Chapter 310 Maze:
The method of solving a general maze is very simple.
Basically, you just make a mark on a wall, and then keep walking close to the wall. If you keep exploring like this, you will be able to find the exit naturally if you are lucky.
But if you are unlucky, sooner or later you will end up back where you made the mark.
In this case, the method is to mark another wall and continue walking against the wall.
Repeat this operation, and you will eventually be able to find the exit.
Of course, the premise is that this maze does not have magical transformation capabilities, or it has no exit at all.
As for the ingredients of the maze that Ronald is currently in.
The only way to find out is to keep going.
So with the idea of exploring carefully, Ronald began to move along the maze wall beside him.
In order to guard against interference from unexpected factors.
He also looks up at the sky every few minutes.
Although the towering maze walls blocked most of the view, the sky could still be seen.
It was also because of this habit that Ronald determined that the trial environment was relatively rigid.
I walked for half an hour after entering the trial.
There was no change in the state of the sky above him, and there was no light transition caused by the movement of the sun.
In other words, this trial is not perfect in simulating the real external environment, just like the games of the old era did not have a day and night alternating system.
The reason for this phenomenon...
is probably because the core of the trial is focused on specific content.
That is the maze that Ronald is now in.
So stepping on the ancient and outdated floor, and after half an hour of going back and forth to explore, Ronald was unlucky enough to see something.
That was the mark he made on the wall when he entered the trial.
What he was facing now was the direction he left when he first started exploring.
Ronald took a deep breath, then patted his cheek gently:
"Huh——"
"It's okay, as expected."
"Go on."
Next, he marked the opposite side of the original wall, Ronald Continue exploring the maze wall on the other side.
He is the very patient type when doing certain things.
Ronald had breakfast when he went out this morning. As long as it was not a time-consuming and grueling trial that would make people starve to death of thirst, he could continue to explore bit by bit until he finally found the end of the trial.
Accompanied by the ancient maze, Ronald continued to walk in this quiet space.
This situation lasted until an hour later.
Not that he found an exit.
After changing again and moving along the maze wall, Ronald came to a space hidden inside the maze.
The walls here enclose an area about the size of a football field.
There is nothing blocking the view. A house made of stone is located here. Judging from the surrounding vegetable gardens and the entrance to the flowing water, it is certain that there are traces of human habitation here.
Especially at the entrance of the house, there are elegant and realistic sculptures.
It directly raises the grade of the entire residence.
"The house in the maze..."
"..."
With his eyes focused, Ronald had raised his alertness to the highest level.
Although the two people who entered the trial before had failed, Ronald did not think that the two people who could join the [Scroll Research Society] were fools. To allow them to fail the trial silently, there must be something here that could threaten their lives.
Maybe... this danger is in the house in front of you?
"Ah -"
"Monster, monster!"
"I don't want to die, help!"
"Lord Minos, you can't do this!"
Ronald hid sideways in the maze, and then carefully observed the house At that moment, a miserable cry came from the entrance to another maze leading to this side.
The voices are both male and female, but most are very young.
What surprised Ronald even more was that he could now understand the meaning of these people's words.
This is a very subtle thing.
The voices that came were shouting in ancient Greek.
However, the reason why Ronald can understand this language is not due to the general language skills he has been using.
Rather, the trial itself hints at the meaning of Ronald's language.
This is a very strange psychological suggestion.
If Ronald didn't understand ancient Greek at all, he would subconsciously think that the language he used had not changed, and leaving the trial would only leave a vague silhouette.
Thus, the doubts long ago were explained.
In Ronald's impression, it is almost impossible to decipher a language without understanding the pronunciation and meaning of words.
And if the locals who passed the trial have these hints of 'language' in their subconscious after leaving the trial, then they have the opportunity to translate part of the 'spell' pronunciation.
It's no wonder that these spellcasters can use spells, and their tones are so weird.
It originated from this kind of vague memory, couldn't it be like this...
If Ronald didn't have the ability to understand language to remind him, his performance after leaving the trial would probably not be much different. The past magician from another world It seems we are having a hard time...
Just as Ronald was thinking, the voice from the other side continued to approach.
Finally, the culprit appeared.
A monster stepped out that was a bull from head to shoulders and the rest of it human. This classic-looking tauren only has a piece of linen wrapped around his body, and his strong and powerful muscles show terrifying strength.
——Minotaur.
The initial guess was correct.
This is the famous labyrinth on Crete, where the dangerous Minotaur kills people.
So, Ronald subconsciously looked down at himself.
With his small arms and legs, if he rushed forward, he would be knocked down with just one punch.
If you want to win by force, just save it.
The scene that appeared next confirmed Ronald's thoughts.
After the minotaur walked out of the maze, the chains he held were still dragging seven boys and seven girls. The wailing he heard before was made by these children.
Then, the tauren's massacre of these people began.
This half-man, half-bull monster showed no mercy and quickly slaughtered all the children.
After completing this process, it found a lawn anywhere to lie down.
Soon he fell asleep with loud snoring.
——This is a scene that is completely consistent with Greek mythology.
——The Athenians were forced to beg Minos for mercy by force, and sent seven pairs of boys and girls to Crete every nine years as tribute. After King Minos of Crete received these tributes, he would send them into the Cretan labyrinth where the Minotaur was, and finally kill them.
Thus, the most important question facing Ronald emerged.
What is the ultimate goal of this trial requirement?
What should he do now?
