The middle-aged man of the aristocratic let out an exclamation, he stood up suddenly, and his face became quite ugly: "How can this be?!" ”

It's not jealousy.

To be honest, Viscount Grant thinks that the master of the labyrinth knows a little more than the average adventurer.

This group of people, or monsters, has great jurisdiction over the labyrinth, but it will be quite painful if they can't complete the care of the labyrinth.

From mental stimulation, to withdrawal reactions, and even sleepwalking control.

The larger the labyrinth, the greater the restraint on the master of the labyrinth.

Sometimes, there are even situations where the monsters and adventurers who become the masters of the maze are completely brainwashed by the maze itself and completely become the maze self-defense device.

At that time, it was not so much the so-called master of the labyrinth as the slave of the labyrinth, like the worker bees of the hive, who did everything they could to maintain the hive itself.

But there are at least many worker bees in the hive, and the master of the maze has only one maze!

Judging from the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, if Ian doesn't have a second energy level, I'm afraid he won't even be able to preserve his own will.

Fortunately, they rushed out of the labyrinth all the way under the protection of the White Mist Bishop, otherwise, the result would be unimaginable.

However, the most important thing is the master of the labyrinth.

"How could it be, I thought that the death of that crystalline dragon would be a great thing, but now, if someone from the imperial capital came and asked Ian, the master of the labyrinth, to cooperate with them in studying the labyrinth, what reason should I think of to refuse?"

At this moment, the viscount's face was very gloomy and solemn.

The exposure of the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea has become a foregone conclusion, and next, the professional appraiser of the Imperial Labyrinth Management Department will arrive in Port Harrison to be responsible for the identification and evaluation of the labyrinth, and then send a full-time explorer to explore.

Unlike ordinary adventurers, all they need to do is simply identify the resources and wealth within the labyrinth and add them to the statistical system as a 'strategic resource assessment report'.

And ordinary adventurers are just hired employees who have dug up the hidden resources in the labyrinth by the government and the people.

If they really want to make money, the most convenient way for them is to sell the resources in the labyrinth to official channels - and the price paid by the official must be controlled, and if you count taxes and security deposits, it is a little more expensive than the official opening of a special mining organization.

However, there is no need to pay pensions, and there is no need to ensure the safety of the lives of adventurers, and they can still make another profit in the insurance industry on weekdays!

Not to mention the various exploration tool shops that were originally run by local lords.

A labyrinth can indeed drive the industrial development of a region, and the addition of adventurers can put all the gains on the bright side.

This kind of thing is to prevent the local lords from digging privately, concealing the actual situation of the labyrinth, and secretly accumulating wealth and force.

Of course, the viscount wanted to excavate privately, conceal the actual situation of the labyrinth, and secretly accumulate wealth and force - so he did not intend to attract the attention of the imperial capital from the beginning, but intended to use his connections to bribe the chief of the labyrinth management department to assess the South China Sea Labyrinth as a 'small and medium-sized labyrinth' and apply for an official 'agent labyrinth excavation permit'.

In this way, he can continue to explore the large ruins without attracting attention.

However, because of the changes brought about by the natives and Patrick, the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea has become an unmistakable fact.

The Labyrinth Management Department would not dare to accept bribes of this level.

In that case, the Viscount has other ways - the work of a full-time prospector and adventurer also takes time, and he has a way of making the maze incredibly complex and difficult to explore, whether it is logistical or otherwise, and as the local lord of the land snake, he can make it difficult for everyone to move an inch.

Ten or twenty years is not a problem, as long as he wants, he can even accompany this group of full-time personnel to grind foreign workers, and at the same time mobilize his own people to explore the ruins first.

However, if the fact that Ian is the master of the labyrinth is known, things will not be good.

The Labyrinth Management Department asked Ian to help with the exploration, and no one could refuse, and he Ailes had no intention of rebelling.

"This must be hidden."

With a wave of his hand, Ian's report turned into pulp, and the fine mist completely destroyed the structure of the paper, and Viscount Grant's originally tired body instantly became energetic.

He frowned and looked out the window, "Bishop White Mist, Master Gosai, and Isengard...... If you want to hide it from the imperial capital, these people have to convince together. ”

"It shouldn't be difficult for anyone else except Bishop White Mist - but just in case, Ian can't stay in Port Harrison, whether it's being eroded by the labyrinth or being seen by the people of the imperial capital, I can't accept it."

"Sure enough, I have to let him be honored as a knight, and go outside early, it's good for him, and it's good for me."

With this determination, the viscount slowly sat back in his seat.

Leaning back in his chair and staring up at the ceiling, he couldn't help but sigh, then gritted his teeth and said, "Hey...... Pat, you're dying lightly, leaving me with so much trouble. ”

"I really want to kill you with a sword with my own hands."

With that in mind, the viscount sensed that someone was approaching outside the door.

It's the familiar sound of footsteps.

"Honey, what's the matter?"

He turned his head and looked at the door, and when he heard the voice of the room's owner, the red-haired treasurer opened the door.

Lamar's expression was a little confused, but he still walked up to the viscount with great politeness and reported to the viscount: "My lord, Mr. Patrick has something to show you. ”

"He has a box left in the Platinum-Iridium Workshop, and Mr. Patrick has said to the workshop staff that if the essentia pattern on the surface of the box flickers, he will send the box to the Viscount's Court for you to see for yourself."

"Although Mr. Patrick fought you a few days ago, I think you'll want to see it, so after checking that it's not dangerous, I asked the doorman to take the box."

"Would you like to see it?"

Lamar asked.

"Of course...... Sure enough, you still understand me. What the hell did that bastard leave for me? Are you embarrassed to leave something for me? ”

Taking a deep breath, the viscount stood up, his tone tinged with imperceptible sorrow in addition to resentment.

Lamar looked up at the middle-aged man, who was already not young, but had lost an old friend.

Compared with more than ten years ago, when the other party rescued himself and his people from the hands of the natives and protected himself behind him...... Viscount Grant is indeed old.

The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, as well as the tired demeanor, speak for themselves.

He couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, and then said calmly.

"Then I'll bring it back for you, my lord."
