There was no doubt that this was the Temple of Light.
Mayfair looked at the road behind her subconsciously. Behind her was the trial road. But at this moment, she could no longer see the thick fog that had obstructed them.
She felt that she had not walked for a long time. In her impression, the time spent on the trial road seemed to be about the same as the time spent on the normal road up the mountain to enter the Temple of Light to worship.
But how could this be?
This was really the trial road. In the village, the villagers were forbidden to come in contact with it. Other than the forbidden area outside, it was the most dangerous place.
Just as Mayfair was distracted, she felt her arm was suddenly pulled by someone. Then, her body moved to the side. It was Luoqiu.
"Don't talk. Someone is coming."
Boss Luo pulled Mayfair to the side and hid. Then, he looked outside. Behind a stone pillar.
There were many patterns carved on the pillar. It looked more like a totem pillar.
At this moment, Mephistopheles was shocked and also stuck his head out. He saw that there were indeed two figures not far away. At this moment, they were walking around the outer walls of the temple. "They are the temple's guards, especially the one on the left. His name is Malik. He is very powerful and is the captain of the temple's guards. Fortunately, they did not discover us. Otherwise, we would be in trouble. "
Mephistopheles patted his chest lightly and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It looks like they are just patrolling." Boss Luo took a few more glances and smiled. "Let's wait for them to leave before we find a way in."
They were too close. Mayfair was a little nervous. In her memory, she had never been so close to a vision.
But at this moment, the captain of the Temple of Light suddenly pointed at the place where Boss Luo and Mayfair were hiding. He said in a deep voice, "Who is hiding there?"
Mayfair was shocked. She instinctively wanted to move back. But at this moment, Boss Luo suddenly pressed on her shoulder and shook his head.
Mayfair was shocked. Boss Luo gestured for her to keep quiet, indicating for her to continue watching.
At this time, the guard drew his weapon and tentatively walked toward the stone pillar. But before he could take two steps, the guard captain behind him suddenly launched a sneak attack.
The sharp blade easily pierced through the player's body from behind.
"Captain Malik … you …?"
The team member did not manage to struggle much … His mouth was even covered by the captain of the guards, Malik. In the end, after a few struggles, his body went limp and fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Mayfair desperately covered his mouth with both hands, afraid that he would make a sound out of fear.
It was just that she was really scared, and her body couldn't help but tremble … But in the end, she didn't move, and even the sound of her breathing was forcibly stopped.
Soon, after killing the team member with a sneak attack, the captain of the guards, Malik, quickly looked around. Then, he directly carried the body of the team member and quickly walked in through the back door of the temple.
…
"He … he, he, he, Captain Malik … he, he, he … he …"
She was really scared and couldn't speak clearly. She tightly grasped the clothes on Boss Luo's arm, and her beautiful face was as white as paper.
"I saw it too." Boss Luo looked at Mayfair, "Deep breaths, three times."
Mayfair subconsciously took deep breaths. It didn't take three breaths, but only two breaths, and her emotions were slightly stabilized. "Why did Captain Malik kill him?!"
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Why did you escape from the tribe?"
Mayfair said without thinking, "To avoid being a sacrifice. Because the current god is fake, and it is actually a monster that eats people … Could it be?!"
"Do you still want to go in?"
"I …" Mayfair's expression changed slightly. She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "I want to go in! If Captain Malik is really doing this for the monster in the temple, I have to expose him. Otherwise, in the village, more people will be harmed … I can't just watch! Evidence, I need evidence to expose them. "
"Even if the people in the village want to use you as a sacrifice?"
Mayfair shook her head and said, "Of course I hate those who insist on using me as a sacrifice … But there are other people, and the children in the village, they don't know anything … Do you want me to hate them too? Do you want me to hate some people, but not care about the people I like? I can't do it! "
"But you did want to escape … and you have been escaping all this time." Boss Luo said indifferently, "We found you in the forest. You were on the way to escape, and you were injured."
Mayfair smiled bitterly and said, "I admit that I am weak … But just now, when I saw Captain Malik kill people, I actually wanted to save him. But because I was scared … I didn't even dare to move. "
She hugged her body tightly, "I saw Captain Malik take out his weapon … If, if I made a little movement or made a sound to alarm them, maybe Captain Malik wouldn't have succeeded. I told myself that, but I couldn't do it. The one who killed people was Captain Malik, but I, who didn't save him, was also … also an accomplice. "
"You have to understand that if you made a warning, you will also be in danger." Boss Luo said slowly, "You are not an accomplice, you are just protecting yourself. When people are in danger, they will protect themselves. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Mayfair took a deep breath and said, "But it is not something to be proud of … I think, I really shouldn't run away anymore. Thank you for sending me here. I will walk the rest of the way by myself … There is no need to involve you and your friends in this danger. "
"In that case, let's go in." Boss Luo stood up and extended his hand to Mayfair.
"But you … you …" Mayfair moved her lips and asked softly, "Why are you helping me?"
"We are now adventurers." Boss Luo smiled and said, "Since we are adventurers, we naturally have to take risks. Don't look at me like this, I should be quite powerful. "
She reached out her hand subconsciously and felt that it was a hand that brought her warmth and peace of mind.
But just as Mephistopheles was about to touch him, she suddenly retracted her hand. Instead, she pressed down on her knees and slowly stood up. She took deep breaths again and again until her emotions were completely stabilized. Then, she said seriously, "Okay, let's go in together."
Although he was surprised, Luoqiu did not say anything.
He turned to look at the back door of the temple. "If we go in from the back door, we might be discovered … Is there any other entrance?"
But at that moment, Mayfair suddenly pushed out her palms. She seemed to be chanting something … Instantly, a soft green light covered Boss Luo's body.
He quickly fell to the ground.
Mayfair quickly went forward and supported Luoqiu. Then, she gently placed him behind a pillar. "Thank you … But this is something I have to face. You wait here for your friends."
She looked at the sleeping face in front of her and subconsciously reached out to touch it.
However, his fingertips paused for a moment. Separated by a thin layer of air, Mephistopheles slowly took a deep breath and whispered, "Even if I encounter any danger, when I wake up, it will still be today … I will forget."
She sighed and then suddenly stood up. With a wave of her hand, the weeds began to grow wildly and covered Boss Luo's body.
After that, Mayfair unsheathed the sword at her waist. In a flash, she was already at the back door of the temple … She gently pushed open the door and leaned in.
At that moment.
Behind the totem pillar, the lush weeds were slowly degenerating … degenerating to their original state.
Boss Luo, who was sleeping, had opened his eyes.
…
…
This was a maze, a 100% maze … The most common type of maze in the game Hero Versus the Evil Dragon.
The dim passageway, the gloomy stone walls and floor, the seemingly endless forks in the road … and then there was the treasure chest monster.
Doctor Gerles looked at the treasure chest that was biting his palm with all his might and looked at Mr. Snakel expressionlessly. "You said that the second level doesn't need to fight, it's just a maze."
Before this, they had encountered several waves of Maze Monsters — the battle was not very fierce, and the danger level of the monsters was completely within the range they could bear.
However, when they cleared the Minotaur Guard, they consumed too much physical strength, so the battle was not fierce, but fatigue had spread.
At this moment, Mr. Snaff probably felt a little embarrassed, so he silently pushed away the treasure chest beast that was biting Dr. Gilles' hand. Then, he chopped down with his sword and killed it.
Then, he threw a bottle of Recovery Potion to Dr. Görs, "Drink it when your life is almost gone. Don't waste it."
"Tsk." Dr. Görs disdainfully slapped the Recovery Potion back. He took out a bottle, twisted it open and drank it … He had a lot of Recovery Potions.
Not only him, but Tina and Snève also had some good ones — these were the spoils of war that they picked up after a lost temporary captain.
Dr. Görs just felt that Snève's behavior of using flowers to worship Buddha was too shameless.
But then again, they had gone through the first level of the guards, and now they had entered the second level of the maze. However, they did not encounter the lost temporary captain along the way.
This was something that everyone had no choice but to do. The temporary captain was actually still at the back.
"Could it be that they have retreated and returned to the starting point to wait for us?" Dr. Görs had to make such a guess, and it was easy for the other two to agree with him.
However, they had already gone deep into the second level of the maze. It was unrealistic to just leave like this.
"Doctor, have you thought of a way to leave this maze?" Miss Maid seemed to have a strong confidence in Dr. Görs. She was not worried at all at this time and asked quite easily.
Dr. Görs snorted twice and said indifferently, "Almost. After a few more passages, we should be able to completely find the pattern of this maze … Speaking of which, although this [Chessboard] world is incredible, the level of civilization in this world is not high. The construction level of this maze is naturally not high."
— Damn it … Why does this path seem to have been walked before? Why does every path look the same?
"That's good." Tina nodded and did not speak.
"Let's continue, Snève." Dr. Görs thought at this time and suddenly said, "Since you have nothing to contribute, just carve a mark on the wall so that I can find the pattern."
Mr. Snève sneered directly at this time.
Tina had to whisper to Dr. Görs quietly, "Doctor, he started to carve a mark on the wall not long after he came in."
"When did this happen? Why didn't I notice it?" Dr. Görs could not help but feel surprised.
Miss Maid said, "Doctor, you were leading the way in front, so you didn't notice it … But I noticed that we didn't encounter the mark left by Snève, which proves that we didn't go in circles. Doctor, you're so good!"
"Child's play." Dr. Görs shrugged, "I stopped playing this maze game before I took the first sip of blood."
— Oh … So this path has not been walked before. Fortunately, it's fine.
The passage was very quiet, so the conversation between the two naturally fell into Snève's ears … He simply shook his head and walked to the corner, using his weapon to carve a mark on the wall.
But just as he was about to leave, Mr. Snève's face suddenly changed slightly … He suddenly touched the wall and rubbed his palm on the wall.
"What are you doing?" Dr. Görs walked over in confusion, but he saw Snève rubbing the wall harder and harder.
Not long after, in the place where Snève rubbed, there was a mark on the wall that had been there for some years … This was obviously not the mark that Mr. Snève had just carved.
"It should be the mark made by the testees who entered the maze before." Miss Maid thought for a while.
"No …" Mr. Snève was shocked at this time, "This is … the mark made by Geralt!"
"What did you say?" Dr. Görs was startled, "The mark made by your servant … Are you sure?"
"I won't be wrong!" Mr. Snève said excitedly, "Only Geralt can use this symbol. He said that this is the ancient language of his people, the language of [Asgard]. This symbol should mean [direction]. "
"The ancient language …" Dr. Görs frowned at this time, "So, the wound on the back of the bull-headed guard in the first level was also left by your former servant, that is to say …"
"Mayfair is lying!"
The three of them said in unison.
