Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty The Bottom King vs. King(1/2)
The four of them stopped and waited for a while.
The ethereal and distant song surrounding their ears gradually dissipated, but the little girl's evil spirit never appeared again.
Then, Alvin angrily pulled out the coward who was hiding behind him:
"The little evil spirit girl who asked for help? Have you seen the evil spirit of the Atlian man?"
Milan smiled embarrassedly:
"Yes, you don't know. She really scared me when she suddenly talked to me."
After Milan and Alvin, who also witnessed the real face of the evil spirit girl, exchanged information, the wizards in the team couldn't help but become interested in her.
An evil spirit who still retains a clear self itself means great value to the wizard and may even provide another shortcut to the realization of immortality.
Moreover, this evil spirit, who claims to be the priest and saint of the Feathered Snake God, is different from her Atlian compatriots, still retains the appearance of human beings. Listening to the meaning conveyed in her singing, not all the upper class people in the Kuma Empire (priests are also members of the upper class powers) have been transformed into "blasphemy" because of their pursuit of eternal life.
Some people still chose to retain their human identity and their belief in the feathered snake god Kukurkan.
At least...that was before they died.
According to normal logical thinking, if these people were able to protect themselves, the once-prosperous Kuma Empire would not have perished silently.
The ballad also conveyed several key messages.
First, we worship the noble God of Snake, who controls the sunshine and rain, sowing and harvest, life and civilization...
This illustrates a series of priesthood and powers of the Feathered Snake God.
Second, I hate living sacrifices and blood sacrifices, as long as the people repay kindness and wealth...
This shows that the blood sacrifice of the Kuma Empire has become the blame for the wind, and this Lord God will not take it.
The third and most interesting thing is here.
The god in the fog stole the wings of the snake god, and the great father could never return to heaven...
"I" was born in the fog, in the good thoughts of the people of the tribe, in the wings of God... Let "life" return to the earth and continue to protect the people on that land.
The "God in the Mist" is obviously the Labyrinth God Ehhot or the owner of the Mist Sea Roygol.
Of course, according to the current situation, the possibility of the former is obviously higher, but the latter is not completely unsuspected, and it may even be a conspiracy between the two parties.
But it is hard to guess what they stole from the Feathered Snake God. And I don’t know if they were on Ehhot’s territory or simply didn’t want to tell them that the little girl’s evil spirit did not tell them clearly, but used metaphors.
But it is certain that this must be an extremely important thing, even so important that even a demigod cannot return to "heaven".
Finally, with the original intention of seeking help, the little girl obviously wanted her group to help and bring something that was referred to as "life" out of the "sea of mist" and send it back to the mainland.
Alvin and the others were not sure whether this wise little girl evil spirit only came to them or asked for help from everyone who entered the maze.
However, this place is a standard territory of evil gods after all. Although the powerful force can allow them to move freely for the time being, even Anita and Alvin, who are as strong as the third-level, have self-knowledge.
In the eyes of an extraordinary fifth-level evil god, there is probably no difference between existences below the fourth-level.
The hope of the group's escape lies in the "rules of the game" that Eheut himself set, not the force they rely on, so it is best not to do extra things if they can do them.
"Let's ignore her for the time being, leave this ghost place safely and then consider other things."
The team members agreed unanimously.
Then.
Until they opened the second floor at the fastest speed, they did not see the evil spirit girl appear again.
The second layer of the maze is much smaller than the first layer, and it is a group of underground mine caves that are scattered and erect.
There are "Dragon Demon Worm" everywhere here that only needs one to fill the entire tunnel. In fact, their size is comparable to that of a small species of sea monster.
Maybe these intricate mine caves are their masterpieces.
The "Dragon Demon Worm" has dozens of streamlined tentacles on its head, like a sticky octopus, with a soft gray-black body behind it like a large stretched cloth pocket. Before it appears, it emits harsh sound waves, and it is speculated that it should be a way of perception to adapt to the underground light-free environment.
Some huge demon insects themselves replaced the existence of the tunnel, using their own body cavity to form various flesh and blood tunnels with no difference on the surface, but without entering or leaving.
Fighting against these huge monsters with unfast movement speed, Alvin's [Flesh and Blood Crash Technique] shines brightly, and he easily takes out a path that is enough to pass in the middle of a blocked wall of flesh.
As it approaches the exit of the second layer of maze.
As the "blasphemy" said, probably every wave of people needs to randomly experience the triple test of strength, wisdom and luck. After experiencing the test of the power of the previous layer of maze, at the end of the second layer, they ushered in the test of wisdom:
The two farmers brought a total of 100 eggs to the market to sell. The money they earned was the same.
The first person said to the second person: "If I had so many eggs like you, I could sell 15 copper plates." The second person said: "If I had these eggs of you, I could only sell 6 and 2-thirds of copper plates."
Ask them how many eggs each have?
For this world where the literacy rate in various countries is generally below 1%, mathematics is definitely a high-end knowledge.
Putting it outside, this question is enough to make countless people scratch the scalp the nightmare, but for Alvin, it is just an elementary school level.
After only three or five seconds, I snapped my fingers.
“Have it.”
Showing off his IQ in front of everyone, the answer that came to mind was Olivia, Milan, and... uh, ahem, in short, easily pass the level.
The third maze where the arrival area has been reduced a lot again.
In addition to targeted monsters, the biggest feature is that the maze itself is composed of various indestructible mirrors, flat, concave, convex, and uneven haha mirrors.
There are not many strange and twisted architectural styles left. Although the various straight lines and arcs that are replaced are still chaotic, they are already works designed by some crazy artists in humanity.
In the mirror maze.
Some mirrors reflect the figures will jump out and attack the owner, while others will connect to the complex mirrored world, and you will be completely lost in it if you are not careful.
Fortunately, there is a "golden compass" that leads the way at any time, but it is also safe.
In the last level, face a bunch of plane mirrors that may teleport them to various desperate situations, and you don’t have to worry about following Milan, who is now full of luck, and you will win directly.
In the process, they also confirmed that there were established rules everywhere in this maze, and the labyrinth god Ahhot also deviated from their inherent impression of most ancient gods being extremely confused.
Moreover, starting from the second level, the taste of order in the maze becomes heavier and heavier. By the third level, the shaping from chaos to order is almost completed.
It also further confirmed the initial speculation of Alvin and Olivia that the Labyrinth God Ahhot intends to reshape his priesthood through such a ceremony, and then move from the chaotic ancient god to the side of order.
This is also good news among bad news for them.
because.
With their strong team, the first three levels have almost no obstacles to them, and it only took less than three hours in total. They will face the last level soon, which is what the believers call "the choice before God"!
In order to determine the accuracy of the information, they even found an opportunity to sneak attack several waves of blasphemy, and the torture result was no different from that on the first level.
A powerful existence that can understand the context is always much stronger than a crazy and weird indescribable person.
call--
Riding on the wind that was blowing from under him inexplicably, the four people slowly fell to the fourth and last floor of the maze.
Until this time, the little girl's evil spirit never showed up again.
But when I arrived at a maze, I would sing that song once, and the group who made up their minds never responded to her.
"So...why should we go?"
Looking at the scene on the fourth floor, Milan looked around and felt a little at a loss.
Because the fourth floor and the first three floors are completely two extremes, even the simple path ahead can be surrounded by eighteen folds. On this fourth floor of the inverted pyramid maze, there is a smooth water surface where you can see the boundary at a glance.
It is visually estimated to be about the same size as the original 5,6 square kilometers of the island outside.
Even the walls around and above the head are completely made of running water, with nothing but water.
but.
As soon as Milan finished speaking, the ripples rippled under their feet disrupted the calmness of the water and triggered the response mechanism here.
Hulalala...
A huge rock arch that fully conforms to human aesthetics slowly floated up from the water, and clear sea water flowed down the surface of the arch.
Every arc, every mark, every detail on the arch seems to follow the most stringent design standards, perfectly fitting human geometry and even a wonderful golden ratio.
A tall and solemn building stands in a pool of clear water. Everyone who sees it can experience the strong mathematical beauty, just like a monument built by the state, a solemn and sacred church building.
It makes people unable to help but hold their breath.
Moreover, the material has also changed from the gray-white rock that formed the maze at the beginning to pure white marble, which seems to symbolize some profound transformation.
When the change stopped, the group of four people came back from this extreme contrast.
Drya--
A mantra that resonates with the water world and is full of vitality.
The water swelled under the feet of the four people, forming a round head and a long tail. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a cute big whale.
【Witchcraft·Second Elemental Elf】
"Let's go, let's go!"
Alvin waved his hand gently, and the whale formed by the water flow flicked its tail and carried four people to the huge arch.
To be continued...
