Chapter 245 The Order of the First King
The gate of the maze closed with a bang, and the roar of the gears of the mechanism gradually subsided. It seemed that the maze had been generated and the former kings had already begun to test the questions.
Chen Yaogang didn't want to make any mistakes. He just wanted to use his configured equipment to push the level, and did not want to expose any of his trump cards or secrets.
The vision of the former king: "No matter what race you are or where you come from, the goddess of justice treats the challenger equally. She believes that every man and woman is a existence worthy of testing and salvation. However, as kings of the Lion Empire, your performance cannot satisfy us. If you cannot protect the future of the empire, if you cannot guarantee that the empire can continue... we will escape from the maze and turn the Lion Empire into a kingdom of the dead."
"Iggs, are you mentally prepared this time? Every time you fail or escape, the territory of the empire will be occupied by the undead and monsters. If we do not have the talent and strength of being an emperor, we will consider replacing you and choosing a more suitable king to take over the territory of the empire."
Iggs' expression was hidden under the masked scarf, and his tone did not change because of the emperors' criticism: "To be honest, I am not interested in being a king, but since I have surpassed others and become the new king of the Lion Empire, I can only shoulder this responsibility."
"You don't have to threaten me with the throne. No empire will never lack rulers. You don't have to say what our achievements are, but should be left to history and future generations to evaluate. Therefore, what I think about now is how to defeat you, rather than maintaining this illusory king. As long as I can protect a group of people to live safely and happily, I am the real king, and you are just a group of crappy guys crawling out of the grave."
The illusion of the former king made a harsh laugh: "Hahaha! Iggs, you are more confident this time than last time. Before, you saw the body of the sync guard being crushed by a trap, but you screamed and tore open the teleportation scroll and abstained from it. What is the reason that makes you different today?"
"Stop wasting time. We have given Iggs enough opportunities. If he fails this time, it is not impossible to choose a king from other trialists. As an emperor who rules the country, the king not only needs to understand his ambitions and ambitions, but also needs to maintain his true ideals and self. If anyone can destroy your soul with just one word, then you cannot become a qualified king. You will only lead the people to the destruction of displaced destiny..."
"The first level, the maze of rumors is started! There will be multiple fountains of sulfuric acid cracks in the maze. Use your feet to feel the power of rumors corroding people's hearts! The goddess of justice will not limit your challenge time, but if you delay too long, the acid will completely submerge the maze..."
The illusion of the former king disappeared again, and crackling sounds of brick bursting in the garden corridor in the distance, and the acidic liquid began to overflow quickly.
Chen Yaogang said decisively: "There are no monsters or mechanisms around now. Everyone obeys my orders. The free range of activities should not exceed my 50 yards. Everyone immediately starts to use magic ablation map to explore the structure of the maze. A large amount of sulfuric acid surges into the maze will cause acid mist. If we move too slowly, the first level will become more and more difficult!"
Iggs walked towards the bronze inscription beside him with a scepter: "On this side, the goddess of justice and the former kings will engrave some of the secrets in the maze on the bronze inscriptions. Investigating these bronze inscriptions may lead to more clues. We have to act as soon as possible. The maze of six people will be very large, and delaying time will indeed lead to a bad situation."
Chen Yaogang acquiesced to Iggs' orders, and at the same time left a vine ball on everyone. As long as he is nearby, he can activate the power of the vine to resist or even block the mechanism, preventing them from falling into a chain of traps and being killed directly.
If Chen Yaogang was too far away, he would not be able to observe the current situation of the maze and could not trigger the vines as soon as possible, so this method of cooperation would not be valid.
"Well, are you all ready for the map? Come on, I will first impose a layer of life enchantment on you."
Chen Yaogang took out the enchanted ink and asked everyone to stretch out the backs of their hands and stack them together. He used a special rune pen to draw them one by one on the backs of their hands, linking some of their health points together. Even Igs was amazed. It was the first time he saw this ancient and mysterious blood sacrifice ceremony.
[Ding! You have applied a temporary enchantment to your team, and it will generate shelter power for a period of time!]
[Each team member will retain 30% of the maximum health. This health will be used as a public resource of the team. When any member is damaged, 50% of the life damage will be deducted from the power of protection. It will be evenly distributed by each member. When the damage is maximized, the life protection link will automatically fail!]
Chen Yaogang explained: "This force is a 'strong force of unity'. If I was injured, others would help share part of the damage to resist death. However, this force has a range limit, and it will gradually become invalid after more than 50 yards. And it can only offset part of the damage and will not let everyone die together."
"Okay, please keep a distance and start pushing with me as the core. You should worry about it when I investigate the bronze stone tablet."
Iggs volunteered, "I will also impose a magic barrier on you, which can withstand 1 to 2 trap attacks. Although I don't have any combat power, I have challenged the maze many times. I am very familiar with the basic mode of the trap mechanism here. Please ask me for advice when encountering strange places."
Chen Yaogang walked towards the bronze inscription and secretly opened the translation system, translating all the ancient characters on it into the simplest and most straightforward vernacular.
"What is written on it seems to be the autobiography of the Holy Sword King."
"At that time, the Lion Empire was just a small nomadic country in desert wastelands. Faced with the covetous eyes of other countries, the young Holy Sword King stood out among the crown prince with his excellent personal strength. Although he had many victories and losses in wars in history, he eventually became a winner with his Holy Sword."
"After the Holy Sword lost its power, the king lost his greatest reliance and began to be troubled by his own bloodline inheritance. Because the Holy Sword King once believed that he had the most sacred bloodline, he was the spokesperson of the gods. He would hold the Holy Sword in his hand to uphold justice, but the Holy Sword finally abandoned him."
