Mayfair subconsciously looked at the road behind - behind was the road of trials. But at this time, she could no longer see the thick fog that had hindered them when they came.
She felt that she did not walk very long... In her impression, the time it took to walk the road of trial seemed to be about the same as the normal way up the mountain to enter the temple to worship.
But why?
This is really a trial road... It is the most dangerous place in the village that is forbidden to the villagers except for the forbidden areas outside.
Just when Mayfair was distracted, she felt her arm being suddenly pulled by someone, and then her body moved to the side... It was Luo Qiu.
"Stop talking, someone is coming."
Boss Luo pulled Mayfair aside and hid, then he looked out - behind a stone pillar.
There are many patterns carved on this pillar... more like a totem pole.
Mayfair was startled at this time, and he also poked his head out, and saw two figures not far away. They were walking around the outer wall of the temple, "They are the guards of the temple, especially the one on the left, called
Malik, he is very powerful, he is the captain of the temple guard. Fortunately, he was not discovered by them, otherwise we would be in trouble."
Mayfair patted his chest gently at this time, looking relieved.
"It seems like it's just an ordinary patrol." Boss Luo took a few more glances and smiled and said, "Let's wait until their patrol leaves and then find a way in."
She was getting a little closer... Mayfair was a little nervous for no reason at this time - in my memory, she had never been so close to the vision.
But at this moment, the captain of the temple guard in front pointed to the place where Boss Luo and Mayfair were hiding, and said in a deep voice: "Who is hiding there!"
Mayfair was startled subconsciously and instinctively moved back - but at this moment, Boss Luo suddenly held her shoulders and shook his head to signal.
Mayfair's face was full of surprise, and Boss Luo made a silent gesture, indicating that she should continue reading.
At this moment, the guard member drew his weapon and tentatively walked towards the stone pillar - but he had only taken two steps when the guard captain behind him suddenly launched a sneak attack.
The sharp blade easily pierced the player's body from behind.
"Captain Malik...you??"
The team members failed to struggle much... His mouth even caused the captain of the guard, Malik, to cover his mouth vigorously - in the end, after a few struggles, his body went limp.
Seeing this scene, Mayfair desperately covered his mouth with both hands, fearing that he would make any sound out of fear.
It's just that she was really frightened, and she couldn't help but tremble...but she didn't move at all, and even her breathing stopped forcibly.
Soon, after the team member was killed in a sneak attack, Malik, the captain of the guard, quickly looked around, then directly picked up the body of the team member, and then quickly walked in from the back door of the temple.
…
"He...he, he, Captain Malik...he, he...he..."
She was really frightened and couldn't speak fluently. She grabbed the clothes on Boss Luo's arm tightly, and her pretty face was as white as paper.
"I saw it too." Boss Luo looked at Mayfair at this moment, "Take a deep breath, three times."
Mayfair subconsciously took a deep breath. It didn't take three breaths, but just two, and his mood had stabilized slightly. "Why did Captain Malik kill him?!"
Boss Luo thought for a moment and said, "Why did you want to escape from the tribe?"
Mayfair subconsciously said: "In order not to be a sacrifice, because the current god is fake, it is actually a man-eating monster... Could it be?!"
"Are you still planning to go in?"
"I..." Mayfair's expression changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "I want to go in! If Captain Malik is really doing things for the monster in the temple, I will expose him even more, otherwise the village will
Inside, there will only be more victims... I can't just watch! The evidence, I need to expose their evidence."
"Even the people of the village treat you as a sacrifice?"
Mayfair shook his head and said: "Of course I hate those who insist on choosing me as a sacrifice... But there are other people, and the children in the village, they don't know anything... Do you want me to hate them too?
Are they? Just because they hate some guys, they have to ignore the people they like? I can't do it!"
"But you did want to escape before...and you have been escaping." Boss Luo said calmly: "We found you in the forest, you were on the way to escape, and you were injured."
Mayfair smiled bitterly and said: "I admit my cowardice... But just now, when I saw Captain Malik killing the tribesmen, I actually wanted to save him. But because of fear... I didn't even dare
Move."
She hugged her body tightly, "I clearly saw Captain Malik draw out his weapon... If, if I had made some movement or made some noise just now, which alerted them, maybe Captain Malik would not have succeeded. I was
I told myself this in my heart, but I couldn't do it. It was Captain Malik who did the killing, but since I refused to save him, I was also... an accomplice."
"You have to understand that if you issue a warning, you will also be in danger." Boss Luo said slowly: "You are not an accomplice, you are just protecting yourself. When people encounter danger, they will protect themselves. This is not
There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Mayfair took a deep breath and said: "But it's not something to be proud of... I think I really shouldn't escape anymore. Thank you for sending me here. I can just walk the rest of the way by myself...
…There is no need to involve you and your friends in this danger.”
"In that case, let's go in." After saying that, Boss Luo stood up and extended his hand to Mayfair.
"But you...you..." Mayfair moved his lips and asked softly: "Why do you want to help me?"
"Our current status is that of adventurers." Boss Luo smiled slightly and said: "Since we are adventurers, we naturally have to take risks. Don't look at me like this, I should be quite powerful."
She reached out subconsciously and felt that it was a hand that brought warmth and reassurance.
But the moment Mayfair was about to touch her, she suddenly retracted. Instead, she held her knees and slowly stood up. She took deep breaths again and again. When she knew her emotions were completely stable, she said seriously: "
Okay, let’s go in together.”
Although he was a little surprised, Luo Qiu didn't say anything.
He turned to look at the entrance to the back door of the temple, "Go in directly through the back door, you may be discovered... Are there any other entrances and exits?"
But at this moment, Mayfair suddenly pushed out the palms of her hands. She seemed to be thinking of something... In an instant, a soft green light directly covered Boss Luo's body.
He soon fell directly to the ground.
Mayfair hurriedly stepped forward, supported Luo Qiu, and then gently placed him behind the pillar to lean against, "Thank you... But this is something I have to face myself. I'll wait for you here."
Friends come."
She looked at the sleeping face in front of her and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
However, his fingertips paused. Through a thin layer of air, Mayfair took a slow breath and said softly: "Even if I encounter any danger, it will still be [today] when I wake up... I will forget it."
.”
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up suddenly. With a wave of her hand, the weeds next to her began to grow crazily, covering Boss Luo's body.
After that, Mayfair took out the sword from her waist and reached the door of the back door of the temple in a flash... She gently opened the door and leaned in.
at this time.
Behind the totem poles, the lush weeds were gradually degenerating... to their original state.
Boss Luo, who was sleeping, had already opened his eyes.
…
…
This is a maze, a hundred percent maze...the most common maze in the Dragon Quest game.
The dim passages, the gloomy stone walls and floors, the endless branching roads...and then there are the Mimics.
Dr. Gers looked at a treasure chest that was biting his palm desperately, and looked at Mr. Sneff expressionlessly, "You said, there is no need to fight in the second level, it is just a maze."
Before this, they had encountered several waves of labyrinth monsters - the battle was not very fierce, and the danger level of the monsters was completely within the range they could bear.
It's just that when clearing the Tauren Guard, the energy consumed was so great that fatigue spread even though it was not a fierce battle.
At this time, Mr. Sneff probably felt that he was embarrassed, so he silently pushed away the treasure chest beast biting Dr. Gers' palm, and slashed it with his sword, killing it.
Then, he threw a bottle of recovery potion at Dr. Gers, "Drink it when your life is almost gone. Don't waste it."
"Tsk." Dr. Gers slapped the potion back with disdain, took out a bottle himself, unscrewed it, and drank it... He had a lot of this stuff.
Not only him, but Tina and Sneff actually had some good ones on them - these were all trophies picked up after a certain temporary captain who got lost.
Dr. Gers just felt that Sneff's behavior of borrowing flowers to worship Buddha was too shameless.
But having said that, they had experienced the guards at the first level and now entered the maze at the second level. However, they did not encounter the lost temporary captain along the way.
This really has to be done artificially, and the temporary captain is actually still behind at the moment.
"Could they have gone back and waited for us where they started?" Dr. Gers had to make this conjecture, and it was easily agreed by the other two.
However, the maze in the second level has already gone deep, so it might be unrealistic to just leave like this.
"Doctor, have you found a way to leave this maze?" The maid seemed to have strong confidence in Dr. Gers. She didn't feel worried at all at this time and asked quite relaxedly.
Dr. Gers snorted twice and said calmly: "That's almost it. If you go forward a few more passages, you should be able to completely find the rules of this maze... Speaking of which, although this [Chessboard] world is incredible, but
The level of civilization in this world is not high, so the construction level of this maze is naturally not high."
——Damn it... Why does it seem like this road has been walked before? Why are every road the same length?
"That's good." Tina nodded and said nothing.
"Keep going, Sneff." Dr. Gers thought for a while and suddenly said: "You have nothing to contribute anyway, so just carve a random mark on the wall so that I can find a pattern."
But Mr. Sneff sneered directly at this time.
Tina had no choice but to whisper quietly into Dr. Gers's ear: "Doctor, soon after he came in, he started carving marks on the wall."
"When did this happen? Why didn't I notice it?" Dr. Gers couldn't help but be surprised.
The maid said: "Doctor, you were leading the way, so you didn't notice it... But I paid attention. We never encountered the mark left by Sneff, which proves that we didn't go around in circles. Doctor, you are so awesome!"
"Pediatrics." Dr. Gers shrugged and said, "I stopped playing this kind of maze game before I took my first sip of blood."
——Oh...it turns out that I have never walked this road before, okay, okay.
The passage was very quiet, and the conversation between the two naturally fell into Sneff's ears word for word... He simply shook his head, walked to the corner, and started to carve random marks on the corner with his weapon.
.
But just when he was about to leave after finishing his work, Mr. Sneff's expression suddenly changed slightly... He immediately touched the wall and wiped it vigorously with his palms.
"What are you doing?" Dr. Gers came over in confusion, but saw Sneff scrubbing the wall harder and harder.
Not long after, at the place where Sneff had wiped, there was an old mark on the wall... This was obviously not the one that Mr. Sneff had just painted.
"It should be the marks made by the trialists who entered the maze in the past." The maid thought for a while and said.
"No..." Mr. Sneff looked shocked at this moment, "This is... the mark made by Geralt!"
"What did you say?" Dr. Gers was startled: "The mark made by your follower back then...are you sure?"
"I can't get it wrong!" Mr. Sneff said excitedly at this time: "Only Geralt can use this kind of symbol. He said that this is the ancient text of his nation, which is [Asgard]
The text. This symbol should mean [direction]."
"The ancient texts..." Dr. Gers frowned at this time, "So, the wounds on the back of the bull-headed guard in the first level were also left by your former followers, which means...
