The Game Rune System

Chapter 62: Tonghen Province!

Despite his looks, Tetsuya had managed to have a nice night with a few women who got charmed by his speech. They did it with those jewelries glittering on their naked bodies, learning how to emphasize those parts during intercourse.

Of course, not much technique was needed, but just pure and genuine words that reminded those women of what to do.

In the end, Tetsuya finally had one of the best nights that he missed in the past two years.

Many men would beg to get replaced with him, but Narashi also knew how to move his sword.

Enough of the fun, Tetsuya returned to the adventure with the merchant's carriage.

"We will be soon in the Tonghen Province." Broney said, his head popping off from the carriage. He held his hand above his eyes and looked more like an adventurer rather than wealthy merchant.

His voice brought a smile onto Tetsuya's face, "I see. It will be my first time here." Though Tetsuya didn't expect to see much differences in this province other than different strongholds, Broney proved him otherwise.

He first exclaimed, "Oh, so it's really your first time!" He laughed out loud, then began to explain what made Tonghen Province an important and a little stronger one!

Just the word 'Stronger' piqued Tetsuya's attention!

"On the north, you can see the barren land. This land just brings no results whatsoever! You can't build or rear anything. The same goes for any plantation and runes You can't do anything here as if there is something hidden within."

"But, this barren land has one good value!" Broney was somewhat excited when he said it all loud, "An army can not pass through this land. If we, merchants, want to pass it, then we don't have to spend much resources and can freely go between the provinces."

"However, one strong man is an army itself. There are a lot of strong people on all three sides of this barren land. I don't know where they are from, but I was witness to one shocking situation."

Broney's expressions kept changing, but it froze just now. It froze in horror and utmost fear that took down all his smile, "The leader of Verdict Noble House had bowed before such a man. This leader then ordered everyone to bow. Of course, he forced us to bow with the rune's pressure, but we would do it nonetheless It was so scary. Just what was that man? What are his origins?"

"..." Tetsuya was shocked to hear it!

"Such a person is here! He is keeping an eye on the barren land and also makes sure that the balance is not broken." Broney stopped, giving some time for Tetsuya to think through it.

Now, Tetsuya had only one guess!

People on the level of Red Rose Woman were here!

People from places like that sanctuary were in Tonghen Province!

The reason for this province to be stronger was because of such people keeping an eye on the barren land. To keep an eye on something, one would surely call it a boring task. That was why such masters would pass pointers or even bless runes for people they found amusing and useful!

Tetsuya assumed that the province's strength was ranked higher because of their appearance!

"What's more here?" Tetsuya asked for more, his new acquaintance didn't disappoint him!

"Barren land is one thing, but every stronghold in Tonghen Province opposes each other openly. For years, there has been an open battle between them. I think they have an unspoken rule that in case any external cases appeared, they would team up and deal with it together. It's kinda exciting to think about it, but it makes a lot of things complicated as well."

Broney sighed, then noticed that Tetsuya's expression was similar to his.

Both of them understood that every step could be their last as battles were everywhere! It didn't matter whether the leaders of each stronghold openly challenged each other.

This could sometimes be beneficial, sometimes it could be disadvantageous!

"I will stop here. Thanks for the ride. It's been a good time and I learned a lot." Tetsuya thanked genuinely, his voice sincere and easily influential.

Broney and his daughter also thanked Tetsuya and one could see their faces lit up in pride! It was fine to be proud of their merchant's carriages and fame!

On the other side, Ashley also thanked and happily looked over Tetsuya.

Now, it was time for solo adventure straight to one of the descendants.

-

"Their province is split into three lands with each stronghold controlling everything. If you want to set up foot here, you gotta deal with them." Tetsuya glanced at the small store with an old woman and her daughter working on it.

The difference between this province and his first one was that everything went through the strongest.

For example, The Redemption City's appearance bothered some noble people in the area and not Mystic Academy. This noble's job was to take care of it and have all benefits for himself!

But every business in Tonghen Province had to be opened with the strongest's approval.

Tetsuya wouldn't be able to open anything here because any move would take him straight to the strongest's interrogation room.

"I wonder if Milady Yuhi's descendants have bigger plan in mid or they are just challenging each other?" Looking at the map, Tetsuya let out a faint snicker. Every descendant was in a different stronghold.

If they were truly scheming something, then those descendants got huge balls indeed.

The current Tetsuya could only commend them up.

"If it's only a challenge, then we can only wish them good luck! How can they even take care of the whole stronghold with such monsters lurking around?" Ashley added her few cents while sounding rather rational.

Anyway, Tetsuya had a problem, "If we want to spread the game rune's influence through this province and get the experience from it then we have to meet the strongest straight away Let me ask whose stronghold has a woman as leader or daughter around my age"

"Priorities set right! Haha!" Ashley laughed.

"You know I have a skeptical view of bromance." Tetsuya laughed, "It won't change no matter what. Besides, I might as well risk and expose our game rune to the leader If anything, our game rune should make this barren lands usable and see through it If there is a monster next to it, then there should be something worthy of attention."

"Yes! Good luck." Everything seemed possible with Ashley's cheer!
