Civilization Guardian Front

"I see."

Lyu nodded in response.

Just when the elf lowered his hood and was about to walk past the proprietress.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, it's a big taboo to enter the dungeon on an empty stomach..." Miya, who was looking straight ahead with her arms crossed and hugging her chest, suddenly said:

"There's some food at the bar, fill me up before we go."

"..."

The elf paused.

The cold heart suddenly regained some warmth.

"thanks."

...

10:31

Dungeon, No.18 deep in the southern forest, camp near the stream...

Opening the curtain of the luxurious tent, the "sunlight" from the ceiling crystal became stronger and stronger, and the dazzling and divergent halo in front of him made Chios narrow his eyes slightly.

Although the physical fitness of Lv.2 adventurers is much higher than the average of ordinary people, it is still a little short of the extraordinary level. Even if Nazha Oriches does her best, the four hours of endless fighting will completely force her To the limit, he fell into a coma in the arms of the young man.

Of course, with Chios' accumulated skills from many battles, if he tried his best, it would be enough to make the opponent's limbs paralyzed within an hour.

It is a pity that if you do that, on the one hand, it will be too bullying, on the other hand, when the woman regains her sanity, as the man, I am afraid that I will face overwhelming questioning.

Why so proficient?

How many times have you done it with others in the past?

How far do you have to throw me before you are willing?

It is not uncommon for Chios to deal with such words in the past, but unless it is absolutely necessary, the best way is undoubtedly to take the initiative to avoid the birth of this terrifying and chaotic hotbed.

Take out the labyrinth information manual that Freya gave him.

After only one day in the mission world, Chios has not been able to gather the information at hand.Just taking advantage of the leisure time before I start to be busy, it would be good to familiarize myself with this safe floor while reading materials.

The No.18 floor has a unique living environment. There are even towns formed by a large number of high-level adventurers on the Rock Island in the West Lake. Many of them are trading in the gray area of ​​regulation and control on the ground, which can be regarded as a force among the group of adventurers.The third-level adventurers are the main occupants, and their strength is not bad, but they are not as strong as the large family members.

The most important point is that the will of the guild and the gods makes it difficult to intervene in the specific affairs of the dungeon...

It's a good idea to include this in the layout if necessary.

Thinking of this, the young man looked back at the tent.

The [Sentry Eye], which marks the vital signs of Chios and Nazha, is now operating beside the bed where the dog-eared girl is sleeping, and is always on alert for all movements within 300 meters of the surrounding area.

As long as the young people don't leave too far, they can rush back immediately when they receive any warning.

Let the dog-eared girl have a good rest before lunch time...

The town is a bit far away, so let's explore in the forest first.

It just so happened that he still had a place he planned to visit.

Five years ago, holding high the banner of justice, stood up against the darkness in Ola Lidu, and was finally lured into a dungeon trap by hostile forces. Except for one member of the team who survived by chance, all the other members of the "Asteria" family died.

If there is no accident, the graves of those people are located nearby.

"Justice..."

With one hand on the hilt of the sword, Chios looked up at the sky made of crystals, shaking his head with emotion:

"Why do people always like to die with such vague beliefs?"

Chapter 460: Sword Fairy, Gale, Fairy

Leave the camp and follow the stream to the northeast.

At first glance, the ecology of the dungeon is similar to that of the surface, but the actual ecological environment on each floor is far inferior. You can't hear insects and birds singing among the flowers, plants and trees.

You don’t have to worry about getting your face covered in spider webs when passing through the branches and leaves, and you don’t need to pay attention to whether there are poisonous snakes hidden under the dead leaves. Naturally, there are no disturbing mosquito bites. This is only possible in the underground world where the topography, temperature and species distribution are determined by the maze. Formed, just like a fairy tale forest scene.

Pure and peaceful, away from the disturbance on the ground...

No wonder many adventurers have a soft spot for this place. If it weren't for the fact that the dungeon's self-repairing landscape makes it difficult to build buildings, and there are occasional monster tides that attack and attack, more people may settle here.

Holding the labyrinth floor information booklet in his hand, he read Chios' thoughts along the way, which had never been disturbed.

Due to the intricate woods, shrubs, crystal barriers, and winding forest paths, it is normal for each area to appear close to it but far away.The young man first found the nearest waterfall and the lake formed by the confluence of its tributaries by following the sound, then set foot on the lower gentle slope and bypassed several giant trees. It took about 10 minutes.

The sense of direction given by the extraordinary spirit kept him from getting lost and kept in mind the relative position of the camp.

The distance under the feet is less than three kilometers, but the straight-line distance from the camp is less than one kilometer.

The layered green shade that can be seen above gradually becomes sparse, as if the proportion of vegetation growing out of soil crystals is significantly higher than other places, as if actively competing with vegetation for nutrients in the soil.

Through the narrow path made of tree crystals, to the end where the light grows brighter...

The towering plants around seem to avoid extending their roots to this place in unison, deliberately leaving a grassland that cannot be called spacious. The top of the floor replaces the crystal brilliance of the sky, and the light curtain is vertically sprinkled through the patio.

In the center, a family flag that was so dilapidated that it was difficult to identify its belonging was erected at the position where the hazy halo was most concentrated.Behind the ten simple cross-shaped tombstones made of cross-bundled branches, different weapons are inserted into each one, forming a circle around the flag.

Five years ago, the battle against the forces of darkness entered the final stage. [Asteria Familia] sneaked into the "lower floor" in order to push the old enemy [Rudhara Familia] into a desperate situation, but unexpectedly, they were lured here , in the "trap".

Usually, the dungeon will repair the damage by itself.

However, when the structure of the labyrinth is shaken by damage beyond the recovery speed, the Dungeon of Lamentation will give birth to a destroyer that destroys pests.

The Rudra family took advantage of this characteristic to attract the destroyers, and they died together with the Astria family who drove them into desperation.

Lv.3 two, Lv.4 eight.

After paying such a painful price, the only female elf who survived by chance, under the cover of the head of the family and the rest of her companions, repelled the monster with serious injuries.

Before the decision of life and death, they burned themselves without hesitation and entrusted the future to the same person.

Although holding high the banner of justice, they are different from those idiots who don't even understand the value of their own protection. They each have clear moral values ​​in their hearts, and they are not the kind of rigid people who stick to dogma.

Unfortunately, after all, he could not escape the end of the martyr.

Chios doesn't like to use sublime packaging to force people to beat their heads to bloody beliefs.

Even if justice sheds its hypocritical and empty body and acquires a concrete image, it is still too hot for people, and sooner or later it will burn up those who embrace this brilliance.

Just like in front of the eyes, the corpses were eaten by monsters, leaving only the young girls with blood-stained weapons for people to pay tribute to.

"..."

Chios is convinced that, in his own words, the means to deal with the enemy will definitely be richer and more flexible.

Differences in temperament can indeed lead to very different results.

However, at its root, wisdom is also a part of "strength", not a panacea.

If you are faced with a desperate situation that cannot be solved by exhausting all your wisdom and courage.

Will he stand up to protect something like these cute and silly people...

"It seems that I have no right to ridicule you."

Chios had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

As soon as his consciousness moved, the ten flowers lying quietly in the emblem space appeared in the palm of the young man.

Walking forward slowly, Chios bent down and gently placed the flowers picked by Lu Lu in front of the cross tombstone in sequence.

As soon as the last plant was presented, a heraldry light curtain suddenly projected in front of the screen, and a warning signal came from [Eye of the Sentinel]...

[Two units of strange humanoids were detected, the threat levels were Rank? C, Rank? D]

Just like on the radar screen, two light spots marked in red are slowly approaching the middle.

[Estimated to arrive at the core area in 2 minutes]

According to Chios' estimation of the strength of an executor who has reached the Rank?C level, he must be at least a Lv.5 adventurer to meet the standard.

It takes 300 minutes to reach the camp from the maximum detection range of 2 meters, which means that the opponent is walking forward and should not be hostile.

In any case, it was impossible for him to allow unknown visitors to approach his temporary residence casually.

The silver rune hidden under the back of the right hand lit up, and the surrounding atmosphere responded to the magic call.

After turning around and running a few steps to make sure that the rest of the dead would not be disturbed by the next movement, a burst of air suddenly erupted behind Chios.

boom!

His whole body turned into a green and silver glimpse, rushed into the surrounding dense forest, jumped over all obstacles in front of him with a neat and vigorous posture, and went straight to the direction of the camp.

Swish!

The branches and leaves of vegetation swept by the storm flew into the air, and the sharp wind whistle spread rapidly.

! ! !

It took four hours to reach the [-]th floor. The female elf, who was shortly picking flowers by the lake and preparing to go to pay homage to her former companions, was shocked when she felt the fluctuations from the familiar area.

There was no time to deal with the things at hand, so Lyu hurriedly ran away.

Although she rushed to the cemetery as quickly as possible, when she arrived at the scene, the figure who was here not long ago had disappeared.

The elves looked at the resting place of their companions for the first time...

Fortunately, the weapon belonging to her friend showed no signs of being touched, nor did the simple tombstone she wove.

The only difference is the pure white flowers placed in front of the tomb.

It is located in the depths of the hidden forest on the [-]th floor, where no one knows about it except myself. Even if you accidentally break in, how can you deliberately bring the right number of flowers?

Judging from the depth of the remaining footprints on the ground, the opponent's footsteps were deliberately light when approaching the cemetery.

The slender hand that was about to touch the white flower retracted and stopped in midair.

This is something that is dedicated to the deceased with a sincere heart...

"who is it..."

...

Leaving the nineteenth floor, the blonde girl belonging to the Loki family and the orange-haired goblin walked into the forest on the south side of the safe floor together.

"The number of monsters has suddenly increased. Although it makes people feel a little busy, the harvest has also increased..."

The Lv.3 adventurer Refia, who was carrying a backpack and served as a supporter for picking up dropped objects, felt the weight of the heavy magic stones in the backpack, and couldn't help but smile on her pretty face with a hint of childishness.

"It should be exchanged for 200 million Farleys. What a bumper crop, Miss Ace."

Hearing this, the blond girl was startled.

Indeed, judging from the number of magic stones dropped, it is undoubtedly a bit more earned than usual.

However, this kind of income, which is very accustomed to first-level adventurers, can actually make the girl beside him so happy.

Infected by the brisk voice of the younger generation, Ai Si's delicate face, which rarely reflects obvious emotions, also softened.

"However, if you don't come back at the appointed time, Riveria will be angry..."

Thinking of the original plan to return to the Twilight Mansion before dinner yesterday, but because of the large number of monsters born in front of her, she repeatedly killed the monsters and forgot the time. Maybe it would cause Refia to follow her and be trained. A little guilt appeared on his expression.

"..." From the mouth of the object of admiration from the bottom of my heart, the orange-haired goblin froze.

"As long as you report the abnormal situation that the number of monsters has increased truthfully, you shouldn't be taught a lesson..."

With a forced smile, she spoke words that she didn't even believe. Refiya's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally she couldn't continue.

She knew very well that the elven royal family, who was both the deputy head and also her own magic instructor, would never be merciful to spare the two of them because of the changes that such members could cope with.

"Since I noticed the increase in monsters, why don't you come back as soon as possible, what if there are further abnormalities?"

Rather, such a dialogue will happen...

Thinking of this, the fairy girl sighed.

Ais, who was also familiar with Riveria's temperament, lowered her eyes and remained silent.

A gloomy dark cloud hung over the heads of the two members of the Loki family.

(No, obviously I insist on following, how can I make Miss Aisi worry about it in turn!)

Noticing the self-blame expression on the blonde girl's expression, Refia couldn't help clenching her little hand holding the strap.
