Carefree Path of Dreams
chapter-701

Noether Kingdom, Corso City.

An adventurer team slowly walked through the city gates and simultaneously released a deep sigh. "Finally safe!"

In this world, there was also an Adventurer Society. The adventurers were all at least seasoned and experienced soldiers, and even Extraordinaries were commonly seen.

And this small team of adventurers was entirely comprised of professionals.

It consisted of two warriors, one assassin, one sorcerer, and one archer.

With the combined forces of these five professionals, it would be better for any small army that they encountered to completely retreat. They were also able to hunt demon beasts and could be considered a strong power.

"Yeah, I didn't imagine that just one simple task could actually become so dangerous!" The sorcerer in the team removed his hood and revealed a pale face. "We even met an army of Evil Demons!"

Their current task was to investigate the geomorphology and reproduction of the demon beasts outside the city.

There were naturally demon beasts in the Monger World..

Even the most common demon beast was on par with a professional's power. There were even legendary species like the Ancient Dragon that would have a Legend's brutal power once mature.

Regardless of whether it was a human or a demon beast, the descent of the Gods and the undulations of the world had treated all equally with its catastrophes.

Some wild beasts and demon beasts could not withstand it and thus became extinct. Some instead survived tenaciously, but had to migrate due to the ecological changes in their environment.

This was undeniably a huge catastrophe for the human world.

"My God… ever since those damned Evil Demons appeared, this world has changed…"

The former soldier team leader also lamented, "Previously, even the lowest ranked professional could scrape by decently. Now even we have no choice but to painstakingly work."

"After completing this task, we'll obtain a hundred Noether gold coins!"

"Leader, after splitting the money, we must rest well!"

The archer and assassin looked at each other and spoke with a clear voice. They were actually both women.

"Definitely!"

The team leader nodded his head, and a thread of cold light flashed in his pupils. Just nice… I can also use this opportunity to kill more Evil Demons and see if my divinity can be enhanced!

The appearance of the Evil Demons was naturally a heaven collapsing earth shattering catastrophe for ordinary people, but for professionals, this was not necessarily the case.

Ordinary people feared the demonic illness like snakes and scorpions, but it did not even cause any observable symptoms on a professional's body. Instead, they could even obtain benefits from the power of the Evil Demons.

Furthermore, after accumulating to a certain extent, it could then produce divinity!

The team leader of this adventurer team was actually a Deity!

With this power, he saw endless possibilities.

If he was an ordinary professional warrior, he would already have no hopes of advancing, and it would be impossible for him to come into contact with the threshold of a high-level professional in his entire life.

However, the appearance of divinity had given him hope. As long as he was able to continuously kill Evil Demons, or even similar people, he could improve at an unbelievable rate.

No! I can't! How can I attack my own species? This is defies the doctrines of the Gods… However, can I really still be considered human? Those churches killing Deities in the dark are no longer a secret…

The team leader's heart endlessly struggled, wanting to maintain his morality.

Instantly, another thought came to him. I heard that some incidents occurred in the main battlefield under Steven. A Son of Salvation appeared who could remove the demonic illness from the bodies of ordinary people. I'm not sure if this is true… but if it's true, would he able to cleanse my divinity?

With this thought, his gaze suddenly became darker.

He would naturally not be willing to completely cleanse and remove his divinity.

After all, if the demonic illness brought the bittersweetness of power and suffering to ordinary people, then to a professional, divinity had more benefits.

At this moment, the appearance of such a 'Son of Salvation' was immediately seen as something very unpleasant for him, even subtly viewing him as an enemy.

This world changes so fast… Should I be more proactive…

Just as this team leader was still thinking this, his gaze suddenly turned toward a group of people at the city entrance.

They seemed to be a similar adventurer team, but their members and equipment were all better.

Especially the adventurer dressed up as a thief, causing him to fixate his gaze.

Divinity!

Just as the team leader made this judgment in his mind, the other party similarly looked over and stared hard at him with a pair of triangular eyes.

Although divinity could be disguised, it was difficult for two Sons of Purgatory to conceal it from each other. This was also Fang Yuan's intentional design.

Being stared at by the other, the team leader instantly shivered all over, as if he was a frog targeted by a viper. He could not move his body slightly, and sweat started flowing down his forehead.

This isn't good. The divinity accumulated by this thief is definitely far greater than mine!

A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly became extremely mournful and afraid.

Compared to slaughtering Evil Demons, the mutual plundering between the Sons of Purgatory was much more efficient.

What should I do? I've been exposed, and he'll definitely come and kill me. I-I don't want to die…

This team leader was struck down by fear, and his entire body nearly collapsed weakly onto the ground.

"Leader! Leader!" After a while, the archer beside him shook his arm and he woke up. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing. I'm just too tired!"

He forced a smile and focused on the surrounding before realizing that that adventurer team had already left.

"Haha… our team leader is as strong as a cow. How can he suddenly fall ill?" The other warrior coarsely laughed. "Let's go and turn in the task before heading over to Old Man Bayi's bar for a drink!"

"Turn in the mission, yeah!" The team leader wiped away his cold sweat and knew that the aim of that adventurer team was mostly likely the Society, but he did not dare go. "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. Kunst, you will turn in this mission!"

After saying this, he instantly tugged his collar, clumsily ran into the crowd, and disappeared, leaving his team members confused.

…

Just as those team members were utterly confused, at the same time, the high-level thief who had frightened their team leader had already entered the Adventurer Society with his companions and been respectfully invited into a secret room.

After confirming the safety of the environment, a lady with fiery red hair dressed as a sorcerer asked, "Wayne, what did you discover just now?"

"Heh… just a small mouse!" Thief Wayne laughed. "The divinity in him is far too little. Unless he's brought in front of me, I'm too lazy to even attack him!"

"Please mind your words!"

A holy and pure look suddenly appeared on the sorcerer's face. "You are already not that 'Life Usurper' Villette, but Wayne, a team member of the Harvest Lady's church, the Apologetic Knight Group!"

"Yes, yes!" Wayne shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but had a mocking smile on his mouth. "However, you weren't all that benevolent to the Deities before…"

"Enough!" Another person finally could not stand it.

He was wearing a hood that covered his face. However, the moment he spoke, it had a huge deterrence, causing Wayne and the female sorcerer to quiet down.

"This time, under the arrangements of the Church, we've come here in order to cooperate with another and kill that Legend Son of Purgatory. Do not cause internal conflicts before that knight has even arrived, and do not make fools of yourselves!"

"Yes, Sir Surran!"

The female sorcerer slightly bowed, revealing the identity of this mysterious person. It was actually the strong Legend that had previously appeared—Spear of Zero Surran!

This strong Legend was often wandering the continent and without a definite place of residence. Previously, due to owing a favor to the Stan Family, he had no choice but to act once on their behalf.

However, nobody knew the truth that he had already long become a worshipper of the Harvest Lady!

Even that time, it might have perhaps been the church's secret instigation to assist the Stan Family.

"That Knight Luhn, what kind of person is he?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in the female sorcerer's eyes.

"Hehe… you still need to ask that? He's definitely like me, an executioner that kills people without blinking. Otherwise, how could he be promoted to a Legend. Tsk tsk…"

Wayne's gaze was full of admiration, then he glanced at the female sorcerer. "Anyway, he is definitely not the cup of tea for a Harvest bishop, right, Efia?"

"You…" The female sorcerer immediately became infuriated.

Naturally, this small team was thrown together and formed painstakingly by the Harvest Lady. The weakest person was still a high-level professional.

This was all to complete the mission of killing that Legend Son of Purgatory.

They had only recently received notification that they had to cooperate with another Legend.

Furthermore, this Legend was also a Son of Purgatory!

Shock, curiosity… Various emotions naturally surged in their hearts.

"Knight Luhn?" Surran's eyes became a little blurry. "He is… a very strong Legend. Furthermore, he knows how to hide it well. Before he completely erupted, nobody had guessed that he had already ascended to become a Legend!"

Of course, he had yet to mention the biggest secret, which only echoed in his heart. The most important thing is that with my zero-sum deduction, I actually had a chilling feeling, as if I would definitely die if I fought against him. It now seems that this was a Legend Son of Purgatory's power and influence?

Dum! Dum!

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"He's arrived!"

Efia and Wayne glanced at each other, and the female sorcerer walked forward to open the door.

"Excuse me!"

Fang Yuan strode into the room with a move and swept his gaze around before taking off his cloak.

"Knight Luhn, I can't believe that we met again so soon," Surran greeted with a smile.
