Chapter 27 Chapter 23 The Maze

Yundi raised his head and looked at this dark palace, as if he had come to a great ancient religious temple that had sunk into the night. For some reason, this magnificent building was built in this dark, cold and endless underground.She could see the reliefs on the square feet of the huge pillars, the arched beams extending into the dark dome, and on the dome paintings that seemed to be sunken in the shadow of the deep sea, some mythical figures that only existed in ancient legends were flying with.This is not a building seen in the New Era, it is from the fallen Old Era.In the underground, it is possible to see the remnants of the era of fire, magic and swords that only existed in mythology. As strange as an angel.

Now there was a dragon looking at her curiously in front of her, smoke slowly drifting from its mouth opened in surprise.Born underground, it must have never seen a human woman. This young dragon, who is only about 80 years old, looks at Yundi like a mermaid from the sea... I hope it doesn't like to eat fish. The sound of footsteps sounded like heavy drums in the spacious and secluded hall.Three tall figures came out from the darkness deep in the hall.Yundi saw that they were all wearing black heavy demon battle armor and fang-faced beast helmets. Every step they took seemed to smash the thousand-year-old black stone ground.

Two people came to stand in front of her, but one stopped not far away.Yundi knew that he was watching her from a distance, and the man's eyes touched her body, which made her feel a strange emotion. "It's been a long time since I've seen a Siang woman, has I?" Suddenly a loud voice exploded in front of me, and it was extremely deafening in the empty and quiet hall like a thousand-year-old shipwreck. Yundi still understands.A name came to her mind, and fear seemed to force her to bow her head.This voice is referring to human beings as Siang people. This is an ancient name from ancient times. At that time, human beings lived together with demons on the earth. Now, in the dictionary of human races, other races have long been excluded. people" group.

"But this little girl seems to be frightened by us." The other voice was older and more generous, and Yundi guessed that it was another powerful enemy in the future, Yang Tekrida, although he seemed to be the least vicious of the demons Yes, but also the most difficult to defeat. "What's going on on the ground now? I really want to go up again and see for myself." Zigzarit laughed. "Is this woman the woman who knows the future destiny?" "It's like this." Dake Zhaowu's voice sounded, Yundi couldn't see him here, he was standing far away in the darkness.Demons can see things in the dark, but Yundi is completely unaware of the existence of other demons. Perhaps in the distance of this hall, there are hundreds of demons standing watching her.Like chorus singers on a gigantic opera stage, they never step into the center of the performance.

"Actually, someone told us about you. It is said that the history of the future came to an abrupt end when our army and Siang human paladin Kant confronted the city of Kilogo..." Zigzalit issued Huge laughter, "I'd like to believe it's true, at least I, the Idels, are back on the ground. And once I'm back on the ground, you know... there will be nothing to stop this mighty Lions!" I have never mentioned the details of the future war to any demons... Yundi thought in surprise, even if it is if and if, she only knows that I will kill Kant to prevent the resurrection of the demon king. Feeling the gaze cast from the eyes of the person behind Zigzalit and Jan Tecrida, the gaze actually made her feel familiar, as if it came from a person who had been with him day and night...

"But I absolutely believe what that person said, otherwise I wouldn't believe anything about fate!" Zigzarit said, "I also know that you are an unusual Siang woman, so you are so embarrassed. I think my hunters are a little rude, you go and change this rag on your body and take a bath, and then wait for your judgment..." Zigzarit turned and left after speaking, and Yan Tecrida followed . At this time, the third person who was standing behind Zigzalit and Jan Tecrida was standing face to face with Yundi. Yundi knew that that gaze reminded her of someone, but her heart was Can't believe it.

The magic army took Yundi to the garden of the side hall, where there was a geothermal hot spring. The magic army untied her, pushed her into the pool and left without fear of her escape. Yundi poked his head out of the water to look around. The garden was full of dead trees without sunlight. It seemed that the hall really sank from the ground, and the light source came from the lava flowing from the mountain wall outside the palace wall. , making the garden look strange.It seemed that there was no one around, but Yundi would not dream of escaping from Zigzarit with the magic lock around her neck. The only thing she could do was to enjoy the rare warmth of these months.

In the water mist, she slowly sorted out her mood, and was surprised to find that she no longer had any fear in her heart. The fear of death and the punishment of the demons had already been numb during the process of being taken underground. As a person who can predict the future, My own future has turned into a nightmare in the dark. The person I admired was a weak man ten years ago. He tried his best but couldn't stop the wheel of fate from advancing. He thought he could overcome everything for love, but he was in the center of failure and humiliation. Despondent... Let the future go to hell, I've had enough... Yundi thought, immersing herself deeply in the water: even if she was cut into pieces in a short while, now she doesn't want to be tortured by thoughts anymore.

It seemed to be completely forgotten by the world. After a long time, there was no menacing footsteps of demon soldiers, and everything was as quiet as if there had never been demons living underground.Is all this a dream?Yundi thought, I am isolated thousands of miles underground, the earth and the sun, the noise of the city are so far away, maybe, I am already dead... The scene in front of me is really like hell, but... hell is so comfortable Yeah, she laughed to herself, stretching herself in the water.If time really forgot her, she would swim forever in this pool and become a fish... The loud noise sounded at this moment!Suddenly something huge jumped out of the water below her, splashing a huge splash, it jumped to the shore, and disappeared in the hallway of the hall in two hits.Yundi was still in shock. She believed that it was a huge fish with vicious sharp scales, but it had strong four claws.Immediately afterwards there was another whistling sound from the water, Yundi dodged to the side, and this time it was a demon who jumped out.

"Bastard! That fish..." he yelled in Idel, his voice very young. "Hush—keep your voice down...you woke up the bones in the grave!" Then another young man jumped out. They didn't seem to notice Yundi, maybe it was because of the fish.Yundi huddled by the pool and watched in amazement. She was very familiar with the armor they were wearing, it was the Son of Darkness. "So, these hot springs are indeed interconnected, but it's still really hard to drill through..." "Shut up! Don't call me 'so' again! I hate the high priest, is there a more uneducated guy in the world? I said I would call me Mindus!" The one who looked like "so" The guy couldn't help shouting again.

"Minds, have you heard that if you are beaten up by the leader of the legion, you can't even crawl? If you sneak into the guardian temple and get caught, we will be even more unable to crawl out than him!" "But the bet between us is more important, isn't it? I said that I have a way to pass through this mountain wall and enter the Guardian Temple, right, Campbemis, it will be convenient to see Huerdua from now on! And you You must keep your promise and you will never fight with me for her!" "Next time I won't bet on my crush. But my next bet is that she won't talk to you!" "Wait a minute, what is that? There are people in the water!" "Is that a fish?" When Yundi heard what they said, she immediately dived into the depths of the hot spring. The muddy sand turned up in the depths of the water, and it turned out that a hole leading to the water channel outside had just been dug.She prayed that the waterway would not be too long so that she would not suffocate in the water. At the same time, at the entrance of the hot spring in the temple, Mindus and Campbemis heard a sullen female voice. "You two, why are you here!" A female demon general wearing soft armor and a light robe stood there, holding a women's robe in her hand. "Hurduya!" Both of them grinned at the same time, "We're coming to see you! Are you coming to take a bath?" "You are crazy! Where did you come in from? Oh, what about the Siang women?" Huerduya rushed to the pool. Yundi's lungs were about to explode, but the bottom of the water only became wider and wider, but she kept bumping into rock walls when she went upstream. It seemed that she was lost in an underground river. A three-person-long strange fish slowly swam past her, and Yundi quickly followed. When she finally came out of the water, breathing wildly for the air, she suddenly found a female witch standing on the bank watching her. "I came here specially to deliver clothes to you." Huerduya walked to the edge of the water, holding her flying dragon with one hand. Yundi walked in the guardian temple again, which was so big that there was no limit. After walking for a long time in the dark corridor, Huerduya led her into a side hall. The man was sitting there waiting for her. "Master Lian Lei Zhen Legion Commander, I am Hu Erduya, the deputy general of the Flying Dragon Army, and I brought the female prisoner for you." "Understood." The man said, his voice was not as loud as Zigzalit, nor as old as Yang Tekrida, it was faint, and it was Yundi's familiar voice. Hu Erduya bowed and retreated, and it seemed that there were only two people left in the huge hall. They were silent for a long time, and it was Yundi who spoke first. "Duris..." "It's Huayou Bingsi, the leader of the Lightning Thunder Legion." This name sounds better than Dulis, Yundi thought, and at the same time was surprised that he could think wildly at this time. "In the future I know, there is no such thing..." Yundi whispered. "Maybe the future is not destined..." Huayou Bingsi stood up, walked a few steps towards the side of the hall, and looked into the darkness. "Why would you..." "Because back then, I thought I could escape the war." "What now?" "I'm back to my destiny..." Huayou Bingsi breathed out, "Are you willing to serve my Idel tribe?" "No!" "Will you beg for your life?" Yundi was silent for a while: "No..." "You have the right to say a reason to avoid death before the judgment of the underground law..." "I..." Yundi lowered his head, and finally said, "I can't think of..." "How I wish I could make you surrender," Huayou Bingsi said with a sigh, "I know you are afraid...you want to live, but you just can't find a reason to live...me too ...I can't find a reason either..." "Let's judge." Yundi said, but his head was still lowered. "Look up and look at me." Huayou Bingsi said. No, Yundi thought, no, looking into his eyes, I will no longer be strong, and I will cry, maybe I will lose my courage and collapse to the ground.God, if you can see through the darkness to the underground, please give me the courage to go through this period. "Okay." Huayou Bingsi also looked at her, "This is the attitude we should have between the two races. We will all die. In the future, my destination may be the battlefield. After the death of the human race, God will take them to heaven, and The demons will be tortured in hell forever! Hahahaha, hahahaha! Then let our souls never meet." His voice suddenly became arrogant, and his laughter was no different from all the devils. He strode into the darkness and left Yundi alone. "death penalty!" Yundi suddenly felt that his body was shattered, and it fell to the ground piece by piece, shattered into powder. At this time, Kant was standing under the sunlight on the ground, among the crowd, looking at the tall and magnificent royal castle in front of him, and the warriors with infinite water stood beside him. "If everything is true, then I don't need to do anything, just stand here and wait to see how fate pushes me to the position of paladin...Is that so?" Kant said with a wry smile. "If I had hands, I would definitely beat you hard!" The head cursed in the cloth bag behind his back. "Before he becomes a paladin, let's beat him up first! There will be very few opportunities like this in the future." Reed said that getting along with the future paladin these days has long since wiped out his sense of awe. "Don't make noise, the big contest is about to begin!" Said Xitan, looking up. In the square in front of the crowd, two rows of royal musicians played their trombones. The castle built of white stone shone like jade in the sun, and the royal family of the Yiya Dynasty appeared on the tower. King Aygu wore his new red gilded royal robe today, and polished the crown a hundred times so that the people's eyes would shine when he appeared on the tower.When he walked out of the gate, tens of thousands of people appeared in front of him, and the people who came from all over the world gave cheers when the announcer finally appeared on the stage, and knights from all over the world bowed down to him under the flags and emblems of various colors. He was fascinated, as if he saw his own future, the continent had been unified under his feet, all the kingdoms bowed down to him, he felt that he had become a tall stone statue, standing taller than the one of Van Keldel. But all of this must start with a premise, a knight who is loyal to him must win today's contest and become the chief general of the New Silver Moonlight Huajun.However, Ayigu has great confidence in the warriors of Yiya. If the Yiya dynasty with the largest population in Xinghan has no one who can conquer the world with strength, then neither will other small countries. "Subjects, brave and virtuous knights from all over the world, today is a day that you will never forget in your life. The silver moon that inspired us in the legend and showed our courage and strength will shine again after this day. Hundreds of thousands of warriors from all over the world have lined up, waiting for the hero who will lead them!" Ayigu raised his voice and shook his body excitedly, "The selection of the strongest knights has been held in various venues for several months. It's going on. Today, this hero will be selected among the last and best ten knights. They will have the most exciting contest in history. The one who stands proudly on the horse at the end will be Ruo Xinghan's new hero! He Will swear allegiance to God Cass, lead this powerful army to defend the faith and our sacred morality, eradicate all greed and evil deeds, help the weak and weak countries that cannot sustain themselves in the evil storm, and establish a harmonious and orderly people A continent where people obey morality." "My God, it sounds like the finalists have been decided? But we've only just arrived!" Reed shouted in disappointment, his voice unnoticed amidst the din. "Ahuayi is a liar, he said that he will recommend us to Ayigu after he enters the palace... I mean, he is our leader, Knight Kant, but now that he is gone, there is no longer even half a figure. It hasn't appeared before." Amos also cursed angrily. "Wait, maybe Kant's name will be included in the final list." Reed said. Kant was not surprised by all this. Ahuayi was really stupid enough to recommend a knight he had never seen before. King Ayigu was really stupid enough to include him in the finals of the martial arts competition. Can't stand the blow of any knight, let alone with this invisible face, he really can't imagine any possibility that can make him the leader of Yinyue Guanghua, the Kant in Yundi's story because With the help of the devil's power, he became a paladin. Now the devil has shed his shell, and under the radiant armor, there is only a decayed body left.Hearing Ayigu's words, the uneasiness in his heart faded away instead, and he felt a sense of relief that he had escaped responsibility.Look, it's not that I don't want to be a paladin to save the world, God really didn't give me a chance.Kant thought this in his heart, and then he was strongly counterattacked by his own soul that might still exist. So many people have gone through danger for him, and Yundi is still alive and dead, but he just shrinks back.But in such a situation, how should he fight for it? The horn sounded again, "The ten knights who participated in the election have appeared!" Sitan shouted. The gate of the castle was opened, and ten knights dressed in gorgeous cloth robes even on their horses raised their shining spears and stepped out in two rows. Their appearance and equestrian skills aroused applause from the crowd. This is the real protagonist, the object of attention, and I don't think I will ever be able to reach the status like them.Kant thought, the future will belong to them, and one of them will become famous in the first battle today and become a legend in the world, a future warrior, a name that appears most often in history, and a hero most admired by children in folk tales by the fireside.Oh, that's not me, why am I still standing here.Kant suddenly wanted to take off the armor and let the sun burn him to death. "Look, isn't Ahuayi the third one on the left? You bastard, use our quota for yourself!" Reid shouted, pointing at the knights who were lining up at both ends of the arena. Kant knew that Reed was just talking nonsense. As the head of the Royal Knights, Ahuayi was naturally the object of Ayigu's hope. He should have such a position, and he had no obligation to fight for another one for Kant.Besides, even if there is, it is just another chance to lose face and fail. This time the horn rang for the third time, and a knight in brown armor riding a red-robed horse rode out from the castle gate. "That's the Duke of Bismarck, Ayigu's uncle, and the old commander of Yiyajun. He should be the host of today's competition." Aristine said. "Let's go home, Mr. Shining Armor, you got tricked, didn't you?" Kant didn't look back, he didn't know if he would be angry again, he knew that he was insignificant in these people's hearts, he had no power to make them respect him, people would only respect useful people, and he was not as good as he was Paladin battle armor is valuable, anyone around him will be more majestic than him if he wears it. But anger still arose in his heart, he knew what was driving him, and he suddenly urged the war horse Blue Moonlight forward.For the ending of the seemingly ridiculous future, for the dignity of a man who has died but still gets angry, for the girl Yundi who once cast hopeful eyes on him, even if he will die in the arena immediately, I still have to shout out at the last moment when my ideal is gone: "Wait for me!" The voice yelled out of Kant's mouth, and it was so loud that he surprised himself, as if there were people around him responding. "The contest without me is meaningless!" Kant was startled again by such bold words, and he wanted to cover his mouth, because it seemed a bit self-assertive.But then it was discovered that it did not come from his mouth. The host, Duke Bismarck, and Ayigu on the castle frowned, looking at the uninvited guests who rushed out. "Excuse me, distinguished guest, why do you interfere with this grand event so rudely?" Bismarck frowned his golden eyebrows. "It turns out that King Aygu invited our knights from all over the world to come here just to observe the performance of the knights of Yiya? Could it be that there is no contest where knights from other countries participate, and the final winner dares to call himself the number one warrior in the world?" the leader A black-robed man with eagle-like eyes. Bismarck looked at their flag emblem: "Congratulations to the Stukanda family from Agia. This may be the Earl of Morowan, and behind you are your three sons who are famous for their bravery? Of course, We welcome any knight to participate in this tournament, but you must pass the preliminary examination. Have you seen the big stone castle on the mountain over there? That is our warrior training ground. Any knight who can enter and pass through When it returns to the arena, he has the right to participate in the challenge." The crowd started to make noise, and many knights who rushed out after Mo Ruowang looked back. On a hill beside the palace, a huge white stone castle was crouching like a giant beast, opening its mouth wide to the heroes. "What you said is true?" Some knights couldn't hold back and began to steer their horses.There was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and all those who wanted to become famous in one fell swoop, those who were brave, and those who watched the excitement formed a tide and rushed towards the hillside. "Let's go!" Reed also said excitedly, as if he saw the hope of replacing Kant. "Oh..." Xitan, Amos and Reed also cheered. "It's really unfair...Why didn't you elect a magician to lead the army?" Aristine said angrily, "History will be written by a group of simple-minded guys with strong limbs." "Please pay attention to the notice at the door!" Bismarck shouted loudly, "Everyone who enters will be regarded as willing to bear the consequences of death!" "Who are you bluffing? He thought it was the maze of Fang Wangkes (Fang Wangkes, one of the most terrifying dark mages in the old era, he made a maze to protect his magical treasures. After his death, the maze It became a forbidden place even if no one controlled it, and one of the Eighteen Knights of the Field died in this maze in order to seek the medicine to break the poison for his companions)." Reid said with a pouted. "Nothing can stop the warrior of infinite water, go forward!" Amos shouted at the top of his voice, and his loud voice caused many men to coax him. The crowd rushed towards the hillside, and only a few of the helmeted knights did not move, including Kant and Mo Ruowang. Mo Ruowang shook his red beard and sneered: "I believe there are not many people who can pass through the dangerous stone castle today, but there are really not many people who still have the strength to challenge the Yiya warrior immediately after that." Lord Bismarck, I believe I have come to a country that is good at calculation." Bismarck's smiling expression didn't change at all: "So are you scared, Mr. Morowan?" Mo Ruowang's eyes became fierce: "Let's go!" He turned his horse and took his three sons away. Kant still stood there quietly. "Don't you want to go in and take a look, my cowardly master?" the head asked from behind him. The warriors of the downcast mercenary group also ran towards the stone castle while looking back at Kant. Aristine stood beside Kant and smiled: "Hey, boy, don't worry, I will be by your side..." Suddenly Kant shook the reins violently, and Reid felt the wind blowing across his face, and the blue moonlight rushed out, sweeping across the running crowd, like a fast leopard chasing a herd of running bulls, not bothering to catch it. The weak ones around him chased after the riders in the front.He passed by the Mo Ruowang family, and almost knocked down several other flag emblems. Many people stood still and looked at the galloping rider in amazement, and there was a burst of cheers from the crowd. The warriors opened their mouths wide to watch Kant gallop past them. Reed sighed: "I have to say, he still has a bit of momentum when he is stunned sometimes." "Who is that?" King Ayigu looked at the knight in shining armor amidst the dust and smoke in surprise. Kashuli narrowed his eyes beside Ayigu. Kant was the first to rush into the gate of the stone fortress with an indomitable momentum, and even the soldiers guarding the fortress raised their hands to him in admiration. As soon as he entered the stone castle, Kant shouted: "Stop! Broken horse! You are going to hit the wall, help me, I'm dizzy! Let me down!" "Master, please be better, if you are half as strong as the horse you are riding, I will have more face." The head sighed in the backpack. The blue moonlight ran through several curved corridors, raised hooves and neighed in front of a stone wall carved with statues, and stopped. Kant fell from behind the horse's ass. "No one saw it..." He stood up unsteadily and asked the first sentence. "Strange, there are so many people following in, but now no one can be seen. This stone castle is really a labyrinth." The head said. "This stone castle is weird. After a few turns, the people who came in with us just disappeared..." Reed said in another place. "Hear those noises?" Reed said. "Like stones moving." "Yes, someone is controlling them," Sitan said, "so that they can make the road change at any time and separate people." "If this is the case, can they even control who can go out and who can't? Just lead people they don't like to dangerous areas, or simply keep them from going out for a lifetime..." Xitan said. "They just need to keep us from turning out today, and the contest will be over tomorrow. We can only catch up with the applause," Reed said. And Amos didn't say anything, he was pushing the stone wall beside him.On the other side of the stone wall, there were faint screams. The High Priest of Litian Temple, Kashuli, strode into a hall in the inner palace of the castle, where many mages and officials were already waiting for him. "This is the latest distribution of people in the castle reported to us by the monitors on the top of the castle." An official held a pile of blueprints and placed chess pieces on the huge maze model on the table. "Everything is going well. people are being led to monsters and advanced magic areas." "All those who may break through to the third area must be led to the advanced magic area. You must know that the real big threat is often hidden in those who are not on the list," Kashouli said, "By the way, there are A knight in silver armor on a white horse, where is he now?" "For such an eye-catching guy, of course he should be sent to the archery area first." When Kant finally waited until the stone wall in front of him was removed, some corpses that had been shot into shape had already fallen on the ground in front of him. "It's too scary. It's really the selection of death. Before fighting the magic army, he died in his own maze." Kant said. "These are just some stupid and desperadoes from different countries. It doesn't matter how much you die," said the head. "Maybe I can take this opportunity to get a body..." Kant rode his horse forward and shouted, "Wait! What do you want to do? Didn't you see how those guys died? There are arrow holes everywhere." "I don't care, anyway, I am destined to be a future paladin..." "I don't care! Is there my name in the future history? Is it because I was shot here?" The head was about to cry. "Okay, I'm afraid of you." Kant took off the head and tried to stuff it into the armor. "That's about the same." "Oh, it's too troublesome." Condeser changed his mind after he couldn't get in for a long time. He shook his hand and threw his head towards the opposite stone wall. "Ah—" the head whirled in the air, and countless arrows shot out from the arrow holes, passing around the head, "I will remember you, Lord Paladin, when you become a famous person, I will show you to others Accuse your true colors!" After the head yelled these words, it also slammed into the stone wall on the other side, and the stone wall moved away. "My face is swollen... You bastard, I've never seen this kind of rascal, scoundrel..." The head whirled on the ground and cried. At this moment, Kant took a deep breath, shook the reins, and the blue moonlight shot out immediately. Thousands of arrows were fired on the two walls, but they all missed. Blue Moonlight is just too fast.When the arrow hit the opposite wall, Kant was already next to his head. "Without me, you and your broken horse with burning butts would have crashed to death on the stone gate, rascal...you can think of such a bad move?" The head was still cursing endlessly. "Goodbye." Kant walked to another door. "Oh, well, forget it...brother, I was just joking, master!"
