53, The Ruins of Daedalus(1/2)
late at night.
The thick dark clouds blocked the moon.
In a pitch-black alleyway, the manhole cover was pushed open from below.
A hand covered in blood and filth grabbed the edge of the shaft, and then a dark figure crawled out from it.
"Um..."
He made a weak sound, forcing himself to climb out of the well, with injuries all over his body.
"Damn it, what perverts are those three... I fucking thought they almost died there, those damn monsters!!"
The bald man cursed fiercely while glading his escape from death.
He was one of the hunters that Dix accepted, and he cut down the Shadow Odd with his giant sword.
After all the hunters were defeated, only he used his magic to escape. The magic that could detect the surrounding environment made the hunters ask the warriors to chase him. In addition, it also allowed the user to have lizard-like climbing ability.
Originally, he was not going to escape.
At that time, Dix activated the curse ability, and the heretics fought. The scene was in chaos. While Lu Ye and others were attracted, he quietly approached Lu Ye and others with his lv.4 skills, hoping to kill him with one blow. But before he could get close to Lu Ye, he removed Dix's "curse".
So he turned around without hesitation and slipped away quietly in the direction of the exit.
After he came out, he kept hiding in the sewer. Because Dix's identity had been exposed, soon all the remaining members and monsters they caught that had not been sold were quickly cleared out.
Olali has a strict grasp of adventurers' entry and exit from the city, and there are many people and eyes during the day, so he can only choose to sneak out quietly at night when the garrison is weak.
However, he didn't plan to finish the matter just like that.
If he did not take revenge, he would definitely not be able to swallow this.
He had enough evidence and knew that the guild had intervened in this matter.
Since ancient times, because of the bloody battle history between people and monsters, people living on the surface have extremely great hatred for monsters. Once the guild is found to have an affair with the monsters, the pressure will be unprecedented.
As long as the matter is shaken out, the reactions of the gods will not be ignored.
Adventurers will lose trust in it, and people living in Orali can even remove it!
Moreover, Lu Ye and others will also be severely punished and become the targets of despised by thousands of people!
"You just wait... As long as I take out the evidence here, you will become prisoners... a group of miscellaneous!"
He walked with the wall, step by step.
But suddenly, he stopped.
In front of the alley, tall figures stand.
Although the person's appearance cannot be seen in the shadows, the person can also be distinguished from the outline of his body.
Seeing the figure of the person in front of him, the bald man felt a little familiar.
The figure began to move and walked straight towards this side.
He noticed the other party's movements, and the bald man instinctively wanted to retreat. At this time, a short bone knife in his pocket fell to the ground. It was a knife made by him cutting off the heretic's teeth.
The slippery soles of the feet stepped on the knife.
"Bang!"
A bald man fell to the ground with a stalemate.
The figure also approached his.
"You, who are you..." he trembled.
"I thought there were no one among Olali's adventurers who didn't know me."
The dark clouds suddenly broke and the moonlight burst out.
The bald man finally saw the face of the person in front of him, and his mind instantly went blank.
The person in front of him was a warrior from Freya's family, and he was also the only remaining lv.7 in Orali.
O it.
...
"So, all the threats were lifted?"
In the spacious and luxurious room, Freya gently shook her wine glass.
"Yes, when the 'here' is concerned, all of them have been pried out from that person's mouth." Ota said, "The evidence has been sent to destroy it. Except for the Hestia family, no one will know that Lu Ye and others have contacted the monster."
"Thank you for your hard work." Freya smiled softly.
"You seem to be very happy."
"That's natural, because the child's glory is even more dazzling." Freya said, "Although he is a well-behaved and stupid child, he is very good at taking care of people... Even if the other party is a monster, he still does his best. Don't you think such a child is cute?"
"I think that even if the monsters have sanity, they are not suitable to have any connection with them." Ota said, "Even if they save the heretics this time, what will they do in the future? Those heretics who speak and have feelings are aliens, neither can see the light nor survive in the dark dungeon, because all monsters will attack them."
"Yes, in terms of universal rationality, we should indeed be far away from them, but because of this, the child's glory is so dazzling... But speaking of this, I still can't see through that person's soul until now."
As he said that, Freya pouted her lips slightly and dissatisfied.
"Really, I want to see what the hell is secret that guy has."
"Just just say one word."
"Haha, forget it, I don't want to take action at this time," said Freya. "But we don't have to worry about heresy here. I think there will be some arrangements in the guild. You can continue to investigate the abnormal monsters in the dungeon."
"yes."
"But... help the monster, what is that old guy Uranos thinking..."
...
The stone hall of the temple.
The only torch that formed the light source swayed the light and cut through the darkness.
On the stone altar in the center, Fels, who wrapped his body in a black robe, pressed down the crystal on the pedestal.
In front of him, under the illumination of the fire, what floated into the darkness was a huge stone god throne and a huge old god sitting upright on it.
"That's how it is, what do you think?"
"Send the heretics out of the dungeon..." After hearing Fels' report, the old god Uranos nodded slightly, "Although it is not a perfect solution, it is indeed the optimal solution at present."
"Yes, their long-standing dreams are about to come true, and they are all very excited," said Fells. "After this incident, the heretics finally completely put aside their guard against Lu Ye and the others. They are still the first to bet on life to help the monsters."
"Is that right, where are the heretics imprisoned on the surface?"
"We have all returned and are recovering from injuries," Fells said. "Although some injuries cannot be cured, they can at least save their lives. The hunter's matter has been resolved, so the rest must be put on the agenda, right?"
"Before this, was the boy from the Daedalus family dead?"
"Yes, in fact, I tried to treat him, but it was useless." Fells said. "The wound he cut off by Lu Ye was extremely difficult to heal. Even with the Great Recovery Magic, it only had some superficial effects, so I simply used hypnotic magic to pull out the information from his mouth and then handed it over to the heretics, as did the remaining adventurers."
"Is that... by the way, do you know who built the Tower of Babel?"
"It's Daedalus. When I came to Oulali, it was already well-built here," Fels said.
Uranos, sitting on a huge stone throne, whispered, "I am the first gods who have arrived at the lower realm since ancient times when they entered a new stage. In order to prevent the overflowing monsters from the "dungeon" from invading the surface, they established the "lid" of the maze city with their children, together with the children, the fortress city of the maze city, the "lid" of the dungeon."
"The children of the lower world have endless possibilities," said Uranos. "The construction drawings of the Tower of Babel were designed by Daedalus himself..."
"What do you want to say?"
"Fels, not everything you get from Dix with magic," Uranus said. "The man Daedalus was smart and clever, a great craftsman who could create any craft or building. His technology contributed even to culture and civilization, and was appreciated by all the gods."
Fels listened silently.
Even later, he had heard about the deeds of the legendary figure Daedalus.
The inventions in the world are all tricks for him, and no one can match them.
"Dedalus at that time had no doubt that he was the world's number one genius, and nothing he could not do. Until he entered the dungeon, he was fascinated by the underground world at once." Uranus said, "Unlike another world on the surface, it was another work in his eyes. The more he studied it, the more he felt his own insignificance. So he began to crazily produce a work that could surpass, at least comparable to the dungeon... indulged in it, gradually became crazy, later mocked by people, and finally disappeared into history."
"Uranos, what do you want to say...?"
"If I guess correctly, what should he leave in the dungeon," said Uranus. "Even if he gets mad at the end, he is a genius. He should leave something for his whole life. You say that Dix is his descendant, so the 'curse' should be inherited from his father."
"You mean that the curse was not learned by him independently, but inherited?"
"Yes, and it was forced to inherit." Uranus' golden eyes exuded divine power. "As you said, he has no special hobbies for monsters, just for a lot of money, but what will use so much money?"
Fells suddenly realized!
"If I guess correctly, the object of the 'curse' was Dix himself, a descendant of Daedalus, from the beginning." Uranus said, "The human race has a lifespan limit. In order to continue to complete his 'work', he chose to curse his descendants."
"What a crazy person..."
“I am now sure that the changes that occur in the dungeon are indeed caused by the ‘abnormal monsters’,” Uranos said. “The utility of ‘praying’ has become weak, perhaps because of external factors that have caused it to have ‘adverse reactions’.”
As the guild's manager behind the scenes, Uranus does not deal with things about adventurers.
Those are the affairs of the guild staff.
And his responsibility is to manage the dungeon.
