Jia Lan gently rubbed his painful brow. This Red Dragon Cult ruins is like a maze, full of unknown mysteries.

  The four vassal underground races, the cold spring tribe lizard hunters who colluded with the JQ Association, the dragon ranch in the lower layer of Gusyasdi Forest, the vampire owl wood...

  There are many areas that have not been set foot on. Potential danger points such as the mausoleum hall, the dragon worship cemetery, and the dark well make people feel cold.

  Although it seems calm at present, as the guardian of this ruins, Jia Lan cannot turn a blind eye to these potential threats.

  Combining the existing intelligence and the story of Elder Blood Mane, Jia Lan gradually pieced together some clues.

  The large number of dark mocha rats raised in the rat cage hall may not be used for combat, but as a delicacy for the dragons raised by the Red Dragon Cult.

  The flying head barbarian that led them into the ruins was probably the blood-sucking owl tree in the lower layer of Gusyas Disen. Elder Bloodmane once mentioned that a blood-sucking demon was sealed in that owl tree.

  Jia Lan pondered over what else could create a blood-sucking creature like the flying head barbarian, except for undead creatures like vampires.

  However, this clue was not a good sign for Jia Lan, because it meant that the demon seal in the Gusyas blood-sucking owl tree was gradually loosening, and it might even extend its tentacles beyond the surface through derivatives like the flying head barbarian.

  Many mysteries were intertwined, making Jia Lan feel a little confused. The current priority was to solve the cold spring tribe lizard hunters who colluded with the JQ Association, because they controlled a secret waterway leading to the outside world, which was another exit from this underground world besides the dungeon controlled by Jia Lan.

  Why did the JQ Association collude with the lizard hunters? What was their purpose? Why were they eyeing this underground world?

  This hidden danger must be eliminated!

  Because if the people of the JQ Association break the seal of the vampire demon in ignorance, once it breaks free, it will bring a terrible catastrophe to the surface world!

  Solving these problems is urgent, not just to protect one's own property!

  What worries Jia Lan now is that the exit of the underground world is not the only one. Since the vampire demon can send the flying head barbarians into the Doom Castle, it may also escape from the underground world from another exit!

  Once this vampire spreads in the surface world, its destructive power will be comparable to a plague!

  The Uga dwarves who received the "holy land call" are migrating to the "holy land". After cleaning up the explored ruins, 1,600 mercenaries of the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Corps were transferred to the Dusk Slope by Captain Kenmet to assist the Uga dwarves of the Liemane Clan in guarding the lower level of Gusyasdisen.

  And the Uga dwarves who have moved to the holy land, after settling down, were also arranged by Jia Lan to upgrade everyone's equipment!

  A large amount of materials purchased from the surface world were transported to the ruins, and the tools of the blacksmith's workshop were installed in a specially vacated hall. The dwarves were enthusiastically engaged in forging work.

  Due to the problem of the ruins, Jia Lan has been stranded under the Doom Castle. The news from above shows that the situation in Kolan City is also serious. A large number of street gangs are rampant in Kolan City, and the city guards under the Civil Affairs Council are difficult to suppress.

  What's worse is that since the "Seven Continents Magic Academy Joint Competition" held by Komo Academy was held in Kelan City, a large number of magic academy teams from all over the seven continents gathered here, resulting in a high density of foreign mercenary groups responsible for escorting them to Kelan City.

  Even mercenaries from the same mercenary guild branch often have conflicts, and it is almost impossible for mercenaries from different places to live in peace. During their stay in Kelan City, these foreign mercenary groups almost messed up the public security of Kelan City!

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  Every tavern has become a battlefield for local mercenaries and foreign mercenaries. They are happy to fight for seats, quarrels and some trivial matters, and even more than a dozen large-scale mercenary wars have broken out.

  During this period, various crimes and vicious violent incidents in Kelan City have emerged one after another, making the city guards and mercenary guilds responsible for the city's public security in a mess.

  President Clark was so busy that he had to temporarily hand over the cooperation with the Cole Pharmacy under Jia Lan's name to another partner, Clifford, the president of the Eternal Hammer Auction House, while he fully assisted the city guards in maintaining the city's public security.

  As Jia Lan expected, the more chaotic the environment, the higher the sales performance of Cole Pharmacy. After discovering the various potions supplied in bulk in Cole City, a large number of foreign mercenaries who poured into Cole City almost frantically rushed to buy the stocks of the pharmacy under the name of Cole Pharmacy.

  Although the potion production line of Cole Pharmacy in Doom Castle has been working overtime day and night, the daily potion output has not been delivered to the pharmacy before it is sold out by various organizations that come to pick up the goods.

  In order to stabilize the public security of Cole City and appease the foreign mercenaries who know that there is a bulk supply of potions but cannot get the goods, the Mercenary Guild has to suspend the supply to the outside world and give priority to satisfying these outsiders from all over the world.

  However, this decision has led to dissatisfaction among various forces in Zilargo County that have signed supply contracts with Cole Pharmaceuticals.

  The seemingly amazing output of Cole Pharmaceuticals is actually just a drop in the ocean of the huge demand in Zilargo County.

  Under the situation of supply exceeding demand, forces from all over the country are anxious and even personally send teams to Kolan City in an attempt to "get there first".

  This move undoubtedly plunged Kolan City into a deeper vortex of chaos.

  In this chaos, the mastermind behind the scenes seems to be secretly controlling everything, but the Civil Affairs Council is helpless and lacks solid evidence. They can only watch the situation deteriorate.

  What is more worrying is that there may be people who are trying to disrupt the situation within the Civil Affairs Council, making it difficult to pass emergency decisions.

  In this battle for interests carefully planned by those with ulterior motives, the spokespersons of the major forces in Kolan City, those councilors, were also ruthlessly involved.

  They are busy all day long pursuing personal gain for their family and power, and have no time to take care of civil affairs.

  The paralysis of the city management agency has made the public security situation worse and worse. Merchants have taken advantage of the situation to maliciously hoard supplies and drive up prices. The commercial fleet at the dock has also stopped operating for various reasons. The entire city seems to be about to collapse.

  Komo University, this pure land of academics, was originally immune to this storm, but with the dereliction of duty of the external staff of the college management office, student management fell into chaos and material supply was also stretched.

  This storm finally affected the college, and the "Seven Continents Magic College Joint Competition" that was being prepared was also affected.

  Faced with this dilemma, the College Administration Office and the Mentor Supervision Association angrily dismissed the external staff who had failed to perform their duties and temporarily relieved them of their management positions.

  However, although these external staff were not in a high position, they were the backbone of the college's daily operations. Their departure made the professors and mentors who were used to having someone take care of trivial matters flustered for a while.

  The only thing that was not swept by the storm was the Komo Book Bar. This department, which was run by the library itself, was still well managed and operated, with sufficient supplies, as if it was isolated from the world.

  The College Administration Office and the Tutor Supervision Association noticed this and immediately contacted the Book Bar Management Department, but they were surprised to find that the maverick academic librarian had already left the school.

  During the time that Jia Lan was away, the library and the book bar had been operated by the girls in the management department according to the detailed management system he had formulated.

  This novel management model of student self-governance aroused great interest from the college's senior management. They ordered the Book Bar Management Department to notify the librarian to return to school immediately to assist the college in taking over management responsibilities and ensure the smooth convening of the "Seven Continents Magic School Joint Competition".

  In the ruins of the Dragon Worship Cult under the Castle of Doom, Jia Lan was busy. When he learned the news and returned to the college, it was two days later.

  The three sisters, Alan Hogg, Gasley Brown, and Anlia Brown, who stayed in the library book bar, had already contacted Casey and Div of Doom Castle through several old mercenaries of the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group.

  Casey and Div informed Jia Lan, who was deep underground, of the news through the communication mirror, but now Jia Lan could not get away for a while.

  After finally arranging everything, Jia Lan left the communication mirror to the leader of Kenmet, the elders of the Uga dwarves, and Casey and Div, respectively, in case of emergency, and then hurried back to Komo University.

  Facing a large group of young magic apprentices full of expectations, Jia Lan couldn't help but sigh. Why do troubles always come one after another?
