The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

Tonight in Tanhausen, my boudoir stretches quietly.

As usual, Charles, who was doing static stretching after exercise, was reviewing the knowledge about the underground maze that Elizabeth had just said to him in his mind.

Just now when Charles was practicing swords with Altria, Elizabeth was eating fruit while sharing knowledge about the underground labyrinth with Charles. At the same time, she used the peel as a hidden weapon to hit him from time to time. The name is to exercise Charles' ability to deal with emergencies.

At noon today, when Altria went to pick oranges, he wiped out several orange trees in the depths of the forest, so everyone can get a few oranges as snacks tonight.

This kind of orange is not small, and the flesh is sweet and rich in juice, which can be used to make potions for treating coughs. But its skin is a bit thick and has a certain degree of toughness. This caused a piece of peel the size of a fingernail to be thrown by Elizabeth and hit Charles on his body, making him feel very painful.

Altria also cooperated with Elizabeth, facing the offensive of long sword and Peel, which caused Charles to be in a mess for a while.

The most troublesome thing for Charles is what Elizabeth said about the underground maze. Charles, who was very curious about this, had to devote his energy to listen carefully.

The underground fan Palace Lord on the world can be divided into two types: natural mazes and artificial mazes.

Naturally formed underground mazes are divided into mazes formed by natural caves and mazes excavated by animals.

Due to various reasons, massive amounts of magic power often gather in a certain area on this land. If this place is underground, then magic power will condense to form magic crystals under the accumulation of many years.

Among the many devil beasts, there are many devil beasts that are sensitive to these magic powers. Many devil beasts will find underground magic crystals by digging holes with their sensitivity to magic power.

The most terrifying kind of devil beast is called Voldemortos. They are huge and can grow to more than two meters in diameter. Sometimes there are even super individuals up to five meters in diameter. The body length is often more than ten times the diameter.

This kind of devil beast, which is also a kind of lesser dragon, is simply a combination of shield machine + earthworm + ship maggot. They live underground and rely on the magic power emitted to the magic crystal to guide the direction.

When they discover where there is a magic crystal, they will slowly but firmly dig into the past with their mouths gnawing on dirt or stones, and eventually eat the magic crystal. They rely on eating magic crystals and swallowing organic matter into their stomachs along the way to maintain and maintain water.

At the same time, the epidermis of their bodies will secrete a kind of mucus like boat maggots. After this mucus penetrates into the soil, it will condense the soil into a hard shell like iron. This is what they avoid Nibbled back to the previous means of gnawing places.

Their super digestive system can absorb all the useful ingredients in the eaten soil and rocks, whether it is water or organic matter.

In the place where they drilled, what was left was fine excrement.

After years and months, due to external seepage and other reasons, the excrement in the passage left by these Voldysaurus is like the underground pipes that often appear in the city. That would be washed away by the water flow to the lowest point and silt up, making huge and complicated underground passages appear underground.

After a longer period of time, other burrowing animals will dig these underground passages, and gradually more and more creatures will enter them through various channels.

First of all, some fungus plants settled in the dark and moisturizing tunnel.

In this world, some fungi can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, and some fungi emit light.

When all kinds of fungi and oxygen are increased, some plant-eating and omnivorous animals will feed on the fungus here, and then spread the fungus in the channel.

Next, some carnivorous devil beasts will also come here, and then form a unique biosphere in this place similar to an isolated island.

Because of the strong magic power here, the animals and fungi that have lived here for a long time will have some mutations, and at the same time, the reproductive ability will increase and the individual ability will become stronger.

When humans come here, they will capture the devil beast here to get the magic core. If you have good luck, you can still find a new magic crystal.

Because the fungus is here as the bottom of the oxygen provider and the biosphere, adventurers who enter the maze will not collect and deliberately destroy the fungus such as mushrooms in the maze, unless they are about to starve to death. Eat some only when you're finished.

The maze in the south of Tanhausen belongs to this category.

The artificial maze is generally composed of abandoned magic crystal mines and other mine tunnels and deliberately constructed underground buildings.

When humans dig mine tunnels, they will deliberately plant fungi that can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen to maintain the oxygen concentration in the mine tunnel.

When humans leave after these mine tunnels are abolished, devil beasts will gradually occupy this place.

A long, long time ago, when the war between humans and the demon race was in a see-saw period, Human Kingdom built many large Underground City cities to avoid the demon race. Since these Underground City cities need magic power as energy source, the places where they are located are places rich in magic power.

At that time, things have remained the same, but people have changed, and these abandoned Underground City have also become a paradise of devil beasts.

Finally, Elizabeth concluded: "In fact, the underground labyrinth is a devil beast breeding ground deliberately left by humans."

"Because of the strong magic power here, the devil lives here. The quality of the beast's magic core is higher."

At that time, Charles was taken aback when he heard this conclusion, and then Altria took a top of the head with the sword.

Fortunately, he did not cleverly propose methods such as smoking and irrigation to eliminate Evil God believers, otherwise the gangsters have been hiding in the pig farm, and then he proposed a torch from the pig farm. The gangster and the pig were burned together. If you really want to do this, it's strange that people from all walks of life in Tanhausen, who depended on the maze economy for food, didn't kill him.

Just after Charles finished a day of exercise, he went to the living room of the suite to drink something before going to bed.

He didn't expect Elizabeth and Altria were sitting at the table together, looking at a stack of parchment.

Charles walked over. As soon as he wanted to speak, Elizabeth stuffed a parchment over.

"Do you recognize this pattern?" Elizabeth asked, "It was sent by Mifflin just now. It is a symbol of Evil God believers. Is there any record of this symbol in your library? ?"

Altria continued: "Although this logo has a little demon race style before, I am sure I have never seen it before."

Charles looked at the parchment Putting on the symbol of the giant dragon's upper body skeleton silhouette as the main body, in retrospect, he was sure that this symbol was a bit like the Jurassic Park logo he had never seen in his two lifetimes. And this kind of animal silhouette-based logo is not uncommon in this world. Many noble family crests are the silhouettes of representative animals.

Finally, he shook the head silently.

Then he asked Elizabeth: "What is the purpose of these Evil God followers?"

"They are probably planning something summon." Elizabeth replied.

"Summon in the underground maze, I'm afraid what summon comes out is not a huge object." Charles asked, "Otherwise summon comes out but can't get out of the maze, then there is fun."

Elizabeth said: "This is the content of the first chapter of Summoning Technique, but you don't have the innate talent of summoner, so I will only introduce this part to you in the future, so that you can understand it."

“It’s not just a huge size that is threatening.” Altria said, “Sometimes small individuals are more threatening because of their concealment.”

Charles thought for a moment. , Asked: "Will they want to summon the hero from the foreign world?"

Elizabeth shook the head with a smile, "Impossible, they impossible breakthrough world barriers. They are at most summon this world Existence in other dimensional spaces inside."

Now Charles is relieved, as long as the people with the protagonist's aura are turned out by Summon as enemies, then there is nothing to worry about.
