Chapter 156 153. Taking Office
The demons have already targeted the human heroes, and I don’t know whether they have confirmed it or are still investigating further.
The hero is only LV18 and doesn't look like he needs much protection.
If you put yourself in Lin Jun's shoes, if he were the emperor of the Hermit Empire, he would send his capable subordinates to kill him to prevent future troubles.
Lin Jun himself is a hero, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as a hero who can suddenly explode in the midst of a crisis.
If there was, I wouldn't have been so miserable in the beginning.
So...what exactly do humans want to do?
Are you using the brave man to fish?
Thinking about it this way, it seems possible.
But it's too tragic that a brave man was used as bait, with his life and death at the mercy of others.
If we think along this line, this Yinsha Bay might become a battlefield for fighting between the two sides, and it would not be advisable to stay here for long.
Lin Jun had no interest in getting involved in the battle between humans and demons, and he himself still hadn't figured out which camp he belonged to.
Really... The skill panel is so similar to a game, couldn't the faction be more like a game as well, with teammates marked in blue and enemies marked in red, to be simple and clear?
As for Dylan, the clues about his daughter are now completely gone.
There was no choice but to give up temporarily and board the return ship.
Of course, I also brought a batch of red reef fruits.
For Dylan, the result was mixed, at least it was not the news of his daughter's death.
For Lin Jun...
That's pretty indifferent.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Jun only consumed one capacity of [Follower Control] to accompany Dylan around.
Lin Jun’s goal is to see the world.
Demon spy, sword master, abyss magic, fog, hero...
So far, the harvest has been quite fruitful, at least it has given him a general understanding of many things.
Finally, it would be perfect if we could successfully transport the [delicious] red reef fruit back.
God bless me so that I don’t encounter fog and pirates again. It’s okay that I lost Dylan’s gold coins and +4 pendant last time, but this time I brought Lin Jun’s fruit...
As Dylan set out on his journey home, two carriages drove into the area of Dumb Wind Town.
——
Inside the comfortable carriage, the white-haired young man had a gloomy look in his eyes.
Even though the month-long trek was about to end, there was no trace of joy on his face.
In the villages we saw along the way, half of the farmland had been destroyed by poisoning.
Their luck was not as good as the first time, and they never captured the second spy.
Although they didn't catch him, outside the towns they passed through, there were many corpses of captured demon spies - executed or left exposed.
This was undoubtedly an imperial plot.
Although the grand dukes of the empire are bloodthirsty, evil, twisted and perverted, they are by no means stupid. It is impossible for them to waste their own spies for no reason.
It can't be that they think their spy network is too big and they want to give away some of it to reduce expenses, right?
They must have other backup plans, are they on the elves' side?
Although he knew that these were matters that only the top leaders like his father should consider, what he saw and heard along the way still made Farr unable to help but think about them, wasting a lot of energy.
A peeled fruit was handed to Far's lips. He opened his lips, took it in, and swallowed it very naturally.
The taste was mediocre, after all, these were just supplies bought locally for the second half of the journey.
The delicacies brought out from the City of Oath were consumed halfway along the way.
However, Farr actually didn't care about this. Although he was usually very good at food, clothing and other daily necessities, he believed that he didn't care about these appetites.
Seeing that the carriage had entered the town and that there were long wooden buildings on both sides of the avenue, Far decided to get off the carriage to take a look. Seeing it with his own eyes would probably give him some information that would not appear in the report.
The first thing he saw when he got off the car was a cluster of mushrooms...
After walking only a few dozen meters, Fal's brows were deeply furrowed.
Mushroom clusters can be seen everywhere, growing under the eaves and in the corners of wooden houses.
The people eating on the roadside had fluorescent light in their bowls and on their mouths.
The two words I heard most along the way were "puji" and "mushroom". They were mentioned almost no matter what we talked about.
This town... is wrong!
Especially when those diners, with fluorescent light still on their lips, all cast their eyes on Far, the extravagantly dressed outsider, Far had the illusion that he had entered hostile territory and was being targeted.
This feeling lasted until we got outside the guild, and then it got a little better - the guild was made of stone and no mushrooms grew there.
The branch president, or rather the former branch president, Oberon, was not drunk today, which was a rare occasion.
Although his eye sockets were sunken and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was drinking too much, Oberon still managed to stay alert and completed the handover with Farr in front of everyone in the hall.
It was called a handover, but in reality it was just the transfer of the branch seal, the introduction of the members within the branch, and finally a few meaningless official words exchanged with each other.
It's just a process.
"He hates you very much." Looking at Oberon leaving, Lillian whispered to Fal.
Farr nodded. He had naturally noticed it. After all, there was originally a dinner plan, but it seemed that the other party had omitted it.
As for the reasons why Oberon hated him, he could guess a little, but he didn't care.
After getting acquainted with the employees who remained in the branch, such as Mirabelle, Fal sat down in the branch president's office and issued his first order after taking office - to compile and send over all the information about the dungeon after the demon tide.
The order was naturally given to Mirabelle. Although Farr brought some civilian staff with him, he had just arrived and had not yet officially taken over the corresponding position. He was not prepared to waste so much time waiting in vain.
Farr did not have the idea of replacing important positions in the original branch with people he brought with him. If the original people in the branch could be used smoothly, it would not be a bad idea to keep them in their original positions.
Mirabelle naturally knew that this was an opportunity to show herself, so before the sun set, two large stacks of documents were placed on Farr's desk.
Then the more he looked at her, the gloomier her expression became, and finally—
"Oberon, you bastard!"
He slapped the table. Farr now just wanted to catch Oberon and let Lillian beat him up.
There should be a limit to laziness!
What does it mean that there may not be amethyst on every floor of the Amethyst Dungeon, but there will definitely be Puji?
Although the ninth and tenth floors are not there yet, it seems that it is only a matter of time.
How could Oberon pretend not to notice such obvious changes and not even mention them in the report submitted to the headquarters?
What does it mean that Puji starts renting out lighting?
Doesn't this mean that these monsters have shown business thinking?
In such an unusual situation, Oberon did not take any action!
That guy Oberon!
Fal decided in his heart that once the mushroom issue was dealt with, he would denounce that termite Oberon in the report he submitted!
