In Van Dane's narrative, Lance learns many secrets that no one knows.

It turned out that Master William, who established the Dark Secret Realm, was himself a legendary-level Grand Constructor. Probably a powerhouse of the same level as Rodriguez and the big puppeteer Singler.

He was a member of the first generation of the Black Tower, and was said to be a Holt himself.

It was he who built the obelisk, the clock, and the dark realm below, and it was he who established the law of day and night.

It's just that these things have been gradually forgotten in the torrent of history.

People only remember that there was a very powerful constructor in River-Lake Town, who established a strange dark secret realm nearby, and the special energy in the dark secret realm can suppress the magic of wizards, making River-Lake a very special place.

And the name of the great architect is William.

It sounds very ordinary, but Master William's attainments in construction are definitely not inferior to Singel's in puppetry.

It is said that his steel labyrinth is filled with various types of constructs. Unlike golems, these structures do not require energy and can operate on their own.

The development of constructology originated from another adjacent plane.

One of the Councillors of the Black Tower had delved into that dark realm, and in the course of his research, he stumbled upon Master William who seemed to have learned the science of constructs from another world. And that councilor of the Black Tower is the one who died not long ago, and is also the father and teacher of the beastly girl Jeffoni.

"Do you know why the Holts and the Black Elves are so nervous?"

Van Daner smiled: "The thing I mentioned to you before. The black elves also told us, it turns out that they have found a treasure!"

"Treasure?" Lance looked suspicious.

The lizardman nodded and said, "A treasure that can be of great benefit in the steel labyrinth!"

"As we said earlier, the entrance to the steel labyrinth is below the obelisk. It opens once every five years, and as long as you have the Crimson Key, you can enter the Iron Labyrinth. ”

"But in fact, the number of people who enter the steel labyrinth every time is strictly controlled by the Black Tower. The reason is also very simple, after entering the steel labyrinth, you will reach the space on the first floor. Judging by the number of survivors who have reported back to them, this first layer of space is all A-type constructs - that is, active attack types. The number and mass of A-type structures in the first layer of space are only related to one thing......"

"How many people entered?" Lance frowned slightly. This method doesn't seem very scientific.

Van Daner nodded: "That's true. The predecessors of the Black Tower have done several experiments. A lot of lives have been paid. Finally, I got a more reliable number -- that is, thirty. The number of people entering the Black Tower at a time must not exceed thirty! Once it exceeds thirty, the number of A-type constructs inside will not only multiply, but there is also a high chance of elite-level constructs!"

Langston understood, "So even if the ordinary people of River-Lake Town get the Crimson Key. There may not be a chance to enter the steel labyrinth smoothly. Right?"

Van Daner snorted. I kind of agree with Lance.

In fact, he only recently learned about it. The previous lizardmen were the fourth largest force in River-Lake Town, and he didn't know the core secrets of River-Lake Town.

To this day, he is a councilor of the Black Tower. Only then was these important secrets officially told.

The Lizardmen, on the other hand, were also allocated three spots this time - provided that they could get the Crimson Key and were willing to venture into the Iron Labyrinth.

"However, it is said that this is only the case with the first layer, and once everyone reaches the second level of the steel labyrinth, everyone will be separated and transported to the steel towers. The Tower of Steel has a total of nine floors, as long as you can get through the guards on each floor and master the power of the Tower of Steel, you can order all the structures in the tower to serve you!"

Van Daner licked his lips, revealing a hint of greed: "Those constructs, the strength of the individuals is very strong, all of them are made of rare metals, even a first-level wizard is difficult to hurt them! On the frontal battlefield, if there is a small team of constructs as a commando, it can definitely defeat most of the enemies." ”

"But I don't see any structures in River-Lake. Lance mentioned.

Van Daner nodded with some regret: "You are indeed very wise. So far, no one has managed to break through the nine-story steel tower! So the Dark Constructed Nation is still a virgin land for us—a precious but uncollectible treasure. ”

"But even if you can't beat the Tower of Steel, if you can defeat some of the constructs, you'll be able to harvest a lot of important materials - rare metals are worth a thousand gold in their own right. If you can get some broken structures and send them to the Black Gold Fort for reconstruction, you can restore some of the effects. In fact, I estimate that the Holts, Black Elves and Gray Dwarves should have some constructs in their hands, but these are their hidden hole cards, and they are reluctant to use them even when the monsters attack the city, and they will only use them when they are in the most critical situation. ”

"In short, the Steel Labyrinth is such a very attractive place, but it is also full of danger, and every time a wizard who enters it can successfully return, it is basically not more than thirty percent. Among these three percent, there are many who are quite self-aware and voluntarily give up exploring dangerous areas. ”

Lance listened quietly, and suddenly asked, "What does that have to do with the so-called [treasure]?"

Van Daner was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head: "I almost forgot." I've just said this to draw out that treasure. ”

"Ten years ago, a wizard entered the labyrinth of steel, and he came out alive, bringing out a lot of rare metal, and people even speculated that he got a complete construct. However, he flatly denied it, and it is said that he once broke through the guards of the eighth layer, and finally lost to the ninth layer. Originally, this was a precious experience, but when the wizard came out, he was seriously injured and dying, and died not long after. ”

After his death, the relics were looted by the people - the Holts were a bunch of hypocrites, and the appearance of reverence for him was not to see if the wizard had left any important records. It's a pity that they didn't get anything. ”

Among the messy relics was a very ordinary notebook, which had been checked several times by the people of the Black Tower to make sure it was just an ordinary notepad, and then tossed it to the wizard's only relative, his grandson, who was an eight-year-old boy when he died. ”

"I heard that guy kept that notepad all along. After all these years, he has not given up studying the secrets in the notebook...... As a result, it took ten years, and he really researched the secrets in the notepad!"

"His grandfather was cunning and cunning, and he wrote a notepad using a mixture of three monster bloods. And the blood of two of the monsters can be washed away with several potions, and the remaining part, through the method of [number-letter] replacement, can form an experience about how he broke through the first eight floors of the steel tower!"

"It has to be said that this teenager is a genius in decryption and has managed to uncover the treasure left to him by his grandfather. But he's a complete idiot!"

The lizardman said this, and his mouth couldn't help but be a little dry.

Lance was very considerate and handed over a glass of water: "No wine, only water." ”

Van Daner took a big sip of water and said with a smile: "In this kind of place, clean water is also a great resource. ”

"Okay, I continued. The boy was so crazy when he was studying his notes that everyone thought he was crazy, so not many people wanted to be friends with him. There is only one girl who admires his persistence very much and has been secretly helping him. It is precisely because of this that he, a Holt who knows nothing, can survive in River Lake Town. ”

"Girl?" Lance's reaction was quick, and the shadow of the beastly girl immediately flashed in his mind!

"Her name is Jenfoni, and you must have met her, and I heard that she betrayed the Holts and then took refuge in Jonah and attacked the granary with Walkerson, but you scared her away. Van Daner explained: "Jeffany and the boy were very good friends, and it was thanks to Jeffany that he was able to continue his research. ”

So as soon as the results came out, the fool was very excited to show his results to Jeffonie, whom he had always admired, and said that the next day he would go to the steward of the Holts and tell the Holts about his research results. ”

"It's a pity that the fool probably didn't expect until he died that the girl he admired was not a good stubble in Hehu Town. ”

Lance took a deep breath: "She killed him?"

"That's right. Van Daner smiled: "But before she killed him and seized the notebook, the matter somehow leaked out." Both the Holts and the Black Elves were informed that they were in a fight, that Jeffany's father was killed by the Black Elves in the process of protecting her, and that she herself was considered a traitor for trying to take possession of a secret that was supposed to be shared by the Holts, and was eventually hunted down by the Black Elves and Holts. ”

"I don't know what happened after that, Jenfany has been haunted, she should have studied the secrets in her notebook thoroughly. As for taking refuge in Jonah, it is probably because he wants to use his power to enter the steel labyrinth. ”

It's a pity that this qiē has caused the Holts to suffer from internal friction and great loss of strength. It also gave us the opportunity for the lizardmen to rise, which was so much fun. ”

Van Daner had a good laugh, and as a winner, he was indeed entitled to laugh like that.

Lance also smiled, and smiled equally happily:

"Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story with me. But I want to know, where does that teenager live?" (to be continued......)
