Chapter 82: Captive Monsters
Chapter 82: Captive Monsters
It was already dark when Miss and Sylvia returned to the guild's temporary hotel after dinner.
After seeing the two people returning safely, everyone in the guild was stunned.
Wasn't he arrested for murder?
Lian was even more confused. Could it be that these two bastards escaped from prison?
"Ms. Sylvia, you guys..."
When Enwei heard that Sylvia was captured by the City Lord's Mansion for killing local people without reason, he hesitated for a long time and almost used his noble status to plead for her.
Miss narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the facial expressions of these people, trying to find some clues.
They were new arrivals, and the locals of Tanis had no reason to attack Sylvia.
He also didn't think that Envy would hire someone to kill Sylvia. The biggest suspect now was Lian.
However, this woman manages her facial expressions quite well, and there is nothing unusual to see.
"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. The city lord has already clarified it for us. The dead locals were a group of heretics who often killed foreign adventurers. The two of us have cleared the trouble for the city lord this time." Miss calmly explained to the four people.
Enwei felt relieved after hearing this, "As long as Miss Sylvia is okay."
Lian followed suit, "You two scared us to death. We almost wanted to break into the prison to save you."
Wheeler and Enwei were all puzzled, wondering when did they say they were going to break into the prison.
Miss pretended not to hear. He glanced at the seriously injured Wheeler and put the bag full of Dragon Rhythm Magic Ore on the table.
"The magic ore in the Dragon's Nest Cave is indeed of good quality. President, what's the situation of today's maze exploration?"
Enwei looked at the status of Wheeler and the others and said a little embarrassedly, "Today's exploration progress is not bad, it's going smoothly..."
Is it going well?
Miss looked at his embarrassed teammates again. Sister Lian was almost burned bald. This was called smooth sailing?
"In that case, I will continue to go to Mount Lesler with Sylvia tomorrow."
"and many more!"
Ok?
Miss looked in the direction of the voice and found that the one who interrupted him was Wheeler, who loved dog barking the most.
Willer's face turned red, and he covered his injured arm. "Miss Sylvia, you should explore the maze with us tomorrow."
Making money is important, but so is your life.
This was the first time that Miss had heard Wheeler give in since he had joined the Justice Enforcement Guild.
Xiluvia looked disgusted and said, "Don't talk to me."
The frustrated Willer dared not speak, and turned to Miss, "Well, I heard that the magic mine on Mount Lesser is not very valuable, why don't we go down the maze together tomorrow."
Timid nodded in agreement. He wished he could be tied to Miss.
Once we have Miss in the team, she can help share a lot of pressure.
You know, before Miss came, Timid was the only punching bag in the team. Wheeler bullied him, Lian exploited him, and there was not a single comfortable day for him.
Mis took a sip of water and said, "Want us to go together?"
Wheeler nodded.
"Easy, beg me."
These four short words almost pierced Wheeler's head. He thought he had heard it wrongly.
"What did you say?"
Even Enwei couldn't help but said, "Miss, don't go too far. We are all partners."
Mis pouted and said, "That's easy. We can just continue mining tomorrow."
Now I remember that we are partners. Why didn’t I remember this when you mocked me before?
Why didn’t you remember it when you were planning to send me to die alone at Mount Lesler?
Sylvia nodded in agreement.
"you!"
After a tense moment, Wheeler suppressed his anger, but finally lowered his head for the unknown treasure in the maze. "Please, come explore the maze with us tomorrow."
Miss smiled and patted Wheeler on the head. "Okay, okay, I'll take care of you guys tomorrow."
Seeing this scene, Timid almost couldn't help laughing out loud, it was so cool.
Envy looked a little depressed. Not only had his teammates been humiliated by Miss, but he also had to go on the maze trip to prove his abilities, but in the end he still needed Sylvia's help.
He didn't say anything else and went back to his room to sleep.
However, it was not so easy for him to fall asleep.
As expected, he couldn't sleep tonight.
Also suffering from insomnia are Lian, who can't contact Lumo no matter what, and Wheeler, who is furious.
. . . . .
The Spidel Labyrinth, located deep in the Hyde Canyon west of the city of Tanis, is a medium-sized maze. It consists of a three-story main maze and two single-story small mazes.
The steps built artificially many years ago can help adventurers easily reach the entrance of the maze which is more than ten meters high.
The huge, dilapidated stone gate at the entrance still reveals a hint of its former grandeur, which reminds Miss of the former city of Tanis, where adventurers came here to see the Spidel Labyrinth in its true form.
After a group of six people entered the maze, the door closed automatically and then disappeared.
The so-called maze is actually a living dungeon. The building itself is alive, like a huge Rubik's Cube that rotates by itself. You may be in the upper left corner in the last second, and be taken to the lower right corner in the next second.
Once an adventurer enters a maze and cannot find the way back, he will most likely be trapped to death.
Fortunately, the Spidel Labyrinth has long been thoroughly explored by adventurers, and every room and location has marks left by predecessors. Unless you are a fool, you will not get lost.
After the roar, Miss turned his head to look at the moss-covered wall, took out a small dagger and cleared away the tree roots that had spread to the middle of the wall. An inconspicuous mark appeared in front of everyone. It was "C-04" carved on the stone brick with a knife, which was area No. 4 on the third floor.
"Being teleported to the last floor at the very beginning?" Enwei was a little surprised.
The four of them reached the end yesterday and only got to B-02. They were a little lucky today.
Miss raised his wand slightly and used [Magic Perception].
He carefully felt the magic content of the air and the direction of its flow, and discovered a problem.
There were two different kinds of magic flowing in the air, a magic so subtle that normal people couldn't detect it at all, which made Miss feel a little uncomfortable.
His brows furrowed slightly, it was the breath of the demon.
Xiluvia seemed to have noticed it, "Not normal."
Mis nodded and shook his head, he didn't dare to jump to conclusion.
"Let's go to C-13 first. This overflowing magic power should be coming from there."
Seeing the two people moving so quickly, Enwei and the other three were a little stunned.
Enwei: Am I not the president? Why should he give orders?
Wheeler: Let this damn burden go in front and take the blame for me.
Lian: Bitch, you just listen to men like that?
Timid: Will Wheeler die today? Looking forward to it...
Not long after, six people, led by Mis, arrived at C-12.
Miss discovered that the C-12 area was connected to a single-layer small maze. Generally, there were not many resources distributed in these subsidiary small mazes, but there were quite a few monsters.
This is the so-called trap area, and no one will enter it on their own initiative.
Mis stopped and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
The flow of magic in the C-13 area seems too deliberate, and it doesn't seem to be formed naturally. It is most likely artificially arranged to cover up the ominous magic leaking from the small maze inside C-12.
Is someone doing something bad in the maze?
Miss motioned for everyone to stop and turned to walk into the small maze.
Sure enough, they found traces of human life in the small maze, as well as several small magical beasts sleeping.
These magical beasts are different from ordinary magical beasts. They do not contain much magic power in their bodies, but the ominous magic power they exude is just like the feeling given to him by the demon girl he saw that day.
This made Miss certain that someone was raising them, and the person raising them was most likely the remnants of the demon clan.
Miss was stunned when he thought of this. If the small maze was the lair of these monsters, then the big maze...
Isn’t this the dinner plate of these monsters?
