I’m Not an Evil God! Novel - Chapter 33 - Coveted by Others!
“Hello, sir, that will be a total of 2 Gold Coins and 19 Silver Coins!”
The maid smiled as she packed everything and handed the package respectfully to James.
She also conveniently mentioned the price of the items.
In the 10 years she had worked at the Adventurer’s Guild, this was the first time she had seen someone so generous.
He could buy so many things at once.
Furthermore, he was only a Level 5 Silver adventurer.

One must know that a single Silver Coin was enough for an adult in a slum to live a rather “extravagant” life.
It would be enough to support them for half a month.
Meanwhile, two Gold Coins were equivalent to 200 Silver Coins, which was equivalent to seven to eight years of living expenses for an ordinary person.
Nobody in Saint Laurent City had been so impressive before.
This seemingly young man was at most Level 5 Silver adventurer, yet he had such deep wealth.
He must be a young master from some family.
If she could become his woman, she wouldn’t have to be a maid here anymore.
At the thought of this, the maid could not help but smile charmingly.
She looked at James with her big watery eyes. The hint in her eyes was very obvious.
If James wanted to, he could sleep with this maid tonight.
However, he ignored the maid’s hint and simply paid the bill.
“Alright! I’ll pay you three Gold Coins!”
In reality, the tools involved in refining potions did not cost so much.
However, in order to prevent anyone from guessing that he had an alchemist, he intentionally bought a bunch of unrelated items.
Meanwhile, he hid what he really wanted to buy among the other things.
This way, the chances of others guessing that he had an alchemist would be greatly reduced.
Given the rarity of alchemists, even though it was impossible for anyone to determine that he had an alchemist just by looking at the items he had bought…
He still did so to prevent any accidents.
This had been his habit for many years.
If he had not been cautious, he would have been swallowed by those “jackals” in the slums when he was young.
How could he have survived to this day?
After paying three Gold Coins, James took all the tools and his change before walking out of the Adventurers Guild.
Everyone looked at him with a mysterious gaze as he walked out of the Adventurer’s Guild.
In particular, three adventurers looked at each other. Then, they nodded and chased after James.
Meanwhile, several other experienced adventurers sighed.
“It looks like that lad is going to be in trouble!”
Beside him, a young adventurer asked curiously, “What’s going on?”
Some veteran adventurers explained to him.
“If you want to live safely in Saint Laurent City, the first thing you must remember is to hide yourself!”
“Don’t let others know how much money you’ve earned and how powerful you are!”
“It would be a disaster if you are not powerful but rich!”
“Those three adventurers who just walked out must have their eyes on the young man who just bought the tools!”
At this point, someone exclaimed, “I know the three of them. They have a bad reputation among adventurers and like to rob others!”
“However, they are very strong. The leader of the three-man team is a Level 1 Silver expert!”
“I was robbed by that three-man team before! But that young man is even weaker than me. He’s definitely going to suffer!”
A Level 3 Silver adventurer said hatefully.
“Sigh…”
Some old adventurers sighed.
Powerful adventurers willfully robbed the weak because of their strength.
This was against the laws of the Empire.
If they were caught by the Imperial Judgment Bureau, they would be executed under everyone’s watch.
However, this rule did not apply to Saint Laurent City in many cases.
This was because there was currently no Judgment Bureau in Saint Laurent City.
In fact, there was no Guild of Magic either.
After all, this place was too poor. Thus, most adults went to other cities.
Furthermore, because of the corruption in the Empire, they were too lazy to care about Saint Laurent City, the city with the lowest taxes every year.
As a result, the current Saint Laurent City had almost become a reserve city for the Land of Chaos.
However, although Saint Laurent City was a little chaotic now…
This was good for James.
After all, this chaotic appearance could help him conceal the matter of the sacrificial array.
As long as he hid the sacrificial array and slowly developed it, he would not be afraid even if his identity as the Evil God was exposed one day.
On the way, James suddenly felt three Silver-rank auras tailing him.
In fact, one of them had reached the Level 1 Silver rank.
This meant that this person was only one level away from the Gold rank.
Furrowing his eyebrows, James chose a fork in the road that took him longer to reach home.
There were many remote alleys on that road.
These people were engaging in a shady and illegal business.
The three adventurers who had followed James from the Adventurers Guild saw the path he had chosen and beamed with joy.
“Good fellow. He intentionally chose to walk through a small alley to make it inconvenient for us!”
“Let’s go!”
…
James walked into a dark alley that was close to the slums.
It was a place he’d been to often before. Thus, he knew it well.
No one dared to walk through this place for a very long time as there were frequent robberies in this small alley.
Later on, since there was no one here, robbers did not come either.
As time passed, the alley was almost deserted.
Thus, no one would notice if he killed people here.
James turned around and smiled at a certain shadow. “The three of you have been following me for such a long time. Shouldn’t you come out?”
“Heh heh, I didn’t think that a Level 5 Silver brat like you actually had the ability to detect us!”
“Indeed, to be able to have so much money, he does have some capabilities!”
“But…”
“You’re really unlucky to have met us three brothers today!”
Three people appeared as these words were spoken.
These three people were the ones who had targeted James at the Adventurer’s Guild.
Since they had been discovered, they decided to simply come out.
Moreover, they had originally planned to take action here.
As a rather famous holy land of robbery in Saint Laurent City, they had also fought here in the past.
“Kid, hand over all your money. The three of us might let you off if you do so!”
The eldest of the three crossed his arms and looked at James as he spoke.
Even though James had the strength of a Level 5 Silver adventurer, the eldest of the three did not take him seriously at all.
After all, he had three people on his side. Furthermore, every one of them was an adventurer who was stronger than James.
The only thing he was afraid of was the powerful person that might be supporting James.
If possible, he also wanted James to be sensible.
If James just handed over the money, he would be able to survive.
Otherwise…
They would simply kill him and take his money!
