After Daniel led his creatures out of town through the hole in the wall, he closed the hole. He left the house. He left the body of the old man he had killed in a secluded spot. He didn't think anyone would care about this lonely man. And if they did, there was no way they could connect the murder to Daniel.
Daniel laughed with pleasure, if the other bandits were selling their stolen goods to Ted, he had dealt them a heavy blow. Now he had to gradually take control of all the criminal elements in the area, and the way was cleared.
He set out to get his goods back from the guild. At the guild he met a few guards.
They were clearly uncomfortable. Probably Ted had been handing out a lot of bribes while he was doing his job and the man they were taking bribes from was no more.
The guard said, "Ted had a thing with you before he died. Tell me, what do you know about his death?" Daniel took a wary stance. "I had no problem with the deceased. As you know, he tried to con me and failed. If I were you, I would question the people he successfully defrauded and those who were waiting for a chance to take revenge on him."
An old merchant sitting in the guild at the time said, "In short, you will have to question every merchant in town." The guard gave the old merchant a pissed look. But he knew he had nothing.
The old merchant shook Daniel's hand as the guard left. "I don't know who got Ted and how, but whoever did got his chance because you put the bastard in jail." Another merchant said, "They say the Wogs tore Ted apart, no one can train those creatures. I think Ted died because the guards didn't do their job properly and let the wogs in through the town wall."
The merchants argued among themselves. Daniel took his two donkeys with their loads. He visited a few shops and sold his goods at what he thought were good prices. By the end he had made ten gold pieces.
On his way out of town he bought the supplies he thought his gang would need for five gold pieces. Just as he was leaving the town, he saw a man walking towards the blacksmiths' street.
He was carrying five hundred pounds of iron ingots on a cart drawn by two horses. 'Now is your chance,' Daniel said to himself. He bargained with the man and bought fifty pounds of iron for two gold pieces.
Daniel left the town through the town gate. He came to the woodcutter's hut, now a den of bandits.
The bandits were surprised to see him, Brad said, "What happened to your skin? Have you been out in the sun too long?" Alex "What happened to your hair, it was blond, now it's black like mine" Daniel "I went into town, I changed my appearance a bit so people wouldn't associate me with the bandit. How many two meter muscle men are there in this area?"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Brad said, "Good idea, boss." Meanwhile Daniel noticed something was missing "Where's Frank?" Brad replied "He was chasing a target."
Daniel quickly put on his animal hide armor, strapped his sword and hand axe to his waist and picked up his giant axe.
As a new addition to his armor he had made a cheap cloth hood. Underneath this hood he wore a cloth mask to cover his mouth.
Seeing their boss armed, the other bandits also armed themselves. Unlike their leader, they did not need to hide their faces. Danel said, "We'll hide our faces from now on." When Brad replied, "Rex never left witnesses, boss." Daniel said, "That idiot's behavior has obviously reduced the number of traders passing through here.
We'll take it on a case by case basis. Sometimes we leave no one alive, sometimes we release our victims after the robbery."
At this moment Frank came running up, panting. "Adventurers, adventurers," he said.
Brad sat back down, "Adventurers? Don't worry, they don't attack bandits unless you get in their way."
Daniel searched his memory. Then he asked Danny "Danny do you know what these adventurers are?" Danny said "No."
Daniel asked Brad, "Who are these adventurers?" Brad said, "Danburg province is a small place, they don't have guilds here, so it's normal that you don't know.
Adventurers are a kind of warrior and mage group. They earn their rank by killing magical creatures, collecting magical items, and so on. They are welcomed in all kingdoms because they hunt wogs here and other harmful creatures in other regions.
If there is a particularly powerful creature, their guild announces it and the stronger adventurers go and hunt it. From the creatures they hunt, they make weapons and equipment for themselves from the materials with high magical energy they find.
In short, they are good. Occasionally they hunt bandits, but it's rare, they don't gain anything from killing us, so they don't get involved."
"So what rank are these adventurers?" Daniel asked. Brad said, "If they came to this area, I'm sure they're tier one. There's a chance they'll find wogs, wolves, and maybe the odd graded bear with a magic core.
There's nothing else that would be of use to them. By the way, you have to be at least tier one to join the adventurers, so this ones should be tier one. They bind any god of power up to first tier and then take the adventurer's oath.
Adventurers are not bound to a single god of power. Their rules for gaining power are set by the Council of Gods."
Daniel said, "You're very wise, Brad." "I wanted to be an adventurer before I became a bandit, but life never gave me a way out of the first tier," Brad said with a sad face.
Daniel was surprised, "Don't you know about the Alviribus?" he asked. They all looked at Daniel dumbfounded and he replied, "It is because of Alviribus that I have been promoted, he is a God who gives promotion by killing enemies in battle."
Frank asked, "So we can tier up by killing people?" Daniel nodded.
All three bandits knelt and pledged their allegiance to the way of Alviribus. They had now chosen the Alviribus' way of gaining power.
Daniel asked Frank, "How many adventurers are there?" Frank replied, "Four."
Daniel said, "Get ready, we're leaving." Brad said, "You don't think we can defeat four tiered warriors at once, and I'd like to kill someone powerful and move up the ranks as soon as possible, but that would be suicide."
A sly smile appeared on Daniel's face "Don't worry, I have a plan."
