You answer the answers to two riddles aloud – "silence" and "mirror".

The female stone statue on the right was stunned, then slowly stood up straight and stopped attacking. On the left side, he had no intention of stopping, and continued to attack Melanie. Fortunately, Melanie was not afraid of the physical attack of the female stone statue at all, and she was not harmed.

Not silence?

It's weird, it should be right.

"The word 'silence' cannot be answered with words!" Suddenly, Matthew shouted from behind you.

You take the pen and paper from Annette's hand, write the silence, and show it to the female statue on the left, which stops its attack.

The two statues turned and walked back to either side of the door, as their name suggests, a pair of carved stone pillars re-disguised as the door frame, their hands clasped together near the top of the door.

Alyssa's +2 longsword is completely scrapped. Luckily, you can now afford to replenish your cronies' +2 weaponry at any time, and her more customary +2 spear is intact. Maybe it was because she subconsciously avoided the damage of the spear, or maybe it was due to the apostle's unique luck blessing, and even she couldn't tell why she suddenly decided to use the one-handed longsword instead.

Why is Matthew here?

"My companions have to come and break through. Matthew scratched his head and replied helplessly.

The three girls had a picture of the "Witch Sigh" in their minds, and the four team members rushed to the death zone with high morale, and in the end, only the captain who was powerless to stop was still alive.

If those four teammates died, it would be fine, but the problem is that since Matthew knows the answers to the two riddles but is still stuck here, I'm afraid that all of his companions are trapped. I can't even die back in the entrance.

Matthew saluted respectfully: "As you might expect, we need your help. ”

In fact, Matthew did not reach the deepest part of the death zone, and when he was the only one left in the group, he decisively retreated to the caryatidatik golem and waited for the arrival of the adventurers who followed. Luckily, I didn't have to wait long.

Matthew was about to show you the way, when a few brooms and a few pinches of dust drifted through the shadows.

It is a constant 1-ring arcane "invisible minion". A completely transparent, harmless, sapient, weightless humanoid that can complete the caster's simple commands. They have very little force and are often used for cleaning and carrying light items.

They swept away the debris of the magic swords on the ground and scattered a uniform layer of dust on the ground again, finally taking a pair of shoes and imprinting a few trails of footprints.

"Huh, that's a bad idea!" Annette was stunned, "I wouldn't have noticed that there were golem guards in such a setting!"

When you first pushed open the stone door, you saw a layer of dust and footprints, as if there had been no maintenance by the dungeon for a long time, and there had been no fighting. Experienced adventurers who specialize in pit observation skills.

"This caryatids can't be sold by the otaku mage, right?"

"Better than the otaku mage's technique. See, the scratches on the legs have begun to heal slowly. ”

"The main business of the otaku mage is to make traditional mainstream single golems such as stone golems and steel golems, and this kind of ancient golem that is out of the door, he is limited to what he can do. ”

As you might think, the Caryatids Golem is easy to be killed by prepared mages because of its fatal shortcomings, so there are basically no modern mages doing this kind of thing. It is also the main reason why you didn't buy it in the first place, it is expensive and easy to scrap suddenly.

There are so many things that the castle lord will meet...... How much did she learn?

Matthew guides you to turn right. The reason why "Witch's Sigh" decided to turn right in the first place was very simple, and the entire first layer of the map has been thoroughly discovered: there are three traps on the right side, one medium and two small, but there is a super large trap area on the left side, and a few lives are not enough.

Not far,

You follow Matthew's point and spot Serafino, a warrior in the back row. In the dim light of the constant fire, this girl is standing on top of the huge rolling stone with her arms raised and her arms up, closing her eyes and concentrating.

...... What is she doing?

At Serafino's feet is a giant cobblestone, and underneath the giant cobblestone is the Sword Mountain, which is in an inverted trapezoidal metal pit, and the pit wall automatically and continuously flows oil. Apparently the trap has been activated, and Serafino is still alive.

Annette greeted Serafino, who was indifferent. To be precise, the latter did not dare to move at all, barely maintaining the balance of the boulder and preventing it from rolling further.

When the "Witch's Sigh" arrives in this area, Matthew quickly solves two riddles, but to no avail of persuasion from his companions, he has to continue to move on, and sure enough, he encounters a trap.

Matthew was at the forefront, carefully detecting traps all the way, which was going well, but even if he accurately pointed out the location of the trap, it didn't mean that everyone would be able to avoid it. Ash, who was walking in the penultimate position, accidentally brushed a ray of light, and a terrifying rumbling sound suddenly came out in front of him.

Huge rolling stones are tied to metal spiked belts, and they are roaring!

A line of spears stabbed from the floor isolated the team. Matthew pounced with two of his teammates and narrowly avoided the Rolling Stones. Ash and Serafino, who were at the end of the inertia, were dumbfounded, turned around and ran back—there was only one way to live.

Unexpectedly, the road had turned into a slippery hole.

In this moment, the approach of the two made a decisive difference.

Serafino threw his shield against the wall on the side, activating the trap that looked like a fly swatter, dodging the blow, bouncing on the iron, and finally grabbing the sword stuck in the wall and hanging it high in the air. Ash rode the leopard and made a magnificent jump! In terms of distance, he could definitely cross the big pit, so she and the leopard were both slapped down by the giant fly swatter.

There were countless metal spikes below, the leopard died on the spot, teleported back to the entrance, the falcon circled in vain, Ash reacted quickly, turned himself into a python, and accurately twisted his body and fell between the gaps in the sword mountain.

Escape and die, but it's not as good as dying.

Rolling Stone to,

Rolling stones,

Smashes into Serafino, which is hanging on the side wall, and crushes directly above Ash, and the situation is in front of you—Ash is caught in the crooked metal spikes, completely unable to move. Serafino was lucky enough to land on the Rolling Stones, but just the slightest loss of balance would make Ash suffer even more. In desperation, Serafino has maintained the posture of holding his breath independently for more than an hour.

The leg hasn't broken yet.

Ash can't move, and Serafino can't move, it's worse than dying back in the entrance.

"But even if we try to figure it out...... There are spikes underneath, the walls of the pit are full of oil, and the boulders are too heavy to float with spells. ”

"I could go down, but I was too heavy to lift. ”

"If you use the staff's "Stoneblast" to destroy the Rolling Stone little by little, both Serafino and Ash will be severely injured by the flying rubble. ”

The three women were at a loss.

If this giant cobblestone can really be solved, Matthew will be so worried. Melanie has a lot of strength, but she can't lift the boulder, it has nothing to do with the weight, just like a strong man can lift his girlfriend with one hand but can't lift it with one hand, mainly because he can't do it. Alyssa suggested that the only way to break the stone with her weapon was to break the stone little by little, no different from digging a mountain. Annette didn't think she could lift such a large rock with "telepathic control".

You cast 5 rings of "Fossil to Mud" on the Boulder.

Serafino was carried by Melanie and flew back. A python covered in mud and oil also climbed up in frustration and turned back into Ash with his head down.

Okay, who's next?

"Uh...... It's Sain. ”

Matthew let the two companions rest in place and continue to lead the way.

"Ah, by the way, President, it is said that the document appointing me as the lord of the pioneer village is already on the way, and it will be announced tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, including the title. Matthew said to you, "Please take care of me in the future." ”

Care?

Because it's a neighboring village?

"I'm not a lord at all, and I know that, so whatever the name, my little baron and my little pioneer village would like to be brought under your command. You won't be disgusted, will you?"

"And I don't really like the scheming and ruthless man like Kyle Jr. When it comes to the big names who deserve respect, you have to be. ”

Explicit sycophants. Usually Matthew doesn't have this style of painting, probably after thinking a lot about it, he decided to entrust his territory to you.

After all, Matthew has been working in the ancient city market for several years, and I'm afraid he has heard too many negative comments about Little Kyle, and this time the development of the village was understated by Little Kyle as a pawn in the palm of his hand, and it is normal that he doesn't have a good feeling. In the final analysis, a man who is not close to women is not the same person at all as a man who is not close to women.

In the midst of the imminent turmoil, Matthew knew that he was about to become a pawn in Kyle's ambitions, and he was powerless to struggle. Even if little Kyle is not mentioned, it is impossible for Matthew to balance people's livelihood, administration and security in the midst of turmoil and protect the pioneer village. The barons in the kingdom are not much different from the commoners of the nouveau riche, they are so powerless.

But if it depends on you, all the problems will be solved.

Kyle Jr. will never quarrel with you over such a thing, Melanie's methods of governing the territory are clear and efficient, and you are forming a new army.

Matthew's loss?

He's still a lord, he's still a baron, but he's happily withdrawn from all sorts of spies.

Your loss?

It doesn't seem to be either. Three hundred soldiers, in fact, your labyrinth town can't accommodate it at all, and you can't afford all kinds of supplies other than gold coins. And he can also play a role in the grand plan of Kyle Jr. to buy the entire kingdom.

How are you going to respond to Matthew?

A, refuse. Everyone is in their own way, friendly and neighborly, and maintains only half a level of relationship between the president and the adventurer, the viscount and the baron.

B, Accept. In the future, the village will be the lower part of the labyrinth town, and yours will be the upper town, which will be connected by trains and new roads. The military camp was built in between, and the supplies from the two places were eaten, so that the pressure on raising soldiers was less.

Sooner or later, the two realms will merge into a new town, regardless of each other. Your relationship with Matthew is likely to become that of the Viscount of Bolts and the Marquis, although the title is not directly subordinate, but one of the parties in the employment relationship is a wage earner. Matthew, don't try to hide.

D, procrastination. You'll need to talk to Kyle Jr. first to see what roles you and Matthew each play in the plan, so don't mess with the big plan.

"Please be careful, there are a lot of monsters ahead. ”

Matthew's direction was similar to the guardhouse guarded by the orcs before. Half-cut stone pillars, tall walls, ceilings extending from walls, potholes and bunkers are complex, and there are no orcs here, instead of terrifying armor patrolling with swords, shields, bows, and crossbows, which is a tricky type in the Golem-related series, although not very strong.

Four gargoyles suddenly flew down from above!

Melanie flies up and kicks one of them aside, you shoot down one with a swing of the hammer, and the other two crash into Alyssa's shield, staring at Matthew as he dodges sideways.

Due to the nature of magic, gargoyles' skin is much harder than normal stones, and Melanie's attacks don't do any damage, and you and Alyssa's attacks have little effect. Golems are expensive for a reason, and there is no possibility of destroying them easily.

With a heavy body, he flapped his bat-like wings and flew easily, and his movements were also very fast. They lurked above near the entrance to the guardhouse like watchdogs, and the sound of battle alarmed the terrifying armor stationed there, which was accompanied by a series of dense and continuous metal grinding sounds, as if well-trained soldiers immediately entered the combat position and shot arrows at you, and some of the terrifying armor jumped down from the city wall with a bang, holding their swords and shields and charging silently.

The red light in the gap of the helmet was like an abyss.

Melanie's blood vision didn't work, and based on night vision, he estimated that the enemy was about a dozen gargoyles, fifty or sixty terrifying armor, plus seven or eight steel golems. This is not a scale you can defeat, it is simply a garrison.

Matthew ran and shouted, "We've found a breakthrough before!"

You fend off the arrows and the gargoyles, and you go backwards trying to quickly break through the area. Since the Witch's Sigh was able to break through before, of course you can.

Soon, the Terror Armor stood in the doorway and stopped in pursuit. Although the gargoyles had no intention of giving up easily, as they pursued further and further and were more and more seriously injured, their fighting spirit gradually disappeared, and they turned around one after another and flew back to the guardhouse.

Maybe it's because even if you leave it alone, you'll die in the trap sooner or later, or maybe it's because of the garrison order that you can't stay away, but in short, you managed to get out of the war.

Matthew asks to follow in his footsteps and avoid the traps. Melanie could also make out some of the traps.

soon

You see Sain stuck in a trap.

The good-looking blonde boy was now hanging in mid-air, with a slender metal rod between his feet, a ray of light reflected in a mirror with his left hand, and a holy emblem pressed on the forehead of the human face relief with his right hand, and a rope in his mouth, above which was tied the tail feathers of Ash's Falcon, which was stuck between the gaps between the two stone pillars and almost turned into meat sauce, and had passed out.

This shape is sharper than just now. The weight of the young adult man wearing chain mail is all dragged on a falcon, since the falcon has not disappeared, it means that even if its tail is about to be dragged bald by ropes, and its body is about to be crushed by stone cracks, it is still alive?

Matthew lifted his forehead and didn't want to explain anything.

Obviously, if this little priest could move, he would not be hanging in the air like a king who was lifted by a rope.
