Chapter 426 Regional Upgrade

"Mr. Truman, someone razed a low-risk area and killed all the monsters in that area in a short period of time."

In the Caines Courtyard, in the Adventurer's Guild Office in the Fortress City, the fat Marcus pushed open the door of the office.

This should have been his office, but Truman, the head of the Heyman region, was his immediate superior. Before Truman left, Marcus also needed to report some necessary matters to him.

"Oh? Everyone's in high spirits." Retracting his gaze from the terminal projection screen, Truman pinched his nose and smiled.

Low-risk monster areas usually refer to areas where low-level monsters of relatively uniform specifications are active. They are the main activity areas for small-scale or temporary teams of adventurers.

Those who go to such places to hunt demons are usually adventurers with relatively low strength, but if they are willing to invest and prepare more weapons and armaments, it is not impossible for low-strength adventurers to conduct sweeps in low-risk areas.

That kind of raid might be a loss in terms of material gains, but if it involves level experience, it is normal for some novices who are not short of money to have this demand.

"Well... sir, it was a person who independently exterminated the monsters in a low-risk area, and it seems that he did not use any external force." Marcus looked at Truman weakly.

"Huh? Who? How did they fight?" Truman was stunned and frowned seriously.

Truman has been managing the Adventurer's Guild in the Heiman region for many years. He is not a man without insight. A normal brigade has the ability to sweep low-risk areas alone.

But the problem is, although it seems that the monsters have made great concessions in the agreement between humans and monsters, the devil is not a fool, nor is he a money-giving boy, and it is impossible for them to allow human strongmen to keep slaughtering low-level monsters.

It would be fine if they just passed by and killed some ignorant monsters who jumped out to cause trouble, but if there were humans whose combat power far exceeded that of low-level monsters, they would go to the low-level monster area and cause trouble.

The so-called agreement to limit the strength of monsters in each region is invalid in this area.

If the defense line is not advanced to a sufficient depth, the most intuitive manifestation is that some mid- to high-level monsters may run into the low-risk area at any time, and those dangerous monsters will also squat here and backstab the low-end adventurers who come here to hunt monsters.

In this situation, the Adventurer's Guild needs to respond by "upgrading the area", upgrading the original low-risk area to a medium-risk area, a high-risk area or an unknown area.

To some extent, the low-risk area can be regarded as a resource point that attracts low-end adventurers to enter the courtyard. Especially in the early development of the courtyard, it can play a big role in the growth of the human population in the courtyard. Upgrading this area is not a good thing.

"I came to report to you because it may involve issues related to regional upgrading." Marcus looked helpless, and Truman had a bad feeling.

"The large-scale erosion of death energy coupled with the large-scale offensive magic, the magic strength should have reached a high level. The entire area has been plowed, and no living creature is left." Marcus described, and Truman twitched his mouth.

Damn, even if you want to be reckless, you should restrain yourself and use some low-level magic to slowly dart away, or chop and chop. Why are you doing it so recklessly? Now you're going to lose a good low-risk area.

"Besides, the main monster in that area is the Trickster," Marcus added carefully, and anger flashed across Truman's face.

"Who! Who did it!?" Truman demanded.

Fuck, the Deceiver, now it’s good, don’t upgrade to medium danger, just go directly to the unknown area.

Deceivers are good at shapeshifting. They often transform into powerful monsters to scare people. It is easy to deal with if you are sure that the place where they are located is a low-risk area, because they are all fake anyway.

However, if the authenticity cannot be confirmed, then upgrading the medium-risk area is not safe and can only be marked as unknown to avoid errors in the assessment and the Adventurer's Guild being held responsible.

No adventurer likes to go into unknown areas. It is not a big deal if that area is destroyed, but it can also be regarded as a denial of the ability of the Adventurer's Guild.

After all, the star patrol meeting had just ended and the negotiations with the Lord of the Courtyard had just been completed, but as soon as you turned around, you marked an originally low-risk area as unknown. Wow, you are really capable.

Deceitful demons, deceitful demons, the most disgusting thing about them is that they roam around and you are unsure of their true identity.

Although the fraudsters are quite deceptive, they have all been put in low-risk areas. Why are you going to clean up the mess for no reason? How deep is your hatred and resentment?
Truman was very angry. Which bastard was causing this trouble? He couldn't stay in the Caines Courtyard for a few days. Couldn't he wait until he left before causing trouble? !
"Who, those who will go to the fire? Or those who will be annihilated by the disaster? Let them set up a base over there!" Truman shouted at Marcus angrily.

"Well, sir, it's that Mu Hua." Marcus said carefully.

"..." Truman.

Mu Hua, a person who makes Truman entangled. This guy who seems to appear suddenly is very powerful and has made friends with some people he doesn't want to mess with.

The most important thing is that he has mastered some high-level abilities at a young age. There has been a ghost in Kanes these two days, and he is also investigating whether Mu Hua has any relationship with that ghost.

Mu Hua's abilities and summoned beasts were suspicious. What if Mu Hua had a relationship with that jealous ghost? Truman had been in the industry for many years and had always been steady. He really didn't want to provoke Mu Hua.

"Sir?" Truman was stunned, and Marcus called softly. Mu Hua was involved in the negotiations with the monster leaders in the courtyard, and Marcus preferred to throw his problems to Truman.

It's because you are sitting in our office now.

"How's the investigation into Mu Hua's situation going?" Truman asked Marcus with a frown after being awakened by Marcus.

"He lives a very regular life, and usually interacts with people in the town. He went to the Demon Island some time ago and may have a relationship with Tao Les, but no jealous ghosts have been found among the people he has come into contact with." Marcus replied.

Because Mu Hua was young, and he was killing a lot in the courtyard war in public, and there were no unusual ghosts on the battlefield at that time, so even though people knew that Mu Hua was a little special, they did not suspect that he might be a ghost.

The investigation Truman mentioned was not mainly aimed at Mu Hua. They were tracking down the ghosts and gods who might be hiding in Caines. Mu Hua's abilities and the undead summoned beasts inevitably made people think that he had been supported by jealous ghosts and gods.

Unfortunately, Mu Hua's daily life is very normal. At least Marcus did not find any connection between him and ghosts during his investigation.

"Tsk~, is he registered in your adventurer branch? And you just processed his demon hunter qualification for him the day before yesterday?" Mu Hua's information was retrieved from the terminal. The very clean information made Truman grin.

"Dandelion Demon Hunting Team. Let me see..." Truman clicked on the team information from the data and checked the connection.

"Huh? Vivian, insufficient authority? Pending observer?" After checking the team member information and clicking on Vivian's profile, Truman's face flashed with surprise.

"The leader of the rich young lady, the logistics captain who can fight against the dragon, the pending observer, the battle angel, the wandering witch, the prophet, Bloody Mary, the immigrants from the fallen country, and a group of logistics personnel rescued from the slave traders?"

"Fuck, what the hell is this demon hunting group?" After flipping through it for a while, Truman jumped in surprise. There is no normal person here except the leader? How did this leader survive to this day?
"..." Marcus was silent, blinking his eyes, with an innocent expression. His authority was not as high as Truman's, and he didn't even know some of the information Truman mentioned.

After hearing the series of strange nicknames, Marcus said that he just wanted a promotion and a raise, and did not want to have anything to do with this kind of demon hunting group.

"Let's mark the area where the fraudster is located in Snow Ridge Ranch as an unknown area. Go talk to Mu Hua and remind him to pay attention." In the office, after a moment of silence, Truman said to Marcus with a calm expression.

A newly advanced demon hunting group, with a fancy personnel composition, but unknown combat power, can't let a newly advanced demon hunting group be stationed in an unknown area, right? A group of guys who are still working for Odysseus's strategy team, stop making trouble.

Truman didn't want to confront Mu Hua, so he could only accept some minor issues. Anyway, he was not the branch president of the Adventurer's Guild, so he could just leave it to Marcus to handle.

Marcus' cheek twitched. Well, his boss didn't want to show off his abilities in front of him and let him talk to Mu Hua? Well, if it was just a reminder, it didn't seem like a big deal.

"Sir, would you like to meet him? Even if he has nothing to do with ghosts and gods, he has the strength to fight against dragons at such a young age. Maybe he has the potential to be a rising star? The guild is very concerned about the growth of newcomers like this, right?"

"How about I call him over so you can talk to him?" Marcus suggested.

"Oh, rising star potential? Marcus, put away your cleverness. He is the Pale Lord. He is more likely to become a new disaster-level person."

"Penelope has arrived in Heyman City. I need to go back and keep an eye on her movements. I can't stay here for long."

"Since this kind of person appears within your area of ​​responsibility, you should take responsibility." Truman looked at Marcus coldly.

The Adventurer's Guild also attaches great importance to attracting and training adventurers. There are many benefits to training new stars, but it is better to stay away from a newcomer who easily explodes.

For such a person, the benefits given by the union are not enough to cover his ass.

Mu Hua was too young and there were too many uncertainties, so Truman kept his distance from Mu Hua.

Anyway, the area around Heyman is his territory, and Keynes is not developing that quickly. It won’t be too late to contact him after the union has an accurate positioning of Mu Hua.

"Penelope defected to the Empire and became a witch in the palace. She is of no need for us to pay attention to her." Truman was suspected of being a scapegoat. Marcus would rely on him for many things in the future, so he could only mutter to himself at this moment.

Quan pretended not to hear Marcus's complaints, and only saw Marcus calling Mu Hua, and in a friendly manner "warning" Mu Hua about certain demon hunting matters.

You can use less noisy magic. It's okay to kill them all, but don't act too relaxed. Do you need the guild to help you deal with the spoils?

Oh? Want to buy low-level magic stones? No problem. From now on, all the low-level magic stones received by our branch will be sent to your store. They will be processed by the energy company anyway, so it will be more convenient to send them to you.

Seeing that Marcus skipped over the question of Mu Hua's ostentation in the low-risk area after just a few words, Truman confirmed that this fat guy was really an irresponsible guy. (End of this chapter)
