Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"It's convenient. It can also help us monitor poachers, and if we see any fellow poachers, we can send them directly to the workshop."

……

Amid the cheers of the heretics, Charles followed the beast tide out of the workshop and came to the cafeteria separated by two large caves.

Various fruit wines and foods unique to the maze were brought to the table by the heretics.

Chiron had always lived in the ice field and had never experienced such a delicious food shock, so he was completely immersed in eating.

A moment later...

After a good meal and a full drink, Chiron looked tipsy, raised his glass high, put his front feet on the table and shouted:

"My fellow countrymen! Mother's life is like a candle in the wind! The evil invaders are gnawing at Mother's flesh and blood! We should unite and follow me to fight against the villains who hurt Mother! Take back our territory!"

"Hahaha, Sister Chiron is drunk! She's acting crazy again!" Reed narrowed his eyes and grinned, revealing his fangs.

"Hiccup~ I'm not drunk!" Chiron looked sad, as if he had experienced it himself:

"I can hear my mother screaming, struggling, and shouting! She is in great pain and tells me that I must kill that abominable reptile, the heretic that has been contaminated and bewitched by the evil Son of God!"

"Uh..." The three heretics looked at each other.

"Big sister, did you really hear what your mother said?"

"Of course!"

"Did your mother ask you to come to us and lead us to save her?" asked Guros.

"Absolutely true!"

"Have you seen your mother?" Lei asked.

"No!" Chiron said firmly, "But I heard my mother's pleading to me!"

"Uh... maybe you heard it wrong?" Lid was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Do you want to confirm it with your mother in person?"

"Okay! Hmm?" Chiron's eyes turned into dots... "Meet... Mother?"

Lei Yi smiled and said, "Yes, every time a heretic joins, we will take them to see their mother, hoping to understand what their mother is saying and what she wants us to do."

"Since Miss Chiron said that our mother ordered us to fight against the invaders, we also want to confirm it in person."

"Well, let's find some time to go to Cassios (Zaiyuan) to see our mother."

Hmm? Hmm?

Are you serious? As the [Descendant of Gaia], the [King of Wisdom], and the only guardian of Mother, I have never seen Mother, and you, the younger generation, have actually seen Mother?

Chiron's face was full of confusion...

Chapter 385 Crazy Casters

When Chiron began to doubt himself, who was the most favored child by his mother, everyone unanimously decided to take Chiron to the "deepest" to see his mother's "shell". They also hoped that as the oldest heretic, he could hear his mother's call clearly.

As for Charles, it was his first time meeting these heretics. After a brief acquaintance and becoming familiar with them, he dragged Fels away.

The long-shelved "artificial underground city" project can now begin construction.

After showing Rimuru's ability to train monsters...

"We need to build a 'Fairy Essence Circuit' at the base that can circulate and recycle energy, and use it as a stepping stone to increase the value of Rimuru until his body covers the entire maze wall and simulates a dungeon." Ciel proposed his own plan.

"That would require enormous energy and resources..." Fels asked.

"We can ask the dark faction to solve it. Hasn't Balka always been pursuing the goal of building a replica dungeon? Now that we can completely turn the labyrinth into a dungeon, he should be happy to facilitate this."

Charles arranged: "The strength of the secret faction also needs to be improved. They are all rotten fish and shrimp. Apart from Deeks who is in charge of money, there is only the rookie Valletta. Two level 5s are not enough to deal with Finn and his friends. We can't always have to take action. The mastermind should sit on the throne with his legs crossed. How can he show up in public at will?"

"Let's start with the most basic method of hatching different monsters and automatically repairing the maze." Ciel looked at Haski and took out some light-colored magic stones. "I will let Rimuru assist you in promoting the research of new monsters and mass production and automation."

"Fels, you come and help me build the "Immortality" realm."

The gift from the underworld of Erebus can also come in handy at this time.

However, if Charles wants to extend his authority to cover the entire maze, the blood of his small body is definitely not enough. He needs a special formation to turn the entire artificial maze into a magic workshop.

“After that, we will find a way to recycle the spiritual energy released by the adventurers and replenish what Rimuru consumed, and try to achieve a self-circulation.”

In this regard, the mana-absorbing property of [Mana Wyrm] can make up for some of the losses, but this attribute needs to be further amplified.

Charles pondered:

If you want to increase adventurers' fun in exploration, you must place enough treasure to attract them.

It would be best if you could kill monsters and get equipment or open a treasure chest.

But I can't fill this hole with my own stuff...

It would be best if this part of the consumption could be returned to the adventurers who explored.

Charles thought of the dream crystal left by Belle.

If we can master the power of dreams and intercept the "experience points" of "dead" adventurers through dream crystals, can we generate some special items, such as... experience books, or skill books? Or even transform them into equipment items?

This is just a wild idea. It just so happens that there is a "nightmare god" Ikelos in the maze...

Charles secretly wondered if he could take over as the next big brother.

far away...

"We can use the power of "immortality" to make the cadres of the dark faction kill each other, and then obtain a group of elite subordinates through resurrection. This requires a group of volunteers..." Charles muttered.

Alfia stroked her chin and said, "Speaking of killing each other, this is the tradition of Dou Country. Do we need to go there?"

"Fighting Country?" Charles narrowed his eyes.

It is the name of a national faction ruled by the god of war, Kali, and a battle led by Amazon.

The children of the Dou country live with their sisters since childhood, and finally kill their roommates when they reach a certain age, so as to continuously cross levels.

It is not an exaggeration to call the environment of Dou Country a town of blood mist.

And right now...

As a powerful faction with four level 5 members, it would be a lie to say that I am not tempted.

Four level 5s fight against each other, giving birth to two level 6s, and then the two level 6s fight against each other, giving birth to the level 7 Amazon "Fighting for Girls". This is the bloody fighting state regime.

If these female warriors could fight to the death in the realm of the God of Death and then be reborn by Fels using resurrection magic, the world's combat power would be further improved.

"But, Douguo... is very far away!" Charles hesitated.

He was unfamiliar with the world outside of Orario, and could say that he knew almost nothing about it. It was easy to get lost if he rashly went to a foreign country. He was still a child.

Alfia seemed to sense Ciel's uneasiness and said softly, "The school district will be returning soon. You can try to board that battleship and travel the world. Don't you have Ansel in your control?"

"As Ciel you can enter the school district, and as Joker you can also complete your layout, killing two birds with one stone."

Charles' eyes lit up.

The school district's world tour cycle is three years. Counting from the start of the main story, that is, five and a half years before the start of the main story, the school district will return.

It has been more than half a year since the great struggle, and the time has entered "six and a half years ago", which means that in another half a year, the school district will be back?

"Well, it's almost a year. It's still too long."

"We can make plans first... and find some forces that have connections with the Dou Nation, such as the remnants of the Ishtar clan." Alfia reminded.

"Yes..." Charles' eyes lit up. He was not thinking of Aisha, who was not an Amazon born in Dou Country. He was thinking of Diona and Dione who had not yet arrived in Orario...

"I remember that before arriving in Orario, they joined the fishing clan near the port city and hunted aquatic monsters to make money. The time limit seemed to be one year. Perhaps they are already near the port city?"

but……

If the Amazon sisters were recruited, Dione would most likely continue to follow Finn because of the bad karma from her past life... After all, she was the woman who almost ate Finn.

Tiona may also follow her sister.

But forget it, Charles has no interest in the yandere Amazon, he just uses it as a stepping stone to the Fighting Country, so he can get in touch with her first.

At worst, I could stuff two former "noname" followers into Loki's arsenal. I really want to see her expression when she finds out that the cadre she recruited with great difficulty turned out to be a "noname" by his predecessor.

……

Artificial maze, 10 floors, between the masters.

The Joker, wearing a black robe, found Balka who was thinking about how to make more money.

After showing Rimuru's characteristics and cooperation with monsters, Ciel suggested:

"The current labyrinth is still very different from the dungeon. If we want to fulfill Daedalus's long-cherished wish, I think it is necessary to introduce new technology."

Balka stared at the black slime that was clinging to the rock wall and was beginning to spit out goblins, his eyes flickering...

"How many faris will this take?"

"It doesn't require too much funding. We can move some of the super-hard metals to other places. Not all floors of the dungeon are rigid mazes. We need something more natural, so we need to change the current maze design." Ciel explained, "I need to seek your consent, or your ancestors' consent."

The Daedalus bloodline will complete the maze step by step according to the curse design left by Daedalus. This is an irresistible curse.

but now……

I have to say, Balca was moved.

The design drawings from thousands of years ago have long been outdated. Daedalus’ real wish is not a lifeless fake, but a real underground city!

His blood was restless and his soul was burning.

It's not the rebellion from blood, but the excitement!

Daedalus' obsession made him agree to Ciel's request!

With shaking hands, he stroked Rimuru's round and smooth body: "Joker, you and your followers have brought about changes! You are the true wise men who truly understand and recognize our lofty ideals! You will be the eternal friend of our Daedalus clan!"

Chapter 386: Wonders that harm the country

Balka's eyes turned red, and the bloody word D trembled in his eye sockets.

What I said before was not false. I really agreed with Charles.

Balka has never been to the surface. He does not know when he was born, nor when his "self" was born. From the day he was born, he was chosen to be the "ancestor" of this generation. Everything he does is completely in accordance with his "bloodline" and "code".

He has been hovering between "consciousness" and "unconsciousness".

however……

The life that was supposed to follow the procedure, building a maze until death, changed after this man appeared.

He has his own desires...

"I will surpass my ancestors!" Balka's face showed madness: "Ah..., the blood is agitated, and the "bloodline" is also excited! It recognizes me! Praise me! At this moment, I am no longer a "substitute for Daedalus". I will break free from the shackles and become the real "Daedalus", the real ancestor!"

"The Notebook is no longer useful! The Bloodline is urging me to complete a new plan!"

"Mr. Joker, your fantasy makes the souls of the past tremble!"

Ciel put one hand in his pocket, his shoulders also trembling, and covered his face: "Hey, hey, Balkasan, no one would refuse to build a maze of their own, right?"

"Watching such a magnificent spectacle being completed bit by bit in my own hands, and when the last brick was laid, that sense of accomplishment... was the ultimate pleasure!"

“Ah…” Balka clenched his fists.

After a thousand years, only less than 18 levels of the man-made maze have been completed.

He is not an immortal, and he claims that he cannot see the completion of the maze. However, after Charles appears, he has new ambitions!

Floors 19 to 25, a total of six floors, took a hundred years to build, which was one-third of the previous construction volume. After Charles appeared, it was completed and put into use in just a few months.

Although the expensive "Dilgen Steel" and "Orichalcum" have not yet been invested, and the mechanisms and traps have not yet been implemented, this is just a matter of "decoration".

As long as the money is in place, the maze that would take the second millennium to complete will be completed in no time.

and……

"You just said that some floors don't need super-hard metal, right?"

"Hmm..." Charles praised: "Your ancestor Daedalus pursued ecology, right?"

"Under the power of 'nature', this work is called 'miracle of nature'!"

"What he longs for is not the labyrinth, but the "world"! He is a man who usurps the authority of God with a mortal body and attempts to become the creator god! !"
