Ch 324: The Hero’s Followers
Giant’s Barrier.
Belisa returned with several young dragons, recounting Chen Wen’s assistance.
She praised Chen Wen to the skies, then looked at Cain with malice.
The others also looked at Cain with ill intent.
Cain felt a chill down his spine. He immediately explained, “Don’t look at me like that. If it were you, you would have done the same thing.”
After pondering for a while, a middle-aged man with a bushy beard sighed, “Indeed, if it were me, I would probably have done the same.”
“Look! Even the Guild Master said so, proving I did nothing wrong,” Cain quickly said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the middle-aged man with the bushy beard say, “But there are no ifs!”
Cain knew he was in trouble and ran away.
“Stop him!” said the middle-aged man with the bushy beard.
Several people around him immediately rushed out.
“Don’t hit his face!”
Soon, Cain’s screams and the others’ laughter came from that direction.
They returned quickly.
Cain’s face was bruised and swollen, and he looked resentful. “You guys are going too far! Don’t let me catch a chance, or I’ll get even tenfold!”
“Heh! Last time you beat me up, you were the one laughing the loudest,” a young man said.
The others were simply feeling refreshed and didn’t care about his words.

Adal.
Since Luo Ka Village demolished its houses and rebuilt them with bricks and tiles, it has not been attacked by Kiru Beasts, while Wu Ka Village continues to be attacked by Kiru Beasts.
Although protected by cement walls, their efficiency in gathering materials is also affected, and the food they obtain is naturally less.
They had to seriously consider rebuilding their houses. After discussion, they agreed to demolish their existing houses and rebuild them with bricks and tiles.
Other villages that were initially unwilling to rebuild their houses also chose to rebuild.
There was no other way. Reality was before them, leaving them no choice but to change.
News of their access to delicious Aaron food and a method to avoid Kiru Beast attacks gradually spread.
Some villages, regardless of the distance, specifically came to confirm the truth of the matter.
When they saw the tall and thick walls, they were stunned. No wonder they could defend against the Kiru Beasts’ attacks.
When they thought that building such walls would require a huge cost, the people here told them that they could exchange materials for building such walls using things they usually didn’t even glance at.
They naturally didn’t believe it.
But when they saw a dragon exchanging those inconspicuous materials for food they had never seen before with the people here, they completely believed it.
They quickly expressed to the dragon in front of them that they also wanted to trade.
Those dragons returned to Chen Wen and reported these matters to him.
Chen Wen naturally did not refuse and entrusted this matter to Luo Ka Village.
More than a month later.
A group of Adal People found Luo Ka Village, hoping to meet Chen Wen, saying they had important matters to discuss with him.
Chen Wen was puzzled. If they wanted cement and food, they could just find Luo Ka Village; there was no need to meet him.
They must have other matters to discuss with him, but besides food and cement, what else could they need him for?
He came to Luo Ka Village.
Lis came with a group of unfamiliar Adal People.
“Greetings, respected Mr. Chen,” the leader bowed.
Chen Wen nodded in return. “You said you have something to discuss with me?”
The man said, “Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Rudolph, and I am a follower of the Hero.”
Hero?
Lis explained to Chen Wen that the Hero Rudolph spoke of was the person who saved countless Adal People from the Immaculate God Sect in ancient times. Because the time was too long ago, his name was not left behind. His followers also believed that no name was worthy of him, so they called him the Hero.
Rudolph continued, “I presume you already know the story of the Hero from ancient times, and you also know the plight of the Adal People. The Adal People eventually fell apart, and the Hero was powerless to save our brethren. However, the people of the Immaculate God Sect have not stopped creating bodies. Every year, many bodies still mutate, but no one saves them, and they are still put to death.
We follow in the Hero’s footsteps, wanting to emulate the Hero and save our suffering and soon-to-be-suffering brethren.”
Chen Wen asked, “What does this have to do with me?”
“Although we don’t know why you are collecting those materials, the fact that you specifically came to Adal to collect them shows that they are important to you,” Rudolph said.
Chen Wen said with interest, “Indeed, they are very important to me.”
Rudolph did not expect Chen Wen to admit it directly. He was somewhat taken aback, paused for a moment, and continued, “I wonder if you have considered this: the news of your arrival in Adal is constantly spreading. Now even we know, so how long before the people of the Immaculate God Sect know?”
“I have indeed considered that, but they need to guard against the Church of Light, another group of Aaron People. Even if they discover us, they won’t be able to spare their hands. And even if they do attack, they may not be our opponents,” Chen Wen said.
He hadn’t expected the Immaculate God Sect to remain unaware of their arrival in Adal.
Rudolph shook his head and said, “As you said, you may have a way to resist the people of the Immaculate God Sect. But according to our investigation, the people of the Immaculate God Sect have been searching for a way to go to Aaron, following the instructions of the Immaculate God, to pollute Aaron. If they know there is a space rift here that leads to Aaron, they will definitely try to take over this space rift.
They don’t need to defeat you; they just need to lure you away, and the way to lure you away is them.”
Rudolph pointed to Lis and the others.
Rudolph didn’t continue, knowing that Chen Wen would understand what he meant.
Chen Wen naturally understood. Rudolph was simply saying that the Immaculate God Sect would not directly clash with him but would attack the villages helping him collect materials.
These potion materials were analyzed from the Immaculate God Sect’s potions. They certainly knew what these materials were used for and knew their importance to Chen Wen and the others.
By grasping this point, the Immaculate God Sect could lure Chen Wen and the others away by attacking these villages or force them to give way without having to engage in direct conflict.
Chen Wen also knew this, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sold cannons and pointed cannonballs to the villages here.
If it were only to defend against Kiru Beasts, as long as there were walls, the Adal People could slowly wear down the Kiru Beasts with weapons made from Kiru Beast teeth. The cannons were mainly to deter the Immaculate God Sect.
Chen Wen didn’t expect that an Adal Person would also think of this. He looked at Rudolph and smiled slightly. “Continue.”
Rudolph took a deep breath and said, “There is a way to ensure that even if the Immaculate God Sect discovers you, they won’t have the energy to deal with you, nor the time to search for a way to Aaron.”
“You mean attacking the place where they create bodies!” Chen Wen said.
Rudolph nodded.
Creating bodies is the most important thing for the Immaculate God Sect. Attacking first to defend, attacking the place the opponent must save, forcing the opponent to be unable to attack the place we must save.
This Rudolph is quite interesting.
