After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

This was Xu Mu's best preparation. Every component was cast with great effort. From the materials to the craftsmanship, everything was top-notch. It took two years to complete.

After the Demon-Slaying Armor was completed, it was not considered top-level equipment at first.

Later, he met the master craftsman "Dr. Evil" in the Rose Demon King City. With the assistance of Dr. Evil, the Demon Slayer Set was truly sublimated, with quality surpassing ordinary equipment, and was upgraded to a "quasi-artifact."

It was in this set of armor that Xu Mu fought a fierce battle with the King of Eternal Loneliness.

The Demon-Slaying Armor played an indispensable role in our final victory.

Seeing this, the elf's voice turned serious: "Comrade, are you going to use the Demon Slayer's Morning Star?"

Xu Mu touched the armor and said, "It's highly likely I won't use it. Put it in the backpack, just in case."

He put the Demon-Slaying Set into his backpack and walked out the door.

When they reached the table, Nanasha had already finished her bowl of porridge and was sitting properly. Xu Mu frowned and said, "Wash the dishes. What are you sitting there for? You ate my meal and you still want me to wash your dishes for you?"

"...Any more? I want more."

"what?"

clang clang.

Nanasha bent her fingers and tapped the rice bowl with her nails. "It's delicious. I want more."

What's wrong?

Xu Mu waved his hand and said rudely, "No more. Eating too much will make you fat. Go wash the dishes, we're leaving."

"……All right."

Nanasha stood up swiftly and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes under Xu Mu's instructions.

Chapter 57 #057 Stare——

The jeep sped across the wilderness. Xu Mu held the steering wheel and turned to look at Nanasha who was sitting in the passenger seat looking at the scenery.

This woman...

He was actually asked to drive.

Roads have been built around the Free City and the road conditions are pretty good.

But when we got to a place a little further away, it was extremely bumpy. Nanasha was driving a military police car, and the suspension wasn't very good.

Xu Mu said seriously, "The scenery in the wilderness is indeed quite nice. The environment around the Free City is well-preserved. I like it very much."

"Are you looking at the scenery?"

“…Strictly speaking, it’s the most beautiful scenery.”

Hopeless.

Nanasha turned away and said, "If you do that again, I'll arrest you for dangerous driving. I may not be working today, but I still have law enforcement authority."

mean!

What's wrong with looking at you twice? It won't cost me any money.

Xu Mu sat upright and stopped making trouble.

Nanasha only had one day to rest, so the maze she chose was not far from the Free City, and it only took six hours to go there and back.

The closer you are, the fewer choices you have.

Xu Mu and his companions are now heading towards a purgatory-level maze called "Golden Ranch" located in the northern territory.

This maze is very old. It has been more than eighty years since it appeared. According to common sense, it is impossible for it to still exist - are the adventurers in the Free City just here to eat and do nothing?

It's still here for a reason.

The maze is a strange subspace. Some mazes are only as big as a football field, while others are tens of millions of miles wide. They have fertile soil for thousands of miles, abundant sunlight, and excellent natural conditions.

The Golden Ranch is a maze of treasures.

There is abundant grass and water, and the four seasons are distinct, making it very suitable for the development of animal husbandry and agriculture. It would be a pity to destroy it in vain, so the Free City did not capture it. Instead, it sent troops into the maze to confront the indigenous trolls.

Whenever the trolls are about to become powerful, we send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress them, killing most of them but not the maze leader.

As long as the maze leader is alive, the maze will not disappear.

For eighty years, the Golden Ranch has continuously provided livestock and food to the residents of the Northern Territory. It is truly a Feng Shui treasure land that cannot be easily destroyed.

As for the life and death of those trolls—

In a word.

Humans don't care.

"呲-"

The SUV stopped at the entrance to the maze. Nanasha took out her pass and said to the guard, "I'm Nanasha Icework from the Military Police. I reported in yesterday. Here's my pass."

The guard checked the pass and glanced at Nanasha. "Ms. Nanasha, the Golden Ranch isn't very safe these days. The troll population is quite large, and we will be launching our seventh major cleanup soon. Please be careful when you enter, and don't leave the fortress."

Xu Mu didn't know the situation and didn't react.

Nanasha was a little surprised. She said, "I remember it was only three years ago when the last roundup took place? Now it's on a smaller scale again?"

The guard didn't understand either. "Perhaps those trolls are more fertile. The situation is under control, please don't worry too much."

"..."

Nanasha took back her ID and signaled Xu Mu to drive.

The car passed through the portal, and Xu Mu's eyes went dark and bright, and he appeared in the maze.

"Hiss—it's so cold, is it winter?"

The surrounding environment has changed drastically. It is late summer or early autumn outside, but the maze is covered with snow.

Nanasha frowned slightly. "This troll tribe...if I remember correctly, their growth period is as long as twenty years. They just launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression last year. Now the tribe has grown to a large scale again? Incredible."

How could Xu Mu understand these?

He was just cold and rolling up his window.

Nanasha cast a disapproving look at him and asked, "Don't you care at all?"

Xu Mu glanced at her: "Should I care?"

"That's right. Your strength doesn't allow you to get involved in anything too dangerous. I was abrupt."

"..."

Speak nicely to me!

The Free City has been operating the Golden Ranch for many years and has even built a considerable "fortress" in it.

The off-road vehicle moved forward and after entering the fortress, it stopped in front of a facility that looked like a prison.

Xu Mu looked at the sign at the door——

"Devil training camp"?

How terrible!

The two got out of the car. Nanasha explained her purpose to the guard at the door. The guard quickly let them in. Nanasha took Xu Mu and walked through the heavily guarded corridor.

As Xu Mu expected, this was the prison.

However, the prisoners there are very special. They are not humans, but trolls that are over three meters tall.

This……

what's the situation?

Xu Mu looked around and couldn't help but ask, "Captain Nanasha, why are these trolls locked up? Have they... broken the law?"

"Do trolls have laws?"

"I don't think so... Even if there is, it's not our responsibility."

Nanasha continued with a smile, "These trolls aren't prisoners, but 'training equipment.' As you can see, this is the 'Devil's Training Camp,' a place where warriors are trained using the most cruel, direct, and brutal methods. The most famous subject here is having trainees duel with trolls in iron cages—iron cage fighting."

"..."

what?

As she spoke, Nanasha stopped in front of an iron cage the size of a basketball court and said, "We're here."

Where are you?

Through the thigh-thick bars of the iron cage, Xu Mu looked inside.

The cage was paved with bluestone, its surface uneven and unrefined. Dark red marks clung to the rough surface, scattered here and there, making them particularly eye-catching.

no doubt.

This is blood.

Look at those thick iron fences...

Good guy.

It was covered with marks of knives and axes. Just by looking at them, Xu Mu could imagine the fierce battle that had taken place in this cage.

He looked at Nanasha coldly and asked, "What's your purpose in bringing me here? You don't want me to fight the trolls, do you? I think it's better to forget it. To be honest, Miss Nanasha, I am a pacifist. I believe negotiation is the best way to resolve disputes. I won't resort to violence unless it's the last resort."

"what."

Nanasha smiled happily and looked at Xu Mu kindly.

Xu Mu took a step back and continued, "Violence will not help. Killing will only intensify hatred. Peace and love are the most important things."

Nanasha stopped and hugged her chest. She looked at Xu Mu with curiosity.

She began to speak, "Xu Mu, you are truly special. Ever since our school days, all men have been eager to show off their shining points in front of me—celebrities would show off their cultivation and family background, the wealthy would show off their wealth and extravagance, and adventurers would show off their bravery and violence. But you are very different. You always…"

Nanasha frowned.

She seemed to choose her words carefully, and after a moment she said, "You reveal your despicable side...in front of me. Why? I can't understand."

why?

Because I don’t have any sperm on my brain.

Xu Mu raised his hand and said, "Because I don't want to fight with the trolls. That's a good enough reason, right?"

"Very well, but I won't allow it—you get in!"

"Hey?!"

Nanasha quickly stepped forward, grabbed Xu Mu's arm, and threw him into the iron cage before he could react.

Bang!

The guard next to the iron cage was quick-witted and closed the iron door in an instant.

Xu Mu was stunned. He looked at Nanasha who was slowly approaching from outside the cage and shouted, "Captain Nanasha! You are committing murder! Let me out! Otherwise, you will be sued!"

Nanasha was very calm: "Don't worry, I master advanced healing magic. With me here, nothing will happen to you."

Chapter 58 #058 Devil Training Camp!

As Nanasha finished speaking, the guard standing next to the iron cage said, "Sir, don't worry. Our Devil Training Camp is very safe. The mortality rate of 'Iron Cage Beast Fighting' is only one in twenty, so accidents generally don't happen."

Xu Mu was furious when he heard this: "Isn't one twentieth high? Only one out of twenty people died! Brother!"

"In terms of real battlefield conditions, this is a very moderate death rate."

I……

Xu Mu shook his head repeatedly, not knowing what to say.

The next moment, the guard beside the iron cage said to Nanasha, "Ma'am, here is the training subject and price list. Please choose one and we can start right away."

"Let me see."

Nanasha took the list, and the guard handed another list to Xu Mu: "Sir, you are a trainee, you should also see it."
