Sam and the team are first taken to a residential area. This area mostly has humans and since the group is also humans, they decided to first show the houses there.

Not all humans are poor in Dwarven territory. There are some wealthy people. At least wealthy enough to not be a normal farmer and do some small business and focusing on his own normal cultivation at the same time without worrying over the resources.

In the town, there are only two restaurants and they mostly sell fresh dishes of vegetables and meat along with some rice-based dishes and flatbreads.

There is another place that has the most business and that is the bakery. They bake bread with wheat and corn and bread of various kinds with the fruits and other products they obtain from the fields and the forests.

Apart from them, the only place that is related to food is a bar that was run by a dwarf. He works there along with a human maid and they only sell booze and some side dishes.

And for some reason, the dwarf is closing down the business and is leaving the town.

The attendant is very respectful to the Middle-aged dwarf as he introduced them.

"Hello, Sir Veer. This person is Sam and these five are his companions. They want to open a tavern in this place and the town head heard that you are closing down the business and would be leaving the town. So, he wanted me to ask if you will be willing to sell this place to them."

The Middle-aged dwarf is in the middle of packing everything with his maid.

He looked at Sam and asked.

"You want to open a tavern?"

"Yes."

He looked at Sam intently for a while and then said to the attendant.

"I need to talk business, you leave this place." The attendant nodded and left the place with a bow.

"What can you offer?"

"I have some metals if you would like it. Apart from that, I do have some local specialties such as herbs and fruits, would you like to take a look?"

Sam once again took some samples and placed them on the table.

Veer looked at the things carefully and even examined some herbs and fruits Sam offered.

While Veer is examining the items, Sam is examining Veer.

One looked and Sam could say what this person is. He is a killer. He might be a soldier, executioner or any other thing, but one thing is common in his profession and that is his killing.

Even the human main, who seemed to be in her early thirties, is also a killer. They have an extremely refined aura of killing and blood on them.

They must have seen a lot of blood in their lives.

"Where are you guys from?" Veer asked.

"We came from forests in the southeast," Sam answered without a hint of hesitation.

"I am asking, where are you truly from, you don't belong to this place."

Sam was stumped for a second and before he knew it, he was enveloped by a sense of pressure, the other party is clearly more powerful. He seemed to be a person at a late stage Transcendent or even consummate realm.

Feeling the pressure, Sam immediately activated his eye technique and checked the energy waves, and confirmed that this man is clearly a consummate realm cultivator, he gestured his friends to take a step back and took all the pressure for himself and took off a strand of hair.

It is one of the five strands of hair from Great sage. He already used two and he is ready to use the third one. But he didn't rashly move, he just looked at him and answered calmly.

"I cannot reveal that. But we came here for a trial."

Veer reduced the pressure and said.

"What kind of trial?"

"We have to survive for at least six months in this place and we would be informed of another location and we have to go there."

"By another location, you mean another realm?"

Sam didn't answer, but he is silently admitting it. Veer thought for a second and said.

"I believe you. I will rent this place to you for six months, not just this, I will rent all my fields to you. You can use them for six months or any time period you want to stay here. But in return, I don't need any money or resources, I want you to do something for me."

"What would that be?"

"Protect this town, no matter the cost."

"This town?" Sam answered with a frown. This is not an easy task. The town is not directly connected to the rest of the dwarven territory directly, it was surrounded by the twenty villages under its control and all the villages are already sacked. There are no supply lines and resources for low-grade wheat at all, this will make it hard for the common folk to survive.

Sam could find a hundred other problems that could come out of this and out of all of them the main thing is if the Minotaur tribe would send super powerful expert.

Sam expressed his worries and Veer said.

"Don't worry, we might be of the banished realm, but we have our rules, the town head is a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator and they wouldn't send any person higher than that cultivation to fight for this town."

"What if I can't save it? I couldn't possibly place the interests of this town over my own personal safety when the time comes."

"I don't expect you to."

Sam went silent for a second and asked a few questions.

"How do you know we are not from here? Since you know that why are you believing us so much? You are leaving the fate of the whole town in our hands. What are you expecting?"

"I know it from your energy. The energy of the people from this world and other worlds will be different. You must have known about the curse since you came here from outside, this is the curse that is easily recognizable once you reach my level.

And you don't have that curse.

As for why I believe you, dwarves are in a great threat. And I know the people who are the cause of that threat. And those people wouldn't work with humans even if they have died like sheep.

It is not entirely believing in you, it is my belief in the people we are facing. You don't have anything to gain from screwing us over. But you do this for me, I would give you something that you couldn't find anywhere else.

In fact, I wanted to find you myself if you didn't come here. After I saw the video, I know that you are not from this place. Do you know why?"

Sam just shook his head.

"Because there is no human tribe in the southwest forests. Not just southwest forests, there is no human tribe in this place.

The tribe that was said to be existing in the forest is not exactly human, they were made to be human by dwarves. So, you can cheat anyone, but not me or other upper echelons."

With that, he took out a token and gave it to Sam.

"If you encounter anything related to the upper echelons of dwarves just show this. I am leaving this place in an outsider's hands because of two reasons. One is the hunch and the second is that the Dwarves are not exactly in a proper state. The towns like this might disappear because of some stubborn fools. I will just take a gamble.

Anyway, since you are here for a trial, this will be more than enough for you to experience. This town is one of the largest producers of Medium grade grains and if you can cultivate the uncultivated field, you can even get an even greater harvest. This place cannot be lost."

With that, he tapped Sam on his shoulder and walked out with his maid.

"I will talk with the town head. You can proceed and do your business. All the procedures will be completed and necessary documents and such will be sent to you."

Sam didn't even have a chance to reply when the elder left. He looked at the rest of his teammates and said with a sigh.

"Seems like we found a place to get the new experience we wanted. We are going to participate in the war with Minotaurs, our aim is to preserve the town and its people. Now dust yourself off and think of what you want to do in this town.

But before that, let us clean up this place."

They went on to clean up the place, rearrange the tables and clear the kitchen, and such.

By evening, when they were almost done the town head came and gave the documents.

"It is already late and currently, the fields of Veer are going through the harvesting procedures. The workers are still working. The attendant will take you there tomorrow and show you around. But I don't know if you would be able to handle it properly"

"Thank you so much."

Sam just nodded in reply.
