Different World Online

The Astral Travelers, a group of people who rely on the astral plane to travel through time and space;

Among them are adventurers eager for novelty, Titan creations looking for the remains of ancient gods, and astral merchants...

When they encounter a powerful force, they are friendly merchants, adventurers, and pioneers of civilization;

When they encounter indigenous forces, they will instantly transform into greedy plunderers, robbers, slave traders...

Simply put, this is a group of guys who are quite free in their own positioning.

They rely on the lenient Styx Contract to maintain a loose alliance, and they will be there wherever there is an opportunity to make a fortune.

If it weren't for the Nine Rings Tower's clear ban, they would even pack and sell the living Void Zerg to the entire multiverse, selling them to those kings and lords who like to seek excitement and have big brains;

Even these living bugs may eventually develop into a horrific insect swarm.

Even as a wanderer with a fairly flexible moral code, Old Pete wasn't too impressed with this group of people.

Taking Steve into the large building and sending away the smiling waiter, Old Pete quickly found an empty counter with a welded fence and knocked on the wooden countertop with his hand.

"Two sets of sturdy clothing, sized to..."

After a pause, Old Pete glanced back at Steve's figure.

"The size is based on an adult male human from the north of Toril, dark grey, with lots of pockets.

Plus one standard weight Meteorite Steel Ingot and two standard weight Iron Ingots."

Behind the iron grille of the counter, a large green face with a smile on its face was raised.

"Okay, is there anything else you need besides this?

We also provide red dragon eggs that are about to hatch~

With just three thousand platinum crystal coins, you can have a loyal partner to guard your home~"

"No need!" Old Pete refused coldly with a straight face.

"Okay, I'll give you 13 gold coins and 2 silver coins in total."

Outside the counter, Old Pete pursed his lips in displeasure, and put his hand back on the counter, underneath which were 13 large golden cuties and 2 small silver cuties;

Seeing this, the green-skinned dwarf behind the counter quickly stretched out his thin and weak arms and grabbed the coins into the counter.

"Here is your receipt. You can pick up the goods tomorrow~"

Hearing this, Old Pete snatched the slightly yellowed sandpaper receipt and stuffed it into his chest pocket without even looking at it.

"Let's go!"

Waving to Steve, Old Pete walked out of the building quickly.

“I hate goblins!

This group of green, skinny, short guys are as greedy as mice and they give birth to a large litter in their lifetime.

Every time I see their dirty fingers touching my money, I want to take out my dagger and cut off their limbs. "

Repair limbs...

Steve curled his lips speechlessly.

It can be seen that old Pete has a strong prejudice against creatures like goblins, just like Steve inexplicably hates bugs.

"Then why don't you change the counter?" Steve asked curiously.

"Because I'd rather face the goblin's ugly wrinkled face than stay there any longer."

"Did you meet someone you know?" Steve asked calmly.

Hearing this, Old Pete's expression froze and he looked at Steve as if he had seen a ghost.

“Your sharpness scares me!

Tell me quickly, how did you know that?

Hearing this, Steve did not speak, but looked around cautiously for a moment;

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he reached into his pocket, took out a bulging purse and handed it to Old Pete.

"You're too impatient, and a guy who just passed by us gave me a malicious look.

Is he the captain's enemy? "

Looking at the bulging wallet and innocent-looking Steve in front of him, Old Pete was shocked once again.

He did meet an 'acquaintance', and an entrenched enemy of Team Shudeman.

That's why he seemed a little impatient. Neither he nor Steve had weapons in their hands, so they would be at a disadvantage if they came into contact with each other.

Although the Nine Rings Tower prohibits all private fights on the surface, they generally don't care much about those forces with backers... that is, those with gods behind them.

The god behind Shudeman is the God of Suffering, and the god behind his enemies is the mortal enemy of the God of Suffering - the goddess of abuse, also known as the Maiden of Pain and the Whip of Will, Lovita;

"Based on these alone, you concluded that the man was the captain's enemy?"

"Yeah!" Steve nodded seriously.

"You're scared, that means he has a grudge against you.

And I am a member of the team, and he looked at me with ill intent as I was following you, which shows that he has a grudge against the captain.

Simple and clear~"

"So you stole his purse?"

"Yeah!" Steve nodded again and explained as a matter of course:

"It's rare to find someone as handsome as me. Look, I'm going to charge you!"

Hearing this, Old Pete covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Only then did he remember that Steve was a potential thief.

However, to be able to steal things right under the nose of a legendary strong man, this kid is really gifted!

What he didn't know was that Steve could now not only make his entire body vanish, but also make parts of his body and objects it touched vanish.

It is not difficult for him to exchange a stone for a bulging wallet in a crowded environment as long as he has the psychological quality.

As for why Steve handed the purse to Old Pete;

First, old Pete returned the favor by spending money to buy clothes for himself;

Second, even if Steve has the money in his hands, he has no vision and no connections, so it is very likely that he will be ripped off by unscrupulous merchants;

Thirdly, he was afraid that there might be some tracking gadget on this broken purse. But this world is filled with magic, so he had to be on guard.

Walking home with a bulging wallet, Old Pete's mood inexplicably improved.

He admires this guy Steve!

He is thoughtful, decisive, willing to learn, responsible, and most importantly, he speaks nicely!

So he was going to teach this guy some of the real good stuff—the Shadow Dancer's specialties.

Just when Steve and Old Pete returned to the base, the real core of the Shield City, Shudeman and Matthew were reporting their work with a serious face.

“The first gravity ring to be attacked and crashed belonged to the logistics supply location of Area 14 on the front line;

At that time, the insect swarm's attack was extremely fierce, and there were a total of five Void Leviathans that rushed to the surface of the planet and reached the star ring; normally, these insects would send out at most two Leviathans at a time!

I have reason to suspect that someone in the team has colluded with the Zerg Blade Queen!"

Matthew finished with a serious face.

Opposite him, an old wizard holding a pen, wearing a simple wizard robe and with a white beard nodded silently.

"Any clues?"

"Yes!" Matthew, the Wind Sword Saint, nodded heavily.

“The surviving gravity ring guards and I killed several invaders;

Judging from their occupations and the tattoos on their bodies, they should belong to the Church of the God of War and the Church of the God of Thieves."

Hearing this, the old wizard's eyes slowly narrowed.

The god of war, Karecgos, is one of the gods of the world of Toril. He has weak power and his duties cover war, weapon skills, destruction and plunder.

If this was the plan of the god of war, Karecgos, then it would make sense;

After all, any large-scale war will provide this god with faith and divine power.

However, it is rare to see Mask, the god of thieves, get involved.
