Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

The waves hit the side of the ship, and the sound of broken ice could be heard.

Fan Wei stood on the side of the boat, watching the ice crystals blowing in the misty sea fog. The boat he was on went down the river, passing through mountains and plains along the way, entering the sea from the town on the alluvial island, and then winding up north along the coastline.

The scenery of another world finally unfolds before my eyes.

On a snowy winter day, slanting columns of gray smoke rose from most cities and villages. Compared to the maze street, other places in the other world were not that prosperous.

Adventurers are quite rare in other places, but there are more mercenaries.

They use the guild platform as a node and move around, handling some tricky chores for people, or expelling harmful monsters that spread from the maze, or serving as guards for caravans.

They also work as workers during the busy farming season.

Most of the people Fan Wei met on the ship were mercenaries, and they would occasionally go to Maze Street to look for rare materials for their employers.

"Mr. Misr, with your skills, you can definitely make a lot of money wherever you go!"

"Why don't you go to 'Lariroan'? I know a port affairs officer there who can definitely help you find a good location to open a restaurant!" The captain closed his eyes and tasted the soup with a spoon in his hand, then said very seriously.

Most of the interior of a merchant ship is made of wood, which makes it inconvenient to make a fire.

So Fan Wei moved the pot onto the deck, and in the sea breeze and icy mist, he cooked a fragrant thick iron pot stew, which instantly captured the hearts of everyone from sailors to passengers.

As one of the oldest skills of mankind, being able to cook well can get you close to home anywhere, especially if the chef’s skills have surpassed the mortal realm!

If necessary, Fan Wei's cooking skills can do a lot of things, but he almost never really uses them.

"Actually, I was planning to visit the capital of the empire, so I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Captain."

Gently wiping the silver core, putting away the knife, Fan Wei turned his head and smiled. The sea breeze lifted his hair, and he looked handsome and unrestrained among the ice particles sparkling in the sunlight.

Our chef gradually developed a profound temperament, giving people a gentle and profound feeling, which surprised everyone.

"Oh~~~"

Many of the men showed expressions that I understood, while the female mercenaries had regrets in their eyes.

"The noble ladies and rich women of 'Slakolle' are quite famous, Mr. Misle, it is us who have delayed your future!"

"Yes, yes. Not to mention her skills, she can live a life of luxury just based on her looks! I'm so jealous that I can't eat!"

Everyone laughed while holding their bowls. The strangers who met by chance actually sparked a passionate and brilliant spark in their simple relationship. At this time, a young mercenary sister couldn't help but speak out.

"Mr. Fan is not such a superficial person! He is so powerful on his own!"

"It's not what you think at all!"

"Ah! Could it be that Jierla is interested in Mr. Misr?" A mercenary uncle wearing a cotton coat and leather chain mail joked: "Then you have to work very hard!"

"No! It's not...I..."

The mercenary sister who was teased looked at the smiling Fan Wei with a red face. Under the gaze that made her heart beat faster, she shyly ran back to the cabin with the bowl in her arms.

Everyone laughed even louder.

Fan Wei turned his head in the hustle and bustle and looked at the icy blue sea with low fog.

Although his eyes were as calm as ink, his bright pupils seemed to ignite a spark, and he was looking forward to the challenges that were about to arrive.

Whoosh—the sea breeze rose, and the mist parted in the middle like a flapping bird, revealing the blue sky.

The sea in the distance reflects the light of the buildings, and the warm current drives the ice-free port. We have arrived at Lariroan!

clang!clang!clang!

The lighthouse and clock tower built on the promontory extending outward rang the bronze bell forewarning, and ships were moving densely and crowdedly in the wide harbor like returning bees.

Right next to the embankment is a black wall that spans a thousand meters and is as tall as a embankment.

Generally speaking, ports would not build city walls so close to each other for the convenience of transportation, but the Northern Empire did the opposite.

The city walls are lined with slender watchtowers and multi-faceted walls.

It undoubtedly demonstrates its military usefulness.

This is an iron wall that is always on the verge of a fight. It is daunting and brings a cold sense of tension.

"We are getting off the boat." The four members of the Eyes team, who had been sitting quietly in the corner and wearing black robes, stood up to welcome Fan Wei back. As agents, they must not leave too much of an impression on the outside.

"Oh, sorry, I'm a little rushed. See you again someday!"

Waving goodbye to everyone and with the farewells of "see you again if possible" and "keep in touch", Fan Wei and his companions jumped off the plank road near the boat and headed towards the towering city wall along the intricate road.

"Who is Mr. Misr?"

Looking at the backs of the few people walking away, some mercenaries began to speculate. Even though they were talking and laughing, he was naturally experienced from traveling all over the country, and many people could see that Fan Wei was extraordinary.

"It's very simple, just someone from outside the empire." The Captain frowned.

"The imperial people don't have such warm smiles. But the four people around him are real imperial people. Sigh... I hope Mr. Misr can live happily in this cold country."

The fishy smell in the sea breeze gradually faded. Fan Wei was surrounded by four members of the Eye Team and walked forward quickly.

"Everyone, you're all so serious..."

Not to mention the taciturn Ruth and Chloro, even Sylvia, who loves to play badly, has become cold and dangerous, not at all like her lazy self in the past.

It's like he's a completely different person.

"Brother, don't be afraid, we will protect you." Chrollo whispered very seriously.

After passing through the crowded, narrow, and ragged Sailors' Street, Fan Wei and his companions arrived at a wide, short, and tight checkpoint under the black city wall.

There are long queues here. In addition to incoming and outgoing goods, people and even livestock need to be inspected.

"Next, five people? Identity documents! Customs clearance fees!" Seeing the Eye Team, inspectors in black coats surrounded them.

They stared at Fan Wei, feeling uncomfortable.

"Foreigners? Get aside with us." A prosecutor with a weapon on his waist reached out to grab Fan Wei, but Sylvia grabbed his wrist.

"Get out of the way, use your eyes, get out of the way!"

A cold shout came down.

The prosecutor stared at Sylvia for half a minute before he chose to step back under those wooden yet somewhat weird golden eyes.

"One gold coin, or you won't be able to pass."

He shook off Sylvia's hand, straightened his clothes, put his hands behind his back and spoke proudly. The soldiers around him gathered around him.

"These damn guys!" Skava was secretly angry. The struggle between different factions in the empire has always been fierce.

Putting pressure on others is the most direct way to raise your status here, so in the empire, you must follow the rules of the empire!

The pink-purple eyes slowly lit up, and some soldiers suddenly felt great fear and could not help but retreat in panic.

As for why the simpler charm was not used, this ability, which could potentially conceal huge influences, was strictly regulated within the empire.

Skava can't afford the cost of using it.

The inspector was shocked and could not maintain his outward coolness and made way. Just as the Eye Squad was about to pass, suddenly a spear shot at them from the city wall!

Buzz! Chrollo's cape fluttered, and two sickles were extended crosswise on both sides.

In the moment when she couldn't see clearly, she launched dozens of swings, slashing at the spear wrapped in red flames.

A series of black fang-like cuts collided rapidly, and the spear was bounced back instantly, falling into the hands of someone who fell from the sky as if summoned, and then fell heavily to the ground.

A tall woman in black clothes, with long red and black hair braided into pigtails, purple eyes and black lips, stood up, looking both charming and dangerous.

She held the spear in her hand and pointed it at the ground, the tip of the spear gently hitting the ground and making a small hole. "Going wild in my territory? It doesn't matter what your status is."

The dangerous woman's gaze swept across the eye team and fixed her eyes on Fan Wei.

She stuck out her pink tongue to lick her black lips, the tip of the gun pointed directly at Fan Wei, and a cold wind blew in his face.

"I've thought about it, it's okay, leave him to me!"

"Ah? Me?" Before Skava and others could react, the guest from the south showed a clear and stupid smile in the eyes of the imperial people.

"This, this is so embarrassing!"

Fan Wei looked like he had learned something new. "I never expected this! It turns out that the people of the Empire, who are said to be cold and indifferent, are actually so... hospitable!"

(ps It’s almost New Year’s Eve, I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve!

I got home in a hurry and didn't have much time to write, so I had to write a little urgently at night.
