Chapter 38 Maze Information

4days ago Science fiction 8
Alas, what did you say to Cely?Lucia has been back for a while and is about to go up to find you.Seeing that I was so late, Elna said with a little complaint.

Well, that, she asked me for something... I don't know what to say.

OK, I know that Cely may have some little secrets that she just wants to tell Mingxuan and doesn’t want us to know, it doesn’t matter.Then let's have a meal?Elna said with a smile, and Lucia, who was standing beside her, smiled.

I also smiled awkwardly and sat down with Cely.

Because I had to wait for Lucia, Jiesi was not in a hurry to cook. She heated up a few dishes she had prepared first, and it was delicious now.

It is not a solution to continue to be embarrassed. Let’s change the topic first.

By the way, what happened to Lucia?You used to go home very on time, but there must be some troubles you didn't handle today.I said to Lucia.

It's not a problem, it's just that I learned that a maze appeared in the wilderness near the royal capital. It has been kept confidential before, and only the relevant personnel involved in the investigation will know.However, it is said that it will be made public the day after tomorrow, and the confidentiality is not very strict now, so I can learn about this through my own connections.Not only that, I also learned that the initial clues to discovering this maze were provided by two adventurers. Although the relevant personnel do not remember the names of the two, based on the appearance description, I can confirm with certainty that it is Mingxuan and Elna.Lucia said.

Elna and I looked at each other, not remembering what we had done.

It is said that the clues are strange monsters whose magic power is abnormally enhanced and have acquired instantaneous movement ability. They are affected by the power of the maze.Lucia added.

What? It turned out to be a huge wild boar that was hunting for the first time. Unexpectedly, there was a maze behind it.

At that time, the guild staff did tell us that they would conduct an investigation, but they did not contact us because of this incident, and did not tell us the first time they found the maze.

But this is not important. In the early confidentiality investigation, it is most likely that some shallow valuable treasures will be taken away first.

I don't know whether the Adventurers Guild or the Royal Officials participated in the investigation, but no one would think that the money was too much. I am not short of money myself. They are willing to search for some value in the shallow layer and let them go. I am more concerned about what is deep in the maze.

But after all, this is the first time I have heard of the existence of a maze. Although many of the different world animes I watched in my previous life have similar settings, the specific world of my current life must be different.

By the way, do you know what this maze is?I asked.

Oh, what have you learned in Magic Academy? The general courses are in vain, and I don’t know the maze.Elna said.

Well, I learned some magic that I was interested in. As for the relevant common sense knowledge content, I was actually not interested in it, and it should be enough to have Elna studying, right?I scratched my head and answered awkwardly.

Humph, there are times when you need me!If you have any questions in the future, just ask me. A lot of the knowledge I have learned in Magic Academy is also non-magical. It is not difficult to answer your small question!Elna said proudly.

I always need you. Whether you taught me language or had sex with me at night, you are an irreplaceable existence.You deserve everything I give you, but you will also ask you to teach me other things that will make me feel bad.I said.

What's wrong with this? We are the closest lovers, why do you say so well?If you really feel sorry for it, just reward me in bed at night.Elna said.

I nodded with a smile and signaled her to continue.

Lucia also had some understanding of the maze. After their joint explanation, I basically understood the operating mechanism of the maze in this world.

In this world, the maze can be regarded as a creature whose bottom will be the most produced, and then slowly grows upward until it breaks through the ground.

No one knows what the bottom of the maze is, because so far no one has reached the deepest part of any maze. The deep layer of the maze has super monsters far stronger than the ground monsters, and no one can match even the previous civilizations with stronger magic levels.

The maze will automatically generate walls and monsters with magical characteristics. Usually the walls of the maze are very strong and can be automatically regenerated even if they are destroyed. The maze walls in certain locations are even too strong to be destroyed.

The monsters in the maze also have the ability to automatically regenerate, but they will not regenerate when there is an adventurer in the current layer. Therefore, you can block one person in each layer to make a large number of layers safe. When the monsters you need to refresh for training in the shallow layer, you also need to temporarily block this layer for a period of time to refresh the monsters.

In addition to monsters, there are also various treasures and traps in the maze.

Their generation mechanism is as mysterious as a maze, and no one is willing to look at it in detail. However, if you find a useful enchantment treasure, you can sell it at a very high price. After all, no one can now have enchantment technology.

As for the trap, it is the place where the maze is malicious. There are teleportation traps that directly teleport to the deep layer, generation traps that generate monsters with extremely powerful strength, and even seal traps that directly seal adventurers who fall into the trap. There are countless adventurers who die because of the trap.

This type of trap is usually disguised, and some even disguise themselves as treasures to coax adventurers to approach. However, humans who have paid countless costs finally found a way to detect traps. Although ordinary objects will not trigger them when touching a trap, objects that impose detection magic can gain the ability to induce traps in a short period of time.

The powerful monster generated by the trap will be refreshed without anyone on the entire layer. The seal created by the seal trap will not detect the existence of the living body after the detection magic disappears and will be automatically lifted.

Although no one knows where the object has been transferred after stepping on the transfer trap, each object will mark its own detection site in advance. If it can be found later, you can know the starting point and end point of the teleportation trap.

A large part of the previous confidentiality research is also exploring the location of shallow traps and drawing maps.

Mazes also have a life cycle. A maze that has existed for a long time may collapse at any time, and new mazes will continue to be generated. There are also records of adventurers who die because of the collapse of the maze.

However, it will become very unstable on the eve of the collapse of the maze, and usually no one will get close to it, so it is generally safe.

The maze resources in this world are very rare geological resources. The Laps Kingdom has not had a maze for fifty years. The maze generated this time is still very close to the capital. It can be said that it is a good fortune for the entire country. Therefore, it takes six months to investigate to announce it. The direct announcement of such a big thing may indeed cause an abnormal sensation.

The reason why the maze was discovered was generally because its own magic influenced the monsters on the ground, just like this time.

In fact, I have no contribution to discovering the maze. I just hunted an abnormal monster. Even without me, someone else would sooner or later do it.

Moreover, the maze is very easy to detect after it grows out of the ground.

As for the reason for the existence of the maze, no one can give a guaranteed correct answer. After all, no one can communicate with the maze.

The strength of the monster continues to increase from shallow to deep, the form and rules are also very regular, and many treasures will be randomly generated, as if they were created by God to train adventurers.

But I know that God really exists, maybe it is really the case. The maze is God's artificial intelligence, which is generated and destroyed by itself according to God's command.

If I further explore God's purpose, I really don't know. I am just a human being who pursues personal insignificance and happiness. Why should I care about the laws of the world's operation and even the ideas of God?

Lucia told me that the maze is a very important resource. Although ownership belongs to the country, magic academies everywhere will spend a lot of money to purchase a certain degree of use rights for training.

The right to use the maze belongs to the category of priceless but not marketable. After all, the maze resources are too rare and many magic academies cannot buy them even if they want to.

This time the maze is close to the capital. I believe the Kingdom Magic Academy must have arranged a training plan, but Elna and I don’t know at all. On the one hand, we don’t have the habit of paying attention to the gossip, and on the other hand, this matter is indeed worth keeping confidential. Even if there are relevant arrangements, we may not be able to tell us until tomorrow.

Although the specific details are not clear, we can't discuss them too much here, and we can fully understand them by visiting the maze in person.
