To be honest, Sui Xiong's new Rye Fortress was not very beautiful, at least from the outside.
Originally, the two layers of towering super city walls were indeed majestic and spectacular. However, with the addition of the roof of the same color and material, the momentum of the wall was suddenly gone. From a distance, it looked like a huge black column on the ground. Fortunately, the top of the roof had shrunk smoothly, and there was a spire at the top. If the roof was a little rounder and a little bigger …
Sui Xiong had originally planned to design it like this, but after he came up with the design, he felt that something was wrong. He looked left and right, but he could not find the problem. However, the feeling that something was wrong was getting stronger and stronger. In the end, he simply made a miniature model the size of a palm, and then he understood what the problem was.
What the f * ck! This thing was simply the "stick to the sky" of the so-called "folk culture"!
As an art student, Sui Xiong lacked a lot of knowledge that ordinary university students should have, but he also knew a lot of knowledge that ordinary universities would never teach. For example, he knew that in many areas of the world where the culture was still relatively primitive, they still maintained the worship of sex. Things like "Twin Breasts Mountain" and "Stick to the Sky" were regarded as unharmonious and unhealthy in developed areas, but in those areas, they were objects of worship.
Sui Xiong did not discriminate against this kind of culture, but he absolutely did not want to practice it himself.
When he thought that the future generations might compare him with Steele because of this "Stick to the Sky Fortress", he felt a toothache.
Even though he actually had no teeth.
If he felt a toothache without teeth, it could be seen how serious the problem was.
Therefore, Sui Xiong finally chose to make the overall shape of the fortress like a sharp thorn pointing to the sky, which was also a choice made under desperation.
This shape was really not very powerful, so he had to put more effort into the interior design.
So Sui Xiong started to work.
First, he designed the inside of the fortress as a nine twist and eighteen loop maze. Unless it was an internal personnel who had the right to use the secret passage, it would take a long time to pass through the fortress, even if they had a map.
Of course, this was a very effective method, but he still needed to do some other work to prevent people from knocking on the door.
When he played tabletop games before he traveled to this world, Sui Xiong had met a group of players called "knocking on the door." When they encountered a maze or a puzzle in a mission, they would never honestly follow the instructions. Instead, they tended to use some simple and crude methods to solve the problem.
For example, someone designed a quest: A certain village chief felt uneasy about the large number of goblins in a nearby cave, and hoped to recruit a group of warriors to annihilate them. As a reward, he would give a few magic scrolls from his collection to the heroes who annihilated the goblin tribe.
According to the thoughts of ordinary people like Sui Xiong, of course, everyone would tidy up their equipment, bring along their supplies, and then go into the cave to fight with the Goblins. Once the Goblins were eliminated, they would come back for the prizes. But the door-smashing group wouldn't do that. When Sui Xiong participated in this game, he saw several door-smashing players block the cave with a number of big stones, and then pour smoke into the cave through the cracks of the stones. Following the smoke, they found the cave's vents and blocked them one by one.
They brought enough stones to block up all the entrances to the cave, and then went about their other business. About a month later, they returned to this place, opened the blocked cave, and saw the corpses of goblins all over the ground.
These unlucky monsters had died of thirst. Although they could rely on killing each other and eating the flesh of their own kind to obtain food, in a situation where there was food but no water, they actually died faster than not eating or drinking …
So the task was completed. Apart from consuming some physical strength and time, the door-smashing group didn't consume anything else, and easily got the reward.
Sui Xiong was stunned at that time, and later learned a lot of door-smashing tactics.
For example, there was a treasure house in front, but the door was locked. What should they do?
Ordinary people's thinking was to find the key to open the door, or let the thief try to open the lock. The door-smashing group's approach was to directly smash the door — because this method was so classic, it came to be called "door-smashing group."
Then, when they encountered a maze, what should they do?
Ordinary people's approach was for the thief to carefully explore the way, and everyone else to move forward while making a map and exploring cautiously. The door-smashing group's approach was to directly smash the wall and go straight through the maze.
Other than that, there was no need to elaborate on all kinds of situations. All in all, door-smashing group was full of vitality and action, but it was an existence that troubled anyone who designed mazes and tasks.
Of course, Sui Xiong also had to prevent door-smashing group from causing trouble, so he specially strengthened the walls of the maze inside the fortress. Want to smash through the wall? If you have the ability, then this stronghold is nothing to you.
Of course, according to his test results, a conservative estimate was that to be able to smash through the wall, one had to basically be at the high legendary level.
The high legendary level was not cabbage in the field, in the entire Main Plane, it could probably be counted with one hand. Therefore, Sui Xiong didn't have to worry about a wild high legendary jumping out of nowhere and causing him any trouble.
In this case, this maze was as stable as Mount Tai.
(… It's better not to boast so much. In my impression, people who boast like this will generally be slapped in the face by reality.)
Sui Xiong looked at the maze built completely with black rocks, smiled, and wiped away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then began to decorate it.
Question: What materials should be used to decorate the maze?
Answer: Of course, traps!
Although the maze itself had a certain degree of defense, it was not strong enough. After all, the maze itself could not kill people. Therefore, it needed the assistance of those things that could really cause harm to the enemy.
Those that could cause harm to the enemy were only soldiers or traps. In the future, there would definitely be soldiers stationed in the fortress, but if the traps were strong enough, they could kill some of the soldiers stationed there, and it would be easier for the soldiers to destroy the enemy in a real battle.
Therefore, Sui Xiong began to set up traps in the maze. He had set up all the traps he could think of, such as logs and rolling stones, strong crossbows and earth spikes, lightning and poisonous gas, sticky fire pillars … All sorts of traps added up to more than a thousand in this maze, which wasn't very big.
These traps were not isolated, but they were all interconnected. Most of the traps were connected to several traps, and even if the enemy escaped from one of them, they might not be able to escape the rest. Even if they were resourceful or extremely lucky, and could escape a whole set, it was too early to be happy, because the traps could automatically recover.
Anyway, after all the traps were set up, Sui Xiong had opened them, and then created a clone of himself with the physical strength of a normal person to try to break through.
In the end, even though he knew which traps to face, his clone only broke through less than one-fifth of the distance, and fell into the trap.
"Nice!" Sui Xiong retracted his clone and laughed. "This is the effect I wanted!"
