Chapter 399 A Shocking Plot: Orario Scam Park
"I accept this commission!"
Roy looked at Bell and Welf; someone was offering him two hundred billion Faris, so there was no reason for him to refuse!
Others might not be able to come up with such a huge sum of money, but Roy knew Bell's background and that he held the astonishing wealth left by Alfia, making him a super-rich man with four billion fares.
Spending two billion Farley to buy Welf's release is something perhaps only Bale would do in the entire world.
What does this number mean?
The first-tier weapons used by Finn, Grace, Ais, and others are worth between one and two hundred million falies. Ota's Black Sword is worth four hundred million falies, and the staff wielded by Riveria, known as one of the "Five Supreme Staffs" of the Great Elf, is worth about one billion.
Bell's two billion falies could buy more than a dozen first-tier weapons, five "Black Swords," and two "Great Elves"—all just to help a third-rate blacksmith gain his freedom.
"I'll have someone send the contract over later. Bell, get ready to work for me for the next few decades," Roy said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!"
Bell's eyes lit up, and he quickly chimed in agreement.
Roy smiled slightly. After studying at the school district, Little Bell's mind was indeed smarter than in the original timeline, and he immediately grasped the key point.
Where would the Hestia family, living in an abandoned church, get two billion fali? If Bell were to produce the Supreme Gold Card on the spot, it would inevitably attract attention.
Roy helped Hestia out of consideration for her, and then let her repay him slowly.
This is what we must say to outsiders!
"Thank you, Mr. Roy!"
Bell looked grateful. As expected of Mr. Roy, he was very thoughtful. He didn't feel bad about the two billion Faris. Companions are priceless!
"No need to thank me yet. The matter hasn't been settled yet, and—" Roy's lips curled into a meaningful smile, implying that this matter might not be all good.
This matter is destined to become common knowledge.
Including the fact that Bell owes two billion faeries, which is ten times more than the two hundred million blades in the original timeline, the Hestia Familia will find it much more difficult to recruit people in the future. Who would dare to join such a debt-ridden Familia?
Welf's voice was strained, filled with deep guilt and struggle, "Bell—you're clearly my problem, how could I let you take on this debt for me?"
"Welf!"
Bell shook his head without hesitation, revealing a warm smile with a touch of youthful stubbornness. "It's okay! We can pay the money back slowly. We'll figure something out together; we'll always be able to solve it!"
"Um!"
Looking into Bell's clear, bright eyes, a surge of warmth rushed to the tip of his nose and into his eyes. Welf gripped Bell's hand with all his might.
A brother who could take on two billion in debt for him! Welf made up his mind: forget all that blacksmithing nonsense, from now on he would work like crazy to forge the Crozo magic sword and help Bell pay off this debt as soon as possible.
Are you going to the Kingdom of Lachia?
Why go there?
"I'm going to guild headquarters!"
Roy gave Bell and Welf a mysterious smile, leaving the two completely bewildered. How could they resolve this matter without contacting the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Lachia?
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy activated spatial magic, and ripples resembling water appeared, gradually engulfing his figure.
The shock in Bell and Welf's eyes lingered for a long time as they watched Roy vanish in an instant. The incredible spatial magic was astonishing every time they saw it.
Despite their lingering doubts, the two had complete faith in Roy. If he couldn't do it, then no one in the world could help Welf.
Roy's existence is a miracle!
Guild headquarters, meeting room.
Roy saw the "Guild Pig" again.
"Oh, what a privilege to have you here. Isn't this the busy man who saves the world and spends all his time dating a dozen girls? You actually have time to come here." Royman sneered.
"Heh." Listening to Royman's barbed and sarcastic words, Roy smiled calmly. Of course, he knew why the other party's attitude was so bad.
The key tool for controlling the man-made maze!
During this time, the guild's higher-ups invited him countless times to discuss obtaining the Daedalus Orb and gaining complete control of the man-made labyrinth!
Roy, on the other hand, was busy dating, taking his girls to dungeons and leveling up their stats, ignoring them time and time again.
Roy chuckled, "President, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary adventurer."
Upon hearing this, Royman was speechless. Did you laugh to yourself when you said that?
"Enough talk, hand over the jewel that controls that labyrinth!" Royman suddenly stood up.
Roy remained unfazed. "What? Robbery!"
"You should know how important that labyrinth is. It must be kept in the guild's hands, which is also Lord Uranus's intention!" Royman slammed his hands on the table, staring intently at the boy in front of him.
Royman roared, trying to overpower the boy with the authority of the guild and the great god Uranus.
But Roy was not scared at all.
"If that's what you're saying, then we have nothing more to say." Roy made a move to leave.
"etc!"
Royman instinctively called out to the boy.
He had no choice but to shout, because if Roy used spatial magic, he would instantly disappear, and then it would be Roy's turn to cry.
Having finally met Roy, Royman had to resolve the issue of the man-made maze.
Roy sat back down in his chair, crossed his legs, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Feeling manipulated, Royman's momentum waned. He gritted his teeth and demanded, "What exactly do you want?"
"President, it's not about what I want, but about showing sincerity," Roy said dismissively.
Roy also knew that the man-made maze was of great importance. Now that it had been exposed, it was impossible to keep it. Even his own house couldn't keep an eye on it. If a few people went in every day to dismantle the walls and doors, it would soon be empty.
If the guild wants it, then give it to them!
But at least it should sell for a good price.
The materials inside the artificial maze are the accumulation of the Daedalus family over thousands of years, and with the help of the dark factions in recent decades, they are priceless even if sold as scrap metal! If the guild wants to get it for free, they might as well dismantle it; that would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
"Like the elevator, the Astraea Familia owns a 10% stake —" Lloydman.
"Ha!" Roy scoffed.
"12% of the shares?" Royman continued.
"President Royman, if you're not being sincere, then let's talk another day. I just wonder what will happen to that maze in the meantime. As far as I know, it still has several entrances and exits that haven't been exposed." Roy got up and stretched.
Seeing Roy's smugness, Royman wanted nothing more than to punch the boy in the face.
But if the other party dares to make a move, Roy guarantees he'll kick this fat pig to death. How many dishes did he have to drink to get this drunk!
Reuman's eyes flickered, and after a moment of hesitation, all his anger and resentment turned into frustration. "40% of the shares, that's our bottom line!"
Roy's previous avoidance of meeting had already made the guild's higher-ups impatient, and their asking price was extremely low.
This is the true meaning of feigning indifference to lure someone in.
"Can!"
Roy's lips curled up. "If only we had done this sooner."
"Hmph!" Royman snorted coldly.
Roy may have simply handed over the key to control the maze and received a 40% stake, but only Royman knew just how terrifying this young man was.
He had an investigation report in his hand.
After the labyrinth was exposed, the guild also sent people in to investigate, and found countless corpses on each floor.
It sent chills down the spines of countless people!
Who was it? Who killed tens of thousands of people in one fell swoop!
No wonder the dark faction has been so well-behaved lately; it turns out they were secretly wiped out long ago!
According to their autopsy reports, judging from the wound marks, those tens of thousands of people all died by "suicide," but no one believed that the dark faction really committed suicide.
The only one who knows the truth is this young man in front of you.
Looking at Roy's harmless and handsome face, Royman felt only deep apprehension and even a strong sense of fear.
This boy might actually be a mass murderer!
Roy said, "Guild Master, there's one more thing. Don't you think Orario's combat strength is a bit lacking?"
"???"
Royman's fat twitched, and he looked at the other person with a strange expression. Are you kidding me?
Apart from the period when Zeus and Hera's Familia reached their peak, this time was arguably the period of Orario's most vigorous development in thousands of years!
The four major families of Astraea, Loki, Freya, and Ganesha, along with other prominent families from various fields such as Hermes and Hephaestus—
Roy knew exactly what the other was thinking, and said quietly, "If there are so many powerful forces, how could Dionysus have stirred up trouble? And with the Black Dragon in the future, what will this world become?"
Royman's facial muscles became stiff.
Yes, Orario's development has been rapid, but its enemies are becoming increasingly terrifying.
Who could have imagined that a god assassin would devour a god and nearly destroy the world?
The guild has repeatedly issued orders and imposed heavy penalties to prohibit gods from entering the dungeon. For example, in the Black Bull incident, Loki and Hermes still paid the fines.
But a black monster appeared on the ground.
He devoured two gods and nearly destroyed the world!
If Roy hadn't pulled out Gungnir, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Gungnir was only a one-time use replica; if it came again, Roy wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
And in the future, there will be that final beast—the Black Dragon!
Our combat strength is not only insufficient, but even if it were increased tenfold or a hundredfold, it might not be enough to meet the demand!
"Just say what you have to say!"
Royman's face darkened. If that dead dragon were to destroy the world, he would also lose his power.
Faced with the immense external pressure and conflict from Heilongjiang, everyone must unite.
Roy smiled and said, "I have a suggestion: let the forces of other countries and major cities enter Orario, so they can also use the dungeons for training."
"impossible!"
Royman's eyes widened, and he said decisively, "You're insane! They're a pack of wolves and tigers!"
It is widely acknowledged that Orario strictly prohibits the outflow of its combat power!
Adventurers must undergo countless checks before they can leave the city, let alone gods.
Roy wasn't referring to people from other countries or major cities, but rather to powerful figures, which is why the latter reacted so strongly. These people are indeed readily available fresh blood, unlike complete newcomers who require sending advisors, slow training, and a very long growth cycle.
But it's difficult for those people to stay in Orario.
Once their strength increases, they will inevitably return to their original country, and may even turn their guns against Orario.
Don't underestimate the allure of Orario to other countries.
This city, hailed as the "center of the world," boasts an underground city—a secret realm combining treasures, training, and many other functions—and the most developed magic stone industry.
If you let different countries and major cities compete for the honor of being the "second largest city in the world," they will fight tooth and nail. But if you say that Orario is the "number one city in the world," then absolutely no one will object!
The rulers of countless countries and major cities dream of conquering Orario and making it their own.
The reason they couldn't do it was entirely because the adventurers in Orario were so powerful. A single LV.5 adventurer could take on ten thousand enemies, and LV.6 and LV.7 adventurers were even more terrifying.
Allow other factions to enter Orario and improve their strength through dungeon training.
How is this any different from aiding the enemy?!
"President, don't worry, I certainly have a reliable solution." Roy naturally understood the other party's concerns.
"Huff! Huff!"
With bloodshot eyes and heavy breathing, Royman was determined that no matter how eloquently the boy spoke, he would never agree to such a thing!
"We can't let those people leave easily now that we've brought them to Orario for training!" Roy laughed.
Royman frowned. "You mean...?"
Roy continued, "The collateral—each of those forces entering the city must submit collateral or a deposit of varying value, depending on their rank. Once they leave Orario, these things cannot be easily used. If they attempt to harm Orario in the future, they naturally don't need to return them; everything will be confiscated—"
Just hearing Roy's description made Royman's pupils dilate and his eyes shine brightly.
Daigo empowerment!
His mind was brimming with inspiration.
As outsiders level up through the dungeon, their deposits will continue to rise. At that point, Orario will have hundreds of millions, or even billions, of the other side's funds, which is equivalent to holding their lifeline in their hands.
If money is insufficient, use domestic mineral resources.
If anyone dares to harm Orario in the future, we will wipe out all their assets in those countries and major cities!
It's perfectly legitimate!
They cannot easily leave the city, and those forces can only be used as pawns, obediently serving their purposes.
"Tsk tsk!"
This move was truly insidious, a blatant scheme. Royman looked at the handsome young man before him, his face filled with shock. How could the other man's brain be so clever as to come up with such a vicious plan?
Anyway, they have the dungeon, so the initiative is in their hands. They can come or not, I'd be happy if they didn't!
"President, you should have noticed that Orario's development is nearing its limit," Roy said.
The latter remained silent, inwardly marveling at Roy's keen economic acumen; he truly deserved to be the man who single-handedly supported Astraea and the Soma Familia.
Orario's territory is only so big!
Economic development has stagnated for several years, neither rising nor falling. However, Orario's most important duties are suppressing the dungeons and cultivating heroes to defeat the Black Dragon, so no one cares about economic issues.
Roy laughed, "Simply closing the city gates will only lead to stagnation. Utilizing the resources of other countries and major cities to develop the city can also incentivize adventurers within, allowing for simultaneous economic and military growth. What do you think?"
How about that? It's double happiness, of course!!
Roy only put forward an idea, but it was enough to make Royman feel incredibly excited and thrilled.
If he succeeds, he will be the greatest guild master in Orario's history, without exception, and his position will be unshakeable from now on!
Furthermore, by transforming into a demon, his lifespan is extended, allowing him to remain firmly seated for hundreds of years.
Reuman had long since lost his initial resistance, leaving only a strong desire to develop the city.
Royman hesitated, "Wouldn't it be too radical to let so many external forces flood in all at once?"
Roy nodded. "That concern is valid, so we need to pilot it, take it slowly, and not rush it!"
It's very easy to talk to smart people.
Royman immediately understood Roy's meaning: first, let one or two countries or major cities come in to test the waters; if the results are good, then continue to introduce them.
It was a very aggressive strategy, yet it was also steady and reliable, which reassured Reuman.
Which country do you think should be invited first?
"The Kingdom of Lachia!"
"Um?"
Royman frowned. He remembered that Roy's hometown was the Kingdom of Lachia. Being timid and suspicious, he couldn't help but have a slight doubt: Could this kid be planning to bring in a large group of people to cause trouble?
Then, Royman shook his head secretly.
It's highly unlikely! Everyone knows that Roy has awakened spatial magic, and if he wants to bring people into Orario, no one can stop him.
There's no need to go to such lengths.
Even if Royman racked his brains, he probably couldn't have imagined that Roy wasn't working for the benefit of his "hometown," but rather that fellow countrymen would stab each other in the back!
Upon hearing this question, Roy's map of the Yan Kingdom was finally fully laid out.
The guild makes money from this, but they won't share it with him!
Roy's goal is to help Bell get people out of trouble and break the contract between Welf and the Kingdom of Lachia.
The important thing is to reduce the importance of Welf!
The Kingdom of Lachia acquired the Demon Sword of Clozo simply to enhance its military strength and launch external invasions.
Roy gave them the opportunity directly, sending people to Orario to train. High-level adventurers are much more useful than weapons like magic swords that break after a few uses!
Once this opportunity is given, Welf's usefulness will decrease, and then it will be possible to hire him.
If the Kingdom of Lachia said, "I want them all!"
Roy will personally go to the capital to see if the other side has the strength!
As for the people of the Kingdom of Lachia, once their strength increases, if they want to return and launch a war to invade other countries, Roy's conditions will completely block them, along with the insane vetting process when Orario leaves the city.
In short, make money and spend it all in the city, and don't even think about taking anything home. Welcome to the Oralori Park!
Moreover, the difficulty of leveling up for adventurers is well-known.
Not everyone can be like Roy, leading people to improve their attributes. Those countries and major cities don't become powerful for four or five years, or even more than ten years.
Four or five years from now, the Black Dragon will be out of the woods, and anyone who tries to cause trouble will be doomed.
By the time the kingdom discovered these traps, it was too late! They had already fallen into the pit Roy had prepared.
