Why did he look fine when he came out of the smoke?

What about the piercing wound from the spear? Why are the clothes intact?

Is he human or undead?

Dantai looked at Zhang Mu who was smiling, clenched his fists, and shouted: "Return to the city!"

As soon as the word "回" came out, the other person disappeared on the spot. When the word "城" landed on the ground, the sound came from the stone staircase tunnel at the entrance.

Zhang Mu was dumbfounded.

Damn it, he ran so decisively, why not try to resist?

This guy is worthy of being a high-level knight. He can't even see people with his dynamic vision amplified by his magic power.

Over there, the Dantai people, who were a little slower to react, also swarmed towards the entrance.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mu didn't take any action.

They will be like rabbits in a nest that has been blown up, running all over the floor and it will be tiring to catch them.

It would be better to wait until they escape back to their family residence in Bala City and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mu stopped wasting time, stuffed Dantai's spear into the storage bag, and prepared to rush back to Bala City.

"gentlemen."

Suddenly an adventurer called him.

Looking up, Zhang Mu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Um..." The adventurer who stopped the man was a middle-aged man, probably in his early 20s.

Being stared at by Zhang Mu, he became a little flustered and looked around to relieve his tension.

"Take your time. There's no rush."

He seemed to be calmed down by Zhang Mu's gentle comfort: "We worked hard to get eight wooden treasure chests. Can we take less?"

"Half, leaving half for us is enough."

After he finished speaking, the other adventurers' eyes became expectant and they looked at Zhang Mu eagerly.

Stunned by this question, Zhang Mu recalled.

Common sense from Avril's classroom - according to the unspoken rules, the strongest "team" in the maze is eligible to collect a certain percentage of the treasure chest gains of other adventure teams.

It turns out that this is not a recognized unspoken rule, but that the stronger adventure groups rob the weaker ones.

Some people resisted and succeeded.

After the successful rebellion, the adventure group discovered that no one present could defeat them, and they could do so without paying any price.

This is much easier than hunting monsters and collecting treasure chests.

Over time, this has become a recognized unspoken rule.

At this time, the two strongest teams in the maze were defeated by Zhang Mu, and he became the strongest.

As it should be, he was given the "right to levy taxes".

Zhang Mu glanced at the adventurers standing in a row against the wall.

Whoever his eyes fell on would swallow nervously.

His expression became very strange, and he asked the middle-aged adventurer in an unclear tone: "If I say I don't want anything, will you be happy?"

The middle-aged adventurer was a little dazed, then he came to his senses and quickly replied, "Of course sir."

"How happy are you?"

He knelt on one knee without hesitation, with his right hand on his left chest: "Maybe you don't care too much, but I, a humble person, still want to offer you my highest respect."

Zhang Mu stared at him for a long time, then looked up at the other adventurers: "You too?"

Dozens of adventurers heard the question and did the same thing as the middle-aged adventurer: "We would like to pay our highest respects to you, the noble one."

Taking a few steps back, looking at the magicians, knights, and some priests kneeling in a row in front of him, Zhang Mu frowned and muttered: "I just said if, I didn't make a definite promise to them, right?

Even if you agree, lies seem to be the norm in Sol Continent..."

It's just an if with a very high probability of being negative. Is it worth getting so excited?

"Ha." He suddenly laughed.

It seems that it is not that difficult to understand.

Even if an adventure group of average strength is lucky enough to enter the maze, they are extremely lucky to occupy a doorway.

In most cases, you just need to look for treasure chests in the area near the tunnel entrance.

It would take ten days or half a month to slowly conquer a larger group of goblins, and any mistake in the process would result in death.

The Kingdom of Lake is located in a remote corner of the Sol Continent, and the city of Bala is a remote area of ​​the Kingdom of Lake.

Among the adventure group that rushed here in a hurry, how many of them are strong?

So, eight wooden treasure chests are not a small number.

Zhang Mu suddenly lost interest and turned to walk towards the entrance: "I am not interested in your treasure chest."

The figure disappeared into the doorway.

The adventurers looked at each other, as if they didn't expect that he really didn't want anything, and just left.

"Hey." A young adventurer put his arm around his companion's neck, "I want to be a powerful and handsome magician like him."

As he spoke, he loosened his arms, turned his back to his companions, and imitated Zhang Mu's calm tone: "I have no interest in your treasure chest."

"Is it similar?" He turned around and jumped up and down.

The companion shrugged helplessly: "Okay, okay, since you are not interested in our treasure chests, then you can take the six wooden treasure chests this time..."

"Damn it! What do you want to do?!"

"You said you were not interested in the treasure chest," his companion joked.

"Look, I'm going to smash your ass with this sword!"

They walked towards the entrance cave door while playing and joking.

The older adventurers looked at this scene, smiled bitterly, and left.

All the adventurers came to their senses, and with a look of relief on their faces, thinking "we are so lucky this time", they trotted into the cave.

Only the middle-aged adventurer who asked the question first and was wearing light armor, with his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, no longer showed the panic and nervousness as before. He stood in place, staring at the cave entrance calmly.

It seemed as if I could see Zhang Mu’s back, who had already walked away.

He didn't move for a long time. His companion, who had already walked a few steps, turned back and urged: "Domit?"

"Just come."

Domit put on his usual ingratiating smile, ran after his companion, and went into the doorway together.

After climbing up the stone steps to the island, Domit found an excuse to leave the adventure group and ran towards the city of Bala alone at a very fast speed in the dark.

……

Coming out of the island, Zhang Mu strode to the grassland not far outside the city of Bala.

Even though it was late at night, adventurers were still passing through the city gate in an endless stream.

Looking at the bustling city gate from afar, Zhang Mu began to ponder.

After being scared by me, Dantai probably won’t leave the city in the short term.

I don't have much time to waste with him, I have to take action inside the city.

As a result, the church will inevitably hunt me down. Although I am not afraid, it is really annoying to be chased and bitten by dogs all the time. If I am not careful, it will hinder me from getting out of the maze.

Speaking of which...

Zhang Mu raised his head and looked around.

The guy sent by Andre may still be in Bala City.

The other party said that the king summoned him back to the capital, but Zhang Mu didn't believe it so easily. He just said it in vain and no one knew whether it was true or not.

While thinking, a flash of lightning flashed through Zhang Mu's mind.

He made a loud noise in the city and died together with the patriarch of the Marvin magic family in front of the church members who came to check the situation, and then used shadow magic to escape from the scene.

But the time and distance must be controlled well, so that the believers can see with their own eyes that the "heretics" who violated the church regulations are dead, but their own appearance cannot be seen clearly.

kindness……

Stroking his chin, a perfect plan gradually emerged in his mind.

It seems that Transfiguration can also be used, but it is not clear whether high-level magicians can see through the illusions created by Transfiguration.

Need to test it.

Zhang Mu nodded to himself and prepared to enter the city.

"Sir, please wait."

Hearing the shout, he turned around and saw the middle-aged adventurer he had just separated from standing on the grass not far away.

Chapter 89: The Rebels of Lake Kingdom

Zhang Mu looked him up and down.

Compared with his previous image of a down-and-out middle-aged man who had suffered the ravages of life, at this moment, his waist, which was unconsciously bent, was straight as a pine tree.

His right palm was pressing on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his expression was calm, and his whole body exuded a calm temperament.

Zhang Mu, who originally had no intention of paying attention to him, suddenly became interested.

"what's up?"

He didn't rush to explain his purpose. He first performed the chivalry salute and then introduced himself: "Sir, you can call me Domit."

"Zhang Mu."

Nodding, he slowly said, "Mr. Zhang Mu, I really want to know why you didn't ask them for the treasure chest."
