After looking at Iris for a moment, Carl nodded and agreed to the other party's plan.

But he is not the kind of person who would hang himself on a tree.

As soon as he agreed to this, Carl started preparing to manufacture new equipment.

No matter what, it's always a good idea to arm yourself.

Not only that, after remembering the chaos in the camp before the psionicist appeared, Carl also made amulets for everyone that could resist the influence of the enchantment spell.

According to his thinking, if he knew the enemy's tactics but didn't try to make up for it, wouldn't he be waiting to be slaughtered by the same tactics again? ...

Late at night, Storm Bay.

After a week-long crackdown on prostitution, the pubs operating in the grey industry have become bustling again.

Joanna was also aware of the rumors on the street, and after confirming that the drow who committed the crime had escaped, she released the tavern owners.

Mitris directly resigned from the acting chief of the Sheriff's Bureau, hired someone to renovate a raw bar, and planned to take over the previous "tavern" and become the largest underground broker in Storm Bay.

Today is the first day that the Afterlife Bar opens, and many adventurers have come to see what's going on.

The entire three floors of the bar were almost full of people.

The Yueling maid temporarily acted as a waiter, and high-quality drinks and various fruit plates were served to the guests in a queue.

But when doing business, it is inevitable that there will be bad customers.

Just as the ordinary guests were toasting each other, a not-so-harmonious voice suddenly rang out.

"Afterlife Bar? This name seems a bit unlucky. I'm not going to die right after drinking a drink here, am I?"

The voice was extremely arrogant, and even had a hint of drunkenness in it.

Some adventurers nearby frowned and looked over. Some of them recognized him, but more adventurers had no idea who he was.

"Who is this guy? Don't you know that this guy is from the artificer?"

In a booth, a young adventurer who had just arrived in Storm Bay came up to the leader of the adventure group he had just joined and asked about the origins of the troublemaker.

His leader snorted coldly and then introduced: "Humph, that guy was once the most famous underground broker in Old Storm Bay. You can buy any information from him and issue any mission to him.

But now? Ha! I am just a stray dog ​​who can’t tell its own weight and is about to lose its own kennel.”

As he spoke, the veteran adventurer took a puff of the cigar in his hand and narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

The young adventurer next to him couldn't help coughing because of the pungent smoke, but he also lit up a cigarette and started smoking, just like his boss.

He thought his boss's smoking posture was very handsome.

As if having heard the conversation of this adventure group, an adventurer in the booth next to him walked over unceremoniously with his own gun and naturally joined the discussion.

"Not only that, I heard that the mechanic originally wanted to hand over the Next Life Bar to him, but he didn't like it! Ha, now, all the people under him have run away, it's really retribution!

I originally approached this guy to do something, but later I found out that he not only took advantage of both parties, but also deliberately caused trouble for me to make it more difficult to get my work done. People like this should be killed right away!"

As he was speaking, Midris came down from upstairs, followed by a group of Cyberman bodyguards.

Seeing her appear, both the original "tavern" owner who pretended to be drunk and the owners of other ordinary taverns all looked much more serious.

They came here not to congratulate the Laisheng Bar on its grand opening, but to cause trouble!

After quickly glancing at the crowd, Mitris stretched out her hand, and the bodyguard next to her in a black suit immediately picked up a microphone and handed it to Mitris.

After clearing her throat, she began to speak, "Thank you all for coming here today. I just remembered that there are still a few things I haven't explained clearly to you about the Afterlife Bar."

Having said that, Mitris paused, taking in the expressions of the ordinary guests and those who were about to cause trouble, and then she spoke again: "Everyone should know what the Laisheng Bar is for. We mainly provide the venue, so if anyone here has any business related to drinks, you can come and talk to me later.

Those who want to spend the night with a pretty girl can flirt with her in the bar. There is a hotel next door, so you can do whatever you want there, but try not to get anyone killed."

Almost at the same time when Midris finished saying these two points, several people who had originally begun to move towards Midris were immediately pulled back by the people sitting in the same booth with her.

They are the owners of several other well-known taverns in Storm Bay, and their business is to serve drinks and call girls.

These people had been persuaded not long ago and were planning to find some trouble today when the Next Life Bar opened to make things difficult for Mitris.

But after hearing this, their thoughts immediately changed.

They were making trouble only because their interests might be damaged, but now when they heard Mitris say that she wanted to discuss the wine business and that she was not opposed to call girls from other agencies coming to solicit customers, several of them immediately became reluctant to take risks.

Of course they had seen Mitris before. Several people who were mainly engaged in the pimping business were arrested by Mitris a while ago.

They have a natural fear of the "officials". Once there is no conflict of interest, there will naturally be no other conflicts.

However, Mitris hadn't finished her words yet.

“We mainly provide a freer information exchange platform for everyone.

On the first floor, everyone can discuss anything they want; the second floor is only open to members and the environment is more private; the third floor is only open to VIP members. We will provide exclusive rooms for customers to discuss matters, and if a notarization is required, we can also provide a notary.

Please note that anyone can apply for membership and VIP membership. We encourage those smart guys to earn commissions by relying on information advantages, but we will also crack down on those who try to defraud. "

Most of them were information collectors employed by the tavern owner, but after listening to what Mitris said, they began to consider the possibility of working on their own.

Afterwards, Mitris said some polite words about how everyone needed to obey the law in the bar.

But all these words were automatically filtered out by the adventurers as if they were wind passing by their ears.

In the end, the only ones who were still determined to cause trouble for Mitris were the tavern owner and a few people who were bitter and resentful because the casino was closed.

But there were only six of them.

When Midris passed by them, these people rushed forward, intending to teach Midris a lesson.

However, as two jet-black blade lights flashed, these people were knocked unconscious by the back of the mantis blade.

"Humph! If I hadn't cared about the customers here, I would have chopped your intestines in half!"

Thinking a little annoyed in her heart, Midris changed her arms back to their original positions and signaled the younger brothers behind her to ask the sheriff on the opposite side to come and take the people away.

Soon, several criminals who intended to commit crimes were taken into custody.

…

In the second half of the night, Carl distributed the prepared equipment to the first group of drow who were on night watch.

Most of these equipment are made using Giant Runes, and each time they are activated, they require a certain amount of time to accumulate magic recovery effects again.

This is different from the principle of most current equipment and props, and is not as convenient.

But considering the current situation, this equipment is sufficient.

Karl didn't expect these drow and fire genasi who hadn't obtained a profession yet or were only level 1 or 2 to kill many enemies.

Their only task is to hold on until Carl and the others react.

"Should we prepare some rune stones that can turn them invisible? If they can't win, they can always run away, right?"

During these days, Carl would translate and try out the page of giant spell fragments found in the giant ruins after falling asleep every day.

What's more, he actually developed something systematic.

This is why equipment that takes a long time to charge and can only be used once was created.

Fortunately, they also have the advantages of being simple to produce, having a short production process, and not requiring synchronization, otherwise Carl would have given up this research direction.

Thinking of invisibility, Carl naturally constructed a series of giant runes in his mind, headed by the cloud giant runes.

But when he carved the rune into an experimental rock to try out the effect, the rune stone just flickered and nothing happened.

Carl, who didn't believe in evil, tried to activate the rune stone again, but found that a phantom appeared above the rune stone.

That was exactly the image that Carl had just used to try to activate the rune stone effect, except that it was only the size of a palm.

"Hmm~, is the effect of this arrangement and combination an illusion? Maybe I can use it in recording illusion dramas in the future, so I'll write it down first!"

The combined effects of different runes are different, and Carl is still exploring this aspect.

Taking out a notebook, Carl wrote down the string of runes with strange effects on the paper.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Taking out the pocket watch made of Eberron and Khyber dragon crystal, Carl looked at the time and found that it was time for him to go to bed.

"Is it already this late? I almost stayed up all night! My life is at stake! Go to sleep!"

Standing up, Karl walked naturally to his usual seat.

Hope and Ying had adjusted their seats to supine mode and crawled into their sleeping bags.

Feeling that Carl had returned, they opened their eyes and looked for a moment, then continued to close their eyes and sleep.

In order not to disturb everyone, Carl carefully got into his seat and closed his eyes.

The surroundings were quiet, and the drow and fire genasi on patrol tried not to make any noise.

In the distance, the sounds made by monitor lizards seeking mates flickered.

The fluorescence emitted by the mushrooms seemed to become dimmer due to the influence of time.

The rising water vapor gathered above the cave and eventually turned into rain and fell down.

The rustling sound of the drizzle is a catalyst that helps people fall asleep. Before they know it, everyone is sleeping more soundly.

When Carl felt that he had fully recovered and opened his eyes again, it was already noon.
