"Inheritor"? The God-King's Will Endures! Bonfire Feast

The "Mercenary Hall" is one of the distinctive buildings among them.

It can be understood as an urban stronghold with its own "Mercenary Guild". Normally, it can hire a small number of mercenaries for combat, and also hire a certain number of mercenaries for a fee.

There's also "Forced Conscription" during wartime!

but...

With the Guild Weapon missing, the already weakened Sky City has lost about half of its defensive capabilities.

Abilities like "Forced Conscription" and "Forced Taxation" cannot be activated without Guild Weapon!

"I've only been awake for a short time, and now I have to go back again."

Time is a terrible thing.

A strange emotion flashed across Gros's face. His brown, horizontal pupils stared directly at the blinding Sun Anglerfish in the sky, and a cheerful smile appeared on his goat-like face.

"Indeed, besides the name of the God-King, only poetry and music can endure forever."

"The God-King will surely return!"

"Is the appearance of this Divine Scion... an instruction from the God-King?"

More than 500 years is a very long time.

Bafolk are not a long-lived race, and Gros Horned Rage still looks middle-aged because he has been living for hundreds of years.

Every so often, he would go to the temple and use its "Time Stop" environment to fall into a deep sleep in order to prolong his life.

But there are limits after all...

Will he be able to wait for the return of the God-King?

Gros Horned Rage was unaware of this.

He couldn't wait; the Zhen race... possessed a longer lifespan, but it also had its limits.

Maybe it's just that guy!

A monstrous figure flashed through Gros Horned Rage's mind, and he shuddered almost imperceptibly, shaking his head.

As servants created by the God-King, if they were to pass away one day, then... a qualified successor would need to be found.

Apart from the God-King, no one is qualified to control [Sky City]. The so-called "successor" is simply a new servant!

Gros Horned Rage snapped out of his daze, a resolute and cold expression appearing on his face.

We need to return to [Sky City] to discuss the matter, and there's still a lot of information and intelligence that needs to be investigated!

"When Dragon Breath tears the sky."

Bang!

"The light of dawn was obscured by the tattered dragon wings."

Bang!

"The eight supreme crowns descend."

Thud! Thud!

"Resurrect all the withered starlight~"

"Behold! The mighty power of the God-King weaves a rainbow bridge of truth!"

"His music is infused with immortal chords--"

"..."

A crisp drumbeat rang out!

The elegant and ancient melody rang out once more, and as the wind and sand swept by, there was no longer any figure where Gros Horned Rage had just been standing.

"May the will of the God-King endure forever!"

--Entering November.

Tang Zheng suddenly realized that he, who was always in a hurry, had actually found himself in a state of "doing nothing".

Having reached level 80, I want to advance further, but I lack information on acquiring new professions, as well as other aspects of my progress.

Whether it's Council State or probing the Eight Greed Kings Guild, Princess Renner and the Elf King are currently acting independently.

This won't yield results in a short time.

certainly.

Only Tang Zheng was left with some free time.

The Council State, the Kingdom Ri Yestize, the Baharuth Empire, the Slane Theocracy, the Holy Kingdom, Elf Kingdom, except for the "Kasanas City Alliance" which they have not yet set foot in.

The influence of these countries on Tang Zheng, whether direct or indirect, is undergoing some changes.

In this situation fraught with undercurrents.

Tang Zheng felt that he also needed to "take it easy" to carefully consider the current plans and arrangements, and even review his past actions.

Night falls.

Beside a lake deep in the Abelion Hills.

The orange-red campfire crackled and popped as it burned firewood, and three soft-shelled turtles, each weighing seven or eight pounds, sat on the fire.

There was also a cleaned wild boar and a spotted deer nearby.

The sizzling oil dripping down made the campfire below burn even more fiercely, intensifying the atmosphere of the bonfire feast.

The air was filled with the aroma of various grilled meats and the rich scent of wine.

Bottles of the wine called "Blood Red" lay scattered on the ground, reflecting a vibrant red luster in the firelight. This was an expensive wine from within the Kingdom.

Even for the Demi-Human Species, it was a rare delicacy.

"Rune Technology are the greatest Dwarf forging techniques."

"Shut up! Forging, Rune Technology are outdated."

"You bastard, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"The Runecraft Item I forge are far superior to your magical artifacts."

"Ha!"

"Don't you even look at the forging materials you used? With those materials, I could forge ten magical items!"

"..."

The three Dwarf, Gondo, Dark Dwarf Shi), Grey Dwarf Duan), were flushed and drunk, arguing loudly with their Dwarf bristling and eyes wide open.

Every single word I say!

The three Dwarf would occasionally pick up a large ceramic bowl and take a hearty gulp of wine.

Since the "Crimson" wine was all gone, the three of them switched to drinking the wine from the Lizardman's treasure, the "Wine Jar."

Aside from the relatively poor taste, it could be described as fine wine to the Dwarf ' palates.

The Dwarf Gondo Dezheng was the Rune Smith that Tang Zheng took away from the Dwarven Kingdom.

The Dark Dwarf Shi was originally the leader of the Dark Dwarf race, who lived in the Abelion Hills. The Dark Dwarf played a role in the Hill War to some extent.

Now,

The Dark Dwarf race has completely submitted to Tang Zheng.

As for the Grey Dwarf Duan, he was the forging minister of the Grey Dwarf Oasis in the Despair Valley, and he had a blood feud with Tang Zheng.

but.

Knowing that he could not take revenge and that he was the only one left of the entire Grey Dwarf race, he now devoted himself to researching forging techniques and hoping to help the Grey Dwarf race to flourish again.

Enri carried an empty water jug and walked quietly past the three arguing Dwarf, seemingly not wanting to disturb their quarrel.

I've heard that Dwarf have a bad temper when it comes to drinking.

"The three Dwarf, though arguing, actually quite agree with each other, don't they?"

Enri had this thought in her mind, and with the help of the orange-red light emitted by the burning firewood, she saw a conspicuous figure on the other side of the campfire.

A serpentine Demi-Human entire body radiates a seven-colored glow; whether it is day or night, wherever there is light, the scales of this person will always easily attract people.

"Mr. Rokesh, Mr. Hectowaizes, and Mr. Gogine."

Enri, with her chestnut-gold ponytail tied in front of her chest, walked briskly forward and greeted the three Demi-Human of different body types.

"Beast General" Hectowaizes looked at Enri, a gentle smile appearing on his expressionless face, and nodded slightly.

"Oh! It's Enri."

"Martial Lord" Ge Jin held a roasted pig leg, biting off most of it with his sharp teeth, his eyes lighting up:

I heard that quite a few interesting things happened during your trip.

"Mr. Gorkin, you can't use 'interesting'."

Enri held the empty kettle in both hands, placing it in front of her chest, and responded in a serious tone:

"Whether it was the events in the Great Forest of Tob or the war between the Empire and the Kingdom, many people lost their lives because of it."

"Feel sorry."

A little embarrassed, Gorkin raised his large arm and patted his head, then swallowed the food in his mouth and asked earnestly:

"I've heard about the Four Imperial Knights named Corrosive Wolf during the war between the Empire and the Kingdom, right?"

Enri recalled for a moment and nodded, "Yes, this Corrosive Wolf was defeated by ' Blood Rose ' Lainas."

That brings us to this.

Enri felt a little happy inside. As a citizen of the Kingdom, she naturally hoped that the Kingdom would win against the empire's invasion.

"Yeah."

Gogine's expression was slightly complicated; he seemed to have remembered the name Lainas.

"Corrosive Wolf" was the previous "Martial Lord," so the two naturally knew each other. Since he was recruited by that Blood Emperor, his strength must have improved, and he may have stepped into the Hero Realm.

I never expected to lose.

Having spent so much time in the Empire, Gorkin also developed a special affection for it.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Enri?"

From the "Rainbow Scales" Rokesh Enri must have something to discuss with him. Its serpentine body writhed slightly, raising its upper body a few notches.

Please feel free to speak.

There weren't many humans at the entire bonfire feast. Apart from that terrifying man, only Enri stood before them, and she looked at all the Demi-Human with the same gaze.

A peculiar human girl!

"Rainbow Scales" Rokesh the man's inner assessment.

"Um... Rokesh to use magic to create water?" Enri asked a little shyly.

"The First-Tier ' Water Creation '?"

"Rainbow Scales" (Rokesh).

"That's right, Miss Crusch Lulu mentioned it; it should be this magic."

Enri nodded quickly, picking up the empty kettle in her hand. "Could you Rokesh?"

It's just a small matter.

"Rainbow Scales" Rokesh its scarlet eyes, flickered its forked tongue and smiled in response, while casting its magic and asking in confusion:

"I wonder if Miss Enri could enlighten me? After all, there's a lake right next to us."

First-Tier "Water Creation"!

A stream of water materialized out of thin air and quickly filled the water bottle in Enri's hand.

"Water Creation" is considered Utility Magic, it is not offensive, and the water it creates is relatively sweet.

"Rainbow Scales" Rokesh is not only a Warrior, but also possesses weak magical abilities. However, magic is not his primary means of communication, so he has only learned some simple Utility Magic.

"Water Creation" is one of them!

The reason I learned this magic is because it belongs to a variant of the Snake King, and its seven-colored scales give it a higher status and prestige.

therefore.

Maintaining overall cleanliness at all times makes one's scales more dazzling, which not only demonstrates one's majesty but also serves as a silent testament to one's power.

"Because the captain likes to drink plain water."

Enri had no intention of hiding anything and said softly, "So I thought I'd bring some clean, sweet water for the captain."

A look of surprise flashed across "Rainbow Scales" Rokesh's eyes; this was an unexpected intelligence gain.

He left with Enri.

Go Jin started arguing with "Rainbow Scales" Rokesh about fighting, and Rokesh did not refuse. The two soon began fighting not far away.

Let's make this bonfire party even more lively!

The White Mist Witch, the Verdant Leaf Witch, the Lizardman Crusch Lulu, the Dryad Pinison, and Nfirea sat on the other side of the campfire.

The laughter and chatter of several female Demi-Human.

This made Nfirea a little uneasy. As a human, he couldn't appreciate the appearance of Demi-Human, but to Nfirea, their voices were all pleasant to hear.

"Tang..."

Nfirea felt that she should go back to continue her research on medicinal herbs, but she didn't want to waste Tang Zheng's good intentions.

This bonfire party was an event organized by Tang Zheng to allow everyone to get to know each other and exchange ideas; it was a gathering of all the core members in the Abelion Hills region.

"It feels... very good."

Nfirea silently chewed the fish in her mouth, then raised her head, her golden bangs obscuring her eyes, and looked around curiously.

The laughter of the Twin Witches and others, the argument of the three Dwarf, and the battle between several Demi-Human showing off their strength.

It clearly looks chaotic.

Yet it also gave Nfirea a strange sense of harmony and peace, even dispelling her recent feelings of confusion and uncertainty while she was busy researching herbs.

They seemed to have been subtly calmed down!

"Grandma, I think I'm starting to like this place more and more, even though these Demi-Human look really scary."

A smile unconsciously crept onto Nfirea's face, a radiant smile illuminated by the campfire, as she turned to look into the distance:

"Tang, thank you... for showing me a different world, and so many precious and unknown medicinal herbs."

Beside the lake.

Tang Zheng lay lazily on the ground, his head resting on the belly of the Barghest's soft black fur, a meat bone casually tossed in his hand.

"Aww~"

The Barghest barked happily, immediately opened its mouth, and bit the bone that was offered to it, crunching away as it ate it.

The lake was icy cold, and the center was already frozen over; it's November, and the weather had already turned cold.

but.

The chill had no effect on anyone present; even the seemingly delicate Nfirea was level 28.

"Captain."

Enri walked over with light and joyful steps, carrying a clean glass in one hand and a kettle of boiling water in the other.

"Oh, Enri."

Tang Zheng turned his head, lazily not getting up from the Barghest, and simply gave a brief greeting.

Enri didn't care. She smiled at the Barghest, walked to the side, knelt down, poured a glass of hot water into it, and gently placed it beside Tang Zheng.

The air was quiet.

rustling~

A white ice feather drifted past my eyes.

"Um?"

Enri paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky and saw white snowflakes falling softly.

Has it snowed?

Tang Zheng, leaning against the Barghest, had already sat up. He looked at the frozen lake, smiled slightly, and thought of the steaming water cup:

"A timely snowfall promises a bumper harvest."

"Auspicious snow... auspicious harvest... year?" Enri stammered, seemingly unable to understand the meaning.

"Simply put, it means heavy winter snow, which is a good omen." Tang Zheng took a sip of his hot water and went back with a smile.

"Awooo~" the Barghest let out a soft yelp.
