Don't call me evil god

Petun became interested.

Territory and town and camp are two completely different things.

The former means that the lord has a high degree of governance power, just like Ceylon Territory. In addition to the kingdom's code and various laws issued by the king, the countess can also issue regulations that are effective within the territory of Ceylon Territory.

"Where is Xiwei Territory?"

The small adventurer pointed to the northeast of the Dark Forest.

"I heard that after leaving the border defense line, you can see an unnamed river in about 2 hours in that direction, and then continue east along the direction of the river. It will take 1 day at the fastest and two days at the slowest to see the wall of Xiwei Territory."

Petun was a little hesitant, frowning:

"Walk over? From the forest?"

The adventurer shrugged and asked, "What else? Do you expect to hire a carriage to take you in?"

"There are no well-developed roads in the Dark Forest. Let alone a carriage, it is difficult to get in on horseback. You can only walk."

Petun was immediately disappointed.

It takes at least 1 day to go into the Dark Forest alone!

If he has to go to the West Wei Territory to find adventurers and mercenaries for hire, then his plan has gone awry.

What if he encounters an accident in the forest?

Seeing that the other party was about to leave the border camp, Petwin hurriedly called out:

"Friend! Friend! Wait a minute! What's your name?"

"My name is... Connie."

"Okay, Connie, can I entrust you..." Petwin stammered: "You are planning to go to the West Wei Territory, right? Can you help me find a few suitable mercenaries there and ask them to come back to the camp? I want to hire them to help me."

Petwin didn't have the nerve to say directly that he was afraid.

He also emphasized his excuse:

"It's not that I don't dare to go into the Dark Forest to find it myself, but mainly, I need to wait for someone here, you know."

"Some of my friends are not ready yet, I have to wait for them, otherwise they won't see me when they come, and it's easy to have misunderstandings."

The adventurer named Connie glanced at Petunia, with a half-smile in his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Which noble's child are you?"

"Are you planning to find mercenaries to help you catch some monsters and let you solve them by yourself as your trophies?"

"First time?"

Petunia's face quickly turned red.

His thoughts were exposed by the other party.

"Who... who said it was my first time, I just haven't been to the border camp here before! I don't know the situation around here!"

Trying to be tough.

Connie sneered mercilessly, "I heard that the descendants of other noble families who came here to participate in the hunting month this year have entered the dark forest on their own."

"After the development of Xiwei Territory, the number of monsters near the border has decreased a lot. Now even ordinary people should be able to reach Xiwei Territory smoothly if they muster up the courage."

"Even if you want to destroy the monsters, you have to find them from Xiwei Territory, or even explore deeper into the forest. It's no longer possible to practice next to [Past Glory] like in the past!"

"You don't dare to go, do you?"

Pe Twen was immediately anxious.

The young man was unwilling to accept it, especially when he was mocked by Connie, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, in a teasing tone.

"Who said I don't dare!"

"Ordinary people can go there, I think it must be easy and simple to go there..."

"...Even if that's the territory of the heretic church, it doesn't matter?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Connie with a smile.

Petunia was stunned, and his voice rose three degrees: "Heretics?!"

"No, do you dare to go to the territory of the heretic church?"

Petunia now wondered whether the world was crazy or he was crazy.

Connie smiled and said, "So what if they are heretics? Other people's territories are developed outside the kingdom. They don't violate any laws, right?"

"As long as they don't take the initiative to enter the Kingdom of Reyak, it's not illegal even if the King's Army and the people of the Glorious God Church go to their territory!"

"Look at how many King's Army there are in this place now?"

Petunia was stunned.

The border camp is not big, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk around.

When he ran to the border entrance and exit checkpoint of [Past Glory], Petunia was shocked.

"Where are the King's Army?"

There were indeed people left at the checkpoint, but there were only 5 or 6 soldiers on duty to maintain the entry inspection for returning to the kingdom and two lazy Glorious God priests, plus two clerks responsible for registering the spoils of the Hunting Moon.

Although it is not a red tide of monsters at the moment, the King's Army has not officially assembled, and the garrison here will not be too much. Under normal circumstances, there will be only a few dozen soldiers left.

But now there are not even a few dozen left!

There are only the minimum staff left to maintain the operation of the border checkpoints.

The camps arranged for other King's Army to rest on the border defense line are directly empty!

"They won't... go to Xiwei Territory too?" Petwin couldn't believe it.

Petwin could understand that adventurers, mercenaries and the like went there, after all, these people's main business was to hunt monsters.

But what did the King's Army do there?

"It's very simple."

"The conditions here are poor, the environment is bad, and the food and accommodation are very miserable."

"Not many people are willing to stay here now, at most they stay here for a short transit."

"The King's Army is the same."

"They will only come back when they need to take turns."

"My duty time is over, so of course I'll leave!"

Petty Twain didn't understand and was shocked.

What kind of existence is that suddenly appearing Siwei Territory?

A heretical church.

As a result, people from the kingdom, even the king's army, turned a blind eye to the heresy and flocked there?

How attractive is that place!

Petty Twain gritted his teeth.

So many people went, especially the king's army, which means that Siwei Territory must have some irresistible temptation.

Since everyone can go, he dares to go too!

Trying to keep up with Connie's pace, Petwin found an excuse: "Ahem... Ahem... Connie, I want to entrust you. I'm not familiar with the environment around here. I'll hire you temporarily. I need you to show me the way and take me to Xiwei Territory."

"I'll state in advance that I'm not afraid, and I'm not afraid to go alone."

"It's mainly because I'm not familiar with the environment and don't know the way, so I need someone who knows the route to take me to prevent getting lost in the Dark Forest!"

"You must know how dangerous it is to get lost in the Dark Forest."

Pettywin said a bunch of words, and finally thought for a moment and made a price:

"10 silver coins, reasonable, right?"

"You just lead the way, I'll go with you!"

"As long as you agree, I'll give you a 20% deposit now."

Connie suddenly laughed.

Muttered something in a low voice:

"The stupidity of the nobles..."

Pettywin didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Connie smiled and said, "Nothing. Deal, but don't regret it."
