomach.

Sighing, he decided to get rid of the trouble quickly so he could find time to get something to eat.

"Come out, how long are you going to follow me?"

The cold voice, accompanied by the strong midday wind, slowly echoed in the quiet alley.

As the sound faded, the sound of strong footsteps of hard leather shoes stepping on the stone slabs of the city slowly sounded.

Beast-like eyes slowly emerged in the darkness, and the hair appeared a bright and dazzling light red under the sunlight. The man was wearing a torn sweatshirt and leather pants.

"Hey, kid, I'm sure you've never appeared in Orario before. Are you new here? I'm quite curious about you."

Valetta Grede glanced at the silver-haired boy in front of her with a seemingly frivolous but actually serious look.

As one of the most important cadres in the dark faction, although she was given the title of "Killing Emperor" because of her crazy bloodthirsty murderous intent, she is actually the one with the most brains and leadership ability in the dark faction.

If not, she would not have been able to survive the many battles with the 'brave' Finn from the 'dark period' seven years ago to the present.

A few days ago, after learning that Thanatos had failed in his attempt to seduce the 'Puppet Princess', a well-known newcomer to the Loki Familia, and was attacked by an unknown swordsman suspected to be level 4 during his retreat, Valetta began his investigation.

After all, when the Zeus and Hera families were defeated, and there was only one level 6 warrior, Ota, from Freya's family, in the entire city, and the guild had no more than ten level 5 warriors on record, an adventurer with unknown record but at least level 4 could potentially turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

While arranging people to search for and monitor adventurers with similar conditions in the city, he also activated the intelligence network to see if there were any new forces entering Orarium.

But, how to say it?

Because he had a preconceived notion that the other party was targeting the dark faction, Valetta arranged to search for various hidden places in the city, but after three or four days, there was no result.

It wasn't until a member of the dark faction saw Noah on the street that she suddenly realized what was going on and her face became serious.

Going against the grain, it seems that the opponent this time is not simple.

So, along the way, Varetta had already prepared various situations in his mind.

She decided that no matter what happened, she would remain calm.

"Newcomer? Compared to you, I am indeed a newcomer, old woman."

Noah glanced sideways at Valetta.

"You are interested in me, but I have no interest in you. Anyway, you are just a heretic like that perverted purple-haired man, blaspheming and using the name of the God of Death—"

11 Valletta: Finally found the external brain!

"what?"

Valetta had to admit that she lost.

Although she had clearly decided to remain absolutely calm no matter what happened during this operation, the silver-haired boy still managed to make her unable to suppress her murderous intent with just one sentence.

There was clearly no screw in her brain, but she seemed to hear a clicking sound, as if something had broken.

She, Valetta Grede, is a woman!

Even though she is a murderer, Valetta is still a woman!

The Dark Faction is not a certain church that emphasizes abstinence and the erosion of personal will. On the contrary, it is about indulging in desires.

As long as a woman has grown out of her ignorance, from the age of nine to ninety, she will not like to be called an old woman!

So Valetta almost wanted to draw his sword and kill the young man in front of him.

However, after hearing his second sentence, Valetta forced her hand back.

Because although the tone of that sentence was light, the arrogance and fanaticism contained in it was very familiar to Valetta.

There's no mistake. Isn't that the pious tone that members of their dark faction often use when they swear an oath or pray?

Could it be that this silver-haired boy is also a member of the dark faction?

And it’s a faction of the main god that he doesn’t know?

Valetta didn't think there was anything wrong with his guess.

First of all, there are many main gods in the world of gods, and many of them are unknown to other gods. I am afraid that even the great god Uranus cannot know all the main gods.

Perhaps outside the city, there is a main god whose ideas are very similar to those of the dark faction. He trained his own clan and then sent them back to Orario.

Secondly, since they are all the main gods of the dark faction, it is normal for them to hide for a while.

At least only Valetta knew that there was another mastermind in the dark faction named Enyo. Not only had she only heard of him but never seen him, even the other dark gods had probably never seen him.

Finally and most importantly, the silver-haired boy's madness in daring to attack other gods is very consistent with the temperament of the members of their dark faction.

In this era where gods are the absolute center, almost no one dares to disrespect them.

Those who dare to attack the gods, or even kill them, are rare even among the dark factions.

Compared with the daring act of killing gods, attacking people from the same dark faction camp is nothing - when Valetta was angry, he had killed many of his own members who were extremely stupid and hopeless.

Thinking of this, Valetta restrained herself and remained calm.

"Boy, does your Lord God also have the same beliefs as us?"

Noah widened his eyes as if insulted, staring at Valetta sternly and with murderous intent.

"Don't fuck with you guys! In this world, the only one who has the power to wield the power of death and is called the God of Death is me! The rest are all heretics! One day I will execute all of you heretics!"

Although he was threatened blatantly, the murderous intent in Valetta's heart dissipated, and he even felt like laughing.

It's confirmed that this guy is a member of the dark faction.

And he was a fanatic who was more extreme, more fanatical, and more crazy than herself, or even than any member of the dark faction she had ever met.

That belief was so devout and extreme that it could not even tolerate other dark gods who also held the power of death.

After all, Valetta had heard many times that heretics were more hateful than pagans.

Thinking of this, Valetta's mind became active, and the way he looked at the silver-haired boy also changed.

No one knows that Valletta is very miserable because he is surrounded by a bunch of stupid teammates!

If half of the intelligence of the Urban Guild was provided by Finn Timna, then Valetta provided at least two-thirds of the intelligence of the Dark Faction!

What's more, even if the people from other clans lack brains, at least they won't hold Finn back.

In the dark faction full of lunatics, those who can execute the plan well and not go berserk in the middle are considered elite members, let alone participate in the formulation of the plan.

Valletta really needs a smart teammate to lighten the burden!

Hostility is not a problem. Didn’t Loki’s family and Freya’s family almost fight each other when they met?

Nowadays, we are not afraid of god-like opponents, but we are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Because smart people can make transactions and make predictions, but stupid people are completely unpredictable when they act stupidly!

Hmm! Let's test it out!

"Eliminate us? These kids these days are hilarious. They know nothing, yet they dare to speak so brazenly. Even the city guild wouldn't dare to say such a thing!"

As if feeling indignant at being looked down upon, Noah snorted and raised his chin slightly.

"That's just their sheer stupidity. They knew your weaknesses were right in front of them, but they didn't know how to address them."

Valetta raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh? You know that? You're not just guessing, are you?"

"Guess? That's hilarious! First of all, where does your food come from? The only ones who can evade the guild's inspection and replenish your supplies are those fat-headed idiots!"

Valetta's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips curled into a crescent shape.

Although Orario prospers thanks to its monopoly on magic stone craftsmanship, it cannot escape the inherent drawbacks of big cities. That is, due to insufficient farmland and a large population, the supply of food can only rely on the outside world.

Even the dark faction is no exception to this.

It is possible to create one or two small-scale entrance and exit passages in such a large city, but it is far from enough to provide the supplies needed for the lives of hundreds or thousands of people.

The dark faction can obtain such material supplies thanks to merchants.

The merchants who made huge profits from selling Orario magic stone products all over the world and selling various commodities to the maze city.

The only thing that can drive businessmen to act is profit, and this is also the reason why they support the dark faction.

Although Orario has opened up the sale of various monster-dropped items and sells magic stone crafts, it has monopolized the commercial circulation of raw magic stones.

Because if a monster swallows too many magic stones, it will become an abnormal species that causes great harm.

Even in dungeons where adventurers are generally at a higher level, every appearance of an abnormal species would cause massive casualties, not to mention the outside world where combat power is generally lower than that of Orario.

Monopolizing the sale of magic stones, like prohibiting high-level adventurers from leaving the city at will, are measures taken by the city guild to prevent them from bringing harm to the outside world.
