The Dragon of Gluttony starts from the hell plane

Chapter 255 The place where faith gathers

What to say?

Humans...are indeed extremely adaptable creatures.

To put it metaphorically, it is like a [locust] among intelligent beings. It can even be called a [cockroach].

Although the main plane is still melting, the human ecology has gradually begun to return to normal.

There may be more terrible disasters, but at least they don't happen now.

As the number of refugees decreases, fewer and fewer people join the Northern Territory, but... this is actually not a bad thing.

At least it sounds better than it sounds.

In the current Northern Territory, the area of ​​the territory is actually quite large...the farmland is also 4 pieces from the beginning.

Well, from 4+4+4+4 blocks (dry fields, paddy fields, vegetable fields, medicine fields), it has now become an endless stretch of golden fields.

If the expansion continues, it will be a big burden on the territory's finances.

Anyone who has played similar games knows that resources like this can affect the whole body.

If you need more food, you need more bakeries and farmland, and building these requires higher-level quarries and lumberyards.

Higher-level quarries and lumberyards require more residents to be dispatched...more residents require more food.

Yes, if we do not consider the limits of the current territory's responsibilities, it will easily become a situation of demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall.

If you want to prevent this possibility, you can't be impatient.

Slowly stop development, give all resources to produce buildings, normal output for a period of time, and respond to various emergencies.

Moreover, although there are fewer people joining the territory, it does not mean that there are none.

Occasionally, there will be people who want to join the Northern Territory, or run businesses, open shops, etc. in the Northern Territory.

"Name? Race?"

The knight in charge of registration asked this question, and the person standing in front of him filling out the form at the moment was an uncle who didn't look too old.

"Leo...the race is human."

The uncle named Leo answered like this. He looked at the contents on the form, and without waiting for the knight to ask, he continued: "The occupation is warrior, third level."

He is a professional...

The registered knights thought so, and recorded truthfully... Since the boss was formally enshrined as a marquis, the proportion of people who joined the territory were professionals.

"Where are you originally from? Why did you join the Northern Territory?"

The knight asked, although it was a question, but the strokes of his quill pen had already begun to write the word "melting".

Perhaps this is a problem caused by muscle memory, because he has experienced countless people displaced by melting.

But beyond his expectation...

"I'm from Ernest City."

Regarding Uncle Leo who said this, the knight raised his head in confusion... One of the main cities of the Violet Kingdom is One Castle.

To be honest, no matter if it is Erne City or Mino City, the residents there are more or less likely to look down on other cities.

He also looks down on many nobles...

"I run a pawnshop business in Ernei City, but the atmosphere in Ernei City is very strange recently, and it is often closed."

Uncle Leo said this, and he looked very emotional: "I think it would be better for me to open a store somewhere else."

In that case, registered knights will almost understand.

He dipped his quill in ink and wrote something like [Reason: doing business]. At the same time, he asked: "Are you planning to join the territory? Or do you just want to be able to pass?"

Join a territory? Access?

Uncle Leo doesn't quite understand. Does it make any difference? He is here to do business, not to be a mercenary or subordinate.

The knight had no special reaction to Leo's doubts.

During this period of time, he gave the same reply countless times: "It's normal if you don't understand... According to the general territory, merchants do not have the concept of [joining]."

The knight who explained this way showed a box on the list in his hand to the uncle in front of him: "Look, it says [Do you want to join?] here, right?"

"If you join, you can take this thing and get free housing and three free meals a day in the Northern Territory."

Yes, for the Seven Islands Semu system... Those who join the Northern Territory can declare their participation in any way.

In other words, simply filling out a form is also possible.

There is no need to actually find her and solemnly say to her "I want to join the Northern Territory!" or something like that.

Normal games are not designed this way.

And this knight actually plays the role of an interviewer.

"Free house and food?"

Uncle Leo was obviously shocked. He looked at the bag on his waist. The bulging stuff inside... naturally contained coins.

It was the money he was planning to buy land in the Northern Territory to build a storefront.

If you join the Northern Territory, you will save this money.

"Wait, in that case, can't I just tick it myself? People in the territory can't tell the difference..."

Uncle Leo, like many people, discovered this. He pointed to the list and asked: "When the territory needs me to do something, I will erase it."

According to general logic, this is certainly possible.

According to the logic of the Northern Territory... it doesn't even matter.

"Okay, but what's the point? I checked it for you, but you can erase it yourself, right? Then I'll count you in?"

The knight said this, and then smiled and helped the other party choose the option of joining the Northern Territory: "The Northern Territory only needs your joining..."

That's really it, what about the rest?

Uncle Leo thought so and frowned slightly, and the knight's answer made him even more confused: "I know what you are thinking, but don't worry... The Northern Territory is a very beautiful place."

"..."

When Uncle Leo nodded in understanding, the knight looked at the gray-haired grandfather behind Uncle Leo.

"Old gentleman... may I ask your name and race?"

In response to the knight's routine questioning, this old man who looked not young stroked his beard: "Ander, it's human... I'm Leo's father, and the reason for going to the city is the same as his."

Regarding the words of the old man who called himself [Ender], Uncle Leo twitched the corner of his mouth almost instantly, and his face was a little distorted.

But when the knight looked over with questioning eyes, Uncle Leo reluctantly nodded, admitting the other party's statement.

"Okay, this is your document, please keep it... If you lose it, you can make it up with me. If there are any omissions that need to be added, or any mistakes that need to be corrected, you can come to me at any time."

The knight said very dutifully, watching the two of them enter the city... After that, no one would want to join the Northern Territory.

I was really busy a while ago, but now I can have a little leisure time.

----------

"Why did you say he was my father..."

Uncle Leo complained to [Father], while Ander smiled indifferently and stroked his beard: "Because it's convenient."

Yes, convenience is indeed convenient.

In this way, Ender wouldn't have to answer where he came from or what he did before... This would be too troublesome.

But it made Leo feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, no matter how you say it, there is no blood relationship between the two. To describe it... it's probably a relationship between colleagues.

No, actually not even colleagues.

All I can say is that it’s like they’ve never met each other...

acquaintance?

Okay, that's really weird to say.

"So, Leo, the [suspected hero] you mentioned is in the Northern Territory, operating with Megan's daughter?"

As Ander said this, he recalled what happened in Dhoni City: "Haha, actually I also watched Megan's daughter grow up."

"When I saw Mr. Megan taking his daughter, I was really shocked that day. I didn't know when I had a daughter. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

"Who is Meghan's wife? I have never heard of it at all."

In fact, Leo had never heard of it either.

"I don't know, but this is normal, isn't it? Andrestan, didn't you find another wife very casually?"

Leo said this, he called [Ender] by his full name, and said casually: "Where is your wife?"

"..."

In response to this, Andrestan paused while stroking his beard, and then sighed: "What you said happened more than a hundred years ago... My wife ended up better this time, she died of a healthy life. .”

In other words, his wife died again.

"..."

In this regard, Uncle Leo could not say anything. He could only try to persuade him like an acquaintance: "For guys like us, it's better to talk less about love..."

As a nearly immortal existence, the changes of time are too cruel for lovers.

It would be fine if he was just a passerby in life, but Andrestein is very serious about every relationship.

It wouldn't matter if he was looking for a young girl, but he still liked the kind of old lady who had almost no possibility of further progress on the career path.

In this case, the gap in life span will lead to more separations and separations.

All I can say is that luckily Ander can come out of every relationship.

……

While the two were talking, a girl's voice came from the side of the two: "Huh? Uncle Leo? And the old Mr. Dong... who I saw at the Dorney City auction before."

The two turned their heads and saw a girl wearing a mage robe. A dragon head and slime were exposed from the backpack on her back.

[Third sister, you want to say "old thing", right? 】

Amidst Nanajima Semu's teasing, Belsi smiled, and then stared at the white-haired old man who clearly smelled of [Dragon Slayer].

There is no mistake, this man has indeed killed a dragon.

But it's still the same sentence... Bercy doesn't really care about this.

"Ah, yes, Europe and Nei City have not been very peaceful recently. Thinking that you are in the Northern Territory and Mr. Long has been knighted, I thought of opening a purchase shop here."

Uncle Leo said this, he laughed and started chatting with the mage girl... Belxi paid more attention to the white-haired old man.

"Oh, I remember you...that day you brought the dragon scales to the auction."

As Ender said this, he looked at the sleek Belsi and thought of something: "So, the [Marquis Longlong] who has become a popular topic recently is actually you? You are really amazing."

How should I put it... Is it like three autumns if you don't see each other every day?

At that time, the Abyss Dragon who auctioned his scales for gold coins actually became the lord of the Northern Territory and a Marquis.

Speaking of which, didn't it mean that the hero and the devil were following Mr. Megan's daughter? Why didn't you see it...

Did you go out?

With this thought in mind, Andrestan waited patiently for the conversation between the mage girl and the uncle to end, and then asked in a low voice: "Where are the brave man and the devil king you mentioned...?"

Leo was stunned by Andrestan's words.

"I thought you found out the clues and that's why you chatted with Belshe."

Leo said this, and then with a surprised expression on Andrestan's face as if he had thought of something, he said: "Yes, it's the abyss dragon named Belshi and his slime head hat."

If Seven Island Semu heard this, she would definitely be pissed off, but now they have gone far.

"Of course, this is just a guess... I've said it before, it's the [suspected] Hero and the Demon King."

Uncle Leo, who said this, looked very emotional: "Besides, it is difficult to distinguish who is the devil and who is the brave."

Andrestan has his own opinion——

"No matter how you think about it, the Abyss Dragon is not a brave man. After all, it is an evil creature, and its personality is relatively..."

Andrestan said, he found a more suitable description: "More out of the ordinary... although the [Belshe] you mentioned may be an exception."

High emotional intelligence: escape.

Low EQ: Just a fool.

"Maybe...but that doesn't stop us from coming here and treating it as the truth, Andrestan."

Uncle Leo said this, patting Ender on the shoulder: "In that case, you can be my clerk!"

Be a store clerk? This is somewhat...

Andrestan was obviously unwilling. He responded reluctantly: "If I can't prove that they are the savior, I will not choose to stay in this territory..."

"I will observe for a while. If there is no progress, I will leave the Northern Territory... After all, you are just guessing about their identities, right?"

When Ender said this, the surrounding Northland leaders seemed to start moving in the same direction.

It was the direction that Bercy and the mage girl left.

"Let's go! Boss Longlong and the others are going to build a new building again!"

"Wow! Very wow!"

"Ah? I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and today I can finally see a miracle with my own eyes!"

"..."

In the words of the surrounding people, Ander and Leo looked at each other, and then let the crowd wrap them to the front of an open space.

I happened to see Belsi and Semu Nananoshima flying in the air, planning the placement of buildings.

"So, why is there a special building like a fountain statue..."

[Brother, you don’t understand. Building a fountain can increase prosperity. A full-level fountain can produce 24 diamonds every 3 hours! 】

"Diamond? What is that?"

[Codename: Used to buy skins in Demon Project. 】

"Skin? So awesome?"

[But I didn’t find a skin shop, and I didn’t see the fountain producing diamonds, so maybe... it’s just for decoration. 】

"Then you say dei?!"

[I’ve made it all~ It’s not easy to celebrate the New Year~]

Then...

In full view of everyone, and under the gazes of wide-eyed Leo and Ender, a huge fountain appeared out of thin air in the center of the territory.

Visible to the naked eye, above the fountain is a stone sculpture with its head held high. The texture of the scales is clearly visible, which shows its strong carving skills.

Yes, what the sculpture presents are exactly Bercy and Seven Island Semu!

"..."

"Are you still leaving?"

"I think...it's probably not necessary."

Leo and Ender said this.
