Half an hour later, they arrived at the third zone on the lower left side of the ruins. They were standing on top of a building covered in moss.
Ahead of them was a row of stone houses built with vampiric vines as the outer walls.
Next to the largest stone house, there was a bonfire, smoke, and a towering flag. On the flag, there was a picture of sunlight piercing through the fog.
"The Dawn Adventurers … Vines House. This is it, right?" Dorcas clicked his tongue. "What an artistic name. But such a rough place. It's worse than the underground supply point of the Hero Team."
"Not all adventurers are as lucky as the Hero Squad. They're lucky enough to have a place in Garden of Labyrinth." Angor gave a positive comment.
Although the Garden of Labyrinth had been plundered clean by the adepts, it was still Transcendent City. There were still some mechanisms that had not been destroyed, as well as magical creatures hiding in the dark.
The Hero Team was lucky to have found a place to stay. Other adventurer teams, especially small adventurer teams that weren't particularly strong, would need courage and wisdom to survive in this place.
Angor did not know if the Dawn Adventurers had the courage to do so. Still, they could tell that the Dawn Adventurers were smart enough to do so. For example, they used some anti-corrosive methods to decorate the houses with dead vines. The vines' aura could effectively prevent monsters from entering the houses, which gave the Dawn Adventurers a safe place to live.
Dorcas scoffed at the idea, but Angor still believed it was a clever way to survive.
"You make it sound like these adventurer teams are kings. Actually, these adventurer teams are just a bunch of blood-sucking worms raised by traveling merchants."
"At least we're taking what we need." Angor did not argue with Dorcas on this topic. It was not rare for supernaturals to exploit mortals, especially in a country ruled by Goman King. Traveling merchants could provide resources and gold coins in exchange for the adventurers' profits. At least they followed the rules of trade, even if it was not a fair trade.
Angor looked at Ma Qiusha, who was still in a daze.
"Are you sure the traveler you saw just now is here?"
At this moment, Ma Qiusha was still surrounded by the light wind created by the Speed Spirit. That feeling of lightness, as well as the experience of walking on air, made her feel an unprecedented shock. When they landed, Ma Qiusha was still in a daze.
Ma Qiusha finally came back to her senses. "Ah, ah … Yes, you're right. This is the Dawn adventurer team's camp. "
After confirming that they were at the right location, everyone jumped down from the ruins and walked towards the vine-covered stone house.
As he walked, his mind power also swept the area. Almost everyone in the campsite was scanned by their spiritual power.
At the same time, illusions kept appearing in front of Ma Qiusha's eyes. These illusions were all people in the camp. Other than leading the way, there was another important reason for them to bring Ma Qiusha along, which was to distinguish between people.
"I've never seen her before. She's probably a logistician … This woman seems to be the wife of an archer …"
"These three are the core members of the Dawn adventurer team. They are very strong."
"…"
"The one in the yellow and white armor of the Church of Dawn is their leader. He calls himself the Dawn. He's very strong. He has a heavy sword that can even fight against Raven's cane. "
"Church of Dawn? What's that?"
"It's an ancient cult in the south of Goman Kingdom. They believe that the first ray of light from the sun brings life to all things, and this ray of light is the manifestation of the Goddess of Dawn," Ma Qiusha explained.
"That doesn't sound like an evil cult." Angor mumbled.
"Indeed, it's not an evil sect." The one who spoke was the Black Earl.
"You know about this cult, sir?"
The Black Earl said, "One of my sons went to this sect when he was traveling around the Goman Kingdom, so I took the opportunity to learn about it. The cult's teachings are good. But Goman King's plan is about to be completed. He has already bared his fangs and started to suppress all religions. Of course, the Church of Dawn is one of the victims. There should be very few of them left now. "
"Goman King's plan is about to be completed? Bared his fangs? "Dorcas looked at Dark Earl in confusion." What do you mean, sir? "
"It's none of your business. You can't get involved," Dark Earl said in a flat tone.
Although Dorcas said that he wouldn't go to Goman Kingdom, he still had some ideas about the kingdom. Since Dark Earl didn't want to answer, he looked at Angor and hoped that Angor would join him to ask about this secret.
After all, Dorcas and Angor went through what happened in Princess' Town together. Dorcas believed that Angor would be interested as well.
But when Dorcas looked at Angor, Angor didn't seem to notice the hidden meaning in Dark Earl's words. He kept asking questions about the Church of Dawn.
Dorcas couldn't believe that Angor didn't hear that.
But Angor didn't care at all. There had to be something else going on. Maybe Angor already knew everything about Goman King's plan?
But how did Angor know about it when they were together all the time? A wizard organization's trick?
While Dorcas lamented about wandering wizards' lack of information, Angor had already learned about the Church of Dawn from Dark Earl and Ma Qiusha.
He sighed in relief when he confirmed that the church wasn't an evil one.
It wasn't that he was overreacting. Because of the Germinal Organization, Angor was more sensitive to all kinds of religions. Especially since Rein and the others were fighting against the Germinal Organization's believers on Parmigi Highlands, Angor became even more sensitive about religion.
He felt a little nervous when he heard about the church.
"Time to get back to the main topic." Angor cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention.
"So you know it's just gossip?" Dorcas mumbled.
Angor ignored Dorcas and looked at Ma Qiusha again. "I've checked everyone in the camp. Are there any traveling merchants?"
Ma Qiusha shook her head. "No. But I'm sure I saw some traveling merchants. Maybe the Dawn adventurer team has already completed their trade with the Traveling Merchant? "
"That should be the case. The last few items in the stone houses are all brand new. I think they just got them from the traveling merchants," Kael said. He was always good at observing details.
"Where do the traveling merchants go after the Dawn Adventurers? Do you know? "Angor asked Ma Qiusha again.
Ma Qiusha shook her head. "The traveling merchants send different people to do their business. Their routes are always random. Everyone has their own preferences."
"Are you familiar with the distribution of adventurers in this area?"
Ma Qiusha nodded without hesitation. "I've snuck into several adventurers' groups. I think no one knows the third area better than me."
"Since you're so confident, it shouldn't be a problem to find the traveling merchants."
A group of people approached them from the distance. The leader of the group was the captain of the Glimmer of Dawn, who was wearing a suit of yellow and white armor.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? "It sounded like a question, but it also sounded like a threat. One wrong word and they would attack.
Angor didn't answer. He simply snapped his fingers.
Speed Spirit spun in the air, and a breeze blew towards the opposite side. Along with the breeze came a large number of illusion nodes.
More than 30 people were instantly surrounded by the illusion nodes.
Before they could react, the light in their eyes slowly faded away as if they had been turned into puppets.
While Ma Qiusha covered her mouth in shock, Angor walked to the leader of the Dawn Adventurers and began his interrogation.
With the help of his illusions and Mind Ripple, he soon found the answer he was looking for.
"An hour ago, the traveling merchants left this place. They took the southwest path."
Angor then looked at Ma Qiusha.
Ma Qiusha hesitated for a moment before she realized what Angor meant. "There's almost no complete path there. Usually, female travelers don't go there first, but male travelers do. On the other hand, male travelers prefer to go there first because there's only one adventurer group in this direction. It's the Inferno adventurer group. "
"Inferno? Their leader? The one who dressed like Flamingo? "Dorcas wondered.
Earlier, Dorcas and Angor searched the entire area to find traces of the Hero Team. During their search, they saw the leader of Inferno, a woman who called herself Miss Red.
"If you're talking about Miss Red, sir, she did dress up a little too ostentatiously. But she's not a bad person." Ma Qiusha considered for a moment.
"But who's to judge?" Dorcas said, "Both you and Flamingo are bad people in Mia's eyes. Don't judge by your own standards. "
Angor still interrupted, "You're addicted to arguing, aren't you? Enough with the nonsense. Since Ma Qiusha knows about Miss Red, let's go."
With that, Angor prepared to leave.
"What about them, sir?" Ma Qiusha asked.
Ma Qiusha asked as she pointed at the members of the Dawn adventurer team, who were still in their puppet states.
"They'll wake up on their own in no time. When they wake up, they won't remember what happened. "
Dorcas added, "If your Hero Team has a grudge against the Dawn Adventurers, you should avenge them as soon as possible. Slash them each, and kill them all. Let's see if you can wipe them all out."
Ma Qiusha quickly waved her hands. "No, there's no grudge between adventurer groups. It's just that my lover doesn't like Dawn Adventurers. "
"Is Crow jealous that Dawn Adventurers look better than him?" Dorcas asked with a playful look.
Ma Qiusha chuckled awkwardly. "No. I once joined Dawn Adventurers, and their leader was nice to me. So, Crow doesn't like him."
"But I promise, he's not a bad person."
Dorcas rolled his eyes. "Not again. Like I said, don't talk about good people and bad people. Fine, if you don't want to kill them, let's go. "
After leaving Dawn Adventurers' camp, they flew toward Inferno Adventurers.
Ma Qiusha mentioned that the road here was very shabby and difficult to walk on. However, thanks to Speedy's Wind Enchantment, even Ma Qiusha could cover dozens of meters with a single leap. Even the most shabby road would become a flat road with such speed.
On their way, Dorcas couldn't stop gossiping.
First, he asked Ma Qiusha if a male traveler would rather take a detour than go to Inferno Adventurers first. Did that place provide special services?
Ma Qiusha smiled awkwardly. "I don't know. But Miss Red is a good —"
"Shut up. Don't say 'good'. Since you don't know, I'll ask you something else. You said you've snuck into many adventurer groups, and you can disguise as both men and women. Apart from seducing Dawn Adventurers, have you ever had any sparks with anyone else? For example, did you have any sparks when you were a woman, or did you have any sparks when you were a man? "
Ma Qiusha wasn't the only one who didn't know what to say.
Dorcas noticed everyone's stares, but he didn't show any reaction. "Do you know what's the most important thing when running a bar? Other than information, it's interesting stories.
"Don't you think Ma Qiusha's story is very interesting? If she can rely on her acting skills to become popular among both men and women, it'll be very interesting to talk about. "
Other than Ma Qiusha, everyone reluctantly accepted Dorcas's explanation.
As for Ma Qiusha, she couldn't not accept it either. After all, she was an Extraordinaire.
But accepting it was one thing. As for the questions, she definitely wouldn't answer.
Ma Qiusha was very firm, so Dorcas gave up on asking. Ma Qiusha thought she had escaped a disaster, but she didn't see Kale and Wa Yi shaking their heads and sighing not far away.
Dorcas had already made up his mind to use Ma Qiusha's story as a topic to attract more people in the bar. How could he give up halfway?
Since Ma Qiusha wasn't willing to talk about it, then he could make it up!
Moreover, he could completely let himself go when he made it up. The more ridiculous it was, the more interesting it would be.
As long as Ma Qiusha was a real person, her amazing makeup skills and acting skills were real, and she had snuck into other adventurer groups was real, then what happened after that wasn't important. Dorcas could completely improvise, and he could make up a new version every day according to the customers' preferences.
So, if Ma Qiusha didn't say anything, it would actually benefit Dorcas. If he had said it, under the effect of "reality," Dorcas might not have dared to make it up for fear of being seen through. But if he didn't say anything, then the ending would be different.
While Kale and Wa Yi were lamenting over Ma Qiusha, they had already passed through a forest full of coniferous trees.
After flying through the forest, a group of people who were busy moving goods appeared in front of them.
