Chapter 36: Labyrinth Paradise

The expedition team emphasizes the division of labor and cooperation, some people are responsible for the rapid opening of low-difficulty floors, some are responsible for the exploration of high-difficulty floors, some are responsible for carrying grain and grass and collecting monster drops, and some are responsible for maintaining weapons and armor, which is not only an opportunity for low-level adventurers to get training, but also to preserve the energy of high-level adventurers.

Naturally, the Inbas family acted together with the core team of the Loki family, and the road ahead was opened by someone, and the journey to the 18th floor, known as the "Labyrinth Paradise", was similar to an outing, with only one or two monsters that happened to be refreshed from the dungeon.

"Huh? Didn't you say that there are towns...... Also, I've always thought that [Safe Floor] refers to a floor without monsters. As soon as he walked down the stairs, Lyle immediately saw the Pathfinder encamped in an open space in the forest not far away, and at the same time sensed the breath of the monster.

The Amazon fighter jumped over and answered enthusiastically: "The answer to the previous question is that the town hotel charges are too dark, and adventurers above LV4 have a high income and don't mind the money, but also consider the mood of the rest of the team. ”

By the way, in addition to the prosperity of yin and yang, the Loki clan is a united organization that has done a good job in all aspects, and some of the clan has the phenomenon of high-level adventurers staying in hotels with public funds and low-level adventurers camping in the wild.

"After all, it's a monopoly business, how can you be worthy of yourself if you don't kill you." Lyle doesn't know exactly how much it will cost, but if even LV6 adventurers think it's 'black', it's definitely not just because of the cost of moving supplies off the ground.

"Woo wow, suddenly I remembered that you are also merchants." The Amazonian gladiator's eyes wandered, if the Inbas siblings didn't have the strength to beat the gods, she would probably have to make a remark criticizing the profiteers, "Ahem...... The answer to the latter question is that for adventurers, a labyrinth without complex terrain is safe enough and not too demanding. ”

Luna interjected, "Easy to escape?" ”

"Well, there's no denying that there's part of the reason." Not all monsters are four-legged beasts, and there are not a few monsters that can't outrun adventurers, and they are two different degrees of threat in the narrow labyrinth and in the open space, "but the main thing is to be on guard, choose a suitable place to camp, and you can easily take in the surrounding situation and react in advance." ”

Camped in a narrow labyrinth, the view is obstructed, and sometimes it is too late for the sentry to notice.

"It's so professional~" Lena said with wide eyes, she became more and more fond of the profession of adventurer.

"No, we are adventurers by nature, and we are more 'professional' than 'professional'." The Amazon martial artist said embarrassedly, "Don't say anything, I'm going to help set up camp...... Lord Lyle, you can take a stroll around the neighborhood, the scenery of the Labyrinth Park is still very good. ”

"We're staying here, it's only a negative role, we all understand~" Not everyone is as rough as this Amazon martial artist, and Lyle leads his sisters out of the camp with the other party's laughter.

However, the other party is right in saying that the scenery on the 18th floor has the value of appreciation. Speaking of "light source", the dungeon is lit with unique crystals, which were loosely embedded in the walls of the previous floors, and the ceiling of the 18th floor is filled with these crystals, the middle crystal is a dazzling white like the sun, and the surrounding crystals are pale blue reminiscent of the sky, creating an artificial sky that changes brightness over time.

Such an exquisite design is enough to prove that this floor is a rest area specially prepared by the gods for mortals, but it is a pity that mortals are not very competitive and do not make good use of this place, and adventurers should not have to camp and guard in the wild here.

"Wow~! It's the savannah! "Walking out of the mysterious and dreamy forest with a small number of small clusters of crystals with a small amount of pale blue brilliance, Lyle and his party are greeted by a natural landscape.

The first thing that catches your eye is the majestic and vast prairie, the verdant earth that is not easy to see even on the ground, a vast forest on the right, a towering giant tree in the middle, a large lake on the left that is dark blue for some reason, and a huge rocky island in the middle.

Luna stretched, and the view brightened her mood, "It's hard to notice on the previous floor, it's so vast just the 18th floor. ”

"Mortals have not been able to completely attack the dungeon for thousands of years, and there is more than the strength of the monsters." Lyle turned his head to look at the giant tree on his right, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "It's just that the dungeon, the artificial sky, and the towering giant tree...... I don't know how to feel a sense of déjà vu......"

"According to your theory, you have seen a similar scene in your previous life?" The protagonist is Lyle, but Luna's eyes are on Gulakias, the one who knows about Lyle's past life.

"......" Gulakias shook her head, she had known Lyle for too short a time to witness the story of Lyle and the ancient Emperor Didos.

"Well, it seems that this is the case, no matter how I think about it, I will not have anything to do with the gods of the Blue Continent." Lyle shrugged, "So, where to go first~"

》》》》》》

After a night of campfire around the Magic Stone Lantern, the expedition, which did not need to be replenished for the time being, continued its march to the lower level, with Luna and Lena with them, and Lyle and Gulakias led to the town by the elven mage.

After a ten-minute walk along a rocky log that served as a pontoon bridge over the lake, across the sparkling water, and along a rugged and steep mountain road, Lyle decided to use his flying magic and fly straight from the bottom of the cliff to the top, to a highland with a great view and an easy to defend position.

They were greeted by an arch made of wooden pillars and flags with the inscription "Welcome to Rivera!" "A line of words. Inside, the various shops with billboards are makeshift shops made of wood and drapery, and the town is built on a cliff on the surface of the bald mountains, and there are steep slopes everywhere, and there are stairs made of logs everywhere.

It's undoubtedly a disappointing town, but considering it's run by adventurers, not unions or some family, it's normal, and you can't expect a bunch of weak, self-disciplined guys to spend money on building a town.

Also, it's the result of negative feedback, right? Rivera Town lacks garrison strength, even if the geographical location is destined not to be infested by the ground monsters, but it still can't withstand the attack of flying monsters, adventurers are always ready to run away, let alone spend money to build the town.

However, Lyle is very satisfied with this, and this kind of dungeon-like town is a rarity compared to serious buildings.
