Chapter 483 The Results Of The Test (Part 5)



Naturally the entrance to the mansion of the chief, is not for everyone to use, but all the important people can gather there in emergency cases, like the current one.

So, with Ender being the leader of one of the four strongest hunting teams, he used his token of identity to unlock the door, to reveal the current discussion ongoing.

Even if they were at the entrance of the mansion, Daimon's eyes could bypass the walls, and his ears were sharp enough to fully witness what was happening in the main hall of the mansion.

There was a large rectangular table, with enough space for more than thirty people, but right now there were only around fifteen or so occupied seats.

At one of the corners of the table, there was a slim old man, his skin lacked luster and his eyes were slightly dent, making him look sick, that being said his presence wasn't weak at all, at least Daimon could tell that if the old man gave his all, he could last a few rounds against Ismael.

Two of the other corner seats were empty, because they belonged to Ismael and Hal, as for the last one, there was a bearded fat man wearing fine clothes and a scepter which had a beast core at its top, giving him a noble-like appearance.

Or at least that would have been the case, if he wasn't smacking his hand on the table as he shouted at the old man.

"Father-in-law, those two had gone crazy, they are attacking a lot of people at once, please officially declare them enemies and use the guarding array to stop them, otherwise I will go and hire a mercenary force and raze this place to the ground!".

Next to the fat bearded man, there was a woman in her thirties who had a twisted expression, which slightly diminished as she heard the man saying he will take the matter in his hands if she wasn't given a proper explanation.

The slim old man sighed before saying.

"I have known Ender ever since his father and uncle were still alive, they acted as bait for a middle stage Arch rank magic beast that was driven out of its territory and ended up coming right at the town, which as you know lacks the ability to defend against such a thing".

"I can swear with my life that Ender wouldn't bring harm to this town on purpose, since that would be against the will that he inherited from his father, so I want to hear what is happening directly from him, before taking my decision".

The woman gritted her teeth as she stood up from her seat with a hatred filled expression, to then say.

"Don't give me that crap, my brother's mansion collapsed, killing everyone inside of it, even if Hal managed to somehow survive, I'm pretty sure my little nephew is dead, I get that you aren't from the same family branch as us, but they were still related to you, if you don't give me a proper explanation, then...".

Ignoring the woman's ramble, the cold voice of a young man interrupted her.

"He tried to kill me, and was killed in retaliation, that's the explanation of what happened".

All the presents in the room turned to see the origin of the voice, just to see, Ender, Tila as well as two unknown people entering through the door of the meeting room.

Well, there was one person who did recognize them, the short merchant Gary, who also had a seat on the table, though it wasn't a main seat, as he wasn't a part of this town but a travelling merchant of course.

Obviously now that the supposedly causers of the turmoil on the town appeared, the many guards standing at the corners of the room, immediately pointed at Daimon's group with their weapons.

Which made Ender to rush in front of Daimon, before things got out of hand, he spoke.

"Keep your weapons away, I don't know what you believe, but we only attacked because Ismael as well as others tried to kill us, and the same applies to these two friends who were only stopping for a day in our town!".

"As for what young Gabriel mentioned about Alan, he is saying the truth, I was the one negotiating a price with Alan over the latest catch, and he deliberately gave me a low price to then try to kick us out, and grab lady Priscila, you can imagine the rest, chief", said Ender at the slim old man.

But before the old man could say something, the fat man snorted and pointed at Ender.

"Do you expect us to just believe that, you are just putting all the blame on Alan, and saying you were defending yourselves but what I saw was that you were the ones attacking".

"Chief, I have supported this town and in exchange my nephew was killed, if you don't give me justice then I'll have to get it with swords!", he said.

"I see names on the assigned to the chairs, are they the right ones?", Daimon's voice once again interrupted the heated discussion, as he turned to see Ender, who knew that what was going to happen couldn't be avoided.

"Yes, the seats are assigned, and they can only be occupied by those who held a certain amount of influence in the town", he said.

"Oh, I see", not even a second later, Daimon pointed his index finger forwards and a thing line of white light, was shot from it, piercing the head fat bearded man, who collapsed on the spot, with his previous arrogant expression froze on his face even in his death, as he didn't see the attack coming.

"I want to know, why weren't equipment like this one, offered in the stores, I mean the type to use cores, not necessarily Arch ranked ones", he said.

Gary bitterly smiled in response.

"Young master Gabriel must be playing with this merchant, in the area of the wasteland, no merchant has the resources to buy Beast Weapons to sell, in fact, in the wasteland area, they can only be bought from the black market at the border Tiria city, the only "city" in the wasteland, and the one that is at the border of the outer region".

Daimon's eyes glowed behind his mask, first that was some valuable information, second Gary clearly had an expression of urgency when he mentioned that city, in other words, the reason as to why he was packing his stuff earlier, is because he wanted to go there, for some reason, which didn't matter to Daimon.

What was important, is that the merchant had the permit to go all the way to that place, the outer region might not be comparable to the central area, but they were still "habitable" areas there, in other words people could at least fill their stomachs there, unlike the wasteland region.

"Merchant Gary, I happen to have another batch of those things, which I can give to you, in exchange for a ride to that Tiria city, what do you say", said Daimon.

The merchant was charmed with the offer, since Daimon seemed interested in Beast Equipment, that was probably his goal, and he could enter Brown Wind town, so he isn't a cannibal nor a wanted person, which means he'll be getting some nice things in exchange for a ride, not to mention such a strong people would be good to have around in a dangerous travel.

Of course, Daimon directed the attention to the Beast Equipment, because a person with unknown goals, is way more suspicious that one with a clear objective.

"Sure, I have an empty space in my caravan, young master Gabriel can take one of the carriages, but I must say that I'm leaving as soon as possible tonight, is that okay?".

Daimon nodded in response.

"That's perfect", he answered, at the same time, the subordinates that left earlier returned, they were sweating due to how they rushed to bring as many mana crystals ad they could find, including theirs.

They respectfully placed around twenty of those bags, which were more spacious than the rings of the majority of people, with the exception of Jeremy, Hal and Ismael, on the table for Daimon to inspect them.

With a quick peek, Daimon was amazed at the amount of mana crystals he was seeing, though there were only around a hundred million of them, these were high grade ones, Daimon couldn't help but smirk behind his mask, with this he could help those two advance a bit faster.

Half Emperors can only use high grade mana crystals for cultivation, but the production at the four galaxies isn't enough for a constant flow of them, each year a few millions of them being mined was a great harvest.

The same applied to Neptune, low and middle grade ones were abundant, but high-grade ones weren't, it's for that same reason that maximum experts, like Calvin's grandfather, Vincent or Aurora, were quite old, it took them hundreds of thousands of years, to advance naturally, while using some crystals here and there.

Of course, they could use the ones their respective forces got, but then Stellar ranked things were valued most of the times, in high grade crystals too, so they couldn't just keep them for themselves, otherwise their forces will be outdated.

Daimon kept the bags in his inventory, to later give her part to Sarah, since she also owned some of the things that were given to the chief and the others.

Speaking of the crazy girl, she wasn't as interested in the crystals as she was in the invisible to others, screen that appeared in front of Daimon, the moment he took the crystals.

When he reduced the number of living people, he already made the number of reserves in the granary more abundant, as there were less mouths to feed, the chief also changes some of the equipment with Gary for food, so the shortage of rations was over.

As for the origin of the problem, the problem of this town is that the relation between common people and fighters, was too unbalanced, there were too few mages or knights, which will change with the massive amount of decent equipment they got.

The other problem was corruption, and while there will always be a dark side to anything in this world, the ones who purposedly created chaos were dead, or on their way to hell, in Jeremy's case.

[Congratulation, you have successfully eliminated the source of troubles in Brown Wind town, please choose your reward:

[Hero Shield (It can block up to five attacks from any native of Kerrol)]

[Hero Sword (It can inflict a lethal wound in any native of Kerrol up to five times)]

Daimon raised an eyebrow, the reward had nothing to do with Jasmine, the rewards were quite basic as well, still he didn't pick anything yet, because he was in public, there was also no other notification appearing, either from fake or from his own system.

"I'll be returning to the inn, see you in an hour", said Daimon to Gary, as he stood up and then left followed by Sarah, Gary also left not too long after.

Ender and Tila stayed behind as well as the old man.

"If they weren't adjudicators, could it be that they escaped a human farm?", asked the old man, to which Ender and Tila nodded.

"Most likely... I can't believe he basically gifted us all the equipment from those treasuries, though they probably don't care, it is still a life-saving grace for the town", said Tila.

"Maybe they are going to the front to fight with the flesh eating demons, with their strength it shouldn't be a problem, unless a noble appeared", added Ender.

Their journey with those two mysterious people was over, they had to focus on the town now... or so they thought, but who knows what the future awaits.
