Cursed Thrones
Chapter 26 - Rumors

Back inside Mapleford, everything seemed to change.

The faces of the city residents who previously seemed so happy, now look filled with fear.

Everything was walking while staring at the ground. Dare not lift their faces. Even some of the residents of the City were seen trembling in fear in a corner of the city.

"What the fuck?" lamented Brian in a soft voice.

There was no answer he got, making Brian walk straight towards the adventurer Guild.

Ask her trusted acquaintances.

"Yo, Adelle, what really happened? I just got back from the mission and what the hell is this?" brian asked in front after handing over the evidence of the previous Quest.

Adelle narrowed her eyes as she gave their gift without saying a word. Of course, cut security 'taxes.

After a while, Adelle came out of her desk. Waving his hand, hinting for the two of them to follow him.

Without a doubt, Brian and Cecilia also walked in Adelle's footsteps. Take her to a corner of the room, sitting at one of the tables that are quite far away from everyone else.

"Reux, you know about the devil worshipers, don't you?" adelle asked with a cold look.

"Those who are trying to resurrect the Demon King aren't they? Sure oes. Why the hell?" reply Brian short.

"Well...."

Adelle was seen taking quite a long breath before returning to speak.

"According to the commander of the ninth Holy Commandment, Reverie, the devil worshipers have just obtained Hecate's left arm" Adelle continued.

Both Cecilia and Brian's eyes immediately opened wide. Even the mouths of the two of them were also gaping wide in shock.

Not only that....

The two now understood the fear that enveloped the residents of this city.

"What?! Isn't that so bad?!" brian shouted in surprise.

"Very bad? You underestimated Hecate?" ask Adelle back.

"I know he's strong from legend but...."

Before Cecilia's words were finished, Adelle spoke again. Now with a voice that is soft enough to be difficult to hear others.

"You know why I let you two?" adelle asked briefly.

Brian and Cecilia immediately shook their heads simultaneously.

"One, you're harmless. Two, you hunt another demon. Thirdly.... People like you are slowing down Hecate's awakening completely."

Adelle's explanation makes sense. With the splitting of Hecate's power parts in various different regions, making its gathering extremely difficult.

Surely that fact alone is able to slow down the movements of the Satanists to regain the power of Hecate.

But....

"Absolutely.... How strong is the demon king? Has he not been killed in the past? It means he's not that strong, is he?" ask Brian.

Hearing that stupid question, Adelle immediately stood up with an annoyed face. Walk towards the special room of Guild employees before returning with a thick book.

'Brahakk!'

After slamming the tome on the table, Adelle opened it quite roughly. Turn through the pages of the book until it arrives at the page He is looking for.

"The Dragon Calender, 942. Six human heroes summoned from another world, along with Emperor Julius von Luvelia, successfully subvert Demon King Hecate.

Human casualties reached more than 10 million people across the continent of Terraria, the destruction of more than 50 small and medium-sized cities, as well as three large cities. Economic decline and famine swept through the entire empire as well as the entire continent.

In fact, the other continents were also affected by the impact of the Demon King Hecate. One of the greatest scars of the destruction that Hecate brought was a fertile region that is now an eternal ice region, Frosbite."

Hearing Adelle's lengthy explanation, Brian couldn't believe it. And so did Cecilia.

"Tu-wait first! I have a lot of questions for you!" scream Brian.

Adelle immediately closed the thick book while looking at Reux in front of her.

"Well.... Looks like you guys are just strong but pretty stupid huh? It's 974, the Dragon calendar. And yes, that death rate may not be accurate. But the difference may be only about 1 or 2 million.

Lastly, the Frostbite region was fertile ground. Indeed, in the North there are mountains covered with ice since long ago. The place where the Frost Elves live.

But thanks to Hecate's magic power, he expanded the area covered in eternal ice to the Tania mountain range. Even after Hecate's 32 years of being killed, the magic effect was still left."

'Glek!'

Brian swallowed his own saliva after understanding this reality.

Let alone the magic that changed the climate for decades. Brian even still had trouble using magic to burn a pile of wood.

In other words, if Hecate gets back up....

"Don't he, whatever happens, not get back up?!" cecilia panicked.

"You kid? Everyone knows it too." Adelle replied upsetly.

"Listen, I warn you because our relationship is mutually beneficial. Be careful, and don't be too flashy. You will invite the devil worshipers to hunt you down.

And if the sacred commandments find you, I will not take any responsibility because my agreement is only to keep my mouth shut." whispered Adelle before stepping away from the two.

Adelle's warning is precious.

Reawakening the two, that the fact they can still live quietly in this human city....

It is because no one knows their true figure.

"Then? How's now?" ask Cecilia while ordering some food and drinks. Impressive for Brian.

"Rest here for a while, then take that Ogre Quest. Buy some groceries and food for the next few weeks out of town." Brian explained.

"Well.... I will miss sleeping on a soft bed." lamented Cecilia.

"Patience is. It's a risk, isn't it?"

Putting on a pouting face, Cecilia placed her head on the table. His hand was seen hitting the table several times slowly.

Thinking about this, Brian was also tired if he had to always live in hiding.

What if....

He raised enough capital to rebuild the house? A quiet life in the depths of the forest?

"Hey, Cecilia. Know it? I was thinking of raising capital in order to rebuild a more decent house. What say?"

"Home?! Where?!"

"Stupid, calm yourself down a little!" brian shouted while keeping Cecilia's face away from him.

Brian took out a coin that was in his bag. Several coins were seen rolling for a moment before falling back on the wooden table.

"4 gold coins, and dozens of silver coins and bronze dime coins. Honestly, the financial situation is pretty good. But the problem is, is it enough to buy land? And can it?" ask Brian to Cecilia.

At the same time, the waiter came to bring two glasses of cold drinks for Brian and Cecilia

He overheard the last few words from Brian.

"Of course you can buy land. You guys can pass on the location you want to the Guild for us to take care of the rest. At a cost of course.

Or you can save a few coins by taking care of your own files at the town hall." explained the waitress kindly. Her smile was also so sweet that it adorned her pretty face.

"really? And.... If we buy that land.... Can we stop people from approaching? You know, we're pretty stingy." Brian said for a very nonsensical reason.

But the reply he got was far beyond his expectations.

"Of course you can. You can apply for territorial access limits, even if only on land of a certain size. Or rather, a pretty big land."

With this, both of them obtained a new hope and purpose.

Earn enough money to buy a large area of land, then forbid anyone to approach so that both can live a quiet life.
