Chapter 37: A New Era
As a result of the negative feedback, there are repeated scripts of [flying monsters attack, adventurers run away with valuable goods, the town is destroyed, flying monsters leave, adventurers return with goods, and the town is hastily rebuilt], and the current town of Rivera is already the 334th generation.
However, the adventurers did not regard the town of Rivera as their real home, but only a place to collect money in the midst of wealth and danger, and destruction and reconstruction were not a matter at all. Due to this peculiarity, almost all the houses in the town of Rivera are shops, weapon shops, prop shops, inns, taverns, and there is not a single pure dwelling.
In terms of commercial activity, Rivera Town is quite prosperous, after all, it is the best resting spot for adventurers who can't afford to make it to the 17th floor, but don't have the ability to reach the next safe floor, where they can recuperate for a few days before exploring, which is far more efficient than returning to the surface, and there will definitely be no shortage of customers.
But the atmosphere in the town is really not very good, safety is only relative, and adventurers clearly understand that this is still a dungeon, and everyone will not easily leave their armor and weapons, creating a strange atmosphere of slaughter.
"No wonder you don't want to stay overnight......" Shrouded in a crystal firmament, Lyle and his party walked through the narrow and intricate rocky alleys of the town, and soon learned its best features.
One word, expensive!
The price level of Olari is already the highest in the mainland, and the town of Rivera has to multiply on this basis, and it is already a shameless ripper.
The elven magician, as the deputy head of the regiment, was troubled by this more than once: "The price level of the next safe floor is even more exaggerated, but sometimes the money that should be spent cannot be saved, and it is always impossible to let the companions go to the battlefield tired and hungry." β
"No one who can come to the 18th floor will be a low-level adventurer, and with the earning power of a high-level adventurer, they can always afford this price." Lyle laughed.
The elven magician nodded helplessly: "We all understand the truth, but the hard-earned money obtained by fighting for our lives is given to these profiteers like this, and it is difficult to cross the hurdle in my mood." β
"Why don't you make the money yourself? A member of the end of the adventurer's career, I think it's a good fit for this job. Lyle put away his smile and became a little more serious.
Although as the deputy head of the regiment, he shouldered some operational tasks and seemed to be calmer and more experienced than others, but the elven mage was still an adventurer in his bones, and rarely thought about the general direction of the development of the family, and was stunned before replying: "Indeed, especially the companions who have suffered heavy losses in the battle and are difficult to return to the front line...... Unfortunately, running a shop isn't Lord Loki's style. β
Loki was originally a vicious personality that would provoke the gods to fight for fun, but as the clan game progressed, her personality gradually became gentler - and even so, there were parts that could not be changed no matter what.
"Then it can't be helped." It is the main god who is in charge of the direction of the clan's progress, and even the head of the clan is just a working boy, let alone the deputy head of the regiment, "The new era of the Blue Continent will not be evaluated for the time being, but the new era of Olali, I think it should not be set off by a strong adventurer who has reached the bottom, but should be the cooperation of the major clans, and the most powerful form of cooperationββ"
"βjoin forces to build an impregnable fortress in the safe floor!" The elven mage blurted out under Lyle's guidance, and the picture had been drawn in his mind.
If there are fortresses in the dungeon, so that the safe floors can be turned into real spaces where you can take root and live, then not only will the way Olari operate, but the progress of dungeon exploration, which has been extremely slow for thousands of years, will also be greatly accelerated.
What's more, given the existence of safe floors, there is reason to suspect that the fortress was the original design of the gods, and that the town of Rivera was just a byproduct of a failed attempt.
Lyle suddenly smiled again and said, "But then again, I personally want to play the role of a person who rushes to the bottom to defeat the final boss, the new era or something." β
"......" The elven mage suddenly felt that what he had just felt was worthless.
Lyle didn't intend to continue talking about Olarie's direction, and shifted the question: "By the way, how many more towns like this are there?" β
The elven magician collected his mood and answered the question seriously: "I have found it, and there is another ...... If this is a 'small town', then it is just a 'tent center', and the price is directly added to the back by one or two zeros. β
There will be a safe floor every other floor, and only two have been found so far, which does not mean that there are only two, and the elven mage who followed Lyle to the bottom of the dungeon is the only mortal who knows the depths of the dungeon.
"Hey~ I thought that there would be no high-level adventurer who would go to such a deep floor to do business, you can only barter~" Lyle turned around, his eyes fell on the flashy weapons on the shelves of the roadside shop, and said thoughtfully, "...... Why don't I be the lord of the third safe level? β
"Huh!?" The elven mage exclaimed.
Gulakias couldn't help but ask, "Master, aren't we returning to the Red Continent?" β
"Of course I want to return." Although this trip has been running for more than half a year, the three brothers and sisters are more heartless than the other, but they can't forget the fact that they have a father and a mother, "It's just that I originally planned to find a quieter place to summon the maids after I go back, and I think this is more suitable than some kingdoms that don't mind giving me a title and a territory." β
"Uh, I'm sorry, I need to report this to Lord Loki." The elven magician twitched the corners of his mouth.
She played the role of 'surveillance', but she was not happy at all.
There is no need to confirm that the gods of the Blue Continent do not welcome the stay of the Red Dragon Divine Knight and the Destruction Magi.

"Dragon Slash!" After a spell that would have been regarded as an attack of the second disease in the scientific world, Lena struck a red light and killed the rock giants in the distance in one blow, leaving not even the scum behind.
"Complete the task, yes~!" Lena turned around and struck a triumphant pose towards the jaw-dropping crowd.
"Yay, you're big! Your magic is too brutal, isn't it?! No wonder Lord Loki asks us to keep an eye on you. β
"I'd love to see Lena join us, but ...... I'll never team up with you! β
"It's no problem to entangle with a strong enemy and buy you time to cast spells, but it always feels like you're going to take us away with a strong enemy."
The 'powerful magic' that Loki's family understands is not on the same scale as the 'powerful magic' that Lena understands, and it is impossible to simply praise the talent of Lena, who is only 12 years old.
Of course, in addition to the 'shock', they are envious of this power in their hearts, but this power belongs to the black magic system of the Red Continent, and it is not something that can be learned if you want to.
Luna spoke, "Lena, don't use the Dragon Slash in the dungeon. β
"Uh, is it because the power of the Red-Eyed Demon King will affect the seal of the Firmament Demon King?" Lena asked cautiously.
Luna looked at her strangely and said, "No, I'm just thinking about how you're going to get the drops of the monsters that died under the Dragonbreaker." β
