The meeting didn't reach any binding agreements, it simply established that the rulers of each level would not infringe on each other's territories, as well as continue to fulfill the duty of being part of the labyrinth—preventing adventurers from exploring deeper levels.
The Land of Nightmare sort of abided by the first rule, after all, the Little Demons didn't have much of a need for territory, and the environments on the other floors weren't comfortable for them either.
As for the second agreement, it was not taken seriously, not just by Qianqian, but most of the level rulers were insincere in their compliance.
After all, since the warlords in the deeper levels of the labyrinth had cut off supplies to the upper levels, there was really no reason for them to risk being killed by adventurers to protect the interests of those misers.
On the contrary, they actually hoped that the surface adventurers would invade deep into the labyrinth.
That was the real land of dreams, brimming with treasures!
In comparison, the first five levels were just where the poor of the labyrinth dwelt.
It's worth mentioning that Luo Yan learned from Mi Xi that the ruler of the third level was not the Mole People, but a clay golem suspected of having silver-level strength who attended the meeting.
This guy was handcrafted by Reggie Dragon, the Demon King, but for some reason didn't join him on his campaign, and instead existed as the labyrinth's third-level BOSS.
It was the first time Luo Yan had heard about a clay golem gaining self-awareness.
But before encountering those golems, he planned to first check out the fourth level to understand the background of the Dark Night Elves there.
If he could manage a good relationship with those dark-skinned, pointy-eared elves, he could use them to call another meeting, and "capture all at once" the lords of the first 5 levels of the labyrinth.
This was far more efficient than taking them down one level at a time.
"...Lord Demon King, what potion is this?" Youyou asked curiously, looking at the Demon King shaking a dark green flask.
"This is a disguise potion, for changing appearances." Waiting for the impurities in the flask to settle at the bottom, Luo Yan skillfully took the clear liquid from the top and sealed it into a test tube the thickness of his index finger.
This potion was banned in Demon City, but there were no restrictions on it outside the city.
By taking the disguise potion, except for not being able to change height or race, one could temporarily alter their face to any desired appearance... even elongate one's ears to impersonate an Elf.
Of course, he didn't intend to become an Elf, but rather to make minor adjustments to his appearance when necessary to appear a little more low-key.
This would both facilitate blending in with the adventurer groups and avoid being recognized.
It was said that the fourth level of the labyrinth had a higher number of adventurers, and there was even an outpost established by the adventurer guild that functioned like a safe zone.
When going to the fourth level, Luo Yan planned to disguise himself as an adventurer to look around there.
For this, he had specially entrusted the Silver Pine Town adventurer guild to make one black iron-level identification badge for both him and Sarah, just in case.
By the way, his adventurer's name was Luoluo, registered as a human. Sarah kept her name but was registered not as a Demon but as a beast-race.
However, although this was Luo Yan's plan, Youyou was unaware and instead asked in surprise.
"Change appearances? Lord Demon King, aren't you handsome enough?"
On hearing this, Luo Yan laughed and replied.
"It's precisely because I'm too handsome, so I'm worried about being recognized by those who shouldn't remember me at a glance."
Youyou couldn't help but be surprised.
It wondered if it was its imagination, but it felt like the Lord Demon King was more shameless than usual.
Besides the disguise potion, Luo Yan was also prepared with other potions that might be needed during the adventure, such as healing potions, mana potions, and antidotes, packed into two backpacks.
That included the currency of the human world and some dry food.
Especially the former, which might be needed at the adventurer guild's outpost.
Looking at Sarah waiting at the door, he handed over one of the backpacks to her.
"Let's go, we're heading to the fourth level today."
Sarah, taking the backpack, nodded seriously and asked considerately.
"Do you need me to call the others?"
It was usual for her to notify Octo or Alakdo about meeting up at the Blood Palace on the first level of the labyrinth.
But this time, the Lord Demon King's answer was unexpected.
"No need."
"It's just the two of us this time."
