Chapter 124: The Rotten Forest (Seeking Recommendations!)

  A new week has begun! Please remember to cast your recommendation votes, everyone! Thank you all!

  ==========================================

  However, after completing the first week's maiden shoot, the next day, the lively scene was nowhere to be found, and most of the adventurers had already left.

  After all, the environment of Heimun is really too bad. In this smelly environment, these people can't even eat their meals, let alone live a healthy life here. Many adventurers have chosen to leave Heimun Town and go elsewhere to find opportunities.

  The remaining adventurers were nearly forty, all of whom were low-level adventurers with levels no higher than one or two. They didn't have a strong will to fight and many of them probably just wanted to find a stable life first before considering other issues.

  Victor selected thirty-seven adventurers from the remaining ones and formed them into four teams. Two teams led by Irene and Martak patrolled the defenses of Haimen Town and did some engineering work to repair the walls of Haimen. The other two teams were led by Lin Ya and Xi Lang, who went to the nearby Stinky Forest to explore the surrounding terrain and distribution of resources.

  Then Victor mobilized the strong labor force in the town to flatten the land, and led that stream of living water into the town from outside, passing through the entire small town. In the central square, a fountain with the blessing of the sun god was built. With the power of sunlight and spring water, the air in the town was washed away bit by bit, and the foul smell in the air also weakened bit by bit.

  After completing this series of tasks, Viktor and Master Ivan directed these laborers to set up a workshop in the Public Works Hall, specializing in the production of therapeutic agents.

  Yilian stood in the town square, collecting some simple materials from the townspeople's transactions while arranging for new recruits of the guard team to inspect the townspeople's drinking water, repairing the dilapidated public facilities in the town, and clearing away all the weeds and fungi on the corners of walls and floor tiles.

  After Victor and his party of adventurers became the new mayor of Heim, Heim seemed to have regained some vitality. All the townspeople had jobs, although they were just minor tasks such as gathering herbs, sorting, grinding, etc., but everything was moving again.

  In the house at the core, the door was released with a warning spell, inside were mage Ivan, holy warrior Victor, and warrior Martak.

  All that was visible in the room was a set of experimental equipment, Victor shaking a pulley with a wide conveyor belt on it, allowing some kind of green powder to fall evenly into a large vat below, while Martak held a huge stirring rod and stirred vigorously inside.

  The wizard Ivan was on the other side, constantly reciting incantations, as if a transparent silver thread connected him to the large vat. As magic was infused into it, the potion in the vat seemed to have its own life, swirling around and even stretching out green tentacles.

  Soon, Victor had shaken all the powder from his hands into the large vat. He stopped and devoted himself to praying to the sun god, then cast three blessing spells on the vat.

  After the three blessings ended, Ivan's spell also stopped, and the medicine water in the large jar slowly calmed down, showing a beautiful color similar to pure jade, but with a very unpleasant smell.

  Viktor frowned and asked, "Ivan, can't you change this flavor a bit?"

  Ivan sighed and said, "The power of magic is also limited to this. Why don't you buy some lemons and squeeze them in?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Victor, and the two burst out laughing. Victor was a loud and unrestrained laughter, while Ivan had a very profound and pleasant smile.

  This batch of medicinal water, in just three days, can already fill at least a hundred treatment potions. At this production speed, their production line will soon be able to expand again, and the economy and population of Haimen Town will also recover. By then, this small town can smoothly become their territory!

  Perhaps this is where they will rise to become great nobles and heroes in the future!

  In the wilderness near Heimtown, deep in the stench forest, a group of adventurers cautiously explored an ancient elven ruin.

  They were commissioned by a certain mage tower's mages to come here and find any written records. Whether it was paper, sheepskin scrolls, Beili tree leaves or memory crystals, or even stone rubbings, as long as they were written records, they could get rewards. The more important the content of the written records, the more generous the reward would be.

  Because they were close to Heim, the adventurer party stayed in Heim for a few days prior and happened to witness an auction of a week's worth of healing potions.

  With a try-it-out attitude, the party also spent 5 gold coins to buy ten healing potions and put them in their backpacks. After that, they left the town of Heimun and came to the Rotten Forest.

  They soon bypassed the checkpoint and sneaked to the edge of the ruins.

  The forest of Mirkwood where the town of Heimern is located was once an elven realm, a small part of the Kosomann Forest. The Kosomann Forest in turn was the location of the last Elven kingdom on the continent.

  Because the corpse of the god of corruption had passed through here, the environment on the edge of this forest was extremely deteriorated, and even the elves could not survive here, and they moved away from the edge of this forest one after another.

  Even so, the Elf King's Court would still send out patrol teams from time to time to inspect the situation in this area. So these adventurers would also avoid these elf teams and head towards the ruins.

  This ruin is said to be an old city of the ancient elves, for some unknown reason this city was abandoned and hidden in the forest, further polluted by the corpse of the god of decay, turning it into a paradise for mutant creatures.

  After several twists and turns without incident, the small team arrived at the edge of this abandoned city.

  After a brief rest, they drank some water and ate some food. They casually dug a hole to bury the remaining debris, took out various weapons and tools for exploration, and headed into the abandoned city.

  After entering the city, they don't go to those particularly narrow places, but instead go to more spacious places, especially the Elf Temple. Generally speaking, there are more places with recorded texts here, and they will also be more valuable.

  After copying many ancient elven scripts, they had used up all their prepared materials and came out of the abandoned city, ready to head back.

  When they left the abandoned city, they found a group of mutated forest wolves rummaging through their buried food scraps. As soon as they saw the pack of mutated wolves, the wolves also discovered them.

  The average level of this adventure team is only around 3rd level, and the total number is only seven people. The mutated wolf pack in front of them has at least more than twenty wolves.

  Only by carefully forming a phalanx and making a gradual retreat can we hold out until we reach the nearby town of Heimern.

  The adventure team made such a decision in an instant and then firmly executed it.
