He looked at the exquisite model in front of him. The model was made of clay, and it represented the first to tenth floors of the blood king's cemetery. Each scene is scaled to a certain scale, where everything is detailed. On the ninth and tenth floors, in addition to the layout of the maze, some miniature models of the maze beasts were made with clay, and the colors represented the number of beasts.
For example, yellow is ten, red is hundreds, black is thousands, and so on.
In this way, the number of beasts in the maze is naturally clear at a glance. The model of each layer can be disassembled independently to facilitate his observation and thinking. On this table, there is another model, but this model can't even be called a semi-finished product. It's just a corner, you can barely see a few stone pillars supporting the dome, and then there's nothing.
But this model has a small sign with a number on it, eleven. This represents the labyrinth on the eleventh floor. All the models on the table were made by him. From observation and recording to making and molding, he completed every process himself. Including the eleventh-floor maze that was just started, only one corner was made. That's because even he just circled around the exit of the eleventh floor. In order to make a complete model, it is necessary to drive out all the relic creatures on this layer.
It's easier said than done.
He is Eligo, the commander of the Burning Fire Lion, known as the Great General of the Fierce Lion. Since Eligo took over the defense of the Blood King Cemetery, there have been several riots in the cemetery and they were all suppressed. People only saw Eligo's bravery and decisiveness, but they didn't know that besides holding the sword in his hands, there were other things. Good workmanship for making models.
Now that the tenth floor of the cemetery is temporarily under the control of the perishing lion, Eligo is not satisfied, and he plans to launch an attack on the eleventh floor in the near future. His plan is to suppress the relic creatures on the twelfth floor, so that the fire lion can be at ease for a while. Even the defense was transferred to the original Thornhorn Deer Legion, and the Burning Fire Lion could be transferred from the cemetery so that it could participate in the war with the Shadow Principality.
The national war is the stage Ellie yearns for.
Then someone knocked on the door.
In order to facilitate emergency response, Eligo moved his office and residence directly to the eighth floor of the cemetery. And now it was his rest time, and the soldiers who were familiar with him knew that Eligo didn't like to be disturbed in his private time, so something must have happened if he came to disturb him now. He raised his head and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and a messenger came in and said, "Report to the general, someone wants to see you."
Eric squinted his eyes.
Said: "How long have you been in the fire lion."
"After this month it will be five years, General!"
"Very well, then please tell me the soldier. During these five years, have you ever seen me receive a visitor during the break?"
The soldier said loudly: "I'm sorry, General. But General Andy thinks that you must be notified, at least, these two things must be given to you, and then you can decide whether to see or not."
"Oh?" Eligo was a little surprised, and Andy was his lieutenant. He has been with him for a long time, and if even Andy feels the need to do so, then this guest must not be an easy one. He gestured, and the soldier delivered a letter and an identification paper. Ellie first looked at the identity document. The golden double lion seal on the document was so eye-catching that people couldn't ignore it. With this seal alone, it's no wonder that Andy should be cautious.
Then he opened the letter again, and after reading it, Ellie said softly: "It's him? The celebrity next to the second prince is not staying in Tieqiangling at this time, what are you doing at the Blood King Cemetery..."
"Let Andy bring someone in."
The orderly breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little curious. Instead of blaming him, Eric was willing to receive guests, which was beyond his expectation. Originally, the soldier was ready to be scolded, but now he felt much more relaxed, and he saluted and left. It didn't take long for Allen to walk into this office, and beside him was naturally the boy Bai.
Eligo looked at him, then looked at Bai, and then said: "Since the emperor sat on the throne, Lord Alan is the first earl to be awarded by the emperor himself. Unfortunately, I had a military order at that time, so I couldn't go to the imperial capital. Watching the ceremony. I always feel a little regretful. I didn’t expect Lord Alan to come to the Blood King Cemetery today. This is really surprising. I think the Lord will be willing to tell me that instead of going to Tieqiangling, he came to this cemetery instead For what."
Allen looked at the Sarleon General, and thought that since Ellie had the name of Sarleon, he must be a rough character. Unexpectedly, this general is handsome and tall, but he is far from that name. He smiled slightly and said, "I thought General Slim made it clear in his letter."
Eligo shook the letter, and said calmly: "General Sling just confirmed that your identity is not a forgery. As for your purpose of coming, he said it would be more convenient for you to say it yourself."
Allen didn't take it seriously, it was impossible for Slin to deliberately put him together when he got to this point. The reason for writing this is probably related to Eligo's temper. He didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I want to continue to improve myself, so I want to take a look in the cemetery. This should be a good training place."
"It's about the same as I guessed." Ellie spread his hands and said, "But Mr. Allen, you should also know that we, the fire lions, must guard the cemetery. In case the beasts run away because of your experience, I think this responsibility You and I can't bear it."
Allen nodded and asked, "Which floor is the fire lion currently guarding?"
"tenth."
Allen looked at the table again, his eyes swept between Eligo's models, and stayed on the eleventh-floor model with a corner for the longest time, and then said: "Well, I guarantee that the relic creatures will not It will enter the tenth floor. If one appears on the tenth floor, I am willing to accept the general's military law. At the same time, I will provide the general with the maze layout of the cemetery below, as well as biological information, including their characteristics, quantity, etc. In exchange for the conditions for me to enter the maze. Of course, I also need the general to provide supplies, I wonder if the general is willing to accept this condition?"
Ellie laughed: "Master Allen has already mentioned this point. If I don't agree, then I would be too ignorant. But I want to add one more point, the life and death of your lord, the lion army will not Responsible."
"Can."
Eric said happily: "Then Lord Allen, come with me."
The two left the general's office and strolled through the eighth floor of the cemetery. The original labyrinth layout here was almost flattened and changed into a layout of several streets. Eligo introduced as he walked, which street is dedicated to providing food supplies, which blacksmith has the best manual work, which mercenary group can hire guards, and so on. It's just that Allen came to the cemetery to improve his strength, and of course he didn't plan to hire guards. Both the Scarlet King and the Devil's Tribute have almost indestructible qualities, so the blacksmith's use for him is very limited. In the end, only stores that provide food and even medical supplies are the most useful. Ellie also specially introduced him to several old stores that have been operating in the cemetery for many years. Allen paid attention to them one by one. They bumped into three or five mercenaries and adventurers on the way. Allen asked, "Are there any adventurers entering and exiting the cemetery now?"
"Yes, but very few." Eligo said: "Most of the adventurers have already left. Firstly, several ferocious beast riots frightened many people, and secondly, foreign races invaded. These young people hope to make a contribution to the empire." Because of their strength, they all rushed to the front line. I just want to say that they have good intentions, but the national war cannot be taken lightly. If they refuse to join the army, they will most likely be stopped by the front-line garrison and sent away."
"Soldiers who don't obey orders are useless to come."
Allen deeply agrees. Originally, if the battle was to support the war, Allen could go to the front line and not worry about not having a fight. But as Eligo said, he couldn't carry out the training according to his own wishes when he was on the battlefield. After weighing the two, he chose the Blood King Cemetery. After all, this stage is more free.
Allen stayed overnight on the eighth floor of the cemetery that day, after replenishing food and water. On the second day, Eligo personally sent him to the entrance of the eleventh floor. There will be a bronze door at the entrance of each floor of the maze as a partition, and there is a spiral downward staircase between the gates. The stairs leading to the eleventh floor are guarded by soldiers, and Eligo even arranged a branch at the entrance of the eleventh floor. vigilante. The soldiers opened the gate for Alan. After the gate was opened enough for people to pass through, Alan looked up, and the door was dark. There was wind blowing from the door, but it was unexpectedly dry, without any feeling of dampness in the ground.
Eligo handed Alan a necklace with a drop-shaped spar on it, and the general said: "This is a star shining stone, and it will emit light when stimulated with source power. In a place like a maze, the star The brilliance of the flare stone is enough to illuminate your surroundings. But remember, the light will also attract the attention of relic creatures. When you need to hide, remember to take off the necklace. If you lose the supply of source power, the star glow stone will no longer Shine any light."
"This is a personal gift."
Allen was also polite, and put the necklace around his neck. Sure enough, after injecting a little source power, the drop-shaped spar began to shine brightly, with white dots twinkling in the spar, like stars in the night, no wonder it was named Xingyao. He looked at Bai and said, "Let's go."
Bai nodded.
The two walked into the maze, and when their figures disappeared out of the reach of the lights, Eligo made a gesture. The soldier closed the door slowly, and the general whispered to the dark world behind the door: "Take care."
As he turned to leave, the door closed completely.
It was completely dark at first, and after a while a gleam of light gradually lit up in the darkness. The twilight gradually spread out like a breeze, forming a hazy light cluster, and Alan and Bai were in that faint light. As Eligo said, the radiance of the Starlight Stone is not strong, but in the dark maze of the cemetery, it is enough to illuminate the things around Allen. Regardless of whether it is Alan or Bai, as long as there is a little light, they can already see far away, and it is clear enough.
Allen looked around first. They came in from the entrance of the maze, passed a corridor less than 100 meters away, and entered a hall. The environment of the hall is just like the model made by Eligo, the dome is supported by stone pillars surrounded by several people. There are no decorations on the stone pillars, and the hall is limited in size, at least the end can be seen at a glance under Allen's eyes.
From the corridor, a dark corridor ran through the hall, leading to an archway at the end. In the hall, apart from a few broken stone pillars, broken stones and broken pillars rolling on the ground, there is nothing else worth noting. There are no relic creatures, nor any decorations, this hall is unexpectedly simple. Allen walked down the aisle, Bai followed behind him. Deep underground, in such a dark place, even Allen couldn't relax safely. Kebai's appearance is obviously much more natural. For the young man, this kind of environment is very familiar to him.
The two came to the arch, which was covered with dust, and there were some patterns on it, but they could not be seen clearly now. Allen reached out and pressed down, the door shook and was not locked. So he pushed the door vigorously, and even the weakest voice would be infinitely amplified in the silent underground world, so the copper door was pushed open amidst a series of groans. The sound was so loud that even the deaf could hear it. Allen believed that all the relic creatures would wake up even if they were sleeping.
A choking dust line fell on the door, Alan gestured, and Bai quickly passed the door. Just out of the arch, Allen stopped immediately. In the brilliance of Xingyaoshi, he saw that the two of them were on a platform. The platform is connected to the arch, but the front and left and right are void, only a stone step on the left stretches into the darkness below, Allen was stunned, this is a bit different from the maze on the upper floors.
The upper layers of the maze, no matter how complicated the obstacles are, are always on the same plane. And this eleventh floor is obviously not as simple as a flat maze. But relying on the brilliance of the Star Shining Stone alone, Allen's vision is limited after all, and they can't see through the thick darkness below. Allen shrugged: "Maybe we should start a fire."
Bai nodded silently.
A moment later, a stream of fire cut through the darkness, rose from the platform at the entrance, and crossed hundreds of meters of void. Finally, it hit a wall and exploded into a circle of fire and disappeared. But this was enough for Allen. When the stream of fire flew by, the flames illuminated the place it passed through, allowing Allen to see many stairs with ups and downs, platforms with different radiuses, and bridges connecting the dome. Huge stone pillars, semi-enclosed corridors, countless doors, and independent rooms made of four walls.
These things formed a three-dimensional maze, and what Allen saw was just a corner of this maze. As for more places, it was still in darkness. In addition to seeing the layout of the maze, he also saw some fluorescent lights that were different from the fire flow. These fluorescent lights fluttered flexibly, and they should be the eyes of some relic creatures.
"It's really unexpectedly big here." Allen said.
Then the two began to walk down the stairs, and the platform behind them was gradually submerged in darkness and finally disappeared completely.
The labyrinth on this level is so vast and the darkness so deep that there is only one spot of light left in the radiance where the two of Alan are in this blackness as deep as a screen. Just like those fluorescent lights flying in the wild in summer night, they are faint and seem to be extinguished at any time. In the darkness, that point of silver light kept moving. Occasionally stops, but moves for a longer period of time.
After walking down the stairs, Allen realized how complicated this maze was. Those undulating stairs, tunnels or cave dwellings that appear at any time, as well as ubiquitous arches and secret rooms, make this place a complex three-dimensional traffic network. It seems that any road is unimpeded, but I don't know where the road under my feet will eventually lead. The two could only move forward by groping, as at this moment, they were walking on a broken road. On the left side of the passage, there is a building similar to a house, and on the right side is a void. However, looking down with the light, you can see the plaza and other buildings looming below in the dark.
This is a huge vertical and horizontal space. Allen can't imagine how brilliant this labyrinth will be when it is exposed to the lights. It's like an underground city, even more magnificent than Tallinn Aisha.
They came to the end of the road in a blink of an eye, a dry fountain appeared in sight, and there was a sculpture in the middle of the fountain. It's just that the sculpture only has the lower half, and its upper half fell into the dusty pool. Around the fountain, there is a staircase leading to the upper platform, but in the middle, another stone staircase extends to the left and right. One goes down and the other goes up, both lead to the unknown other side in the darkness.
"Damn." Allen shook his head and said, "Let's take a rest, build a fire, eat, and think about how to go next."
When he entered the cemetery, he never thought that the eleventh floor would be like this. A three-dimensional maze like a city, it seems impossible to pass quickly. Bai picked up some broken wood nearby and set up a simple fire. Allen popped out a ray of sky fire with his fingers, and the fire immediately burned. The flame dispelled the darkness, and when the fire was lit, Allen seemed to hear a series of faint noises in the darkness, like the exclamation of something attracted by the fire.
Allen took out a finger-thick charred wood from the fire, and used it as a pen to draw on the ground the route map they had traveled all the way just now. Even with Allen's photographic memory, he has to think a little bit about every short section of drawing, because the route here is too complicated. Beside Bai took out the bread and water and handed them to Alan. He himself took out a water bottle and took a few sips, then wiped off the water stains, and looked around vigilantly.
Alan put down the burnt wood, tore the bread in half, and handed half to Bai. The boy shook his head: "I don't want to eat this."
"At this time, don't be picky eaters. If you don't eat, you won't have strength." He forced the bread into the boy's hand.
Bai almost swallowed the piece of bread through gritted teeth, and then said, "I'll eat it once, and I can eat it a few days later."
"What's the matter? When I was your age, I had to eat several meals a day." Allen said casually.
Bai opened his eyes wide, looked at Alan with an almost reverent gaze, and said, "Father, you are so good at eating."
Apparently the teenager misunderstood something, Allen felt a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly without explaining. Suddenly there was a strange noise in front of him, like the sound of gravel falling, and Allen's eyes suddenly became sharp. Bai twitched his nose, and then grinned to reveal two fangs. The boy's golden eyes looked into the darkness, and both of them felt that a creature was approaching.
At this time, there was a light "咻" sound in the darkness, Allen tilted his head, and a short black arrow was nailed to the pool behind him, and the tail of the arrow was still swaying!
