Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Of course Fan Wei had to agree to Her Royal Highness the Princess' invitation, and it was a good opportunity to have a meal.

He doesn't have the energy to cook now.

Under the umbrellas held tightly by the guards, everyone was not exposed to a single drop of rain and took a carriage to the nearby royal consulate.

Still in the same position as last time, Midara looked out the window, her fingers resting on the white enamel handle of the teacup, but she did not touch the amber tea.

The sound of rain was pouring down, and for a moment it seemed somewhat quiet.

"Lord Misir." Her Royal Highness the Princess shifted her gaze and said lightly, "The trend of the great era is coming."

"Huh?" Fan Wei was a little surprised.

He felt as if he had heard this sentence before. He pondered and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Has there been any change in the Kingdom of Roga?"

"more than."

Midara retracted her gaze, her orange pearl-like eyes fixed on the teaspoon in her hand, "This world, the continent, the East, the Elf Empire across the sea, this abnormal weather, disaster, gods..."

“All of this is a precursor to change.”

There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone that Fan Wei had never seen before. Midara took a shallow breath and said, "Sorry, my words were a bit confusing."

"But to be honest, I can't see clearly..."

"High above, those who know the inside story are vague, and there are countless people who are ignorant of the impending disaster. I asked to see the saint under the supreme glory, and she only spoke to me."

"What has not fallen in ancient times must fall now. I only hope that someone who is beyond the gods can save all races from extinction."

"Can you guess what it means, Lord Misr?"

"Uh, I don't know..." Fan Wei told the truth. How could this kind of riddle be solved? Without enough information, even if the answer was placed right in front of them, it would be difficult for ordinary people to understand it.

"Anyway, it's not a good thing... It can make the devout people of the gods pray to the transcendent..."

Midara picked up the teacup, took a sip, and used the warmth to fill the overwhelming coldness. She slowly revealed an elegant and warm smile.

"Although there were many bad things, I still want to thank Lord Misir for helping me a lot. The formula has been highly praised, and many nobles and merchants are willing to invest in it."

"Your share and reward will definitely be indispensable."

"You are too polite, Princess." Fan Wei shook his head and said, "You have also helped me a lot. This is what I should do."

"Haha~" Midara smiled brightly.

It was magical. This was the first time that Fan Wei felt a smile with emotion and warmth from the princess.

"Then it's a deal." Midara slowly took out a blue brooch from her pocket and placed it next to Fan Wei's hand, "We are now solid allies, Mr. Star Knight."

"Knight?" Fan Wei was stunned. Although he had been knighted, he could not really become a knight of a princess...

"I, I'm not very good at riding a horse yet?"

Midara laughed, very amused. His generous smile was as bright as silver. "It's okay! If you want to learn, you can borrow any horse in my stable to practice."

"I hope you can accept this invitation." She lowered her voice.

"For a noble, the Knights of the Stars are the most reliable force. For you, they are neither too heavy nor too light."

"With the protection of the Sage Tower, even if there are any problems, I believe Sir Misr will be able to handle it on his own."

It was clear that Midara understood the situation very well and was willing to lay her cards on the table.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Fan Wei felt that things were not peaceful, so he carefully asked what was going on.

At this moment, the chefs served the appetizers, but did not introduce them as usual. Instead, they bowed solemnly and left. In the silence, the sound of rain outside the window became the only background sound.

"Two days ago, my father was beheaded for treason, and my mother was taken back by the royal family and placed under house arrest."

Midara spoke in a harsh voice, and the news she uttered was not painful, but cruel. "Those idiots in the royal family thought that they could stop the invasion of the empire by doing this? Little did they know that they were already the dish on the plate."

"Glevin IV is probably getting old and confused, and his sons and daughters are all idiots."

After a few angry scoldings, Midara's eyes were solemn.

"I'm afraid the next move of the empire will be to hollow out my father's northern fortress and then annex the Labyrinth Street. Hedland will never give up until Roga is completely devoured!"

Ah? Fan Wei was dumbfounded, "We're going to fight?"

"It will happen in a few years, but right now they have to deal with me." Midara scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, elegant and cold.

"The impeachment letter has been issued, but unfortunately, I have the final say on this matter. Some guys know the difference between being a dog gnawing bones and eating meat with wolves. Glevin is actually in a shaky position."

"But it can only be delayed for a while. Once the army arrives, the fence-sitters will naturally turn around. All we can do is keep our face intact."

"What should we do?" When it comes to political theory, Fan Wei can also shout "Keys!" But when it comes to practical operations, he still doesn't want to be a laughing stock in front of this powerful princess.

"The natural disaster gave me an opportunity." Midara smiled.

"Droughts and floods in summer and autumn have almost wiped out all food production. More than two million disaster victims in the lower reaches of the river are now planning to move westward. The coming cold winter will probably make matters worse, enough to cause serious damage to the entire Roga."

"All the lords must be trying to protect themselves and have no time to start a war for the time being."

"The bad news is that the nobles will strictly restrict the sale of grain from now on. It's not certain whether there is grain from abroad, but it definitely can't be shipped to Labyrinth Street."

"The Sage Tower and the Guild don't care about this. The royal family can do whatever they want."

"It was only enough to barely support itself, and now it will be the main target of disaster victims. The public security and food safety of Maze Street are in great danger."

Seeing the worry on Fan Wei's face, Midara sighed and said:

"This is an opportunity, but also a challenge. Sir Misr, do you have any solution?"

Fan Wei smiled bitterly. This was overestimating him. Although he could make use of the monsters in the maze, his personal ability was still limited. A thousand people could afford it, and ten thousand people could also grit their teeth.

Two million? Even if they were dispersed a lot, only a few hundred thousand would eventually reach Maze Street. The extra food shortage would be enough to eat up a mountain!

Never underestimate the qualitative change brought about by quantitative change. People in the other world are too greedy!

"Well, I'll try my best to find a solution." Fan Wei's silence made Midara feel a little disappointed. "We have some allies and land-based means. We can digest as much as we can. After all... they are also Roga's people."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Fan Wei felt that his view of Midara had been refreshed.

As a noble of high rank and power, she possesses such a strong sense of national identity and protection of her people that she must be an ideal monarch for the kingdom and the people.

Although he has no feelings for the Kingdom of Roga, Fan Wei is still willing to do it if it can help some people.

"Your Highness, I will do my best to assist you."

"Thank you, Lord Misler. I will never forget everyone who helped me at this time." Midara picked up the knife and fork and smiled.

“Let’s eat...”

——————I am the dividing line——————

"I'm back." A ray of silver light broke through the rain curtain, and Irene pushed the door open and walked in.

The warm and dry autumn breeze blows on your face. Thanks to the "Gift of Mother Earth", there is no need to worry about the humid air in the restaurant caused by too much rain.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Fan Wei brought the huge porcelain bowl to the table, rubbed his hands and smiled, "We'll have seafood porridge tonight, with the pickles I made."

Clara set the table and Gonia brought in the chairs.

Yunxin looked around and found nothing to do, so she pretended to wipe the table.

"No need to do that. The inspection doesn't start until tonight. Have you all read your books?"

Irene saw through these guys' thoughts at a glance.

"Let me take a look!" Fan Wei nodded rapidly, diligently served a bowl of porridge, and enthusiastically promoted the side dishes he had prepared.

The secret version of green onion and tofu, this is a recipe he had seen in a book before. Cut the fresh tofu into small cubes and cook it in hot chicken soup for two minutes.

After it cools down, add salt and soy sauce, and if conditions permit, some sesame oil, and mix it together with chopped green onions.

Finally, refrigerate it in the refrigerator for half an hour and it is ready. This dish is very refreshing and appetizing in summer, and it is also good to drink with hot porridge.

Meat increases qi and blood, while vegetarian food calms down depression.

I hope Irene won't get mad when she checks on me later...

"Delicious~" Irene picked up the spoon and lowered her head to take a sip, then raised her eyes and smiled. Even if it was not a feast, the light taste had its own unique flavor.

Seeing that she was satisfied with the food, Fan Wei breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to pick up some food, he suddenly heard a surprised shout.

"What are the two steps of alchemical transmutation?"

"Blackening and redening!"

"Floating above, bonding water and earth, igniting fire, and dividing air, what does it mean?"

"The uniform order of the confusion magic element."

"What will happen if one unit's magic power provides three triggering methods at the same time: airflow, freezing, and burning?"

"It will just burn! Because the fire magic element is the most active."

"Very good, let's eat~"

Irene conducted a surprise inspection like an instructor, and she was very satisfied with the result. Fan Wei was nervous for a while before he dared to touch the chopsticks and asked cautiously.

"Is this... the inspection completed?"

"Of course." She smiled and stretched out her arm to touch his head. "I don't have such high expectations for beginners. It's fine as long as you remember the basic knowledge points and don't make mistakes."

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Maybe... I'm used to it..."

Fan Wei still remembers the "roll call trial" in the classroom in the past. He feels a little scared and a little nostalgic. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you only need to learn clear knowledge to pass it.

It’s really a wonderful thing.

"Boss, you're so annoying! You made me so nervous. I thought I'd get slapped on the hand if I couldn't answer the question well~" Yunxin breathed a sigh of relief and happily picked up her favorite side dish.

Clara also breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Irene would deliberately make things difficult for him, and then in the name of tutoring, she would take the teacher to a small room for a one-on-one test!

"Haha, it's good, actually it's good~"

Fan Wei suddenly sighed, attracting Irene's sidelong glance.

"Why do you look a little sad? What happened?"

"It's not my business, it's just..." Fan Wei relayed the news he heard from Midara, hoping to get some advice from Irene.

"Disaster! The era of turmoil has come again."

Irene didn't seem surprised. "I also heard some news inside the Sage Tower. It's not just Roga's power struggle. The whole continent is in turmoil for some unknown reason."

"But don't worry, with the special features of the Labyrinth Street and the Sage Tower, there will be no problem protecting you~"

Looking at Irene's domineering assurance, Fan Wei smiled and shook his head, "I'm not really worried about myself, I'm just thinking about what to do in the upcoming difficulties..."

"Famine, how many people will starve...Even filling their stomachs...is a luxury..."

Sensing Fan Wei's depression, Irene paused with her hand holding the cutlery, raised it and touched his face, "Then try your best and do it with all your strength!"

“Do what you want to do, don’t be afraid of failure, and I’ll always be there for you!”

There is nothing that is difficult to understand, and there is no need to blame Misler Fan for worrying about people who have nothing to do with him.

To a mature lady, this was indeed childish, but to June Arryn, who liked someone, this was part of the guy she liked, his dazzling personality and charm.

Just like the magic he insists on, letting everyone eat delicious food is his persistence and ideal.

So she had no reason to support.

"Eileen..." Fan Wei's eyes were filled with tears.

"Hurry up and eat! If you have an idea, you should work hard to improve yourself!" Irene scolded. This guy is still like a child who has not grown up.

After being taught a lesson, Fan Wei ate his dinner with great relish. The porridge soup was rich and delicious, filling both his stomach and heart.

Clara bowed her head helplessly, and lost again...

Even without using any despicable means, Irene's brilliance is too dazzling. How could an unknown little "maid" like me win?

Something had to be done...Clara was full of determination.

In the next few days, Fan Wei spent his time training, studying, and opening stores to accumulate honor points.

The rain finally eased a little, and it was time to reunite with my teammates.

"Hehe, I passed the second-level swordsman assessment, and my brother is now an apprentice priest in the temple!" The teammates sat together, Yani raised her teacup and said happily.

Bernoulli scratched his head. "Uncle, I have regained some of my past knowledge, which can be used in water exploration. I hope it is not too rusty."

Norma and Westin said that they had updated their weapons and equipment and their strength had greatly improved.

Soon after entering the second floor, the strength of the Baimu team kept up with the changes in the environment, which allowed them to set their sights further afield.

"Let's try to go out to sea this time." Rody spread out the map.

Since it was almost the end of the year, there was no point in fighting for territory on the safe route.

Moreover, those plots of land often belong to adventurer groups with a large number of people, and only they are suitable for long-term management.

There is really no future for them to stay in the second-level safety route as a team. Exploring the outer foggy area is the most suitable adventure method for them.

"Fan's second target is the Far Water Floating Swamp, right? We can buy a boat and go there."

Because there was no particular goal, everyone thought it would be a good idea to cooperate with Fan Wei's plan.

"Buy a boat? It should be very expensive, right?" Norma was a little worried. After all, the team's income had only increased not long ago, and investing too much at once could easily lead to risks.

"It's not a big ship."

Yani opened the illustrated book she had found and pointed to a page, saying, "My brother and I have considered it for a long time and decided to choose this 'Cavalry' model exploration ship!"

“It has two power modes: sail and high-temperature gas furnace.”

"Although the dwarven equipment is a bit expensive, we have accumulated so much team activity funds for a long time. If we share the money, we can get the full amount with eight gold coins!"

Looking at the exploration ship that was 5.5 meters long and meters wide in the atlas, everyone nodded.

If you think about it carefully, the price of renting a boat is not cheap, and in the future, they may be away for two or three days on adventures, so good enough transportation is also necessary.

"Then it's decided. Our first exploration ship, 'Windward', makes its grand debut!"

Yani raised her fist and named it excitedly.

"I think it should be called 'Water Knight'." Westin objected, "It's both majestic and romantic~"

"Where? Isn't the Pola good? It's the name of the goddess of the sea, so it will definitely be protected by her!"

"We think that the Aolong is not bad either."

"Quack! I'm the captain! I have the final say!!"

Looking at their teammates who were arguing endlessly, Fan Wei and Roddy smiled bitterly at each other.

The naming is still controversial, but there is no doubt that the real adventure has begun!
