Chapter 229: Otherworldly Customs
After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, compared to Owen’s somewhat evasive statements, the Raptor Squad was more straightforward. After all, they were just adventurers, and they couldn’t be expected to have a high level of vision on the overall situation, let alone a sense of secrecy. Therefore, Owen learned a lot about the other world.
However, after listening, Owen understood the other party’s straightforwardness.
The world where the Raptor Squad is located does not have a unified empire, but rather multiple kingdoms coexisting, including many countries composed of non-human intelligent races.
Humans cannot live in harmony with each other, let alone between countries.
Because of the confrontation with each other, every kingdom cannot relax and is very focused on cultivating the strong. Coupled with the prevalence of adventurers and professionals, it has led to an endless stream of strong people in their world.
In the long history of thousands of years, there have been countless legends, and Demigods have often appeared. To this day, there are still multiple Demigods confirmed to exist.
If you want to invade such a world, let alone whether you can succeed or not, the cost alone is enough to make anyone back down.
From this point of view, the world where the Raptor Squad is located is of a higher level than the world Owen was in before.
But it’s not certain, because Owen has not set foot in the Empire to this day. He only knows a little about this huge Empire. Who knows how many secrets this bloated and decaying Empire has covered up? Maybe it’s even more terrifying than the world where the Raptor Squad is located.
In any case, it is a fact that the strong are more active in the world where the Raptor Squad is located, especially in terms of adventure. Every time a new Teleportation Circle is discovered, it will bring a wave of exploration craze, attracting many high-level adventurers, even Demigods to participate.
In contrast, the kingdom does not pay much attention to this, because it is impossible to colonize and occupy a new world through the Teleportation Circle. Let alone that only a few people can be teleported each time, no country can bear the consumption alone, but it is a good place for Demigods, because in such a world, they can collect faith without any scruples.
Of course, the downside is that generally the laws of such a world are not perfect. It is easy to collect faith, but the difficulty of igniting the Divine Fire has increased by more than ten or a hundred times, so there are gains and losses.
The Raptor Squad was very lucky. The Teleportation Circle connecting this world is located in an underground collapse in the corner of a forest. It was discovered by Zhi by accident, so before the Teleportation Circle was exposed, only they could come to this world.
As for the reason why Ya and the others wanted to find a mage teammate, they also told Owen after signing the temporary teammate contract.
“You found a tomb suspected to be a Legendary Mage’s?” After hearing this, Owen didn’t show an excited expression, but frowned instead.
Because of Bryan, Owen was not completely ignorant of the mage community. It was because he knew that he showed such an expression.
Mages are a rather reclusive group of people, because they need stable mental power to cast spells, so they will avoid communication and develop feelings. Coupled with years of indulging in research, the older and stronger the mage, the more cold and ruthless they become. After reaching the Legendary Realm, they almost act in a completely different way of thinking from ordinary people.
Therefore, after a mage dies, they either bury everything they have, or they wait for destined people to come after preparing the test.
But the most terrifying thing is to transform oneself into an undead. They have completely abandoned all bottom lines. No one can predict what kind of consequences it will cause.
Moreover, Legendary Mages often use their own Mage Towers as their tombs. Even without anyone presiding over them, it is a matter of life and death to break in.
The Raptor Squad also understood the danger of the Legendary Mage’s tomb, but it was a pity to give up, so they planned to find a mage to cooperate with and try to see if they could make a breakthrough. If not, they could only sell the information.
“Let’s see about this later.” Owen pondered for a long time, but did not give a clear answer.
Ya, the captain, nodded upon hearing this, because she also knew that with their limited knowledge and past experience, the three of them could not make an accurate judgment, so they had to let a professional like Owen go to the scene to have a look.
Next, Ya introduced Ghost Valley Town to Owen. It was not their first time here. Zhi was a local, so she was very familiar with this place, and even had a house here.
However, Owen refused to go back to live with them, but wandered around the town instead.
The population of Ghost Valley Town comes from quite complex sources, mainly local Beastkin, that is, intelligent races with animal characteristics, such as Zhi.
There are also descendants of humans who tried to colonize the Savage Continent but failed, and intelligent creatures from other worlds who strayed into the Teleportation Circle early on but couldn’t go back. They jointly built this peculiar town.
Owen, who personally built Green Shade Town, liked Ghost Valley Town, which has a similar style, and he always felt that this place was like “Wohu Canglong Xiaoji Island” （A hidden paradise for masters）.
The meat seller on the street may be a Sword Saint, the map seller on the street corner may be an Archmage, and the one who secretly buys unhealthy picture albums in the alley may be a Legendary Assassin. In short, anything is possible.
After leaving the territory, leaving many guards, and walking on unfamiliar streets, Owen suddenly felt a sense of freedom from all restraints.
However, Owen did not indulge in this feeling, because just as billionaires sometimes envy the simple happiness of ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible for him to abandon his wealth and toil for daily necessities.
Adventure is good, but being a lord is even better. Owen still knows the difference and doesn’t intend to make things difficult for himself. This experience is enough.
As he walked, Owen suddenly found himself in a strange alley. Most of the people coming and going were men. Occasionally, there were women, but not many.
“Could this be the authentic otherworldly custom of men and women?!” Owen was shocked.
Although he had more than one woman, he had never been to such a place in two lifetimes, so he couldn’t help but be tempted.
Of course, Owen didn’t want to try it out. He mainly wanted to experience the atmosphere. Yes, it was to experience the atmosphere and satisfy his curiosity. This is also human nature, understandable, understandable.
Owen coughed lightly. When he stepped into the alley, he hesitated whether to show a wretched regular customer’s face, or to maintain a gentleman’s Sima face.
Before he could make up his mind, he was attracted by the first shop.
“Miaomiao Fun?” This name reminded Owen of “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” but when he looked inside, good heavens, he saw a Cat-girl lying lazily on the long counter with a hint of charm. Seeing Owen poking his head around, she narrowed her big eyes, as if she wanted to hook his soul away.
It’s a pity that Cat-girls are okay, but Cat-girls that look like the white cat from “Tom and Jerry” are out of the question.
At this time, Owen realized that his bottom line was unexpectedly firm, congratulations.
But Owen was really an eye-opener next. Besides real Cat-girls, there were also bearded female Dwarves, Cow-girls with overwhelming chests, Mermaids who could only stay in the water, and even Winged Humans with human bodies and bird claws.
