"It's just a minor injury. I was working as a caretaker in the lair a while ago, but as you know, the monsters produced in the lair are not fixed. Occasionally, unrecorded monsters will be spawned for various reasons. I was unlucky and encountered an unformed nightmare. I suffered a minor injury and had frequent nightmares, which is why I was in a bad state. I have only recently recovered."

Beth said hurriedly, "Let's get back to the point. What do you want to talk to me about? It must be something very important to you. You were like this when you were little. You liked to change the subject when you encountered difficulties."

"Yes. The Kaza Brotherhood has been shrinking for some reason. Now is the best time for us to unite and form a force belonging to Community No. 7."

"It's a good idea, but it's unrealistic. The Kaza Brotherhood is very vicious. Although they haven't occupied Block 7 for long, they've already caused many deaths. It's not that no one has thought about resisting them, but the professionals are indeed more powerful than us. We are no match for them."

Beth's words were frustrated, revealing a sense of powerlessness.

He seemed to approve of the Kaza Brotherhood's management of Community No. 7 and the collection of protection fees.

But what he didn't know was that the Kaza Brotherhood was going to do much more than that. Which gang in Serkar City would be satisfied with just collecting protection money? Smuggling, opening casinos, selling contraband, extortion, robbery...

They will try any and every means to make money quickly until they mess everything up, leaving behind a rotten environment.

Anger crossed Adele's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

She steadied her tone and said, "I have a way to deal with professionals. I've established contact with a powerful figure and received assistance. But I alone am not enough. That figure needs a complete force, not just a weak individual. So I need to form a faction to prove my ability. And now is the best opportunity. The Kaza Brotherhood is currently struggling to take care of itself. If we miss this window of opportunity, there will be no way to turn things around in the future."

Adele raised the banner of Noita and described her as a big shot to convince Beth.

"Mr. Musas is already sixty-seven years old. He's drowsy all day and can't stand being frightened. If the Kaza Brotherhood is free to officially take over the community, with their brutal style of doing things, sooner or later they will scare Mr. Musas. He's been busy all his life, and he deserves to enjoy his old age instead of dying in fear."

Beth looked moved.

"Join me, Beth, for Mr. Musas. I promise you that once our organization is established, peace will return to the community."

Adele's eyes sparkled, and her transcendental appearance revealed her extraordinary status.

She is a descendant of God, a blessed one.

Beth muttered to herself.

He remembered all the rumors about the descendants of God, and this became the last straw that made him fall to Adele.

"No need to say more, I trust you," Beth asked. "What should I do next?"

"Come with me to recruit more men."

All things are difficult at the beginning. With the first person joining, Adele's subsequent recruitment process will be smoother.

Beth is more familiar with Community No. 7 than Adele. Hanging out among tourists and miners all day long has made him more aware of gossip, and his eloquence is also a level higher than Adele's.

They quickly recruited more than a dozen members on the first day.

In the evening, Adele invited them to dinner at the pub, where they discussed the name of the organization and how to fight against other gangs. They agreed to meet again at noon the next day and then dispersed.

“It looks like good results.”

When Adele returned home, Noita could see the joy on her face.

Although they drank alcohol, the descendants of gods have a naturally strong metabolism and basically will not get drunk.

She said proudly, "We've completed the general framework. Now we just need to continue recruiting members."

Then, Adele tentatively asked why the Noitakaza Brotherhood had no time to care about Community No. 7.

The members recruited today kept asking, but she didn't know the specific reason and could only make excuses.

Noita had originally only heard about this from the leader, but during the day she took the initiative to investigate and confirmed that the situation was indeed consistent, and gained a deeper understanding.

"Originally, Community 7 wasn't within the Kaza Brotherhood's sphere of influence. They were strictly forbidden from setting foot in Community 7 by the higher-ups. But one day, the ban was suddenly lifted, and the Kaza Brotherhood took over Community 7. During this time, they also clashed with other smaller gangs. In the end, the Kaza Brotherhood won because the Rango Gang, backed by them, was closer and provided more support."

"The Kaza Brotherhood has expanded its influence. While not as strong as the Rango Gang, it's not to be underestimated. Coincidentally, the leader of the Rango Gang was assassinated. With no leader left, the remaining members of the group unanimously began suppressing affiliated gangs, with the Kaza Brotherhood being their top priority. This allowed them to temporarily relax their encroachment on Community 7."

Adele frowned. "Doesn't this mean that once the Rango Guild chooses its leader, the Kaza Brothers will discover that Community Seven is organizing resistance against them, and they'll join forces with the Rango Guild to deal with us?"

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Noita smiled sweetly. "We don't know when the Rango Society will have a new leader. Guess how the previous leader of the Rango Society died?"

Chapter 24: Unveiling a Corner of the Secret

Noita almost revealed that she was the one who attacked and killed the leader of the Rango Society, which shocked Adele.

She asked in disbelief, "Is it you?"

"Yes."

When Adele got the affirmative answer, she felt sincerely relieved and happy.

She finally had some understanding of Noita's strength.

Her attachment to Noita was an impulsive choice, but it's hard to say it wasn't carefully considered. She had few options at the time, limited to leaving her homeland or risking her life for revenge. Noita's appearance offered her a third option, and while the future of this option remained uncertain, Noita's kindness towards her made the third option seem far more promising than the first two.

However, there are indeed many mysteries surrounding Noita. She has too many secrets and too little of her past is revealed, so Adele cannot see clearly.

Until yesterday, when Adele suddenly discovered that even Noita's race was fake - she was not even a halfling!

This really made Adele feel uneasy.

Adele was uneasy because she knew too little about Noita.

When followers possess secrets, the aura of secrecy created by these secrets is a beautiful embellishment, only making those they follow more attractive. However, more secrets are not necessarily better. Once there are too many secrets, followers will become anxious, thinking they know too little, and fall into a state of anxiety and fear.

The way Noita and Adele get along is not that of a superior and a subordinate, but more like a teacher-student relationship, which makes Adele instinctively want to get close to her and understand her.

But looking back, she was overwhelmed by the fact that she knew nothing about Noita.

However, Adele has a strong ability to self-regulate. She will suppress her anxiety deep in her heart to prevent it from affecting her real life.

Now, when Noita revealed a little bit of her past to Adele, especially since it was causally related to her current situation, she was overjoyed, and the uneasiness she felt naturally dissipated.

The strength shown by Noita made her feel that she had a solid backing behind her, at least she was no longer afraid of the larger Rango Society.

Adele hummed a song and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Noita.

Soon after, the food was served. Noita had an alarming appetite and ate all the food, making people wonder if her stomach was connected to another dimension.

Dusk fell shortly after dinner. Adele lit the lamp and returned to her bedroom to plan how to recruit new people tomorrow.

She is full of enthusiasm and hope in her heart.

Noita sat quietly in the chair, waiting for her body to fully absorb the nutrients from the food before walking into the night of Serkar's curfew.

Adele seemed to be aware of something and saw the girl's back disappearing into the darkness from the window.

She is really busy.

In Adele's impression, during the few days that Noita stayed at home, she had very little time to rest in the house, and most of the time she was running around outside.

Coming back from her reverie, Adele pulled herself together and encouraged herself: "I have to work harder too."

Not long after, Noita came to the Swordfish Tavern. She activated the Transfiguration Ring in a place where no one was paying attention, and turned into an ordinary, nondescript person.

Anjie drank miserably, and his drunken appearance made people doubt whether he could distinguish between his head and his butt.

Noita sat down in front of him and ordered two glasses of beer and pushed them to him.

"What do you need, my guest?"

"It's me, the halfling who came to see you some time ago."

Anjie's eyes lit up, and he quickly called the waiter: "Friend, you are here again. Long time no see. John, add a glass of fruit wine."

The waiter at the bar immediately responded: "Okay."

Anjie spoke clearly and his brain was obviously not affected by alcohol.

"When did we become friends?"

An Jie laughed and said, "All people in the world are brothers. Once we trade, we are friends."

"What service does my friend want to buy this time?"

"Is there any noteworthy news in Dongcheng District in the past week?"

"There are a few things. The production of magical beasts from several large [Layers] in East City has been increasing. Although the production of these lairs has been on an upward trend in recent years, there was a sudden increase recently, with both the production and quality of magical beasts improving significantly. Rumor has it that the number of wild lairs has also increased, and many areas outside the city have been severely affected."

Anjie looked around cautiously, and after finding that no one was paying attention to this place, he whispered: "It is said, just said, that a Chimeramon with strength close to paragon was found in Tianhai's lair."

A lair is a small space designed by mountain dwellers to create magical beasts, using unique techniques to manipulate the power of the earth veins, combining it with magic and other materials. In the game, a lair is a special resource building that can produce magical beasts and magical materials.

The nest is also an important source of income for the city of Serkar. The people of Serkar earn a lot of foreign exchange by selling nest monsters and accompanying magical materials to the outside world, thereby maintaining the rapid development of Serkar.

Noita was thoughtful.

She knew the reason for the nest's unusual movements. Maintaining and developing the nest required the power of the earth veins. The increase in nest production meant a surge in the power of the earth veins.

The Serkar people continued to improve their technology, making the use of earth vein power more efficient. More and more earth vein power was extracted, which eventually led to a local imbalance of earth vein power. The chain reaction triggered a backflow of earth vein power.

Everything is thriving now, but disaster is just around the corner.

The uncontrolled exploitation of the earth veins eventually caused the old gods' long dreams that were buried deep in the earth veins to surge out of the ground, forming a series of difficult-to-deal-with secret realms.

This is the origin of the major event, The Long Dream of the Old Gods.

These things have nothing to do with her now. This is the trend of the times and no one can stop it.

Anjie's words made people worry. Why did he tell her about the Tianhai Nest? In the past, the monsters produced by the nest were at most high-level, but now there are monsters with strength close to model. This should be top secret, but he leaked it to her?

He is being friendly.

Noita stared at Anjie with a half-smile, and asked, "What do you need?"

"Let's make friends." An Jie said seriously, "It's just a rumor, don't believe it. I just think you look kind, so I want to make friends. And I have a few commissions here, I wonder if you are willing to take them on?"

"Aren't you just in the intelligence business?"

"Hey, that's not right. If you have money, you can do any business. Besides, a while ago, a middleman disappeared in the black market, and many clients were anxious and re-placed their orders. Well, I took advantage of it and got a share of the profits."

Anjie quietly looked at Noita's expression.

He didn't have time to think about it. He was well-informed and had obtained information about the Rango Society's movements before their leader was assassinated. He also received a portion of the flea's commission and discovered that they were all involved in the capture of Noita. He also thought about the fact that this person had asked him about the information on the Rango Society, and he immediately realized that something was fishy.

So I want to try it out and verify the conjecture.

But Noita's expression remained calm, and there was no sign of reaction at all.

Noita said righteously: "I usually don't do anything criminal."

"These are all charity events under the umbrella of the Adventurer's Guild," Anjie said. "There are a lot of nests in the wild, and they're in urgent need of cleanup. The guards have other things to do, and the militia alone can't handle the increasingly dangerous nests. So the Council of Elders is calling on adventurers to eradicate wild nests. The harvest will belong to the adventurers, and there will be no tax. Are you interested?"

Noita's experience radar is triggered, gain experience!

She said sternly, "Give me the entrustment."

Chapter 25 You barbarian!

Outside the city of Serkar, there are countless scattered small city-states and villages. They do not have the technology and population of Serkar, but they also rely on their survival wisdom to live tenaciously and reproduce among the mountains.

As the number of nests increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for these areas to survive among the mountains, and the key strongholds that Serkar has placed at the nodes of the earth veins are also threatened.

It has become a consensus that cleaning up unplanned nests is imperative.

Anjie took out a stack of commissions and handed them to Noita. These were all urgent tasks, and only dangerous ones that needed to be resolved quickly would be handed over to the middleman, who would then find someone to solve them based on their own abilities. These tasks usually came with a bonus, and the rewards were higher than average.

Noita glanced at the contents of the commission and found that they were all straightforward tasks that only required destroying the nest, and not tasks like migrating villagers, which had low rewards and a lot of work.

She folded the commission and put it into her sleeve.

"Okay, I'll take it."

"If you have any gains, I can help you sell them. The price is fair to everyone."

An Jie's eyes flickered as he continued, "There's another piece of news in Dongcheng District. Many powerful people have sent spies to investigate the disappearance of a middleman, and the city's gangs are also assisting in this work."

Noita said calmly, "Is a middleman so important?"

"Rumor has it that he's done a lot of dirty work for big shots."

"Ah, that's it."

Rumors are really useful.

There wasn't much news worth noting after Dongcheng District. Before Noita left, Anjie tried to sell her a newspaper.

"Voice of the Mountains", a newspaper published by the Listener Association, provides members with a weekly Dark Moon News report, introducing events in various places.

For just one gold coin, you can buy two quarters of news service delivered to your door.

Noita thought for a moment and tossed a gold coin to Anjie: "Please order it for me first and have the association send it to you. I will come to pick it up when I have free time."
