"You want me to go to the front to scout?" The thief looked at Qin Lun with some confusion, "Did you run into a creature lair again?" ”

"It's not a creature nest, it looks like a man-made building with a high process of craftsmanship!" Qin Lun recounted the discovery of the dwarves, "This is also something I've been worried about. ∈♀ Top Novel, www."

"Did the gray dwarves build it?" The thief's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "If it's a sentry built by the gray dwarves, then aren't we about to complete our mission?" ”

"I also wish it was the Grey Dwarves who built a sentry post in the Dark Regions, so I wouldn't have to worry about it!" Qin Lun shook his head with a wry smile and said to the apostles who gathered around, "I don't know if you have noticed how much time the starry sky has added to this branch plot?" ”

"A natural month...... Is there a problem? Newton asked, frowning, while Weiss and Hill were lost in thought.

"Of course there is a problem, this time ...... It's too long! Qin Lun sighed, and then explained his opinion in detail.

Judging from the prompt information that the Apostles have just entered the world of Torrell, the Shattered Starry Sky has just been developed for this peak world of the Middle Devil.

The last time Qin Lun entered the Torrell World, he had met other apostle teams in various places one after another. For example, encountering the Lost Rookie Group in the Jondar Elven Court, a similar apostle team appeared in the Anker Elves, and when he rescued Lorraine and other Snow Peak dwarves in Iron Star Castle, it was equivalent to snatching the story mission of another apostle team.

In just over a month, they have met three apostle teams one after another, not counting the apostles in other corners of the world, which shows how much human resources Shattered Star has invested in this world. And Qin Lun and Weiss's team entered the Torrell world this time, all by virtue of world tokens, which also shows that the Shattered Star Sky attaches great importance to the development of the Torrell world.

Since it was a full-scale invasion, the Dark Region was an important part of the Torrell world, and the Shattered Starry Sky would naturally arrange a team of apostles, not that they were ignorant of this area.

In that case, here's the problem!

Shattered Stars generally gives story quests to the Apostles, and there are two subtle hints, one is the difficulty of the mission, and the other is the duration of the mission.

In terms of task difficulty, if the Broken Starry Sky is clearly calculated, then it will definitely give the corresponding difficulty, for example: the team's initial guidance task, the starry sky is calculated very accurately, and most of the guidance tasks will have an accurate difficulty display.

For some big plot tasks, due to the relatively long execution time, the interaction between the apostle and the plot characters is more, and the task is prone to many unexpected twists and turns, so the difficulty of the task is likely to appear unknown in difficulty.

On the other hand, with regard to the length of stay, the tasks that the apostles now receive usually show the length of stay. This is because the Shattered Sky has a clear written history of the other world, so it is possible to accurately estimate the approximate period of a plot from the beginning to the end.

However, there are also unclear places in the broken starry sky, such as: the side plot triggered by Qin Lun and others in the Land of Death and the Troll's Claw - Bodean's Trace!

The Land of the Dead and Troll's Claw are inaccessible and have no detailed written records, and Shattered Sky doesn't know anything about that area, so it naturally can't give an exact time for its mission.

At that time, the Shattered Starry Sky began with Qin Lun and the others entering the Land of Death and ended with leaving the troll's claws, as the end of the entire mission.

With this in mind, the time spent by the apostles to assist the dwarven exploration team is rather weird!

It only took Qin Lun and the others less than a week from triggering the front branch of the epic plot to now finding the mining area of the Secret Silver Hall. Even if you add the return time later, it will only be half a month.

At the same time, the shattered starry sky has long stated that it will not increase the stay time for everyone, and the remaining half a month is naturally not the time for them to find the hidden plot again.

This shows that when Shattered Starry Sky was calculating this story mission, it was estimated that it would take almost a month for the apostles to complete the task. So in addition to the half a month of round trip, what is the remaining half a month used for?

There is only one answer, the apostles must encounter some kind of difficulty before they really reach the mining area of the Secret Silver Hall, and they have to spend about half a month. This difficulty is either spent on finding the right route, or it is consumed in combat.

Qin Lun asked Lorraine at the beginning, on what basis they deduced the direction of progress, and it was because of this. However, Lorraine's Q&A apparently cut off the first possibility, and the dwarves had already found the right route this time.

As a result, there was only one last possibility left, and before they reached the mining area of the Secret Silver Hall, they would encounter a protracted battle that would take about half a month.

"I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure." Qin Lun said with a wry smile, "But now it seems that what I was worried about is becoming a reality. ”

"Hehe, isn't that just right?" The apostles looked at each other and smiled, and Newton, the shield guard, clenched his fists and smiled cheerfully, "I've been stuffy for the past few days, and I thought that this task would be boring until the end, but now it's finally a little interesting." In the past few days, I have been climbing mountains and caves, and my bones are almost crispy, so I just took this opportunity to treat it. ”

"Qin Lun, this is not like your style, what's wrong, there are a few more beauties around you, are you afraid of fighting?" Rand teased with a grin.

……

Not to mention the scrappy Apostles and Dwarves, the thief Biba soon sneaked up to the hole in the pit and began to feed back his observations to the team channel.

The man-made structure, which Qin Lun called the process dù very high, appeared on the apostles' team channel. It is a building resembling a bastion, with a pentagonal exterior wall made of large strips of stone, and the center of each wall is slightly concave inward, highlighting the arrow towers at the corners.

However, the ordinary fortress only has a part of the city wall, and there is no roof in the center. The building, on the other hand, has a huge roof that covers the entire fortress and looks like a specially shaped steamer.

Luckily, the building is less than two kilometers in radius, otherwise it would have been considered a dungeon by the dwarves. If there is a dungeon standing in the way of the exploration team, then they will have to declare the operation a failure, and they will need to find other surface rifts leading to the mining area of the Secret Silver Hall.

"This building is clearly man-made, could it be a fortress built by the Grey Dwarves? However, what were the Grey Dwarves building a fortress in such a place, and did they anticipate that the Shield Dwarves would attack from the Dark Regions? The thief was puzzled by what he had seen, and asked.

"It's unlikely, if it's the gray dwarves' measures to deal with the enemy, they can completely guard the entrance of the Secret Silver Hall to the dark region, the mining area here is still a little too far from the city of the Secret Silver Hall, there is no need!" Ciel pondered for a moment, then spoke his opinion.

"Monkey, can you sneak in and have a look?" Weiss asked the thief cautiously.

"I'll try my best, it may take some time, and I don't know its entrance and exit yet." The thief looked a little excited, it was a good challenge for him, "By the way, you'd better get out of the way again, especially the noisy dwarves, and don't let them alarm each other!" ”

……

After informing Gillim, the Dwarven Explorers quickly retreated some distance and remained quiet.

The Dwarves are not good at stealth reciting, and almost no one of their species has been converted to the class of thieves or assassins, which is not in line with the aesthetics of the dwarves. They advocate the aesthetic of violence, and their combat skills are simple and straightforward. Even if they are the best at forging and smelting, the dwarves mostly like to craft rough and atmospheric equipment.

However, although the dwarves are stubborn and irritable, they can still maintain a lot of respect for the strong people of other professions. They at least understand that every fighting class has strengths, especially in areas that they are not good at, and that dwarves can listen to others' advice as well.

"Huh~~" The thief let out a surprise as he approached the building for a certain distance.

"Monkey, did you find anything?" Weiss asked cautiously.

"The building doesn't seem to be what we thought it would be...... How to say this, see for yourselves! The thief didn't know what to say about the mirror image he was seeing, so he simply fed back the image he had observed to the team channel.

The thieves ran around the building for a small half circle, and everyone was surprised to see that on a closer look, the fortress-like building was actually surrounded by entrances and exits, and there was a passage without a gate almost every hundred meters.

These passages, which have no portals, have the same stone walls at the back, and it seems that they have to turn continuously as soon as they enter the door, and the internal structure is strange and peculiar.

"This structure seems to be ......" Just as the rest of the team was confused, Rand suddenly frowned and said, "It can't be a labyrinth, right?" ”

Rand was originally a firefighter, and although he was not an architect, he was the most familiar with the construction of buildings among the apostles on the scene.

"It's kind of like that!" After Rand's reminder, the others also came to their senses.

Although other possibilities have not been ruled out, the combined fortress has a canopy and numerous entrances and exits. Then you need to turn around immediately after entering the door, and it really looks like a huge labyrinth.

"If it's a maze, this area seems to be complicated enough. If there are traps inside......" Wei Si glanced at the others, frowned and said, "Qin Lun, it seems that you are right, this maze will waste us for a long time!" ”

The labyrinth sits on the path of the exploration team, and the dwarves must find out what is going on inside, otherwise they will not be able to move forward with confidence.

"There's no way, let Biba come back!" Qin Lun said helplessly, "We can't let him go in and take risks alone, let's go and inform Jilimu that everyone must gather their strength here." ”I527
