After a brief conversation with the boss Kalman Fleming, under the strange gaze of Frank, who was too guilty and couldn't help but find something to do, and bought a breakfast to eat himself, Morgan walked out calmly without any psychological burden. Kalman's store.

Although it is impossible for Boss Fleming to give away all his secrets because of this level of knowledge, for Morgan, this chat was relatively pleasant, and he had achieved his goal by establishing a certain degree of mutual trust. .

Coupled with the fact that Boss Fleming promised to go to Robbie's shop at noon to present the cargo ship that he knew about, he couldn't be more satisfied.

After confirmation, Mogan can be sure:

"Pandora's Market cannot be said to be a clear water, nor should it be called a quagmire."

Its rise and existence have completely activated this marginal territory in the southwest of the Cole Kingdom.

Even though it is located in a remote place and the books written about it are ancient classics that few people except scholars have read a hundred years ago, the sea of ​​​​miraculous flowers has still become a beautiful land sung by bards.

The merchants coming and going brought wealth and capital, which needed protection, and they also had strong combat power, thus growing the ports and towns here.

The increasingly prosperous reality prevents the pirates who once ravaged this place and were good at fraud and robbery from invading, and the villagers can also use their talents.

Even if the local mages association is indeed mostly third-rate mages who regard magic as a hobby in their middle age or even in their later years, they can come forward with courage when needed, without any idea of ​​what level of mages they will face. concept.

Under such protection, they have not encountered a decent crisis in twenty or thirty years, so they have never been invincible.

This is a kind of ridiculous, yet hard to blame fearlessness.

Because there really is no real danger.

Not just Pandora's Market, but even the entire Cole Kingdom enjoys the same principle.

As early as Mo Gan came to the Iverson Continent, that is, from the time he was born and reached the age where he could travel normally, he had already sensed the unusualness of this world when he first came into contact with it.

For this reason, even if his understanding of sociological theory in his previous life was limited to college elective courses, Mogan even seriously constructed a social theory - a simple social theory that he developed from scratch for the entire country and the entire continent. .

Balance theory.

The many grotesque races in the Cole Kingdom, except for a small number of ethnic groups that have almost no normal sense, or the elves that have been brutally exterminated, currently maintain a state of closeness and alienation with the most widespread human race.

Although small-scale frictions will never end due to inherent inter-ethnic bad blood, the overall ethnic group is always in a peaceful and safe state.

To achieve this effect, it has gone through hundreds of years of precipitation, constant running-in and contact. To a large extent, this result depends on the prosperous state reached by the Cole Kingdom and the balance between the two major countries of the Iverson Continent.

Everything begins with balance, and original balance leads to deeper balance.

Because of this, at least in the Kingdom of Cole, which Mogan can see with his own eyes, the consequences of conflict are no longer a concern. Everything will eventually be like the water in a thermos cup. No matter how violent the shock caused by a combination of circumstances, Eventually it will all fall into silence.

The water cup lid that preserves moisture is the benefit brought by the magic possessed by the continent's highest combat power.

Mo Gan, who had nothing to do, even wrote down these contents one by one on a piece of paper at home that no one would read but himself.

After hearing Lucifer mention the so-called "Holy Covenant" before, he became more certain of the accuracy of the theory.

However, that is already his dark history.

Ever since the brain of a young half-dragon was full of enthusiasm, Mogan summarized the conclusions into a paper and submitted it to the leader of the kingdom in a secret identity. However, he was exposed by an unknown informant. He was ready to fight with that time. I drew a clear line myself.

After receiving a few implicit reminders through letters, Mogan was completely convinced that he would be incompatible with such transgressive claims in the future.

Hiding one's aura and guarding against magical power were also habits that were formed at that time. Mogan still feels resentful and wants to know who was so bored that he took the initiative to expose a son of a knight who was no more than ten years old to the queen who had no magical power at all. .

It's so shameful.

He may not have the potential to be a son of a dragon who "appears to be a child, but is actually wiser than ordinary people."

Because of this, in the past ten years since then, Mogan has devoted himself to learning magic and combat, two areas that he has never been involved in, and firmly established himself as the original mixed-race businessman who was rational, greedy, and at the same time reasonable.

But after all, Mogan’s efforts were not in vain. Although the theory itself was denied by himself out of embarrassment, Mogan still uses the ultimate conclusion that accompanied the theory and was submitted along with the paper, which is the method to solve the problem.

Unlike theoretical knowledge, practice is his area of ​​expertise.

He once named the origin of this method "ripple theory" and also wrote it on the abandoned thesis report.

The purpose of constructing the method is certainly not to break the balance of the Kingdom of Cole, which is good for me and good for everyone. For Mogan, the most useful method is to temporarily break this balance, allowing him to peek into everything below the surface. People’s true motivations.

Like a puddle of stagnant water, when it is still and waveless, it is unknown to the outside world whether there are any items of the same color hidden underneath.

But when it becomes rippled with water, if there is anything hidden in it, it will be exposed under the refraction of light.

Having no interest in politics, Mogan is naturally not a meddlesome person who comes to join the fight. He just wants to make the most of the facts.

Through this method, he can confirm whether there are "uneasy elements" hiding in the balance who are disguising themselves and could affect his plans.

Creating a gold coin disturbing trap in the well of Pandora's Bazaar is also an extension of this theory. Morgan has always been committed to creating just the right amount of chaos that can achieve the purpose of his observation without having too much impact or too much stamina.

Because of this, he will be responsible for unforeseen accidents after his observation.

Because this kind of thing happens quite often.

But Mo Gan didn’t expect that,

When we arrived near Robbie's shop, it was already after Robbie's agreed return time.

Unsurprisingly, although it was just outside Pandora Market, there were several more people at the door.

The glass-like barrier was also opened by Lucifer as agreed after Robbie returned. Now, except for Robbie, who was paying the bill for someone unknown in the store, of course he was hiding in the corner and pretending to be a "safe" in the "security booth" His Majesty the King.

Excluding the situation where Boss Fleming asked for help, Mogan could truly confirm who rescued the two people trapped in the well.

For the parties concerned, this may be just a simple task, but because they are not familiar with the world, it can make them miserable.

This is a very important directional clue.

Morgan walked directly into the store door, glanced at the location of the "safe", and then looked at the thousand kohl shields he had just received in front of the counter.

And sitting behind him, the store manager Robbie, who was still new, confused, and unfamiliar at the time, had a completely different expression than before, and was quite confused.
