The choice of the mermaid queen did not disappoint Pan Long.

He didn't care about the combat effectiveness of the mermaids. For him, as long as he could persuade the mermaids to be content with their own affairs and not have another dispute with Hamlet Town, he would have achieved his goal.

The mermaid queen's style is so salty, it can be said that it is exactly what he wants.

Sure enough, when he later proposed that "the mermaid and Hamlet live in peace, and if there is conditions in the future, they can start a mutually beneficial trade", the mermaid queen agreed immediately.

Mermaids do not need much land resources, and Hamlet Town does not need much marine resources, so there is no substantial conflict between the two sides.

If the old Earl hadn't wanted the mermaids to help him search for the wealth of the undersea shipwrecks over the years, the two sides would have had no relationship at all.

It is easy to convince mermaids to remain neutral.

After completing this purpose, Pan Long said goodbye and left, and returned to Hamlet Town.

The Count was very satisfied with his mission and did not care at all about the mermaids not joining the united front.

As a human, although Count Hamlet is both wisdom and moral, he cannot avoid certain prejudices after all. In his opinion, it is best for humans and mermaids to stay away from each other, one on the shore and the other on the water, and each living his own life.

As for cooperation and other things... forget it, don't let some crazy believers think that he colludes with monsters, that would be a big loss!

He explained his ideas in detail and convinced Pan Long.

Anyway, the mermaid queen is not actually keen on doing business with Hamlet. Since the Count himself is not interested, it is better to give up.

Maybe in a few years, social thoughts will improve, and the next generation of earls will change their minds?

After solving this problem, Pan Long went to another demon cave alone, a place called "Scarlet Garden".

The demon cave was occupied by female vampires from that time and a large number of transformed vampires descendants, and there was an extremely terrifying curse - thirstemia.

Once infected with this curse, there is no way to relieve it except drinking the "blood brew" mixed with vampire blood. But the "blood brew" is ultimately limited. Without this poison that can quench thirst, the patient will go crazy and even wither and eventually turn into ashes.

It would be fine if it were just vampires and vampires who would spread this curse. What was terrible is that mosquitoes in the scarlet courtyard could spread such curse.

These mosquitoes do not only appear in the maze, but occasionally appear outside.

In the past month, two or three residents and adventurers who have been bitten by this mosquito and suffer from thirstemia have appeared.

They are currently maintaining their lives with a few blood brews handed down by the old earl, but the situation is very bad - because the blood brew is limited and can only be used in small quantities. In order to avoid the curse caused by their violent activities, the earl had to order them to lock them up and take food mixed with sleeping pills, leaving them in a drowsy and half-sleeping all day.

This is just a temporary measure. Over time, even if you curse yourself, you will still die if you use sleeping pills excessively.

Moreover, if you live like this for too long, you will be ruined. Even if you lift the curse, you will only breathe more than the dead.

Therefore, the problems of Scarlet Garden and vampires still need to be solved after all.

By the way, there is no problem with another large magic cave, the time flows to the chaotic "Star Farm". Although the danger there may even be more than the Scarlet Garden, there is no danger as long as you don't get involved in it.

So after the count sent someone to investigate, he built a huge fence and surrounded the entire maze.

This fence is not used to block adventurers, but to warn everyone not to get close.

As for those who want to go in and take risks, just be as long as you don’t care whether you can come out alive.

Star Farm produces gems called "Star Fragments". This gem is of great value and is very useful in decoration and industrial aspects. Perhaps the town of Hamlet will take this as its core industry in the future.

Pan Long once suspected that this gem was actually some kind of radioactive substance, but he had already returned all the relevant knowledge to the teacher in another world. He couldn't think of how to test it for a while, so he could only tell the earl about this worry, hoping that the earl could come up with a solution.

The count's reaction was: "The 'radioactive material' you said...is it valuable?"

"This is not a question of whether it is valuable or not...it is just, it is very dangerous..."

"There are too many dangerous things in the world. The key is, is it valuable?"

Pan Long thought hard, and then thought of a lot of allusions.

Finally, all the allusions are summarized into a rising mushroom cloud.

"I think...it should be valuable, as long as future people find their true usage..." he said with some uncertainty.

"That's good." The Count smiled. "If this gem is really the kind of 'radioactive substance' you said, then it would become a precious mine. Wouldn't it be good?"

Pan Long was speechless and could only sigh deeply.

Fortunately, the Count did not really want money but his life. He asked Pan Long for a lot of knowledge about radioactive substances and finally decided to make some lead boxes to preserve such dangerous ores.

Regardless of whether these "star fragments" are radioactive materials or how people outside use it, at least in Hamlet, this kind of stone must be kept in lead boxes to ensure safety.

Anyway, the output of this thing is very low, and a dozen lead boxes are enough, and lead is not expensive.

I just don’t know if people in this world will also find the key to ignite the fire of mass-energy transformation in the future, and whether the stars will become the most expensive "gunpowder" in the world, ignite the big fireworks that bring peace...

While thinking about Star Farm, Pan Long walked down the dilapidated escalator and walked around several bends. Then he suddenly realized that it was a courtyard that was beyond imagination.

The vegetation is everywhere in the courtyard, and the scenery looks pretty good. There is a scarlet fog filled it, and there are many amazingly large mosquitoes flying around in groups, which looks daunting.

For ordinary adventurers, this place can probably be called a magic cave.

But for Pan Long, nothing is here.

He smiled, took a deep breath, and then let out a deafening roar.

His roar shook the air like thunder. With him as the center, the fog fluctuated in circles, forming shock waves that burst out from all sides. Whenever those mosquitoes were touched by this shock wave, they immediately exploded and turned into a pool of blood and fell to the ground.

With just a loud roar, Pan Long swept all the blood-sucking mosquitoes in a radius of at least a hundred meters.

Then, the roar may sound in the middle of the maze, and the blood-colored fog in the maze continued to shake and became thinner.

Moreover, Pan Long is constantly demolishing the maze.

He was impatient to turn around along the roads formed by ruins and trees and vegetation. On the contrary, his choice was to directly level the place.

He punched and shaped energy, and the walls collapsed wherever he passed, and the vegetation collapsed, and the maze turned into flat ground.

In just half an hour, the entire maze was completely flattened by him.

On the edge of the maze, he saw a huge barrier. The black and red color was like dried blood, forming a huge light curtain that enveloped the place.

Pan Long did not try to destroy the light curtain. He was not sure what consequences would be if he used this method to destroy the maze.

Anyway... there are better and more appropriate ways to destroy the maze.

Sure enough, when the maze was leveled, he saw a portal standing on the edge of the maze.

When I opened the door, there was another maze inside.

"Alas? You have to kill the guardian of the first maze to open the second maze? Why didn't I see that monster named 'Baron'?"

Pan Long frowned and muttered to himself.

He tried to recall for a while, and finally remembered that when he swept the maze before, it seemed that maybe... he once killed a guy who looked like a noble dress when he punched a large area of ​​walls and vegetation.

OK, it doesn't matter anyway.

Next, this scene happened twice again.

Pan Long did not intend to deal with the vampire "Countess" and the transformed vampire nobles. He did not like these dog officials who squeezed people's wealth and ointment, let alone they feed on people!

And, most importantly, no matter where these guys live, they will spread curses continuously, giving birth to blood-sucking mosquitoes and spread thirstemia.

This is really an irreconcilable contradiction.

So during the process of sweeping the entire maze, he acted extremely violent and barbaric, like a wild boar rushing down from the mountain, rushing around until the entire maze was destroyed, and then he stopped.

When the last female vampire, the "Countess" who was at the source of thirstemia, also fell under his knife, Pan Long shook his head and sighed.

Speaking of which, this female vampire was also cheated by the old earl. However, she also had the idea of ​​cheating the old earl. Both sides had their own ulterior motives, so it was impossible to say who was sorry to anyone.

As for those nobles who became vampires because of this cheating couple.

Well, you're dying!

If they are not dead, how could the contemporary Count Hamlet be free to display without any constraints and bring a new look to this land?

Anyway, when facing the suffering of the poor, the nobles always use words such as "this is a necessary price". For the sake of the progress of the Count Hamlet leadership, their death is also a necessary price!

After destroying all the vampires, the maze trembled violently. Soon, the entire maze completely collapsed, and Pan Long stood in the courtyard of the old castle again.

However, compared with before, this courtyard seemed more and more ruined, and there were many mummies on the ground.

Those were the nobles who were transformed into vampires. In fact, they had already died long ago, but they could still "live" in the devil's cave as a vampire.

Pan Long did not clean up the corpses, but directly set a fire and burned the corpses to ashes.

He was not sure if the power of the thirst blood curse would be retained on these corpses, in short, it would be better to completely eliminate them.

Just as the last mummy turned into ashes in the flames, the thirsia patients locked in the hospital ward opened their eyes one after another.

They felt their hearts suddenly become relaxed, and they seemed to have taken off their burdens and were no longer pressed by invisible things. Even when they looked at the things around them, they no longer saw the vague blood color, and became normal again.

After a while, the doctor arrived and carefully examined their bodies, confirming that the scarlet patterns that would continue to grow on their bodies had disappeared completely.

These unlucky infected people have finally recovered their health!

The news spread quickly and everyone was very happy. Even the priests who had said before, "Instead of watching them die in pain or even turn into monsters, it is better to purify them with flames."

In any case, burning a living person to ashes is not a happy thing.

The era of witch hunting has long passed, and the wheel of history in this world is gradually moving towards science.

Panlong returned to Count Hamlet's villa and selectively told him something about the Scarlet Garden.

The Count didn't care about the dissipation of the maze, but instead he was glad that the town had removed a huge threat.
To be continued...
