Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 196 Timing Research Society

In addition to the group of adventurers and the professional guild that is making troubles, there is another guy who is having a headache in Cangxing City.

The old vampire who is the mayor of Cangxing City is numb now.

Leaving aside the issue of his son's death, he had quite a few heirs, and although Amat was one of the few outstanding ones, it was not unacceptable that he just died of a man who could be made.

Compared with the loss of his son, the loss of his old friend, the secret art assassin, was an unbearable loss for the old vampire.

Although their adventure group was disbanded many years ago due to internal conflicts, some old friends in the adventure group still have contact and are willing to help friends at critical moments.

Now the death of an old friend is considered earthquake-level news in their disbanded adventure group. In the 300 years since drinking the fountain of youth, they have only lost one teammate. That guy was a complete adventurer. In the unexplored ultra-high and dangerous land, death is not unjust.

But now this old friend died in his territory, which was still a dangerous place that they had completed their raid at the beginning.

"Something's wrong. If it's a normal command and dispatch, the Wangling with only a group of skeletons left will definitely not be able to keep that guy. Could it be that there is something wrong with the Wangling, and those skeletons can escape? Or is there some other reason..."

Although the old vampire didn't know what happened in the bamboo sea, it was a certainty that he almost lost control, which was not a good thing.

The most important identity of the old vampire is the mayor of Cangxing City. For this identity, the old vampire began to prepare when he was an adventurer, and it took hundreds of years to obtain this identity.

Standing in the position of an old vampire, Cangxing City is not just an area where human adventurers gather. In the southwest of the continent where resources are relatively scarce, there is one middle-level dangerous land and four low-level dangerous lands around Cangxing City. city ​​of.

As the mayor of Cangxing City, the old vampire can share part of the resource output of Cangxing City. Although there are very few high-level resource outputs here, the resource output of the entire city is still extremely amazing.

If the old vampire is still an adventurer, with his individual strength, he can still be active in areas such as the coastal area or the southern part of the mainland, and the value of high-level resources harvested during the adventure should be similar to what he has been the mayor of these years.

But compared to dangerous adventures, being the mayor of Cangxing City is much safer. This will give the old vampire a lot of free time for him to study demonology.

However, becoming the mayor of Cangxing City not only means being able to reap free time and resources, but also has the obligation of being the mayor of Cangxing City.

The old vampire doesn't have a headache because of the quality of life of the residents of Cangxing City, or because the bamboo sea dangerously affects the safety of the residents of Cangxing City. After all, Cangxing City is his tool for collecting resources, and he will not empathize with his own means of production.

His headache now is that he has to report the matter when he almost loses control. This will attract the inspection teams from other cities, and those guys are not easy to deal with.

Cangxing City is not an independent city, or a city of this level does not have the qualifications to be independent.

Cangxing City, together with the other sixteen cities in the southwestern part of the mainland, formed the Seventeen Cities Alliance, which was regarded as the representative of human forces in the southwest region.

But the name of the publicity is the 'Seventeen Cities Alliance'. In fact, anyone who understands the ecology of power in the southwest region knows that the weaker cities in the Seventeen Cities Alliance are pure cash machines.

Nominally speaking, the powerful 'upper four cities' will provide shelter for other cities, ensuring that weak cities like Cangxing City will not be invaded by external forces.

But what they say and what they do often cannot be coordinated. The oath of the Seventeen Cities Alliance is quite loose.

From the actual operation point of view, the current upper four cities are short of taking out a dog chain to tie up those disadvantaged cities. Anyway, the Seventeen Cities Alliance in the southwest region is considered the biggest force, and the asylum contract has basically never been triggered.

5.00% of Cangxing City's annual resource output is allocated to each of the upper four cities. In this way, one-fifth of the resources are taken by these guys for nothing.

To maintain the normal operation of Cangxing City every year, it needs to spend 60.00% of the resource output, and the remaining resources are the reserves used by Cangxing City to develop itself.

This is because there are five dangerous lands around Cangxing City, the resource output is not bad compared to other cities, and there is still a lot of profit left.

Some cities have been exploited by the upper four cities year after year, and the public security and the quality of life of the people in the cities are quite bad.

Of course, the mayors of those cities and other decision-makers said that as long as the upper four cities are not disturbed and their own resources are not affected, starving people to death is a small problem, and obtaining resources by themselves is the most important thing.

In a world where there is a huge gap in individual strength, the strong naturally retain the oppression of the weak. The Cangxing City governed by the old vampires is relatively mild. Level ten and the average level of adventurers in the city is only over ten levels. In this situation, they can't even resist.

"Once the inspection team from the upper four cities comes to Cangxing City, I won't be able to live a stable life in the next few years. Even if my research is exposed, my life should be thrown here."

The main job of the old vampire is a demon scholar transferred from a historian. Demons are taboo in this world. In the main idea of ​​the whole society, everything related to demons should not be contaminated.

Just when the old vampire was having a headache, news from the Seventeen Cities Alliance also came back to him.

A crystal stone was broken, and a light and shadow was projected from the magic communication device, and informed the old vampire of the decision of the upper four cities.

The content of the decision made the old vampire gasp.

"The inspection team has already set off for Cangxing City, but they are only accompanying personnel. The main investigator who lost control this time is actually a member of the [Timing Research Society]?!"

The upper four cities asked the old vampire to do a good job in reception. After all, the investigators who came this time were very powerful, and they were not locals from the southwest region.

The old vampire who has been adventuring outside for many years has heard the name of [Time Series Research Society]. It is a unique force created by a group of crazy mages gathered together. They do everything they can to study the magic of time.

There are not many members in this organization, and there are only a few hundred people at full count. Many people are just here to hang up their names, and they are in a state of being indifferent.

But no one dared to question the influence of this organization. After all, this group of crazy mages had extremely strong individual combat power, and each member had super-large war weapons.
