Lesson Four: A New Hierarchy

Eat the sandwich Sylvia made for me for lunch as I sit back in a flower bed in the heart of an abandoned city.

In the morning, all I said was to add a hierarchy, so I didn't know under what circumstances I was going to have lunch, so he made it with an easy-to-eat sandwich.

I can only really thank Sylvia for her concern.

"So, what was the new basement 82nd floor like?

Ask Sylvia, who was sipping tea and observing the whole thing neatly.

"Right...... it's easy to explore because there are few traps yet. But then they'll be the first to target this place, which is the goal."

I know the goal, so I'm making the offense less difficult.

"Then I'm already thinking of measures."

Turn around and touch the metastatic magic formation at the center of the flowerbed to lift the leopard.

"Huh...?

I'm surprised Sylvia feels like "I can't believe I could do that" or something.

Never before have we made our own exits just by moving directly through the hierarchy. I didn't actually feel the need.

"Were you able to move it?

"It's just me and Iris because we need to be able to operate the labyrinth."

More importantly, just specify a goal and the Transition Magic Team can move it around.

I lifted it to make it clear to Sylvia and the others.

"So, where do you move it?

"I've already decided where."

Laughing and answering Ira's question starts the move.

The destination is - in a large building that had a legend dragon on the 81st basement floor.

"Wow."

I know where to install it. My voice leaks from Ira.

"Isn't it a little terrible?

"Right."

If an adventurer who jumped into the Transition Magic Formation after activating a trap to wake the Legendary Dragon on the 81st floor underground challenged the 82nd floor underground, it wouldn't be anywhere near where the Legendary Dragon appeared.

So far the structure of the 82nd basement floor is the same as that of the 81st floor.

If the starting point is also straight from the south of the abandoned city to the center, it should go to the center of the abandoned city, which seems to be the goal to go the shortest distance.

"I see. This makes sense to set up traps besides boulevards."

"What do you mean?

"Did Ira not notice? Many of the traps were centered around the main street, but other than that, there were traps set up in places like alleys."

"But if you're just going to the center, you can just go down the boulevard..."

"I guess that's a little psychological"

The first adventurer to visit Abandoned City Field doesn't think the goal is at the heart of an abandoned city.

Even if we go for the center, let's just go for the center, somehow.

Nothing stands out in the heart of an abandoned city just because it has a flower bed.

But everywhere in the abandoned city there are large buildings like the one where the Legendary Dragon lurked - several prominent places to see.

If you're an adventurer accustomed to exploring, explore from such places.

"Besides, alley traps are less numerous and less challenging. But it's a terrible place to set a deadly trap at the end. If you fit in, you'll die easily."

They have some A-rank magic tools installed for this purpose.

He also plants bait to lure intruders.

Yes, in any case...

"Now what?

When you come back to the center of an abandoned city, dirt magic creates a large tablet where there was a transfer magic formation.

Draw letters there by magic.

- This is not a goal. Good luck finding it.

"This is terrible!

Ira laughed with her tummy in her arms when she saw a sign peeking at the challenger I had created.

Is that how you laugh?

The intruder who reached the center of the abandoned city scratching the trap is outrageous if the message is left on the tablet where he thought it was a goal.

But the exit leading to the lower level is bound to be somewhere in the labyrinth.

The intruder receiving the message will be conducting an exploration of the 82nd basement floor.

Waiting there is a real exit and a bunch of deadly traps.

Because of this, let's ask them to explore and then absorb the magic.

"This is a little..."

"The intruder is pathetic"

On the contrary, Sylvia and Melissa were pulling their cheeks into my line of work.

"What do you think?

"I've been thinking about repelling intruders for a while, but I don't need to set up a metamagic team."

Without an exit in the first place, we wouldn't be reached to the bottom.

It seems true at first glance, but it violates the rules of labyrinth making.

"When you build a labyrinth, it doesn't work unless all the hierarchies are connected by stairs or metamagic formations."

So we must also set up a transfer magic formation that leads to the lowest level.

"This is the nucleus of the labyrinth, and I can't even beat it."

"If you have proper rules, I'll be fine"

The entrance and exit are absolutely necessary.

That's why we need to repel them on the road.

"Do you need a trap in the first place?

When asked by Ilis, he was cast into further doubt.

"Not now."

"I've been working on traps for half a day now, and I know it's not something I can say, but I don't think we need to set up these inhumane traps if anybody's ever been here."

"Well, as you say, no one will ever set foot on it."

"Then...!

"But maybe someone will reach it. When that happens, we need a trap to get the intruder back to protect the labyrinth nucleus at the bottom."

Yes, this is necessary to protect the labyrinth nucleus resting on the lowest level, just below.

Only someone other than his family touches the labyrinth nucleus and the authority of the labyrinth lord is transferred to the opponent.

I'm no longer a labyrinth lord. My status really makes me poor. Instead of beating the new Labyrinth Lord in the back of the Labyrinth, it's impossible to even get to the Labyrinth Lord.

But they're all pre-built.

"But the truth is, it's just fun to set traps."

"Huh...?

"Weren't you having fun?

"No......"

It can't be fun.

It's not about creating a trap in itself, it's fun for me to be with my people and make something new.

"I also enjoyed being with Ira and setting up the trap with all the headaches"

"Right."

Defeating intruders is the intended slaughter trap, but it doesn't have to be slaughtered until it's time to install it.

We all want to make up our minds while we talk Wye.

"Even traps don't really have to think about repelling intruders all the time. It's going to be funny if we put it in a trap like this, so we just have to move on."

"Well, it's more fun to feel funny about everything."

Iris was also convinced by Ira's push.

"And there's time for that. Let's cage a little in the labyrinth and finish the 82nd basement."

"Then why don't you build a hot spring or a bath? It's just so dusty."

"Rejected"

Rejected as a matter of course.

Abandoned city fields have a lot of dust blown up in the wind, and it's a very precipitated place, so I can't help but get dirty soon, but if we're going to have a bath in such a place, we need to use labyrinth manipulation to consume magic and build it.

I can afford it thanks to the fruit of the Divine Tree, but I don't want to waste it.

I don't mind giving you enough permission to go home and take a bath if you want to waste that.

"Well, we're due this afternoon, so let's do something other than set up a trap."
