Chapter Forty-Six: In the "Quagmire".
After a brief conversation with Kalman Fleming's boss, under the strange gaze of Frank, who was too weak to find something to do and bought a breakfast to eat himself, Morgana called a guy who walked out of Kalman's shop calmly without any psychological burden.
Although it was impossible for Boss Fleming to give away all his secrets because of this level of knowledge, for Mogan, the casual conversation was relatively pleasant, and it was enough to be sure that there was a certain level of mutual trust.
Coupled with the fact that Boss Fleming had agreed to come to Robbie's shop at noon to confess the cargo ship he knew, he couldn't have been more satisfied.
After confirmation, Mogan can be sure that:
"Pandora's Bazaar should not be called a puddle of water, nor should it be called a quagmire."
Its rise and existence have completely activated the marginal territory in the southwest of the Kol Kingdom.
Even though the books in the middle of nowhere, which are rarely read by scholars a hundred years ago, the sea of miracle flowers has become a beautiful place in the legends of bards.
Merchants came and went, carrying wealth and capital, needed protection, and were accompanied by great combat power, thus expanding the port and township.
The reality of increasing prosperity makes it impossible for the pirates who once ravaged this area to be good at fraud and raid, and the villagers can play to their strengths.
Even if it is true that most of the local mage guilds are third-rate mages who regard magic as a hobby in middle age or even in their later years, they can stand up with courage when needed, and have no idea what level of mage they will be facing.
Under such protection, they have not encountered a decent crisis for twenty or thirty years, and therefore they have never been invincible.
It's ridiculous, yet hard to blame.
Because there really is no real danger.
And not just such Pandora Bazaar, but even the entire kingdom of Kohl enjoys the same truth.
As early as Mogan came to the continent of Iverson, that is, from the age when he fell to the ground after his mother's womb fell to the ground, he had already smelled the unusual things about this world when he first came into contact with the world.
For this reason, even though his understanding of sociological theory in his previous life was only limited to university electives, Mogan even seriously constructed a social theory—a simple social theory that started from scratch and was derived for the entire country and continent.
Equilibrium Theory.
The many strange races of the Kingdom of Cole, except for a few races with little normal sanity, or the elves who have been tragically extinct, are currently in a state of closeness and alienation with the most widespread human race.
Although small frictions will not be broken because of the inherent inter-ethnic friction, the overall ethnic group has always been in a state of peace and soundness.
To achieve this effect, it has gone through hundreds of years of precipitation, continuous running-in and contact. To a large extent, this result depended on the prosperity of the Kingdom of Cole and the balance between the two great nations of Iverson.
It all starts with balance, and that balance leads to a deeper balance.
Because of this, at least in the territory of the Cole Kingdom that Mogan could see with his own eyes, the consequences of the conflict were no longer to be worried, and everything would eventually be like the surface of the water in a thermos cup, no matter how fierce the shock caused by the accident would eventually fall silent.
And the lid of the water cup that preserves the water is the benefit of the magic held by the highest combat power of the continent.
Mogan, who had nothing to do, even wrote down these contents one by one on a piece of paper at home that no one could read except himself.
After hearing Lucifer mention the so-called "sacred covenant", he became more and more sure of the accuracy of the theory.
However, that was already his black history.
The dizzy blood of the young dragon's brain made Mogan summarize the conclusions into a paper and submit it to the leader of the kingdom in a secret capacity, only to be easily exposed by the complaint that he didn't know from nowhere, and he was ready to draw a line with himself at that time.
After a few implicit remarks in the letter, Mogan was completely sure that he would be at odds with this transgression in the future.
Hiding his aura and guarding against magical powers was also a habit that began to develop at that time, and Mogan still has a grudge to know who is bored and takes the initiative to expose the son of a knight who is no more than ten years old to the queen, who has no magical powers at all.
It's a shame.
He may not have the potential to be a son of a dragon who is "a child on the surface, but actually too intelligent".
Because of this, for more than ten years, Mogan has devoted himself to learning magic and combat, two fields that he has never set foot in, and is determined to be himself - the original sensible, greedy, and at the same time reasonable half-blood merchant.
But Mogan didn't do useless work after all. Although the theory itself was rejected by himself because of his embarrassment, Mogan still uses the ultimate conclusion that accompanies the theory and is submitted with the paper, that is, the solution to the problem.
Unlike theoretical knowledge, practice is what he excels in.
He once named the source of this method "Ripple Theory", which was also written on the discarded thesis report.
The purpose of the method is certainly not to upset the balance of the Kingdom of Cole, but the most useful thing for Mogan is to temporarily upset this balance, allowing him to peek into the true motives of all those below the surface.
Like a pool of stagnant water, when it is still without waves, it is unknown whether there is something of the same color hidden underneath.
But when it ripples and ripples, if there is anything hidden in it, it will be exposed by the refraction of light.
With no interest in politics, Mogan was naturally not a good actor who came to join the fight, but simply wanted to take advantage of the facts as much as possible.
In this way, he can confirm that there are no "restless people" hiding in the balance who disguise themselves and affect his plans.
The creation of a nuisance trap for gold coins in the well of the Pandora Bazaar is also an extension of this theory. Mogan has always been committed to creating just the right amount of chaos that can achieve the purpose of his observation, but will not affect too much and have too much stamina.
That's why he takes responsibility for unforeseen accidents after his observations are over.
Because this kind of thing happens all the time.
But Mogan didn't expect it,
Walked to the vicinity of Robbie's shop, which was already after Robbie's agreed time to return.
Not surprisingly, although just outside the Pandora Bazaar, there were now several more people at the door.
The glass-like barrier was also opened by Lucifer as agreed after Robbie's return, and now except for Robbie, who is checking out for someone for unknown reasons in the store, of course, it is His Majesty the King who is hiding in the corner and pretending to be a "safe" in the "security booth".
Excluding the fact that Fleming's boss asked for help, Mogan was able to truly confirm who had rescued the two trapped in the well.
For the parties, this may be just a gesture, but because they are not skilled in the world, they can make themselves embarrassed.
This is an important pointing clue.
Mogan walked straight into the door, glanced at the location of the "safe", and then looked at the one thousand kol guilders he had just received in front of the counter.
There was also Robbie, the store manager who was sitting behind, who was still novel, confused, and unfamiliar at that time, and his expression was contrary to the past, and he was quite confused.
