The old store manager, who retired early from the mercenary career of going south and north, is no longer the active swordsman peak mercenary when he was young, with the continuous growth of age, the sequelae of the secret injuries and dark diseases that were buried when he was young and did not pay much attention to the sequelae of improper handling also began to emerge one by one, plaguing his ordinary life, and his strength has declined sharply, in addition to the various experiences still retained, from time to time the pain is so that the whole body does not seem to belong to his own body, so that he can not exert the original strength of the eleventh。

Fortunately, he knew how to forbear and make good connections, his popularity was still good when he was young, and his character was okay, and the most important thing was that compared with most of the other mercenaries who just wanted to mess around and waste their youth, he recognized the limit of his psychological endurance earlier, and deeply understood that he was not a big man's qualifications, so he began to plan for his future life, or retirement life.

In addition to earning a few buckets of money, he also successfully got acquainted with a lot of contacts from all walks of life who have not yet "taken off".

And this small bar in the small village on the edge of the royal city is his masterpiece for decades, and finding a wife who can live does not mean how beautiful and moving she is, but only sees that her family runs an inconspicuous small tavern, and has been local for several generations, and he himself used all his wealth and connections to invite Master Dean of the Wizards' Guild to specially arrange a magic array for his bar that can instantly calm disputes.

After all, in the gray industry of bars, in addition to the connections of the boss and shareholders, commonly known as "black/white background", security measures are the most important part, if the security force is not up to the mark, and the people who come to drink are easy to be beaten to death, then who would want to patronize such a "dangerous place"?!

And if it weren't for the fact that the old store manager had a close relationship with Master Dean, who was only a junior apprentice at the time, when he was a mercenary, how could he still be invited to get time is money with his own crickets of thousands and less than 10,000 gold coins. With the help of the mage master who has the knowledge and power, after all, even in the Rizer continent, the consumption structure is not the same as that of the modern earth, but in terms of purchasing power alone, 10,000 gold coins are only worth 1 million red-shirted fish, and the magician who has the ability to add a magic array to the building is equivalent to a design and construction team led by a senior engineer.

And this function of the old store manager is equivalent to building an emergency "brake" device in the bar, even if it is not easy to use on weekdays, but it is enough to deter some small nights, and when the conflict is really irrepressible, it may be able to delay the arrival of the village militia.

(After all, in small border villages, the kingdom garrison will only come to patrol and patrol regularly, or be on guard for a period of time, and there is no army stationed for a long time to maintain law and order, and there are only village administrators composed of villagers...... ）

Besides, even if he encountered a powerful person who couldn't be suppressed by the magic array, when he saw that there was a magic array that was clearly specially designed in this small bar, he had to take care of the mage friend that the bar owner knew, and he also made a big circle to pull this tiger skin.

Although it has not been on the continent of Rizer, the "Theory of Six Degrees of Space", which describes the interpersonal relationship, objectively exists in every universe, every planet, and every world, and after the strong man who wants to make trouble is "calmed" by the magic array, it is inevitable to think that the mage who arranged this magic array may be an acquaintance with the old store manager, even if the person the store manager knows is not a strong person, but it is inevitable that he will also know some strong friends, so the fox fake tiger is still very good in the old store manager.

......

The bar manager took out an old piece of parchment from the bottom of the drawer, faced the magic array that had just placed the magic core, and slowly recited a long and awkward spell, luring his weak mental power to communicate and activate the magic array in front of him.

The light blue shimmer started from the relatively expensive magic core and began to spread rapidly along the continuous lines of the magic array to the outer layer, and in just one minute, the blue light "lit up" the magic array that wrapped the entire tavern, and the magic core was also shattered at the last moment as the energy was completely exhausted, and the magic array was immediately activated.

Of course, the price of activating a magic array before the "revision" of the magic array is not low, and at least 10 magic cores need to be installed in order to have a good effect, and now because the royal city of Tessali has built a "big water ball", the small villages around it not only get various benefits of water, but the use of water magic that needs to communicate with the water element world is far more than ten times the energy saving expected by "twice the result with half the effort"!

Therefore, although the current old store manager has no strength in his own strength, he is still full of confidence, and he is not timid at all to the mercenary weak chickens in his own territory, and some of them are confident!

After the light flickered, the water vapor began to spread throughout the small bar, and in a moment, the visibility of people in the bar was reduced to a minimum. What is even more surprising is that along with the fog, there is a sudden sharp cooling, and the sudden cooling temperature difference instantly reached about 10 degrees Celsius, and this cold is not like the comfort of suddenly walking into an air-conditioned room on a hot day, but from the skin of the whole body began to pierce the freezing feeling, like falling into an ice cave, as if it was pouring ice water on the heads of those mercenaries who were hot-headed and impulsive after drinking, and they were uncomfortable and sobered up.

The reason why such an effect can be achieved is that the magic array first communicates the water vapor formed by the magic water element in the "big water ball", and then uses energy to forcibly convert the barely controllable magic water into water vapor or water mist form, because the physical change process of water from liquid to gaseous state needs to absorb heat, and the faster and larger the conversion, the more heat will be absorbed in an instant, and the colder it will be in this area.

In addition, compared with the use of low-temperature objects to reduce the heat transfer and heat conduction phenomena of high-temperature objects, the mercenaries in the magic array felt that their body temperature was forcibly lowered a little, and the injured and weak fallen mercenaries or His Royal Highness Wells, who had an ordinary or even weak physique, immediately felt dizzy, and the mercenaries with better physique also felt uncomfortable for a while, and they all stopped attacking and fighting one after another......
