Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 490: Green Swamp Town after Departure

Two hours later, Ron and others had gathered at the gate of Green Swamp Town.

Since they were only going to rescue people this time, Gillianis did not accompany them. It was still Ron's team of six, plus Shuke who led the way. Ron wrapped himself in a thick cotton robe and turned to look at an open space. There were slightly abnormal fluctuations in the space there. It should be Quest who was protecting it in secret.

In Ron's eyes, Quester came and went without a trace, just like the legendary white-robed assassins with blades hidden in their sleeves, or even more mysterious. But as his research in the field of magic became more and more in-depth, the tricks of this doppelganger monk gradually became not so traceless in his eyes.

Although if they really fought, it would be difficult for Ron to lock on him as he was in the shadows.

"Just over half a year ago, Mr. Ron was still an ordinary person whose surface thoughts I could easily see through..." Quest naturally noticed Ron's gaze, and he couldn't help but shook his head as he was hiding.

Now, even simply hiding in the shadows has become so difficult.

"Everyone is here," Ron looked around. As the weaving preface appeared in front of him, a teleportation array appeared under everyone's feet. "Saving people is the most important thing. I will use the teleportation array to send us directly to the trading post. Since I am not familiar with Fromm Town, in order to avoid unnecessary waste of time, we will choose the safest way."

A wizard's teleportation is not just about chanting a spell. If the caster has no idea where he is about to arrive, the coordinates may easily shift, which can easily have a counterproductive effect when in a hurry. Ron does not want Dean Elden to encounter any accidents due to his negligence.

According to Shuke, the place where they were attacked was quite close to the town of Fromm, so it would not take too much time to go back and forth. According to Ron's estimated speed, it would take three or four days at the latest to return - they needed to transfer at the trading post when they went there, but not when they came back.

As for the time spent on verbal or physical communication, Ron didn't think it would take a whole day to communicate with a tribe of orcs, no matter which method was used.

As the surrounding space was rapidly distorted, accompanied by a faint whistling sound, Ron and others suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving the surrounding townspeople amazed, marveling at the lord's powerful magic power.

"Do you think the adults will go to Yungang?" Evander hugged his shoulders, looking a little worried. "The adults are kind people, they won't just stand by and watch..."

"We have to cross the entire Gobi Desert to get to Yungang. Even the most righteous paladin may not care about this matter." Constance, who was standing beside him, raised her hand to hold her long hair and glanced at this colleague who had changed careers intentionally or unintentionally. "We just need to do our own thing and don't think too much about it."

"Sir Ron will naturally make his own decision."

"Well, you're right, Miss Constance." Evander retracted his gaze. According to the arcane education he received, Ron and the others should have successfully arrived at the trading post. "You go back first. I will help you with some work later. Now I want to take a breath."

"Yungang is in turmoil, and the Holt family is having a hard time keeping itself safe. I feel..."

"You'd better think so." Constance also retracted her gaze and turned away. She was not an adventurer like Ivy who had survived in the wilderness at a young age. In her eyes, things under the eaves were easier to see than things under the tree canopy, even though Ron and Gillianis had never told anyone else about Evander's abnormality. Evander smiled and watched Constance leave. When the half-elf turned around and looked at him again, he even calmly took off his hat to greet her, even though Constance responded by extending two fingers and gesturing between his and her eyes.

That means "I'm watching you."

"This woman's watch... (Holt family swear word)"

As the half-elf walked quickly past the nearby street corner, Ivender's face suddenly darkened, and a word was about to slip out from between his lips, but fortunately he took it back in time and replaced it with an obscure noble complaint.

The masters and young masters cannot easily use foul language like the untouchables here, but there are occasions when they really have something to say and therefore noble families usually develop some special words to express other meanings.

For example, what Evander said at this moment literally meant "pears in winter". Passers-by around him looked curiously at Lord Holt, who was often active in front of people, and thought that the territory would achieve free supply of fruits in winter.

That is a benefit that only a very small number of real "citizens" in big cities in a huge country can hope to enjoy.

"Master, you seem to have lost your composure." Mark appeared behind Ivander at some point, as ordinary as a familiar uncle next door. No one would even look at him a second time. Mark put his arm around Ivander's shoulders and invited him into a small house next to him. This was Mark's temporary residence here.

"What happened? I'm still recuperating these days and haven't paid much attention to what's happening outside." Mark coughed twice. He was also a victim of the previous plague incident, but the strange thing was that although Evandel found a way to get him the potion, he didn't seem to be getting better and he still doesn't feel well today.

Mark explained that he had been making a living at sea for many years and his body was weak inside and he could not withstand such hardship. But Evander knew that there were still many elderly people in Delusion Land who were now very active. Under Ron's "good governance", every family had enough firewood and food. Although this winter was long, it was not enough to bury these elderly people.

Evander was disdainful of this in his heart. In his opinion, civilians who could no longer provide any value should be left to fend for themselves. Giving them symbolic help was already a mercy beyond the law. Ron's actions would only increase his burden. Of course, he never said this even when everyone was in the meeting.

Only those who have nothing to hide are good at pretending to be ghosts. If someone with a ghost jumps out rashly, he might be the one who gets scared to death.

"It's that woman Constance!" Evander snorted coldly, "If Ron hadn't shown any political talent from the beginning, I would have suspected that he deliberately matched me with that woman! She's simply like a believer in the devil!"

"I always feel like my plan has been exposed to her. She always tries to stop me in every way possible! Even when I was trying to insert people into the health system, she set up obstacles everywhere. I just don't understand why she wants to make things difficult for me?!" (End of this chapter)
