Chapter 1205: Labyrinth Treasure

"Coincidentally," I said with a smile, "in terrestrial mythology, it was the gods of other races who warned the orc gods, and then, the human and elven assassins killed the Minotaur in the labyrinth, and the sea races, as well as the sea gods, were not mentioned at all. ”

The two looked at each other again.

Priest Bona did not rush to defend himself as he had at the beginning, but smiled noncommittally.

I said, "By the way, there are actually historical references to the sea races, but your identity is that you are the coolies who build the labyrinth. ”

The two looked at each other again, and Madrudin smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, some people, including turtle people, crocodile people, shark people, lobster people, crab people, and many other races, have been captured here to work as coolies. ”

"The lake, and the river that stretches to the foot of the mountain, was actually the one that transported the building stones," the priest Bona continued, "and the river was three times wider and three times deeper than it is now, and the lake was ten times larger than it is now......

I looked at the remains of the ancient buildings around me, and then at the water on the other side, which resembled a swampy wetland, and said, "I can see that some of the marine races even once lived here. ”

"Yes......" Maderudin was much more relieved, "There are many materials in the labyrinth that they dug out of the seabed, and they are very strong. ”

"In other words, the main body of the labyrinth is under the main peak of the mountain range," I couldn't help but nod and asked, "Is there a record of the specific construction process?" ”

"Then there is no ......," said the priest Bona, "in fact, the enslaved sea races were not allowed to go up the mountain, and they did not see the process of construction at all, except for transporting materials, they were responsible for providing food. ”

I was not so interested in the process of construction, so I did not go deeper, but turned to Madrudin: "You once said that the sea races could not enter the labyrinth, only the descendants of the Minotaurs, where did you get the news?" ”

Maderudin explained unhurriedly: "After the landers trapped on the island died, we once sent people, but we couldn't even open the door of the labyrinth, and then opened it with the help of the priests, but we got lost in the outer layer of the labyrinth, and later, we also arranged a lot of watchers around here, for fear that the land race would come back, but we didn't wait for a large-scale invasion of this scale, and only encountered some powerful individuals or squads, who used magic and other abilities to cross the sea to come here and enter the labyrinth, But only a few people can come out, and it is said that only the descendants of Minotaur can open the labyrinth, and this is how the news came. ”

"Oh, why did they say it?" I asked.

"After they came out, they were all caught by the masters who had laid an ambush, and in front of the majesty of the sea god, they would all confess." Priestess Bona's face showed a hint of confidence.

"I see." I nodded, "In other words, no one has ever gotten their hands on the treasure in it, right?" ”

"Yes." "Unless there's a very strong, well, more powerful Minotaur on land," he said, "unless there's a very strong, well, more powerful Minotaur than you." ”

"Well, not at the moment, but in two thousand years, who can say for sure?" I said, "Well, I have pretty much the answer to the question I want to ask......

The two of them looked relaxed for a while, and Maderudin said, "Are you going to start?" How can I help? ”

I said, "Honestly, it's a question of how exactly you get in, and how long can you live out of the water?" ”

Maderuding obviously didn't expect me to have such a plan, and hesitated: "We merfolk are not good at living off the water, and I have actually arranged some merfolk slaves and turtle and crab people who can go ashore......"

"And a helper?" I was a little surprised.

"It may be a little longer," said Madrudin, "I just had this idea in mind and arranged for the fish-man patrol, but I didn't expect you to come in less than a year, and the manpower may have to wait a little longer." ”

"No hurry," I said, "I haven't finished my question." ”

"If you have any questions, just ask." Maderuding is getting more and more relaxed.

"I'm a little curious, how you're doing," I said, "what have you been through since you left the sewers?" ”

Speaking of himself, Madrudin was a little hesitant, but he was quickly relieved, and said: "Everything is going well, I took this group of fish-man slaves to kill the krakens blocking the road, and before I reached the sea, the passage behind was destroyed by you, the krakens were very frightened, and even some suspected that I did it, and desperately pursued and killed me, fortunately, I had these fish-man slaves and fled back to the territory of the merfolk clan, and then, we broke out a few small battles, but it didn't take long for the kraken to come with news that everything was caused by the land people." It had nothing to do with me, and then he said that we fishmen and land-people colluded, and I was taken to the temple, but, you know, I have never betrayed my god, and even if I was judged before the messenger of God, I was pardoned with a clear conscience, and I became a priest. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Priestess Bona, and there seemed to be a glow in his eyes.

"Well, everyone can see that you two are interested in Lang You's concubines," Leo said, "but it's not a princess or a saint or something, wouldn't it be too shameless to give us face?" ”

"The princess of the family has a noble status, and it is estimated that there is no need to take this risk." I said, "The out-of-character princess in the story is not normal." ”

"Well, you have a point." Leo said, "Wrap up on their words." ”

I'm actually very interested in merfolk and the sea race, but looking at their attitude, they don't want to reveal too much about things in the sea, so I don't have much hope, so I say, "Then, give me an overview of your ocean race." For example, apart from merfolk and krakens, what is the status of the rest of the races? I've only heard of the races you just mentioned, but I've seen some hybrids on the water elemental plane, such as sharks and werewolves on the ground. ”

"What you're seeing is probably a sea race captured by land magicians." "In the sea, all races will only choose their own race as mates, leaving purebred offspring, and there will be no hybrids, but I have heard that human elves and orcs will have mixed blood......"

There was a bit of sarcasm in his remarks, but he tried his best to show caution and restraint, as if he were just telling a fact, as if he were talking about the enslavement of the original sea race.

"It's really a frustrating thing," I said, "but I don't think there's anything wrong with those half-breeds, it's just a matter of contradictions between races, and even the gods can't solve it, and we're not going to talk about that, but about the situation in your seas, for example, the population, the territory, and so on." ”

"They're just vassals." Priest Bona said calmly, "Except for the merfolk, none of the other sea races can be favored by the sea god, they are only worthy of being vassals. ”

"Oh, then, what's the matter with the Kraken?" I asked.

"I don't want to admit it, but that's the way it is," Madrudin carefully gestured to Priest Bona, and continued, "The Kraken and the Mermaid are both creatures of the Poseidon at the source, but they were bewitched by the evil god and degenerated, despite this, in front of the evil god, only the Kraken is qualified to be favored by the evil god, after all, they have excellent bloodline, even if they are degenerate, they are still excellent, so in the entire sea, except for the mermaid and the kraken, the other races are not worthy of the favor of the gods, and can only be vassals." ”

I couldn't help but nod and shake my head again.

To put it bluntly, mermaids and krakens have the same ancestry, but they have such a great hatred with different bosses, but what other sharks, people, shrimp people, turtle people, etc., are like rabbits, rats, people, and deer people on the prairie, and can only be used as vassals.

The reason why mermaids and krakens are powerful is that in addition to the favor of the gods, they should also have enough advantages, such as a large population, high magic affinity, and so on.

Speaking of which, the pattern of marine life is simpler than that of land, but the area of the ocean is too large, and the estimated population should not be underestimated.

It's no wonder that these two gods in the sea don't appear much in the legends of the land gods, and it seems that the two of them are busy enough to fight and play by themselves......

There are still a lot of questions I want to know, but I see that they seem to be in a hurry, and the so-called arranged free labor has not yet arrived, so I continue to talk to them.

"By the way, how do you divide your strength?" I said, "Like the rank of a warrior, the title of a priest or a magician, or something like that." ”

"This, it shouldn't have anything to do with treasure, right?" Maderudin hesitated again.

"Ah, it's just curious," I said, "it's okay if you don't say it, it's all something that even civilians know, it's just that the land race and the sea race lack communication, I want to verify it." ”

"It's really not a secret," said Priest Bona, "we are not as complicated as on land, a warrior is a warrior, and how many subordinates can be controlled is what kind of title is called, for example, if there are less than ten people, it is called squad leader, if it is less than 100 people, it is called squadron leader, if it is under 10,000 people, it is called a captain, and if you manage ten legions, you are called a general, and if you can get the blessing of God, you are also called a god warrior......"

It's simple, but you can see a lot of things - it seems that the fish people are also like the orcs, equating strength and rank.

On the side of humans and elves, strength and military rank are separated, for example, the strength of a silver-level Douqi warrior and a gold-level Douqi warrior is very different, but the silver-level can be a general in the army of the secular regime, and the gold-level does not want to join the army, so it can only be regarded as a civilian, not even the level of an orc ten-captain. On Earth, there are also distinctions such as official titles and titles, which are more complicated.
