Chapter 179: The Minotaur Labyrinth

"This is the infamous Minotaur's underground labyrinth?"

The bald mage looked up, and they were surrounded by a stone wall of rocks that did not rise to the top, and it was pitch black that he couldn't see anything clearly, probably in line with the description of the Minotaur Labyrinth in the literature, and couldn't help but nod.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" Green asked, looking at him.

The bald mage glanced at the young lord and scoffed at his question, "What is there to be surprised about a building that appears to be a material world." โ€

"That being said, I'm not 100% sure," Green put his arms around the little fox, and Bermonstein was a typical mage, and he didn't bother to argue, "After all, the geographical location is not right, the Minotaur is underground on the outskirts of Crete, and it takes a month to ride the dragon from the Brilliant City, but just looking at the environment and mechanisms here, it is indeed the style of the Minotaur Labyrinth." โ€

Green didn't say anything, not just to see, but he had personally experienced the terrible labyrinth of riddles that could lead people to a nervous breakdown, and he even knew a little about its "allusions".

China up and down 5,000 years, the history is long, the text is broad and profound, the allusions mentioned here have nothing to do with mythology, perhaps it is the responsibility given by God, the Minotaur underground labyrinth lives up to the "expectations", it is really worthy of the name "Minotaur". Before the outbreak of the war between black and white, there used to be a pair of dogs...... Ahem, couples especially like to do something shameless in the game scene, but one day the male player's guild came out, and the female player was lonely and hooked up with the male player's friend. Considering that the underground maze is intricate and not easy to find, the two of them ran to the underground maze and lay on the wall, hmmmm, ah, I never thought that there was a player who was particularly fond of riddles at that time was attacking the maze, and it happened that the team hired was the male player's guild, and then ...... There is no then.

The exciting cuckold incident has been widely circulated, and even videos have been uploaded to the forum. It is said that later it was also crowned with something or something, but it indirectly enhanced the popularity of the underground labyrinth, and there were countless players and couples who came to admire it, in order to ensure the safety of the maze, some local tyrants paid to play the monster, and for a time the maze BOSS Minotaur was also hit by this. Green, of course, is not interested in other people's circles. He didn't prepare the cosplay emblem of Renmin University, but once he was also invited to escort the Minotaur to brush it, so he also studied the underground labyrinth.

But then again, he hadn't seen the minotaur until now, not even the muffled cow moo, and Green couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"You mean, it's a replica of the Funeral Society?"

"I'm more inclined to be true, there seems to be no reason for the Funeral Society to imitate a maze to come out, maybe it was some kind of teleportation circle triggered when it exploded?" Green makes a hypothesis.

The bald mage raised his hand without saying a word. A flash of flame flickered between his hands, then slowly vanished. He looked up grimly, "The effect of the mana suppressor is still there. In other words, the two of them are still under the stronghold of the funeral society.

Greene was silent.

Bemenstein stared at Green for a few seconds, as if something suddenly came to mind, but apparently he wasn't going to say it, and instead asked a question, "If this is really the Minotaur Labyrinth." Do you know how to leave? โ€

Green shrugged, "Of course." The Minotaur labyrinth is accessible on all sides, and the population is the exit, if you just want to leave, then go through the maze to answer questions, the difficulty is not too high. There is also a half-sentence at the end of this, and there are two easier ways to do it in the game. One is to drop the Hearthstone or tear back the city scroll - there is indeed a prop like zร i in reality, but it's a pity that it's not as popular as in the game, and the second is ......

"Answer?" Bemenstein worried, "I'm not good at solving puzzles, how sure are you?" โ€

"Do you mean solving riddles or escaping the maze?"

Bemenstein was stunned for a moment. "Does it make a difference?"

"It's not a big problem to solve the riddle, I still have some 'talent'," Green coughed lightly, covering up the embarrassment of bragging, "But the Minotaur Labyrinth is not a paradise for riddle lovers, we can't always comfortably guess the puzzle and solve it, not to mention the Minotaur wandering in the depths of the maze, the trap alone is very dangerous, I just deliberately said a wrong answer, and you can see it." โ€

The arrow just now is strictly a hint of the wrong answer, but it is clear that the designers of the maze do not care about the life of the answerer, and they are neither deliberately killing nor harmlessly giving you a red light and a beep. If you can dodge the arrow, you can dodge it, and if you can't, you will die.

"I'm in charge of security, how sure are you that you're going to leave if you're focused on solving the mystery?" The bald mage calmly mentioned yรฌ, in order to be able to get out of the predicament, he kept his attitude low enough.

Green hesitated, "Six, seven." โ€

Bermonstein slapped directly: "Do it." โ€

Green didn't dispute this, the memories he received when he lost consciousness made him a little concerned, and he didn't bother to care about the bald mage's commanding tone. The two men advance through the labyrinth, Green racking his brains to search for memories of the past, while Bemenstein prepares the Wizard's Touch in one hand and the Fireball in the other. There are many riddles in the Minotaur labyrinth, which is a brain disaster for most people, but Green is obviously not the "majority", most of the riddles are dissipated under Green's "wisdom", and occasional mistakes are easily broken by Bermonstein.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Milge, are you sure? โ€

The not-so-long road to cracking is coming to an end, and the two of them are standing in front of a different wall at the moment, answering an inexplicable question.

Green licked his lips, unanswered the bald mage's question. The question in front of me - "I am a son, my son is a grandson, my grandson is myself" is really a little puzzling, Green has tried twice in a row and failed to solve it, the first time the floor was opened and closed, Bemenstein already had some experience and directly dragged Green back, but the second punishment became a siege crossbow attack, in a hurry, Bermonstein was broken three magic shields in a row, and finally almost pierced the bald mage, thanks to Green's sacrifice to save him, with the ability to reduce the physical damage of the gray body by 30%, it is conceivable. This time, if they answer incorrectly again, what kind of "prompting" will the two of them suffer.

"Could it be a puppet?" The puzzle solving along the way made Bemenstein amazed by the young man's intelligence, coupled with the rescue just now, his attitude towards Green involuntarily softened, and he took the initiative to help him guess the answer, "If it is an industrial puppet, what if the new puppet is understood as its 'son'?" The puppets of the new zuรฒ are still the same model. It is equivalent to itself. โ€

Green thought about it for a moment, but finally shook his head. While this is a good idea, it is obviously a bit far-fetched, and the riddles of the Minotaur Labyrinth are often very straightforward.

"I am a son and a grandson, and I am my father? What the hell......" Bermonstein was obviously completely impatient, and couldn't help but curse.

But Green next to him suddenly looked up.

"What did you just say?"

The bald mage was stunned, "Hell." โ€

"No, the previous sentence."

"A son is a grandson."

"No, no, one more sentence."

Bemenstein recalled. "Hmm...... 'I'm my own father'?"

"By the way, this is it!" Green's eyes lit up suddenly, he was his father! He remembered that there was a very strange theory before crossing over, about the three of the four famous Chinese novels, someone after a series of ethical relationships, summed up that Yuan Shu is everyone's father, although this is pure nonsense, but it did inspire Green.

If the puzzle is not a thing. But what about a person who actually exists?

More appropriately, a very famous and extraordinary person?

Even...... A god?

"I see! It's the evil god Avata! โ€

Green excitedly shouted the answer. Bemonstein didn't have time to stop it, and hurriedly threw out the spell barrier to prevent the attack, but this time the error prompt did not come, but the special wall rumbled upward, and the bald mage woke up to realize that Green actually answered correctly!

"You got it right! My Hull. How is this possible? You were talking about the evil god Avata? He has no heirs, how can he be his own son or even grandson? Bermonstein was dumbfounded, and his curiosity as a mage prompted him to ask urgently, even inadvertently saying something extremely important.

Green was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly covered it up. He explained to Bemenstein, "I think you should know that among the kings of the Golden Dome, there is no place for the three evil gods. โ€

The bald mage nodded, "They are a trinity, and they are all counted as one golden dome." โ€

"Exactly, but in addition to this factor, there is another reason: the three evil gods each have their own process of apotheosis, because they are not the first primordial beings inspired by Luna, but the creation of Luna, the golden beings."

"The earliest is the primeval gold creature Eresa, and the latest is the medieval gold Avata, what does this have to do with the riddle?" Although the knowledge is a little obscure, it is obviously difficult for the mage, and the only thing worth frowning is the connection between them, "Still, why are you sure that the mystery is Avata?" โ€

"Because of Avata's experience of becoming an evil god." Green said as he walked forward, "I don't know if you know that Avata in history is still a king?" โ€

Bermonstein nodded.

"In fact, he's also a brilliant wizard with a lot of weird dark magic at his disposal."

"Indeed," Bermonstein casually said to corroborate it, apparently by no ordinary knowledge, "it is rumored that he has mastered soul sorcery, is able to escape from the physical body and travel in the spirit realm and other sub-planes, and is even able to seize the will of others and forcibly occupy the body. โ€

"Looks like you're just not good at solving puzzles," Green smiled, and said in disguise, "As you said, Avatar is skilled in soul sorcery, so he has a unique ability compared to other kings - immortality. โ€

"Immortality?" Bermonstein frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly startled, "You mean historians' skepticism ......!?" โ€

"As a king, the common problem is to want to live forever, as a wizard, the difference between Avatar and them is that the vision is different, ordinary kings only want to extend their life and live as much as possible, while Avata thinks that as long as the soul remains immortal, it is immortal, but obviously, he is greedy for wealth and beauty, and is unwilling to transform into the form of a lich, so he found a solution - to take away."

"It's not so easy to seize other people's bodies, and the strength of the will of both parties determines the success rate when forcibly seizing it, which is unpredictable and extremely dangerous, not to mention that he still has to control the power after seizing it, and it is impossible to find someone to plunder casually, so the selection of people appeared in order."

"His son, heir to the kingdom." Bermonstein squinted his eyes and took over, and the riddle was finally solved.

"That's right, the first attempt at Avata was successful, so he intensified his efforts, and when his son's body was about to die, he took possession of his grandson's body, and so on, and so on, it seemed as if the kingdom was running normally, but in fact he was always ruled by Avata, so he himself was both his own son and his own grandson." Green opened his mouth to explain the riddle clearly, and he also thought of this guy's glorious deeds in his heart. The evil god Avata, before becoming a god, the kingdom went through a total of twenty-three kings, twenty-two of which were his descendants but were occupied by his annihilated souls, and the players who carried out the epic collection task jokingly called him a pit maniac, saying that the reason why he was able to become an evil god was really because of the lack of virtue and lack of grandma's house, but then again, occupying the body of his son and daughter-in-law, well, hey, don't be scolded, and it's not in vain......

Wait, something weird just got in?

"I see, I really didn't expect the mystery to come from like this." Bemenstein nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Green with a slight look in his eyes, "But how did you come up with that?" โ€

"Ronano is blessed." Green smiled and covered it casually. While the two of them were talking, they continued to move forward, and in a few steps, they had already reached the end of the dim pathway. This time it wasn't a wall that stood in front of them, but a solid stone gate flanked by small sphinxes, and Green thought he had run into Ramassou again.

"This is the exit?" Bermonstein glanced at the statue and turned back to ask Green. Green nodded, this was the entrance to the Minotaur Labyrinth and the only way out of it. He stepped forward, and by the light of the bald mage's raised hand, he could see a line of riddles carved into the stone door.

Green smiled slightly, and sure enough, it was just like a memory.

Four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening. This is the most well-known Western-style riddle, and placing it at the entrance of the maze also indicates the beginning of the puzzle, but for the Grimms, this is the last puzzle.

"People." Green confidently gave the answer.

There was a rumbling sound, the heavy stone door slamming open, and Green triumphantly looked back at Bermonstein, who couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The exit is just around the corner.

But when the stone gate was fully opened, Green, who turned his head, was suddenly stunned. The bald mage came over from behind, wondering why the young man named Milg had stopped, and when he looked up, he was speechless in astonishment.

What they see in front of them is not a path to leave, but a labyrinth that is exactly the same as the current environment.

"What's going on?" Bermonstein stared at Green and asked.

Green was also confused, he cautiously stepped forward, slowly swept around the newly appeared maze in front of him, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, "Here...... It seems like another Minotaur labyrinth! โ€

"Another?" The bald mage walked over and looked back and forth, but judging from the walls and floor, it was indeed the same as the maze just now.

Green gasped, he thought of more, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that there were countless Minotaur labyrinths here, all connected like this? Wouldn't that never get out?

So involuntarily, Green thought of the two ways to get out of the labyrinth.

Teleportation is a thought, the most basic translation techniques are all five-ring spells, even if Bemenstein's strength is strong before, it will not help. So there's only one way left......

Do you really want me to go back to the city? (To be continued......)
