Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

You know, the most profitable and fastest-earning profession in Orario is adventurer.

At the same time, the identity of an adventurer itself is also an identity certificate, which allows one to settle in Orario.

If you don't have the status of an adventurer, you will need to pay a fee whether you want to enter or leave Orario or want to settle down.

In addition, without the identity of an adventurer, even if you kill monsters and obtain magic stones, you cannot sell them. The guild also strictly prohibits this.

In a nutshell, without the identity of an adventurer, it would be much more difficult to live in Orario.

If an ordinary woman is lucky, she can work as a waitress in a pub on the commercial street or as a clerk in a store, but if she is unlucky, she can only end up working as a prostitute on the pleasure street.

As for ordinary men, their situation is even more miserable. Their options are severely restricted. They either have to lower themselves to become supporters and receive low wages, or they can only become slaves.

Under the same conditions, no one would hire an ordinary man.

Because of this, the introduction of this regulation was a huge shock to the lower-level adventurers.

It is no exaggeration to say that after this regulation is implemented, a large number of low-level adventurers will probably escape from Orario.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion and many people present could not help but protest against this new regulation.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic and showing signs of being out of control, Guild Master Loiman had no choice but to come forward and explain himself.

"Actually, this new rule was established by Lord Uranus."

Just this one sentence made everyone present speechless.

Since this rule was made by Uranus, the god of the Adventurer's Guild and one of the greatest gods who built Orario, then there must be a reason for it.

Of course, the more important point is that even if they are dissatisfied with this regulation, they can't do anything or change anything, they can only accept it.

The meeting ended quickly and people dispersed in groups of three or four. Even though most people were extremely dissatisfied, they could only endure it and leave.

After everyone left, Aegina followed Guild Master Loiman to the guild's underground temple.

The dark passage gradually lit up, and at the end of the faint light, a tall platform appeared.

And at the top of the platform, the old man in a black robe was sitting. He was the god of the Adventurer's Guild, Uranus.

Even though this wasn't her first time here, Aegina still wasn't used to it.

This underground temple gave her a very eerie feeling, as if it was an altar used for some kind of ritual.

Especially when you think about it, Uranus has always been sitting on that high platform and has never moved away from this point.

Maybe Uranus has been maintaining some kind of ritual and is unable to leave.

Chapter 84: Doomsday, New Era

"Aegina-kun, you'll have to go on your own ahead. Lord Uranus said he only wants to see you."

Loiman wiped the nervous sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but give another reminder.

"Also, Aegina, please don't say anything that would anger Lord Uranus."

"Then……"

Aegina couldn't stand Loiman's somewhat long-winded instructions and walked straight to the end of the altar.

"Ah... Aina-kun, please be careful with your words and actions."

Looking at Aegina's back, Loiman gave her one last warning before leaving.

After passing through the long and dark passage, Aegina came to the high platform.

"Lord Uranus, I wonder why you sent me this message?"

Aegina raised her head and looked at Uranus on the platform.

"Merlin."

Uranus glanced at Aegina below and uttered a name.

And of course, Aegina was very familiar with this name.

"Yes, Lord Uranus, Merlin is indeed the adventurer I am responsible for. Um... Could it be that Merlin-kun has caused some trouble, so you 067..."

Aina asked nervously, feeling extremely uneasy.

After all, the one sitting there was Uranus, the chief god of the Adventurer's Guild.

He is also the greatest god who created the labyrinth city of Orario.

Facing such a big shot, Aina was naturally extremely nervous.

Especially since the person she cared about was actually being targeted.

"Don't worry, Aegina, it's not the reason you think."

"I called you over here because I wanted to ask you what kind of person the adventurer Merlin is."

Uranus's old and majestic voice echoed above the underground altar.

At the same time, the tension in Aina's heart dissipated a little.

"Huh, so it wasn't Merlin-kun who got into any trouble. Oh no... I wasn't worried about him."

Aina breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest.

But soon, she realized that she had accidentally revealed her true feelings, her pretty face flushed red, and she quickly denied it.

Fortunately, at this moment, Uranus on the platform reminded her again, bringing her thoughts back to reality. (dbfe)

"Ahem, well, I'm very sorry, Lord Uranus. Actually, what Merlin said..."

After Aegina coughed lightly, she immediately told what she knew about Merlin, and added one more sentence at the end.

"Oh, by the way, Merlin-kun is... well, very lecherous, a big pervert."

"The above is my understanding of Merlin-kun. I wonder if it is helpful to you, Lord Uranus."

After saying this, Aegina bowed to Uranus and asked cautiously.

"That's enough. Go down."

"Yes."

After Aegina left, the underground altar was quiet for a moment, and then another voice echoed.

It was a rather neutral, low voice that sounded genderless.

"You like women, don't you? Isn't this just the old saying, heroes love beauties?"

As the voice fell, a man in a black robe with an unclear face appeared next to the platform.

"Fels, do you think that Merlin, a human boy, can usher in the arrival of a new era?"

Uranus's gaze fell on the man in black robe and asked.

"I'm not sure, but Merlin possesses qualities that even the great hero Argo doesn't possess."

"If such a person survives and fully grows up, he will be an extremely astonishing existence."

"What is certain is that Merlin's appearance will bring about tremendous changes and impacts to Orario. Whether this will be good or bad is unknown."

Fels shook his head slightly and spoke in a somewhat ambiguous tone.

He has seen many geniuses, but the number of geniuses who have truly grown up can be said to be very few.

In these eight hundred years, he has witnessed too much.

"Really? No matter what, we don't have much time left."

"In a few years, destruction will come. Before that, we must make the adventurers stronger."

"Only in this way can we prevent destruction."

As Uranus spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on his old face.

"Even if there may be some sacrifices for this, that is inevitable."

"Adventurers, you are too weak. You must..."

Uranus's voice, tinged with sadness, echoed over the underground altar for a long time.

……

After the Adventurer's Guild's meeting ended, the news spread throughout Orario in just half a day.

After all, such things have a huge impact on most adventurers.

Although there are many high-level adventurers in Orario, there are even more low-level adventurers, accounting for two-thirds or even three-quarters.

Among the lower-level adventurers, many are afraid to enter the maze, but they cannot leave Orario because the speed at which Orario makes money is unmatched by any other city.

However, now, with the emergence of this rule, adventurers who want to stay in Orario and not go to the maze will be completely disqualified.

This impact is a huge blow to the weak clan.

At the same time, it is also a huge blow to those clans that produce more auxiliary professions.

Because of this rule, adventurers are forced to enter the maze.

Of course, it’s not just the middle and lower class families who are discussing this matter.

Even the Loki clan, one of the strongest clans in Orario, was discussing this matter.

Because there are also many low-level adventurers in their clan who do not go to the maze.

If this regulation is implemented, this group of lower-level adventurers may also be disqualified.

A commotion spread throughout Orario, and almost everywhere was discussing the guild change.

However, within the Hestia family, which is also a weak and inferior family, there is no tension at all.

Merlin is currently making the most critical energy core of the Iron Man suit.

After two or three days of research, Merlin has already made several other parts of the iron armor, but the most critical energy core has not yet been found.

The ultimate reason was that he wanted to make the best one, so he wasted a lot of time.

Furthermore, after upgrading to LV2, the new skill he acquired also added new possibilities to alchemy.

Chapter 85 Lily's First Time

In this world, when everyone's level is promoted, they will gain a corresponding skill based on their own ability value and the great deeds they have accumulated before.

Although the appearance of skills follows certain patterns, extremely rare skills will occasionally appear.

The skill that Merlin obtained is also a rare skill.

After all, just from the name of the skill, Merlin realized that perhaps only he, who possessed alchemy, could obtain this skill.

[Alchemy Mutation]: After a certain number of items are crafted continuously, the mutation mechanism will be triggered, and a new skill will be added on top of the original one.

Of course, in addition to this new skill, after upgrading to LV2, the ability values ​​in all aspects are also greatly improved.

[Name]: Merlin (Human)

[Ability Value]: Strength 200, Durability 230, Dexterity 300, Agility 300, Magic 200]

[Skills]: ~Alchemy, Alchemical Mutation

However, according to his observation, after a level is promoted, the ability value of the previous level will be cleared, or in other words, hidden.

This point is also explained in the Adventurer's Handbook.

Of course, Merlin didn't care too much about the hidden ability values.

After all, even if his overall ability score is S+ at level 1, it is meaningless when facing enemies that are several levels higher than him.

What's more, alchemists don't make a living by their abilities.

"As for the energy core, the previous energy block had too low a sustainability. It would be best if it could provide continuous energy, at least for a week."

"It can sustain the Iron Armor for a week. If the Magic Gun Wielder's weapon is added, the energy consumption will increase significantly."

"A simple energy block made of magic stone and mithril cannot provide this kind of energy."

Merlin frowned, searching among the recorded high-efficiency materials for the basis for completing the energy core.

In the past few days, he also tried to use the magic stone of deep monsters.

However, the magic stone of such a monster could not withstand the high load of continuous energy supply, and the longest it could last was only twenty-four hours before it completely collapsed.
