Chapter 80: Reaching a Consensus
Count Hamlet and Pan Long talked at length, and finally they came to a plan.
This plan is generally not much different from the plot when Pan Long first played the game, that is, gradually establish a stronghold in the labyrinth, and take turns by relatively reliable or those adventurers who cherish their lives to ensure that the stored materials are not destroyed by the monsters in the labyrinth.
With these strongholds, adventurers can explore the labyrinth much faster and safer.
This is something that Count Hamlet has wanted to do for a long time, but he has always had a weak heart.
Establishing a stronghold in a dark labyrinth is not easy, requiring first powerful relics to dispel evil, then a never-extinguishing bonfire to dispel the darkness, and finally a strong guard against monsters that may come to attack.
He had holy relics, and a bonfire, which could constantly transport firewood, but he had never been able to solve the problem of the guardians.
In the dark labyrinth, monsters can move freely. Although they usually run around aimlessly, if led by someone, it is easy to organize a large army of monsters to launch an attack on the underground stronghold.
On the other hand, Hamlet Town had no way to find the main force of the Monster Legion in advance and exterminate it.
This means that they can only be beaten passively, and they will even be attacked by the monsters who deliberately look for a weak defense to attack.
Count Hamlet thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't solve this problem.
But the appearance of Pan Long has solved this most difficult problem.
Pan Long can see in the dark, he is also completely unafraid of the evil aura and pressure that permeates the labyrinth, plus his force is extremely powerful, one person is enough to sweep the labyrinth. As long as he runs to the maze from time to time to sweep around a few times, the monsters don't even want to huddle, and even those powerful demons who can control the monsters don't dare to show their heads - if they come out, they will die.
With his help, Count Hamlet's long-awaited plan can finally be implemented!
Pan Long's plan was more radical than Count Hamlet's, and he believed that it was not enough to simply establish a stronghold in the underground ruins. Hamlet should take the initiative and establish a stronghold in the wilderness leading to the outside world, and sweep away the thieves who roam the wilderness in order to stabilize Hamlet's connection with the outside world.
"No matter how many demons there are in the labyrinth of the town, they can't resist the endless thirst for wealth of adventurers all over the world. Pan Long explained his plan, "So, as long as the transportation to the outside world can be facilitated, the number of adventurers will increase in large numbers." There are a number of demons, and so do we. In terms of numbers, can we humans still lose to demons?"
Strictly speaking, this plan is actually a bit brutal - it means that the adventurers will be used as consumables to fight the demons in the various mazes to see who is more numerous.
If it had been placed at the beginning of the year, Pan Long would never have made such a plan. But now he is no longer the person he used to be, and after a few years of wandering in the rivers and lakes, he deeply understands the truth that "justice also requires a price".
There is nothing in the world that can be done without hard work, if you feel that the years are quiet, then someone must be sheltering you from the wind and rain.
If he is given enough time, he is confident that he can sweep away the ghosts around Hamlet Town by himself, even if he may not be able to get a few final bosses, at least he can seal off the maze where they are located, and let them shrink into the maze by themselves and slowly accumulate dust.
But he didn't have enough time, less than two months.
Although even if the time is up, if you leave this world, you can still come back in the future. But who knows how long the time of this world will advance the next time they come in?
Over the years, the world he has visited the most is "Sword and Tragedy", where the flow of time is very unstable, and there seems to be no simple formula to apply.
The first time he entered that world, it was at the beginning of the story, the second time he entered more than half a year later, and the time of that world had already passed by two or three years, and the third time he entered a few years later, but less than half a month had passed in that world.
A similar situation exists in the world of "Next Year's Ark", which he has also entered many times.
So Pan Long really can't be sure, if he doesn't solve the problem, the next time he comes back, will he see a thriving adventurer town, or a glamour-ridden and deserted ruins?
Since there is not enough time, there is no way for him to do it alone, so he has to let the people of this world pay more costs, make more sacrifices, and fight with the monsters.
At the very least, their sacrifice was worth it. The sacrifice of each and every one of them is to contribute to the path of eliminating the threat to the world.
Pan Long didn't know if those adventurers would be willing to sacrifice, but if they wanted to accomplish their goal of destroying demons and protecting the world, their sacrifice was necessary.
Of course, it was also arranged by him.
He wouldn't justifiably demand that these people be sacrificed, nor would he be at ease with it, but at least he had a clear conscience.
This is their world, whether it is the reincarnation of the moon god or the scumbag old earl ascending to the god, there will definitely be a catastrophe next, I don't know how many lives will be destroyed.
In order to stop this disaster, Pan Long will do his best, and the people of this world will also do their best.
Everyone is a person who swims in the torrent of fate, but he has more strength, and those ordinary adventurers have less strength; he has the ability to protect himself, but they don't.
That's all.
Maybe one day, he himself will be swallowed up by the torrent of fate, like Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao, the first hero, and finally come to an abrupt end.
At this point, there is actually no difference between everyone.
Looking at his calm gaze, Count Hamlet sighed deeply.
The young earl was very wise, and of course he immediately understood what Pan Long meant.
And his choice, naturally, is only support.
He doesn't have the ability to foresee the future, nor does he have clairvoyance to know what is going on and what the future holds. But he understood that a powerful adventurer like Pan Long would never make a decision for no reason.
Obviously, he can play steadily, but he has to be aggressive, and the only reason is that time is pressing, and he has to be aggressive.
Why is Pan Long pressed for time? He didn't know. But he knew very well that since Pan Long was short of time, he had to make full use of the time that this powerful adventurer lived in Hamlet Town, and he couldn't waste it.
Therefore, even if he wants to use human life to consume demons, he will not object.
And...... He really doesn't really care much about the lives of adventurers.
He's a good guy, there's no doubt about it. But there is no doubt that many of the adventurers in this world are not good people.
He would try to keep the adventurers he looked good at alive, but he didn't mind the death of adventurers who weren't good in the first place.
Even...... If these scumbags can trade their lives for the reduction of the monsters, then they really deserve to die.
"No problem. He said, "Perhaps...... This is also the only chance in a lifetime for those who do anything for money. ”
So, they agreed with each other.
This project, named "Dawn", began here.
