The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

Free City, near the tower.

Although several professionals ran and shouted, it was actually of little use.

There is no human habitation for more than ten kilometers around the tower.

There are also high walls blocking the way, so ordinary people can't get close.

Passing through the high wall all the way, outside is the bustling main city of Freedom Capital.

"Rude."

An old man sat in a high-end teahouse by the roadside, frowning slightly.

It wasn't until several professionals who had caused the commotion left that they elegantly picked up the exquisite tea cups on the luxurious gold-inlaid marble table and savored the mother tree black tea from the Elf Forest.

"The president is so right."

The president's assistant next to him actually didn't hear the noise outside at all.

In this kind of high-end place, sound insulation array is almost standard.

Several adventurers ran all the way, wherever they passed...

No different from usual...

Most of the main city is made up of old nobles who have lived here since the establishment of the Free City.

They knew exactly what was within the walls.

For nearly a hundred years, the inside of the high wall has been a place where noble children were gilded.

As long as you go in and stay for a month, you can say that if you stay in the dangerous rift for a month, you will make a lot of money.

Nowadays, if you want to go to guard the cracks in the high wall, you still need to make a reservation.

The price is not low.

Several professionals ran panting all the way to the guild headquarters, trying to get to the president's office.

But before he could go upstairs, he was stopped.

"You three professionals, do you have an invitation letter from the president? An appointment letter will also do." A female waiter showed a standard smile.

"We have something important to report." The professional explained anxiously.

"Then you can go to the front desk to make a reservation first~"

"Do I have to make an appointment to see you?"

"You can't see me without making an appointment, adventurer-sama~ This way please..."

Several adventurers were led by the waiter to sit on the stools at the front desk in a daze.

"Please show me the soul crystal card first."

The professional quickly took out the crystal card and took the thick form handed over by the waiter.

"Master professional, please fill in the form first."

"..." The professional filled it out, feeling something was wrong.

I have something important to report regarding the survival of the Free City! Do they have time to fill out the form?

"I really have something important to report! It is related to the survival of the Free City!" The professional put down the pen and paper in his hand, looking anxious.

The face of the waiter in front of him became much more serious.

"Then you can report to the president's assistant first~"

"Where is the president's assistant now?"

"Sorry, we have no right to know the whereabouts of the president's assistant."

"..."

The professional now feels chest tightness and shortness of breath.

"Then how do you report it?"

"Can you fill out a form first~" The waiter pulled out a thin form from the counter.

"..."

The few adventurers who filled out the form and left the headquarters suddenly felt that the matter was not that serious.

It feels like I reported it, but it seems like I didn’t report it...

So what are you going to do next?

I heard from the waiter that he and the others should wait for three working days. There are still many dinner reservations from nobles ahead of them and they need to queue up...

Although several of them have repeatedly emphasized that it is about the survival of the Free City and the expansion of the rift, their own strength does not seem to be convincing...

In addition, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that the crack would actually get bigger...

"How about reporting to the construction team first?"

The others rolled their eyes.

If the top management of the construction team pays attention, the important task of repairing the central tower will not fall on these ten junior and intermediate professionals.

As for reporting to the royal family, even if they wanted to, it would be useless. They couldn't even get close to the gate of the imperial city...

...

Time flew by and three days passed.

Several professionals came to the guild again, and then received some deceptive news.

Another noble heir wants to compete for the position of head of the family, so he spends a lot of money to jump in line and invite the president's assistant to dinner.

"..."

"Is the President here now?" the professionals asked feebly.

"Yes, Mr. Professional, please present your invitation letter or appointment letter."

"..."

It’s okay to wait in this fucking city of freedom.

Several professionals are already preparing to spend money to move to Yanling Empire.

If we continue at this pace, I still don't know if I can report the news to the president this month...

After that, the president will report to the Military and Administrative Office, and the Military and Administrative Office will report to the Central Office. Finally, it will be approved by the King, and then the Military and Administrative Office will send out strong men...

Strong people may not be willing to go...

After all, compared to other empires, most of the resources in the Free City are monopolized by the nobles.

Therefore, [-]% of the powerful people in the Free City are nobles, and [-]% are also related to the nobles.

As for the life of civilians in the Free City being richer than in other empires, it can only be said that strength comes in exchange...

...

Castlevania Rift, Lich Tower.

Several lichs were busy going back and forth among the piles of bottles and jars.

As the wisdom of the entire demon world, they will never get tired of research and alchemy.

Liches even value academics more than life...

"The sixth segment of the tail of the seven-eyed black-bellied rat does promote hair growth..."

As a lich exclaimed, the busy lichs around him suddenly stopped.

"How's the effect?"

Looking at the other lichs gathered around, the lich responsible for studying the seven-eyed black-bellied rat was embarrassed.

"Only promotes growth, not hair."

The other lichs were immediately disappointed. Sure enough, they were overthinking...

This topic has been studied for thousands of years, how can it be so easy to succeed...

Among the Lich clan, hair loss and aging are their eternal pain.

Hair and beauty seem to be the price of wisdom and longevity.

Regardless of men or women, hair loss and aging begin before adulthood, and the hair loss only occurs on the top of the head. Before the age of thirty, the appearance becomes haggard and skinny...

If any lich has beautiful long hair, it goes without saying that it is a wig.

Because the hair of a precocious lich who reaches adulthood at the age of six cannot grow that long at all...

Since they returned from the rift a few days ago, they have thrown aside the spell to open the rift.

It's not that important after all.

I don’t know why, but their city lord suddenly mentioned it recently, otherwise they felt that it would be no problem to study it for a few more years.

But now that it was completed, no one came to pick it up, which made them very unhappy.

I took an extra hour every day to study hair technology and create cracks...

The results were not taken seriously.

Naturally, they didn't bother to deliver it out.

I'll just leave it here. As for when someone comes to ask for it, just go get it yourself...

...

On the fifth floor of the Immortal Maze, in the fluorescent spore block, under the giant dark red door.

After the adventurer summoned the leader Big Rock Snake last time, he changed a new passage and continued exploring.

The original passage was basically useless.

Adventurers who enter will only die.

But luckily, there are two more caves in this new fluorescent spore passage.

Mining efficiency is greatly improved.

In just over half a month, I saved four sets of life sets and a dozen sets of light sets.

After the life set is completed, a total of extra health points will be added, 60 points of life will be restored, and [-] points of magic will be restored.

The five-piece special suit effect doubles life recovery.

There is not much difference between different professions.

The light set has 9000 extra health points, and 19 points of life and mana recovery each.

The five-piece set comes with lighting effects and increases additional damage to evil creatures by 10%.

"almost…"

"Let's go, if we continue to delay, we will have a celebration banquet in the dark."

The words of the leader of the god-level orcs encouraged the rest of the people, and the atmosphere became quite heated.

This time the team was led by six god-level adventurers from the five empires.

Two orcs and one from each of the other four empires.

As the six people led by him pushed open the giant door.

What you see in front of you is a large, rugged land covered with mushrooms. Half a meter below the ground are dust-like spore particles suspended in mid-air...

Although the mushroom forest is much sparser compared to the outside, the diameter and height of the mushrooms are several times that of the outside.

But everyone continued to shuttle through the mushroom jungle for more than half an hour.

There was no trace of the monster on the dark red giant door.

"Isn't that right?"

"It stands to reason that he should have appeared a long time ago?"

One of the demigod adventurers walking behind asked in confusion.

"really..."

"Fuck! Who are you!" The adventurer next to him agreed at first, but then suddenly came back to his senses.

"I'm Reeves...uh...who are you riding a horse on?"

The adventurer who spoke first didn't come back to his senses. He answered subconsciously and then looked confused...

The people in front suddenly heard two identical voices arguing.

He turned his head in doubt, and then Eleven looked confused.

When did a twelve-man squad become a thirteen-man squad?

"You damn fake!" Reeves was the first to speak, without saying a word, he drew his sword and struck.

The other Reeves hurriedly turned around and blocked it with his sword, then launched a direct slash with his sword.

"Boo!" "Clang!"

The gorgeous sword light, which was more than ten meters long, flashed away, and another Reeves blocked it awkwardly. His whole body was immediately split more than thirty meters, hit the handle of a giant mushroom, vomited a mouthful of blood, and bounced to the ground.

Seeing that the blow hit, Reeves drew his sword and struck, naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.

A displacement appeared directly on the head of Reeves, who was injured after pouring life potion.

"boom!"

A blue-green sword light from top to bottom struck hard at the injured Reeves' original position.

Reeves, who was still pouring the potion, ducked away in confusion.

The nearly [-]-meter-high mushroom handle behind him was immediately separated from the middle by a sword. The sword energy flew back through the mushroom handle for more than ten meters before dissipating.

"Damn it, you faker, you really think I'm easy to bully, don't you!" The injured Reeves roared angrily and sheathed his knife.

"Draw the knife and cut!"

"Boo!" "Clang!"

The other Reeves flew out in embarrassment.

......

"Stop!" Everyone who reacted quickly stopped him.

"I want to stop too, but this guy won't stop!" One of them, Reeves, moved to avoid the opponent's knife and stabbed him in the back with his backhand.

"You fart! It's obviously you who didn't stop!" The other Reeves turned around and avoided fatal injuries, leaving a bone-deep wound on his arm.

While moving to dodge, he poured the potion vigorously. After recovering from his injuries, he turned around and slashed the other Reeves in the thigh.

It doesn’t matter if the teammates around you are helping, or if they don’t.

The main reason is that they can't tell which one is real.

After all, these people only have a temporary team relationship with Reeves.

And no one dared to come close to stop him.

Who knows if one of them will get violent and hurt someone.

"What did we have for lunch yesterday?"

One of the adventurers thought it could still be saved...

But the two Reeves almost said in unison: "I don't know what I am doing. We didn't eat together."

"You ride on the horse and imitate me!" The two Reeves spoke at the same time again.

"You still need to learn!" the two Reeves said in unison.

"..." The other adventurers were numb.

"Would you like to ask for more privacy? Um, okay, it doesn't look like you need to, I already know."

The adventurer wanted to speak, but then he saw that one Reeves had penetrated the other Reeves' chest with his sword.

There, Weiss fell to the ground, pointing tremblingly at the opponent.

"He's fake! Look at his wounds..."

Sure enough, in addition to the bones that can be seen in the other Reeves' wound, the blood is emitting a bright blue light, and there is also a small amount of hyphae in the injured incision...

Several people almost subconsciously focused their fire and killed the other one.

Then the two Reeves turned into mushroom men at the same time and rushed towards everyone.

The god-level elf warrior drew his bow and charged up, one mushroom man and one arrow, and the two mushroom men were teleported out at the same time.

"..." The adventurer always felt that something was wrong, why did he feel that the one he attacked was the real one...

It seems that the blood emits fluorescence and hyphae, which all adventurers infected with fungal spores must have...

Apart from anything else, each one of them now has fluorescent blood.

"Get closer and take a look... always be careful."

"No, be careful!" Just as he approached the ten-meter range, a sword-drawing slash of twenty or thirty meters came from his side.

The scene suddenly fell into chaos, leaving the eleven adventurers in a mess.

Then there is no more.

As they were getting ready for battle, they suddenly felt something was wrong again.

Why the hell is there another adventurer? ! Is it over yet?

Everyone immediately jumped away.

The two adventurers with shields holding the buffalo's heads were left looking at each other.

The two god-level orcs didn't hesitate at all, and instantly knocked one of the tauren away with a knife and a claw.

Under the combined force, it flew hundreds of meters and crashed through three giant mushrooms before stopping.

"We have a secret code, he is a fake, hit him!"

The other adventurers suddenly realized, and while the monster didn't get up, they quickly exchanged secret signals, and then the melee adventurers rushed forward.

The body of the Germspeaker Lord who was knocked away seemed to have no flesh and bones, and was twisted into a very strange posture.

The extra long bow in my hand was fully drawn at some point.

"Boo!" "Hi!"

An adventurer didn't expect that the other party could use a bow and arrow. He couldn't dodge and was hit by an arrow in the right chest, sending him flying backwards.

Several adventurers didn't care about rescue and activated their skills almost at the same time...

"Chong!"

The long bow originally held by the Germ Whisperer changed and grew rapidly, and was replaced by a shield in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by the harsh sound of metal friction and the sound of breaking wind, the germspeaker holding a giant shield was pushed back forty or fifty meters by the powerful impact.

Under his feet were deep marks plowed out by the shield stuck in the ground.

...

As time passed, the adventurers in the lord's room completely broke through.

They feel that this is not fighting monsters at all, but simply fighting an enhanced version of themselves.

This guy can also transform into his teammate from time to time during the melee, and he can't tell the difference between them.

The secret code is quickly learned...

In less than an hour, there were only two identical strong bear men left in the entire lord's room.

If you want to use three words to describe the mood of the strong bear man now, it can only be - breaking the defense.

The opponent's hand also has sharp claw blades, but the opponent's skills are smoother than his own.

Moreover, the opponent obviously deliberately used equal strength to fight him.

What matters is fairness and justice, but the problem is that I can’t beat him!

The battle lasted another seven or eight minutes, and by this time the bear adventurer was covered in blood and scarred.

"Die, you fake!"

"Hey!" A sharp claw penetrated directly through the chest of the bear-man strongman who was already at the end of his crossbow.

"?" The bear man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Are you pretending to be addicted to riding a horse?

Who is it true that he didn’t count to 13?

"Chi~" Along with the sound of blood and muscle tearing, a bear adventurer pulled out the arm of another bear adventurer from the chest.

The last thing the fallen bear adventurer saw was "himself" with his chest pounding in excitement and roaring to the sky?

"..."

Is this the celebration you see after every battle from the perspective of a corpse?

Just like a fucking fool...

So fucking embarrassing...

...
