"A game without money?"

Looking at Mitris with some embarrassment, Nia thought for a moment, but for a moment she couldn't think of anything.

Unlike most people, she is someone who can treat alchemical experiments as entertainment.

If Mitris asked her about the 56 uses of dragon's blood or the 108 ways to purify healing potions, she could talk about it for half a day.

But if you ask her if she has any fun games...

Shaking her head, Nia leaned back in her chair.

"Why don't you ask Lisanna? She and Carl are more knowledgeable about this."

When Carl was in the first grade, in addition to making toys for adults, Carl also made many things for children to play with.

This made Nia always feel that Karl was very proficient in this area.

Following this line of thought, Lisanna, as Carl's childhood sweetheart, should also be familiar with this.

"Hmm? What? You guys need me for something?"

Hearing her name, Lisanna, who had been busy for some time, suddenly ran over from a distance.

She was wearing a close-fitting armor with a mechanical texture, and a folding machine like a mortar was hung on her back. She looked like she had just returned from an adventure zone.

"Are you going out on a mission?"

Looking at Lisanna's outfit, Mitris was a little surprised for a moment.

She felt like she had only been away for a few days, so why had Lisanna changed so much?

However, after hearing what Midris said, Lisanna actually looked at her with resentment.

"It's because you resigned as the chief of the Public Security Bureau! Joanna actually came to me for help!"

As she spoke, Lisanna seemed to have all her strength drained away and she fell into Mitris's arms, rubbing her little face against the soft and upright position.

"It shouldn't have come to this. Did those idiots cause you trouble? Or did they just push the problem onto you?"

Seeing that Lisanna seemed very tired, Mitris's tone unconsciously took on a bit of gloom.

However, Lisanna didn't seem to notice this, and continued to speak unenthusiastically:

"That's not the case. It's just that Brother Karl asked Eruden for a group of rangers to come to Storm Bay to help maintain peace, but he seemed to have forgotten about it later. Now that they are here, I am busy taking them to familiarize themselves with the area around Storm Bay."

With a sad face, Lisanna looked like she didn't want to say anything more.

But she posed for a long time but did not receive the comfort she expected.

Looking up, Lisanna found that Mitris and Nia were looking at her speechlessly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Because the gaze was so oppressive, Lisanna's voice unconsciously became much softer.

Seeing this, Mitris asked with some regret, "Is it possible that Joanna entrusted you with the work of the Public Security Bureau just to let you arrange those rangers from Eruden to work in the Public Security Bureau?"

Lisanna: “Huh?”

Seeing her silly look, Nia looked through the official news files and saw the news that Ranger Eruden had arrived in Storm Bay two days ago.

Because she has always trusted Joanna's ability to get things done, she rarely reads official information.

Unexpectedly, this actually made her miss these things.

Putting down the documents, Nia looked at Lisanna and said helplessly, "Hurry up and notify those rangers to move into the police station. Once you're done, come back and give your suggestions to Midris's bar renovation plan."

…

Underdark, Bling City.

After crossing long tunnels and canyons, Carl and his companions finally arrived at the largest city around the Earth Gate.

This place is ruled by three drow tribes and is the most productive place in the Underdark.

Over the long years, this city has changed hands more than once.

However, compared to its current name, Elise prefers to call it Blingdenstone City.

According to her, this was once a temporary camp built by the giants when they were building the Earth Gate. Later, the drow discovered it and transformed it into its current appearance based on the camp.

Carl had little interest in the history of the drow; he just wanted to know how his army of constructs could continue to advance.

"If we go straight in, there will definitely be problems. Look, those drow have already started to close the city gates. Could the Rose Cult have already taken control of the city? Otherwise, should we fight them over?"

In the team of quietly standing constructs, Elohine, who goes by the alias Ashe, was watching the fun and encouraging Carl to attack the city of Bling.

Carl was still very tempted by this proposal.

But considering that these drow were not directly hostile to him and he was not clear about the actual power held by this city, he finally gave up this plan.

Cities and countries that have survived through a long history are more or less special.

Although Carl did not study history in depth, most of his teachers thought so.

Just when Carl was thinking about whether to take Ashe and Elise, two unstable factors, to the city of Brunn for negotiations, a drow used the Feather Fall spell to jump down from the city wall of Brunn, which had already closed the city gate, and then rushed over here.

"Is this the envoy who came before the two armies engaged in battle?"

Seeing this situation, Carl was a little confused. He had already prepared himself for the possibility that the other party was a member of the Rose Sect.

And if this is true, the city of Buling could just pretend to agree first, and then launch the attack after Carl and his men entered the city.

Although doing so may cause many buildings in the city to be destroyed, fighting at home will ensure that they have a greater advantage.

Ashe was also stunned when she saw the drow running towards the team.

Before she came, she had already lobbied the matriarch of one of the tribes in Buling City, and was waiting for Carl's troops to reach halfway before launching a surprise attack and involving the other two tribes.

The Rose Cult will later support the tribe in completely taking control of the city of Bling.

This plan is not a thorough one, and the conspiracies and intrigues that the drow tribes occupying the main cities in the Underdark perform every day may be more complicated than this.

But a good conspiracy must be logical and difficult to explain.

Ashe, who has already had a preliminary understanding of Carl through intelligence, is very confident about the success rate of her plan.

"What's going on? Did the mistress change her mind? This shouldn't happen! Her heir has secretly joined our Rose Cult. If she changes her mind, we can support her heir to take the throne and continue to implement the plan. But what's going on now?"

Ashe quickly thought about various contingency plans for this plan, but she couldn't figure out what the current situation meant.

Finally, while Ashe was pretending to be indifferent but actually extremely anxious, the messenger from the city of Brunn arrived in front of the battle.

"Dear guest from afar, Saint Elohine of the Rose Cult has started a rebellion in our city. We have no intention of clashing with you, but we still need to clean up the city.

If you want to go through here, you can turn right here and there is a fork in the road that leads to the Earth Gate, just a little further away."

Ash: “Huh?”
