Chapter 439 Detailed Discussion of the Secret Room

Early the next morning, I rushed to the adventurer base to find Master Hall.

When he received me, Master Hall was having breakfast, a bowl of porridge, an egg, a glass of milk and several plates of exquisite-looking side dishes.

He asked me to sit down and ordered someone to bring another bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and a spoon. The bowl was filled with hot porridge.

I was not polite. I picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge. I smacked it twice and found that the porridge had no taste at all. I was a little disappointed.

In my impression, for such a high-ranking person, even if he eats porridge and steamed buns, he always has something different to do.

"What's wrong?" Master Hall looked at me: "Isn't this porridge delicious?"

I shook my head: "It doesn't taste good, it has no taste at all."

"This is not tasteless, this is bland." Master Hall bit into a piece of vegetable and chewed it carefully: "This is the only way to maintain health and longevity. Young people like you usually like to eat big fish and meat. It’s salty and greasy, which will put a strain on the body.”

"What you always teach is" I looked like a student being taught.

Master Hall laughed, said nothing more, and continued to chew slowly.

I followed his example and started eating by counting the grains of rice.

This meal took me more than twenty meals. Master Hall picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He dismissed the waiter. When he and I were the only two people left in the room, he said: "Tell me, why did you come to me this time?"

"What can I do?" I hesitantly said, "I miss you, old man~"

"Smooth-tongued" Master Hall chuckled and said: "I knew you were dishonest from the beginning. Now I see that you are even less honest than when we first met. I am just a bad old man. What is there for you to think about? Don't beat around the bush for me, tell me, what's going on?"

When I saw Master Hall asking this question, I couldn't continue the greetings, so I had to make my intentions clear this time.

Master Hall heard this and nodded: "You said you wanted to temporarily freeze the guild's name to make it look like the guild has been wiped out, right?"

I nodded: "Look, this"

"No problem." He patted his chest, which was not broad, and said, "This little thing is easy, but I don't understand, why are you doing this?"

I looked around, then suddenly leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Master, do you want to keep this room a secret?"

Master Hall was silent for a while after hearing this, and shook his head: "It's hard to say. Although this is my office, I can't guarantee that every waiter will be completely loyal to me."

"Then let's go to a more confidential place to talk," I said.

He nodded: "Okay."

After that, he took me and left in a hurry.

After leaving the gate of the adventurer base, Master Hall took me all the way forward.

I asked: "Where are we going?"

Master Hall said: "Go to my house. There is a basement in my house. I am the only one with the key there. It is definitely confidential enough."

"Oh, let's go to your house." I responded and looked around, but as I walked, I became a little confused again: "Master, isn't your house in the aristocratic area?"

"Well, it's in the aristocratic area," Master Hall continued: "However, there is also a house that belongs to me in the civilian area. I purchased it privately with my own money, specifically for gatherings with friends."

"With Master Dewey?" I asked.

"And Master Dewey," Master Hall affirmed.

The house Master Hall bought in a civilian area is unremarkable in terms of appearance and location.

I opened the door and walked in. The room was simply furnished and spotless.

Master Hall said: "There is nothing decent in this house. Does it feel a little too simple?"

I shook my head repeatedly: "It's okay, but it's really clean. It's spotless enough!"

"Yes, when I have nothing to do, I will come here to clean up when I have some free time. I regard it as a little entertainment after work."

As he spoke, Master Hall took me around a corner, lifted up a floor, and suddenly, an iron door was revealed.

He took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it a few times. Hearing a click, the lock opened.

Under Master Hall's instructions, I grabbed the handrail and pulled up the iron door.

The iron door, which I originally thought weighed over a hundred kilograms, was opened effortlessly by me. This surprised me: "How can it be so light?"

"Of course. Do you think I would use all steel to cast a door that I can't even pull up?" Master Hall smiled: "This is just a wooden door wrapped in a mithril shell."

"Mithril?" I exclaimed, "That thing is a precious material. It is used to make the shell of the door. Isn't it a bit too luxurious? Moreover, the shell of this door looks more like a layer of rust. Ironwork with traces of traces.”

"Hmph, you don't understand this, young man," Master Hall explained: "This is a layer of fake paint that I put on it, just to give others a strong illusion."

After hearing this, I was puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Well, why are you working so hard to create this feeling?"

Master Hall smiled mysteriously: "Hey hey hey, don't say it, don't say it."

After entering the basement, indicating that it was absolutely safe, I explained the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

Master Hall pinched the beard on his chin and said, "Well, the second young master you are talking about is Carter Scott, the second son of the current city lord, right?"

"Well, that's him."

"I have some impression of this Carter Scott. I have heard rumors about him from my subordinates. He is a very gloomy young man with a bad temper. This kind of young man generally has strong ambitions. And you are extremely conceited. You were right to temporarily freeze the guild name."

"What I'm more worried about now is whether he will be blinded by his huge ambition, which will eventually lead to the entire Airui City falling into a predicament of continuous war."

Master Hall thought for a while: "As for Carter Scott alone, there is no need to worry at all. He does not have that ability yet. At least, the goblins and dwarves living in Airui City will not obey his orders. But if, as you said before, all forces gather together, it will indeed form a more troublesome force."

"So, the top priority is to find ways to disintegrate other branches of forces. Only in this way can the final losses be reduced."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Master Hall nodded and said, "After the disintegration, how can you ensure that no new violent forces will breed?"

"There is no guarantee," I shook my head. "As long as ambition and desire persist, coups will still happen. The only difference is the frequency and number of times they occur."
