Goddess Wanhua Mirror

In addition, the first batch of intruders also discovered that the space of the first floor is larger than the first floor of the maze from top to bottom, and the space of the third floor is at least five times larger than that of the first floor.The larger space makes the third floor have more areas, and the space area of ​​each area is also larger, which can hold more powerful "fun things".

Some adventurers were horrified to find that Gou Ge, who was the owner of the floor on the first floor, actually had the same type of golem here, and it was just a small boss standing guard in some areas.

The overall difficulty level of the third floor can be seen from this!

The significant increase in difficulty has also caused many adventurers who followed suit to pay a very painful price for this. Those who were tossed were embarrassed, and many lost their lives.

However, fear has not been able to overwhelm the greed in human nature. Even though they know that the maze is full of dangers, many people can't get out after entering the maze. There will still be a large number of adventurers eager for wealth, rushing in one after another to hunt for treasure.

The group hadn't gone far, and Lu De suddenly heard a very noisy sound not far ahead, so he rushed to the scene following the sound, only to find that some adventurers had a dispute.One of the parties to the dispute happened to be an acquaintance, the mercenary squad "Hydrangea Blade" led by Irwin, and the other side was the Navarro family guard who hired them.

"What are you doing?"

"Master Luther!"

The arrival of Lude and his party caused the two sides to temporarily stop. After a while, Lude learned that the adventurers and mercenaries headed by Erwin and the guards of the Navarro family were in a dilemma because of whether to continue to move forward. disagreement.

As one of the first teams to break into the third floor of the labyrinth, Erwin and his group were originally the most powerful force on paper.

But the maze is not a battlefield after all, so facing the third floor, which is much more dangerous than the first floor, they have been losing troops along the way, and the large number has become a disadvantage.

As a result, disagreements arose at this time. The hired adventurers felt that the loss of personnel was not small. At this time, they should withdraw and take a rest. However, the loyal captain of the Navarro family insisted on asking the team to move on.Because they have found many bodies of their own people one after another along the way, and they can basically confirm that the team that defeated Brother Gou and advanced all the way to the third floor is Tring's team.

Even though their team had peerless masters like the old butler in command, it was only eight people after all.Obviously before entering the maze, they said that they were just going to do some on-the-spot investigation first, but they advanced all the way to the third floor. It seemed that they were making great strides, but their intuition and experience told the captain of the guard that something might have happened to them. In an unexpected situation, I must bring people to the reinforcements as soon as possible.

At this time, in the depths of the third layer of the maze, Dick, who had successfully captured Tling, did not leave the maze, but moved around with two captives.

Because Dick knew very well that although the interior of the maze was complex and changeable, there was only one entrance and exit back to the ground.When he came in by himself, there was indeed a way for a person to get away with it, but if he wanted to take two immobile hostages and sneak out from under the eyes of the dwarf guards guarding the gate, it would be a bit difficult.

So after much deliberation, Dick didn't leave at all, and just found a suitable place on the spot, and cleaned up Tring's "cooking" before going out.

But the biggest problem that plagues Dick now is the use of undead spells to strip the memories of living people. Even if the whole process goes smoothly, the whole process will take at least four hours, and it must not be disturbed during the period, otherwise not only the spell will fail, but also his own soul will be easily affected by the spell. backlash.

However, as more and more adventurers poured into the third floor, Dick was embarrassed to find that this group of people seemed to be scratching the ground, eager to search every inch of the maze.

Whenever I find a suitable place, before I start to start, there will be people nearby.In desperation, Dick could only move his nest again and again, but lacking situational awareness, he would always meet adventurers unexpectedly, as if there was a god guiding those adventurers. Those who make a special trip to GANK themselves are the same!

"X's! Is this group of ○ people sick?"

Although following Tling's team all the way to the third floor of the maze, Dick is not an adventurer, and the purpose of coming in was not to explore the maze at first, so he could not personally experience the joy brought by "finding the treasure chest", let alone Understand certain quirks that adventurers unknowingly develop in order to find treasure chests hidden in corners.

After being interrupted by three groups of different adventurers, Dick felt his blood pressure soar.It's like an upright adolescent boy who has prepared the "materials" and prepared his emotions in place, but as soon as he starts micro-manipulating, some parents break into the room to spy on him under the guise of delivering fruit.

However, when Dick was in trouble, Lude's help came unexpectedly.

Without any warning, a black-skinned woman suddenly walked out of the shadows.Dick, who was frightened into cardiopulmonary arrest, took a closer look. It turned out that it was the dark elf who was following Senior Lude, and he was slightly relieved.

From the first time they met, Lude successfully established a strong and mysterious image in Dick's mind.

An undead warlock who was supposed to live in the dark, not only became a priest under the lawful gods, but also a famous saint, the more Dick found it difficult to understand, the more he felt that Lude, an old man, was unfathomable.

And the subordinates around his old man are obviously not ordinary characters, and the female elf in front of him is one of them that he can't see through.

"You...how did you find me?"

"Is it difficult?"

Pretending to be profound and mysterious, Hume said to himself that since you sneaked into the maze, you have been under the surveillance of "peeping eyes" the whole time. They know exactly where people are hiding and what they are doing sneakily.

"You should have succeeded, right?"

"Well! I caught Trin, but he still has many men guarding the gate. I'm not sure to lead him out of the maze. So I want to strip his soul and memory on the spot, but... those adventures Those who have been bothering me."

Facing Hume, Dick did not hide his plan. He really needs some help now.

End of this chapter

"If you don't find our young master, none of you will leave today!"

On the third floor of the labyrinth, the captain of the guard under Tring was yelling at a group of adventurers and mercenaries who wanted to take the lead, while the rest of the guards had drawn their swords and blocked the way back.

For the captain of the guard, Tring's safety is above all else. In addition to his loyalty to the Navarro family, there is also a strong fear.If there was something good or bad about Tring, the domestic servants who were guards would not only lose their own lives, but their families would also suffer together.

How cruel the methods of the Navarro family are, those who have personally participated in them know much better than those outsiders!

The reason why the adventurers don't want to move forward is because the casualties along the way are too great. No matter how much you give from the Navarro family, everyone must have life.Therefore, no matter what, he is not willing to put his own life here for a stupid second generation ancestor who committed suicide by himself.

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, each with its own persistence, Lude, who came after hearing the news, took the initiative to stand up and smooth things over after learning about the situation from Erwin.

"In that case, how about everyone taking a step back?"

"Take a step back each? How?"

"Our God of Medicine Sect takes compassion as our heart, and regards saving the dying and healing the wounded as our duty, and you are all brave men who have bravely ventured into the magic city. Naturally, we will not sit idly by. So today, the old man made a special trip to the frontlines to bring Blessed by the Goddess!"

Under Lude's signal, Shanisi came out more and more, walked straight to the demon sculpture in the center of the room, then lightly lifted the hem of the skirt, raised her leg and hit a clean roundabout kick.

Under the black nun's skirt, the long white legs blinded the eyes of many adventurers, and the shattered demon sculpture just rightly calmed down the evil thoughts that just popped up among the old perverts.

This nun... can't be offended!

Kicking the demon sculpture to pieces, several dwarves immediately stepped forward, repaired the vacant base, and put a pure white sculpture on it.The statue exuded an extremely holy radiance, which not only dispelled the darkness in the room, but also lifted the spirits of all adventurers who were illuminated by this radiance.

All adventurers who have been to the Pine Tree Town Temple have found that the texture of this sculpture is very similar to the goddess statue enshrined in the temple, that is, the smooth and round texture of bone china.

However, the shape of this sculpture is not a certain goddess, but a golden round arch towering above the clouds, with a circle of worshiping believers around the base.

"Master Luther, what is this?"

"This is an icon, the gate to heaven leading to the realm of the gods, and the other end of the gate is the kingdom of the gods. Therefore, no matter which god you believe in, you can pray through the gate of heaven."

"Master, you don't want to set up a temple in this maze, do you?"

"Yes or no, this is a city built by demons. I hope to provide assistance to all the brave men who invade the enemy's lair, so I brought the holy image, which is also the will of the gods. I guess everyone should be able to feel it. Under the radiance of the elephant, both body and mind can be blessed."

Hearing Lude's words, the adventurers present approached the holy elephant one after another, and they really felt something unusual.The fatigue subsided even faster, and the pain was greatly relieved.And the most important point is spiritual comfort.

Almost all adventurers who have entered the maze know that after staying in this ghostly place for a long time, even if they stand still, their mental condition will continue to deteriorate over time. Listening, it seems that someone is whispering in the ear, and even hallucinations will appear in the end.

For this kind of spiritually negative BUFF, many adventurers think it is the curse of the devil, so as soon as they come out of the maze, they go straight to the temple in Pine Town to pray for exorcism.

The holy elephant brought by Lude can effectively relieve this symptom, so many adventurers knelt down and prayed in front of the holy elephant.

"Master, how many sacred elephants have you brought?"

"There are currently three, and one is placed on each of the three floors. The holy elephant needs to be blessed by the gods to play its current role. If you want to put one in every room in the maze, then give up!"

"Then can we carry it on our backs?"

"Better not, because icons are not indestructible."

After rejecting Erwin's series of ideas, the Navarro family's guards and hired adventurers accepted Lude's suggestion, relying on the icon to build an outpost to treat the wounded on the spot, and the rest used it as a In the center, divide into several teams to search the surrounding area separately.

At this moment, Erwin suddenly remembered that besides being a great priest, Luther was also a master of divination.That day, he used only a pile of copper coins to divination that Tling came to the north to find an artifact.

So Erwin found Lu De, hoping to ask him to help with a divination, to see if he could find the missing Tring.

"If you want to find a person, it is indeed easier than finding an artifact. But first of all, I need to have items that this person often holds or uses as a medium for divination. In addition, this is the territory of demons after all. I am afraid that the result of divination will be very difficult." Susceptible to Heid Taka, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the results."

After clarifying the "possible situation" in advance, Lude took a small object from the captain of the guard that was said to be a small object that Trin often played with - a cat doll made of thick hemp rope.

The captain of the guard told Lu De that this toy was made by Tring's biological mother. Since the old lady passed away three years ago, Tring would take out this childhood toy from time to time, staring at it and thinking about it.

Lude took the toy and said after a moment of pondering.

"Old man... do your best."

On the grounds that divination requires a quiet environment, Lude only called the captain of the guard and Erwin and followed him away from the crowd to a corner of the room.

Lude drew a "refinement formation" on the ground with chalk, then put the doll on it, and finally sprinkled a handful of fine white sand on it, and stared at it for a long time before saying.

"The situation is not very good, but it's not the worst. Master Tring's fate is dusty, and he should be in danger at this moment, and this involuntary state... feels like being caught by someone Same, the good news is that the stars are not extinguished, at least people are still alive."

"Then, where is that other person now?"

"It's on the third floor of this maze, but there is a force trying to prevent me from seeing the exact location of Xinghui himself. I can only determine a rough location. As for whether I can find him before the situation deteriorates further, it depends on the situation." Are you moving fast enough?"

End of this chapter

In a secret room deep in the third floor of the maze, with the guidance of a black-skinned female elf who never wanted to be named, Dick finally found a place suitable for casting spells inside the maze.

The secret room is located in the middle of a corridor, and there are crystal wall lamps emitting blue light every five meters on the walls on both sides.And the location of the secret room happened to be missing a light.Just take any other wall lamp and hang it in the missing place to open the hidden secret door.

Dick went into the secret room and took a look. The inside of the room was about ten meters square, and there were no traps. There was only a rare treasure box with a golden border in the center of the room. The surface of the treasure box was covered with a dark purple poisonous vine. It belongs to the kind of "hidden objects" that are not marked on the big map.

A group of people entered the secret room, and the female elf turned the mechanism next to the door casually, and the door of the secret room was closed again.

"You can do it here. The secret room is soundproof, so you can't hear it from outside."

After the black-skinned female elf finished speaking, she walked to the shadow in the corner of the room and stayed there. Although Dick couldn't see her face clearly, he could sense her gaze, which made Dick somewhat uncomfortable.

"That... elder sister, you..."

"What? I'm watching from the side, making you uncomfortable?"

"Uh……"

Dick acquiesced in embarrassment when the black-skinned female elf broke his mind.The female elf sneered, didn't say much, got up and was about to leave.

But before going out, the other party suddenly turned back, walked up to the two unconscious hostages, and picked up Denzel among them.

"This person has something to do with us. It is necessary to keep him alive. Do you mind if I take him away?"

"Of course...don't mind."

Watching the black-skinned female elf leave with a large living person in one hand, Dick subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.I don't know if it's a simple illusion, or because of something else, Dick always feels that this woman is very dangerous, and the degree is even higher than that of Lude who beat him up with his bare hands before.

After the other party left, Tring moved his wrist and began to draw the magic circle required for the soul stripping spell on the floor.This is not the first time Dick has used this spell. It is one of the first high-level necromancy spells he has mastered. He likes to use this trick to deal with those who think they are stubborn!

The preparation process for the ceremony took nearly an hour. The rune array with the intersection of two circles is very complicated. Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive drawing of one, the "ink" used to draw the array also needs to be blended by secret methods, and it is not easy to obtain. cheap consumables.

In addition, the difficulty of the soul stripping spell is also very high, and it may fail if it is a little weak.At the least, the soul of the stripped object will be "crushed" and turned into "living pieces of meat", and it will take a lot of effort before and after to work in vain.

After getting ready together, Dick dragged Tring to one of the rings of the circle, and then sat cross-legged on the other side.

After the spell is activated, the souls of both parties will come out of the body together, but the caster is the anvil, and the intruded receptor is the fish. Without any resistance, the intruder is allowed to browse everything and steal the interesting parts.

And the most vicious thing about this spell is that the way it steals memory is not "copying", but fucking "cutting"!

Under Dick's control, Tring's soul was first "pulled" out of his own body, and under the vision of the necromancer, an orange-red flame appeared, and then Dick's own soul also came out on his own initiative. The orifice, shaped like a gray-brown octopus, pounced directly on Tring's soul, stabbing it hard with its sharp tentacles.

The moment his soul was invaded, Tring's body trembled involuntarily like an epileptic seizure, and two death slaves standing aside immediately stepped forward and pressed him down to prevent him from leaving the circle.

Dick's operation is also as careful as possible. Tring is not a magician, and he has not specially learned meditation to improve spiritual power, so his soul is as fragile as most ordinary people.

It's true that it's very good to intrude, but it can collapse if you are not careful.Therefore, before finding the information he wanted, he had to ensure that Tring would not be played badly.

Thanks to the fact that Tring himself is still alive, his soul is not a fragment and has a complete and complete memory, but this also makes the amount of information huge, and it takes time and effort to look it up.

For necromancers, the easiest way to steal a little secret hidden in a person's heart is to use death slaves to enter the dream, but the images in the dream are all exaggerated and exaggerated, and there is no small difference from the facts Deviation, it is not as accurate as stripping the memory directly from the soul.

But the soul is a sanctuary that even the gods cannot easily touch. Dick can invade Tring's soul and inspect everything at will, but as long as the souls of the two parties are out of contact, he can't bring any information from the soul of the other party. some kind of self-protection mechanism.

So Dick had to "cut" the part of the memory he wanted directly from Tring's soul, making it his own memory.

It is also because of this that you must be cautious when stripping your soul, and only cut the part you need. The less the amount, the better. If you cut too much, it will cause an irreversible "pollution" to your soul.

He made a similar mistake once. The target was a wealthy businessman. Dick just wanted to know where this guy's secret vault was. In the end, he accidentally made it a little bit harder, and gave this guy's XP that was obviously different from ordinary people. After getting it over, he often had sexual thoughts about some elderly grandma after that.

The entire intrusion process would last for a long time, during which Dick could not be disturbed, so simply relying on the secret room could not make him feel at ease, so he also released the death slaves around him to be vigilant.

Because undead creatures have no entity, they can hide in buildings like walls and pillars, hide in the dark to spy on passing adventurers, and emerge under appropriate circumstances to scare or lure the living away.

At the same time, on the other side, the guards of the Navarro family were hurrying through the labyrinth corridor.Twenty minutes ago, the local "saint" Lude provided them with the approximate location of his young master through divination, and said that Tring himself was in a dire situation, as if he was in some kind of danger.

So the leading captain led the people to set off immediately, and after learning that the enemies they might face had the ability to drive the undead, Lude kindly lent them a magic lamp that could sense the existence of undead creatures.

The captain held this old oil lamp with a classic shape in his hand. The dim yellow light flickered on and off, but from time to time there was a flash of coquettish blue light.

And noticing the change of the lights, the captain couldn't help but feel refreshed, which meant that there were really undead moving around them!

End of this chapter

The room where the icon is located on the third floor of the labyrinth has been temporarily converted into a wounded shelter by Lude. Hume, who had gone out alone to explore the way before, quietly returned to Lude at some point, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"It's all arranged, what to do next?"
