Chapter 693 Staring
Chapter 693 Staring
These past few days have been nothing short of a disaster for the nobles of the Western Frontier.
No one expected the Adventurers' Guild to be so strong.
They actually have the power to intimidate all the nobles in the Western Territory at the same time!
The key point is that the guild's main leaders have all gone to Val'kam to provide support.
The only ones who came to intimidate them were Anno's "Investigators".
Of course, the biggest blow to the Western nobles was the death of Duke Pris!
Buck and Castin's assassination was perfectly executed.
The Potter family couldn't find any evidence and, in their frustration, announced that it was suicide.
However, both the Potter family and other Western nobles knew that the Adventurers' Guild was behind it!
Faced with this situation, the noble faction of the Western Frontier reacted in two ways.
One theory is that the notoriously lawless Adventurers' Guild is finally serious this time, and that the royal family may be involved.
Even an eighth-tier archmage died suddenly at home. If they continue to oppose the Adventurers' Guild and the royal family, they may very well end up dying a miserable death at home as well.
Faced with the intimidation of the Adventurers' Guild, they began to compromise!
The other reason was that they believed they could no longer stay in the kingdom and would surely be killed if they remained.
They were carrying their family's assets and wanted to go to other countries.
The wealth of a nobleman is undoubtedly enormous!
But many of them are real estate.
It's not an easy task to gather and carry away all the treasures that can be taken with you.
Thanks to a traitor within their family who secretly tipped them off, the Adventurers' Guild learned of these nobles' plans in advance.
Thus, the investigators intercepted a total of over 100 million gold coins worth of gold and silver treasures!
When Anno learned of this while having dinner with Tester in the royal city, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"These nobles are incredibly wealthy; the Adventurers' Guild's financial problems are solved!"
Tester glanced at the message, his eyes flashed, and he sighed in a mocking manner.
"Oh dear, I only realized how poor Nigar was after becoming the acting king."
Money is being spent everywhere, and there's war too.
As a shareholder of the guild, I have to issue a commission if I want the leaders to take action.
Ugh, I can't take this anymore!
Is anyone here? Is there anyone kind enough to offer some funds?
Stare!
Anno, feeling increasingly uncomfortable under Tester's gaze, who was propping his head up with his hands, said helplessly, "You're supposed to be the acting king, can't you act like one?"
Stare!
"Alright, alright, this time we were only able to make money because of your word, so let's split it 50/50!"
Anyway, the guild doesn't need much money right now!
For Anno, gold coins are now just a number.
He hadn't experienced the feeling of being short of money in a long time.
What we lack now is talent!
This time, the funds are a bit tight because there are too many branches to establish and we also need to give a settling-in allowance to the newly appointed branch presidents who have been "pioneers" in the past.
Fifty million gold coins are more than enough!
Once the guild is running smoothly, it will be able to generate a steady stream of income for him.
"That's a true brother!"
Tester slammed his hand on the table, poured Anno a glass of wine himself, and then drank it.
"Anno, aren't you planning to go to Walkam?"
After finishing his drink, Tester asked, "With you there, things should get much better over there!"
He didn't doubt that Anno was running away.
Anno must have had his own reasons for not going.
He was just a little confused.
"Lord Troy and Xue Feibai are over there; they should be almost there!"
Anno explained, "On the surface, the situation on the mainland seems unchanged, but in reality, it's completely different from before."
When the subject was brought up, Tester asked with a serious expression, "How so?"
Anno then began his analysis.
The appearance of Dragon Island and the sea creatures, especially Avalon, the leader of the Black Dragon Legion who has already shown his face, indicates that Dragon Island's power can crush any one of the six kingdoms in the alliance even without the World-Destroying Demon Dragon.
The corresponding sea creatures are certainly not weak.
However, the reason they did not launch a large-scale invasion may be because the Deep Sea Fairy has been sealed for too long and needs time to understand the current situation on the continent.
The group of sea creatures in the Ai'er Mountains was most likely the work of a separate sea creature group.
It should be the same behavior as the Green Dragon that caused chaos in the Roland Empire.
In this way, even if Anno goes there, he won't have much of an advantage against the sea creatures backed by the Storm Sea.
Staying there indefinitely isn't a solution.
You might even become a target for the Deep Sea Enchantress.
Neither the World-Destroying Dragon nor the Deep Sea Enchantress have made any major moves yet.
Anno felt that their actions were largely due to the God Hunters.
Although Anno hasn't seen many God Hunters, based on current information, God Hunters also have levels.
A powerful God Hunter can even hunt down a mid-level god!
Even Xize could force back Hawthorne, the dragon scorpion god who was at the level of a mid-level god.
How strong must that senior, the deaf God Hunter, that Xize mentioned be!
Let's be a bit bold and make a guess.
Does the continent of Angoros harbor a God Hunter that even the World-Destroying Dragon and the Deep Sea Fairy fear?
Could it even hunt down beings who are high-ranking gods?
Besides these, there is another force that should not be overlooked.
That's the Demon King!
He must have the strength to subdue those god-level creatures, given that he was able to take several god-level creatures away from Sagunto!
Moreover, he now possesses several Pandora's Boxes.
Anno can use Pandora to enhance the strength of his subordinates.
Hawthorne can use Pandora to ascend to the level of a mid-god.
Why can't the Demon King do the same?
Perhaps the opponent's strength far exceeds Anno's imagination.
It is precisely because of this that Anno speculates that there are God Hunters on the continent who are capable of hunting down high-ranking gods.
Otherwise, the Demon King would have ruled Ungomulos long ago.
There are also the gods and deities who are searching for Pandora's whereabouts.
This includes the gods who wanted to kill Anno.
"According to what you're saying, wouldn't the continent of Un'gomulos be in complete chaos right now?"
After hearing what Anno had to say, Tester felt as if the world was about to be destroyed at any moment, and quickly took a sip of wine to calm his nerves.
"Actually, there are gods in the royal city who want to kill me!"
Anno suddenly dropped a bombshell that stunned Tester.
But Anno continued, "Don't worry, they were taken care of before I got back."
"Who is it?"
Tester was somewhat curious.
Anno said that the people of the God Clan all have the strength of the eighth or ninth rank.
How could he not know that there were powerful individuals within the kingdom capable of silently eliminating enemies of this caliber!
"one......"
Anno thought for a moment about how to describe Philomena, then said, "A former god?"
It was actually Philomena who told him about this.
Some time ago, before Anno returned, Philomena made a special trip to the royal city to buy materials for her temple.
As a result, she discovered a group of special people.
Philomena said they were from the War God Clan, and their combat power was extremely strong, with one of them even being a ninth-tier being.
Anno took a special look at Philomena's strength at that time.
I don't know when, but Philomena has already reached the ninth rank!
Although it was only the early stage of the ninth rank, it was enough to surprise Anno.
When Anno pressed Philomena about how she dealt with the other party, she hesitated and didn't answer.
She then went back to continue building her temple.
Glug glug glug~!
Burp!
Tester simply picked up the bottle next to him and chugged it down.
Calm down!
Be nice.
There was a god within the kingdom—he completely ignored the word 'once'!
God truly blesses Nigal.
"Anno, you don't need to worry about the war with the sea creatures for now. Continue with your plan of interdimensional invasion."
Tester stood up and declared boldly, "With me here, the entire nation of Nigal will support your plan!"
After all, this is a plan to make the kingdom strong quickly!
Faced with such chaos, Tester felt that if the Kingdom of Nigal did not grow stronger quickly, it might be wiped out by those gods in the blink of an eye.
