Dungeon Maker

< Chapter 33 # 2 >

After the battle to the first floor hall, Yongho embarked on the day he sent the unsuspecting 'truth’ back to the top.

Orcs, including Likum, didn't know about the depths, not only the labyrinth of greed. Goblin Rangers and GOOGs thought this battle was also part of the recovery of the 'Kaiwan Legacy’, as it has always been.

But there were limits to deception.

According to Amon and the Old Zion, from here, it was the beginning of a truly greedy maze, not a "shell." This made it possible for great facilities or artifacts to be found.

Even though Kaiwan was the most outstanding of the last few households, it did not make sense that he had achieved all of this in her lifestyle, which was actually only about a decade.

I was worried that Jun or Lycum, who was intelligent, would find out the truth.

It wasn't that I didn't trust Likum or Goblin Rangers.

But there were things in the world. Even if it were a coincidence, the existence of the Maze of Greed would put both the Dragon Horde and the Mamon family ministers in jeopardy.

The rest of the workers return to the first floor of the ground, with the exception of the prisoner horses. It is not until the passageway connecting the first floor and the first floor is securely closed that the dragon can barely find room to look around.

It was a big space.

The square space at the center of the distance was already big enough to jump the basketball game. The cool cracked straight corridor was also wide. Five or six adult men could not feel that walking alongside their shoulders was too small.

“This is the real Mamon family dungeon. ”

Ofelia does not hide her admiration. When Ophelia became curious like that, she seemed like a pure girl, not a skilled tavern mistress who had been through all the prenatal warfare.

In a certain way, it was a natural reaction.

Before the expedition began, Yongho confessed to the "truth" to the slave ministers.

The slave horses were dragons and the martyrs. Moreover, they will continue to explore the labyrinth of greed with Dragon Hoe.

That's why I confessed the truth.

I revealed the existence of the Maze of Greed to four people.

Ophelia was more excited than usual during the battle. She had heard all sorts of delusions from Father Endellion about the depths of the Mamon family. However, it was natural to be excited because he knew that the depth was a labyrinth of greed.

Eligos looked around with a reasonably impressive look. And so was Katarina. The stories I picked up while going back and forth through the Arena shook my tail without cause, even though I had known the existence of the Maze of Greed before the Dragon Confession.

The only one who remained calm was Skull. No, that calmness was too much for me to bear around on the ground. It's been a while.

“As you all know, there are plenty of dungeon monsters. There may be more of them hiding, and we have to be careful of the traps. ”

There were hardly any records of the Maze of Greed in the Mamon family's archives.

Since we had to hide the identity of the Maze of Greed, Mamon Family's previous housewives passed information about the maze to future generations by mouth only.

Of course, there was a missing record. It was delivered to the age of Kaiwan to the extent of the existence of the Maze of Greed and the fact that there were 12 ministers of Mamon somewhere deep in the depths.

Katarina and Eligos are nervous about the trap. If this were the "first floor," it would be common sense that there should be more traps. It was the first line of defense against an enemy infiltrating the dungeon.

The dragon smiles bitterly at Katarina and Eligos, who have their tails turned side-by-side as if they were expressing anxiety. In the meantime, you look back at the owner of the third tail, which is moving vigorously.

“But you don't think the traps will work, do you? ”

“Maybe. That's why the dungeons are swarming around like that. But we can't be too careless. ”

After speaking, Ofelia calmly took a breath. It was exploration, not tourism. What I needed now was not a girl with gorgeous eyes, but a skilled tavern mistress.

Eligos said.

“In addition to the nickname ‘Immortal Witch,' Skazar also has the nickname ‘Water Bottle Left'. That's how many aquatic anecdotes there are. It may be a frustrating idea, but if there is a home in Skazaha somewhere here, it's probably related to water. ”

Although few records of the Maze of Greed remained, Mamon's record of the 12 Servants was truly overwhelming. They were powerful beings who left their name in the history of the Mamon family before their time as ministers.

The legendary Skazar was a witch who dealt with water and life. Her records were always so deeply related to water that even if she started with water and ended with water, it was no exaggeration.

The dragon nods.

“Fair story. Well done, Eligos. ”

Eligos smiles favorably at the compliment of the dragon. Not as good as Catarina, but Eligos has his emotions buried in his tail.

‘I'll praise you more often in the future. ’

Yongho's determination in his heart turned to Ophelia for her opinion. But in the meantime, Skull caught my eye again. It's because the rolling of the floor was somewhat different than usual.

“Skull?”

“Skull.”

Skull rises to his feet in frustration. I still didn't understand it, but it was still a communication between Gaju and the serving horse. Yongho was able to understand what it meant.

As the dragon approaches, moss rises through the gap in the floor.

“Moss.”

Ofelia mentioned it recently, and Katarina nodded her head as she approached. The last time Eligos looked at Skull, he soon saw Dragon again.

“Moss.”

It was really moss. There was nothing unusual about it.

Yongho narrows his eyes. And I understood why Skull noticed moss.

Moss was growing only in one direction of the range.

There was no moss in the middle of the hall. There were no moss found in the other three directions. Moss only grew in one direction, and the farther away I looked, the more moss I could find.

“Bite.”

Yongho says. Skull nods, smiling.

Moss needed a little moisture to grow.

Dragon Ho thought for a moment. I raised my head and asked Lucia.

“Lucia, can you tell me which direction the water is going around where I'm standing right now? ”

[The same direction the moss is growing.]

The water on the first floor of the dungeon of House Mamon is the source of ground water. It was the same whether it was a labyrinth of greed or groundwater than the first floor. As Eligos said, if Skazaha is in a water-related location, it is likely to be near the water source.

Of course, the story could be different if you built a canal like the first floor of a dungeon and were supplying water elsewhere.

But the dragon shakes its head. It was the first floor of the basement, sealed for almost a hundred years. It was unlikely to be running properly as long as there was a waterway or other facility.

“Ofelia, what do you think of what Eligos said? ”

“I agree with my brother. Skazar is most likely to be located in a water-related area. ”

Ofelia is in a hurry. Dragon nods again. I smiled at Skull.

“Well done.”

I wasn't rolling the floor for nothing - the hind horse swallowed into my heart. Skull smiles and likes Eligos.

“Okay, let's get started, shall we? ”

The direction is set. The dragon closes its eyes and triggers the power of greed.

All you want is the Immortal Witch Skazaha.

The images were as embodied as possible. I've combined all the information I know about her.

Greed, which was stretching out everywhere, created a fork. I stretched out to the front without hesitation.

Katarina and Eligos each took out a dungeon exploring lighting fixture to illuminate the darkness. We embarked on an exploration of the greedy maze.

&

About five minutes after the expedition began, dragon hoes and mercenaries were somewhat bewildered.

The path was too simple.

It was just a straight line. There was no common fork in the road, and there was not even a corner.

It was the same for the trap I was worried about at first. The greed points only to the front, although you may see things like the entrance to a small room on either side of the middle road.

And another five minutes.

Dragon has reached the end of the hall. A door, almost as big as the width of the hallway, greets the group.

It was a large tree raised door. Ofelia and Eligos each hold the doorknob, and Katarina and Skull stand on either side of the dragon. Yongho also shaped Amon in case of danger.

I quickly looked back and forth. After Yongho nodded, Ophelia and Eligos finally exchanged their gazes.

Light pours out. Furthermore, the light overwhelms the group.

“Sunlight?”

It wasn't just light or light. Yongho spoke to me secretly, and Ophelia, who was frowning at the sudden look in the dark, snorted. It smelled like water as well as dirt. Even the fragrant smell of grass stimulated the tip of the nose.

Inside the door was a meadow. The dungeon was unimaginable.

The dragon swallows a dry saliva and takes a step inside the door.

The wind blows. The wind smells of grass.

At the height of the ceiling, which was about 30 meters, there was a sky. It was not a sky with mixed colors, but a blue sky like that of the handover.

“Biosphere? ”

An artificial ecosystem that would appear in a movie.

It's strange. I can see there's a ceiling, but the ceiling is clearly open.

So that's the artificial sun? ’

Warm sunlight poured down from a shining heap in the middle of the sky.

I never imagined I'd see anything like this in a dungeon. Yongho calms his excitement and looks around calmly.

Once wide, it was a space that looked hundreds of meters in diameter. There was real dirt on the floor, even bugs and small animals.

Katarina points to one corner with a blank face. The dragon glances back at you, blinking as well.

There was a lake. It was so big that it was never small.

And an island in the middle of the lake.

Even in spring, it was an island covered with ice as if the temperature inside was ridiculous.

Dragon has once again focused on greed. Greed, as expected, stretched out toward the ice island.

The dragon, who turned Amon back into a bracelet, took a step toward the ice island. I hesitated for a moment in front of a small wooden bridge connecting the edge of the lake and the island of ice, but soon I made a decision.

Confronting Mamon's 12 ministers brought great danger.

We did not know where the truth was, but some of the stories passed down to the Mamon family were about those who confronted Mamon's 12 ministers and did not pass the test they presented and were lost.

But Dragon did not hesitate. I believed in Amon and Guzion. I didn't know it was such a short calculation, but if Yongho really was a big risk to himself, he wouldn't have suggested that the two of them meet with Skazaha.

The island itself was not ice. The ice covered the surface of the island and a small temple similar building in the middle of the island.

The slave horses were naturally combat ready. The dragon triggered greedy greed instead of pulling out the almonds. You open your path, burning the ice.

It was as if the snow had melted. The ice that was blocking the entrance of the temple melted quickly as soon as it touched the greed's salt. It was the feeling of responding to greed itself, not heat.

Ophelia and Eligos have opened the door again. The sunlight from the sky naturally illuminated the interior of the temple.

The colorful light flashed from the colorful stained glass on the ceiling.

And under it.

A blue beauty sits on a frozen throne with her chin bent. Like everything else on the island, she was covered in ice.

Immortal witch Skazaha.

Dragon was convinced. I first saw Mamon's magic on the first floor of the Arena. The blue-haired beauty holding the water bottle. An immortal woman who never dies because of her transcendent life force.

Her eyes open. So naturally, Skazaha opens his lips in melting ice.

“Hello.”

It was just one word. And Yongho sensed that the ‘test’ had begun.

Something intense pierces through the soul itself. The dragon that closed its eyes reflectively opened its eyes again in a strange familiarity.

Everyone was down. Eligos and Katarina do not even faint on the ground, and Ofelia is in pain, crouching. Skull also stumbled on the ground and did not stand up properly.

And Skazaha blinks. I vomited a young voice filled with embarrassment.

“Huh? Are you... okay? ”

Without a second chance for Yongho to react, Skazaha releases his strength once again. Once again, something powerful has pierced through the dragon's soul, and the dragon finally realizes what it is. I also felt like I knew why Dragon Ho felt used to it.

It was an experience of death.

Skaeza has just given everyone a mental shock, as if they had experienced over a dozen deaths.

It was natural to fall. Ofelia, who had been trained in psychic magic, couldn't endure even Skull who had already experienced death.

But it was too easy for Dragon Ho.

Dragon Hoe unwittingly looks back at Amon on his right arm.

I have already experienced over three digits of the experience of death. Every time I trained with Amon, I had to die at least a dozen times.

It was a bit strange, but dragon hoes were accustomed to death.

‘You knew. ’

What Skazaha's test is.

So, not only Gu Zion, but even Amon didn't bring up the story about the exam itself.

Twice in a row - precisely dozens of similar rhetorical experiences led to the expansion of Ofelia and Skull.

Skazar looks at the dragon with a strange look and raises his hand again. Yongho hurriedly stopped such a Skazaha.

“Wait, I have something for you. Old Zion of Might - Letter from the Arena Owner. ”

I hurriedly rummaged. But the dragon stops his hand as soon as it comes out of line.

“Huh? Our own? ”

“My... baby? ”

Skaeza nods. I gave him a cool smile.

“Yes, my dear. My love.”

Dragon Hoe reminded me of the face of Gu Zion who gave me the letter in his head.

I could see why he had that look on his face.
