Fooling Tomoko into being a system

"It's wrong. It's impossible. Please let me see?"

The lady at the counter followed Li Lin's finger and saw the words pointing to 20 gold coins, "Yes, the reward for completing the commissioned task is 20 gold coins."

Priestess heard that she was right, and immediately exclaimed, "An investigation commission actually has 20 gold coins. This is almost a very good intermediate adventurer mission!"

"Because this mission is very difficult and is indeed worth so much money. This is a mission that can only be completed by intermediate adventurers, so I was thinking about whether to give this mission to you before. It was you who successfully escaped from the insect tide. I am confident and there is a serious shortage of manpower, so I will ask you if you want to take over the mission."

"Now, let me ask again, do you really want to take over the investigation task?"

"Of course, we have a way to deal with the insect swarm. When the time comes, I will carry Priestess on my back, and she will release the "holy light" on my back. The insect swarm is afraid of light, so escaping is still very simple. "

Seeing Li Lintai's solution, the lady at the counter thought that there was indeed not much danger, so she stopped giving advice.

"Miss Counter, I found that the investigation task includes checking whether the insect tide is digging holes in the sewers. We don't have a sewer map. Without a map, it is difficult to check the sewers in sequence. Can you provide us with a sewer map?"

Li Lin never forgets to have sex for free when doing tasks.

The counter lady glanced at Li Lin angrily and said, "Trainee counter lady, go to the cabinet and get them a sewer map."

"Yes!"

The trainee counter lady nodded and turned around and walked behind her. She found the large cabinet with the map on it and found the map of the Xiacun Town Waterway and handed it to Li Lin.

"Please keep it, this is the sewer map you want."

Of course the lady at the counter saw Li Lin's intention to have sex for free, "The sewer map costs 5 gold coins according to the internal price!"

Li Lin's hand shook and he almost lost control of the map, "So expensive? 5 gold coins? The price is so high, doesn't it mean that you don't want people to buy it at all?"

"How do you know this map is not for new adventurers? Sewers and sewage ditches are the best maps. New adventurers can escape by following the sewage if they can't defeat the rats."

The lady at the counter took out another piece of parchment and started recording, "This map must be kept well. Whether it is lost or damaged, it must be reported to the Adventurer's Guild. I want to record the relevant information of the map holder."

"It's just a map, is it necessary to make it so strict?"

When the lady at the counter heard Li Lin's disapproving tone, she immediately stopped and looked directly at Li Lin. It seemed necessary to tell him why the map was important.

"The map of the village sewer is very important. If the map is stolen by the evil cultists, they may arrange a sacrificial array ceremony in the sewer based on the sewer map. A village was once sacrificed."

Li Lin immediately thought of the land refinement in "Steel Refining" and opened the sewer map and looked at it, "Miss counter, why does this sewer map look so strange? It's completely asymmetrical!"

The village and town were built on the lower reaches of a river, and the terrain was very gentle. Li Lin's layout for the sewers was a 'well + return' square grid, but the map the counter lady gave him was completely different. The biggest feature of this map was its asymmetry!

The sewers seemed to be deliberately made crooked, which made Li Lin, a slightly obsessive-compulsive person, have his brows twitching and wished he could straighten the sewers.

"Haha~" The counter lady saw Li Lin's brows twitching and said with a smile, "There is a reason for this. The structure of the sewer cannot leave a large, standardized and flat space. This is to prevent evil cultists from setting up huge sacrificial magic circles. "

"The sacrificial magic array needs to have a huge space, a circular array that can surround the entire village or town, or leave small sacrificial arrays at several key symmetrical nodes."

"What if there is no such a large space, no symmetrical nodes, and a sacrifice formation for the evil god believers?"

Listening to the counter lady's story, Li Lin carefully observed the sewer map in his hand again. There was indeed no big space, and there was no room for symmetry in the crooked sewers. The other half of the symmetrical positions were all solid soil. If you wanted to be symmetrical, you needed to Major sewer construction work.

"But this is useless, right? The evil cultists can enter the sewers and dig holes secretly to form a symmetry point!"

"Of course it works. Excavation of sewers is a very big project. Unless they can control the rock-eating monsters to dig holes, it will also cause large vibrations and can be discovered in an instant. It will take a long time to dig by manpower. If there is this time, they will be destroyed. Discovered by adventurers who went to hunt rats in the sewers.”

Li Lin blinked. The lady at the counter seemed to have said something outrageous just now.

What do you mean by an evil cultist who relies on adventurers to discover the sewers?After meeting the evil cultists, can the adventurer come back alive?

How did you know there was a sewer problem?

Wait, if a large number of novice adventurers in the sewers died or disappeared, wouldn't the Adventurer's Guild know immediately that there was a problem in the sewers?

It turns out that the cannon fodder is myself?

"Ever since the sewer system was modified to make it no longer symmetrical, it's rare for an entire village, town or city to be sacrificed. That's why the sewers were built like this."

"Okay, I will take good care of the sewer map. As soon as I complete the investigation task, I will return the map to you as soon as possible."

"That's not a big deal, just keep it in mind."

Li Lin thought of a very contradictory point, "Since the village sewer map is so important, but the internal price can be bought for 5 gold coins, isn't the confidentiality measure too bad?"

"What's the problem with this? After years of maintenance, many people know the structure of the sewer, such as some intermediate adventurers, sewer maintenance personnel..." The lady at the counter said to many people.

Li Lin and Priestess were getting more and more numb as they listened to it. Don't many people know about such an important map that was mentioned before?

"Then you told me that the map is very important. As long as the evil cultists catch these people, isn't it easy to torture out the map of the sewer?"

"Haha~" The lady at the counter shook her head at Li Lin, "Even if the evil cultists know the sewer map, will it be useful? Kidnapping people who know the map? As long as something happens to these people, we will be more vigilant and strengthen inspections of the sewers."

"Even if the evil cultists get the map, they still need to dig the connecting sewers. The asymmetric structure in the sewers is the most important key point. Just getting the map is useless."

Depend on!Li Lin finally understood what this map was for. It was a bait for fishing and law enforcement.

It would definitely be a big trouble if the evil cultists knew that I had seen the sewer map.

The lady at the counter was unhappy with my prostitution map and warned me specifically?
