Chapter Ninety-Three: Changes in the Village of Yod
Green soon returned home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info And the housekeeper Farier also rushed back from the store after hearing that Green was back.
"Master, this is the ledger of your absence." In the study, Farier respectfully handed over a few ledgers.
Greene: "Just tell me about my family's financial situation during this time." ”
"Okay. During your absence, I rented out all the shops and plots at the price you set, and built a 'water bar' for mages and scholars......"
The housekeeper quickly gave Green a general overview of the situation in the house. Although the income is not low, but the cost is also a lot, in order to completely build the labyrinth square area into the commercial center of the town according to Green's instructions, the land rent and ticket income are basically smashed in, barely to break even.
"Hmm. I know. Has anything changed in terms of mazes lately? After listening to the housekeeper's introduction, Green began to ask the housekeeper about the maze.
"The maze hasn't changed much. In addition to the strategy route you posted, master, there are two other strategy routes that have been discovered, both of which are of the type of continuous entry and exit in one gate......"
The strategy of the El Dorado Labyrinth is very difficult, because the portals in the maze are all one-way, and you don't know what the other side is going on until you walk in, and once you enter, you can't turn back.
Therefore, although it has been more than half a year since the labyrinth of El Dorado was discovered, very few people have successfully come out of the labyrinth, but there are nearly a thousand mercenaries, adventurers and even armies who have died in the labyrinth! In particular, the annihilation of the Black Rose Legion a few months ago was a wake-up call for all those who tried to challenge the labyrinth.
“…… At that time, many mercenaries and adventurers gave up exploring the labyrinth, and everyone dared to take the route you found out. It wasn't until two months ago that two Lisbon mages came to town that things changed......"
"The mage of Lisbon?" Green remembered two of his colleagues, "I see. A Lisbon expert. ”
Under the introduction of the housekeeper Falier, Green learned that the two mages had analyzed and studied the one-way portals in many ways.
The easiest way to do this is to determine what's going on either side of the portal through an arcane orb (minion) that moves back and forth like a boomerang. As long as the memory orb (minion) is able to escape from a certain "door", then if you add a camera function to the orb, you will basically be able to successfully obtain a situation on a route.
Simple, brutal hacking, but very useful.
In this way, the two mages had a lot of information about the labyrinth, and the two mazes that were successfully attacked were "intelligence gathered" in this way, and then led and attacked by the mages.
Greene: "Which two routes are they working on?" ”
"Sorry, master. All the people involved in the strategy have signed a confidentiality agreement, so no one knows how they came out except for the two mages and the people involved in the strategy. ”
Green raised his eyebrows: "Well, it's indeed a mage's style. ”
While the spells they use in intelligence gathering are not advanced, not all mages are able to master them. If nothing else, a small arcane orb that can move back and forth according to a fixed AI is enough to make more than ninety percent of mages confused - it is almost impossible for ordinary mages to have such useless spells in their spell books, and it is possible that such spells may be in the collection of large "academic" mage organizations such as the Great Library of Lisbon.
Now that he has found the means to gather intelligence, Green estimates that it will be a matter of time before those two mages completely attack the labyrinth. That's not good news for Green.
Green: "Looks like I'm going to have to get some fuel up and can't let them take advantage of everything." ”
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the study.
Greene: "Come in." ”
The door to the study opened, and Shivina poked her head out from the outside: "Green, the village chief is coming for you." ”
Xiwena had already changed out of her combat outfit at this time and put on a comfortable maid outfit, and the plump breasts on her chest made the chest of the maid outfit bulge high, which looked quite conspicuous, and people couldn't help but want to pinch it and rub it.
"The village chief?" Green was slightly stunned, "Please ask him to sit in the living room for a while, and I'll go down immediately." ”
"Okay." Shivina nodded and stepped back.
"What's the matter with the village chief coming to me?" Green asked the housekeeper.
"Perhaps...... It's about mage management, right? Farier said uncertainly, "Recently, there have been many mercenaries and adventurers in the town, as well as mages and scholars. Every now and then, they make up some incidents, and the mercenaries in charge of policing have nothing to do with them. ”
Green touched his chin: "I see......"
It is also a silver rank, and the status of a mage and scholar is much higher than that of a mercenary and an adventurer. This so-called "high status" is not only reflected in social status, but also in economy and strength.
There is only one mercenary group in the village to act as a security team, but the strength of those mages and scholars is not weak, and at the same time, they basically hire an adventure team or even directly hire a mercenary group to serve themselves! In addition, those mages and scholars themselves look down on the "country fools", so once the mages make any trouble, the security team will have a lot of headaches.
After thinking for a moment, Green walked downstairs.
In the living room downstairs, the village chief was sitting on the sofa with a worried face, and his hair seemed to be a lot grayer.
"Village Chief Dilan, your anxious appearance now is a little inconsistent with the legendary 'Cunning Fox'." Green joked.
"No matter how cunning the fox is, it will have a headache when it encounters an unreasonable dragon." The old village chief sighed, "Master Green, you're finally back. It's really sad for me to be away from you. ”
Green sat down on the sofa, glanced at the black tea in front of the old village chief, turned to Xiwena who was waiting beside him, and ordered, "Bring me a cup of black tea too." ”
"Okay." Sylvana obediently turned around and went to help Green get the tea.
"Did something happen?" Green asked the village chief.
"That's right. Two months ago, weren't there two Lisbon mages in the village? Those two mages are simply insane! Especially the summoner named Xia Sulu, who said that the portal building was asymmetrical and not beautiful, so he demolished the house! Also, that Mercado isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either......"
The old village chief began to spit bitter water on Grimm.
Hearing the old village chief's complaint, Green's expression couldn't help but become subtle.
The professor from Lisbon has been tossing and turning for two months. One is symmetrical obsessive-compulsive and has to demolish the building, and the other is inspired to pick up chalk and scribble everywhere, and smash the portal with attack spells...... Of course, in their words, those are for research.
Lisbon is a country of mages, and the status of mages is very high, so mages are very casual when conducting research, and they don't care about their influence around them at all. But there aren't many of them who are casual enough to do so.
“…… But you can't demolish people's houses! The old village chief snorted and cried.
