"Haha…!!! We're rich! Our village is rich!" The villagers shouted.

The events of the Demonic Beast wave attack, previously considered a catastrophe, now turned into a boon when the villagers, saw the precious corpses of dozens of Bloodthirsty Scorpions scattered around his village.

*Tap…!!!

Under the cheers of the residents, Theo made a light landing right in the middle of the crowd, which was currently around the gate.

"Wait for what else? They all belong to you!" Theo. Put on a simple smile. The look in his eyes, directed at old man Gaho.

"Haha…! Hunting team! Crusty immediately!" Shouted Gugio, giving instructions to his team without waiting for old man Gaho.

"Ready…!!"

"OKAY…!!"

"We're rich!"

The young members of the hunting team, including Gris, with excited faces began to move to carry out the sorting process.

"O…! The amount of Bloodthirsty Scorpions body that needed to be sorted was enormous! So, the men as well as women who still have enough energy! Please help too!" Excite Gugio again.

Gugio's request, greeted with happy feelings by the villagers. All who feel capable, move to help. Now only children and parents are still living in the area.

"Wahhh... Brother, who are you? Why is it so good for us?" Said one of the little girls, running over to stare at Theo with eyes full of admiration.

"Yahhh…!! You are so strong, brother! How cool!" Another boy's.

"How can I be strong like you?" The village boys, began to swarm Theo.

"Not only is he strong, he is also very generous! After helping to stop the Demonic Beast attack, he gave his all to the village!" Said an old woman who was now also approaching Theo.

"Young man! Are you still single? I have a pretty and charming grandson!" Another old woman.

"Hey…! If that's the case, my grandson is definitely prettier than your grandson!" The old lady first spoke. Put on a fierce face.

"Hmmmm.. Isn't your granddaughter engaged?"

"Hmmmm.. Just engaged! If you are not married, can not be canceled at any time!"

The atmosphere turned increasingly boisterous as the boys and the elderly, scrambling to attract Theo's attention.

"Sorry…! I'm just an explorer who might just stop by for a moment, so please don't overdo it!" Theo. Responding to the crowd around while putting on a simple smile.

*…!!!

Before then, without waiting for a response from the crowd, Theo's figure suddenly dispelled. Reappeared right next to old gaho sir.

"Village master, it looks like we have a deal!" Theo.

Theo's words, responded by old man Gaho by putting on an unpleasant face.

"Follow me!" Old man Gaho answered briefly, without looking at Theo. Start walking away from the place.

***

(The village chief's residence)

Old man Gaho, apparently walked back to his residence.

And as soon as he reached the banquet hall before him, he asked Theo to wait. While old man Gaho himself, entered one of the other rooms adjacent to the banquet hall.

"Ohhh... Is the business outside done?" Ask Theo.

"Not yet, but I feel like my and Gris' whereabouts will be more useful here! So I decided to give direction to the members of the hunting team to continue and lead the sorting process!" Answer Gugio. From the tone of his speech and the look on his face, it is clear that Gugio now no longer has any suspicion of Theo.

On the other hand, Gris who also entered with Gugio, immediately took a seat right next to Theo. Unceasingly put on a beautiful and charming smile.

"Young master, not only are you strong, you seem to be quite an expert in the art of drinking tea!" Gris. Open chat. Seemed deliberately close the face to Theo.

The action that made Gugio, started to smile awkwardly when he saw her.

"Young woman! Don't get too excited! It would be bad if your grandfather saw what you're trying to do now!" Gugio.

Hearing Gugio's actual words intended to be just tempting, Gris responded by putting on an annoyed look.

This girl was seen to be responding, until the door of the next room that was originally closed, suddenly opened.

"What is he trying to do?" Said old man Gaho just as his figure stepped out. Staring sharply at Gris who was currently sitting in a position very close to Theo.

While Gris was on her own, she quickly took some distance as soon as she saw the gaze of her grandfather's eyes.

"Hmmmm.." Grunts old man Gaho. Started to take a sitting position cross-legged.

Theo himself, immediately glanced at the paper scroll that was currently in the hands of old man Gaho.

"Remember, you're just borrowing!" Said old man Gaho. Unstrap the roll straps, to start spreading the map on the floor of the room.

The map that had been fully open, of course immediately caught the attention of everyone in the room. Because other than old man Gaho who is the head of the village, no one has ever seen the map directly. Also by Gugio and Gris.

Theo himself, can see that the map that looks very old, completely does not have the usual title of each map at the top.

Pictured on the map, only a row of points of a particular region have been cross-marked.

"The sign with the red circle, is the location of the Teria Village!" Said old man Gaho, starting to give an explanation while pointing at the map.

"And the location you're looking for, the Demonic Beast Valley, is in this region, this, and this!" Continue old man Gaho, pointing to five locations marked with red crosses on the map.

Hearing Gaho's old man's explanation, Theo immediately frowned. Not expecting that the Demonic Beast Valley, it turned out to be five different locations.

However, the frown on Theo's forehead only lasted for a while, before finally disappearing.

"Hmmmmm... Okay! I understand!" Theo Response.

Hearing that, old man Gaho started rolling up the map again. Before binding as before.

"Young man! What exactly are you looking for in those places? Just so you know, the entire Demonic Beast Valley, is a forbidden location on top of this Azure Continent!"

"It is forbidden because it is indeed a very dangerous location! As the name suggests, it was the location where hundreds of types of powerful Demonic Beasts built nests!" Said old man Gaho.

The words of old man Gaho, only greeted by Theo with a simple thin smile back.

"Master, thank you for the warning! But I'll still go!"

"For reasons why? Sorry, I can't give you an explanation! It'll be too complicated!" Theo.

"Whatever! Besides, I'm not giving you a warning! Just curious!" Response old man Gaho. Put on an indifferent face.

"All right! So, who is the person from your village who will come with me as the map holder?" Ask Theo.

As with the initial agreement, old man Gaho would only agree to lend a map on the condition that one of the people of Teria village, join Theo as the holder of the map.

Theo himself, actually felt benefited by these conditions. Because after all, he was a stranger in Tartarus Land. So it will be very easy if there are natives who clearly understand the surrounding area, go with him to read the map.

"Gugio, are you willing to carry out this task?" Ask old man Gaho. Submit the task of carrying the map and accompanying Theo, to Gugio.

"No problem!" Answer Gugio briefly.

"All right! Then it's decided!" Said old man Gaho. However, only a second did he finish his sentence…

"I'm coming too!"

Gris, voicing his desire to take part in Theo's journey towards the Demonic Beast Valley.
