Chapter 256: The Core of the Labyrinth
Later that evening, the expeditionary force finally found an opportunity to infiltrate the room where the core of the labyrinth was hidden, and then a great battle awaited them.
Although the Great Demon Feren is not a battle-type demon, it had expected the Human Expeditionary Force to come, so it had arranged a large number of traps in that room!
However, under the siege of nearly 100 strong people, it was only the last struggle.
β¦β¦
July 20, fine.
The news of the expeditionary force's success in slaying the Great Demon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fernandi at a very fast speed, and the hearts of the people were immediately uplifted and everyone cheered.
However, the hidden worries behind this good news were naturally not announced.
Although the Great Demon Feren has been destroyed, the virus-like program it injected into the core of the Labyrinth is still running, and the riot in the Fire Labyrinth is still intensifying!
The Labyrinth of Fire without the key can't be restarted like the Labyrinth of Water, someone has to fix the core of the Labyrinth!
It is reported that the magician experts who entered the place where the core of the labyrinth was located with the expeditionary force began to study how to fix the core of the labyrinth after the great demon Feren was eliminated, but its progress was very slow, and they couldn't even stop the maze from continuing to riot!
Perhaps, over time, those magicians will eventually be able to purify and correct the core of the labyrinth, but that will take an extremely long time.
And if you really wait like that, the daylily will be cold......
Not to mention the huge economic losses caused by the failure of the fire labyrinth to open, let's just say that the continuation of the maze riot will sooner or later affect the three-headed dragon of the gatekeeper boss!
Once the three-headed dragon emerges from the labyrinth, Fernandi will most likely become the dust of history.
When this crisis was laid out, Fernandi's families held another emergency meeting, and finally had to put their hopes on "asking for foreign help".
"Asking for foreign help" is tantamount to telling Fernandi about the bad situation, which will inevitably lead to a series of bad consequences.
However, the situation has become so serious that it has to turn to the outside world for help.
Fernandi is an adventurous city, and the magic technology here is basically combat-related technology for the service of adventurers, and the magic technology related to combat is quite poor, and even the magic guidance teachers of Fastewin College are hired externally!
And since it was decided to "ask for foreign help", then Stanford, a professor of magic who is now traveling with Fernandi, has become the first choice!
"So, you want me to come forward and convince Stamford to take him into the core of the labyrinth myself?"
Rowan looked at the Countess of Safi and the Duke of Hammer, who had come to the tavern, and asked with his chin propped up.
The Countess of Safi turned her face slightly embarrassed, but the Duke of Hammer said with righteousness: "As said, we all know that you are the most powerful person in Fernandi, and you also have the spatial ability to travel through the labyrinth, and even have things in your hands that Professor Stamford covets!" As long as you're willing to make a move, Professor Stamford won't be able to refuse. And when the time comes, we will pay accordingly. β
"Hmm." Rowan asked, "What can you give?" β
Duke Hammer immediately said: "Money, power, women, as long as you want, you can get it." β
Rowan couldn't help crying and laughing: "Are there any things you said that I can't get them?" β
After a slight silence, Duke Hammer whispered, "If you help, I promise that from now on, no one will interfere with your estate!" β
"Is that so?" Rowan turned his pen and said, "That's a good condition, but I need an agreement. β
Duke Hammer said, "It's not difficult, at the second impromptu meeting tonight, I will have all the participants sign a magical contract." β
Rowan nodded and smiled: "Then, wait for your good news." β
β¦β¦
After Duke Hammer and Countess Safi had taken their leave, Rowan called the Princess's correspondence, asked her for Professor Stamford's coordinates, and then went into action.
In fact, even if Duke Hammer hadn't come to the door, Rowan would have found a way to solve the problem of the rebellion in the Fire Labyrinth.
If the problem of the labyrinth riot is not eliminated, Fernandi will not be able to enter the normal system for a day, and he will naturally not be able to live in peace if he is rooted in this land.
The reward promised by Duke Hammer was nothing more than a windfall.
Soon after, Rowan found Professor Stamford in the field.
This professor, who has stood at the apex of magic, is currently shooting an autobiographical film of a certain duke of the Bean Empire in the field, and he is fiddling with the camera tools while correcting mistakes loudly, which really has a bit of a director's flavor.
Rowan didn't ask him about the maze at the beginning, but first pointed out to him the problems that he needed to pay attention to during the shooting.
Taking this as a starting point, the two became more and more familiar, and Rowan mentioned the maze in passing, and then-Professor Stanford actually took the initiative to ask for help!
Rowan had been brewing for most of the day, and his request was stillborn.
However, from Professor Stamford's point of view, it was a very fortunate thing to have the opportunity to study the core of the labyrinth, and he had no reason to refuse it.
So, after making an appointment for the next morning's action, the two left separately.
That night, the families signed a magical pact not to interfere with Rowan's industry, and Rowan informed them that "Stamford had agreed".
The next day, July 21, it was drizzling in the sky.
Rowan took Professor Stanford into the Labyrinth of Fire, and the adventurer Doudou, who incarnated as the [Invincible Assassin], also followed, and the three of them went deep into the Labyrinth of Fire in less than half a day and came to the core of the Labyrinth.
After arriving at his destination, Rowan also brought a large amount of supplies to the expeditionary force.
It was also at this moment that Rowan finally saw the core of the labyrinth with his own eyesβthe core of the labyrinth was a huge eyeball from the outside, even bigger than the eyes of the Fish Snake Demon and the Frost Dragon!
The eyeball floated silently in the air, its outer layer floating with a faint firelight, but its eyes were bloodshot, like the eyes of a person after an all-night night.
Several magicians are working on the core of the labyrinth, but everyone is frowning, apparently with limited progress.
And Professor Stamford's arrival was like a booster, instantly reinvigorating the magicians.
"Is this the core of the labyrinth?"
Professor Stanford's eyes lit up with excitement and he quickly joined the study.
"Look like this...... Don't seem to need the help of the animatronics? β
After observing for a while, Rowan asked the electronic elf hidden in his breast pocket in a low voice, "What do you think?" β
The electronic elf also whispered: "Very powerful technology, the core of this maze is undoubtedly the core of the maze system, its tentacles are all over the maze, so that it can control the changes of the entire maze, and its intelligence level is also quite high, but it should not have a particularly strong logic system and self-learning ability." β
Rowan whispered again, "So, can you find a way to control it?" β
The animatronic sprite wondered, "Why control it?" β
Rowan continued to lower his voice: "Don't you think it's interesting? It can control the entire labyrinth, which means that it can transmit information to all corners of the labyrinth, and if it can be controlled, the fire labyrinth will have no secrets in front of us. If you can move it out of the maze, it will be a more powerful host than the Adventure League's system host! We were even able to use it as a host to lay out a LAN throughout Fernandi! Any idea what that means? β
The electronic elf instinctively replied, "It means the advent of the Internet age?" β
Luo Wen nodded slightly: "When I first came to this Otherworld, I always thought that the technology here was very low. But now it seems that this is not the case, whether it is the mission system host of the Adventure Alliance, or the cores of this labyrinth, they are all very advanced magic technology. Even, this high-level magic technology should have existed thousands of years ago! I don't know what kind of era these civilizations will eventually fall through. β
β¦β¦
After another half an hour of observation, Rowan left the room where the Labyrinth Core was located with the Cyber Elf and Doudou, and returned to the surface before evening.
He didn't end up with the idea of the Labyrinth Core of the Fire Labyrinth, but that was only because the Labyrinth Core of the Fire Labyrinth didn't meet his needs.
The Labyrinth Core of the Labyrinth of Fire is of the fire nature, and its energy nature itself has a manic factor, which is not suitable to act as a host of a local area network.
According to the normal way of thinking, Rowan believes that the core of the labyrinth of the phantom maze should be the best choice, if the core of the labyrinth of the phantom maze can be taken out, then not only can the information network spread throughout Fernandi, but also can be based on the power of the maze to create a virtual reality type of virtual network!
However, this is only a preliminary idea.
In fact, the core of the labyrinth is the core of the labyrinth, and it is a heart-like existence, and it is impossible to take it out of the labyrinth, so it doesn't matter what the idea is later.
But after returning to the tavern, Rowan touched the scene, but he remembered another thing.
"Speaking of which, isn't the labyrinthine power of the Water Labyrinth leaking out, and it has also formed a Moon Lake outside the East City?"
More than two months ago, he relied on Moon Lake to fight a perfect turnaround, and it was naturally impossible to forget it.
"In that case, as long as the reason can be discovered, wouldn't it be applied to the labyrinth of illusion? We don't need to move the core of the labyrinth out of the labyrinth, we just need to channel the power of the labyrinth......"
Of course, the above ideas are just ideas, and now the eight characters have not been skimmed, and the animatronic elves have not even carefully studied the core of the labyrinth, let alone controlled it.
And there is still a lot to do now, and Rowan will not shift his attention to the core of the labyrinth for the time being.
If the Digital Alliance had been successfully established, he might have thought carefully about the feasibility of the idea.
β¦β¦
It's eleven o'clock tonight, exactly an hour before midnight.
The Rowan family gathered in the courtyard of the misty world, and everyone was slightly excited.
After 263 hours, the long-awaited eleven consecutive draws have finally arrived!
From the early morning of July 11 to the time when the excavator was summoned, a total of eleven days have passed, and there is still an hour left, and Rowan has not performed the summoning of the miracle of time for ten nights.
The anticipation that used to be paralyzed when I smoked every day is finally back, and it is stronger than ever!
The number of summons accumulated from after midnight on July 12 will be ten after midnight today, but the interest on the savings will only be received in the last hour of the day.
In front of everyone, Rowan started the grand summoning with a little excitement!
As rune cards flew into the sky, mysterious rune light illuminated the courtyard at night, and black vortices gradually took shape surrounded by rune cards.
There was a loud thunderclap, and the first summon was summoned!
Rowan endured the eagerness to check it out immediately, and then made a second summon, then a third, then a fourth...... All the way to the eleventh time!
One by one, summons emerged from the black vortex, and then formed a line in midair.
Looking at the eleven summons wrapped in the aperture, Rowan couldn't wait.
"These eleven consecutive summons should always be able to summon a small superlative, right?" Rowan couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Qin Ying's eyes rolled and chuckled, "Only one?" It's the first time I've ever known that the boss is such an easily satisfying person? β
Rowan rolled his eyes: "Do I look greedy?" β
Qin Ying just didn't say anything.
Rowan turned his head, took out his magnifying glass, and then looked at the summons again: "Which one to start with?" β
Although the quality of the summon depends on the degree and direction of the magic change, the usefulness of the summon itself will still slightly affect the direction of the magic change, so the appearance still has a reference.
Rowan swept from the beginning, the first to the last summon, a paper clip, a blanket, a pebble, a dart, a hoe, a whip, a water gun, a chaise longue, a figure figure, one, one
