The person was on the wrong ground, and Freya targeted him at the beginning!

Monsters rarely appear here, and there are mountains and water. Compared with other levels where monsters may appear at any time, this place is much safer.

Therefore, many adventurers choose to rest here, after all, it is relatively safe here.

Over time, some people discovered that this was a "business opportunity", and a small town named "Rivera Town" was born on the eighteenth floor.

A 'maze town' built by adventurers, where adventurers can rest and trade.

However, the prices here are much higher than on the ground, and adventurer-related items are several times more expensive than on the ground. However, since it is difficult to ensure a stable supply of supplies in the dungeon, they can be sold even at sky-high prices.

Moreover, although this is a safe floor, it is not absolutely safe. Sometimes it is attacked by monsters and destroyed, so Rivera Town has been rebuilt many times.

【Rivera Town · 331st Generation】

We came to this 'maze town' and saw the following words written on a sign at the door.

The 331st generation, which means that this town has been destroyed 330 times.

Cao Ye couldn't help but look inside. There were a large number of houses around, and more than 80% of them were made of wood, which should have been made of wood obtained locally.

Besides being easy to obtain, this town might be destroyed again at some point in the future, so there was no need to build it too well, as long as it was habitable.

There were quite a few stalls in the town, and Cao Ye took a look at a few of them.

Most of them were stalls selling weapons and equipment, and the prices were extremely expensive, several times higher than those in Orario.

This made Cao Ye itchy. He also had the "imaginary space", so he could easily carry a lot of things here. A weapon worth 1000 faris could be sold for 5000+ faris here, or even higher.

“Is this friend’s first time visiting Rivera Town?”

"Ok?"

A man's voice came from behind him, and Cao Ye turned around to look.

The other person was a big man with a broad build. He wore a black eye patch on one eye and wore a waistcoat-like garment. At this moment, he was looking at Cao Ye with a "smile" on his face.

However, from the other party's smile, Cao Ye saw greed and was afraid that he was being treated as a fat sheep.

"My name is Porus, and I'm the boss of this town. What about you, my friend?"

"Cao Ye, an adventurer~"

After hearing what Cao Ye said, Polus was speechless. What a guy, he really didn't say anything except his name.

But this is normal. When going out, especially in this dungeon where there are no rules at all, most adventurers are wary of outsiders.

"Cao Ye, right? I see this is your first time in Rivera Town?"

“It’s my first time here.”

"I, Borus, love making friends the most. It is fate that we meet today. I will buy you a drink."

"have a drink?"

"Yes, although this is a dungeon, alcohol is indispensable for adventurers."

“It’s not cheap~”

Cao Ye looked at Borus and said that the prices here could no longer be described as 'rip-off'.

When Porus heard Cao Ye's words, he was not surprised. After all, the prices in Rivera Town were well known in Orario.

"That's right, meeting is fate, I'll treat you to the meal today."

"Really?"

"How can this be false? Ask around in the town of Rivera, and everyone will know that I, Porus, never lie."

Regarding Porus' words, Cao Ye said, just listen to it, if you take it seriously you will lose.

As the gangster leader of Rivera Town, this guy doesn't lie? Then what about all the unlucky people who have been cheated over the years?

However, Cao Ye did not point it out. He followed Porus, crossed the street, and came to a tavern.

'boom--'

"Boss, serve some wine. I met a friend today and I must have a good drink."

As soon as he entered the door, Porus shouted. There were quite a few people in the tavern, and they naturally all knew Porus.

Hearing what Porus said, they all looked at Cao Ye who was standing beside Porus.

Looking at Cao Ye's "thin" physique, they were very curious. It must be extraordinary for him to attract so much attention from Porus. After all, this guy would not do anything without a profit.

'boom--'

Borus took Cao Ye to find an empty seat and sat down with great fanfare.

Judging from the posture, if you don’t know, you would think he is the host.

Soon, two large glasses of drinks came up. Cao Ye took a look and saw that it was rum. When he was in Orario, Cao Ye often drank it with the dwarf boss, who loved this wine very much.

"Come on, brother, you're welcome."

Seeing the wine coming, Porus directly picked up his own glass.

"Good~"

Although I don’t know what this guy is up to, it would be inappropriate not to drink it now that it has come to this.

Anyway, he is immune to all "negative effects", so he is not worried even if something is added to the drink. Taking a step back, even if there is any danger, he can protect himself.

With the reversal technique, it would be very difficult to kill yourself unless your head was chopped off.

The people around, looking at the "enthusiastic" Porus, were all very confused. Did the sun rise from the west today?

At the dinner table, Polus drank a large glass of rum in one gulp, with the main point being openness.

Chapter 48 Monsters attack the town!

"Hey, what's wrong with Porus?"

"What's wrong?"

"You are so generous in treating others to drinks. Normally, it's good enough that you don't blackmail others for a drink. What does this mean today?"

"Do you know the person he invited?"

"The person he invited? Who?"

He glanced at Cao Ye who was drinking with Porus, his face still full of confusion.

On the contrary, the other party seemed to see through Porus's purpose.

"That boy is no ordinary adventurer."

"Then who is he?"

"Does the pretty boy who was wearing the most eye-catching clothes and is kept by the goddess of beauty Freya know about it?"

"I know. Wait a minute, you mean..."

Suddenly, this guy widened his eyes and looked at Cao Ye again with some disbelief.

Being kept by the goddess of beauty Freya is something that all male adventurers in Orario dare not even dream of. She is the goddess of beauty and also the most powerful member of Orario's family.

What is the purpose of life? Isn't it just for "money" and "power"?

As the gigolo of the goddess of beauty, how could he lack money?

Moreover, relying on the big tree of Freya's family, even if he is not strong enough, Freya's family will make everyone stay away.

The goal that everyone strives for all their lives is achieved just like that. Who can you go to for justice?

"So, this guy Porus wants to establish a relationship with him?"

"The guys from Freya's family are all ruthless, and they all look down on others. Borus can't even touch them if he wants to. Compared to those monsters, this guy is much better."

"That's right~"

Looking at the two people who were 'having a pleasant conversation', he nodded.

If Borus could really establish a relationship with Freya's family, it would definitely be a big profit. After all, it was just a matter of paying for some worthless drinks.

As for Freya's family, even just a name is a deterrent in Orario.

On this side, Cao Ye looked at Porus who kept "introducing" the town of Rivera to him, and he also had some guesses in his mind.

Just like that, after three rounds of drinking, Polus felt dizzy, but Cao Ye, on the other hand, remained calm.

For Cao Ye now, as long as he doesn't want to get drunk, no matter what kind of wine it is, it is the same as plain water to him. Getting drunk can be considered a "negative effect".

"Brother, I am so happy to meet you today."

At the dinner table, Porus' face turned red and he spoke incoherently, and it was obvious that he was drunk.

"I'm very happy too. Someone invited me to drink right after I arrived."

"It's just a meal and drinks. From now on, in Rivera Town, brother, just ask and I will cover all your expenses."

"That's not necessary. No reward without merit. Although you are the boss here, it is unjustifiable to let your subordinates suffer losses."

"You really are my good brother. You care about me."

Regarding the other party's behavior of taking advantage of the situation and getting closer to him, Cao Ye just smiled and didn't say much.

After this meal, Cao Ye realized that the other party just wanted to build a relationship with him.

This is understandable. The Freya clan behind him is a giant in Orario, while Borus is just a gangster leader in the "Adventurer Town".

As long as he can establish a relationship with him, he doesn't need to do anything. Just by using the name of Freya's family, he will make a fortune.

'boom--'

At this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a cat-eared demi-human rushed in.

After taking a quick look around, the cat-man saw Porus, who was in a daze on the table, and then trotted over.

"Polus, if you keep drinking, something bad will happen."

Snatching the wine from Porus' hand, the cat-man looked at Porus and said with dissatisfaction.

"Huh? What happened?"

Looking at the other party, Porus didn't care. This is the small town of Rivera, what could happen?

Seeing Porus like this, the cat man was speechless. How much did he drink?

"The monster is coming. I'm afraid it's heading for 'Rivera Town'."

"Huh? The monster is coming?"

The cat man's words immediately sobered Polus up a bit, and he stood up suddenly.

When the people drinking around heard this, their faces changed.

'Roar--'

‘Ouch——’

‘Boom——’

At this time, the roars of monsters and the sounds of explosions came from outside.

Now, everyone can be sure that the monster is really coming.

"It's only been a short time, and these monsters are coming again. Damn it, Hendi, go notify everyone and prepare for battle. Kill these guys as quickly as possible."

"I've already notified them, but there are no more magicians in the town."

"Huh? No more magicians?"

"I've already asked, and there really isn't one."

"Now we're in trouble."

Borus's face darkened slightly. Such monster attacks were commonplace for Rivera Town. The so-called safe floors were not that safe.

Unlike fighting in the dungeon, here they not only have to kill monsters but also protect the town.

If it were destroyed, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild it, which would be a waste of money.

The best way to clear monsters on a large scale is to use powerful magic. All you need to do is buy time for the magician to chant, and the unleashed power is equal to the efforts of a group of people.

'boom--'

"Oh no! The monster is rushing in."
