22 I Want to Change Houses!

At this moment, the same scene was happening in many parts of the world.

"Quick, the Evil God has bestowed us with a gift!"

"Go and find more sacrifices. I want to offer sacrifices to the Evil God!"

All the believers of the Evil God who heard this were extremely excited. Then, they became even more enthusiastic in their desires of offering sacrifices to the Evil God.

…

The next day, James and Elise were eating lunch in their house.

They had been busy the entire night learning the Qil language. After a good night's sleep, they began to replenish their energy.

As for James's job in the tavern, he had naturally resigned long ago.

After all, compared to the commissions from the Adventurer's Mission, the salary of only 50 Brass Coins per month from the tavern was just too little.

Thus, there was no need for James to continue wasting time working in that tavern.

James drooled at the sumptuous dinner on the table.

He did not make today's meal. Instead, Elise had cooked today.

James had always been the one cooking over the past few days.

Thus, he had no idea what Elise's cooking was like.

However, from the looks of it now, her cooking seemed to be rather good.

He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and placed it into his mouth.

It was as if the entire piece of meat had melted and slid down his throat.

All that was left was a rich taste and the best texture!

"This— this— this is too delicious!"

Words alone could not describe this taste. He could only cheer!

"Elise! Your cooking is amazing!"

This wasn't James flattering her. This was the truth.

He felt that if he were to get the most experienced gourmet in the Empire to comment on their cooking…

… and the gourmet ate Elise's food before eating the food cooked by him…

… the best evaluation that the gourmet could give him could be summarised in one word!

That word was "trash"!

"Elise! I've decided that you'll be responsible for the food at home from now on!"

Without any discussion, James gave her this order!

He was naturally willing to eat such delicious food every day.

"As long as Mr. James likes it!"

Elise blushed slightly at James's compliment.

James nodded in satisfaction when he heard this affirmative answer.

Just when he was going to enjoy this wonderful meal…

A huge red circle appeared on the floor.

With just one look, he knew that those cultists were beginning their sacrifice again.

However, what was different from before was that this time, other than the sacrificial array, the food on the table also floated up.

"Don't—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the food floating in the air suddenly fell heavily to the ground.

As for James, he could only look at the ground where the food had been smashed.

The delicious food was no longer edible.

He threw his head back and roared!

"I'm really not the Evil God! Don't give me sacrifices anymore!"

Dong dong dong!

"James, did something happen?"

There was a knock at the door, followed by Mrs. Kulis's question.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Kulis. I just flipped over the table."

James tried to keep his voice level in fear that the landlady would be worried and want to come in for a look.

"He's still so clumsy now. He doesn't care about his own things at all…"

Mrs. Kulis mumbled as she walked away, as if she had believed him.

She seemed to have said something else after that, but James didn't hear it.

He pursed his lips. This old lady was afraid that he would cause problems in her rental apartment.

If not for the fact that he had bought the table and cutlery himself…

That shrewd and stingy old lady who acted like an aristocrat would probably want to rush in directly.

Looking at the mess on the ground…

James made a decision.

It was time to find a new home!

However, the problem was that if he wanted to move, he would have to solve the problem of the sacrificial arrays first.

There might be answers in those books with ominous powers.

Thus, he asked Elise, "Elise, is there any way to get rid of these sacrificial arrays?"

Hearing this, Elise was dumbfounded. Then, she guessed what James was thinking.

"Mr. James, are you thinking of moving?"

"Yeah." James nodded.

"If you want to change the location of the ritual array, there is a way!"

James, who had not been hopeful, was instantly delighted to hear this.

"Is that so? Is it difficult?"

"It wouldn't be too difficult to change locations. I can settle it myself!"

Elise spoke after thinking for a moment.

"If that's the case…"

"You'll be in charge of resolving the problem of the sacrificial arrays. I'll go settle the problem of our new home!"

Rubbing his chin, James made his decision.

Money was essential if they wanted to move homes.

However, it would be too late if he were to complete a mission now.

He wanted to move to a new house by today.

After all, he didn't want to be interrupted by those damned cultists again when he was having his next meal!

Although he didn't have time to accept missions now, it didn't mean that he didn't have money.

He still had a backup source of money.

Those were the sacrificial offerings sent over by those cultists.

The Adventurer's Guild had a special place that purchased these items.

They purchased chaos creatures, books with ominous powers, and all kinds of items with extraordinary powers.

In other words, the items that the cultists sent over could be exchanged for money in the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild gave a fair price for these items as well.

At the very least, their prices were fair compared to those small workshops.

As for why he didn't exchange them for money previously, it was because he wasn't an adventurer back then.

He might be targeted by some evil adventurers if he produced some extraordinary items.

Then, there would be a risk that his house would be exposed as a place for sacrificial arrays.

Especially since he worked in the tavern during the day.

But it was different now. After all, he was now an adventurer.

Wasn't it normal for an adventurer to coincidentally obtain one or two items that contained extraordinary powers during a mission?

After making up his mind, he chose a few relatively cheap extraordinary items with Elise's guidance.

Every time he saw this, he would feel sentimental.

Sure enough, it had been the right choice to keep Elise around.

With the extraordinary items hidden in his pockets, James came to the Adventurer's Hall.

This was always the liveliest place in this shabby city.

Then, he walked through the liveliest hall and came to another place.

This was the place where the Adventurer's Guild specially came to purchase the extraordinary items.

When James got here, he realized that…

This place was far more lively than he had imagined.

Noise filled every corner of this place.
