Chapter 65 The Grammer Family's Daughter
As the scout captain fell, filled with resentment, the terrain of this labyrinthine area changed.
The winding, endless corridors have disappeared, replaced by an ordinary-looking training ground. Shallow trenches and tunnels have been dug around the ground, with some simple wooden stakes and mechanisms inside.
This is what the "Scout Corridor" area originally looked like.
In the center of this training field, a huge, irregular crystal is suspended, which looks just like the magnified form of the Echo Crystal.
This is the core of the first area BOSS. Touching it will resonate in other areas and light up the crystal in front of the gate to the center of the maze.
It's basically a classic door lock.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to clear the Scout Corridor!"
At this moment, Qingling and Luna had arrived behind Youche. Looking at the floating crystal, Luna was clearly somewhat lost in thought.
Although she wasn't an adventurer who frequented Watchtown year-round, she had entered the dungeon several times and had some understanding of the situation there.
In her memory, she had never heard of a team with an average level below LV30 being able to clear the Scout Corridor in such a short time.
And You Che is only — V9.
Yes, after taking down the scout captain, You Che took the lion's share of the experience, which was enough to level up.
Only then did Luna belatedly realize something: "You're not thinking of—getting Mycroft's job done in one go, are you?"
You Che laughed: "Pretty much. Besides this, I also plan to clear this maze."
Luna: "???"
Her first instinct was to say, "How could that be?", but then she immediately realized that if the man in front of her said that, it wasn't entirely impossible.
"So, shall we light up this crystal now and then go find the others?" Luna asked.
You Che shook his head: "No, we won't touch this thing."
Luna: "?"
Why?
"According to the rules of the maze, all maps inside the Watcher's Fortress will refresh after one day and night, at which time we will also be forcibly teleported away."
You Che explained, "But if you light up the crystal again just before it refreshes, you can extend the exploration time by several hours."
"So that's how it is?" Luna learned something she had never heard of before.
Actually, there's another reason besides that: once this thing is lit up, it means that the area is completely cleared, and the difficulty of other areas will increase accordingly.
This kind of interconnected design can be seen in various dungeons of "Dark Fantasy", so you can fight the BOSS, but don't move the crystal first.
However, Luna should already know this, so You Che didn't mention it. He just said, "We don't need to specifically look for other people. As long as the three of them, who are archers and assassins, are together, they can fight in at least half of this maze. We can just proceed at our own pace."
As You Che spoke, he bent down again and pushed the body of the scout captain lying beneath the crystal.
However, despite being called a corpse, Luna discovered that there was nothing inside the black leather armor; it was just an empty shell.
"This is----?"
"It's a fixed change that happens after the bosses in this maze die. The details are a bit complicated, but basically it means they're not completely dead."
You Che said casually, then pulled out two items that had fallen from under the scout captain.
One of the items was a pair of black leather boots covered with scale-like patterns, and the other was a packet of powder with a strange glow.
【Hidden Scale Leather Boots】
Category: Leg Armor
[Quality: Excellent]
Defense: 7
[Special Feature: Slightly increases running and sprinting speed.]
These shoes were the acceleration equipment that You Che had been looking for. Although they looked like the ones the scout captain was wearing, since they were items dropped by the dungeon boss, they certainly weren't secondhand, so You Che put them on without a secondhand look.
As for that packet of powder—
【Invisibility Powder: Scattered into the air, covering the entire body, making the wearer invisible for a short time】
This is a consumable item commonly used by mid-to-high-level assassins. When used in conjunction with the skill "Invisibility," it can almost completely conceal one's presence from the enemy. Without the skill, the effect is much weaker, but it is still usable.
You Che tried on the new boots and found them quite comfortable. Although the speed increase was not significant, it was enough for him.
"The drop rate is so-so. Let's see if the next boss drops anything useful for you — let's go."
Upon hearing this, Luna followed closely behind You Che without hesitation, which made Qingling, who was standing to the side, somewhat unhappy.
That's my spot!
Meanwhile, outside the labyrinth.
In the small town that You Che had previously visited, the town of the baron whose sexual interests seemed somewhat strange, there was now a great commotion.
The reason is simple: Xiao Yang has already arrived here with the circuit court personnel, and after collecting a large amount of evidence, they are about to send the baron to trial.
The baron, however, had no intention of surrendering. He stubbornly rallied his remaining bandit-like men and attempted to confront the circuit court directly.
However, it is clearly overestimating a group of mountain bandits to try to fight against a roving trainee group mainly composed of top students from the Royal Academy and with mentors present.
The instructors disdained to lift a finger, but the students used their skills to tear apart the makeshift defense line, a mix of the baron's private army and bandits.
-
Among these students, one person stood out.
It was a blonde girl dressed in magical half-armor, carrying a longsword engraved with ancient patterns. She charged into the Baron's lines alone, defeating all the enemies in her way.
Even under these circumstances, she still had the energy to distinguish between bandits and local militia members who had been forced into the situation.
Needless to say, all the mountain bandits were killed, while the town soldiers who had little will to fight were spared, merely knocked down.
Even in such a battle, she was the first to rush into the baron's mansion.
"Boom!" 6
The gates of the baron's mansion were shattered by her holy light sword strike. The girl strode through the gates with firm steps, her gaze sharp as a knife as she pointed upstairs.
"Give up now!"
She once again charged in first, taking care of the servants in the mansion in one fell swoop, and finally dragged the Baron out of the secret room behind the study.
As she dragged the baron out of the room with one hand, he was still roaring and cursing in resentment, but he was immediately gagged and dragged away by the soldiers.
This confrontation with the baron who intended to resist the French was a resounding victory, with the blonde girl's performance being particularly outstanding.
Even the accompanying mentor couldn't help but exclaim, "To possess such heroic qualities at such a young age, she could very well become another female general of the kingdom one day!"
Even the students who weren't participating in the fight were whispering among themselves: "I'm afraid many of us in our grade wouldn't be able to beat the younger girls—"
"That's right. She switched to an intermediate knight class when she was only around level ten. There aren't many examples like that in the history of the academy."
"As expected of—that Grammer family daughter!"
The girl standing at the gate of the mansion naturally couldn't hear their whispers. In fact, she was not a member of the traveling apprentice group. She was accompanying them for other reasons and was just helping out as a matter of course.
After the battle was decided, she went straight to the trainee group and found Xiao Yang.
At this moment, Xiao Yang was holding a package he had just received. He was flipping through a large pile of letters inside, and when he saw several bottles of anti-magic potions inside, he was so excited that he asked someone to deliver them to the designated address.
"Was this package sent by the person you mentioned?"
The blonde girl came up to him and the first thing she asked was this question.
Xiao Yang was also startled: "Senior! Oh, you mean this package? Yes, yes—"
The blonde girl glanced at the address on the package, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"Wait, senior!"
Xiao Yang wanted to catch up, but his pace was no match for the knight who was more than ten levels high.
When he reached the entrance to the town, he only had time to see the blonde girl riding a horse and galloping away.
Xiao Yang:
'
""
He originally wanted to say that when the package was sent, You Che had already been gone for who knows how long, and even if he went there, it would be difficult to find him.
But he understood how she felt, so he could only sigh and say, "Good luck, senior."
