I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

The dwarf's mechanism technique also has a hint of what I'm thinking about.

As the steps below the wine cellar continued to extend downward, the group gradually entered the outskirts of the underground city Snow.

Although Chen Zhou had fantasized about dungeon exploration in the magical world countless times before, after actually immersing himself in the underground, he realized that it would be almost impossible for Asta to create a regular underground city like the one in the game. Possible feat.

Because of this, the environment in the dungeon is actually quite bad.

The pitted walls seem to have not been repaired for hundreds of years. Dust, sand and gravel are everywhere, as well as insects and algae that breed due to moisture. Occasionally, you have to walk through the road where the feces of bats or other small creatures are accumulated. If you are not careful, insects will get in. The thrilling experience of stepping into shoes.

If the group had not prepared spells to provide fresh air, they would have been defeated by the environment just outside Snow Dungeon.

The monster was not seen for the time being. After all, this is an underground city where humans live.

But exploring is like being in prison.

"Dungeons, monster lairs, and underground spaces created by natural phenomena are the main components of dungeons on the main material plane."

The core of the underground city lies not in the "city" but in the "underground".

Although it is a bit cliché, only powerful spellcasters (or similar races) are qualified to build a neat and orderly dungeon underground, or create some landscapes through natural caves.

This was something that Astha was scarce.

Fortunately, Chen Zhou was the spell caster and directly cast the "flying spell" on himself, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

After a while, this privately maintained trail merged into an official road, and the original prison-like experience was slightly improved - at least the ground was a little smoother.

"According to the map, we need to go to the steam platform and go directly underground. Do you need my help to show the way?"

Xiao Hei, who had already registered himself the moment he picked up the map, tried to provide navigation.

"So much needed."

I never expected that I could enjoy the automatic path finding function in a place like this.

With the assistance of the Auto-Gnome, the group arrived at the so-called "Steam Platform" on the map.

It's actually just an elevator powered by a steam magic machine.

In the past, this place was often heavily guarded to prevent outsiders from entering North City's important alchemy industry chain at will.

But now there are only two or three big cats and steam knights guarding the place.

As the situation in Snow City changed, the management methods of those at the top also improved at the bottom.

Over hundreds of years, the Snow Dungeon has become a complex and intricate behemoth. The people above were disgusted with the attitude of this ominous place that caused mutations and alienation, so they entrusted the management of the underground city to the Rat Man himself. .

As long as they can maintain the industrial chain and maintain quality and quantity

"It sounds like a time bomb that could blow up North City at any time."

Regarding this puzzling current situation, Chen Zhou couldn't help but wonder. Who gave the people at the top the courage to delegate power to the persecuted and oppressed people at the bottom?

Thanks to the existence of professionals such as warlocks, psychics, priests, and God-givers, what stands out in the magical world is that power is never limited to the upper levels.

If any of the ratmen are lucky enough to awaken an excellent bloodline or become a powerful psychic, they may establish their own underground regime and defeat them.

Xiao Hei nodded: "But that's what it says in the information manual."

"It would be better to say that North City was about to explode." Tila suddenly poked her head in, "Every country and city in this world gives people a feeling that it is about to be destroyed."

Chen Zhou couldn't refute, even the price of the industrial process in Dahe Territory had been greatly reduced...

There were not many people passing through the upper and lower floors, and the group soon arrived at the elevator.

The guard accepted their benefits as usual, and then reminded him with a smile: "He is another rich man looking for excitement, but you'd better be careful. Ratmen are orcs after all, and they can eat people."

Chen Zhou was silent. The orcs in this world obviously did not eat humanoid creatures. Did those "rat men" develop special habits after being alienated by alchemy?

Just as he was about to ask more questions, a team of baggage came from the road not far away. The soldiers above were escorting the rat men to transport supplies.

The materials in the underground world are not enough, and many survival necessities must be provided by the upper levels.

Naturally, these materials will not be provided for free. All of them require alchemy raw materials processed by the rat people in exchange.

While the guards were checking the supplies from car to car, Chen Zhou and his party took a few curious glances.

This batch of supplies is all food, but they all seem to have some signs of contamination.

"Isn't that something from the land that was corrupted by Falqu's aberrations? They just feed it to people?"

The knowledgeable Jerry quickly discerned that the grain was corrupt and that eating it as food was more than unhealthy.

Chen Zhou remained silent, but a certain impulse from his youth began to take hold in his heart.

Seeing that the food he inspected was contaminated, the guard waved his hand ominously and let the baggage team pass directly.

During this period, Xiao Hei's high-sensitivity camera detected a ratman secretly stuffing money into the guards... Now even he felt that North City and Snow Dungeon were about to explode.

Rather, it is a miracle that this structure can exist to this day?

Is it possible that there were other factors unknown to the three of them that were balancing and mediating during this period?

Suddenly, there was an ominous premonition in its processor...

After the guards' inspection, the food transport team also arrived at the elevator.

"There are only three of you, let's squeeze in a little."

As if unwilling to stay with such an ugly and ominous existence like the Rat Man, the grain transport officer followed the three of them directly to the elevator.

Then the guard who was free touched the switch, and powered by the steam magic machine, the elevator with extremely strong load-bearing capacity descended very smoothly towards the deep bottom.

"These grains should be Gajelan's contaminated crops, right?"

Looking at the baggage behind the grain transport officer, Chen Zhou asked intentionally or unintentionally: "It has been polluted to this extent. Is there anyone left to harvest it? The price of hiring someone to harvest it will exceed the value of the grain itself, right?"

The grain transport officer sighed, a classic question that only rich people would ask.

"What does it mean to hire people to harvest? Even if it is contaminated food, the poor should still eat it."

Just because the land was destroyed by the war, it didn't mean that all the people in Gajelan and Carlos were dead.

If you don’t accept it, others will.

If you don't eat it, people will eat it.

The price of this batch of food is extremely low, which is suitable for feeding the rat people at the bottom.

"I think you took the kickbacks on all the money distributed by the superiors, right?"

"So not only the rat people, but also more people are eating this contaminated food. How is it possible? Didn't we sell thousands of tons of food at the lowest price?" 』
