There is a huge stone door on the island. It is not upright, but at a sharp angle to the ground, with the front facing diagonally to the sky. It is obvious that the door leads to the underground. This is an underground maze.
“Even though I’ve seen it several times, I still find it shocking.”
Frederica said with some emotion, "Let's go. Be careful when you go in and immediately separate from the other adventure groups."
The adventure groups had the same idea and all set off, following the dirt road that extended from the island and connected to the river bank, rushing towards the stone gate.
On the way, he still remembered to pay attention to whether the adventure group around him was approaching him.
Strangely, the teams from the two magic families stood quietly where they were.
This is the Berg family’s team.
The chieftain, Fritz, held his staff, frowned, and asked the tribesmen around him, "Has that idiot not been found yet?"
"After the young master left the city to carry out a mission last night, he lost contact with the guild leader."
"Didn't we ask him not to go to the guild for the time being?"
"Uh, sorry, Chief, we..."
"Forget it, you can't do anything to him." Fritz was a little annoyed, "Have you investigated the strength of the mission target?"
"A lone magic apprentice named Zhang Mu."
"Then never mind."
"Yes!"
Fritz walked towards the island.
As they moved, the Marvin family's team did not stay where they were, and followed the Berg family under the leadership of the patriarch.
Chapter 66 What is the law of the jungle
The adventurers jumped into the stone gate in groups.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and kept a certain distance in the order they arrived at the door.
Zhang Mu was somewhat confused about this.
Even if the adventurer is willing to fight to the death for a magic book, he still hasn't entered yet, has he?
They didn't even see the shadow of the magic book, so they wouldn't fight each other, right?
Frederica's answer was that it was to keep the habit.
Vigilance will become a habit if you let down your guard a bit, and it will take some time to regain your vigilance.
But enemies may appear at any time, casting magic or attacking with spears or swords.
The outcome of negligence may well be death.
Therefore, instead of wasting energy on alerting again when entering a dangerous environment, it is better to maintain this sensitive mental state all the time.
Zhang Mu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that in the city where no one dared to use force, the adventurers were still very wary of people with strange professions.
While chatting in line, it was finally the turn of the four elves. They jumped into the stone gate, walked down the stone stairs, and came to a cave hall.
There is light, but I can't find where the light source is, but it is enough to see the surrounding environment clearly.
The hall is circular with a semicircular ceiling. The ground is paved with mossy bluestone slabs, and the dirt walls are covered with thorny vines.
There are hundreds of arches arranged in a circle along the bottom of the cave wall, about five meters apart.
At this moment, the door was blocked by a dimming blue magic light screen.
These arches have no markings to indicate the value of the treasure inside, nor is it certain whether the spaces behind two doors are connected.
Everything is possible.
Therefore, the adventure team basically picks one based on their preference and stands aside waiting for the seal to be lifted.
After listening to Frederica's explanation, Zhang Mu finally understood why the adventure team was vying for the first place.
The size of each maze varies greatly, and everyone is worried that there may not be enough doors, so they come in first and take one.
If it’s really not enough, then it depends on your ability.
This underground maze is quite large and has many doors, so Zhang Mu and others don't need to rush for a door. They can just find a place to stand and wait.
Taking advantage of the gap, he looked around curiously.
The adventurers' attire and member configuration are somewhat inconsistent.
The magicians were fine, most of them were like Potter, wearing magic robes and holding magic wands or magic swords.
The knights who practiced breathing techniques did not all dress like “knights”.
A small number of them were like the knights in common sense, wearing light or heavy armor covering their entire bodies. Some used spears, while most of them used long swords with round shields or square shields.
The other knight professions use all kinds of weapons, such as hammers, rapiers, and maces, and wear half-body light armor, rattan armor, etc.
He doesn't look like a knight at all.
Moreover, most adventure groups in the books only have magicians and knights, and there is not even a priest who is good at healing magic.
There were dozens of adventure groups in the hall, and in only three of them stood priests wearing magical jewelry that emitted a faint milky white light.
Common knowledge from Avril's classroom - the attribute of light magic. A magician who specializes in healing magic is called a priest. This is just a title and has nothing to do with the church's clergy or church duties.
Magic jewelry that emits a milky white glow and is adapted to the properties of light magic. Only clergy and priests are qualified to use it.
Avril was not around, so Zhang Mu curiously asked Frederica if there were any magicians with light magic attributes who did not practice healing magic.
The answer is that there might be, but I have never heard of it, let alone seen it with my own eyes.
As for why there are so few adventure groups with priests on site, it is because priests who can save a lot of potions are very popular.
Generally, priests follow powerful adventure groups to the central area of the Thor continent where mazes are opened relatively frequently.
Frederica also told him that during their travels across the continent, the prosperous empire had seen many adventure groups consisting of non-human races such as demi-humans and dwarves.
But there are very few such adventure groups in the Kingdom of Lake.
Zhang Mu guessed that it might be because the Kingdom of Lake was located in a remote corner of the Sol Continent.
After the chat, the blue light screen sealing the doorway finally disappeared completely, and the adventure groups set off one after another, each entering the archway in front of them.
Zhang Mu and others did not hesitate and bent down slightly to get in.
The cave hall, which was noisy just now, suddenly became quiet. After a while, it was filled with the chaotic footsteps.
Fritz entered the entrance first, looked around, and saw that all the arches were open. The adventure group had disappeared, and they had obviously set off.
Without saying anything, he led his people to stand in the center.
About a minute later, the team from Marvin's magic family slowly came in and stood casually to the right side of the hall.
The Berg Magic Family was stronger than him, so he said nothing when the other party domineeringly occupied the middle position.
"Mr. Fritz, it's been a while since we last saw this lively place. The last time Bala City opened its maze was about sixty years ago."
Fritz moved his gaze to the front of the Marvin Magic Family team, where stood a middle-aged man dressed as a knight.
He has short, slightly curly golden hair, a warm smile, and his temperament is like that of a kind uncle next door.
But Fritz would not be fooled by his deceptive appearance, and said in a cold tone: "Dantai, what evil thoughts are you thinking now?"
“You misunderstood.
In terms of strength, you are more than enough to crush me, so how could I seek death?"
"It's just that," Dantai smiled, "I just heard by the river that your beloved son went out of town to handle a mission last night and didn't return.
Coincidentally, I learned that a lone magic apprentice named Zhang Mu was attacked last night.
have no idea……"
Hearing this, Fritz narrowed his eyes slightly: "That lone magic apprentice is still alive?"
"yes.
Formed a group with four elves and entered one of the doors."
Fritz knew very well what kind of person his son was.
Although he has a somewhat mischievous personality, he knows that a maze will be opened today, and unless he is entangled in trouble, he will definitely come back early.
Now the target of the mission is alive and well, but the son who was carrying out the mission is nowhere to be found. It is obvious what happened.
The five fingers of his right hand holding the staff tightened, and Felitz said expressionlessly: "Why are you so kind to tell me this information?"
He emphasized the word "kind-hearted".
"The dignity of the magic family must not be violated. This is our common appeal."
What on earth does this cunning ghost want to do...
After a moment of silence, he turned around and asked the tribesmen around him, "Are you sure there is no magic apprentice in the family?"
"Uh..." The tribesman looked hesitant. The news he received was indeed about a magic apprentice, but he had heard the conversation just now.
Speaking of magic apprentice, Fritz would probably kill him with a single shot of magic.
"Master Patriarch, he must be a lone magician, but his professional level may...maybe it's wrong."
Taking a deep breath, Fritz concentrated on thinking, his idiot son is an apprentice knight...
He raised his head and said, "Find two apprentice magicians and two apprentice knights from the clan, take off their family emblems and change into clothes, and then launch a sneak attack when they come out.
Be careful not to hurt the other four elves."
"As you command, Lord Patriarch."
If the other party is disguised as a lone magician and is about to die from a surprise attack by his clan members, he will definitely reveal his family background.
Since he couldn't afford to offend them, he killed four members of the tribe in the name of helping them to silence them.
If he still doesn't reveal his family name when he is in imminent death, then he will die.
Dantai listened with a barely perceptible smile on his face, praising, "Mr. Fritz's thinking is still so thorough, and he considers everything perfectly."
Oh, does Hagrid take me for an idiot?
Even the Bishop of your city of Bala doesn't dare to arrest the magician directly, and you're trying to trick me?
