In the next few days, Jenn didn't cause any trouble.
Passus was originally a peaceful town. Compared to those bustling cities, it was a bit deserted. But the good thing about it was that it was peaceful and quiet. On weekdays, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Apart from some rumors heard from the merchants, the daily topics of conversation were trivial matters like dog catching mice.
The arrival of Zayen and Patrina had caused quite a stir in Parsus, and there had been news about them everywhere in the past few days.
The militiamen waved their hands and stamped their feet, spittle flying everywhere as they talked about how the little girl Patrina had sent that tall and burly guy flying, while the young girls in the village talked more about that handsome and confident young nobleman.
As High Demons, Bixus' Charm was definitely maxed out.
Jenn didn't do anything else. He brought Pattilina to Bixus to check on the progress of the construction in the name of sightseeing.
But fortunately, everything went smoothly. After all, this place was close to the surface and not as dangerous as the real Underdark. Even Elyse did not encounter any decent enemies. She swept the entire underground with Xenomorph and only found some kobolds — of course, Zayen was not even interested in taking these idiots with low IQ as lackeys, so he just threw them to Xenomorph to add to its meal.
Bixus didn't have much trouble. The only problem was the lack of manpower. The five Goblins were ordered around by her.
Zayen had no choice but to let Elyse work harder for the time being. After all, Elyse could not return to the Grand Library now. Only after the construction of the dungeon was completed and Zayen had more manpower on his side could Elyse go back to study the fourth spell. Of course, that would also depend on his luck.
Apart from the construction of the Dungeon, Zayen spent his time in Blake Manor chatting with Lydia to relieve boredom. This era was not that open.
Married nobles like Lydia couldn't show their faces in front of the commoners. After all, nobles were born to be high and mighty.
Therefore, they couldn't go out casually. They could only stay at home and listen to Jenn's interesting stories.
As a high-ranking demon, Zayen had crawled through the Pantheon Library for many years. There was nothing he had not seen. Just a few of his secrets were enough to captivate Lydia and the rest.
As a fallen noble, Lydia and the rest did not have much entertainment to pass the time. No one would invite them to banquets or banquets. They had to stay in a deserted house every day. Anyone would feel depressed.
Zayen's arrival made the dull life of Lydia and the two maidservants a lot more exciting.
In fact, what they looked forward to most every day now was the interesting stories that Zayen would tell them after dinner.
They were no different from the housewives in modern society who would watch eight o 'clock on the television after dinner …
The Parkwood Family didn't respond to Daly's request, but Jenn wasn't surprised. These nobles didn't have high status and had bad tempers.
If he hadn't displayed his Legendary-level aura, even Daly wouldn't have agreed to his request.
Not to mention those who had not experienced it themselves. Daly must be having a hard time convincing the rest of the Parkwood Family to agree to Zayen's request. However, it was obviously not an easy task. In Zayen's opinion, it would probably take him ten days to half a month to settle.
But it was good. Once the Parkwood Family was done, the Dungeon would be completed.
But this time, Jenn guessed wrongly.
Just five days later, Daly returned to Passus. But what surprised Zayen was that other than the black-robed swordsman, there were also a hundred fully-armed private soldiers with her.
"Mr. Jenn, the Parkwood Family has agreed to your request."
Standing in front of Zayen again, Daly appeared even more cautious, but from her slightly thin face, it could be seen that this young lady had not been living a carefree life for the past few days.
But even so, she still forced a smile and handed over the document in her hand.
It was stamped with the seals of the Parkwood Family and the Federation. It was obvious that from this moment onwards, the Fallen Star Tooth was Jenn's private property.
"It seems like the Parkwood Family is worth befriending."
Since he had already gotten his benefits, Jenn didn't put on a stern face anymore.
Instead, he smiled and looked at the private soldiers behind Daly curiously. He had to admit that although the private soldiers didn't look as good as the regular army, they were still capable.
But to be working for the nobles, they had to be somewhat capable.
However, Jenn couldn't figure out why the private soldiers were here. He originally thought that the Parkwood Family was going to fall out with him, but it didn't seem to be the case.
"What's going on with these soldiers?"
It was no wonder that Jenn would ask this question. After all, these private soldiers weren't trash who relied on their master's power to show off their prowess. Instead, they were genuine private soldiers.
Even if the local nobles had some troops on hand, they couldn't just take them out for a stroll.
That was why Jenn initially thought that it was a sign that the Parkwood Family was planning to attack him. But now that he had even gotten the document, these soldiers wouldn't come looking for trouble with him, right?
"Them?"
Seemingly expecting that Jenn would have this question, Daly answered quickly.
"These soldiers are heading to the golden trade route to resolve the trouble there, Mr. Jenn.
But because your matter is more important, we came to Parsus first … "
"Trouble?
What trouble? "
"It's like this …"
At this point, Delly sighed again.
Looking at her frowning face even though she had clearly completed the mission, Zayen suddenly felt that this might be the most troubling thing for her during this period of time.
Since they were going to invade the surface, Jenn naturally had a detailed understanding of the geographical information of the Klein Continent.
The golden trade route was considered the most famous trade route on the Eagle Plateau. It was connected to the Hundred Flowers Port in the west and Boulder City in the east. It could be said to be the passageway connecting the east and west of the entire Klein Continent. Its significance was comparable to the Silk Road on Earth.
The nobles along the way naturally reaped a lot of benefits from it. They couldn't be bothered with border towns like Parsus, but it was a different story if there were problems with the golden trade route. To the nobles, this trade route was the god of wealth.
That was why they did their best to maintain the safety of this trade route.
"… According to the reports from the traveling merchants, Ogres have appeared in the golden trade route recently. They have caused a lot of trouble and many merchants have suffered.
That's why Father sent us to check on the situation. "
"Ogres?"
Hearing this, Zayen could not help but reach out and push up his glasses.
Ogres could be considered as goblins on the surface. Their characteristics were similar to goblins in that they loved to plunder, slaughter, and reproduce in large groups.
But unlike the timid goblins, Ogres were ferocious and unafraid of death.
Besides, they often attacked other races with their large numbers. As the largest force on the continent, humans were naturally the first to bear the brunt of their attacks.
If that was the case, it wasn't hard to understand why the Papwood Family would send their elite private army to deal with this problem.
But …
"How many?"
"I heard there are 200 to 300 of them, maybe even more. Some merchants even said that there are cultists …"
Hearing Daly's answer, Jenn felt even more incredulous.
"You're only bringing a hundred soldiers?"
Jenn couldn't be blamed for finding it strange. He had seen the strength of the soldiers, and they were only one to one and a half stars. They were at most elites.
Ogres were a naturally special race, and the combined strength of the entire race was at least two stars. They could already fight against a country's regular army. If there were more of them, and there were cultists involved, perhaps even the border guards wouldn't be able to deal with them.
Daly was only an intermediate-ranked Wizard, and she wanted to deal with the Ogres with a hundred private soldiers that were only slightly stronger than normal humans?
Did he drink too much or drink too much?
"We're just going to check on the situation …"
Daly obviously understood what Jenn meant. In fact, she had been anxious about this matter recently.
As a Wizard, she knew how powerful the Ogres were.
However, the problem with the nobles was that they would treat them like thieves unless they were at their doorstep.
They didn't even know what Ogres were, and thought they were bandits!
According to Daly's plan, it would be best to mobilize the elite troops of the Parkwood Family and wipe out the Ogres.
However, her suggestion was rejected by many in the family. In the end, Daly had no choice but to compromise and lead a hundred soldiers to check out the situation at the trade route.
She was actually feeling nervous. According to the merchants, if there were really that many Ogres, Daly probably wouldn't be able to return …
As she spoke, Daly looked at Jenn expectantly. She had to admit that the reason why she told Jenn about this was because she had some expectations deep in her heart.
Of course, Zayen would not miss the hidden emotion in Daly's eyes.
"It's too dangerous."
Thinking of this, Zayen immediately said in a low voice.
He sharply sensed that this was a good opportunity for his' disguised identity 'to step onto the stage.
"Miss Daly, the Ogres are very dangerous. If you only rely on these hundred private soldiers, not only will you not be able to complete the mission, your lives will also be in danger."
"Do you have any good ideas, Mr. Jenn?"
Daly's eyes lit up. Wasn't she waiting for Jenn to say this?
Jenn smiled and nodded in response to Daly's question.
"Of course, Miss Daly. If you're willing, Pattilina and I can join this team … Oh, right." Jenn seemed to have recalled something.
"… In fact, my subordinates will be arriving soon. I think we should be able to deal with the Ogres together."
"Subordinates?"
Hearing this, Daly was taken aback.
According to the intelligence the Parkwood Family received, Mr. Jenn didn't have many people around him. Where did he get his subordinates?
