Any high-grade profession could be understood as a superhuman.
Profession Level 10 and above basically had one or two supernatural abilities. For example, the Druil just now had some kind of spell on her body, which was why she could jump between trees. Søren was not curious enough to chase after her. It was normal to meet strangers in the wilderness. Some would talk for a short while, but most would just pass by. As long as the other party did not have any bad intentions, both parties would just nod at each other.
Druil did not like to communicate with ordinary people, not even professionals.
They were solitary and had their own goals. Most of them had strong beliefs and were neutral in their behavior. Sometimes, they would attack anyone.
In their eyes, balance was higher than good and evil, because they believed that good and evil in the world were relative.
They were like a group of people who advocated "inaction," but their aggressiveness was not weak at all. Many people who destroyed the nature of the forest would be mercilessly executed by them!
There was a period of time when human alchemy research was popular, mainly because of the discovery of the ruins of the Arcane Empire. Many wizards found high-end alchemy knowledge from it, and they even developed a construction factory. However, the pollution caused by magic energy alchemy destroyed the water source, polluted the earth, killed animals, and destroyed the forest. This eventually led to the anger of the Druil group in the world. Terrible storms and lightning shrouded the whole new alchemy city, and in the end, everything was turned into ashes!
There were not many records left of that battle.
It was only known that the Druil defeated the army of steel golems. More than ten legendary Druil fought at the same time, including the powerful storm lord.
The wizards were badly hurt in this battle. One legendary wizard died, and two legendary wizards were forced to turn into liches.
Research on magic energy alchemy became a taboo.
In order to appease the angry Druil, the human world's church began to increase the restrictions on magic energy alchemy. This was because the place where the alchemy city was built, the river was still full of black pollution. The nearby land was not suitable for human survival, and drinking the water would cause metal poisoning. The Druil stubbornly believed that this evil alchemy research would eventually destroy nature, causing irreparable damage to the environment, and eventually bring disaster to the whole world!
So.
Even for the dwarves and gnomes, some alchemy research was still carried out in secret.
Most of the wizards were not on good terms with the Druil, because many of their academic studies were rejected by the Druil. Even now, there were still Druil hiding in the dark to monitor the wizards' actions, preventing them from carrying out some terrible experiments that could cause large-scale natural disasters. Sometimes, they would also take care of the plagues and diseases spread by the fallen.
…
Søren walked back along the road.
Soon, he saw the village that he had seen at the beginning. Torches were lit on all sides of the village, and he could vaguely see the defense of the arrow towers.
"Who is it?" A sturdy man shouted.
Søren's figure emerged from the Night. He raised his hands to show that he wasn't holding any weapons and said, "Human. A traveling adventurer. "
"I just encountered a group of kobolds and am a little injured. I hope I can rest here for the night."
After seeing Søren's appearance, the man on the watchtower relaxed a little. He shouted down, and soon a man wearing leather armor appeared. He seemed to be the captain of the militia here. It was a man with a full beard, estimated to be in his thirties or forties. He frowned and looked at Søren, then asked, "Are you alone?"
"It's not suitable for a person to move around in the wilderness."
This was a former adventurer, and he obviously had a lot of experience. Although he knew Søren's profession, he was still very vigilant.
"Yes, I'm alone." Søren put down his hands and replied, "I want to train my abilities and find the possibility of further improvement."
"So I'm alone in the wilderness."
The captain hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the others to open the gate. He then said, "You can rest here for the night, but I hope you won't cause us any trouble."
"There won't be any trouble," Søren smiled and said in a deep voice, "I'll leave tomorrow to hunt the nearby monsters."
"If it's possible, I hope you can tell me the distribution of the nearby monsters."
The creatures in the wilderness naturally wouldn't just stay in one place. Only the natives in the area knew where they lived, so it was important to explore the wilderness and gather information. Sometimes, it could save a lot of trouble. The heavy gate of the stronghold slowly opened. Five or six adult men stood nearby with weapons in their hands. Their eyes were still very vigilant as they looked at Soran. They were slightly relieved when they saw that Soran did not make any movements after coming in.
The captain climbed down from the watchtower and looked at Søren from head to toe. His eyes fell on his bandaged wounds, then he said, "It's rare to see a lone adventurer like you. I didn't expect a rogue to be like a monk."
Søren smiled and didn't answer the question.
The captain waved his hand to his companions, then pointed to the side and said, "Stranger. We can't trust you completely. So no one will take you in for the night. There's a firewood shed over there. If you don't mind, you can stay there for the night. I'll have someone send you some hot soup and food. "
Søren nodded and bowed slightly. "Thank you very much. I just need a place where I can sleep without worry. After all, it's easy to be ambushed in the wilderness. "
The captain nodded and asked a young man to lead him there.
After Søren left, an adult man next to him said, "Captain? Is he okay? He's a stranger after all. "
"He should be fine." The captain looked behind him and said in a low voice, "I'll go and test him later to see if he really killed a group of kobolds. It's getting more and more dangerous here. If someone can kill some of the monsters, we'll be under less pressure. "
The wilderness was dangerous.
They built a village here to avoid a lot of taxes, but they also had to face a lot of trouble.
Soon.
The captain of the militia came over with two men.
Søren rested on the soft grass and bandaged the wound on his leg. It was almost healed. There shouldn't be any problems tomorrow, and it wouldn't affect his upcoming battle. The armed forces of this village weren't weak. Søren saw a few second-grade warriors, and there should be experienced adventurers among them. They brought him some hot soup, some dry bread, and some pickled vegetables.
The one who brought them over was a chubby girl with freckles on her face. She looked at Søren curiously and blushed slightly when she saw his handsome face. She seemed like a simple village girl. She seemed to want to stay and listen to what they had to say, but the captain glared at her and she obediently went back to sleep. Before she left, she looked back at Søren. Young people like her were always curious about adventurers.
Søren thanked her softly and took a sip of the soup. There were mushrooms and vegetables in it, and the bread needed to be soaked in it.
It was natural to feel uncomfortable eating too much dry food.
As he ate, he answered the other party's questions and probing questions. This wasn't surprising. After all, he was a stranger.
"You said you killed a large group of kobolds?"
The young man next to him looked doubtful, as if he didn't believe Søren had such strength.
He wasn't interested in explaining, so he pulled out his curved sword and cut a piece of wood into four pieces. This time, the young man finally shut his mouth and looked at him with a trace of respect. Søren had used up a lot of energy. He finished the soup and bread and chewed some jerky before he stood up and said, "I want to know about the distribution of monsters nearby. Can you provide me with some information?"
The captain had already put down his doubts and nodded. "No problem."
"There are many monsters around here, and we've been hoping that someone can deal with them. You can come here to rest at any time. I'll have someone prepare food and a place for you to sleep. "
"Ugh."
"It's late now. If you don't mind, you can sleep in my house for the night. I'll get someone to prepare a room for you in two days. "
Søren smiled and shook his head. He patted the pile of grass and said, "No need. This place is good. I'm used to it. "
"Now tell me where the monsters are."
