Chapter 100: Labyrinth & Chivalrous Guest

  In front of the huge gate that appeared before his eyes was a large dial divided into eight equal parts. Each grid had a picture and some text carved on it. The only pointer now pointed to one of them, apparently letting Lu start from there.

  Lü Cuō went forward to take a look and was overjoyed for the first time that he had seriously learned the characters of this world.

  It's useless even if you know it yourself if you can't recognize the characters.

  The words in the first grid made Lu Ruo's eyes widen with interest.

  That was a very powerful "king" character, inlaid in an exquisite and intricate small crown, with no other explanation.

  Is this going to make the test-taker do something without any hint? Lü couldn't help but feel a bit strange, however... He shrugged his shoulders, and there was nothing to be anxious about, he still had plenty of time, he could slowly research it.

  It's clear that after searching around, there are no other possible hidden text explanations elsewhere. There are only eight equal squares with simple yet powerful words and patterns shining brightly together, extremely beautiful at the same time, yet also making one feel helpless.

  Look up at the sky, stretch out your hands, and continue to observe what this strange password door wants you to do.

  Seeing that Wang character made Lv think of the famous king in history, is it referring to him? However, unfortunately, there are no patterns and texts representing the king in the remaining grid.

  So it was... Lü Dian saw the grid with the word "sea" written on it and his eyes lit up.

  Is that it?

  Tentatively tapping on the grid carved with the word "sea", the pointer slowly started moving.

  It's indeed the case. Thanks to Baikutoro, he has been reading the most about ancient legends and relics here. Of course, this also includes stories widely circulated in the historical academic community.

  The famous Sally Valle III in history did not rashly mobilize troops when the country was invaded by enemy countries, because it has always been known for its trade and not for its bravery. Even if all the troops were deployed, they would only be like moths flying into flames.

  So how can we keep our territory intact and drive out the enemy?

  The clever young king pondered for a while and then sent people to change the course of the canals in the country overnight, spreading false news that Sariwal was going to surrender to the enemy's ears, and arranging his subjects to pretend to flee inland.

  Sally naturally knew what changes in weather meant - storms, high tides, rivers changing course...

  All this has predetermined a fact: the troops sent by the enemy country will return without success.

  In fact, except for a small number of high-ranking officers who escaped, the remaining ordinary soldiers were almost completely annihilated.

  And for this reason, "king" is sometimes linked with "sea".

  Surprisingly, the remaining ones are all strung together and related to archaeology. Lü guessed that as long as the sequence is correct and the pointer reaches the last grid, the door can be opened.

  The hard work and study during this period has not been in vain. Although some questions require careful consideration, the law ultimately answers them all correctly.

  At this moment, I felt a great sense of accomplishment when I finally took the last shot. The huge door rumbled and started to turn to one side, revealing a gap that allowed me to pass through.

  After passing through, Ritsu started walking forward. This time, there seemed to be no obstacles in the short term, only that the surroundings seemed to have added some strange textures. Unconcerned, Ritsu just quietly guarded against moving forward and didn't stop to look around.

  It's been quiet all along, and the law attributes it to the thick walls being soundproof, but come to think of it, no other examinees have been seen since entering. Calculating the time, after entering, a lot of time was spent at the password door, and many examinees should have entered by now.

  Just thinking about it, I heard a faint sound coming from behind me. Instinctively dodging, a sharp blade barely grazed my cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark.

  For his own slow reaction, he felt a strong sense of self-contempt. The lawyer casually wiped away the blood on his face and stared at Cao Cao's arrival.

  Even if it's a maze that keeps changing, and you might get lucky and move quickly, but being able to meet Lü is undoubtedly not an easy person, at least one of their physical skills or brains is not bad.

  Judging from the fierce attack just now, it is more likely to be the former.

  It's just that he doesn't mind the wary and hostile eyes of outsiders, and it's normal for this kind of competitive project to unintentionally produce unnecessary emotions. Lu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this psychology, which is somewhat related to a strong desire to win, he just found it annoying.

  Such people have two characteristics, one is that they are persistent and never willing to give up; another is that people with this personality often feel that others have the same thoughts as them due to their strong competitive spirit, thus it's easy for them to harbor animosity and fail to part on good terms.

  The law is actually a bit of a headache, but it doesn't show on the surface.

  He tilted his head and looked at the person, actually he was quite curious, he should be able to be considered a cute little kid now, why didn't he feel relaxed even with himself.

  Of course, being cautious is good. This person excels in this aspect.

  The person in front of me is wearing an ordinary T-shirt, probably around twenty years old. His face looks a bit tired, and it seems that things haven't been going smoothly for him either, and he's also forcing himself too much.

  Although Ritsu didn't have any psychic powers, after being with the travel group for a while, Ritsu, who was originally not stupid and liked to observe, naturally figured out that this person was just an ordinary person who hadn't developed his psychic powers yet.

  It's purely for the good of this person that Lu feels he shouldn't fight him, otherwise even if he only uses his physical skills, he would definitely be much stronger than him. After all, Livel was once his coach, and if he can't even handle an ordinary person, Lu can already imagine how Livel would mock him.

  I just want to tell this person that it's fine if we remain peaceful and friendly, after all, the exam content is just about getting out of this maze without a limited number of people. However, when I wanted to speak up, I realized that I couldn't talk. Feeling very frustrated, I wanted to put my hand into my pocket to take out the small board I was carrying with me to write on it. But at the moment my hand reached into my pocket, I was attacked again by the person not far away from me.

  Speechless, he flashed past, and the slap on his cheek was already a very embarrassing mistake. Now, naturally, he would not be injured by an ordinary person again.

  Still unwilling to casually hurt people, the law manipulated plants to tie him up. After making sure he couldn't do anything, she calmly took out a small board she had been wanting to use and wrote down what she wanted to say.

  The man who was still fuming with anger and wanting to say something froze when he saw the words on the board held in front of his nose, and his movements also came to a halt.

  "I didn't mean to be malicious, it's just that you always attack me and I have no choice, so I can only temporarily restrain you. Once I leave this place, the vines will loosen on their own, and then you can continue on your way."

  The man looked up after staring blankly and glanced at Lut, who had an innocent face, and finally nodded.

  He smiled slightly at the man and leisurely left the place where the little episode had occurred.

  On the other hand, Sebastian was progressing smoothly. As a demon, he didn't have to exert any effort on these tests that were only meant for ordinary people. Except for some content related to knowledge of this world that he wasn't quite familiar with, but that didn't matter, Sebastian didn't need to complete all the answers to pass.

  As a demon, this kind of thing is as simple as can be.

  So basically it can be said that he arrived almost without any obstacles to a deep place, Sebastian was thinking whether he should go find Lutz.

  While Yu Rong easily stepped through a doorway and into a new path, he saw the calm-looking Xia Ke looking at him.

  He was slightly surprised and stunned for a moment, then put on a smile and ran towards the knight-errant.

  Write it on the board for the knight-errant to see.

  "It's great to meet you, I didn't expect that the knight would be even faster than me, he's really impressive."

  The knight smiled slightly, his lips pursed and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Lü didn't seem to notice anything wrong and continued writing.

  "Hmm, in that case, I think it would be easier for us to work together on the next route. I wonder if we'll be the first ones to make it through."

  Of course, Sebastian has the highest chance of being the fastest.

  The knight simply hummed and didn't say anything else.

  Lü only felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. The smiling expression on Xia Ke's face had disappeared, and although he didn't look gloomy now, his overly calm expression made Lü feel a bit uneasy.

  Just wondering what's wrong with Xia Ke, whether he encountered some annoying candidates that made him unhappy. Before writing a few words, Lu's eyes suddenly widened.

  A wave of dizziness and blurred vision.

  Lü Dai's eyes widened as he slowly lowered his head to look down, and at the position of his heart, a dagger was inserted straight in.

  ————————————————————————————————————

  Sebastian's leisurely smile froze at the corner of his mouth, he suddenly stiffened and carefully identified it again, his expression gradually becoming expressionless.

  No longer worried about disguising himself, Sebastian quickly flew in the direction of judgment.

  Her eyes gradually turned icy cold, and a hint of crimson flashed in her dark red pupils.

  Sebastian knew clearly that the bloody smell in the air came from which person.

  The author has something to say: Thank you for Heart Like Still Water's landmine, muah muah da

  I'm feeling a bit better today, but there have been too many things to worry about lately, I'll try not to delay the update.
