Chapter 21: The Demon King, the Labyrinth and the Adventurer

In front of a simple temple, a young girl dressed in a simple linen robe and brandishing a hoe cultivated a small plot of land in front of the temple.

A simple linen robe, long golden hair tied back her head, dressed like an ordinary village girl, but the girl's beauty and unusually plump figure could not be concealed by the simple linen robe - if she was really just an ordinary peasant girl, it is estimated that she would have been snatched away by a passing dragon or nobleman and brought back to be a bride.

The village girl cultivates the land diligently.

Just then, a paladin walked in and stood outside the land, waiting respectfully there.

After ploughing the land and pouring fertilizer on it, the village girl came out of the field and washed her hands in the canal next to it.

"Did something happen?" The girl asked calmly.

"Under the crown, there has been a large-scale migration of monsters in the Endless Labyrinth, and a large number of high-level monsters have suddenly appeared in the low-level labyrinth." The paladin spoke respectfully.

Hearing the paladin's words, a light flashed in the girl's eyes.

After a few seconds, the girl frowned, "The witch is active again." ”

"Witch?" The paladin's face was full of confusion.

"The Blood Witch who was driven into the depths of the labyrinth."

Hearing the girl's words, the paladin took a breath of cold air: "Your Majesty, do you mean...... Blood Witch? She's not dead yet? ”

"That's a demigod. As long as she doesn't want to die, it's not so easy to die. The girl paused, "Has anything strange happened on the main plane lately?" ”

"Some time ago, there was a strong fluctuation in the Endless Wilderness. Investigation revealed the appearance of a linear spatial collapse zone there. ”

The expression on the girl's face was a little heavy: "The instability of the main plane has ...... Is it so serious? ”

"Your Majesty, please don't worry. The Endless Wilderness is inherently the most unstable area of space, so ...... Someday, we'll be able to clean up the labyrinth once and for all! Restore stability to the world! ”

The girl nodded slightly, but the worry on her face did not disappear: "Aside from the collapse of the space in the Endless Wilderness, is there anything special that happens?" ”

"No...... Oh! By the way, something happened in the Labyrinth of Trials yesterday. I don't know what's going on, but after the people who participated in the trial came out, the trial maze was not reset. Later, the guard felt that something was wrong, so he went in to take a look, but as soon as he entered, he was immediately besieged by his own clones and many monsters. ”

"Is he alright?"

"It's fine. With the Adventure Bracelet, a life was saved. After he escaped, the trial maze returned to normal. ”

"Hmm...... It's okay. Have you found the cause of the abnormality in the Labyrinth of Trials? ”

"Scholars believe that it may be because the instability of the world has affected the labyrinth, causing the reset time of the maze to become unstable."

The girl was silent for a while: "No! The Labyrinth of Trials is very stable and has not changed. ”

The paladin showed a hint of astonishment on his face: "You mean?" ”

"There was no problem with the maze. You can investigate the person who entered the maze before and see if he knows anything. ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go down."

"Yes!" The paladin took a few steps back, then turned and left.

The girl sat beside the field, stunned, and seemed to be looking into the distance.

……

"In other words, this girl wants to team up with us to go down the maze?" In the tavern, Green looks at a silver-haired Lori with disgust.

Silver-haired Lori: "The steak you're eating right now is my treat." ”

Greene: "Warm welcome Miss Vestie!" ”

"Ahaha~" Looking at Green's undisciplined behavior, Natalie couldn't help but laugh.

After a pleasant breakfast, the trio left the hotel with their luggage and went to the Adventure Guild to register with the squad and purchase some of the necessary items for the adventure.

The entrance to the Endless Labyrinth is in the small temple opposite the Adventure Guild.

After showing the adventurer's bracelet on his wrist to the guards guarding the entrance to the labyrinth, Green approached the gate.

After walking into the labyrinth, Grimm was greeted by a huge square!

In the center of the bluestone-paved square is a fountain whose clear water sparkles in the sunlight.

There are a lot of adventurers in the square. Some adventurers chatted beside the square, others wandered around the shops, and there were many guards standing around the square.

It's a city!

A city for adventurers!

"Let's go, Green, let's go get you a set of gear first." Natalie beckoned to Green.

Green turned his head blankly and looked at the red-haired girl, "Here...... Isn't it a labyrinth? ”

"Hey, hey, hey~ Scared, right? I was also shocked when I first came in. I didn't expect there to be so many adventurers here. Natalie paused, "Welcome to the Endless Labyrinth." This is the first floor of the Endless Labyrinth, the "Home of the Adventurer". ”

"Here...... It's an endless labyrinth. Green looked around curiously, "So this is the so-called supply point?" ”

"Supply points?" Silver-haired Lori's eyes lit up, "What an apt way to call it." ”

"There is no Labyrinth Lord in the Endless Labyrinth, and if you want to leave the Endless Labyrinth, you can only spend money to walk through the Church's Earth Gate or smash the adventurer's bracelet, so most adventurers choose to rest here." Natalie explained.

And at this moment, there seemed to be some commotion in the square.

"It's an expedition."

"The expedition is back."

"Huh? Didn't they go on an expedition to the thirty-nine layers of the labyrinth? Why did you come back so soon? ”

"Don't you know? I heard that there was a riot in the monsters in the high-level maze, and a large number of high-level monsters poured into the low-level maze. So the expedition was urgently terminated. ”

……

Accompanied by the sound of people's discussions, a team ...... No, an army walked into the square.

It was a very strong army. Sophisticated equipment, armored unicorn mounts, and military flags composed of swords, shields and thorns symbolize their indomitable will!

At the head of the line was a female knight in silver armor with a flag spear. Under the half-covered helmet, a strand of blonde hair moved in the wind, and there was an indescribable heroism on the delicate face.

All the knights wore luxurious full-body magic armor, and even the mounts wore sturdy full-body magic armor, and each knight's mounts and equipment would be enough to buy a small city if they were brought to the main plane! But here, with such a luxuriously equipped team, there are hundreds of people!

"Local tyrants!" Green couldn't help but sigh, "So rich, and still come to be an adventurer? I always thought adventurers were poor like me. ”

"Hahaha~ Don't think so much. Come with me and buy equipment items. Natalie laughed and pulled Green away.

Natalie took Green and walked into a weapons shop next to the square.

It was a weapons shop, and it was a halfling looking at it.

"The pile of small silver coins in the corner of the wall, the ones hanging on the wall look at the price for themselves." The halfling boss sat lazily behind the counter, without the slightest thought of getting up to greet the guests.

"Like a small silver coin?" Green looked at the pile of weapons and equipment in the corner, "So cheap? ”

In Green's opinion, a small silver coin is about the same as ten dollars on earth, and it is not even enough to eat a slightly decent meal in a restaurant! Such a price is clearly not enough to buy a weapon in an industrially underdeveloped place.

"The food in the restaurant can be eaten in the stomach, but the things here can only be used in the maze, and cannot be taken out of the maze." Natalie glanced at the weapons and equipment on the walls, and finally turned her gaze to the pile of things on the ground, "Let's go, let's go pick out a set of equipment." ”

The corners were cluttered, and most of them were in tatters.

"It's really cheap and not good." Green couldn't help but sigh.

"As long as it works. Really good gear has to be obtained from the maze. ”

"Hmm...... Wait a minute. Isn't the team's equipment just now all maze items? ”

"That's right!" The red-haired girl was smiling as she picked out the equipment in the garbage heap, "There are endless materials and props in the labyrinth, and if you don't consider bringing them to the main plane, it's not impossible to get a super luxurious set of equipment even in the endless maze. ”
