Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

the other side,

As for the supermarket, it has been built to the 10th floor. Trade with various families, including the Dionysian family, continues. Coconut milk has also become a best-selling product after potato balls.

Ciel also brought some items that Orario didn't have before.

For example, fountain pens, toilet paper, printed books, etc...

They also reached a cooperation agreement with the Demeter Familia, attempting to cultivate various seasonings that the Charr found in the dungeon.

It's worth mentioning that many materials from the dungeon lose their magical effects when cultivated on the surface. However, their flavor can be preserved.

If you want to cultivate herbs infinitely, like in a dungeon, creating artificial mazes would be a good way to solve this problem.

After Tina's negotiations, Barca readily agreed to subcontract part of the project.

The agreement states that whoever funds the construction will gain seven years of access to the maze. After seven years, Balka will be able to collect one floor of the maze for free.

This seemed to break free from Balca's rigid working-class mindset, and he seemed poised to transform into a capitalist. If it weren't for the Daedalusian will in his blood that compelled him to continue working, he would probably already be traveling to various countries to negotiate investments.

So the task was assigned to Tina, who offered various useful suggestions.

Barca felt that he would live to see a labyrinth with more than 50 floors built.

After obtaining the building access to 20 floors...

Ferros decided to create magical production equipment to produce a source of automatically generated herbs and elixirs.

In three months, the 20th floor of the man-made maze has been planted with medicinal herbs produced by the Great Tree Maze, and a special medicinal herb processing workshop has been built.

When the little girl followed Ciel into the labyrinth and saw the magnificent building that was perfect for being transformed into a private magic workshop, she couldn't help but marvel at Daedalus.

After returning to the ground, Fels said to Charles, "To be honest, even I would like to take the man-made maze for myself."

Fels smiled gloomily and made a statement that sounded quite like something a blond man would say.

Chapter 300: A Clash of Wits Among Three Mysterious Holders

After Fels, Barka, Haschi, and others gathered together, the overall R&D efficiency experienced an explosive increase.

The production of magical items has also increased accordingly, and magical items produced by Fels are often sold in the shopping area above the [Supermarket].

Communication and image transmission tools such as eyeglasses have also been put on the market, but they are quite expensive.

But this is no big deal for the major factions.

The gods purchased a large number of eye crystals and distributed them to the children in batches, enabling them to monitor the activities of their kin in the dungeon and receive the images simultaneously.

It's like a live broadcast; as soon as children are discovered to be in danger, ground support can be contacted as quickly as possible.

Fels also used this as a central hub, creating a dedicated room to manage these eye crystals, allowing adventurers carrying the eye crystals to patrol the dungeons in place of her.

Unfortunately, current "Eye Crystal" technology can only achieve one-to-one magical waveband transmission. Linking multiple Eye Crystals requires a large and complex magical device, which is simply inconvenient to carry. To achieve the convenience of the "Mirror of God" in the war game, Fels will need to spend some more time working on it.

Charles believes that it may not take too long to develop from one-on-one walkie-talkies to global mobile communication. As long as there are enough "mysterious" owners, it is not difficult to push the Orario era forward by several hundred years and enter the "modern era".

After all, there are many very "sci-fi" creations in Orario.

At least, the school district that Xia Er knew of possessed a set of immature mechanical weapon technology similar to a lightsaber, capable of spitting out sword energy.

……

Furthermore, after Fels joined, the [Collar] technology was further enhanced in her hands. Although sorcery was not Fels' specialty, the effect of [Mystic A] was too overpowered.

With the addition of powerful magical technology, the collar can now completely discard the useless whip and instead control monsters with the bracelet.

The tentacle-like retractable bands have also transformed into red spell runes. When capturing monsters, one only needs to fire a corresponding cursed beam from the bracelet to enslave them.

The effect of enslavement increases with the duration of enslavement. As long as hatred is not deliberately established, even if the curse is broken halfway through, the monster will remain loyal like a brainwashed dog.

At the same time, the number of monsters that a single bracelet can control has increased to six.

Compared to fantasy items like Poké Balls and Palkia Balls, it only lacks the ability to contain items. Therefore, Fels often circled around Pochi, trying to uncover the secrets of its equipment slots.

On Ciel's side...

The "sword" commissioned to Hasqi forge has been completed. It's not a particularly powerful weapon, but rather a relatively durable and highly sharp greatsword.

It is 6 meters long, with a blade 20 cm wide and 3 cm thick, and incorporates many of the hardest metals and superconducting metals.

If converted into game equipment, it would be a basic high-attack greatsword that requires high strength and agility, and has a self-repairing durability effect.

The blade was also carved by Fels, with four grooves left for Sharl to create "runewords" for it.

Regarding identity...

Charles's "Ten Core Principles" book was also released at Orario after the completion of the papermaking and type-printing workshops.

Ciel deliberately cultivated the title of "Master" in Orario, and combined with his extraordinary research on "Monster Meat Cuisine," his reputation in Orario was mixed.

Xia Er grasped the essence of "traffic is king" and "haters are also fans," further promoting "coconut milk" and boosting "supermarket" sales, coupled with the "cut a price" combo.

For a time, after an adventure, browsing the "supermarket" became a popular choice for adventurers during their leisure time, subtly replacing the status of the entertainment district.

The House of Dusk.

"You seem to have been obsessed with making money lately?"

In the library where he was alone with Riveria, the otherworldly elf asked in bewilderment, "With your wisdom, you should not be indulging in worldly desires."

Charles closed the book: "What do you think Farley is?"

“Desire.” Riveria was very straightforward.

Charles shook his head: "You are of elven royalty, of course you don't understand the persistence of us ordinary people."

Charles snapped his fingers, and the magic runes on his bracelet flashed. The unicorn rabbit on the ground raised its head and deftly made him a cup of coffee.

This is a technological advantage that only Shire enjoys, while the Dark Valve is still using the old equipment.

“You see, whether it’s improving my beast-taming abilities or buying advanced magic books, I need an astonishing amount of Falli. I want to change my fate, and I can’t do anything without Falli.”

Charles drew a magic sword from his waist and handed it to the unicorn rabbit who brought him coffee: "Besides, as long as I have enough money, I can stockpile thousands of magic swords. Do you know what a pay-to-win warrior is?"

"If my abilities and reputation don't match, then theory is just theory."

Riveria disagreed.

"What you're talking about are all external things, evil paths. They don't change the fact that you're weak."

Charles shook his head and scoffed: "You, who were born with nine spells, wouldn't understand. You should ask Raul if he would be willing to remain a mortal if given the chance to possess magic."

Yes, after three months, the meeting of the gods was held again.

Adventurers who rose through the ranks during the great struggle also received their respective titles.

It is worth mentioning that the werewolf Bert Roca has been promoted to level 4, changed his name from [Grey Wolf] to [Fierce Wolf], and recently set off for his home grassland to fight against the "Lord of the Grasslands".

Raul, through Charles's deliberate observation, also noticed Raul's habit of frequently going to the pleasure district.

It seems that Xia Er is putting a lot of pressure on him, even though he continues to push his limits during the day, he can still keep working hard at night.

Hmm, maybe it's to have a heart-to-heart talk.

Ciel didn't care about that.

The atmosphere of the times is palpable, and events from our memories are quietly unfolding.

at the moment……

Faced with Ciel's bluntness, Riveria remained silent.

Given the wealth of the Loki Familia, giving Raul a chance to change his ways is certainly possible, but the Familia also has its rules, and it's impossible for them to be so generous as to give away a magic book to a Level 2.

“Let’s not talk about that…” Riveria realized she couldn’t stop Charles from speeding down the road to wealth, so she asked instead, “Ais has been disobedient again lately, do you have any ideas?”

"You mean by 'disobedience,' the insistence on high-intensity training every day?" Charles chuckled.

"Isn't this what you wanted? Now you're not satisfied?"

Riveria frowned helplessly: "That method can indeed quickly increase one's foundation, but it puts too much strain on the body. And Ais doesn't know how to restrain herself. If only she were as obedient as Alpha."

"Then just send her to the dungeon."

“That’s too dangerous,” Riveria retorted immediately. “Having experienced the efficient growth that training brings, she won’t be satisfied with the inefficient leveling she used to do. Do you know what she did in the Dragon Pot?”

“Leave the group and face the dragons alone!” Riveria felt a great headache coming on.

"Alpha is so well-behaved, you should think of a way to let Ais rest for a while."

Charles thought for a moment, then looked at the distant sky: "Well... let her participate in the Elegy Festival. She probably has someone she wants to pay her respects to."

Chapter 301 Elegy

"Really? I've been on expeditions lately and completely forgot it was this holiday." Rivera looked out the window. "The cemetery will probably be quite 'lively' this year."

“After all, tens of thousands of people died, and many more didn’t even have the right to be buried.” Charles’s face was devoid of joy or sorrow.

He was partly responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people, to some extent.

Although the death toll in Orario would have reached 30,000 if he weren't there, for the people of Orario today, it's simply something that didn't happen. Of the 20,000 who survived, they will likely become part of the group that despises Joker.

Charles thought.

……

The so-called elegiac festival, simply put, is a ceremony to mourn the death of a 'hero'.

At night, the city extinguished all the magic stone lamps, and people carried candles as they paraded through the dark streets.

They entered in an orderly fashion to the "First Cemetery," located southeast of Orario, to mourn the heroes they had never met before, or the adventurers who had perished.

Ciel and Alfia walked side by side, stopping in front of the famous hero tombs of various world-renowned dungeons.

Galahad seeks the Holy Grail in order to save the princess.

Aladdin, a magician, ventures into the labyrinth to help the fairy sealed within his lantern.

Saint George, who defeated the dragon.

There's also Finana and Argo, whom Ciel is very familiar with.
