The choice of the mermaid queen did not disappoint Pan Long.

He didn't care about the merfolk fighting power, as long as he could convince the merfolk to keep to themselves and not have another dispute with Hamlet, it would be considered a goal.

And the mermaid queen's style is so salty, which can be said to be exactly what he wants.

Sure enough, when he then proposed that "the merfolk and Hamlet town live in peace, and if conditions can be carried out in the future, reciprocal trade can be carried out", the mermaid queen agreed.

The merfolk don't need much for land resources, and Hamlet Town doesn't need much for marine resources, so there is no real conflict between the two sides.

If it weren't for the fact that the old earl wanted the merfolk to help him loot the wealth of the shipwrecks under the sea over the years, the two sides would have had nothing to do with each other at all.

It's easy to convince the merfolk to remain neutral.

Accomplishing this, Pan Long took his leave and returned to the town of Hamlet.

The Count was very pleased with the results of his mission, and did not care at all about the fact that the merfolk did not join the united front.

As a human being, Count Hamlet, though both wise and moral, is not exempt from certain prejudices. In his opinion, the best thing between humans and mermaids is that everyone does not interact with each other for a long time, one is on the shore and the other is in the water, and they live a peaceful life.

As for cooperation or something...... Forget it, don't let some fanatics think that he is colluding with monsters, that is really a big loss!

He explained his thoughts in detail and persuaded Pan Long.

Anyway, the Mermaid Queen wasn't really keen on doing business with Hamlet, and since the Count himself wasn't interested either, it was better to leave it at that.

Maybe in a few years, the social trend has progressed, and the next generation of earls will change their minds?

After solving this problem, Pan Long went to another demon cave alone, known as the "Scarlet Courtyard".

The cave is occupied by female vampires and a large number of converted vampire descendants, and it hides a terrifying curse - thirst.

Once infected with this curse, there is no way to alleviate it other than to drink the "blood brew" doped with vampire blood. But "blood brewing" is limited after all, and without this potion of drinking water to quench thirst, the patient will go crazy and even wither, and eventually turn to ashes.

If only vampires and vampire descendants spread the curse. The terrible thing is that the mosquitoes in the Crimson Courtyard can spread such a curse.

These mosquitoes are not only found inside the labyrinth, but occasionally outside.

In the past month or so, there have been two or three residents and adventurers who have been bitten by this mosquito and have suffered from thirst.

They were currently kept alive on the few blood brews passed down from the old Count, but the situation was terrible - because the blood brew was limited and could only be used in small quantities, and in order to prevent them from being cursed by strenuous activity, the Count had to order them to be locked up and consumed with sleeping pills, leaving them in a drowsy and half-asleep all day.

This is just an expedient measure, and after a long time, even if you curse and don't want people's lives, excessive use of sleeping pills will still kill people.

And if this life is too long, the whole person will be abolished. Even if the curse is lifted at that time, it will only be more breathless than the dead.

So the problem of the Crimson Courtyard and the vampires still needs to be solved after all.

By the way, another large demon cave, the chaotic "Star Farm", does not have this problem. While it may even be more dangerous than the Crimson Courtyard, as long as you don't get involved in it, there's nothing dangerous.

So the Count sent someone to investigate, and built a huge fence to enclose the labyrinth in its entirety.

This fence is not used to stop adventurers, but to warn everyone not to approach.

As for those who want to go in and have an adventure? As long as you don't care if you make it out alive.

Star Farm produces gems called "Star Shards", which are valuable and useful for both decoration and industry. Perhaps the future town of Hamlet will be the core industry here.

Pan Long once suspected that this gem was actually some kind of radioactive substance, but he had already returned all the relevant knowledge to the teacher of the other world. He really couldn't think of how to test it for a while, so he could only tell the Count about this worry, hoping that the Count would come up with a way.

As a result, the Count's reaction was: "The kind of 'radioactive material' you are talking about...... Is it worth the money?"

"It's not a question of whether it's worth the money or not...... It's just, it's dangerous......"

"There are so many dangerous things in the world, and the point is, is it worth it?"

Pan Long thought hard, and then thought of a whole bunch of various allusions.

In the end, all the allusions are summed up in a rising mushroom cloud.

"I think...... It should be worth a lot of money, as long as future generations find its true use......" he said with some uncertainty.

"That's good. The Earl smiled, "If this gem is really the 'radioactive substance' you are talking about, then this place will be a precious mine, wouldn't it be nice?"

Pan Long was speechless and could only sigh deeply.

Fortunately, the Count didn't really want money and death, he asked Pan Long a lot about radioactive materials, and finally decided to make some lead boxes to preserve such dangerous ores.

Regardless of whether or not these "star fragments" are radioactive or not, and no matter how people outside use it, at least in the town of Hamlet, the stone must be kept in a lead box to ensure safety.

Anyway, the output of this thing is very low, a dozen or so lead boxes are enough, and lead, a metal, is not expensive.

I just don't know if in the future, in a few decades and hundreds of years, will the people of this world also find the key to ignite the fire of mass and energy transformation, and whether the star fragments will become the most expensive "gunpowder" in the world, igniting the big fireworks that bring peace......

Pan Long pondered about the Star Farm as he descended the tattered escalator, bypassing a few bends, and then suddenly opened up in front of him, but there was a courtyard that was beyond imagination.

This courtyard is full of vegetation, and it looks like the scenery is not bad. There was just a scarlet mist in it, and there were many swarms of mosquitoes of astonishing size, which looked daunting.

For ordinary adventurers, this place can probably be called a devil's cave.

But for Pan Long, it's nothing.

He smiled, took a deep breath, and let out a deafening roar.

His roar shook the air like thunder. With him as the center, the mist vibrated in circles, forming a shock wave that burst out on all sides. And those mosquitoes were touched by this shock wave, and immediately exploded directly, turning into a pool of blood and falling to the ground.

With a single roar, Pan Long swept away the blood-sucking mosquitoes within a radius of at least a hundred meters.

Then, the roar sounded in the middle of the labyrinth, and I saw that the blood-colored mist in the maze continued to vibrate, becoming thinner and thinner.

Moreover, Pan Long is still tearing down the labyrinth.

He was impatient to walk along the road of ruins and trees, and instead chose to raze the place.

With a punch and a dragon-like energy, the walls collapsed, the vegetation collapsed, and the labyrinth directly turned into flat ground.

In just half an hour, the entire maze was completely bulldozed by him.

At the edge of the labyrinth, he saw a vast enchantment. It was as black as dried blood, and it was red in color, forming a huge curtain of light that enveloped the place.

Pan Long didn't try to destroy the light curtain, and he wasn't sure what the consequences would be if he used this method to destroy the labyrinth.

Anyway...... There is a better and more appropriate way to destroy the labyrinth.

Sure enough, when the labyrinth was razed, he saw a portal standing at the edge of the labyrinth.

Push open the door, and inside is another labyrinth.

"Well, don't you have to kill the keeper of the first labyrinth to open the second labyrinth? Why didn't I see the monster called 'The Baron'?"

Pan Long frowned and muttered to himself.

He struggled to remember for a while, and finally remembered that when he had swept the labyrinth before, it seemed as if he might ...... Ever when a punch knocked down a large area of walls and vegetation, he killed a guy who looked like he was dressed as an aristocrat?

Well, it doesn't matter anyway.

Then this scene was repeated twice.

Pan Long didn't intend to deal with the vampire "Countess" and those transformed vampire nobles, he didn't like these dog officials who oppressed the people's fat and cream, let alone they still fed on people!

And, most importantly, these guys, no matter where they live, will spread curses, give birth to blood-sucking mosquitoes, and spread thirst.

This is really an irreconcilable contradiction.

Therefore, in the process of sweeping the entire labyrinth, he behaved extremely violent and savage, like a wild boar rushing down from the mountain, blindly rampage, until the entire labyrinth was destroyed, and then he could be regarded as stopping.

When the last female vampire, the "Countess", the source of thirst, also fell under his sword, Pan Long shook his head and sighed.

Speaking of which, this female vampire was also pitted by the old earl. It's just that she originally also had the idea of pitting the old earl, and both sides had their own ghosts, but they couldn't talk about who was sorry for whom.

As for the nobles who have become vampires because of this pit couple.

Well, good death!

If they don't die, where is it possible for the current Earl of Hamlet to be free to give a new look to the land?

Anyway, when the nobles face the suffering of the poor, don't they always prevaricate with words like "this is a necessary price", and for the progress of the Hamlet county, their death is also a necessary price!

After destroying all the vampires, the maze trembled violently. Soon, the labyrinth completely collapsed, and Pan Long was standing in the courtyard of the old castle again.

It's just that compared to before, this courtyard is more and more dilapidated, and there are many more dried corpses on the ground.

Those are the nobles who have been transformed into vampires, in fact, they are already dead, but they can still be "alive" as vampires in the cave.

Pan Long didn't clean up the corpses, but directly set a fire and burned them to ashes.

He wasn't sure if the corpses would retain the power of the bloodthirsty curse, but it would be better to destroy them completely.

Just as the last of the dried corpses were reduced to ashes in the flames, the thirsty patients locked in the hospital room opened their eyes.

They felt their hearts suddenly become lighter, and the whole person seemed to be unburdened, and they were no longer weighed down by something intangible. Even when I looked at the things around me, I no longer saw the vague color of blood, and I became normal again.

Moments later, the doctor arrived and examined their bodies to make sure that the scarlet patterns that would grow on their bodies had disappeared completely.

These hapless infected people have finally recovered their health!

The news spread quickly, and everyone was happy. Even the priests who had previously said that "it is better to purify them with flames than to watch them die in such pain, or even turn into monsters," rejoiced that they had recovered.

In any case, burning a big living person to ashes is not a thing that makes people happy.

The time of witch hunting is long gone, and now the wheels of the world's history are gradually moving towards scientific prosperity.

Pan Long returns to Count Hamlet's villa and selectively tells him something about the inside of the Scarlet Courtyard.

The Count did not care about the dissipation of the labyrinth, on the contrary, he was glad that the town had removed a great threat.

According to his idea, a special resource like a labyrinth does not need a lot, one or two are enough. The most important thing is that the risk is safe and controllable, and if he can't do that, he'd rather destroy all the mazes.

Relying on farming and trade is also enough to maintain and develop the territory.

Pan Long naturally agrees with him, which is the key reason why they can work together smoothly.

For the next period of time, Pan Long continued to travel to various labyrinths, looking for those dangerous and powerful monsters, and suppressing or killing them one by one.

Terrifying monsters such as "Pigmen" transformed by evil spells do not need to be discussed, not to mention that they are going to die, and even the labyrinth "Sewer Slum" where they are entrenched will be completely destroyed.

And people such as "necromancer" and "mad prophet" who either have some sanity, or who were originally good people and were persecuted and turned into monsters, he treated them differently.

Several necromancers were suppressed by him, and the clergy prayed daily outside the chamber of the suppression of them, seeking to purify them as soon as possible and let their souls rest in peace.

The mad Prophet was locked in the hospital, and the doctors worked hard to treat him and restore him to the generous old man he once was.

But the results of these things, Pan Long can't wait to see.

He vaguely felt that there was not much spiritual energy stored in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the time he could stay in this world had entered the countdown.

"It seems that the final battle is coming. Before going to bed that night, he looked at the ruined castle on the top of the hill, muttered to himself, and laughed softly.
