Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Where there are people, there is demand, and where there is demand, there is business.

With the booming business, merchants naturally came.

In this area where the moon tree died, huge roots formed underwater mines and mazes. Adventurers, armed with weapons and pickaxes, fought monsters underwater while mining for valuable "gold".

Treasures attract buyers to come to the first scene at risk, buy the treasures at the source price, and then use the materials and services they bring to make back the money they gave out from the adventurers' fingers.

That’s how Stump Market came to be.

As the name suggests, it is a complex of buildings built on the large square-like cross-section of a fallen moon tree.

The powerless dark blue dead moon wood provides ample building materials. In the gloomy sky, a large area of ​​buildings extends from the tree stumps more than ten meters high to the water surface, emitting bright orange-red lights like stars.

It adds a touch of human civilization to the vast maze of waters.

"Exploration ship? I was so excited for nothing. I thought the merchant ships outside were bringing supplies again." The porter sitting on the platform at the dock burped, then shook his head in disappointment at the incoming ship.

"Adventurers, you only know how to snatch our wine~"

"Hey, you call yourself an adventurer, don't you?" The companions in sleeveless shorts laughed and joked, "Why don't you call yourself an adventurer now?"

The porter took a big gulp, shook his head and smiled: "That was in the past..."

"I used to be a great adventurer, until I got hit in the knee by a triggerfish."

There was another round of noisy laughter on the dock.

Fan Wei and his crew parked the boat and prepared to go to a nearby tavern to inquire for information. This was a vast area with a radius of more than ten kilometers. If they didn't narrow the scope, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to catch a small fish.

"I didn't expect there would be ordinary people in the maze."

Irene looked at the busy stalls and the people coming and going around her, and whispered in a curious tone, "I remember that the guild and the nobles have issued decrees prohibiting ordinary people from working outside the Adventurer's Market."

Although it seems like a restriction, this law is actually more about protecting the safety of ordinary people.

Low-level or even novice adventurers may seem very weak, but that is only to monsters. In ordinary battles, a novice adventurer can at least defeat three or four ordinary people with his bare hands.

If they are armed, it will be a completely one-sided massacre, not to mention the various skills.

Therefore, letting ordinary people go deep into a maze where there are a large number of monsters is undoubtedly asking for death, not to mention that the gap in power makes many adventurers discriminate against them.

Cases of using ordinary people as slaves and exploration tools were not uncommon in the past.

After an imperfect system led to shocking casualties among ordinary people during maze exploration, guilds and most countries issued strict laws prohibiting anyone other than professionals from going deep into the maze.

But this doesn't seem to be the case at this tree stump market.

"Huh, little Irene is really a researcher. She doesn't know much about the world."

Curling up the corners of his mouth, Vilolinka smiled faintly and said, "For the sake of profit, businessmen can do anything. For the sake of survival, what risks will people not dare to take?"

"This is a very complicated relationship, so even if the guild knows about it, it will turn a blind eye to some issues."

Compared to Irene who graduated from an academy, Vilolinka is more like a grassroots. Although she was born into a noble family, it did not bring any help, but instead endless hardships and obstacles.

He started out as an adventurer, saving money, becoming a scholar, and then through hard work and means, he became a famous magician, and was eventually promoted to the head of the Potions Department.

In terms of experience and vision, Vilolinka is probably unique among the group.

But complex social issues were not the focus of today's research, so everyone found a large bar to gather information.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of noise and alcohol hit him in the face. The adventurer, who was drinking heavily, whistled loudly when he saw the five people coming in.

"Huh, little brother, there are so many people in the team~ It must be very hard for you to work normally, right?"

A drunk female adventurer who looked like a fighter asked in a slick tone, extending her hand to a handsome man, "Why don't you come to my team and let me give you a good vacation~"

Hmm? The adventurers here are really enthusiastic. Fan Wei, who was greeted, smiled awkwardly and said, "It's not that hard~"

"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter in the bar.

They made frivolous jokes about this team of silly-looking guys, especially Vilolinka, who had the most eye-catching physique, and Fan Wei, whose positioning seemed quite special. They were amazed and commented on them.

Some people even bet on how many times this handsome guy can last at most.

Feeling the rising hostility, Fan Wei slowly frowned. This place seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

"Bang!" The female adventurer who was still trying to make a joke flew out and hit the wall hard, knocking her unconscious. The department head casually pointed his staff.

Psychic Scream! Mass Fear! Hysteresis Aura! Whip of Intimidation!

The guys who were originally full of playful expressions were struck by lightning, as if they were suddenly facing a supreme predator. They trembled all over, and some even fainted on the ground.

The bar suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. There was no laughter or jokes anymore.

"Oh, I miss it so much. The days of hanging out in bars every two or three days and killing a few chatterboxes are long gone."

Vilolinka smiled happily, used magic to clear a table, and summoned chairs for several people to sit down.

She knocked on the table, straightened her back, and the extremely nervous bartender forced a stiff smile, walked over mechanically and bowed, "How can I help you, dear ma'am?"

"A bottle of Hedland's Don Snow Wine, a glass of pure malt, I'll mix it myself, and give them some juice for the rest."

"Sorry, we don't have any juice here..."

"Tea and coffee, do you need me to teach you?" Vilolinka threw a silver coin and said he was bored. The bartender nodded repeatedly.

"Little Misil is still too naive. Don't come to places like this anymore."

With a smile, Verolinka slapped another silver coin on the table and raised his voice, "I want to know the information about all the Luna fishes. The one who satisfies me the most can take the silver coin."

It was only then that the people in the bar felt the force acting on them disappear.

"Gulp", the sound of swallowing saliva came one after another, this is a tough guy!

It was not until the bartender had served all the drinks and appetizers that someone came up tremblingly and spoke carefully.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was not an adventurer, but an ordinary person. He bowed humbly, and after thinking for a long time, he whispered: "Adventurer, I have seen something that looks like a moon fish."

"It's a diving platform northwest of the stump. When the sun is completely dark, in the dark water..."

"It's the same color as moonlight."
