It can only be said that Hera still has some connection with adventurers these days, but not much.
Of course, Vladimir's dissatisfaction with adventurers was not without reason.
Although adventurers and the army guard the line together, there are significant differences between the two.
Every soldier in the army considers it their duty to protect the empire.
They possessed an indomitable spirit, taking victory as their belief and regarding death as an honor.
I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life.
The adventurers, however, have very different goals.
Their primary motivation was to make money on this land, and their profit-driven behavior contrasted sharply with the military's sense of honor.
Some adventurers even take the opportunity to skin the monsters for materials after the army has cleared them out.
Over the course of ten years, a new profession even emerged among adventurers—the scavenger.
The southern lands are now in a state of extreme chaos every day. Monsters kill each other, and their corpses are left to rot without anyone to care for them.
Some adventurers, in order to gain more wealth, risked venturing deep into the southern hinterland to gather materials.
However, those who are greedy or obsessed with money often end up becoming food for monsters.
This is an extremely risky profession.
After all, monster materials are always a valuable resource, no matter the circumstances.
Regardless of their origin, even the military is willing to pay to purchase these materials.
These materials can be used to make weapons and armor for the Empire's soldiers.
If it weren't for the high value of monster materials here, the number of adventurers would probably be reduced by more than half.
"But you said you didn't specifically want to see me?"
Hera was somewhat puzzled, raised an eyebrow, and looked curiously at Vladimir opposite her.
She didn't quite understand who else would come to see her besides this old general.
Just as she was puzzled, the tent flap was lifted and a man stepped inside.
The friction between the ground and the sound of footsteps caught the attention of Hera and Vladimir.
The two turned their heads in the direction of the sound and saw Duke Reeves walking in.
At that moment, he nodded to the soldiers behind him in gratitude:
"Thank you for showing me the way."
The soldier appeared very excited and, in response to the Duke's gratitude, quickly gave a military salute.
"It's alright, Your Grace!"
"I'm going back to my post now. Please call me if you need anything!"
After saying that, he quickly left.
Watching the soldiers' departing figures, Levi turned around and gently swept his gaze over the two people inside the tent.
Finally, his gaze lingered on Vladimir's face, revealing a smile.
“It’s been a while since we last met, Vladimir.”
Vladimir seemed somewhat displeased and gave a soft hum.
"Why maintain such a youthful appearance at such an advanced age?"
"The soldiers told me you wanted to see me, and I was really surprised. I didn't expect it to really be you."
"Just tell me what's on your mind."
At this moment, Hera sat quietly to the side, staring intently at Revi from head to toe, her eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
In fact, she was not familiar with this... Imperial Duke.
But why would this duke want to see her?
She watched as Levi slowly sat down in the chair next to Vladimir:
"You should have heard about what happened in the capital."
"In fact, Her Majesty the Queen sent me to communicate with the Tower Master of the Demon Tower, hoping to find a way to distinguish believers."
His voice carried a hint of helplessness, and Hera and Vladimir could understand the reason for his sigh.
After all, they all know that.
Even the Empress's personal visit failed to bring the Tower Master of the Demon Tower to the fore.
If we let Rivi come, he'll be able to see the Tower Master?
Now, Hera also had her own guesses.
The reason Levi wanted to see her was because she represented the entire adventurer community.
so……
"Are you planning to have me incite the adventurers to advance towards the Demon Tower and storm it?"
No one knows what the inside of the magic tower is like, because no one can enter it.
The entire area was surrounded by powerful magical beasts, which would not attack humans but would protect the refugees as they traveled north.
However, once they get close to the Demon Tower, neither humans nor monsters can avoid being attacked by it.
It's as if they're protecting something.
Upon hearing Hera's words, Revi frowned slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.
Why did you come up with the idea of storming the Demon Tower?
Hera was also slightly surprised, clearly taken aback by Reeves' reaction.
But Vladimir, who was standing next to him, suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard an extremely absurd joke.
Rivlin was plunged into deeper confusion and could only quietly observe Vladimir's smile.
After Vladimir's laughter subsided, he coughed twice, his expression turned serious, and he said to Revi:
"Revi, there's something you might not know."
There was a hint of mystery in Vladimir's voice.
"Just a few days ago, the Magic Tower took the initiative to contact us for the first time."
"A flying monster suddenly rushed out from over there, but it didn't attack anyone; it just dropped a letter and ran away."
As he spoke, Vladimir took out a letter from his person and handed it to Rivi.
Levi took the envelope, carefully opened it, and quickly glanced through it.
The handwriting on the envelope was elegant and solemn, even written in the language of the empire.
He then began to read it carefully.
"You saw the words written here. If they are not human, they are a race with intelligence. At the very least, they cannot be related to those monsters."
