Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 131: Chapter 113 Ange’s Pursuit_l

Translator: 549690339

A month later, at Klun Town located two thousand kilometers away from Mara Town, Fala and a team of Paladins bid farewell to Ascetic Monk Lord Ange with tears in their eyes.

A Paladin clutched two demon crystals in his hand, saying with a choked voice:

“Lord Ange has been too kind to me. I had only caught two rabbits and wanted to present them as a tribute, Lord Ange gave me a demon crystal and asked for the live little rabbit. He shared the large rabbit with everyone, oh, Lord Ange is too generous. I have never even touched a demon crystal in my life, and I wish to follow Lord Ange always and serve him well.”

Everyone glanced at him collectively: Are you reluctant to leave Lord Ange or his demon crystals?

Despite the impressive title of a Paladin, their lives are actually quite hard.

Their work is exhausting with little reward, and they are almost always away from home, especially these lower-ranking Paladins who could be drafted by any higher-up in the Church.

That’s why they were drafted by Ange and were sent out more than two thousand kilometers, away from home for two months.

If everyone was as generous as Lord Ange, they would be more than willing to be drafted. However, not all the higher-ups were like him, they not only bossed people around, but they also didn’t give money.

The journey was provided for, but what about the journey back home?

Not only were they not paid, but some would even force them to pay for their own food and drinks out of pocket, promising they could claim the expenses later.

Yes, in theory, they could get reimbursed, but it would take a year or two of going through procedures, only to possibly end up broke.

Even if they managed to claim the expenses without any issue, some of the money might be deducted as a service fee…

So when they heard about being drafted, everyone was very resistant. Especially since Ange was an ascetic monk, who was famously poor, and also led a hard life. Would not accompanying him on the road mean sleeping in the open and struggling with difficulties?

Unfortunately, nobody dared to oppose. An ascetic monk who managed to drive away a Fallen Angel, who would dare to oppose him?

A group of people, including Fala, set off dejectedly. That night, they had their fill of grain and beet.

At that time, they thought: At least we have enough to eat.

However, when one of the Paladins brought back a nest of rabbits, including a live little rabbit, Ange reciprocated with a demon crystal. It was then that everyone realized that this Ascetic Monk was not poor.

Despite the fact that Ange collected thousands or even hundreds of thousands of demon crystals every day, demon crystals were not a circulating currency. Most people had no access to them, and one demon crystal was equivalent to ten gold coins.

A gold coin, during a good year, could buy enough food for a family of three for a year.

A nest of live little rabbits traded for a demon crystal that could feed a family of three for ten years…

Suddenly, everyone’s initiative greatly increased. All the way, all sorts of fresh things kept being brought to Ange, from food and drinks to gifts, they served him wholeheartedly.

In fact, they were not all doing it for a reward. Since the first nest of rabbits, Ange no longer rewarded them with demon crystals, but he would give back something of equal value.

The main thing was his good attitude, the Paladins did not have many expectations. Their biggest hope was not to lose money on this trip, and the things Ange gave back in return have already far exceeded their input.

Why did he stop rewarding them with demon crystals? Of course, it was because Negris put a stop to it: “You’re the ruin of your own family. A nest of little rabbits and you gave them a demon crystal? Are you really that wasteful?

When I was alive, rabbits were candy, a mouthful per nest!”

Ange tilted his head, aren’t they so cute, aren’t they worth anything?

Since then, whatever Ange gave back, Negris would check first.

After reaching their destination, Ange gave each of them a demon crystal, two bags of food, and some sweets. This was enough for them to eat until they got home and still have money left over.

“But why did Lord Ange come to Klun Town? Klun Town is already on the edge of the desert. Could it be that the desert is where Lord Ange practices asceticism?”

“It’s very likely. It’s said that a bronze dragon lurks in an oasis in the desert, I wonder if Lord Ange could defeat the bronze dragon?”

“Who knows? Lord Ange is a person who possesses a Holy Soul and the power of Divine Arts is immeasurable.’

Fala and a group of Paladins chatted idly as they left Klun Town together.

Not long after they left, at a secluded place outside the small town, a bronze juvenile dragon, a unicorn, a cute little girl, a handsome zombie, a novice swordsman, and a little sapling, all rushed out impatiently, gasping for air: “Finally out, I was about to suffocate.”

They were trapped inside the Temple of Rest for a month and a half, everyone was about to go crazy, except for the little sapling, it’s not a person… uh…it seems that other than Luther, none of them are people…

No matter what, everyone was going crazy. Not only did Ange not want to get close to the palace, but the others didn’t want to either, so they all lingered around the farm.

Except for a little greenery in the farm, everything else was deserted. In this environment, except for the Undead, no one could stay here, not even the Undead could bear it, hence the little zombie and angel skeleton often got into fights due to irritation.

Being confined for a day or two wouldn’t have been a problem, but they were confined for a month and a half, forty-five days. If they didn’t get out soon, they would go crazy.

After hearing that Ange had been farming here for more than a thousand years, now everyone looked at Ange with stars in their eyes, in admiration.

“Where are we?” Luther, looking at the desolate scenery around him, asked curiously, “Have we arrived at the so-called most desolate town? The starting point of the desert?”

Klun Town was known as the most desolate town. How was it desolate? It had so much grass, and even cactuses, they should really visit the Resting Abyss and see what desolation truly means.

Originally, Negris intended to directly find Silver Coin and Anthony to send Ange back, and then it would go find the Bronze Dragon by itself, but everyone strongly objected.

“We want to see you ride the mother dragon!”

Alright, since the most dangerous situation had passed, and they had a team of Paladins escorting them on the road, and everyone assumed that he was some sort of high-level person from the church, they didn’t dare to examine him and let him pass right through.

As long as Ange was not in danger, it wouldn’t matter where they went. The key was that Negris could not get rid of them either.

They let Ange contact Silver Coin through soul connection to check where the nearest Bronze Dragon was. Learning that one of the Bronze Dragons was in an oasis in the desert, they arrived here under the escort of the Paladins.

Klun Town, a small town on the edge of the desert, was known as the most desolate place of human habitation. Moreover, with the expansion of the desert, Klun Town became increasingly desolate. The vegetation was decreasing, farmland was abandoned, and the population was relocating. In not too long, the town would be swallowed by the desert.

“Let’s go, let’s go find the mother dragon.” Luther cheerfully called for everyone to get going.

Ange didn’t move, he stared blankly into the distance.

“What are you looking at?” Negris leaned in to ask.

“There are farmlands over there, abandoned.” Ange said.

Negris was spitting blood, “Other people can’t move when they see wealth or females, but you can’t move when you see farmlands! Can’t you have some aspirations!”

“Oh, have these farms all been left to waste? Can I plant some crops?” For the first time, Ange didn’t stutter, but spoke fluently.

So that was Ange’s aspiration.

“No!” Negris roared, “I’m going to ride the mother dragon, I don’t have time to accompany you to do farming!”

The others glanced at him: See, you admitted it..
