Don't call me evil god

There is an extremely spacious and magnificent hall covering thousands of square meters inside the Path of Quest.

With a height of more than 9 meters and a large number of supporting columns, carved beams and painted buildings, the entire building is full of solemnity and sacredness.

Sam subconsciously slowed down his steps when he walked in.

Although there are no spectacular sculptures or precious treasures inside the building, the imposing structure alone can give people a strong shock.

Deep in the hall, there is a "door" that looks like it leads to the Misty Valley, and two uniformed clerks are stationed at the door.

When Sam tried to go over to see the situation, he was politely stopped by the other party.

"Sorry, for your safety, only the Lord's believers can enter the back area."

"To participate in the study of the doctrine of seeking knowledge, please go to the second floor."

"The assessment will be held at midnight on Fire Day. If you want to participate, please arrive in the basement in advance."

Sam scratched his head: "Okay, I understand."

The churches of other gods are the same in this regard. Only limited areas in the church are open to outsiders.

The Church of Knowledge does not have a church in the strict sense, but the Path to Knowledge gives Sam the feeling that it is a church that spreads and promotes doctrines.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the other party said "for his safety" when trying to dissuade him.

"Is there any danger inside?"

Unable to immediately find out whether it was the truth of "resurrection", Sam hesitated.

After all, he saw Brandon coming out of here with his own eyes. Whether it was divine magic or blessing, it must be related to the God of Knowledge.

Since it is related to this mysterious god, there should be clues in the doctrine, right?

The same sentence.

He learned the other party's doctrine, but it does not mean that he has to offer his faith!

Didn't they say when they introduced it? Just learning the doctrine is not enough, and they have to accept the assessment.

He will try to learn it first.

Just understand a little bit, and never get involved!

...

At the same time.

Ceylon City.

Several weapon and armor merchants who formed the "Business Alliance" gathered together again after a few days.

The worry on everyone's face did not get lighter, but became even more intense.

"What's the situation?"

"It's worse."

"We haven't seen any guys selling super low-priced equipment at the border defense camp, but... I don't know why, our goods still can't be sold!"

"And I heard that the number of adventurers in the defense camp seems to have decreased significantly!"

"In previous years, there were at least hundreds of adventurers coming at this time?"

"How many this year?"

"Very few, it seems that there are only a few dozen scattered here and there."

"Damn it, they all went directly into the Dark Forest?"

"Someone who went in should also come out, what's the matter with only going in but not coming out, they didn't die in there?"

"Any news from the killer?"

Hearing someone mention the killer, the bearded merchant in the lead frowned even more.

"No, there is no news at all, it seems that they have evaporated from the face of the earth."

The three stalker killers that the bearded merchant contacted through the middleman had cooperated twice in the past.

Although the other party asked for a high price, their "professional quality" was indeed quite strong.

A level 3 rogue, if lucky enough and able to seize the opportunity, may even be able to assassinate a level 4 archmage alone.

Normally, the news of a successful assassination will be reported back in 1 or 2 days at the fastest, or 3 or 5 days at the slowest.

The bearded merchant used this trick to kill two guys who tried to interfere with the weapons and armor business in Ceylon, ensuring their market monopoly.

As a result, this trick that has been tried and tested did not work this time.

He felt a little scared.

No news is also a kind of news in a sense.

They failed, so there was no response.

He was able to escape the assassination of a level 3 rogue, and it is very likely that he succeeded in counter-killing!

This is what annoyed the bearded man the most.

He found out from the news merchant that the goblin named Hugo Xiwei was obviously an ordinary person, and it seemed that he had an unclear relationship with the refugee slum outside the city.

How could such a guy counter-attack and kill a powerful level 3 rogue? !

After thinking about it, the bearded man could only think of one possibility.

There is someone behind the other party.

Hugo Xiwei is probably just a spokesperson who is pushed out in public. There is someone else who is really in charge of this ultra-low-price dumping of equipment.

Thinking of this, the bearded man began to calculate.

He who knows the times is a hero. There is no doubt that he knows the times.

"Don't panic! Listen to me! Listen to me!"

In doing business, assassination or price war are all means!

Everyone's ultimate goal is not to make money!

The bearded man analyzed with a serious face: "No matter who the other party is, Hugo Xiwei should be just a spokesperson."

"It's normal for a spokesperson to die in a business war, not to mention that he is not dead!"

"In this case, I think we have room for negotiation with the other party, right?"

"Didn't we establish this business alliance in order to join forces and make money around Ceylon Territory together?"

"The other party has proved his strength. He has sufficient supply and good strength. I recognize him."

"We also have good strength. We previously monopolized the market in Ceylon Territory, right?"

"We can extend an olive branch to the other party!"

"Price wars and assassinations will only hurt both sides in the end."

"Join hands to monopolize the market and drive up prices. Everyone will make money and be happy."

The bearded man's string of words can be summarized in two words:

Cowardly!

He can't afford the price war, and the assassination failed.

Then he can only find a way to beg the other party to join the business alliance and make everyone "one of us".

"But will the other party be willing to join us?" Someone hesitated and questioned.

The bearded man affirmed: "That guy is obviously a newcomer. Even if he wants to sell, he can't find a suitable channel. Unlike us, our stores are all over the surrounding areas of Ceylon."

"If he wants to make money, he must need our channels!"

"I think if he really intends to do business well, he might contact us soon."

As soon as the voice fell, as if to confirm the bearded man's statement, there was a knock on the door outside the room where the equipment merchants were gathering.

"My lords, a letter for you!"

The merchant near the door stood up and opened the door.

There was no one outside the door, and a letter was left on the ground.

"Look! Look! What did I say!"

The bearded man took the envelope and opened it with a smug look on his face.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that guy must be ready to take the initiative to discuss cooperation with us. Look, isn't it written here, about the acquisition plan of weapons and equipment sales business?!"

"Walter?! What the hell?!"

...

There will be another update later, working hard!
