Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Association Establishment
In the marketplace, upon hearing Willa’s words, Enzo smiled and said, “Freya, huh? She certainly won’t forgive me.”

Instantly realizing her mistake, Willa shouted, “You know… Lord Freya?”

It dawned on her that the young man before her was the person Freya had ordered to find!

A flicker of surprise crossed Willa’s face, followed by a freezing realization.

She incredulously stared at the spear piercing through her heart, then heard Enzo’s icy voice, “Kill the other Plata Plain people.”

How could he… kill her!

She was a proud totem warrior!

Willa struggled to comprehend as her life rapidly faded away.

Other members of foreign tribes stood stupefied, caught between panic, paralysis, and a hint of excitement.

At this moment, they all realized one thing… people from Plata Plain could die too!

And now, the sky grew even darker.

Witnessing the chaotic marketplace, Ward stepped forward and called out to everyone, “The Crimson Star Tribe welcomes you all. In celebration, we have prepared a sumptuous dinner and will make some announcements.”

People from many other tribes discussed eagerly, filled with curiosity.

Led by Ward, they moved towards the dining area.

This gathering spot had been specially designated during the marketplace’s construction, filled with standardized tables and chairs, capable of accommodating nearly a thousand diners simultaneously.

Of course, the cost had been substantial.

But compared to the Crimson Star Tribe’s future plans, this expense was negligible.

Members of other tribes like Lester, Gene, and more were once again amazed. So many tables, polished so smooth, all just for dining.

It was difficult for them to understand.

Most shocking of all, dinner was completely free!

Several accompanying members from the Flower Cat Tribe couldn’t resist; the taste of that meat soup from noon still lingered in their mouths. They realized they had made the right choice following Lord Priest this time!

People from Gene’s tribe were visibly excited, albeit swallowing hard.

Especially as baskets of boiled potatoes were brought out, everyone became restless. Following Ward’s order to start, they eagerly grabbed potatoes and began devouring them.

Potatoes were plentiful in the Crimson Star Tribe.

This meal didn’t even make a dent in their warehouse stocks.

However, the impact was profound.

Previously, these tribes had viewed the Crimson Star Tribe with extreme fear. Now, that fear in their eyes had diminished significantly, replaced by a hint of gratitude.

After all, they had endured a long rainy season, leaving them hungry for a long time.

Coupled with the conflict just now in the marketplace, they were now aware of the strength of the Crimson Star Tribe.

After all, as the Giant Bone Wolf Riders captain of the Mpondo Tribe, Willa was no insignificant figure. At least in Plata Plain, Willa was considered to be among the strongest.

But such a person had been effortlessly killed by Enzo.

This brought a sense of security to many tribes.

As the people finished eating, Ward walked up to them and announced, “Next, let’s welcome Lord Enzo!”

Members of the Crimson Star Tribe cheered loudly.

Many from other tribes also excitedly joined in.

At this moment, even tribal priests like Lester couldn’t help but envy. How good would it be if he were also a member of the Crimson Star Tribe?

Amidst the cheers, Enzo’s figure appeared in mid-air.

Specks of light continuously gathered and condensed into an illusionary figure over five meters tall. Against the pitch-black night sky, it appeared exceptionally conspicuous and sacred.

This scene shocked everyone.

They fell to their knees, filled with fear and continuously shouting:

“Deity! It’s the deity’s appearance!”

“Deity, your most loyal followers have finally awaited your arrival!”

“Great deity, I pray for your blessing, hoping the future of our tribe can continue!”

…

Seeing this, Enzo had to speak up, “Quiet!”

Instantly, everyone dared not speak, even their breathing was as light as possible.

Enzo suddenly regretted using the Scepter of the Barren Mountain to create this illusion, but evidently, the effect was sensational, deepening their impression of the Crimson Star Tribe once again.

After a moment, Enzo spoke again, “I am Enzo, priest of the Crimson Star Tribe!”

Upon hearing this, many people looked up, deeply moved.

Members of the Crimson Star Tribe were ecstatic, further affirming that Enzo was indeed a deity.

Enzo continued, “This time, besides establishing this exclusive marketplace in the jungle, there is another important point, which is the establishment of the Adventurer’s Association!”

Adventurer’s Association?

Members of the foreign tribes were puzzled, not understanding what this meant.

Enzo explained, “The Adventurer’s Association allows everyone to register as adventurers. Once you become an adventurer, you can undertake various tasks, including but not limited to farming, pottery and ironware making, transporting goods, and combat… By completing these tasks, you can earn substantial rewards, which is our Crimson Star currency. With this currency, you can purchase various goods. These goods are yours to handle independently, whether for personal use or to bring back to your tribe.”

With those words spoken, silence fell over everyone.

They were completely stunned, thinking they had misheard.

It wasn’t until someone couldn’t resist asking, “Lord Enzo, can we really become adventurers, earn money to buy food, and bring it back to our tribes?”

Enzo affirmed confidently, “Absolutely!”

He continued, “Furthermore, to promote the development of numerous tribes in the jungle, the Crimson Star Tribe will open up limited purchasing rights for some special items. However, negotiations will be required with tribal priests.”

This statement sent people from other tribes into even greater excitement.

In the marketplace shops, they had seen the pure white salt, exquisite pottery, and sharp iron machetes…rare items indeed in the jungle.

After finishing his announcement, Enzo’s illusion vanished.

And the entire area erupted in cheers.

In the two-story bamboo building.

Enzo shook his head to dispel discomfort, only to hear Amy teasing him, “Enzo, you were quite imposing just now! Personally, I think you shouldn’t have used the scepter. Who knows if there might be other side effects.”

Detecting Amy’s concern beneath her words, Enzo didn’t take offense.

He said , “Amy, I’m fine.”

Jessica, standing nearby, curiously pleaded, “Enzo, could you teach me that?”

Amy tousled Jessica’s silver hair and chuckled, “Jessica, that’s something you won’t learn. Besides, the tribe only has five iron pots, and you took one to the marketplace to cook meat soup.”

Jessica argued logically, “Enzo agreed to it.”

The two playfully bantered, creating a warm atmosphere.

They intentionally avoided mentioning Willa’s incident at the marketplace earlier, not wanting to trouble Enzo during this celebration. However, Enzo took the initiative to reassure Amy, “Don’t worry, Amy. Once the Adventurer’s Association is established, Plata Plain won’t pose a threat anymore. In fact, with a little guidance, we might even incite some chaos among them.”

“Really?” Amy asked.

Enzo nodded, though he didn’t specify his plans outright.

Despite not learning how to tame the Giant Bone Wolf from Willa, Enzo was somewhat disappointed. However, the good news hinted at the strength of the Mpondo Tribe—they wouldn’t be a match for the Crimson Star Tribe.

Moreover, Enzo felt it was time to take a more proactive approach rather than remain passive.

So, he handed a bamboo slip marked with adventurer tasks to Amy, detailing the mission information.

[Mission: Eliminate the Mpondo Tribe of Plata Plain (Extreme Danger!)]

[Reward: For each Mpondo Tribe member killed, the adventurer who brings back the tooth necklace worn by the member can receive 100 copper coins as reward. The the adventurer are eligible for the Power Domination Blessing after accumulating ten kills. Potential Excitation after thirty kills, and promotion to tribe’s warrior after seventy kills!]

This mission was Enzo’s grand gift to everyone.

From Enzo’s perspective, the tribes of Plata Plain were not unbeatable; they were simply accustomed to jungle tribes retreating and feared conflict with Plata Plain.

This behavior was laughable .

Because Plata Plain wouldn’t stop attacking just because the jungle tribes retreated.

Between them, there was an unending struggle. Only one side would cease fighting once the other was annihilated.

Enzo didn’t want the jungle tribes to disappear, so he had to eliminate Plata Plain first.

…

Meanwhile, Ward was sweating profusely from his busy schedule.

People from other tribes were coming to him, requesting to join the Adventurer’s Association and take on tasks.

Even though he quickly found a few clever-minded tribal members to help with reception duties after Enzo’s meeting, he was still overwhelmed.

In desperation, Ward gathered these people together .

Then he announced to all the people around at the same time, “I understand everyone’s desire to join the association. I will designate a reception area near the marketplace for the association. This area will share the current work tasks released by the Crimson Star Tribe. Anyone wishing to participate in these tasks needs to join the Adventurer’s Association under the sponsorship of their respective tribal priest.”

All the people from the various tribes took note.

Seeing that many still had questions, Ward’s expression changed, and he added hastily, “Any other questions can be addressed once the Adventurer’s Association reception area is established.”

With that, he quickly departed.

The people from the other tribes started discussing and planning. They talked about sending idle members from their tribes to participate in the work or bringing unused items from their tribes to sell.

The discussions continued late into the night.

Only when they couldn’t resist sleep any longer did they finally end their discussions and find somewhat flat spots to sleep.

Despite being in the Crimson Star Tribe’s camp, they slept soundly.

The next day, these people reluctantly returned home.

However, a bigger storm was brewing.
