Tauren Lord

"Have you all heard? Just yesterday afternoon, the deputy head of the Steel Fist mercenary group, Gracie the Beheader, entered the Eternal Night Labyrinth."

"Hehe, there is another one to die."

"Gracie? He is a famous warrior in the Kingdom of Brensa, with the blood of the Barbarian Race, and once killed the giant snake in the Misty Swamp."

"What about killing a giant snake? Among the previous challengers, there were people who even killed extraordinary creatures, but they died inside." The noisy voice echoed in the hotel, Many strong mercenaries chatted while drinking.

Maze Challenger... a good topic of course.

In particular, the challenger this time is a famous warrior, the former king of the arena, the beheader - Gracie!

Baer's arrival did not attract other people's attention. Because of its proximity to the Eternal Night Labyrinth, there are often strangers in Rosen Town, and everyone has long been used to it. Walking into the hotel, Baer glanced over and quickly came to the counter.

"This guest, welcome to the Evernight Hotel. Do you want to stay, or do you need drinks and food? Our golden ale is very famous here." Opposite the counter is a potbellied brown Sent middle age person, at this time he looked at Baer's thin clothes and the long sword on his shoulders, and his eyes moved.

The people who travel to and from the Evernight Hotel are almost all mercenaries and outlaws.

When he saw Baer's outfit, he knew that the boy in front of him was not simple. The temperature in the snowy ice fields is extremely low, and if an ordinary person goes out wearing only a single shirt, he will freeze to death in a short time.

"First a roast and bread, then prepare me a room." Baer said with a smile.

"Okay, guest, please wait." The middle age person smiled.

Baer turned his head to look, just after noon, there were not many guests in the hotel. Soon he sat down at an empty table in the north corner, clacked, and put the phantom sword on the table.

Eternal Night Ice Lake is, after all, the territory of the Dragon Shield Kingdom.

Although the Dragon Shield Kingdom has long-established regulations, it does not restrict people from other countries from coming to challenge, but before the challenge, you must first register at the labyrinth management office in Rosen Town. Of course, with his strength, he can force his way in, but he is alone now and doesn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

While he was waiting.

da da da.

Suddenly a long-haired beauty in leather armor, a fur coat, and a charming face sat down opposite him, glanced at the phantom sword on the table intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "This Young Master, your sword is very beautiful, can you lend me a look?"

"First, I'm not a Young Master."

"Second, If you still want your right hand, you better not touch my sword." Baer coldly said.

His perception ability is extremely powerful, and he has long discovered that the fingertips of the right hand of this long-haired beauty are stained with some transparent powder, which is an alchemy item for tracking. Coupled with the expression just now, it must be the idea of ​​​​playing the phantom sword.

In the phantom continent, enchanted weapons are very rare and extremely valuable.

"Well, did he find out?"

The long-haired woman was stunned for a moment, then her face returned to normal, and even said with a smile, "I am the ice rose mercenary group. Chang-Illya, I will always be here when I am free, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me." After saying that, he got up and left with a smile.

"Illya." Baer looked up, and Illya quickly stopped at the long table by the opposite wall, talking and laughing with seven or eight female mercenaries around, looking towards him from time to time. side. Looking at the emblems on these people, they should all be members of the Ice Rose mercenary group.

"It's rare to see a mercenary group composed of women."

Soon a waiter brought barbecued meat and bread. After Baer finished paying for it, he left the Evernight Hotel and went to the hotel. Go north of town. After a while, I came to the door of a somewhat dilapidated stone house.

Hanging on the sign on one side, there are several large characters written on the labyrinth management office crookedly.

"It should be here."

Open the door and walk in.

The layout inside is very simple. Directly opposite is a fireplace. Beside the long table on the north side, a black and thin old man is lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

peng~ peng~ peng~ .

Baer walked over, patted the table hard, loudly said: "Hey, get up quickly."

"Who, who?" , looked at Baer in front of him, and said impatiently, "Where is the little fellow, didn't you see me sleeping? Also, is this place where you can break in at will?"

"Isn't this the Labyrinth Management Office?" Baer asked.

"Of course, now that you know, how dare you break in?" the black and thin old man continued, "go go go, hurry out."

"I want to challenge Yongye. Labyrinth." Baer said directly.

"What, challenge the maze, it's just you?" The black and thin old man looked at Baer before saying, "Do you know how many people died in the eternal night maze in the past four hundred years? Youngster, I advise you to get rid of this idea."

"I'm afraid I can't do this." Baer said with a smile.

"Well, since you want to go in and die, I won't stop you." The black and thin old man yawned, reached out and took a long sheepskin scroll from the side, opened it, and picked up a quill pen , asked blankly, "Name?"

"Bill Lester."

"Age? Also, from which country? Is it a noble?"

"Age? p>

"Eighteen years old, commoner, Green Deer Kingdom."

"Have you ever had a title?" The black and thin old man lifts the head.

"Title?" Baer wondered.

"It's the title that others gave you, such as Beheader, Blood Axe, etc." said the black and thin old man.

“Not that one,” says Baer, ​​who had been a nerd until he came to this world and rarely left home. He was even fainted by a common wild boar, where did he get his name from?

"Then have you done anything influential, or killed some powerful monsters?" The black and thin old man shook his head as he spoke, a youngster who didn't even have a name would dare Challenge the Eternal Night Labyrinth?

"Oh, I beat a mighty boar along the way," Baer continued.

"Wild boar? Hmm... Then the wild boar warrior is good." The black and thin old man pondered for a moment, muttered, and quickly wrote the wild boar warrior - Bill on the parchment scroll. .

"Wild, wild boar warrior?" Baer's face darkened.

"What, don't you like it?"

The black and thin old man looked at Baer and said, "Would you like to change another one, what do you think of the pig warrior?"

"Forget it, just the boar warrior." Baer continued, fuck the pig warrior!

"Okay, the registration is complete, this is your labyrinth pass token." The black-handed old man opened the lower drawer, took out a dark, egg-sized rusty iron plate and handed it to Baer.

"Thanks." Baer took the iron card and turned away.

"Hey, there's another one to die." The black and thin old man looked at Baer's back and couldn't help sighing. Since he was a teenager, he has worked in the maze management office, and in several decades, he has never seen anyone come back alive.

......

second day early in the morning.

It was just dawn, and the Yongye Hotel was already noisy.

"Have you heard, there is a guy named Bill who is going to challenge the maze."

"Who is Bill, I haven't heard of it."

"I heard that it is a youngster, and the title is wild boar warrior. It sounds like he may have killed a terrifying and powerful wild boar, hahaha..." There was a sound of laughter in the hotel.

"Bill, could it be the boy from yesterday?" Illya drank a few sips of ale, and Baer's silhouette appeared in her mind again, "And that enchanted long sword, what a pity. ”

.......

The temperature of the snowy ice field is extremely low, and the temperature is below minus 20 degrees all year round. Therefore, almost all the rivers and lakes in the territory are covered by a thick layer of ice, as is the Yongye Ice Lake.

The center of the lake is an island with a large area.

The Labyrinth of Eternal Night is on the island.

The pyramid-shaped labyrinth is 1,000 meters high, and the whole body is blue, as if made of hard ice, shining in the sun. At the entrance of the labyrinth, tall walls and forts were built, and soldiers from the Dragon Shield Kingdom were stationed here.

Wall entrance.

A tall soldier in armor took a few steps forward, looked at the black-haired boy with a long sword on his shoulder, and said sharply. "Stop, who you are?"

"Bill, I'm going to challenge the Eternal Night Labyrinth." Baer walked over to the guard and took out the iron card.

"Challenging the maze?" The guard looked at Baer, ​​loudly said, "Since you want to challenge the maze, according to the regulations, you must hand over all your belongings except weapons and armor."

"Challenge the maze?">

“Hand over your belongings?” Baer frowned.

"If you fail the challenge, it's useless to ask for more property. If you succeed, do you still care about this little thing?" I can't let you in."

"Here." Baer laughed, taking the purse from his waist and throwing it to the guard.

"Okay, let's go in."

The guard took the purse and weighed it, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"It's really the same everywhere." Baer looked at the guard's expression, looked the head, and stepped forward. Quickly pass through the wall and come to the entrance of the Eternal Night Labyrinth. There is a tall passage in front of you, looking inside, there is a black hole, and you can't see the end.

"The Labyrinth of Eternal Night."

Baer stepped into it with a calm face, and then the silhouette was engulfed by darkness.
