Chapter 422 The fifth (9)
Before reaching his destination, Billy had to cross one weird state. Monaris state had eighty percent of its territory comprised of forests. It was as big as Hiloh state, so it was quite something… Another unexpected thing about it was the fact that all the population lived in old and rustic villages, just like the one Billy was born in. So, in simple terms, all the people there were wildlings that lived in tribes. Their neighbors treated them with caution, even though it was rare to find them.
Billy was quite curious about studying them, he was certain that he could learn some useful skills. However, while they lived in peace, they were violent when they find strangers approaching their territory. It was better to keep his distance from them for the time being, even though they didn\'t seem like the type who would go to such lengths to cause problems for him.
"Well, my goal this time is beyond this state, so I can check things hare later," Billy thought.
Although he said that to himself, Billy had to stop when the night fell. After selecting a place to camp, Billy checked the area to confirm that no tribe was nearby. It was hard to believe that they would search for enemies near the beach, but it doesn\'t hurt to be careful. In any case, Billy didn\'t find anything, and he even used his magic to confirm that. So, he went to sleep as soon as possible. However, some unexpected visitors soon appeared to bother him while he was sleeping. It was quite the nerve-wracking scene given that they had multiple arms.

Fortunately, Billy\'s senses made him wake up after he rested for just half an hour with his back against a tree. He didn\'t believe that those octopuses could actually go out of their way to leave the ocean in search of prey… even more so, for a human prey. In any case. several of them left the ocean, so they truly looked forward to a new type of meal. Regardless, Billy didn\'t have time to play, so he buried them alive by using Earth magic. He thought that he would be able to rest after that, but the enemies kept coming at fixed intervals. While that worked for Billy to recover some mana, it was sure troublesome… He didn\'t see many of those monsters during the day on the beaches, but to think that they were nocturnal creatures…
The moon wasn\'t out that night, so Billy had to endure that. In any case, thanks to that, Billy hurried to leave as soon as the sun began to rise again. If things ended up in a fight with the woman, not being fully rested might make a mess of the things, so Billy will look for an inn as soon as he reaches the next state. Despite his newly acquired speed, that only happened pretty late in the day. He had to stop because of numerous obstacles on his way and because he didn\'t know the area ahead very well.
When Billy reached his destination, the Korpal state, the first thing he did was to learn as possible while he looked for an inn. There wasn\'t much information at home about that place because the negotiations between them were nonexistent. Still, it didn\'t take long for Billy to learn. The dungeons in that state were a bit weirder, instead of being underground, they worked like mines and all of them spawned Earth Golems. That certainly was weird, but it worked to focus the economy of that place on a single area.
Although at first, Billy thought that the Earth Golems were basically the same, they had some variations, some were harder because they were incredibly rare but sturdy as hell. The easiest ones were the copper golems, followed by the Iron Golems. The most difficult ones were the Diamond Golems and they worked as dungeon guardians, but they could appear anywhere inside the mines. Despite that, they were highly anticipated by everyone since their cores were made of diamonds… eventually, Billy came to understand that The Korpal was probably the richest that he had visited.
Although there weren\'t many people there that had black hair and green eyes, the people of the first village he found paid him no mind. Even the innkeeper didn\'t look at him twice when Billy asked for a room to stay the night. For a few hours, he stayed on guard and watched the environment with his magic to make sure that nothing unexpected would happen, but eventually, he went to sleep and he wasn\'t bothered even a bit.
As soon as morning came again, Billy headed in a straight line toward the exit of the village. Even so early in the morning, a lot of people were already working in the nearby mines, so Billy had to walk normally for a while. still, once he found himself alone. He used Flash and began to move.
After a couple of hours, Billy finally reached the place that Icarus wrote that he was and Billy frowned when he saw that. The capital of that state was massive and even from a distance, Billy could tell that all the buildings there were pretty new and luxurious. As if that wasn\'t enough, he saw a big castle at the center that was the size of the Galatea temple… That place was quite rich considering that they only had the same type of dungeon, or perhaps that was the reason things were more advanced there, to begin with. In any case, Billy wondered how much money he could make there.
