Chapter 56: The Seductive Maid’s Balancing Act

It was Sunday.

Hall prepared to go to the Demon God’s Labyrinth.

These past two days, Lorraine and Lov had been highly focused on the matter of Hall’s fiancée.

He couldn’t take it anymore, so he put on a show and wrote a reply to the College of Cardinals, asking about his fiancée.

And given the nature of the College of Cardinals, they probably wouldn’t reply to him anytime soon.

He had to take this opportunity to develop himself.

However, Hall thought again and discovered a more fatal problem.

He had the matter of his fiancée to deal with, so before Ye Wangxue broke off the engagement, he probably wouldn’t be able to leave Saint Louis.

He was numb, truly numb.

School wasn’t very safe either. He heard that Leticia was considering changing classes.

As for where she would transfer, it wasn’t Hall being narcissistic.

He was being proactive. There was a high probability she would transfer to his class.

The Child family had a lot of power. Leticia could go wherever she wanted.

And considering the Child family’s way of doing things.

Even if they objected, they couldn’t go against Leticia. But if Leticia insisted on liking him, Hall, what should they do?

If they couldn’t solve the problem, then they would solve the person who created the problem.

If those old men were pushed to the brink, the Child family really might send him on his way.

As for the consequences of killing a duke’s son?

Consequences?

What couldn’t money solve? For the Child family, it was too easy to buy a few scapegoats.

It was just that the Child family would consider the ratio of cost to return.

In this matter, if Leticia insisted on liking him, Hall, and even wanted to become Mrs. Faxtius, it meant that she would bring a large portion of the family’s assets to him.

Then the old men of the Child family would probably be willing to use any means necessary.

A headache.

He got a headache just thinking about it.

“Young Master, are you planning to set out?”

Lov’s attire had become more formal recently.

It wasn’t too revealing. In order to deal with the future Mrs. Faxtius and the long-term presence of Lorraine at home, the young maid had started to adopt a different style.

It was the kind that looked like she was wearing a lot, but used sheer or hollowed-out fabric in key areas.

Very seductive, but not completely.

“Yes, I might be back late today.”

“Okay, Young Master, I’ll tell the Young Miss. Where are you going, Young Master?”

“To the Demon God’s Labyrinth. What are you telling Lorraine for?”

“Ah, nothing, Young Master. You should go. Are you going alone, or do you have an appointment?”

Lov was actually worried that someone was with Hall.

Telling Lorraine in advance was a reverse form of insurance.

Now, seeing Hall nod and confirm that he was alone, she was relieved.

Soon, Hall officially left.

But before that, because the Demon God’s Labyrinth was in the northeast suburbs of Saint Louis, he had to go to the Black Knight Order to get a permit.

“The procedures were done quite quickly this time. The College of Cardinals hasn’t completely let go of their suspicions about me, probably because of that letter. I’m about to have a fiancée, so I can’t escape anywhere.”

Hall quickly left the city with the pass.

Upon seeing the continuous high white walls of Saint Louis, known as the Holy Wall, a sense of familiarity came over him.

“I’ve seen it in the game, but I never expected to experience it in person. It’s so magnificent… But this sense of familiarity, as if I had made the same exclamation at some point long ago…”

Hall cleared his head and repeatedly confirmed this strange sense of déjà vu.

He probably had indeed transmigrated a long time ago.

But why did he have amnesia?

And this amnesia was very strange.

He retained the memories of Hall from the game, but had no memory of things like meeting Leticia in advance.

It had been erased.

“Strange, I’ll stop thinking about this for now. I’ll get the treasure to save my life first…”

Then the black-haired young man continued to walk further out along the road.

The transportation around Saint Louis was very developed.

The regular roads on the map were almost like a spider web, spreading across the eight main gates of the city.

In addition, there were four black routes, which were the rails of the Holy Train, a masterpiece of creation.

As for the specific location of the Demon God’s Labyrinth, it was about forty miles northeast of Saint Louis, not very close.

So after leaving the city gate, Hall directly used his Black Knight Order ID to rent a magitech vehicle from the gate guards.

He drove there in a flash.

When he arrived.

He could see a huge black hole.

A black hole that appeared abruptly on the horizon.

The entire opening looked to be several kilometers in diameter.

Several roads poured into it from all directions, and then spiraled downwards like stairs.

When he reached the edge, Hall could see that about a hundred meters down, it was full of various houses.

The entire labyrinth was just as the rumors said. The first forty floors had been completely conquered, and the top ten floors were supplied to merchants who had bought storefronts to provide services to adventurers and to workers who worked in some of the forbidden factories in the Papal State’s thirtieth to tenth floors.

And in the game, this first floor had a branch of the Adventurer’s Guild, where you could receive quests. Of course, you could also buy items from various merchants, and there was even a dedicated adventurer’s exchange that refreshed its item categories every day.

If you were lucky, you could buy special items.

So at this moment, after entering the first floor along the spiral road, Hall first planned to see if there were any good goods to buy.

In the end, he only found some magic crystals that others had overlooked.

Although they weren’t of much use, the raw materials of these magic crystals could be sold for a good price after being processed.

According to the prices in the Papal State, where five copper coins could buy a whole loaf of rye bread, one silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins, and one gold coin was equal to one hundred silver coins.

He could make a small profit of a few gold coins just from this transaction.

Sigh, if it weren’t for the fact that his character had a death BUFF.

He would definitely become a professional speculator every day to earn money, and then slack off.

Then Hall took out the small savings he had accumulated and bought a map to compare with the one Himan had given him.

“What I need most now is a weapon. If it’s a special puzzle that gives a reward, it will cause a big commotion. It’s best to only solve one complex puzzle at a time.”

“Then, it’s that thing, the legendary weapon—Rainbow Sky Sword…”

Hall recalled in his mind.

On the fortieth floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth, which was now the frontline of the entire liberated area, there was a special weapon.

In the guide, the Rainbow Sky Sword was basically a must-get if the conditions were met.

Because this sword had very balanced stats, and its special active effect—Rainbow Sky, could blind all enemies on the field for a short period of time.

It was equivalent to a large-scale crowd control.

Very useful.

The passive effect was to freely switch between seven specialized effects during battle.

For example, specializing in movement speed, attack power, defense power, and so on.

Plus, the fortieth floor could actually be easily conquered by a team with an average level of about fifty.

When Hall played any heroine’s route, he would consider getting this weapon immediately.

He was also most familiar with the puzzle-solving process.

“Okay, this is it.”

After confirming the loot for this time.

Hall immediately got a pass from the Adventurer’s Guild and set off downwards.

But he ran into an acquaintance halfway.
