Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 344 Planning and Difficulties

It snowed again last night, and columns of smoke rose from the vast clock face of the imperial capital as usual.

The sky was gray and the streets were sparsely populated.

Fan Wei, wearing an Empire-style black coat, sat in the carriage and thought about his next action plan. His original purpose of coming to the Empire had been achieved.

The Eye Team is out of danger and is currently resting.

For safety reasons, Fan Wei did not contact them for the time being.

After all, he can be said to be on the side of the eldest prince now, and has frequent contacts with the spies of the Tong Agency. It is easy for him to drag the four people who have finally escaped from the vortex into the danger of power struggle again.

Although he has no political ambitions, Fan Wei has always been sensitive to danger.

There are more than just benefits to be gained from contact with the powerful.

If there is anything that can best describe the color of power in the feudal era, it is probably gold coated with blood! Especially in the struggle for imperial power, every step is to sacrifice souls and lives!

It seems that after coming into contact with Delain, Fan Wei quickly became a celebrity.

But he also knew that trouble would probably come soon.

Fan Wei did not regret it, because he took the initiative to do all this! In addition to helping Chloro and his friends, his second purpose in coming to the imperial capital was to stop the war!

War is a national event, and war reports are circulating everywhere in the imperial capital.

The increasingly impoverished Kingdom of Loga was completely unable to resist the assembled imperial army. It was said that several cities were quickly captured within a few days and a quarter of its territory had been lost.

If all the fortresses in the north are breached, the Royal City and the Maze Street will soon follow suit.

The Empire's war style is very violent! They don't aim for economic gain at all, and they just sweep the enemy with a destructive attitude!

All the supplies were absorbed, and all the people were killed! They became sacrifices to the God of War!

Only a few lucky or special people would be selected and transported to the imperial cities as materials or slaves.

The damage caused by a war is no less than that caused by a natural disaster.

Facing such a disaster, it was difficult for Fan Wei to stand aside and watch, as those were all his potential customers! To this day, it is still his dream to open restaurants all over the world.

It would be terrible if all customers died just after the dream started!

So Fan Wei could not agree, he wanted to stop the crazy pace of war!

But how can one person fight against the entire fanatical empire? He is not a god, nor is he a strong man who can trample the world under his feet! How can he do it?

The answer is to attack the throne directly!

After careful consideration, Fan Wei felt that it was a bit difficult to seize the throne by force, so his idea was to use his own power to support an emperor who would change his attitude towards the war.

De Rhein is a good fit.

It was not fate that brought him and Fan Wei together. As a person in a high position, he was willing to put aside his airs and recruit talents in an unconventional way. This character has set him apart from his other brothers and sisters.

It can be said that the eldest prince is the most rational of all the crown princes.

His way of thinking is even somewhat like that of a "Southerner". Between force and interests, he would consider interests as the fundamental priority. This is why Fan Wei decided to choose De Rhine.

This is the plan, now we need to execute it.

Fan Wei understood that his current influence was not enough to make any significant impact in the fight for the throne, and he needed to win over more people and power.

This inevitably requires spreading one's own influence, or in other words, establishing one's own organization!

"Mr. Misler, we've arrived at the Imperial Capital Commercial Administration Office." The carriage stopped, and the butler assistant sent by the eldest prince knocked on the door meticulously and reminded through the small faucet-shaped loudspeaker on the door.

"Thank you, please."

After opening the door, Fan Wei walked out and looked up at the spherical building in front of him. His first step was still the same as before, to open a restaurant.

After all, the system only recognizes this...

But the form is not just self-service, it is further divided into multiple levels to expand influence while making as much money as possible.

After all, any plan cannot be separated from financial support.

It is true that money is the foundation of all social activities.

The eldest prince has some assets, so he can easily take out a hundred gold coins, but if he wants to expand it to the level of power, that will not be enough. He must have a small gold mountain to support himself before he can talk about doing big things!

Fan Wei also had no money, so all his assets were left in Maze Street and used to do good things for the benefit of society.

After coming to the empire alone, he is now incorruptible and upright.

So making money is the top priority, and Fan Wei went directly to De Rhine to discuss.

After hearing his plan, the eldest prince was shocked, and then excitedly said that he regretted not meeting him earlier! Why didn't he think of such a good idea?

After fully supporting Fan Wei's plan and providing the start-up capital, Delain looked at Misl Fan mysteriously and ran away, thinking about something.

Now Fan Wei has come to the Imperial Commercial Management Office, preparing to register for business qualifications and take the first step towards becoming a catering tycoon in the imperial capital!

Then, he was turned away...

"Mr. Misler, with your identity, you are not qualified to conduct business activities in the empire." The clerk at the counter picked up the information form and came back with the rejection message within a few minutes after entering the office.

Even if the assistant steward of the manor showed Delain's personal emblem on his body and even stuffed some golden things on it, it was of no use.

This was an unusual rejection.

At this moment, in the office of the General Department of Commercial Management, an official was holding Fan Wei's information and showing a somewhat malicious smile.

The management system of the imperial capital has been mentioned before. Apart from the imperial palace being the boss, other aspects are divided into many factions with distinct banners, and the palace is not monolithic either.

This leads to the situation that each mountain actually has its own master.

The Commercial Administration Bureau is not De Rhine's territory, but is under the protection of his royal sister. After Fan Wei became famous, the princess learned of his existence and planned to make trouble for her brother.

The likes and dislikes of the upper echelons are immediately known to those below them, and are fiercely speculated upon.

So Fan Wei was in a difficult situation. The people from the Commercial Management Office used detailed rules that were never used in normal times to block him and prevent him from getting what he wanted.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Misr, but I'm afraid we're having a hard time."

The assistant butler had an unpleasant look on his face, feeling that he had lost face in front of the master's guests, but he had no other choice. By the time De Rhine's connections started to blame him, it would be too late.

"I don't think they will say anything final." Fan Wei thought for a moment and made his judgment.

There are no fools who can get along in the power field. It is difficult for others, but there must be no handle left! What the General Department of Commerce did was indeed in accordance with the regulations, but in the most stringent way.

If the most stringent conditions can be met, perhaps they will shut up.

"Ask for a solution."

There are many things in the world that cannot be solved directly by force. This time, Fan Wei may need to use his wisdom to solve it!

————————————————I am the dividing line—————————————————

After finding the clerk who was vague and evasive in his answers and clarifying all the conditions for obtaining a license, Fan Wei walked out of the General Business Administration Office holding a scroll, reading and pondering as he walked.

"Mr. Misr, do you need to go back and ask His Royal Highness for help?"

The assistant housekeeper, feeling that he had failed in his duty, asked seriously.

But Fan Wei smiled and shook his head, "His Highness Delain also has a lot of things to do. It's just a small matter, I can handle it myself."

Although it might be convenient to speak directly, the Northern Empire has always put strength first.

If someone needs help in everything, then no matter how capable he is, he will be just like a vase in the eyes of others and will not be truly valued or respected.

Therefore, not accepting help and handling things independently is also an opportunity to demonstrate your ability and strength.

"Well, the conditions are proof of strength of at least level 30, a property worth at least 20 gold coins, a letter of introduction, and joining a formal imperial organization."

"The requirements are really strict." Fan Wei put away the scroll and turned to the assistant housekeeper.

"I will be acting alone for the next period of time. You should go back to the manor first."

Without waiting for a reply, in front of the somewhat surprised look of the housekeeper's assistant, Fan Wei jumped up, stepped on the wall and leaped onto the roof of the street, then walked away into the distance on the rustling snow.

'Rooftop Guest', the way the powerful in the imperial capital travel! It's a unique feeling to walk.

In the drifting snow and wind, Fan Wei was like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, the corners of his clothes swaying in the cold wind, his feet crushing the snow, flying over the high and low sloping roofs, and swooping down like a soaring falcon!

Crossing the second zone and the minute hand zone, from the first floor of the basin directly to 1,500 meters underground!

The bridgehead of the labyrinth known as the Zone of Time.

The style here is completely different from the one above. Thick and solid square buildings are closely arranged, and are all built with a black rock that is as hard as iron.

Snowflakes can no longer fall here, and even the light is weak. The heat emitted by various equipment and houses turns the ice crystals into a dark drizzle.

While flying, Fan Wei suddenly looked sideways and saw someone moving quickly on the roof of a house on the side.

The man wore a gorgeous top hat with its brim decorated with gems and metal buds, and his black suit was embellished with blue ribbons and various badges.

A flashy and romantic style that is out of tune with the ordinary is highlighted in the dark 'hour hand' area.

The man's long golden hair fluttered in the air as he flew. He also saw Fan Wei and saluted gracefully from a distance with a smile on his face while running.

Looking closely, I found that it was a handsome man with long hair, and there were many people chasing him.

But most of them have been left far behind, and only a few are holding on tightly.

"Catch him! Duke Gekam has a big reward!" Those who couldn't catch up shouted at Fan Wei.

Fan Wei was too lazy to care about this trivial matter. Anyway, his destination was almost reached, so he stopped on a small black water tower and watched a group of people flying in the air.

"Brother, you are so loyal! Help me stop them, and I will give you half of the profits~"

He had no intention of getting involved, but the man in a tall hat and suit not far from Fan Wei suddenly spoke to him and threw something out.

Fan Wei subconsciously looked over and saw a dark red spot on the long-haired man's chest, as if he was injured.

But he still had a smile on his face, full of grace.

Two of the people who were chasing him stopped and blocked Fan Wei. They were stunned for a moment, and then the parties who had turned from passers-by to participants reacted.

Shit! The trouble has been diverted to someone else!

"I have nothing to do with him." Fan Wei explained to avoid misunderstanding.

He glanced at the object that had just fallen and found it was a distinctive golden rose and blue top hat badge, about the size of the palm of his hand.

"No matter what, come with us to see the Duke!"

The two men who stopped did not listen to Fan Wei's explanation at all, and attacked him directly, hitting the parts of his body that were not fatal but would make the person lose the ability to move.

Bang! Fan Wei didn't waste any words and punched him.

Do you really think he is made of paper?

The fist carrying the cyclone made a dull sound, and the faces of the two attacking Northern Empire strong men changed. The next moment, one of them was knocked out and fell from the roof to the alley below.

The other man had a ferocious look on his face. He formed jagged ice on his hand axe and chopped it down with cold air.

Fan Wei didn't tolerate him either. He shook his shoulder violently, and with his other fist, the golden sun god fire ignited. He smashed the hand axe and the broken ice together at the attacker's face!

He somersaulted in the air before falling in a parabola.

Hooking his fingers, he picked up the badge with the magician's hand and put it into his pocket. Then Fan Wei jumped off the roof and picked up the two strong men one by one.

Only his height is impressive enough in the Northern Empire. If Irene came here, it would be like entering a land of giants.

He found a corner and poured some ice water on their faces.

Seeing them wake up dazed, Fan Wei asked directly, "Who are you chasing? What does it have to do with that duke?"

The two strong men hesitated for a while, and when they realized that they were opponents they could not defeat, they lowered their heads and answered honestly.

"You don't know Arica Belon? That flower thief who is nothing but a show-off stole the Duke's treasure! And..."

"What else?"

It seemed like an accidental slip of the tongue. Fan Wei was surprised to see that the two looked embarrassed. They looked at each other and squeezed out the words from between their teeth, "I also slept with the Duke's cousin! And his daughter..."

"Fuck! Scumbag!"

Suddenly regretting not taking action just now, Fan Wei exclaimed, this guy who tramples on the innocence of others should really be sentenced!

"So you want to kill him?"

"No, actually...there is no consensus in the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's cousin and daughter are arguing, and both want to take Aricabern for themselves."

"Yes, that pretty boy relies on women to escape! If the Duchess hadn't stopped him, we would have caught him long ago!"

Looking at the two sturdy guards who were filled with righteous indignation, Fan Wei was speechless for a moment.

He thought he was a flower thief, but he turned out to be a heart thief! He captured the hearts of many noble ladies at the same time.

Damn it! He almost sympathized with the guards.

How can there be such a successful man in the world!

"Since it's a misunderstanding, can you please let us go?" the guard asked after giving his instructions. The Northern Empire people's begging for mercy was full of toughness.

Fan Wei thought about it and looked up at the sky below the deep pit at an altitude of minus 1,500 meters.

Under the somewhat gloomy sky, a towering tower stands majestically.

Compared to the maze street where adventurers' levels are determined by assessments by professional guilds and points earned by completing tasks, the strength measurement in the imperial capital is simpler and more specific.

Chong Tower, this tall tower dropped from the sky by the God of War, has a total of one hundred floors.

The number of floors you can reach indicates how high your level is, and the judging criteria seem to be somewhat different. In addition to physical attributes, it focuses more on combat ability.

"This is my first time here, so I'm not very familiar with it. You guys should know about that tower."

Smiling at the two people who were wary, Fan Wei found a ready-made guide and said, "Come with me, tell me some information, and I'll let you go."

That's all?

The two who had thought they would be asked serious questions breathed a sigh of relief. Every professional in the empire was familiar with the battle tower.

Not only because of its authority, but also because...

The God of War’s reward to challengers!
