Chapter 424: Unexpected Discovery: There Are Powerful Gods in the North

"The Barony of Borrow is located on the west side of the Harvest Valley."

"Close to the Silver Wolf Mountains."

"Because silver wolves often appear in the mountains, it is named the Silver Wolf Mountains."

"Here is a rich source of food, and the tributaries from the Silver Wolf Mountains bring clear spring water."

"Fine wine brewed with spring water has always been a specialty of the Barony of Borrow."

"But the Barony of Borrow is too close to the Silver Wolf Mountains."

"So there are often monsters in the mountains, and during some times when the mountains are closed due to heavy snow."

"There are also groups of silver wolves coming down the mountains."

"And the scarves made of silver wolf skins are famous in the capital of Gondor. A silver wolf scarf can be sold for a high price of thousands of gold in the capital, so A large number of mercenaries came to Baron Boro's territory. "

"They enter the Silver Wolf Mountains all year round, just to hunt silver wolves and obtain the wolf skins of silver wolves."

"Because next to the Silver Wolf Mountains, a famous mercenary town has been formed."

"And the Silver Wolf Tavern is in this town."

"Although the name of the Silver Wolf Tavern is very close to the territory of the Silver Wolf Mountains, it is not a high-end tavern. It is a civilian tavern. Only those mercenaries who can't make money will go there."

"So it's not particularly famous."

"But it is said that the honey barbecue in the Silver Wolf Tavern is particularly famous."

"It is a unique feature of the mercenary town."

In the castle hall, Christian quickly told the information he had obtained.

Fang Yuan said after pacing in the hall for a while.

"In the clue of the Crown quest, the Broken Sword must be delivered to the Silver Wolf Tavern."

"No one can deliver this quest item except me."

"It seems that we have to set off for Baron Boro's territory."

"Christian, notify the army to prepare to set off."

"The sooner the better. After delivering the Broken Sword, we can concentrate on completing the mission of the Giant Elephant Blade."

"Yes, sir."

After agreeing, Christian thought about it and asked again.

"Then should we give up the occupied Viscount Castle?"

Fang Yuan shook his head.

"No."

"It's still unknown when the orcs will come."

"This kind of castle that has not been destroyed is an important stronghold."

"Leave some people here to garrison, and we can control the main traffic routes in this area."

"Besides, Aria is still out scouting, don't let her return for the time being."

"Leave half of the guardian knights and some gray dwarf legions here to wait for Aria."

"But the natives here can't be left."

"This time we go to Baron Borough, take them all away."

"It's just right, with them in hand, we can communicate with the local nobles in a more friendly way."

As Fang Yuan's order was issued.

Christian reorganized the legion, and the army marched towards the direction of Baron Borough.

And the Viscount Territory that had just been occupied.

Left some gray dwarves, guardian knights, and dragon eagle knights to garrison.

As a contact point for those who went out to scout Aria.

During Fang Yuan's army marching westward.

They began to encounter sporadic attacks by orc squads.

All of these orcs were covered with various trophies.

They had obviously just returned from the looting in the south.

Unfortunately, they met Fang Yuan.

All these looted items were collected by Fang Yuan.

Most of these trophies were gold and silver objects, which were not special.

They could be sold for some money if they were taken to Blue Star.

Fang Yuan had many people with him, so it was more than enough to carry these trophies.

At this time, a centurion team of orcs had just been annihilated in front.

They were cleaning the battlefield and clearing the trophies.

While waiting.

Christian rode a unicorn to his side.

"Lord."

"Look, after defeating the orcs this time, we have this in our trophies."

Christian handed over a torn page.

"It's black and has no specific use."

"There's no text on it."

"There were things like this several times before."

"I just interrogated the orcs, and they said they got it from the library of Harvest City in Gondor."

Fang Yuan took the torn page and stroked the paper carefully.

"It's a bit like kraft paper, but not as rough."

"I used the Lord's Mark to scan it before, but didn't get any information."

"It's really strange."

"It can't be some useless stuff."

Just when he was wondering about this thing.

Suddenly.

A voice came from a distance.

"Sir, I know."

"I know this."

"Please let me see Sir."

Looking in the direction of the voice, Fang Yuan found that it was the tax collector in the Viscount's territory before.

This fat guy is Viscount Ned's younger brother.

After I defeated the orcs.

He asked to see me several times, but was rejected.

This fat guy wanted to see me, he must be here to pledge his loyalty.

Because I scanned it with the Lord's Mark.

This tax collector is just a blue-quality hero.

Although he can be recruited, it is not necessary.

Even if he wants to recruit, Fang Yuan still has better choices.

The captain of the guard in the Viscount's castle is a red-quality hero.

And the little Viscount, his quality has reached purple.

He has good potential.

But Fang Yuan did not recruit him.

No, he doesn't need it.

But this tax collector actually knows the origin of this fragment that can't even scan the Lord's Mark.

This surprised Fang Yuan a little.

He said immediately.

"Bring him here."

"Yes, sir."

Soon.

The tax collector was brought in front of Fang Yuan.

When he saw him, the tax collector's round body crawled on the ground.

He said to Fang Yuan in an extremely flattering manner.

"Hello, sir."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, I want to hear what I want to know."

"Go ahead, what are these?"

The tax officer replied hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, sir."

"This is the sacrificial text for the ancient god of harvest in the harvest city."

"It is the praise offered to the gods by the believers of the ancient god of harvest."

"Mortals cannot see the divine text."

"So the sacrificial text we see is pitch black."

"Only the believers of the ancient god of harvest can see the text."

Hearing this.

Fang Yuan frowned.

"Christian, the ancient god of harvest?"

"What god?"

Christian replied decisively.

"Sub-god."

"But her power is special, so she has never died completely."

"As long as there is a place to grow food, there will be sacrifices."

"But the end of the sub-god era represents the end of the ancient god's rules."

"So even if sacrifices continue, the ancient god of harvest cannot be resurrected."

"In the end, she can only take the path of the evil god."

"After the glory history, the ancient god of harvest is one of the most famous evil gods."

"The sacrifice to her is extremely cruel."

"And after the sacrifice, only a short-term harvest is obtained."

"And the evil god is extremely greedy. If there are no more sacrifices in the future, divine punishment will be imposed."

"Basically, sacrifices to the ancient god of harvest will eventually cost the genocide."

Hearing such a tragic consequence.

Fang Yuan was also shocked.

"This thing!"

"It's better to throw it away quickly."

Fang Yuan threw the sacrificial text out.

And Christian's words were also heard by the tax officer.

He saw Fang Yuan's disgusted look.

Fear that he would also be implicated.

He shouted hurriedly.

"Sir."

"I said the Ancient God of Harvest is not a good thing."

"Even the Harvest Church in Harvest City is the same."

"Every year they organize a large number of believers to go to the Black Mist Stone Forest to recite these sacrificial texts."

"It is said that they can obtain the blessing of the Ancient God of Harvest."

"But every time the believers return, their temperaments have changed drastically."

"They are completely different people."

"I thought it was strange at the time, and thought they were baptized by the gods."

"Now I hear what Sir's people say, this is simply the soul being devoured by the evil god."

"Those believers who went to the Black Mist Stone Forest have all become puppets of the evil god."

The tax officer said this with indignation.

But Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised when she heard it.

"Black Mist Stone Forest!"

"It turns out that this place is related to the Ancient God of Harvest!"

The Black Mist Stone Forest is also a territory on the edge of the northern border.

Fang Yuan also has a token related to the Black Mist Stone Forest in his hand.

It's just that this stone forest is rather strange.

I have never been able to decipher the information related to the mission in the token.

So I have never done this mission.

Unexpectedly, I actually got information related to this mission in the secret realm.

This has to be said to be a pleasant surprise.

Fang Yuan murmured.

"Ancient God of Harvest."

"Christian."

"After she became an evil god, is her divine power strong or weak?"

Christian answered decisively.

"Strong divine power."

"Because of the special divine duties, the Ancient God of Harvest is still powerful even if she becomes an evil god."

"Even the Lord of Holy Light on the ring throne is very afraid of her."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"I understand."

Then he waved his hand, signaling the tax collector to hand over the black sacrificial texts on the ground.

Then he put them into the bag.

"The token of the Black Mist Stone Forest is only orange-level, and it is related to a powerful evil god."

"This means that this task is also a serial task."

"If you do it in the future, it may be related to the godhood of powerful gods."

"If you have the strength to hunt gods in the future, you should not miss the powerful godhood at your doorstep."

After putting away the sacrificial text.

Fang Yuan turned to the flattering tax collector and said.

"From now on, the civilians I rescued on the road will be under your jurisdiction."

"Select the strong ones among them and form a vassal corps."

"Let little Ned and his guard captain assist you."

"Next, I will go to the Baron of Boro. After I arrive, you will communicate in the name of Viscount Ned's territory."

After receiving Fang Yuan's instructions, the tax collector was overjoyed.

Because he was useful in leading the troops.

And useful people are often not so easy to die.

He shouted immediately.

"I will follow the orders of Sir Sir."

"I will swear to follow Sir Sir until death and never betray him."

As soon as the voice fell.

A message popped up on Fang Yuan's lord seal.

"Ding, do you want to recruit the blue hero Pear * Ned."

"Reject."

Then he kicked the horse's belly and continued to lead the army forward under the escort of Christian.

Pear * Ned was left with a look of disappointment.

And after that.

The army basically did not encounter the orcs' looting troops.

I think the orcs have not been to the west yet.

However, when Fang Yuan led the army into the territory of Baron Boro.

The reconnaissance corps in front came to report.

"Sir."

"We found a wolf rider being besieged!"
