Chapter 32: The Dilemma

"Take a break. Burry seemed to have guessed everyone's minds. He said lightly: "Let's discuss what to do next." ”

As everyone sat together, Burry stared into the impenetrable darkness at the end of the corridor, and thoughtfully, only the crackling of torches in the entire passageway.

After a long time, Bury suddenly spoke: "I'm a little strange. Everyone was attracted by his brainless words, of course the head of the regiment Bury would not say anything, he said that it was strange, then there must be some problem. Everyone was silent, just staring at Burry silently, waiting for him to say what was in his mind.

Bury took out the map, spread it on the ground, and pointed to a corner of the map and said, "Look." ”

Everyone's eyes followed Burry's fingers, and saw that the corner of the map that was originally clear was blurred, and when they looked closely, it turned out that two passages were repeatedly drawn together. This is indeed very strange to everyone, although Bury's previous hand-drawn map is not beautiful, but it can be regarded as accurate, after all, he has more than ten years of adventure experience, and knows the importance of an accurate map to adventurers, and now there is a situation where two passages overlap, with Bury's carefulness, it is absolutely impossible to make such a mistake.

Burry spoke slowly, and it was evident that every word he said had been carefully considered: "I was thinking about this two days ago, and according to the map I had drawn by hand, and the route we had traveled in the past two days, we should be back here." Bury pointed to a point on the map with his hand and continued: "We walked there, and I also marked it with a dagger. ”

Ryan didn't speak, he saw with his own eyes that Burry carved an arrow with his dagger every time he walked through a road, indicating the direction in which he was traveling. But now Burry's words show that there is something wrong with what he did before, which makes Ryan also very puzzled.

Burry continued: "But the place we have passed in the last two days coincides with the passage we have traveled, and yet I cannot find any mark of myself, and I have been thinking about it, and I have recalled it many times, and I have made sure that I am not misremembered, and I have drawn the wrong map. ”

Burry gasped, and he cautiously stated his conjecture: "Haven't you noticed that the traps we have lifted in these two days are far greater than the sum of the previous days, and the scale and power are incomparable. ”

"That's it, that's it!" Tedain nodded hurriedly, he had had enough of the ten-step trap in the past two days.

"All things considered, if I'm not mistaken, we're now in the lower level of this tomb. ”

"Lower?" Daphne couldn't help but repeat Bury's words.

"That is," Ryan uttered Burry's conjecture, "that we inadvertently found the passage to the main crypt?"

Burry didn't speak, but nodded firmly.

"Great!" Terdain was young and immediately cheered: "The hard work of the past few days has not been in vain, we will definitely ...... then" Terdain's voice became smaller and smaller, because he saw that Bury's face was not only not smiling, but full of helplessness.

"Maybe we're close to our destination," Burry said reluctantly with the last question, "but we're running out of provisions." If we have to return the same way here, even if it is very smooth, it will take a day, and our supplies will be less than two days. ”

This news obviously made everyone very unwilling, but no one could think of any way, the high-intensity and high-density traps in the past few days have put the six arrow mercenary groups in a dilemma.

Go ahead, Daphne, the only thief in the group who can search and disarm the trap, is already physically and mentally exhausted, the others are not familiar with these things and can't help her much, and the team is not well fed, so there is no time for the six arrow mercenaries to stay and recuperate.

Just retreat, to be honest, everyone's hearts are unwilling, the treasure may be close at hand, maybe just around the corner in front of the road is the door to open the main tomb, at this time to give up, it is too unacceptable.

What's more, the tomb is far away in the mountains, and if you want to leave here and return to the nearest city to rest, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, and the next time, for the sake of safety, you will have to hire another thief who can search for traps and disarm them, which is not easy to find. Maybe when everyone comes back here, it's going to be more than a month later, and who knows what will happen in such a long time?

In the past few days, the regiment commander Bury has been thinking about this problem, he weighed it again and again, or had a germination in his heart, as the regiment commander, he has to be responsible for the personnel of the whole regiment, and would rather return empty-handed, even if he loses a lot of gold coins, there must be no more personnel damage, the lesson of the last time, is it not enough?

Bury looked into everyone's eyes and said his decision in a calm tone: "Go back, get out of here, and go to the nearest city to rest!"

"No!" Daphne jumped to her feet, Bury's words made her completely forget about her fatigue, and Daphne said loudly, "No, never......!

"Can you guarantee that you will find the main tomb gate and open it before the supplies run out?"

"No, but ......"

"Daphne, calm down!"

"No, Burry. We still have a chance, and we shouldn't give it up like that!"

"I'm responsible for everyone's safety!"

"Just hold on a little longer!"

......

Daphne and Burry have a heated argument, and each of them has their own positions and reasons, and neither can convince anyone. The quiet corridor suddenly became noisy, especially Daphne's shrill voice, which traveled far and wide along the corridor, and faintly heard echoes.

The other members hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, and Daphne pushed away Tedain, who persuaded her, and said angrily, "Go away, don't stand in the way." Then he said to Bury: "Captain Bury, although you are the leader of the mercenary group, I still insist on my opinion. ”

Bury looked at the persistent Daphne, sighed, and said, "Then let's vote." ”

Daphne listened to Bury's words and said loudly, "Okay! There may be a trap or a treasure ahead, how can you know if you don't fight?"

"Now there are seven people in our regiment, and if we continue to advance or retreat, each person can only choose one, and cannot abstain. Bury looked helplessly at the stubborn Daphne and said the way to vote: "Those who agree to move forward raise their left hands, and those who are ready to retreat raise their right hands." ”

Before Bury's words fell, Daphne was the first to raise her left hand, although she was unwilling to give up like this, in fact, Bury was not really willing to give up, even if it was only temporary. However, the last time he actually damaged two men because of his recklessness, Burry had to have concerns, so in order to make sure that nothing went wrong, this time Burry would rather spend a lot of gold to hire Ryan and Dennis, and also gave up when he was in a dilemma, albeit temporarily.

Burry looked at Daphne, he thought of the dead Angus, the two of them are really the same personality, but it's a pity, "Alas" Burry sighed secretly in his heart, and slowly raised his right hand.
