Generally speaking, the so-called assistant may have two meanings: one is a powerful helper who can really assist the principal in his work; The other is more of a nominal auxiliary, but in reality it is a surveillance, even a surveillance.

Considering the close isolation of the Minotaur from alchemy, the fact that the Minotaur is now asking the Torch Prophet to send him an assistant should give the "Crucible Tribe" a position similar to that of an "Overseer", so that the Minotaur can always keep track of the progress of the enchantment. Of course, having such a tribesman by his side also facilitates the communication between Moriarty and the Minotaur and avoids some unnecessary trouble.

"Very well, I'll assign you an assistant." Jolob's mind flowed, and he was also very satisfied with the "intimate" mention of the human mage, and then looked around at the surrounding people, and suddenly pointed to Dardanion, who was still ignorant: "You will be his assistant." ”

"Me?"

As if struck by a bolt of lightning, Dardanion looked at the old minotaur with disbelief in his eyes.

Just kidding, I still want to fight with that guy again, but now I am being named by Master Qiu Luobu to be a "follower" to others, is this the rhythm of packing and giving gifts?

"Yes, that's you." Ignoring Dardanion's innocent gaze, the old minotaur mended his sword again: "Remember, if a human mage has any orders, you must carry them out. This is a major matter related to the honor of the tribe and enchantment, and it must not be overlooked, understand? ”

“… Yes..."

Dardanion no longer wanted to resist, but he did not dare to disobey the words of the Torch Prophet, so he had to bow his head and admit it.

"Mr. Moriarty. As for the furnace room, I will arrange a furnace with the most stable fire power for you, although rest assured. The old minotaur is also an expert, and understands that alchemy is like a friendship, not that the ferocity of the moment can get things done, but more value the steady, average, and durable "fire play", and this is especially true when choosing the smelting furnace fire.

"Yes, thank you very much."

All the requests made were fully met by the other party, and Moriarty smiled with satisfaction.

Next, under the guidance of the old minotaur. He descended through the passage in the center of the summit platform into the interior of the Forge Hill. And as an introducer of the Tartar Tower. But he was far from qualified to enter the tribal core of the Minotaur, so he could only return to the caveman village at the bottom of the mountain with a sad heart.

"What about Master Moriarty?" Seeing that only the Tartar Elder had returned alone, Pokke immediately stepped forward and asked.

"I've been left on it as a VIP." Glancing at the caveman youth, Tartar sighed.

"What!?" Pokos immediately let out a low sigh.

Just for a moment. Master Moriarty also "conquered" those rude and arrogant "bull heads"? It's amazing. Too efficient, right?

"What are you yelling about!"

The Tartar is in a bad mood, too. Hearing this noise, he lowered his face and scolded, and then ignored the young caveman with a strange expression. Walked away on its own. It's just that, anyway, the "+1 Sharp Attribute" dagger is in hand, and the Tartar doesn't have much reason to complain. After thinking about it for a while, the old caveman was in a better mood again.

In the Furnace Hill, Moriarty followed the old minotaur step by step, unconsciously going deeper than a hundred meters. In other words, he is now actually back at the level of the Little Plains, and even below.

The Minotaur deserves the nickname "Labyrinth".

Along the way, Moriarty saw that the hills had actually been excavated by the Minotaur tribe. Among them, there are endless tunnels that twist and turn, countless stone chambers are connected by size, and there are many ingenious ideas and unique designs, which make people feel nothing at first glance, and only when they really pass through are they suddenly and even breathtaking.

For example, to get to a downward passage, you must first enter a row of stairs that go straight up; Another example is that there are four or five tunnels in front of you, but none of them are the right paths, but there is a hidden secret door in one of the holes in the middle of these tunnels. In addition to these exquisite arrangements, there are also some other camouflages, secret doors, and mechanisms that abound, and mysteries are hidden.

Of course, Moriarty believed that the passages that the old minotaur took him must have been just ordinary routes for everyday use. As for those top-secret passages or strategic tunnels, the other party will never reveal them so lightly.

But even so, as he descended the way down, Moriarty could only barely memorize the main passages and stone houses he had walked. And this was achieved with the obvious connivance of the Torch Prophet. If you are a complete outsider, with no one to lead you, and you just walk around on your own, I am afraid that you will not be completely lost in this super labyrinth that the Minotaur spent more than a hundred years and several generations to build. Even if you go a little deeper, you may not be able to return it easily and safely.

Thinking about it this way, the dark elves of the "Fallen Stars" can tolerate this minotaur tribe at ease, and there should be a large and difficult to conquer labyrinth.

After descending about one hundred and fifty meters of vertical from the top of the hill, the Torch Prophet stopped in front of a sweltering stone house. Although there are stairs that snake down in front of you, it is the core guardian area of the Minotaur, which is really inconvenient and does not allow the existence of other tribesmen to enter.

"There are a lot of ground fire exits in a row of stone chambers here, and the furnaces are of good quality, so you can pick one at will. It's just that the temperature is not low, I don't know if you can adapt to it. ”

Jolob demonstratively pushed open the door of a stone house, and immediately a wave of hot heat rushed out, accompanied by white steam that could almost steam food. But for these, whether it is Jolob or Dardanion, who has been following without saying a word, they are all unaware.

Moriarty, however, felt the blazing heat on his face, but nodded in satisfaction.

This is indeed a pure natural smelting treasure! To form such a high-temperature hot furnace on the ground, I don't know how much coal and firewood it will take, but it is inevitable that the fire quality is impure and even contains impurities and particles. It's as pure and clean as the mouth of the earth fire furnace, and it's the best place to refine large metal equipment.

Seeing that the human mage only smiled with satisfaction, but did not show any discomfort or fear, the Torch Prophet nodded appreciatively, while Dardanion was secretly sighing in his heart.

"This is it."

After glancing around, Moriarty did not examine them all, but directly ordered a stone room, and the reason for this was that the stone house he chose was the innermost place, in other words, the most secluded and least disturbed place.

"No problem, it's yours now." Immediately, the Torch Prophet agreed to the choice of a human mage.

"Alright, now that you've chosen the stove, it's up to you to make your own arrangements. Whatever is needed, you can tell Dardanion. As for the three things, I sent for them. As for the special materials required for enchantment, you can make a list for me, or tomorrow I will take you around the tribe's warehouse, and you can choose directly..."

Then the old minotaur took care of some precautions and ordered Dardanion to "work hard" before leaving. Watching the Torch Prophet disappear at the far end of the passage, d'Artagnan felt that he was a discarded calf, and now he was still being "played" with by a surface human.

"Again, my name is Moriarty, a human mage." Looking at the young minotaur's strange expression, Moriarty naturally understood the other party's psychological condition, so he took the initiative to approach him and smile at him.

"D'Artagnan." The young minotaur glanced down at the human mage, humming only by his own name, and then reluctant to say anything more.

"Do you want to fight me again?" Looking up at d'Artagnan for a moment, Moriarty said suddenly.

“… Be! ”

The minotaurs are all rectums, and they will not hide their hearts, so they admit it in a big way. However, d'Artagnan then remembered the strict command of the Torch Prophet, and had to add: "But the Prophet has asked me to be your assistant, so I will not fight you." ”

"It doesn't matter. How about Jolob telling you to do what I tell you to do, and I'll allow you to fight with me again? Right here, let's do it quickly? After the fight, whether you win or lose, don't mind anything. May I? Moriarty smiled again.

"What did you say?" d'Artagnan's eyes widened, the muscles of his muscular body "rustled", and his fists were clenched into sandbags.

"I said it." Moriarty nodded, his expression meticulous: "You can start at any time." ”

"You said it! Let's start now! ”

Since Moriarty said this, d'Artagnan, who was already mentally ready to move, could no longer bear it, and immediately threw a punch into the human mage's cheek. Now that the two are so close, it is the best distance to break the law of battle, and the minotaur certainly doesn't want to waste the opportunity to let the other party have time to release those nasty and obstructive magic puppets.

But in the end, d'Artagnan still knew how to measure, this punch had not been used with all his strength in the past, and he was also worried that if it really injured the human mage, the Torch Prophet would definitely pick off its calfskin. It's just that the Minotaur thinks that a light punch is no different from a heavy blow with a mallet by human standards. If the ordinary law office is to be brought to this place, I am afraid that it will not be directly blown out of the head, at least it will be half exploded.

However, d'Artagnan's punch like a storm passed, but in the next moment, it directly "pierced" Moriarty's forehead.

What's going on? Looking at the big fist that he had penetrated into the opponent's "head", the minotaur was stunned for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the human mage who was standing in place just now slowly dissipated like a phantom.

And behind d'Artagnan, a white lightning light lit up.

Instantly, a bolt of lightning fell, smashing directly on the top of the Minotaur's head. Immediately, d'Artagnan was "scorched on the outside and tender on the inside" by the electric ground, and there was a convulsion. And when he turned around with some difficulty, he saw a well-rounded Moriarty and ten red crystal gargoyles lined up.

"Continue?"

Moriarty waved his wand and smiled at d'Artagnan. (To be continued......)
