In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

"I'm so sorry, I was sealed in a book by that crazy magician, so I can only meet you in this form."

The griffin said this very apologetically, his voice gentle and soft, somewhat like the voice of an upright knight in his thirties, sounding trustworthy.

But this is the devil.

Green knew the nature of demons very well. They were a group of people who said one thing to one person and another thing to another.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he pretends to be a good person now. In fact, he is full of bad intentions and doesn't believe a word the other party says.

"It's okay, is there anything else you want to say?"

The other survivors also gathered around and marveled at the magic book floating in the air.

"What is this? Is this a tiger? Lord Green, it actually came out of the book!"

Green gave a perfunctory answer, not wanting to explain too clearly.

"Ah, it looks like a griffin."

Huh? Why is it disgust?

The Griffin Demon, sealed in a magic book, smelled unexpected emotions in the air. The demon has the ability to taste human emotions.

But now he was a little confused.

How can I feel disgusted?

Shouldn't it be exciting?

He didn't understand it at all.

Facing a human whose mind was unknown, the griffin felt a little scared. Demons were most troubled by people with abnormal brains, but it still tempted them anyway.

"Now that you have defeated the Mad Magician, you are qualified to become the master of the dungeon."

"Would you like that?"

While saying this, the Griffin activated the ability of this dungeon to magnify people's inner desires, and he tried to arouse Green's desire to become the master of the dungeon maze.

however

"I see, you want to trick people into signing a contract so you can eat Michelin-starred meals every day?

Green suddenly realized that this thing really had bad intentions.

"What? What are you talking about?"

The griffin's expression froze. How had he been caught? Was my acting really that bad?

"Shut up, idiot."

"Why aren't you doing this!!!!!!"

He walked forward and closed the magic book, ignoring what the demon was saying. Green tore off some of the cloak of the dead Black Feather Guard and tied the book tightly.

It can be said that everything is put to good use.

The magic book was also trying its best to break free, but the griffin had obviously not anticipated the current situation.

Although it didn't understand what was going on, it had a premonition that it would be finished if it fell into Green's hands!

"Stupid, why am I, a magic idiot, telling you this?"

Green decided to consult the thousand-year-old, excellent female elf magician, Fulilian, to study the magic book that contained the devil.

According to Fulilian's terrifying experience, dealing with the magic book should not be a big problem.

At worst, I can ask Vanir for some advice. It doesn't cost much. I can just buy a batch of Wiz's goods. This guy is going crazy recently because of the useless female boss's random purchases.

"Um, Lord Green, aren't you tempted to become the master of the dungeon maze?"

Naofumi Iwamine's eyelids twitched as he watched this scene.

As a modern time traveler from Neon, in his impression, the protagonist in the anime would accept such a contract, then become the master of the dungeon maze and live a happy life.

"You're stupid. This is my territory. That crazy magician is just a remnant of the previous dynasty."

Green rolled his eyes. This was his territory. Did he need recognition from outsiders?

Originally, I was just worried that someone else would inherit the underground maze and gain some kind of control over it. But now, I don’t have to worry about that anymore. The magic book is in my hands, and I have killed the crazy magician. How can I still turn things around?

The dungeon maze only needs to remain the same and continue to allow adventurers to enter to generate blood for the territory.

"Ah, that seems to be the case."

Naofumi Iwamine was a little dumbfounded. How could this be possible?

After about half an hour, Falin resurrected three people and then fell asleep, and the newly resurrected female elf Malu also resurrected two.

As expected, Sato Kazuma actually brought Aqua with him.

According to this kid, he went to the second floor to find Aqua after he realized that he had won.

"Well done, get an extra bonus later."

"And Aqua, please revive the others. Falin and Malu have no strength left."

"I already told you my name is Malucelle."

Malucier, who was leaning against the wall drowsily with her hair in a mess, couldn't help but protest.

"Wow! What a brutal battle! Luckily I wasn't there!"

Aqua patted her chest with lingering fear. She was a little scared when she saw the corpses all over the ground. She could imagine how brutal the previous battle was.

This goddess is indeed foresighted. If I were down there, I would have been bitten to death by these dragons.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just revive him and compensate you double the market price afterwards. Is that okay?"

! !

Aqua's eyes lit up, this was a considerable number!

In fact, the maze dungeon has a new business called Corpse Pickers. There is a professional corpse picking team that will pick up the bodies of teams that are accidentally wiped out in the dungeon, and then resurrect them for a reward.

This price is very high. Generally speaking, after being resurrected once, these adventurers have to do two more dungeon explorations to make a profit.

And on this basis, Aqua, who has been crazy about money recently, was naturally very excited to add twice the amount.

She recently accidentally borrowed money from a loan shark and didn't dare tell Sato Kazuma, but now it seems she can keep it a secret!

Chapter 173: Add Money

Damn, the last chapter is over? I'm so disappointed. The content is about Aqua resurrecting everyone to a happy ending, and the protagonist goes home to play a two-player game. This is just a brief description, and then we discussed the problem of dealing with the magic book while eating.

Really?

That expression was like a mouse seeing a rice jar. Green's mouth twitched. Sometimes he was really afraid that this woman would be tricked into having a child by a gangster who showed up on the street with a few fake magic books.

Forget it.

He didn't think about such things. If such a gangster appeared, he would just kill him directly.

"Is everything alright? This demon must have a strong ability to bewitch people. I can clearly sense it."

Green then gave some examples.

"In the underground layer, it can predict my dreams from a distance, and it can also amplify people's desires. It's okay for me, but the impact on the other people in the team is obvious. Sato Kazuma even provokes the dragon because he wants to be pursued by women."

Oh?

"Is it Satou Kazuma, the one who's just as ruthless as you, but very timid?"

Nani?

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by Sato Kazuma, who's as evil as me? Don't ruin my reputation, Fulilian."

Green was very dissatisfied, what are you saying!

"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, you're right."

Ignoring someone's nonsense, Frielian frowned slightly. It seemed like a very difficult magic book. However, it sounded very interesting!

"It's okay! Leave it to me. I've dealt with similar things before. Before I came here, I also read some evil cult magic books that could bewitch people. I have some experience in dealing with this kind of demon."

She smiled with a hint of excitement and confidence, like a cat spotting interesting prey.

For Fulilian, exploring and deciphering magic books is the most interesting thing in her magical career. Before, although studying ordinary magic books was also interesting, just like being addicted to spicy food, she would rather study some challenging magic books.

"Are you really okay? You look dangerous."

The Earl had a bad feeling.

Frillian's expression gave people the feeling that she was very impatient. Green thought of the game called World of Warcraft in his previous life. Those elves who were seeking death were immersed in magic addiction and couldn't extricate themselves. Frillian also had a huge desire for magic. Wouldn't this really give the devil an opportunity to take advantage?

No!

very dangerous!

Green could already imagine the result of her being bewitched by the demons in the magic book and causing chaos in the territory. Fulilian had absolutely no self-control when it came to reading the new magic book, which made it difficult for him to feel at ease.

"No, I absolutely cannot let you read this magic book alone."

"Huh? Why? I'm the expert in magic, right?"

“I believe this but here’s the problem.”

He made a decision and decided to go to Vanir first to ask the Grand Duke of Hell, who was also a demon. He thought that his words would definitely provide some ideas.

"Darkness, do you have any plans for today?"

After being beaten, the obedient Darkness stopped eating with a look of resentment and said:

"No, I don't have any plans recently, and you don't allow me to leave the castle casually. Now I feel a little bored."

wipe.

Because he knew the woman's character very well, he was really worried about letting her go.

But it is also too arbitrary.

So he decided to put some pressure on Darkness.

Isn't it a good idea to let Darkness help with official business to reduce my workload?

"Then you and Fulilian will accompany me to a store later. There is a very important person there."

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for about two hours, the butler prepared the carriage and the three of them headed to the shop in Gushan City.

Darkness was puzzled. Why did they need a carriage when the distance wasn't that far? The castle was right inside Lonely Mountain City, so it was only a short walk away.

What she couldn't understand was why he had to bring so many people with him? Several maids, Black Feather Guards, there must be more than ten people in total.

Green's answer was that they were earls now and had to go out in style.

That's just showing off.

The Medici Territory was developing very well. In addition to the adventurers who came to the territory, the officers with savings also settled in the town, and their whole families became townspeople. This made the population of the originally empty Lonely Mountain City gradually increase. There were also villagers who came to the city to sell the village's furs, flour, bread, fruits, and sea fish.

These attracted many foreign vendors who wanted to make money. They also set up stalls in the city or rented shops to do business. Green knew that at this time he had to show the lord's wealth, which would make these vendors more confident.

Otherwise, others will look at it and ask, huh?

If the richest noble in a noble territory does not show off, then the territory has no hope.

These statements made Darkness speechless and at the same time she felt a little curious. She belonged to an old family in Belzegu, and the prosperity of the territory was already good, so she didn't need to do anything to attract investment.

She had been taught since childhood that a lord's duties were to protect his subjects, uphold the honor of the nobility, etc. Developing the territory was not the focus of Darkness's studies.

But after arriving in the Medici Territory, she discovered that Green was not like that at all. To put it bluntly, this guy treated the townspeople and soldiers of the Medici Territory as his personal wealth, and would do anything to expand his family for the sake of profit. This was completely different from the education and values ​​she had received.

This shocked her, but she also felt conflicted and felt that it was against her duties as a lord.

This made Green sigh that although she was a pervert, Darkness was essentially a kind girl.

As expected, when we arrived at Wiz's shop, it was still deserted without a single customer.

It was truly doubtful whether Vanir Wiz and the others could afford the rent. Even though the rent in Lonely Mountain City was cheap, it was still affordable.

He looked at the sign at the door saying it was open for business.

"I really doubt how long this store can survive. Why not just waive the rent?"

Green was speechless. He was clearly a Demon Duke and a cadre of the Demon King's army, so how could he have ended up like this? If word got out, he'd think he was being persecuted.
