"What are you going to do about it?"
Canxing was silent for a while and then sighed.
"I have other things to do. It seems I can only contact the Holy See and someone will pick it up as soon as possible."
He turned his head and said helplessly: "Actually, it is difficult to achieve results in this kind of thing. It seems that I was too ruthless and did not find more effective clues, so I guess it will be a little help in studying the Horned Serpent Demon Clan, right? No If there are real internal trends within the demon clan, it is usually difficult to have any subsequent results.”
It is indeed difficult for an aimless search to yield results, especially when there are no clues. It is also difficult for the Holy See to make any substantial progress in the investigation of such a matter.
"And now all human countries are advocating to reduce the rights of the Papal State. The Holy See's control over human territory is no longer as strong as before."
I nodded silently, and Canxing smiled freely and said, "Hey! These things are not something we should have a headache about. Let the old men in the Holy See have a headache."
Perhaps due to the restless magical environment and the aura of destruction here, the surrounding environment became much quieter in the middle of the night. When others got up in the morning, the forest gradually woke up and there was some movement.
"You actually met the demons last night and killed them?!"
When I woke up early in the morning, the thief started talking non-stop.
Probably because they saw Canxing really kill the demon, everyone's previous wariness has completely disappeared.
"Let me go, you have to be a knight in ordinary times. Oh no, you are a brave man, so you will be rewarded? By the way, what kind of demon is this? It doesn't look like a human being. Oh, yes, it looks similar. There may be no need to call him a demon if he is a human. Are the scales on his body related to snakes——"
The ranger put his arms around the thief's neck, then covered his mouth with a smile.
"It's okay, you continue, I'll hold him down first..."
Canxing smiled gently and said: "Actually, it's nothing. This is not a very strong demon, and usually this kind of demon requires a lot of preparation to use magic. If you encounter a brave man without being prepared in advance, you will not be able to use magic." It’s not difficult to deal with.”
The thief seemed to have thought of something at this time, and shouted hummingly.
The ranger had no choice but to let go of the hand covering the thief's mouth, and then the thief shouted: "I remember this demon! It's the horned snake demon, right? I've seen it in the union's bounty, and his scales can be sold for money! Hero, do you want... I can help."
Canxing laughed dumbly and said, "I'll give it to you. I don't really need these things."
The thief said with some regret: "In that case... I'll give you some money and treat you to a meal in the town ahead?"
"It's okay." Canxing nodded and said helplessly, "I'm not someone who pursues that much."
"As expected of a brave man, a role model for our generation!" The thief gave a thumbs up, his whole body in awe, "Noble people are different!"
You are a model thief and a hammer!
The pharmacist sighed with emotion: "The conduct of a brave man is indeed beyond our reach. Don't worry, we will definitely spread the word about your deeds."
Canxing didn't completely refuse this time. He just smiled and shook his head and said, "There's no need to deliberately promote it. After all, it's a small thing, right?"
"It's the little things that show your character!" shouted the thief, "When we get to the next town, I'll treat you to a meal!"
"I'm not very familiar with this road. How long will it take to get to the next town?" Perhaps sensing a growing trend, Canxing gently dropped the topic.
"We still need to walk for half a day."
The ranger seemed to be quite familiar with the area, so he answered Canxing's question.
"The next town is not too big, but its salt pork is very famous."
"Okay." Canxing clapped his hands gently and said with a smile, "Then please treat me to some salt pork."
As expected of an experienced warrior, he can deal with this kind of thing easily.
I think silently
After starting my career as a brave man, I couldn't resist the enthusiastic villagers...
Probably because Chanxing brought back memories, now I often think back to the time when I was a brave man.
But at that time, I was not famous at all as a hero. I was more like an ascetic than a hero.
After packing all our luggage, a group of us hit the road again.
Canxing's destination for this trip was Wells, which was a smooth journey, and he didn't care about the small time gap. In the end, he made the trip despite the strong invitation of the thief.
But here in Wales...
Not only out of curiosity, but also out of nostalgia for Aiya, I did some research on why Canxing went there. Not surprisingly, I got the answer I imagined - abnormal fluctuations in magic power, and... There are worrying conditions for the volcano.
As an important weapon output and a rare good port in human territory, local security and stability are very important when there are more changes and the activities of demons increase.
Sure enough, was it because of a series of unusual events that led to the Holy See’s investigation?
I felt a little nervous and a little worried about Aiya's situation.
After all, Aiya is a god who exists in a special state. I wonder what the Holy See will think of her?
Because of this worry, I didn't say much until I reached the town.
It was already noon when they arrived in the town. The group first found a hotel to stay, and then went to the largest restaurant in the town.
The thief originally wanted to publicize the heroic feat, but failed in the end due to Canxing's mild opposition.
He sat down at the table with a look of regret on his face, and then the ranger took his order.
Canxing said thoughtfully: "The situation in this town is not very good either."
Although there is still quite a distance from the war zone, the atmosphere in the town is quite stagnant, and the streets and restaurants are also somewhat deserted.
"The frequency of traveling merchants has reduced a lot." The shop owner was behind the cabinet and answered Canxing's doubts after hearing what Canxing said. "Many daily necessities are unavailable, and more and more things are stored in the village. , if the traveling merchants don’t come, they can only go to the city to sell it, but those guys took the opportunity to lower the price, and many people returned angrily.”
"Are there a lot fewer businessmen?"
"The number of bandits has increased." The shop owner sighed and said, "Many people escaped from there and had no serious jobs, so many township parties gathered together to make a living by occupying the mountains and becoming kings. If you do, it will be easy for the goods to be robbed or even killed.”
"Our town is also recruiting adventurers to serve as temporary guards recently. I wonder if you are interested?"
