Chapter 277 Entering the Deepest Labyrinth
As the sun rises again, a new day is coming. For everyone here, the time now is almost the last time for them to be stable, calm and comfortable.
For the apprentices at the Tour de France Tower, this is also a rare rest period for them. Originally, after Zagared and others arrived, they should have entered the deepest maze. However, due to the unfortunate encounter, they had to postpone the departure date. Although Stuka's injury was cured by Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum, the problematic mentor Ger obviously did not have such good luck. Although I don't know what was attached to him. However, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum's Holy Light Power was not fun, so in the following few days, Jungle Ger kept in the camp on the grounds of being sick.
They stayed inside, and they couldn't even see the figure. The others had no intention of coming out to protest against Rhode and others. First, after seeing the strength of Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum, they knew that they were no match for this group of people at all, and second, most people were not very good at Geer's senses. Third, the remaining mentors were a little dissatisfied with this apprenticeship trial. In their opinion, if Geer could get seriously ill and die, they could go with the flow and no longer need to conduct such a dangerous trial. Naturally, it would be impossible for them to run to Rhode to protest something.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as they wished. After lying for a few days, Geer actually came alive, which also meant that the apprenticeship trial would continue. After Geer woke up, he officially announced the main content of the apprenticeship trial to others, and the content itself was not complicated. So let the apprentice's team take a token into the deepest maze with a token, and then put the token in a designated position, even if the entire content of the trial was completed. As for where those tokens were to be placed, the tokens in their hands would give these apprentices a specific direction, and all they had to do was to come to the designated location according to the token's prompts and complete the task - from the surface. This is really a very simple task.
Standing on the hillside and looking at the nervous apprentices not far away, Rhode raised his eyebrows. After that, they also obtained the token from Zagared. To put it bluntly, this is not a strange thing. It is just a special group teleportation position mark device. This thing was originally available in the game, because the deepest maze can have a hundred floors. It is impossible for players to start from scratch every time. Players can open one for every ten floors.
In this way, when they enter the deepest maze in the future, they can directly teleport from the first floor to the destination to start the next strategy without having to start over every time. Now it seems that there is also this group teleportation array in the deepest maze in reality, and what they hold is part of the coordinates of this teleportation array. When these apprentices reach the tenth floor, they can open this group teleportation array.
Strictly speaking, this is not very difficult. Although the sea of trees outside itself is very dangerous, there is more than one of the deepest maze entrances, so the difficulty of each layer is the same. From the tenth floor, it is not very difficult for these mage apprentices who have basically entered the elite level. After all, they do not set up dungeons from the beginning like players. Now the average level of these people is around level 50. As long as you are careful, it will not be a big problem to reach the tenth floor.
But the problem is that things don't seem that simple.
Because the group portal is obviously something that only requires the strategy maze. Rhodes doesn't believe that the Landscape Tower will be idle and have nothing to do to find a group of people to guide the deepest maze. Unless the entire Landscape Tower is all the same time travelers as himself. Moreover, the deepest maze is extremely dangerous, which is not consistent with the "safety first" principle of the Landscape Tower itself. More importantly, after the inspection of the Canary, it was found that these teleportation marks themselves have been limited in directions.
, that is, when they are activated, they will automatically join somewhere and then conduct one-way teleportation. But Rhodes is unknown where the portal is connected. And Canary is powerless to do anything about this. She is a practical faction. She is not a theoretical faction like Marlene. Perhaps in the use of spells, no matter the special abilities after awakening, ten Marlene are not as good as Canary. But in terms of theoretical knowledge, the canary cannot catch up with Marlene.
However, even if you don’t know the real information contained in these teleportation marks, considering the identity of the Geer mentor and the meaning of the portal itself, Rhodes can guess it.
"Malin, are you ready?"
At this moment, the apprentices have entered the teleportation array at the entrance of the deepest maze respectively. This is also the difference between the deepest maze and other places. It does not actually connect the internal channel of the maze, and entering and exiting the maze can only pass through the teleportation array. However, entering and exiting the maze is easy, but it is much more difficult to get out. If there is not a one-way teleportation array on each floor that can teleport them back to the ground, even players may not be able to endure this hardship.
"It's ready, Rhodes, I've analyzed the teleportation array. It's been rigged and done by someone, but don't worry, I've added a few fixed beacons to it. After they've teleported, we can go directly into it."
"very good."
Hearing Canary's answer, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. He did not think about stopping these people from the Rhodes. First, the relationship between the two parties was not so good that Rhodes was willing to help them, and second, the most important thing was that Rhodes also hoped to take this opportunity to see what Ger and the people behind him were doing. Since they could take out this kind of coordinate transmission token, it means that Ger must be very familiar with the deepest maze, and they hope to achieve their goals with the deepest maze. This is the real reason why Rhodes allowed those people to enter the maze. He wanted to know what those people wanted to do.
Teacher Geer had a chaotic aura, which Rhode had confirmed through Alice. It was precisely because of this that he made this choice. After all, chaos will distort history, and the distorted history cannot be recorded, damaged or even incomplete for Alice. Therefore, in the end, Rhode still has to rely on himself.
At this moment, the last team of apprentices also walked towards the teleportation array located in the mountains under the guidance of the instructor. Zagared was obviously a little worried. He turned his head and looked at Rhodes and others not far away. He was not a fool. The experiences he had come these days made Zagared instinctively feel that this trial was not that simple, but now, he had no choice.
"Zagared, it's time for us to set out."
The voice of the instructor rang in Zagared's ears, and he heard his mentor's words. Zagared sighed, and then he turned around.
“Yes, mentor.”
Soon, the teleportation light flashed, and then the figures of everyone disappeared into the center of the teleportation array. Seeing this scene, Rhode raised his brow slightly.
"Okay. It's time for us to play."
The feeling of weightlessness of teleportation came, in an instant, the originally blue sky, white clouds and emerald green trees disappeared, and instead it was broken, but the square hall was erected on both sides of them, but due to time, most of them had become broken. Just after Rod and others appeared, the originally dark hall in front of them suddenly shone with lights, and the torches placed on the walls lit up one by one. In a short while, the bright light extended to the surroundings, illuminating the entire maze hall.
"ah…………"
Seeing this scene, Christie couldn't help but exclaim. Even Ling widened her eyes in surprise and looked at the scene in front of her curiously. For both of them, it was their first time to go out for adventure, let alone enter such a dungeon to "sweep dungeon" or something. For both of them, they were all new experiences they had first met.
"Christy, Ling, be careful, this is not as safe as you think. There may be traps everywhere, follow me and Bubble. Don't act without permission. No matter how strange things you see, don't touch them at will. Do you understand?"
It was not until this time that Rhodes whispered, then he turned his head and said to Christie and Ling who were standing beside him. Although Christie is not weak now, Ling has the strength of a legendary assassin, and even Leo is not her opponent. However, in the field of adventure, these two are real rookies and have no experience at all. If they don't watch them, God knows what will happen. In the game, Rhodes has never seen some players of high-level levels trapped by some small, almost worthless traps and completely finished things. Sometimes, strength does not represent everything. Fortunately, both Christie and Ling are very obedient children, at least they don't need to worry about them.
"Bubble, this time you can help and take care of them more."
"Okay, leader."
Hearing Rhode's order, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum nodded quickly, but then she asked in confusion.
"But what to do in front? Team leader, do you and your elder sister plan to fight with each other?"
"No, I have helpers."
Hearing the little bubble gum talking, Rhode's mouth raised slightly, then he stretched out his right hand, and soon, accompanied by Rhode's movement, the summoning array shone out from his hand. Then, five cards of different colors emerged from the air and surrounded Rhode's side. Then, Rhode's right hand held it hard.
A bright light emerged, and then five figures appeared beside Rhodes.
The first ones were still Celia and Celestina. Their appearances were not changed at all, and they were followed by Greenhill and Madalas. Two petite white elves stood beside Rhode with a smile, surrounding him from left to right. And the last one who walked out of the rune of light was the fourth Holy Sword Card that Rhode had just bought before - Karen. As for Slose... Rhode said that it would be better for her to stay obediently. After all, this place is deep underground. If Slose collapses wildly, the unlucky one will be the one who is not in the end.
However, facing the scenery in front of you, Celia and other holy sword elves did not show any confusion or curiosity. On the contrary, most of them looked at the broken hall in front of you and the corridor not far away with nostalgic eyes.
"The Palace of Order... I really didn't expect that we could come back here again..."
Looking at the broken stone statues in front of him with nostalgic eyes, Selestina murmured to herself, while Celia lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Even the white elf sisters were whispering to each other at this time. Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum curled her lips dissatisfiedly, and then looked at the Canary.
"Look, big sister, so I hate summoning swordsmen. What's so great about being a lot of people?"
"The most amazing bubble is the most popular one."
Hearing Bubble's words, Rhode twitched the corner of his mouth and answered. Originally, summoning swordsmen was not a profession that could fight against others, and this was quite dirt on the forum. Especially after Rhode became famous, in line with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, some people mocked Rhode and summoned swordsmen as cowards, and there was no technical level except for the group fighting by summoning beasts. They also had their own opinions. Although it is not only summoned swordsmen to fight with summoning objects, but also mages. However, mages are very weak in close combat after all, and are not good at close combat. Then it is understandable to use summoning objects. However, summoning swordsmen can learn sword skills, but they still have to fight together, which makes people feel a little unbalanced. Especially when fighting alone, looking at the group of opponents with one move, regardless of whether they can win or not, they feel uncomfortable psychologically.
When summoning swordsmen were not famous, they mostly laughed at summoning swordsmen. After Rhodes promoted this profession, players began to complain that this profession was despicable, shameless and vulgar... This is the case with the world itself.
Their summoned elves are not unfamiliar with the deepest maze. Rhodes was not surprised. In the past history of Alice, Rhodes even built the maze by the Creation Dragon Soul and the Six Pillar Demon Gods. Since these holy sword elves under his command had fought side by side with them at that time, there would be nothing strange about this place.
But not every summoned elf is immersed in past memories. Just as Selestina and others were trapped in past emotions, Karen reached out to raise his glasses, then walked to Rhodes, raised his head to look at Rhodes.
"My Lord, are there any important things you are here?"
"Yes, Karen."
Looking at the girl in front of her, Rhode looked at her curiously. Strictly speaking, Rhode didn't know her about this card that was bought after Highlands. She didn't like to express her emotions like Celia, Celestina and others, but was very restrained and calm. Not only that, she always had a indifferent tone, and looked like "Although this matter is quite interesting, it has nothing to do with me." She always commented from an outsider's perspective, not in it. Rhode didn't know much about her, but from the card her special skills were matched by Celestina and others.
Judging from her attitude, Karen should have a responsibilities similar to "military advisor" in this small group. This time, the reason why Rhode summoned her was to see how Karen performed. Although there are not many people around her, such as Qilian and Marlene, both are very good candidates. But they all have their own work to do, and it is impossible for them to follow her all the time, and Karen has no need to do this. As a Holy Sword Card, she will certainly be with her. When fighting, with her being by her side, maybe Rhode doesn't need to worry too much.
Thinking of this, Rhode soon told Karen about the current situation, including the matter of the Tour de France that they discovered after they came here, as well as the Gel mentor who was in trouble with Chaos. Karen listened quietly to Rhode's story. It was not until after Rhode finished speaking that she reached out and raised her glasses again.
"The bottom layer... is it? Sorry, your majesty, we don't know what is at the bottom layer. I'm afraid even the six Demon Gods are not clear. Because when we were building this place, the bottom layer was completely built by the five Creation Dragons, so no one knows where there is anything except the five Creation Dragons. As for the questions of these apprentices... I don't think you need to pay attention. According to your majesty, they want to activate the teleportation array. When starting the teleportation array, we need to activate the core. According to our current location, we can directly enter the core area from here and wait for them there. If the other party intends to do something, I think they will not miss this opportunity. As for the problem of controlling the mechanism you mentioned, I cannot give you a clear answer for the time being. It has been a long time since I have passed here, and I cannot confirm whether the control core can still function normally. This requires a judgment after finding the control core."
It's indeed reliable...
Hearing Karen's calm and indifferent answer, Rhode couldn't help but sigh. Every time he talked to his Holy Sword Elf, Rhode felt very depressed. Celia always spoke with fear that she would leak state secrets accidentally. And Celestina ran the train without a door in her mouth, and Greenhill and Madalas never returned to any of her problems. As for Cyros... let it go.
Now that he can finally have a Holy Sword Elf who can communicate with him normally, Rhodes feels extremely fortunate.
"Very good, then let's go."
The first layer of maze is completely stressful for Rhodes and others. The difficulty here is the lowest, and most of the people entrenched here are low-level monsters such as goblins. Not to mention that there are full-level players like Canary and Little Bubble Gum. Even Rhodes can only sweep the entire first layer. Now, with the help of the Holy Sword Elves, they have begun to sweep monsters in the entire area.
Although the monsters here are more powerful than monsters outside due to the pollution of magic, they have no power to fight back in front of Celia, Celestina, Greenhill and Madalas. The voracious goblins who flock to the sky were grilled under the double flames of holy and darkness in an instant, and the huge poisonous scorpion whose shell is hard enough to compare with the armor was easily split and cut by the shadows that quietly passed by. In front of the Holy Sword Elves, these are at most elite level low-level monsters, which are not worth mentioning at all.
Rhodes was behind, occasionally letting them reveal a few monsters to practice Ling and Christie. Especially Christie, the little guy grew up so big that he had never even killed a chicken. Even if he mastered the power of the most powerful demon among the six pillars of demons, it would be just a simple empty talk.
Compared to Christie, Ling is much more skillful. In the shelter, I'm afraid she has not done much to fight against Chaos monsters, so when facing these goblins and other monsters, Ling's performance is still very satisfactory.
Among them, what surprised Rhode the most was Karen.
Although he also knew that since Karen could rank fourth among the Holy Sword Cards, his combat power was naturally outstanding. But when he actually saw Karen's battle, even Rhode himself was shocked.
