Chapter 359 Wealth Reward
The reef camp was unusually silent at this time.
A variety of food was placed on the wooden table.
But the problem is that some of the food placed on it looks normal.
And those two or three didn't look like food, they felt a bit like some kind of filth.
Especially Mathilsa's bowl, everyone even felt a hint of poison from it.
What does this mean?
Want to eat poisonous food?
And the few plates that looked like they were meant to be eaten didn't look very edible.
There was also a mixed smell floating in the tent.
I had to open a hole to get rid of the odor.
"Why don't we just grill the meat? It's easy."
"No problem, no problem."
Everyone quickly agreed.
Not only do they do a bad job themselves, but they also complain about what others do. This is their current situation.
Only Juanlu, with his hands tied, stood by with a smile on his face.
They hadn't cooked their own food for a long time, so they simply had a meal of barbecued meat and then stayed in the camp to rest.
It didn't take long.
Narvi, wrapped in some bandages, regained consciousness.
He sat up suddenly, as if awakened.
The intense movement of getting up made him feel a stinging pain in his weak body, and he couldn't help but let out a hiss of pain.
Then he turned around and looked around.
I found that the whole camp seemed to be brand new, with no trace of fighting at all, and Alka and the others were also around.
It was a little strange for a moment.
"Don't worry, you're not dreaming." Juanlu stood aside, waving his bandaged hands and said.
"Where's Kaluto? Did you guys kill him?"
Hearing this, Alka shook his head: "He ran away."
Sighing, Narvi leaned back on the bed and looked at everyone. He knew what everyone wanted to know from him.
He adjusted himself to a more comfortable and less uncomfortable position and began to tell his story.
“You should know that the Nafas family was wiped out overnight for unknown reasons.
The only people who are still related to this family by blood are those of us who were expelled from the family for various reasons."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Alka even knew more.
Narvi said, looking at everyone and asked: "You must have heard many versions, all kinds of speculations about why this powerful family was destroyed overnight."
"That's right, but there is no specific conclusion." Simon said after thinking for a while.
Hearing this, Alka remembered that they only knew the exact information about the Nafas family from Gilliana and had not yet told everyone.
The main reason is that this information is no longer of any use and he put it behind his mind.
Hearing this, Narvi sighed: "Although there is no specific conclusion, anyone who knows a little bit knows that the Nafas family was destroyed because of their collusion with the devil."
Alka nodded, and he really wanted to say that this was all he knew.
Because the Flower Fairy believers who are related to their family and the insiders of the church know it clearly.
It’s just that for the sake of reputation or other reasons, the specific reason was not spread.
“My grandfather was once a member of this family, but I don’t know why he suddenly felt guilty.
He began to resist, then deliberately committed an unforgivable mistake and was expelled from the family, and was given a spell not to tell the secret.
This spell lasted until the Nafas family was completely wiped out, and only then did we realize that we belonged to a powerful family.
This was a huge surprise to me and my brothers and sisters when I was young. "
At this point, Narvi's face showed sadness and he sighed heavily.
His expression revealed a hint of nostalgia.
“Because I was young, my grandfather didn’t tell me more details.
We began to worship the extinct family, and there were many rumors at the time, such as that the culprit for the extinction of the family was actually the Holy Mother Church.
For us young children, such statements had great credibility.
So we believed it.”
This is normal.
Adults and children alike prefer to hear more bizarre versions, and ignore the information brought by the already solid evidence.
“It wasn’t until we grew up, through experience and understanding of the world, that we realized that what we believed as children was not necessarily true.
But the ideas of childhood are deeply rooted and it is difficult to get rid of them. People always believe what they believe. And the one who was most deeply influenced was my younger brother, Kalutto. "
"He firmly believed that his family was great and was being persecuted. He decided to find out why."
"So he became like this?" Jason asked from the side.
Narvi nodded, but then shook his head.
"That's part of the reason, but it's not all. I don't know what exactly caused him to become what he is now.
But then he went crazy, dug my grandfather's body out of the grave, killed my father, killed my sister, and wiped out my sister."
When he said this, there wasn't much emotion on Narvi's face, as if he was used to it.
Everyone was slightly shocked, but they kept silent and did not respond to this.
Too much reaction would only make him recall the sad past.
But they knew in their hearts how huge such a blow would be for Narvi at that time.
"That's why I wanted to find him, I wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to kill me.
There must be a reason why he is so blindly pursuing the bloodline of his closest relatives.
And in the later understanding, I also found that the reason that influenced him to be so crazy was probably related to the devil or evil spirit that the Nafas family came into contact with at that time. "
Then he shook his head helplessly and said, "If they were able to clear out the evil spirits from the entire family overnight, how could they not have the means to affect the remaining bloodline?"
From there, he basically simply recounted their experiences.
This information allowed Alka and the others to understand more about this madman.
In other words, the evil god that Kaluto believes in now is very likely the culprit who once led to the destruction of the Nafas family.
"He will surely die in our hands."
Alka said, looking at the map in his hand.
At this time, the symbol of a skull with a dagger inserted in it replaced the red cross on the map, indicating that this was Kalutto.
And where he was now was at the edge of the chaotic area.
It is very far away from their location, at least three or four days' journey.
The huge mouth that swallowed him was connected to an extremely long distance.
But it doesn't matter.
His precise positioning cannot be escaped as long as he is on this map.
Alka thought as he looked at the symbol on the map.
“We can’t take it lightly. According to Narvi, there are problems with the cult that Kaluto belongs to and the strength that he has shown.
Our intelligence may be wrong.”
Jason keenly realized that there were certain problems with this information compared to what they knew.
After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.
Looks like we have to be careful.
…
After about three days of hunting, Alka and his team almost cleared all the demons in the area.
"Are you ready to go back?" Xia Daiti asked, writing something in his hand.
Alka nodded: "Let's go back. If we don't go back now, there won't be enough space."
At this time, everyone in the camp was packing up these things.
They didn't bring anything when they came, after all, they had the pocket ring, but when they left, they had to carry a lot of things with them.
There is no way. Although the number of demons is not large, they are almost covered with treasures.
In addition, they cleared out a large area, and even though the number of demons was small, the dismantled materials had already filled their pocket rings.
The remaining materials couldn't be thrown away, because they were all money. Not to mention that a large part of them would be useful to Alka, Simon, and Mathilda.
This resulted in everyone carrying more or less backpacks and luggage containing processed materials.
A large number of black, twisted, and strange-looking horn-shaped objects were piled up in a pile. They were stored in simple wooden boxes.
What's in there is the proof of how many demons they have dealt with.
If there is one thing these demons have in common, it is that they all have horns.
"It's a bit strange to say, why are these corners black?" Jason asked as he dragged the box out.
Most of the horns were pitch black in color. Alka and his friends had never seen a demon with horns on its head that were not black.
"That's because most negative energy manifests itself in dark colors. And the abyss where the demons are is a gathering place for negative energy.
It is normal for the horns of monsters that have lived there for many years to be black, because that is almost the gathering place of some energy residues.
This also makes the corners strong.
Have you ever seen a demon with bright skin? Unless they are a special race or have some special needs, the colors of normal demons are all dark, which means they are a collection of negative energy. "
In response to Jason's question, Simon gave a very professional answer.
Not only Jason, but everyone around him looked as if they had learned something.
"However, if you do find one with bright colors, it's better to just run away."
Colors that don't match are rare.
For the devil, there is only one kind of individual whose color doesn't fit in with the group and who can walk away alive.
That is to be strong enough, strong enough to surpass most of its peers.
In this situation, running away is of course the best option.
Soon they dismantled the makeshift camp, cleared away all traces left inside, and even broke up the entire reef and sank it to the bottom of the water.
Many of the packed materials were piled on the thrusters.
"Let's go back."
With the help of its thrusters, Feiyan moved quickly on the water, creating two splashes of water.
They sailed back all the way, and perhaps because of the faster speed this time, they returned to the temporary camp outside the Fragrant Land in less than a day.
For the people in the Land of Fragrance, this area basically became the temporary residence of Alka and his group.
So even when they returned here, it was still well preserved. When they just came back, they could even see the soldiers who helped them patrol the periphery.
"Ah, I'm so tired. I need to take a rest." Simon said, lying on the small steel bed in the camp.
Everyone just lay down in their respective seats.
This week was indeed a bit too tiring, after all, they were hunting demons around. So in that environment, they hardly had a good sleep and remained alert.
Moreover, they work in shifts when going out hunting.
Plus a quick return trip.
These fatigues accumulate together and are instantly reflected in the body and mind .
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Alka smiled helplessly and lifted the wooden box containing a large basket of evidence above his head.
"Then I'll take care of one last thing first."
As he spoke, he held up a wooden box containing the heads and horns of various demons and walked towards this fragrant land.
We soon arrived at the camp.
"So many?" Gilliana's voice was full of surprise.
At this time, in the camp of the Fragrant Land, Alka had brought all their harvests from the past few days.
The soldiers passing by were also stunned.
Having been dealing with these monsters for some time, they certainly understand what those black sharp corners piled up in the wooden box represent.
They were living demons one after another. In this large frame, the number of demons killed might be close to a hundred. What an exaggerated number.
"Could it be that you are the ones who are clearing out the area around the White Three Flowers Village?" Gilliana asked as if she had thought of something.
Alka nodded: "Yes, it's us. Have you received the news?"
The area they were in before could indeed be considered the surrounding area of White Sanhua Village.
"My soldiers have reported that the number of demonic diseases in the area has dropped significantly. They have even seen people hunting demons, and some traces of battles."
Gilliana said with a smile.
Then he waved his hand, and two soldiers behind him ran up, pulled the wooden box down, and began to count the documents inside.
"Thank you so much for helping us clean up the entire area. Now we can finally take a break." Having said that, Gilliana couldn't help but sigh again.
Soon the horns of the demons were cleared away, although most of the demons were imps and demons of the same level, so they were not very valuable.
But that's enough.
For ordinary soldiers, these little devils are difficult for them to deal with.
Then Gilliana handed two different horns with fine spirals and beautiful textures to Alka.
"I'll return these two since they are more valuable, and I'll take the others. Is that ok?"
"Of course, feel free to use it," Alka said, taking it with a smile.
The two he accepted were the spoils of the only two fourth-stage demons they encountered when they cleared that area in the past few days.
Apart from the horns of these mid-level demons, the horns of other ordinary or even lower-level demons can hardly be considered good materials.
It is difficult to clean and most of it is impurities.
"Counting these two and the other lot, I'll give you 6,000 gold sails to make it a round number. Is that okay?"
Gilliana looked at Alka and said very generously.
Alka nodded and smiled. "Of course it's no problem. I even have to thank the boss."
"boss?"
"Don't worry about it, it's just a small name."
6,000 golden sails, which was more than the number they had hunted, could indeed be considered generous.
Gilliana nodded and did not ask further questions: "So are you going to take the gold coins or exchange them for some equivalent supplies? Except for some strategic items that are needed now, everything else will be sold to you at a normal price."
Obviously, he was asking Alka and the others if they needed some gems, or high-level spell materials unique to the Land of Spirits.
Alka thought about it and wrote a list on the spot.
"Then please help me exchange 1,000 of the gold sails for these materials."
Most of these materials are what is needed on board.
For example, some high-quality seasonings and ingredients, materials for repairing ships, and even fertilizers that allow trees to grow well.
Of course, it is also inseparable from the gems that Jason needs.
Well...it looks like he'll have to be in debt for a while longer.
Gilliana and the others paid very quickly and quickly brought over a large box of coins, along with the materials Alka needed.
Due to manpower constraints, Aka had to transport it back by himself.
Fortunately, Alka had anticipated this and had already cleared out the materials in his pocket ring in the camp, leaving enough space.
They returned to the camp with their harvest.
…
"According to our research, the frequent appearance of demons is not only due to the fact that their control over this place has decreased.
It is also because there is a fixed energy source and a special magic array hidden in the Land of Spirits."
A young man dressed as a scholar pushed up his glasses and put the recorded materials in his hand on the table.
At this time, several people of different appearances were sitting around the table made of flowers.
They can be simply divided into three different forces based on the clothes they wear.
The Church of Our Lady, the Church of the Holy Machine, and the Flower Fairy.
"Now that you know, tell us whatever you think." An old man with a messy white beard sitting nearby said.
Sitting next to him was the muscular and tall Ruikai.
Hearing this, the great gardener Furna frowned and asked, "Then can we find the location of the magic circle, clear it out, and relieve the pressure in the rear."
At this time, the last batch of reinforcements from the two churches of Our Lady and Holy Machine had arrived at the frontline battlefield, relieving a lot of pressure on the entire battlefield.
They have already begun to think of ways to clear out the demons that have been wreaking havoc in the rear and solve this problem once and for all.
Otherwise, they would not have enough energy to counterattack with all their strength and push back the undead souls on the border between life and death.
"No, there is some very advanced, I suspect divine-level power that blocked these arrays. We only found the source of the energy."
The young man who had just spoken answered again.
