Chapter 261: Labyrinth (Part II)
It was impossible for Salin and the others to know what was going on behind them. After a short break, he and Rex's team continued on their way.
Suddenly, an oasis appeared. This oasis looks quite large, and there is also a city.
"Your Excellency!"
Rex's swordsmen shouted, and both Rex and Saleen saw the scene through the car window, but couldn't believe it.
"That's not an oasis!"
"Mirage?"
"It looks real, what are we going to do?"
"You'll know when you get closer. ”
The team approached the city, and sure enough, after walking for about a few minutes, the edge of the oasis gradually blurred.
"Hey, Rex, did you find any. ”
"Found what?"
"It's the first time I've seen this mirage, how can it be so real?"
"What do you mean?" Rex's perception wasn't as far as Saleen's release, but then, she snapped and became short of breath.
"It's not a mirage!Stop, stop!" Rex said a little late, the speed of the skeleton warhorse allowed the team to move forward with little hindrance. This was a good thing, but now it's a huge problem.
The violent bear in front has already come to the city with the sword master.
Ancient castles. There was a moat in front of him, the water of which was real, exuding a powerful aura of water elementals, but in fact it was only a shallow puddle. The water was also accumulated by the occasional rain, and it was about to dry up.
The city wall is black and brown, and it is completely integrated, I don't know what material it is made of, and it is full of dense holes. The towers of the city were bare, and there were no battlements at the head of the walls. The gates were closed, and on them, a line of writing was engraved in the Old Merces language - Loga.
Loga is the legendary city of the First Dynasty, in the western part of the continent, in the territory of the Tangulas Empire, there are still ruins, and the place has been occupied by the Holy See to build a new city.
The city in front of him is definitely not that Luo Jia.
Rex looked down and saw that the magic compass in his hand began to spin wildly and failed again!
Rex's expression was a little bitter, and it didn't make sense whether the team stopped or not. The bear urged his horse to the moat, but he saw a stone tablet with a map of the city engraved on it.
"This ......" Zola followed the bear, and when he saw that the patterns on the map were constantly changing, he knew that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw a vast expanse in the distance, and a whistling sound sounded. The wind is blowing.
"I can't go in if I don't go in. Salin also thought of the record in a certain magic notebook, this city, it turned out to be the Loga Labyrinth!
It is said that there were too many powerful creatures captured by humans back then, causing slight chaos in the plane of the Myers continent. The goddess Myers did not like it, so she locked up the creatures that caused chaos, and the place where these creatures were held had a name - the Labyrinth of Loga.
There are many records about the Luojia Labyrinth, but they are all unknown, because the labyrinth built by the goddess itself is a huge magical illusion, and the creatures inside cannot escape, and it is difficult for people outside to enter.
There weren't many humans who could talk to the goddess back then, and these people's interests were naturally not in a labyrinth. Ordinary mages, on the other hand, are not so powerful that they cannot see through the true face of the Loga Labyrinth.
The whining sound grew clearer, and Rex's face was much more ugly than Salin's. She also knew that the sound was approaching with a sandstorm. Her metal house has been destroyed, and if she doesn't enter Luojia, all of her people will be swept away by the sandstorm. Without the Ring of the HRE, no one will survive.
"Let's go inside. Rex reluctantly gave the order.
The skeletal horse of the Storm Bear slammed over the moat and came under the city gates. The gates of Loga were tall. It is more than twenty meters high. The dense pits in the city wall are the result of the perennial sandstorms.
Storm Bear raised his spear and pointed towards the city gate. His movements were light, but the gates opened silently, revealing a gap that allowed people to enter and exit.
Stormbear rode into the city gates, and Zola hesitated before following in. The inside of the city gate is not like the current city, which is very spacious. Storm Bear looks rude, but his mind is delicate. He rode forward, and first circled the city gate, and when he saw that there was no danger, he turned and jumped off his horse, and pulled the gate open.
The gate was so thick that Storm Bear opened it completely without much effort. The moat is not deep, but it is impossible for the tank to want to pass through. Rex pulled out another pile of equipment, and the swordsmen quickly built a bridge. The magic chariot entered the city gates.
In the end, Storm Bear closed the city gates, and a magician casually unleashed the earth wall and petrification techniques to seal the city gates. The sandstorm behind him reappeared, slamming into the city gates.
Everyone was not too nervous, although the sandstorm was loud and the city gate was trembling, but the city had been in the purgatory desert for I don't know how many years, and it had not collapsed, so it could be seen that resisting the sandstorm was not a problem.
The magicians looked up and saw that the sky above the city seemed to be held by an invisible cover, and the black sand covered the sky, and not a single grain fell into the city. And the people did not go forward. Resting on the spot near the city gate, the sandstorm lasted for more than an hour before dissipating.
The two swordsmen went to pull the city gate at this time, but found that the city gate was like an iron plate and could not be opened no matter what.
"You don't have to try, once you enter Luojia City, it's hard to get out. Rex stopped Storm Bear's movements, and he was thinking about splitting the gates with his tomahawk.
"What then?" Storm Bear rubbed his temples in annoyance, he also knew that if this gate could block the sandstorm, he could not split it.
"Loga is not only a prison, but also a place where believers gather. The structure of the city is a labyrinth that the faithful can enter and exit freely. ”
Rex's words are equivalent to nothing, the goddesses have fallen, they just want to believe, and they have lost their object.
"The insoluble labyrinth of Lorga?" Salin looked into the city, only to see the high and low buildings scattered, and the streets were all twisted, none of which could be docked together.
"You know that, too?" asked Rex.
"I've tried hacking. Salin replied. The unsolvable Loga Labyrinth is a pattern for magicians to exercise their computing skills. Actually, that pattern is depicted after the city of Loga.
"Did you crack it?"
"If it's just on paper, it's okay. I think the structure of the city is subject to change. ”
Of course, Rex knew what Saleen said, if this Loga City was just an ordinary labyrinth, everyone could climb over the walls. But this is a completely enclosed area, and no sandstorms can invade.
"Rex, you must have a way to get out when you let everyone in, right?"
Rex stroked the HRE Ring on his finger and did not answer. It's not impossible to leave, but you have to use the power of the Ring of the HRE. If you use it now, then when you enter the temple, everyone's life will not be guaranteed.
"There is a solution to the Loga Labyrinth. Elenor spoke suddenly.
"What?" Rex was a little surprised, in the records of the magicians, no one had been able to crack the real Loga Labyrinth. The cracking that Salin said is to crack a pattern on the paper, in fact, the number of Loga labyrinths is huge, and it takes a lot of time for the magician to get out of each labyrinth. This Luojia City is equivalent to all the Luojia labyrinths combined, even if you take every step correctly, you can't get out in a moment.
The only rule in Loga's Labyrinth is that when you walk through a door, it is completely closed and there is no way to go back from where it was. That's why Rex stays in front of the city gates all the time, and once you're deep in the city, you can't turn back.
"The secret of Luojia City, I know a little, in the earliest days, the goddess was to protect the believers, and later, because humans hunted creatures from various planes, it seemed that they were preparing to do something, among these creatures, those who were not strong enough were eliminated and thrown away, and humans were too lazy to send them back to various planes, but these abandoned creatures were also very powerful in themselves, so the goddess sent them to Luojia City, so that these creatures became the guardians of the city. ”
Eleanor said unhurriedly, as if she had gone back to the time when the Marquis told her stories. At that time, how happy she was, how simple she was.
"No need to calculate, let's go along the left. Every time you pass through a gate, there will be a guard. If you defeat this guard, then the maze will not have a new change, we just have to keep walking to the left to find the exit. ”
"It can't be that simple, right?" asked Salin, confused.
"No, if you are a believer in other gods, the city will become a killing space, and all the defenders who have been present in the city will be resurrected and attack you. ”
Saleen breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully there wasn't a single person in Rex's team who had a crush on the Lord of Radiance, otherwise, everyone would have been doomed together. All the guardians that were captured by humans back then were all existences similar to great demons, and even if they were abandoned, they were probably eighth-level creatures.
Neris whispered in Saleen's ear, "Master, the guards ......"
"No!" Salin scolded. Nellis hunted the guards, which he understands, but is too dangerous. Even if the guards were killed, Saleen would not allow Naris to collect the guards' remains. Who knows what danger is in this city left by the goddess. If any powerful existence is provoked, this group of people will be completely finished.
"What if I need it?" said Neris didn't give up this time.
Salin thought for a moment and said, "You tell me in advance, and I will judge when the time comes." ”
Nellis nodded in agreement, she was just dissatisfied with her several abilities, without the full eight abilities, Lologaro's strength would never reach its peak.
"Let's get out of the car. Rex told all the mages to leave the chariot and put it away. In many parts of the city, chariots are impassable. The swordsmen checked their equipment, and Neris called the four demons to her side and ordered them to protect Saleen at all times.
The four demons had already submitted to Sareen, but Zola was not at ease, and also left the Storm Bear and came to Sareen's side. Saleen put away the skeleton horses as well, and the power of the undead creatures was minimized in the city. However, those constructed golems that began to show signs of life invisibly increased their power, as if there was invisible energy in this city that was infiltrating the bodies of these constructed golems, causing these puppets to begin to evolve again.
