The appearance of the artifact brought life back to the towns near the Central Forest, which had been somewhat deserted due to the cold.
In order to lure Fang Yuanyuan, An Ge and the others did not auction the artifact in the more prosperous Wiki City, but in Palin Town, which is closer to the Central Forest.
Thanks to Nitan Auction House, which has branches all over the continent, even in remote towns.
The Nitan Auction House does not belong to any single party; its influence extends to various races, and it has deep ties with all of them. It is precisely because of this that even though Fang Yuanyuan currently wields immense power, she dares not easily offend the Nitan Auction House.
Furthermore, the possibility of sacred artifacts appearing in the Central Forest has attracted even more adventurers.
Ange and the others originally planned to stay in the central forest for a while, but as more and more people joined them, this idea became unacceptable.
“I’ve been observing for a long time and I’ve found that although the people here look different from us, as long as they don’t have black hair and black eyes, they won’t attract attention. Sister Tingxue, why don’t you make some more potion to cover up their features?”
Hu Jiu looked at An Ge with a complicated expression. "I don't think we need it." After saying that, Hu Jiu's originally black hair turned silver, and her eyes also turned silver.
“Oh right, I almost forgot what you originally looked like.” An Ge looked at Hu Jiu, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes. “And what about them?” An Ge pointed to Lu Yan and the others.
Lu Yan rolled his eyes. "I never said that this was my original appearance." After saying that, he transformed into a red-haired, red-eyed demon.
Then, the others also began to transform.
Although Chang Jin's hair is black, her eyes are gray, making her look like she's not a normal human. Moreover, her face is closer to Western features, which makes her the most compatible with the crowd.
Rong Zhuo transformed into someone with green hair and blue eyes, radiating an aura of nature.
Wow, An Ge exclaimed. After knowing each other for so long, she never imagined she was living in such a colorful and vibrant world.
Could it be that Chef Wei isn't a normal person either? An Ge couldn't help but wonder.
"Well, it seems like I'm the only one who needs to change." Liu Tingxue said speechlessly.
Looking at Liu Tingxue, An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, there were still normal people around. Right, Meng Xia was just like her, which made her feel less alone.
Seeing An Ge's suddenly affectionate gaze, Liu Tingxue, puzzled, transformed herself into a blonde, blue-eyed woman.
Now she's just like An Xiaoge, that's great!
After everyone finished packing, they went to a farm outside the town of Palin. This was the place they had agreed to meet with Oris.
When An Ge and the others arrived, Oris was already there. Upon seeing An Ge, his eyes lit up with surprise.
"Manager and esteemed guests, Oris has lived up to expectations."
"Alis, thank you for your hard work," Ange said sincerely. They had been in the Central Forest for some time now, relying entirely on Oris's help.
Oris said somewhat humbly, "My lord has come to save our continent, how can I accept your thanks?"
"Alright, let's not stand on ceremony. Will we attract attention by entering Palin town like this?"
Oris paused for a moment, "Probably still, after all, the adults' appearances are too stunning. But others won't suspect anything. The West Asian continent is dominated by magical elements, and many people's appearances are affected by the elements."
An Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
As for Hogg, because his race was too special, An Ge directly took him into the reward space.
It must be said that, given Hogg's special status, taking him along on trips is much more convenient than taking a divine servant.
Because of Oris's status, he couldn't accompany Ange and the others. After listening to Oris's instructions, the group set off for Palin Town.
Although the town of Palin is far from the center of power, it is close to the central forest, attracting a large number of mercenaries every year. Over time, although it cannot compare with big cities, the lives of the people here are better than elsewhere.
As soon as An Ge and the others entered the town, they were captivated by its lively atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with mercenaries, as well as many young nobles who clearly came from respectable families for training.
According to Oris, since the academy began recruiting soldiers, more noble youths have come to train, and Ange and the others' attire has not attracted much attention.
In stark contrast to the bustling scene were the wanted posters plastered everywhere. Ange even spotted Hogg and Oris's posters among them, with rather substantial bounties on them.
An Ge looked at the passing crowd and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jiu keenly noticed An Ge's change in mood.
An Ge shook her head. "It's nothing. I just feel a little sad when I think about how this peaceful life might be disrupted by Fang Yuanyuan someday. I heard from Oris that Fang Yuanyuan has affected many other places, and the people are suffering terribly."
An Ge is not a saint, and may even be somewhat vindictive, but the people are innocent and should not suffer because of his own selfish actions.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed this time."
“Yes!” An Ge nodded firmly.
The unexpected news brought renewed activity to the previously quiet inn, which had been rather deserted during the winter. Looking at the crowds coming and going, An Ge and the others ultimately decided against staying at the inn.
“I just rented a small courtyard, let’s go over there,” Hu Jiu said.
"Huh? When did you rent it? No, when did you leave?" An Ge was surprised. Hu Jiu was too considerate.
"Tsk tsk, Old Hu is getting better and better. I've known you for a thousand years, but I've never experienced such meticulous care from you," Lu Yan said jokingly.
You don't deserve it.
Lu Yan had been shot in the chest with an arrow, and he knew that he wouldn't get any nice things out of Hu Jiu.
An Ge looked at Hu Jiu, who was chatting with the landlord, and thought about how he quickly became friends with Aunt Dan and Chef Sun when he first arrived. She couldn't help but admire his social skills.
"His mouth was watering."
An Ge rolled her eyes at Lu Yan. "Childish."
Chang Jin asked curiously, "You really can't stand not being teased for a day, I really admire that about you."
"Haha, Xiao Lu has an exceptionally strong will," Rong Zhuo laughed, quickly following An Ge.
Liu Tingxue didn't often get together with them, but in the short time she saw Lu Yan, she almost always found him either being argued with or beaten up. At first, she felt a little sorry for him, but after a few days, she finally saw things clearly.
This guy is just itchy; he can't stand not getting roasted every day.
"I never expected there to be someone like you in the Demon Royal Family. I'm truly worried about the future of the Demon Clan."
"Heh, it seems you're quite confident that I can succeed as Demon Emperor."
"If you can't even take down those good-for-nothings after becoming a divine servant, then you're really letting An Xiaoge down. I won't let you go even without the demons having to lift a finger." With that, Liu Tingxue brushed past him.
Lu Yan smiled and said, "That's true."
Once this matter is resolved, he should return to the Demon Realm to get to the bottom of things.
