I saw the readers in the book review area asking me if I had a snake sperm disease. I wanted to say that I haven’t taken medicine recently and I feel so cute. I’m just acting cute and asking for a medicine... No, I’m asking for a vote.

"At that time, everyone was filled with resentment because of getting a qualification certificate - no, I'm not saying that the county magistrate is not." The black iron dwarf Rud tried his best to deny that he was rude to Lance.

Seeing his nervous look, everyone next to him burst into laughter. It was no wonder that no one knew that Rud had become the captain of the guard and Lance was his immediate boss. If he was gossiping behind his back, he would be in trouble.

But no matter how much you smile, everyone actually agreed with Rude's words. After all, the indicator set by the county governor was too crap. It all depends on whether you or your team's consumption in Gululing is enough, and it is not related to the order of first and then arrival. If you become a stingy person, you will probably have no chance of being in your life.

"At that time, the first batch of those who obtained the qualification certificates were not only our Jackal Mercenary Group, but also the Violet Mercenary Group, the Flame Mercenary Group, a Vampire Noble Master, and a small team of four." Rud counted with his fingers, and a look of pride appeared on his fireworks-colored face. "There were at least 300 adventurers entrenched in Guru Ridge at that time, but we were the first batch of them to get it."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about the topic!" The audience next to them urged impatiently.

Rud stopped and looked around. When he saw everyone staring at him, he nodded with satisfaction and continued the story: "You can imagine how excited everyone was at that time. After all, it was a ruin. It was a ruin. It took several years or decades to appear. No one could tell whether it was clear. In short, if you missed it, there was no place to look for it. Since everyone got the qualification certificate, they couldn't wait to flock into the ruins."

"What happened during this period?" Victor asked.

The dwarf had long noticed this young man who listened very carefully. He had a good impression of Victor because after all, he had a good impression of those who were willing to listen to his story carefully.

Rud nodded after hearing this: "Everyone is an adventurer. He should be very clear about the people in our industry. In ordinary situations, they avoid their peers. Although there are occasional cooperation, you have also seen that there is only one ruin and only one treasure. Everyone goes for the only treasure. There is absolutely no possibility of cooperation here."

Rud glanced at the magic flames swaying in the tavern fireplace with a light gray gaze, as if he was trapped in memory.

"At the beginning, it was nothing. Even because of the unfamiliarity with the ruins, our first group of people who entered took care of each other. But—" Rude's voice suddenly turned around here. "We mercenary groups were worried about each other, so they would not take any action without reservation in the battle. However, those scattered adventurers were different. The vampire noble among them was really strong. They summoned a strange black knight and rushed to the front, passing through the hurdles and killing the generals. It can be said that a large part of the enemies were destroyed by him alone."

"Black Knight?" Victor asked in confusion. Of course he knew what it was. It was a high-level spiritual subduing technique in the undead magic. If you apply the identity of a vampire, you must have a very high level.

He suddenly subconsciously thought of the figure he saw when he came to the city during the day. Could it be that it was him?

But Rud's story did not stop because of him. On the contrary, Victor's attention was quickly pulled back by the other party and gave up thinking.

The dwarf said angrily: "Little guy, don't interrupt. In short, you just remember that the young vampire is very powerful. Not only is he good at using magic, but he is also quite good at swordsmanship, but you need to know that the person who lives in our mercenary industry may not be the best."

Rud lowered his voice.

"At that time, everyone was actually very simple. They just went for the treasure. If you think more, you would know that it was not that easy. But the situation was there at that time. I felt that one opponent was one more chance, so someone tried to attack the young vampire."

"What's the result?" asked the people around.

"Missing!" Rude held his mouth for a while and jumped out a word: "No one expected that the flame mercenary group of more than ten people would be almost destroyed by the other party alone."

"So awesome!?"

"Well, but that vampire youth is not much better. After all, he was besieged and suffered a lot of injuries and escaped from the ruins." Rud's expression turned into a strange smile: "Then next, our team, the Violet Mercenary Group, and those scattered adventurers are left."

"Have you fought?"

"No, no, it should be said that there is not yet. We continue to move forward, but what happened just now reminded everyone that the person standing opposite you may not be your friend, but the enemy who will draw swords at you at any time. When we finally met the boss, there were inevitably casualties in the team." Rude recalled: "The reason was that the Violet bastard deliberately led the boss to us, causing us to bear the damage, and they could reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Did you see this scar of me?" The dwarf opened the buttons of his top, revealing a flesh scar that stretched from his collarbone to his lower abdomen: "This is thanks to those grandchildren."

Everyone took a breath, but Rude himself didn't care much.

"It can be predicted that our Cailang Mercenary Group and the Violet Mercenary Group have had a dispute, but no one broke out that day, and these seeds of hatred have been planted." He took a sip of the beer in the glass and continued: "What really made everything explode was five days later. No one knew the specific reason, but as more and more teams entered the ruins, the conflicts accumulated by everyone were not a day or two. When they continued to erupt together, the whole scene completely lost control. At the beginning, there might be people who wanted to maintain order and persuade the fight, but when they hit the back, they were dragged into the water, and those who were scattered. In short, almost all the adventurers in the ruins were scattered."

There was silence around. Although many people present had not experienced the melee, they seemed to have heard of it for a long time.

The whole tavern suddenly became silent, only Victor blinked and asked curiously: "So how to solve this matter next?"

"Next?" the dwarf asked back, but he obviously did not need to seek other people's opinions, but instead spread a folded bulletin from his arms flat and slapped it in front of everyone. Victor recognized it. It was the [Adventurer Management Act] that the boss lady showed him before.

It turns out that's the reason!

Victor suddenly realized.

This bill stipulates that adventurers can only form a team below medium size and register under the supervision of the county magistrate to be qualified to enter the ruins. There is also an additional clause later, that is, each recognized team must obey the dispatch of the county magistrate's mansion and have only two opportunities to challenge the ruins in a week.

Victor felt incredible just by seeing such harsh conditions. He could not imagine how these people in front of him would agree.

When he raised this question, the people around him became even more silent and became dead.

Finally, Rude sighed: "It's not why he agreed, but he has to agree..."

After saying this, he glanced at the notice placed on the table: "Boy, do you know what the alias of this notice is?"

Victor was just a new arrival, so he naturally didn't understand the reason. He could only shake his head honestly.

"Blood Act." Rud said in a deep breath.

The breathing around him was suffocated.

"Fresh...Blood Act?" Victor repeated the name with anxiety. Why, compared to this terrifying name, the gloomy face on the faces of the adventurers around him was the most terrifying.

"Yes, when this bill is published, you can also imagine that those adventurers who yearn for unruly and unrestrained will not buy it. In fact, what this county magistrate did before has already made everyone very dissatisfied, but because he is the lord... No, because he is the lord's son, it turns into the terrible result later."

"What the hell happened?" Victor felt his heart beat slower, and the creepy atmosphere was like listening to a horror story.

"Dead." said the dwarf weakly: "All those who tried to resist him were dead."

"How many?" Victor asked in surprise.

A pale smile appeared on the dark face of the Black Iron Dwarf: "On that day, more than a thousand people died. I heard that the blood shed that day could form a stream, so this bill was later called the Blood Act."

Some of the people present had experienced that scene. After all, the time was not far apart, just half a month ago. However, everyone sitting here could only be glad that they had not become one of the buried and trampled corpses.

"Is it the county magistrate's order?" Should I say that the newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, or is curious, and this young man's problems are endless.

But Drew firmly gave the opposite answer: "No, it's not the county magistrate, but the county magistrate's brother. Do you know, the second son of the flame lord, His Highness Gil Igusas, the deputy commander of the General Staff of the Demon King Army. He led five thousand troops to sweep all the adventurers who ran to protest, and slaughtered them mercilessly."

A few adventurers who saw that scene from afar nodded: "As soon as the two sides met, the adults didn't even say hello, and directly ordered the massacre. The situation was not too miserable at that time. His Highness Gil-Igusas led all the regular troops of the kingdom. No one could escape the adventurers who were riding on the dragon and riding the dragon, no one could escape."

After the man said that, he couldn't help but tremble, as if he was recalling the Shura field at that time.

"Brother Gil? I know him." Victor said.

Everyone was stunned, but they noticed the pair of horns on the boy's head and suddenly realized that the person sitting here talking to them might be a nobleman from the kingdom.

However, Victor didn't care about these trivial matters at all, but frowned and asked in confusion: "But as far as I can tell, Brother Jill and Brother Lance have never been together, why did he help him kill people?"

Everyone present looked at each other in front of each other, and even the dwarf who told the story could not help but suffocate.

No one knew that the conspiracy behind the story might have been hidden, perhaps only a small number of Lance's confidants knew that their insidious and cunning county chief had put everyone in a row.

It was already late at night in Gulu Ridge, but the lights in the tavern were still there.
