Dress up as the devil and bring some shock to the other world.

Chapter 31 Give them a little hope

Dragon Seal Base... is the name here.

But why a base? !

Levi withdrew his gaze.

Facing the steel gate, Niske had already raised the long sword in his hand, "Cut it open and take a look."

Frances wanted to stop him, but his speed was obviously half a beat slower. When the sword fell, it was bounced away out of thin air.

Niske's hands were shaking crazily.

He was even shaken to the point of drawing blood.

Excitement flashed in her eyes, a long moan came from her mouth, and there was even a flush on her face.

Cool!

France was the first to see the clues.

"There is a protective shield..."

Even Nisk couldn't break the defense, let alone anyone else.

While thinking about it.

Levi turned his attention to the door.

A voice rang in my ears.

[Identity verification in progress...]

[The identity of the Demon King has been verified...]

[Welcome to Longyin Base. 】

what?

Levi did nothing.

The door in front of me is loose!

A creaking sound.

It came from both sides of the door and from above.

What followed was the sound of gears turning.

Everyone felt a vibration beneath their feet.

Like an earthquake.

Everyone became alert.

Including Levi himself.

Although the system rewarded him for opening the permissions.

But he didn't use it.

Certification...

It was this base that opened the door on its own.

France and Niske stood in front of everyone.

The latter was extremely excited.

The door slowly rises.

Bustling sounds came from inside.

France gestured to the priest.

The priest then threw a ball into the goal.

Wherever the ball of light passes.

The volcano dragon insects gathered together densely, and immediately fled in all directions after being struck by the light emitted by the light ball.

When the ball of light dissipates.

Everyone already has an opinion.

There is an extremely vast space inside, and it can be vaguely seen that there are many caves dug out on the flat walls, leading to unknown places.

France and Niske waved their hands, beckoning everyone to follow.

But...the two of them walked to the unknown point where the gate was, but were separated by a barrier.

Except for them.

Another soldier was blocked.

The rest of the people, including Levi and Zofia, stepped through the unknown where the gate was and stepped inside.

France thought about the reason, and when he thought of the soldier, he had the answer.

"It's a level barrier."

The soldier who was blocked was level 21, and among the people who entered, the priest was level 20.

Hierarchical barriers exist in many places.

The purpose of this type of barrier is to prevent high-level bosses from frying fish, or to prevent novices from committing suicide.

No one wants to see a brave man who can defeat the Demon King alone go to the Novice Village to abuse monsters.

Or if you are a rookie who has just left the Novice Village, go challenge the Demon King alone.

If...it is to be lifted, it is not difficult.

Whoever set it up let him lift it.

In other words... a simple and crude brute force attack.

"Twenty-level level barrier..." France said to himself.

The excitement in Nisk's eyes also dissipated, and she became disappointed.

Where there is a grade barrier, you can judge whether the contents inside are valuable based on the grade of the restriction.

And level 20... is destined to have nothing good here...

The only value here may be to judge this place as a place for novices to level up.

France was not going to send anyone in to search.

After returning, the city owner and the Adventurer Association can identify this place as a place for low-level adventurers to level up.

"Withdraw," France said.

Levi was the last to leave.

He looked back.

Lips moved slightly, "Close."

A rumble sounded!

The door is closed!

France turned around in shock.

"what happened?!"

Zuofia glanced at Levi meaningfully and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Levi responded with a faint smile.

"Closed?" France murmured to himself, "It doesn't matter, I'll leave it to the Adventurers Association later."

Drill out the gaps.

After a brief chat with the bishop, France went to write a report on the investigation.

After Levi and Zofia declined the soldier captain's warm invitation to have a bonfire barbecue.

Left the defensive line.

In the secluded woods.

He and Zofia returned to the Demon King's Castle.

The effect of the permanent teleportation stone is that you can teleport to any place you have been.

He wanted to try if he could teleport directly into the Dragon Seal Base.

It is a pity.

No.

Levi delved into the reason.

It is estimated that there is something in that base that hinders the use of teleportation.

Levi didn't care.

Zuofia looked at Levi.

"Can you control the opening of that door?"

"What?" Levi blinked quickly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Zuofia poked his waist with an angry elbow.

"You can't fool me."

Levi had no intention of pretending.

"That's true." Levi smiled and took out a map.

Map of the Dragon Seal Base.

Levi explained, "Longyin Base is the name of this research institute, and this is the structure inside."

After observing the map.

Levi and Zuofia had a rough idea of the size of the research institute called Longyin Base.

It's huge...and divided into three floors.

The first and second floors are the outer area, while the third floor is the core area.

If you want to reach the deepest level, you must open the doors on the first and second floors.

Which means...head to the core area.

A total of three gates including the outer iron gate must be opened.

Niske went up with the sword without even a scratch.

Zuofia guessed, "The iron door... should be made of dragon-grained steel... a special steel forged from iron ore in volcanoes."

"Don't talk about Nisk, even if the Supreme Mage comes, he will have to blast it with all his strength for several hours before he can destroy it by force."

"Isn't it valuable?!"

Zofia nodded, "It's very valuable, and it's very heavy... If you sell it to someone else, you have to cut off a piece... and it's not easy to sell."

"why?"

"If you want to forge and smelt dragon-patterned steel, you need two conditions. One is to find a supreme blacksmith, and the other is... the flame used during forging must be dragon flame. Some subspecies of dragons can breathe fire, but The quantity is too rare.”

Levi finally understood.

It can make Zofia retreat.

This wool really cannot be harvested.

Then...if you get the permission to open it, wouldn't it be useless?

"Are you sure that this is the research institute left by the tenth Demon King?" Zofia suddenly asked.

"correct."

Levi nodded.

"Is there any treasure there?" Zofia asked.

"There should be, but there are so many volcanic dragon worms there, how do we get in?" Levi fell into thinking.

【Ding! The task starts to be released. 】

[Please go to the core area of the Dragon Seal Base and touch a dragon egg left by the tenth Demon King. 】

Levi's brows jumped sharply.

Dragon... dragon egg!

Levi opened his mouth.

My mind was racing.

Must get it!

Damn, what man wouldn't want a dragon? !

This is the ultimate dream after operating a mecha!

Zuofia seemed to have thought of something and stared at Levi.

"Can you control the main gate and the doors on the second and third floors?"

Levi asked the system.

The system's answer is yes.

Levi also realized something.

Make eye contact with Zofia.

Levi spoke slowly.

"There is an extremely small amount of magic liquid in the glands of the volcano dragon worm. Can this be understood as money?"

Zofia nodded, "I secretly dismembered one. The content of the original fluid in the gland is very small, but...it can't handle the large number of bugs."

"And the bugs are of low level." Levi added.

Zuofia echoed, "Although the level is low, there is a limit of level 20. Even if a person of level 20 goes in, it will be difficult not to get hurt when facing those bugs..."

"Injury means that treatment is needed..." Levi continued, "The Longyin base is very large, and... I also saw a lot of holes dug by bugs on the walls..."

"It's a natural...leveling place, and...you don't have to worry about high-level people coming to torture monsters." Zofia said excitedly, "You can control the opening of the gate, and we can collect tickets! You can also sell supplies. !”

Zuofia showed a wicked smile, "The people who come here must be people below level 20. After they kill enough bugs and get enough glands, we can let Xiao Hei ambush. Just hit the sap!!!"

"Wait a minute, you were a brave man before, can we stop saying these things that sound like bad people should do?!"

Zofia immediately retorted with her hands on her hips, "A brave man must eat too!"

Levi was speechless for a moment.

After thinking for a few seconds and looking at Zofia's proud expression, Levi still said.

"Robbery has a chance of overturning, and if word spreads, over time, fewer people will come, and people may be targeted. It's a one-time transaction, and you can catch all the money."

"Then...what do you want to do?"

"Let them in for free!" Levi said loudly.

Zuofia looked at Levi in disbelief.

"You're stupid! If you have money, why don't you make it?!"

Levi smiled slightly.

"There is a lot of space inside the base, and in my opinion, those bugs are so skilled that it will be difficult to clean them all at once. In other words, this is a long-term leveling location."

"And the existence of glands will transform this place from a leveling place to a place for making money by brushing materials."

"There will only be more people coming, not less. If we can use the authority to open the door as a bargaining chip to get the management rights around the base..."

Zofia understands!

"Although it's free to enter, if you want to rest and set up a camp, you have to pay. In other words, you have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation!"

"The management rights are in our hands, so we can raise prices!"

Levi nodded, "Because it is close to Rennes City, they will choose to go to Rennes City, but what if Rennes City also increases prices? As long as the external supply of food and water is controlled... Rennes City will also increase prices. .”

Zuofia's eyes lit up, "Because of the glands, they are here to make money, not to level up. Even if the price increases, they have to accept it. After all, they can make a lot of money by staying!"

"If they make money, they will think about consumption, but if they lose money, they will think about trying again, just in case they can make money."

"No... we can't let them make money." Zofia suddenly realized, "You can arrange for Xiao Hei to beat sap inside and take away everything they earn, and then provide rescue and treatment services!"

Zofia became more and more excited as she thought about it.

Here's your chance to make big money!

Li Wei cleared his throat and said again, "The beneficiaries will be divided into three parties, the city lord, the Adventurers Association, and you and me."

"Because I have the authority to open the door, I don't have to worry that they won't provide convenience... After all, no one has a grudge against money."

There are just too many bugs.

If you want to get to the core area, you have to deal with the bugs.

According to the current strength.

myself here.

Skeletons and slimes are the main fighting force, and Xiao Hei is already at level 20. It is very likely that he will be upgraded as soon as he enters and will be kicked out of the base.

Just rely on skeletons and slimes.

It is difficult to break into the core area.

And the teleportation technique is ineffective inside.

The risk is too great.

It just allows those who want to come to level up to go in and help clean up, and by the way, let them create value and increase the GDP of Rennes City.

As for, what did these people gain?

It’s hope!

It’s the hope of making big money!

But then again.

"The problem is...how to tell them that I have the authority to open the door..." Levi fell into thought.

"It's easy." Zofia smiled, "Just say you bought it from Rex, he has everything."

"Would Rex agree?"

Zuofia smiled, "You said... If we get the operating rights, part of it will be given to the Adventure Association to provide rescue and medical services, and the other part will be sold by us... Where will this material come from? ?”

Levi suddenly realized.

"Rex, you will definitely agree."

"No one has trouble with money." Zofia narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.

...

Come to the grocery store.

Push the door to enter.

Rex smiled when he saw that the people coming were Levi and Zofia.

"Welcome to you both."

Levi waved his hand, "Thank you for the blessing before, it just helped me a lot."

Rex was about to smile modestly.

But he found that there was something wrong with Levi's... aura.

Rex laughed dumbly, "The blessing you have... is extraordinary. It is much more powerful than mine."
