Not long after Luluwo handed over the Mad Fire Preacher to the Bed City Guards.

Bed City issued a decree to crack down on evil beliefs, forbidding both propaganda and faith.

The decree was initially intended to curb churches like the Mad Fire God Sect, which were absurd and could indeed bring harm with their faith in Mad Fire.

However, what Count Charon didn't expect was that the people of Bed City knew the decree was because some Divine Man introduced the Mad Fire God Sect, and instead became greatly fascinated by this obviously ridiculous thing. The Mad Fire God Sect quickly became an interesting topic of conversation, popular in the streets and alleys.

The appearance of the decree actually increased the Mad Fire God Sect's notoriety, making Count Charon sweat with embarrassment.

Luckily, the Mad Fire Preacher was already detained, and there were no accomplices of his in Bed City. So even though people were interested in the Mad Fire God Sect's teachings, they had no means of contact.

Truly, what a cause for celebration, what a cause for celebration.

The events surrounding Count Charon spread and became the laughing stock of other places.

Then, people in other places also learned about the existence of the Mad Fire God Sect. Its absurdity even sparked interest elsewhere. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Mad Fire God Sect became like a "meme," spreading furiously from Bed City to the surrounding cities.

From the results, the Mad Fire Preacher's contribution within the Divine Teaching could be counted as the chief general.

However, Luluwo didn't pay attention to the subsequent events. Before Count Charon issued the decree, she had already returned to Scameroon.

"Yanor People really are quick to identify business opportunities."

In Hepa Town, Luluwo looked at the town with a population that had more than doubled, and couldn't help but complain to Leon beside her.

"Discovering business opportunities is a human instinct. How can it be limited to Yanor People alone, making us seem like natural-born merchants?" Leon retorted, "But... there are indeed many people here trying to speculate."

"Veteran Silver Level adventurer teams battling in Sain Ancient City! Guild-certified exploration experts on the team!"

"Selling Rust Monsters; Rust Monsters, the special attack against Steel Giant Puppets!"

"Golden Lion Commerce officially stationed in Hepa Town, offering an opening promotion with discounts starting at 20% off on all goods!"

"Black Eagle Group mercenaries are recruiting new members!"

The shouts, many times noisier than before the turmoil, echoed in Hepa Town's square, standing here for a while could make one feel dizzy from the clamor.

The number of patrol soldiers doubled, but maintaining order seemed to be a struggle. They might need even more manpower.

The rules initially used for small groups visiting Hepa Town were no longer sufficient because...

The number of people arriving at Hepa Town via the Sain Dungeon Teleportation Gate was increasing daily!

Whenever the Sain Dungeon opened a Teleportation Gate somewhere new and a passage was cleared, the masses would flood through, like Terrans multiplying their army, seeking opportunities to speculate and prosper.

You ask how they managed to come over? It's nothing more than defeating Steel Giant Puppets; how can that match people's ambition to get rich!

In combat terms, challenges in the Yanor Kingdom's Royal Capital or Warrior Country are even tougher than Steel Giant Puppets. Amid such conditions, there's a large influx through the Teleportation Gate to new areas. As long as there's a will, there's always a way!

For instance, adventurers have already devised methods to bypass Steel Giant Puppets using Rust Monsters or high-fall escapes. Merchants selling Rust Monsters on the square were catering to this bypass method.

Even if you can't control Rust Monsters yourself, aren't there numerous adventurers and mercenaries available for hire in the market? At worst, look for someone who wants to challenge Steel Giant Puppets but is short of manpower, spending some money to join them might even win the bet on the team succeeding.

As long as the profits are high enough, there will always be people rushing in.

Moreover, challenging the dungeon saves on travel costs and the unknown difficulties spanning thousands of miles. This kind of trade is undeniably a win!

Gathered around the Teleportation Gate in the square are adventurers, merchants, mercenaries, chefs, and people of various identities. These all bring "vitality" to Hepa Town.

Because Scameroon practically lacks valuable adventure resources, like legendary Holy Lands, Undead Tombs, beautiful wonders, or powerful Demon Clans, adventurers coming here definitely aren't intending to start adventures in this war-torn land.

Only a small portion of them are here to take a break and see foreign sights; most are engaged in business—getting paid to help rebel army members defeat Steel Giant Puppets!

"I was actually planning to develop this business myself...." Hevi couldn't help but complain upon knowing this.

The merchants coming explicitly to Hepa Town are truly here with the sole purpose of making money.

Scameroon is ideal now; a Teleportation Gate directly opened in the crucial rear area like an important location for the rebel army. What does that represent?

It means these merchants, without too much worry about safety, can make substantial profits by reselling goods!
