Chapter 310 The answer in the myth

Classic scenes, classic enemies.

Although Ronald is a pure love warrior, he does not have the fighting ability to kill a minotaur in hand-to-hand combat.

But now the other party is asleep?

If I remember correctly, many monsters in Greek mythology were killed by the heroes while they were sleeping.

Could it be that this is the purpose of the trial he is facing now?

No!

Something's wrong!

As soon as this idea came up, Ronald shook his head and rejected it.

The real purpose of the original trial is definitely not this.

If force and assassination were to be tested, then why create such a large Cretan maze and even have people spend several hours trying to find the correct route in the maze.

And if it’s force and assassination…

With Hal and Edwalk's ability to join the [Scroll Research Society] before, they would not both be defeated.

There must be details that he didn't notice.

"..."

Sniffing the smell of blood coming from the tauren, Ronald suppressed his impulse and continued to observe the environment, and then tried to analyze the situation in front of him.

The Minotaur had fallen into sleep and was lying on the edge of the maze wall on the other side.

Not far in front of it, a sharp ax was placed on a severed log stump, completely undefended.

"Isn't this an obvious attempt to seduce people..."

Muttering quietly, Ronald thought about the Greek myths he had read.

In mythology, the last person to kill the Minotaur was the famous King of Athens, Theseus.

This hero can also trace his bloodline back to the Greek gods.

But when it comes to Theseus' most famous achievements, killing the Minotaur in the Labyrinth of Crete must be among them.

As for the specific details…

It was probably after Theseus got two treasures, the thread that could get out of the maze, and the sword that could kill the Minotaur, that he relied on the power of the treasure to kill the Minotaur.

yes.

The sword that could kill the Minotaur.

Thinking of this, Ronald became more certain that the scene in front of him was a trap.

After all, the shape of the sharp ax in front of me doesn't match the shape of the sword at all. If I secretly go over and kill the Minotaur with the ax, the result will be wonderful.

So what to do now?

Go and continue walking around the maze, looking for adventure groups or swords that you don’t know exist.

No, it shouldn't be like this.

The purpose of the trial is not to kill people. There is no reason to impose such strange requirements that consume human energy. If you can successfully find the place where the Minotaur lives, it means that the previous route is correct.

With this mood, Ronald's eyes shifted to that residence.

The biggest suspicious thing now is this house built in the maze.

Looking at the sleeping appearance of the Minotaur, you can tell that this half-man, half-bull monster does not live in this house built by humans.

So could the key to completing the trial be inside?

As Ronald kept looking at the scene in front of him, the sculpture placed at the door gradually attracted his attention.

Most of these sculptures depict the human body, and the movements are greatly expanded, and the eyes are looking into the distance. Regardless of the detailed craftsmanship of the sculptures or the consideration of the overall shape, they are definitely at the level of masterpieces.

"sculpture……"

Following this train of thought, Ronald thought of something.

If Theseus beheading the Minotaur is a famous myth and legend, then there is a story about the Minotaur that goes back further and fits this scene very well.

When his wife gave birth to the monster Minotaur, the king of Crete ordered Daedalus to build a labyrinth and trap the half-man, half-bull monster in it.

In order to prevent anyone from knowing the origin of the Minotaur and how to enter the labyrinth, the king of Crete locked Daedalus, the builder of the labyrinth, and his son Icarus in the labyrinth.

If you connect this story, the origin of this house will be more interesting.

According to mythological records.

Daedalus was the most famous artist, architect and sculptor in Greece.

The lifelike sculpture at the door is not his handiwork.

Thinking of this, Ronald became energetic.

So he bent down slightly, and while looking at the sleeping Minotaur, he lowered his footsteps and moved towards the house.

He now understood the true purpose of the trial.

——Escape from the Cretan Labyrinth.

But it's different from killing the minotaur, the Minotaur.

The real way to escape should be in the house built by Daedalus.

According to the myth.

Daedalus and his son, who were trapped in the labyrinth of Crete, did not want to spend the rest of their lives with the monster Minotaur, so they collected feathers from flying birds in the air. Daedalus and Icarus made a flying device that allowed people to fly.

wings, and then left this place directly.

This amazing invention later became known as the Wings of Icarus.

Then the result is very simple.

This house deep in the labyrinth is where the father and son duo designed and built it, and it is likely that they also had the process of making the Wings of Icarus.

Find it and make it.

This is the real purpose of this original trial!

"..."

Making as little noise as possible, Ronald approached the residence.

He was now extremely certain that the Minotaur was not the purpose of the trial.

Ordinary people who have lost their magic ability will undoubtedly be like a meat bun and beat a dog when faced with this kind of monster.

Successfully entering this Daedalus mansion is the correct way for Ronald to pass the trial!

A frightening scene emerged.

Although the area hidden in the maze is quite large, to reach the entrance of the house, Ronald will inevitably have to get close to the location of the Minotaur.

when the distance between them is the shortest.

Ronald could even clearly see the thick dirt on the Minotaur's body, as well as the cracks left when it moved.

This half-man, half-bull monster lives in this maze completely following its wild nature.

A complete monster!

Almost holding his breath completely, Ronald walked gently on tiptoes.

He didn't ask for speed, he just hoped that the monster in front of him wouldn't wake up at this moment.

"Hmph——"

"..."

However, just after Ronald took a few steps, the scene he least wanted to see appeared.

The Minotaur, who was lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly sneezed.

Then he opened his eyes, and the half-man, half-bull monster reached out and wiped his nose.

At the same time, he naturally saw Ronald who was tiptoeing towards the house.

A monster with a strong body and a human with a thin constitution.

More than ten meters apart, their eyes met.

"..."

"Roar--"

The next second.

In the astonishing roar of the Minotaur.

Without saying a word, Ronald turned around and ran away with all his strength.

The purpose was nothing else, naturally only the Daedalus Mansion, which was still a few meters away in front of us!
