In the study, the lighting technique solidified in the crystal chandelier flickered with white light. After Elias pointed to the map and told little by little, Su Zhou had a general understanding of the whole world.

Tartadis is a continental world composed entirely of mountains, plains and hills. The more the edge is, the colder it is, and the center is warmer. There is no “sea” in the whole world, instead It is abundant groundwater resources.

Today, Tartadis is on the eve of destruction, and the phenomenon of the return of the magic wave is regarded as the last rebirth before the end. In addition to the major sanctuary cities on the earth, there are resurrected souls, monsters, and indulgences everywhere. Of various bandits. Except for the powerful lone rangers who are called wilderness walkers, only large chambers of commerce can shuttle between the major sanctuary cities.

Thousands of years ago, before the end, there were four great kingdoms in the world. The country of Thousand Lakes where the Neisser family is located is one of them. It is also the country with the most abundant water resources. In the entire country, there are rivers and The lakes crisscross, naturally dividing a piece of territory.

　　 And Father Earth is the supreme **** believed by all the people in this world. Except for him, there is no other **** in the world of Tartadis that can be spread on the table.

　　 "Huh, don't you have any?"

　　 When Su Zhou heard this, he couldn't help being slightly surprised: "In this case, doesn't it mean that the existence behind that mysterious organization is your Father Earth?"

He still remembered the curse of the knight before he died-he said that behind them was a god. At that time, Su Zhou didn't care about it. After all, whether it was a game or a novel, it was similar to this kind of western fantasy world, the number of gods Don't be too much. If you change to Fusang's background, some gods may not be as strong as he is now.

　　 You need to know that with Su Zhou's ability to call the wind and rain, and summon the thunder, in ancient times, it was enough to be a **** of thunder.

　　 He could not have imagined that there is only one righteous **** in this world.

"Yes, sir."

　　 Regarding Su Zhou's question, Elias nodded and said naturally, "Except for some ancestor spirits of ethnic beliefs, which may be regarded as race gods, only the Father Earth is the only true god."

　　 "However, when the world began to drive towards the end a thousand years ago, God Father Earth never issued any oracle or contacted any saints... I am afraid, he has fallen."

　　 At this point, Elias's face was a little gloomy. He smiled bitterly: "As for the gods behind those mysterious organizations, they are probably some false gods that appeared in the apocalyptic period. In any case, they cannot belong to God the Earth Father. After all, he has long been no longer with the people in this world. Any contact anymore."

　　 "This world is a bit weird."

At this moment, in his heart, Su Zhou said to himself, and by the way spit out to Yala: "Let's talk about this world, there is no sea, and there is only one god... how to say, it's like a semi-finished product! Does Lord Ji like this world?"

　　 "Listen first." And Yarra didn't say much, she nodded thoughtfully, and motioned Su Zhou to continue listening to Elias's explanation.

　　 The general state of the world is like this, and then Su Zhou learned a lot of information about this world.

　　In particular, information related to the "Underground Labyrinth".

　　 The thing called the labyrinth also began to gradually appear after the world had sailed towards the end.

　　 After Father Earth lost contact with the church, huge rifts began to appear randomly on the earth, and even caused tragedies in which several cities were swallowed up by the rift. This rift was the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

The world of Tartadis is not vast, and the whole world is about a little bigger than Zhenguo. The borders of the four kingdoms occupy three-quarters of the world, and the remaining uninhabited mountains and dense forests are just As a natural dividing line of national borders, it has also been explored for a long time. The whole world is completely known to humans in the past, and there is no mysterious and exploreable area.

However, the maze is completely unknown. This wonderful underground structure that only appeared after the gods fell, layer after layer, no one knows how deep it is and how vast it is. It seems to be wider than the entire known world. In the underground area, there are many extraordinary creatures that have long been extinct from the outside world, and in the depths of the maze, there are even many gods that are probably made by ancient civilizations.

There is also a maze around the city of Nessel. With the support of the archduke of the past, local adventurers have explored the sixth level-at least on the surface of the public information, perhaps deeper, the real progress of the exploration, only the archduke himself and His immediate team only knew about it.

　　 "It is said that in the underground labyrinth, there are secrets related to the apocalypse. After all, the apocalypse and the labyrinth appear at the same time, and now that the outside world is gradually shrouded in gray mist, only the underground is considered safe."

Elias didn’t know the progress of the Neisser family’s exploration. After all, he had just returned to the main city. So when Su Zhou had doubts about the labyrinth, he could only shook his head apologetically: “I’m really not that. It is clear that I need to wait until I open the family secret store and read the relevant records in the family before I can have a clear answer-I will check the records later, and if I have any gains, I will let you know as soon as possible."

"Really." Hearing this, Su Zhou nodded thoughtfully: "I probably understand. Then, Elias, you can do your job first. I will read in the study. If there is anything Where you need me to play, just come and call me."

　　 "Yes, Mr. Su."

Elias walked away politely. Although this is his home and he is also the nominal ruler of Nessel City, he understands very well that if there is no Su Zhou, even if there is no enemy from the mysterious organization, With his strength, it is also difficult to control this mega city.

　　 Moreover, when the mysterious organization did not know when it would launch a second raid, Su Zhou was his only support now.

　　 When Elias left and Su Zhou stayed in the study alone, he began to summarize the current information.

　　 "It is not the same as the Shenmu World. Although I can be sure that the source of the end of the world is definitely the resurrection of the Lord of the Dead, the world of Tartadis does not have an overly obvious goal like the'Banban Immortal Tree'."

"Secondly, the source of the enemy is also very mysterious. Whether it is the octopus mage, the shrimp knight, or the murloc ranger, they are not common races and creatures in this world, and what the other party said, the **** behind him, is also very enchanting. People care...I can hear that it's not a false belief."

Taking out paper and pen, writing Chinese notes in the notebook, Su Zhou with frowning brows began to draw various related lines: "The reason for the end of the world is that the speed of spiritual energy conversion is stagnant. The gray mist will cover the world, only shelters. The city and the underground still maintain a normal environment. But the underground maze is full of monsters, and so far no one has explored to the deepest point, let alone the reason for the formation of the maze."

　　 "Interesting, it seems I want to find an opportunity to see what the ‘gray mist’ and the ‘maze’ are going on."

Although Su Zhou is still confused about this world and can't find his power point for the time being, he knows very well that he only needs to stay in Nessel City, then he can always wait until the mysterious organization strikes again—that At that time, you might be able to get more relevant information.

　　 Besides, isn’t Elias going to see the family secrets? From him, I can certainly get more information.

　　 Thinking of this, he lowered his head and continued to read the magic book secreted by the Nessel family.

　　 A complete magic book is equivalent to the inheritance of a certain mage, and it is also one of their most important magic weapons. Through the magic book, the viewer can quickly learn the magic recorded above.

The previous generation of Grand Duke Nessel was an elite pinnacle, that is, an extraordinary pinnacle spellcaster. He is proficient in both water and soil spells. In terms of level, he is higher than Su Zhou. His magic book is not in the study room. The chance is to be kept in the family secrets, and most of the magic books placed in the study are general-purpose spells, which are used to lay the foundation for the younger generation of the Neisser family.

　　 It just so happens that what Su Zhou needs is to lay the foundation.

　　 "The so-called magic power is just another name for spiritual power, spiritual power is the universal energy that passes through the heavens and all realms, and magic is just another way of using spiritual power."

Reading the magic book with his left hand, Su Zhou stretched out his right hand, gathering spiritual power, and operating according to the spiritual power recorded in it, condensing runes, filling power, and soon, a light blue water condensed in his right hand. , And this water light quickly transformed into frost, water polo and spears and other forms.

One Dharma and Ten Thousand Dharma have the basis of the inheritance of the Mingling Dragon Technique and the Five-pole God Thunder True Technique. Coupled with the fruit of wisdom, Su Zhou can easily understand some of the essence and two aspects of the magic book. Correspondingly, he learned much faster than others thought.

at the same time.

Elias first asked the maid, and later served Su Zhou's breakfast. No matter the quantity or the kind, he chose to give him whatever he wanted to eat, as much as he wanted to eat as long as he wanted, and he himself just drank in a hurry. With a glass of water, he quickly walked towards the back of the Grand Ducal Mansion.

The treasure house of the Neisser family, located in the secret room underground in the Grand Duchy’s mansion, is guarded by a strict magic circle barrier. Even if the power near the gods wants to break through, it takes a lot of effort, so even Su Zhou and the mysterious organization of the enemy The battle tore down half of the Grand Duke's mansion, it will not have any impact on it.

　　 "I hope I remember correctly."

　　 Standing in front of the secret door in the basement, Elias concentrated on using his soul frequency to resonate with the great array, proving his identity, and at the same time, slowly opened the secret door in accordance with the secret method.

After doing all this, while waiting for the door to open, Elias couldn't help thinking that when he thought that the Neisser family now only had a single seedling left of him, and that the whole world would be destroyed in a few decades. There is a sense of disillusionment: "What is the point of working so hard? The enemies are too. I spend so much effort fighting for something I don’t know, but in the final analysis, I will still die... Why bother fighting each other in the last time? It's so ugly to die."

　　 This is also the thinking of most people in the entire world today.

For more than a thousand years, everyone has accepted the end of the day. Whether it is saving themselves or building shelters, people have implemented all the methods they have thought of, but now what they have to do is nothing more than the best. A dignified posture, just waiting for death.

　　 The family secret hideout is not as resplendent as the legend, after all, ordinary wealth is not worth protecting with this level of large formation.

In fact, most of what is stored in the underground secret room is the cultivation experience of the past dynasties Patriarch, precious forbidden magic, and all kinds of extremely precious extraordinary materials and divine objects... In general, it is nothing more than a few. A bookcase, just a few lockers, at a glance, they are very ordinary.

Elias did not hesitate. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and went to the bookcase closest to him, which was also the bookcase from which traces of storage had been taken out during the recent period. He whispered in a whisper, "Please give My'maze exploration log'."

　　 Following the whispers, the seemingly ordinary bookcase showed ripples on it. Then, a diary booklet appeared on the height of the bookcase. Elias stood on tiptoe and removed it.

　　The bookcase is given a special preservation magic. Only the relevant secret words can be used to take out the books in it. If you want to use it violently, it will only cause the entire bookcase to destroy itself.

　　【Maze Exploration Log】

　　 staring at the regular large characters, Elias skipped most of the front and quickly flipped it to the last few pages, starting from the last part of the exploratory log.

　　 [September 19th-underground conditions·humidity-temperature·29 degrees

　　 Most of the exploration on the seventh floor has been completed, and the three elite-level monsters hovering around have all been wiped out. The exploration team is searching for the entrance to the next floor, and everyone is excited.

The closer you get to the ground, the higher the temperature, and the more normal the transformation of the elements. It seems that the "doomsday-related truth in the labyrinth" circulating in the whole world is really not nonsense, at least, even if it is. The earth's surface is really shrouded in gray mist, and we can still enter the underground and continue to linger for a while. Live one more day and earn one more day. 】

　　 This handwriting is very familiar to Elias. It is exactly the handwriting of the previous generation of Grand Duke Nessel. He who often communicates with the other party through secret letters is very clear that this is indeed the original handwriting of the Duke, and it is not forged by other people.

"You have already explored to the seventh floor, are you even looking for the eighth floor?" Thinking of this, Elias couldn't help but exclaimed, and then continued to look down: "And it seems that you are almost finding the path to the eighth. There is a layer of passage, and my father deserves to be the most talented spellcaster in the family for hundreds of years!"

Even if it is accidentally dying in the process of breaking through the powerhouse near the gods, but if ordinary people want to die like this, there is no chance, just like some people have been princes for 60 years. This is certainly very miserable, but most people want to be princes I didn't have this chance either-the young man thought of it this way, and it was a joy in hardship.

　　 He continued to watch.

　　 [September 22-underground conditions·humidity-temperature·31 degrees

　　 finally arrived at the eighth floor. The entrance to the next maze is actually an underground hot spring. If it weren’t for me, I’m a water-specialized spellcaster, it’s really hard to find. I set up a camp with Yann, and since then, the seventh floor can be made public to other adventurers.

However, Yabo said that he seemed to hear a voice calling him, but neither I nor anyone else heard it—there are all strange things in the maze, and auditory hallucinations are just the least strange kind. We persuade him to be there. Rest in the camp for a while, and Vanguard will be replaced by someone else temporarily. 】

　　 [September 23rd-Underground Conditions·Extremely Humidity·Temperature·30°C

　　 Yabo disappeared silently, and the eighth layer of the maze suddenly became foggy. This fog can actually block magical perception. The moist water vapor made me feel like I was in the water.

　　 Soon, we found the footprints of Yabo, and after careful tracking, we found a large piece of marvelous man-made palace ruins.

The ruins look like a temple, but they are not in the style of the Father Earth. The pattern is not a high mountain, but a strange wave pattern. The inscriptions on it are also ancient texts that we are not familiar with. This is on the first seven floors. A pattern that has never been seen in the maze.

We found a comatose Yabo in the center of this hall. A strange change appeared on his body, with layers of fish-like scales appearing on his body-Yaen said this is a kind of blood rebirth. However, Yabozu has lived with our Neisser family for dozens of generations. When did he have this peculiar bloodline? 】

　　 Yaen and Yabo, Elias knew that they were members of the maze exploration team directly under the Grand Duke.

　　 But the Grand Duke passed away, and the entire Neisser family was almost annihilated, and his immediate exploration team was also destroyed by default. Even the family of the exploration team was killed during the previous large-scale purge of the mysterious organization.

　　 But now it seems that something is wrong?

　　 "Fish scales..." When the boy saw this word, he couldn't help but think of the mysterious organization who invaded the shelter. There were indeed murlocs among them. He frowned, "What does this have to do with it?"

　　 Elias kept looking.

　　 [September 24th-underground conditions·extremely humid-temperature·32 degrees

　　 Yabo woke up, he looked like he was not alive, and he kept saying to himself ‘the time has come’, ‘this is the call of God’, no matter how we communicate with him, he has no response. Yabo has more and more fish scales. He is more like a murloc with a fish head and human body, rather than a human being.

　　 We gave up the exploration of the eighth layer and prepared to return to the surface. If the situation of Yabo gets worse, I am afraid we can only end up with him underground, which is also for the safety of other people. 】

　　 [September 27th-underground conditions·humidity-temperature·27 degrees

After returning to the fifth floor, Yabo’s condition eased a lot. He recovered sober and told us in horror that he could not control himself at all when he was on the eighth floor. He just felt that the blood and soul in his body were calling. As he headed to the weird ancient temple, and when he came to the temple, he passed out in a coma, and felt that there was a lot of strange knowledge in his head. He was also confused about his alienated body, and as soon as he left the moist fog, his skin would immediately crack and blood flow would not stop.

I can see what Yabo hides. His eyes flicker when he speaks. He has always lied like this for decades, but after all he has been with me for so many years, it is difficult for me to torture him in front of everyone. After reaching the ground, I must let him tell all his secrets honestly. 】

　　【October 1st-overcast

　　 After returning to the surface, Yabo took the initiative to find me. His previous concealment was not because he wanted to hide some news from me, but because he didn't want this news to be known to others in the exploration team.

He said that the temple on the eighth floor of the labyrinth is the ancient'Temple of the God of Water', which is older than the God of the Earth and belongs to the temple of the gods of the previous era. Yabo delightedly told me that Neisser City Saved, the whole world is saved. The end of the world is not really the end, but the result of the rotation of the elements. As long as we find the core of the rotation of the elements in the next era, then we can survive until the end of the old world under its protection. , When the new world was born!

　　 This is too nonsense, what is the **** of water? The Nessel family has never heard of this term in thousands of years of history, but Yabo is not the kind of person who can deceive people. He can tell from his expression what he hides, but this time, I can It can be seen that he is sincere. 】

　　 [October 3rd-overcast

Yabo died. The cause of death was the disorder of the elements in the body. This is an incurable disease... Before he died, he regretted that he could not see the new world, but he hoped that I could lead his family to survive to the next era... To be honest, I am still suspicious of all this, and Yabo’s mental condition has been problematic since he returned from the eighth floor. He has been preaching about the God of Water. I can’t believe the words of a nearly half-crazy guy, even He has been my attendant since childhood.

　　 Yabo said before his death that the Father Earth, who created our era, died, but the gods of the two eras before the Age of Earth showed signs of recovery-what elementary era will the next era be? This is the moment when other resurrected gods compete with each other. The two ancient gods are about to recover and compete for the protagonist position in the next era, and when the next era dies, our Father Earth will also recover and compete for the protagonist in the next era.

The essence of the labyrinth is the remains of the civilization of the previous era. Located on the eighth floor of the labyrinth around our city of Nessel, is the main temple of the **** of water, and Yabo is the descendant of the remains of the previous era, so He will wake up in the temple.

Whether it is true or not, all the news is too unacceptable, but when I think of the ancient temple in the eighth level of the maze and the strange transformations in Yabo, I can't help but think about it. Authenticity. What if what he said is true? Then what should I do?

In any case, this time I paid a lot for the seventh layer of the labyrinth. My strength has improved again. After a period of rest, I will probably be able to try to break through the realm of near gods. In this case, no matter what the chaotic situation, I All have the power to maintain order in the city of Nessel. 】

　　 This is the end of the exploration log.

　　 If there were other records related to the previous Grand Duke of Neisser, it would not be recorded in this record related to maze exploration.

　　 And after reading this, Elias sighed deeply, his complexion extremely severe.

"The God of Water..." The young man closed the pamphlet in his hand and whispered softly, "Could it be that it was the organization that attacked the city of Nessel? Followers loyal to the God of Water? And the **** in their mouth was the God of Water God?"

　　Thinking about it this way, whether it is the strange and alien intelligent beings or the inexplicable beliefs of the other party, there are explanations.

As for why the organization of the Water God attacked the city of Nessel, Elias felt that it might be related to the Temple of the Water God in the eight underground floors-the labyrinth is extremely complex, and the entrances and exits on each floor are very complicated. Very secretive, if you want to know how to get to the eighth floor of the maze, you can only get it from the exploration log unless you tortured the relevant exploration team members.

Obviously, after the Grand Duke's accidental death during the breakthrough, the followers of the God of Water did not get news about the eighth layer of the labyrinth from the exploration team in Nessel City, so they could only try to break Nessel. The secret of the family, try to get relevant news from it.

　　 "Things are in trouble."

　　 To be honest, Elias didn't understand what era was changed, what gods were resurrected, and what was called a new world after the death of the old world, but he knew very well that it was behind the enemy. I am afraid there is a god.

　　 Although this **** may not have recovered to its heyday, in the final analysis, it is also a god!

　　 "No, I must notify Mr. Su Zhou of this news as soon as possible!"

　　 Thinking of this, the gray-eyed boy with frowning brows hurriedly left the secret store and went to the study.

　　 After a while, the study room.

　　 "You said you want me to leave?"

　　 After listening to the gray pupil's hurried warning, Su Zhou closed the magic book in his hand. He was in a good mood after just learning a few basic water spells, but Elias' words just made him a little unhappy.

　　 The young man looked at Elias with a strange look, and stared at each other: "Unexpectedly, you are going to drive me away? Unexpectedly, you little guy still has a strong desire for power."

Of course, Su Zhou could see that Elias’s original intention was not like this. He was just teasing each other--and Elias did flush with his face as he thought, and hurriedly explained: “No. , Mr. Su, I said, behind which mysterious organization, there may really be a god! A **** of water who is the same person as Father Earth!"

　　 "God of water?" Hearing this word, Su Zhou suddenly became interested. He did not continue to tease each other, but curiously asked, "Didn't you say that there are no other gods in this world?"

　　 "I thought so, but..."

Elias conveyed the information he had obtained from the exploration record to Su Zhou briefly but perfectly, and then he repeated solemnly: "The enemy is the believer of the God of Water, and their organization may be better than we thought. The other party is more powerful, and the other party is determined to win the maze temple on the eighth floor. The next time you come, there will definitely be more than a few people."

"And the nature of the enemy is likely to be like Yabo, a maze explorer who suddenly awakened and returned to his ancestors." After speaking, the gray pupil summed up: "The city of Neisser will be very dangerous in the future, so please leave."

"how about you."

　　 Su Zhou did not reply immediately, he asked with interest: "I can leave, but the other party will not let you go."

　　 "I will burn the exploration record and then leave this shelter. If it doesn't work, I will commit suicide."

When uttering the word suicide, Elias’s tone was very decisive, even with some relaxed tone: “In this case, the other party would need to spend a lot of money to find the entrance to the eighth maze. It’s a lot of effort - after all, they are not familiar with the seventh layer of the maze, and it can definitely delay them for a long time."

　　 Regarding this, Su Zhou’s reply is simple,

"I reject."

He put the magic book in his hand aside, and Su Zhou crossed his hands on his raised knees. He sat on the cashmere chair and said with a calm expression: "Unexpectedly, your city is quite interesting— -It is indeed the center of the dispute. I have decided, and I will stay here. I want to see what kind of tricks the followers of the God of Water can play."

"what?"

Although Su Zhou decided to stay in the city of Nessel, it was good news for this sanctuary city and Elias himself, but he couldn't help raising his hand and swinging it. Advised: "Well, this is a private matter about our Neisser family... It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Su, you really don't need to be involved..."

　　 "Hey, do you look down on me?"

　　 After hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help frowning. Although every word of this child was kind, but what he said was very boring... how to say? It's like going to a bathhouse to ask the master to rub your back, and exclaiming, "Master, have you eaten?" It’s the same, it’s obviously a good intention, but to the master, he seems to dislike him for not having enough food and not having enough energy.

　　 What else can the master do? Naturally, he used all his strength to rub him a layer of skin!

　　 Su Zhou is the same, how can he be a person who can be so angry? Immediately he replied decisively: "I am happy!"

　　The words are over~lightnovelpub.net~ He Su Zhou reiterated again: "I have the strength, time, and interest-I am willing to stay here, dangerous? I came for the danger!"

　　 "Why, are you still planning to drive me away? The ugly words are in front. According to our comparison of strengths, it may be possible to drive who.

"Mr. Su..." After hearing Su Zhou's hidden threats, Eliston had nothing to say--he could also hear that the kindness and determination behind Su Zhou's words immediately moved him. It feels very strange.

　　 Ordinary people’s actions are for individual or collective interests, but Su Zhou’s actions have nothing to do with interests from the beginning. It is a little bit incorrect to say that he follows his heart. This is simply arbitrary!

　　 He has never seen such a pure and unpretentious person!

　　 But in fact, Elias thinks too much, fighting the enemy, Su Zhou has benefits, not to mention that his purpose in this world is to challenge the strong, and he has ghasts to kill the wicked! Among other things, each of the three water **** believers provided a ghast, a rare harvest.

　　 Speaking of it, he hasn't had time to see what effect those ghasts have.

　　 Although, even if there are no ghasts, Su Zhou will do the same for the curiosity to know the truth behind this world.

　　 "Tomorrow, I will go to the maze to see the situation."

　　 Saying so, Su Zhou firmly determined the course of action for tomorrow: "I'm going to see what is going on in the temple of the **** of water."
