Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

"Everything should be ready, let's go."

In the restaurant, all the team members gathered together, including Yunxin. Today they were going to head to the second level of the maze - Youruo Swamp.

Although it is said that there is a way to go to the second floor from the end of the first floor, it is too difficult and troublesome. It is better to go directly downstream of the river, where there is a door to the maze.

Because Fan Wei's restaurant is on the nearest road, this will be the team's gathering place for some time to come.

Wearing raincoats and light and breathable swamp adventure equipment, everyone carried their supplies and took a horse-drawn carriage in the heavy rain, heading downstream of the river.

The sky was filled with dark clouds like a rushing sea, and the unfamiliar streets along the way were all lit with street lamps to supplement the lack of lighting.

The carriage rumbled along and turned a corner at the embankment. An adventurer's gathering place consisting of a dock and numerous buildings appeared before their eyes.

Heavy rain cannot stop people from working hard for their lives.

Merchant ships would dock at this broad river bay, unloading goods from all over the continent and taking away treasures and materials from the maze.

The old restaurant with smoke billowing provides a bowl of hot soup to warm the workers.

As Fan Wei's gaze wandered, the carriage stopped in front of a tall building. This was the branch of the Adventurer's Guild established here.

Of course, on both sides there are also the 'Fisheries and Port Taxation Office' representing the power of the nobility, as well as the solemn and magnificent chapel.

"Let's focus on getting familiar with the route this time, and take on a few collection missions."

After getting off the car and standing in the rain, Rody raised his voice and spoke to everyone. The strong smell of fish was everywhere. Small sheds made of simple oilcloth were still open even in the heavy rain, selling fruits and fish.

The safe plan was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, and they quickly walked into the door of the Adventurer's Guild.

As I stepped over the threshold, the sound of rain suddenly weakened and the heat rushing towards me made me feel relieved.

Compared to the spacious and grand appearance of the center of Maze Street, the branch here is much smaller, more like a combination of a station and a bank in Fan Wei's memory.

Under the warm yellow light, many adventurers were busy queuing up at the window to hand over their tasks.

There were many benches on the other side of the hall, and a crowd of people wearing raincoats were making a lot of noise, as if waiting for the big clock on the wall to chime the time. There was also a large side door that led directly to the dock outside.

"The second maze gate is located in the water."

Yani spoke of the information she had inquired about, put her hand on her brow, and pointed to the huge panoramic window on the side that was made up of a gorgeous metal frame and glass panels.

The river bay was very blurry in the rain, like an endless sea, but in the distance one could make out a huge structure half-rising above the water.

"Go through the Youruo Swamp and you can get there directly by boat!"

Everyone felt it was very novel, and the unique way of adventure made people look forward to the journey.

"Let's go get in line, you guys go wait in the tavern next door."

Rody and Bernoulli smiled, and according to the huge bulletin board on the wall, they found the window to receive the target tasks and lined up to receive the tasks.

In this branch hall, which is not too big but has everything available, there is also a tavern run by the guild itself. Apparently, they are afraid that adventurers will get impatient and cause trouble, so they provide some entertainment.

"Would you like a cup of hot tea, or coffee? Or a local specialty drink?"

Captain Yani treated us all today, and she first ordered a cup of chili mint tea from the Guarda Basin, wanting to try this magical drink that is said to be better than coffee in refreshing the mind.

"Hot milk, thank you~"

"I want a small glass of Weed's white fire wine." Early in the morning, Westin ordered a glass of his hometown specialty. "It would be even better if there was a small plate of smoked salted fish!"

"You're asking for too much..."

Yani placed her order and suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away, laughing and talking with a stranger. She was startled and sat quietly for a while before walking up to him.

"Vic, long time no see."

"Wow!!" A thin young man of medium height with slightly curly blue hair and dark skin was obviously startled and the beer in his hand spilled.

"Ya, Yani, haha, long time no see, why are you here?"

Judging from the name, this person is the member of Baimu team who left a letter and left without saying goodbye before Fan Wei joined the team.

"Humph, nothing, people just want to move up." With a cold snort, Yani looked at the people at the same table, mocking her former teammate, "Is this your new team?"

"Yes, yes..." Still looking embarrassed, Vic touched his head and said, "It's the team formed by my cousin."

"After training for a while, my cousin suggested to me that I join his team and go to the second floor to make money together. I thought about it and came because my family really needed it..."

The man next to him who looked a bit like Vic pushed his cousin's shoulder.

"Haha, are we friends? You seem to be so shy. Just say whatever you want to say~" The man took a sip of wine heartily. They were a nation from the coastal mountains of the mainland.

Traditionally they make a living by growing potatoes, raising sheep and fishing. Their economy is relatively backward, but everyone is good at swimming and using harpoons.

They are particularly adapted to the environment on the second floor of the maze.

"Yes, yes. Actually, I don't dare to mention it. After all, I feel very sorry for everyone's care." Vic stood up embarrassedly and bowed. "Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye."

Yani looked at her former teammate quietly. She used to be very angry and deeply traumatized by this, but after these days of calming down.

The girl who served as the captain has finally grown up.

"If you have something to say, just say it clearly." Yani said with a smile in a gentle voice, "If you said that, I would have thought that I was a bad leader of the team."

"How could that be!" Vic waved his hands again and again, "It's all my fault for being so careless!"

"Hey! Vic." Rody and Bernoulli, who had just completed their mission, came over and greeted him warmly.

"How have you been lately?"

Everyone gathered together with drinks in their hands. There were not only familiar old faces, but also many new figures. Vic looked at the team that had grown much larger than before, and finally let go of his burden and smiled with relief.

“It’s pretty good, everyone is very nice, I feel very happy!”

After a conversation to resolve the misunderstanding, Yani seemed to have completely let go of the haze of the past. She took a sip of the "chili mint tea" with a bright smile and spit it out.

"...I'm sorry, Captain, I shouldn't have eaten so much of you."

Westin was sprayed in the face with pepper spray, his eyes were red from the stimulation, and he said tremblingly: "Please don't make things difficult for me!"

"Ahem, I'm not... ahem, I'm so stingy." It was cold and spicy, and a surge of clarity that made Yani regret it soberly, "What kind of drink is this!"

I will never eat such weird things again! I don’t know what kind of perverts the people in the Guada Basin are!

"Ding!" Suddenly a huge bell rang, and the people waiting in the tavern and the hall became active. Outside the panoramic window, a large ship with a wide deck slowly emerged from the rain and approached the shore.

The boat to Youruo Swamp is here!
