Chapter 343: Chapter 341: The Construction Site Needs Talents Like You!_1 Chapter 343: Chapter 341: The Construction Site Needs Talents Like You!_1 Virtue Knight…

Colin’s gaze lingered on the dawn light flowing over Calder’s body.

He felt an aura similar to that of the “Emblem of the Humility Knight.”

However, the aura was similar, but the abilities were vastly different…

The kind emanating from Warden Calder’s body seemed more suited for combat, allowing that dawn light to bless his body, turning it into something akin to armor.

And compared to before, the opponent’s physical condition had clearly improved by a notch.

Of course, after comparing, Colin felt that there was a slight discrepancy compared to his own progress.

He should still be a bit stronger than the other party.

‘It seems the reward that Helena promised him has been delivered…’ Colin muttered to himself.

As he pondered, he lifted his right palm, gathering a ball of flame which he then gently tugged upward, sending it flying into the air.

The fist-sized flame rapidly expanded as it rose.

In no time, a warm sensation radiating strong warmth enveloped everyone present, quickly healing their spiritual trauma.

“Ah, long time no see.”

Warden Calder, somewhat overweight, looked up at the flame in midair, then stared at Colin with an odd expression, as if he had something to say but didn’t know how to start.

“Do you have any questions?” Colin asked curiously, taking the initiative.

After a moment of thought, Warden Calder ultimately shook his head: “No, forget it, it’s nothing…”

Being versed in the art of slacking, he knew well that sometimes, knowing too much could only complicate matters.

However, even without asking, Colin could roughly guess—

When he had arrived, he used the “Emblem of the Humility Knight” to conceal himself, so the other party was probably curious about the Virtue Knight-like power on him.

Seeing that Calder did not pursue the matter further, Colin didn’t dwell on it either.

“By the way, that large monster that made the noise just now…”

“I’ve taken care of it.”

Colin recalled the scene at that moment; he rushed forward and delivered a “Matchless Strike,” instantly blasting apart more than half of the enemy’s head, then used the “Revolver Contrarian” to finish it off completely.

Though it looked big, its strength wasn’t very great—it was over in a few blows…

However, he had heard that the true horror of the “Catastrophe of the Magic Fog” lay in their numbers. If one truly entered the Mist Disaster’s direct range, creatures of such level would probably be more numerous than mosquitoes by the river.

By then, even if he dispatched them one punch at a time with the “Matchless Strike,” he would not be able to cope.

And hearing Colin’s words, Warden Calder visibly breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good then, if it had escaped and then grown stronger, it would have been troublesome. Once it reaches a certain stage, it would release ‘Magic Fog’ and trigger a new round of disaster.”

“Yeah, so I didn’t give it a chance to escape,” Colin nodded in agreement.

Having been in this world for so long, he had also heard numerous legends and knowledge about these entities…

And at this moment, seeing the conversation between the two had ended, Little Red finally plunged towards Colin.

Her tiny body quivered as she clung tightly to him, not crying, but the fear in her was palpable.

“It’s alright, no need to be afraid now.”

Colin said, smiling as he stroked her little head.

“I’m not afraid, I… I just thought you weren’t coming back,” Little Red said with a hint of a sob and some grievance.

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Colin reassured.

While speaking, he glanced over at Warden Calder’s nephew not far away, alive indeed, but apart from having a left hand, he was almost reduced to a human pig.

“If I had been a bit slower in coming to support, this guy would probably have been dismembered by now.”

Warden Calder likewise turned to look at the child of his old comrade. Thinking about what had happened earlier, he couldn’t help but give his unconscious nephew a light kick on the ground.

“Let’s take him back for now. This time he was injured while helping out with matters in the territory; we’ll provide treatment.”

Colin first had a portion of the “Nano Intellectual Machines” drift towards the other person, seeping into his body to repair the damage.

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I led them here, it’s me who got everyone killed…” Little Red said, lowering her head in self-blame. Underneath her somewhat disheveled hair, her eyes began to redden slightly.

At that moment, Colin could feel that her words were also filled with a certain fear as if she was worried about being driven away because of this.

But before she could finish, Colin placed his hand on Little Red’s slender shoulders.

“Don’t think too much for now. Do you know who those people were?” Colin took the opportunity to ask.

“I… I don’t know. I’ve always had people looking for me as far as I can remember, but a few years ago, they disappeared. I thought… they would never show up again.”

As she spoke, it seemed as if she had made some kind of decision, “But… I guess they…”

“No, wait, don’t say anything. If it’s a major secret, you can tell us after we get back. Don’t mention it here…” Warden Calder abruptly cut her off.

Instinctively, Warden Calder could sense this was definitely a huge problem.

So, without a second thought, he decided not to listen at all…

As long as he didn’t know, even if the “Loyalty-Virtue Knight” arrived, he wouldn’t worry about knowing some shocking secret that might get him killed to keep it silent.

“However, I can tell you one thing, those people probably aren’t cultists, at least not proper cultists, as there are traces of formal knight training in their bodies…” Warden Calder added.

Cultists can be proper or not proper… Colin mumbled in his heart, then spoke,

“Alright, thanks for the warning, let’s head back.”

Having said that, he sensed his surroundings, “Get ready. I’ll take you away from here now. There are still many roaming creatures nearby…”

While speaking, his gaze landed on a young man with a fairly familiar face standing behind.

“You did well, you’re Yeager, right?”

If it hadn’t been for this young man stepping forward just now, Little Red would probably have been injured, or worse, her eyes might have lost control…

“Yes… ‘Bonfire’ Agent, sir.” Yeager nodded, feeling that his identity was already seen through at this moment.

Of course, they didn’t know that from the moment they entered the territory, Colin had already seen through them…

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have assigned them specifically to clear the land for farming.

You must understand, such fields are so tough that not even bulls can easily plow them, and with ordinary people, the efficiency is terribly low. Only these guys, who have something about them, could handle the kind of work even cattle and horses wouldn’t want to do.

“What are your plans moving forward?” Colin asked.

“I want to continue staying in the territory…” Yeager said, “I want to learn some things more deeply…”

He wanted to delve into those thoughts that seemed somewhat out of place in this world.

“Hmm.”

Colin nodded and reached out to pat him on the shoulder,

“Work hard. The fields need people like you who can handle the tough work.”

After speaking, everyone did not delay further, each carrying the wounded and rushing towards the territory…

However, Colin did not follow them, but instead initiated rescues for several other people still under attack by the creatures, aiming to clear all the threats within this large area as much as possible.
