Chapter 247: In the depths of the labyrinth

"This is ............"

Looking at the dim labyrinth in front of him, the corners of Rod's mouth turned up slightly, the ceiling that gave people a great sense of oppression, it seemed that there were no patterns and hints, and the gray walls were almost identical as far as the eye could see, but it made Rod feel extremely familiar.

"The fifty-fifth floor of the deepest labyrinth, it turns out that the rumored body is you, Alice."

“?”

Alice's curious inquiry came from her ears, but Rhodes didn't explain. If you want to say that the labyrinth dungeon of the Dragon Soul Continent is the most familiar to players, then it is the deepest maze. As the final labyrinth of the Dragon Soul Continent, the deepest labyrinth has always been the best stage for players, especially those high-level players to show their strength. Since the danger of each layer of the deepest maze far exceeds the upper limit of the current player's average level, those who can break through the deepest maze are all extremely strong player groups on the Dragon Soul Continent, and in their hands, each layer of the deepest maze is almost all under the grassroots, and there is basically nothing missing.

On the list of the deepest maze raiders, Rod's starlight is always at the top, but others are not far behind. After all, Starlight, as the number one guild, has a lot to do besides concentrating on dungeons. Therefore, it is not possible for every layer to be broken through by Starlight first. Even if it is breached, there are still many players who will look for hidden rewards or tasks that are missed, in order to follow behind the starlight and drink soup. With their unremitting efforts, some secrets have really been dug up.

Among them, there is a rumor about the "sleeping girl on the fifty-fifth floor".

There is a rumor among players that if you go through the 55th floor of the maze the right way, then you can see a beautiful girl lying in a crystal coffin surrounded by flower petals at the exit of the 55th floor. But......... And that's all.

That's right. That's all.

Although the coffin is seen, the player cannot open it at all, because the coffin is simply a virtual image and cannot even be touched. Not only that, but there were no tasks, let alone investigations. As if she wasn't there at all. There was nothing there, just a cloud of air. And even if you use various means to bring the news of this image out of the air,,Can't activate any tasks.,There was a time when players even thought that this girl was a bug in the production team.,The task fragments that were released before they were finished.,There have also been players who complained and suggested to the official on the forum.,But there was no reply.。 This means that the girl in front of her has a task herself, but in any case, the player will not be able to receive this task. In time. Players will also regard this image as a game easter egg or something like that.,Passed on to future generations.,It's fun to watch.———,Of course,There are also some players who are thriving and have written a lot of fanfiction based on it.,Make up for the experience of the phantom girl and why she's going to die here.。

And now it seems that the answer is very obvious. That is Alice's body, and the player can't touch it, probably only because Alice has hidden her body in the past history. Of course, it is impossible for a player in the present to come into contact with things that only exist in the past. Merely......... If that's the case, then why do you have to project Alice's image in the game?

Along with Rhodes' advance. He soon discovered that the labyrinth was not the same as he remembered, except for the beginning, the rest of the place seemed to be under construction. Many humanoid black shadows are wielding tools, digging and working hard, and are working on the construction of the maze in front of them. Others walked past them talking to each other. It looks like a construction site in full swing.

Although he was very curious, because he was in the past of history, Rhodes also knew that he had no way to see who these people were. But judging by their height, if there were no child laborers, most of the people who worked here would have been dwarves and humans.

“————!!”

And just as Rhodes walked around the corner. Suddenly, a strong palpitation came from his chest, which suddenly raised Rod's vigilance. The feeling was so intense, if I had to use an analogy, it was as if I had foreseen something very, very serious about what was about to happen, not the tension of a threat to my life, but something closer to a high feeling that transcended the excitement.

What's going on?!

Rhodes paused, frowned, and carefully felt the feeling from the bottom of his heart. He clenched his fists and took a deep breath of cold air, although he didn't know what would happen in front of him, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that something very important and related to him was waiting for him in front of him. But in any case, Rhodes also knows that there is no turning back for him at present, and his only choice is to continue to move forward.

Thinking of this, Rhodes turned the corner.

The originally gloomy and dim room seemed to brighten up in an instant, and the color that originally looked dull also became vivid and alive at this moment, not only that, but the figures who only had black shadows around Rhodes before also receded the shadows on their bodies as if they were illuminated by the light at this time, and their faces and postures could be clearly seen. As Rhodes expected, most of the people currently working here are humans, and some dwarves and even elves can be seen. The dwarves are responsible for digging, the humans are responsible for building, and the elves are there to arrange something like a magic circle. Not only that, but the faint voice just now became clearer, from a background murmur to a clearly audible conversation.

"The current progress of the project is too slow, I am afraid it will be too late to ........."

"We have to step up, maybe we should ask the Dark Dragon for some more undead?"

"Are you saying that you want those brainless guys to dig this place down? Damn, if it weren't for Lao Tzu watching, those idiots would have been able to dig all the way to the center of the earth! ”

It's funny...............

Rod looked curiously at the labyrinth in front of him, it was the first time he had seen the process of making a copy. Especially like the deepest maze, if the remnants of the past can still be said to be inhabited, then this kind of maze that is clearly used for RPG clearance is very embarrassing from the point of view of rationality. And now, judging by the reactions of these people around them, they seem to be very serious about it. And it's also quite hard work.

However, just as Rhodes turned his head, a figure appeared in his eyes.

It was a girl with long black hair, she stood quietly in the open space in front of her, looking up with sad and calm eyes, wandering out of the world and wondering what Lu Dao was thinking. Soon, though. The girl sighed softly, then she lowered her head and looked in Rod's direction. And seeing the girl in front of him, Rod couldn't help but be stunned.

Christie?

No, that's not Christie.

The next moment, Rhodes discarded his opinion, and the girl in front of him was obviously older than Christie, she looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and her eyes were not purple like Christie's. Instead, it was a bright and dazzling golden color, and to be honest, the black-haired golden eyes looked a bit fake, but other than that, she was no different from Christie and Rod's looks. It can even be said that if it weren't for the difference in eye color, then Rod would have thought that he was himself after meeting women's clothing. But unlike himself, the atmosphere of the girl in front of him is soft and warm. But there is also a majesty that makes people shudder. I don't know what the road is, Rod always thinks. I should know her.

Could it be ......... No, it's just a coincidence...............

"Your Majesty."

Just as Rod frowned and thought, suddenly a voice sounded in his ears, Rod turned his head to look, but saw Alice holding the big book in her arms, slowly walking towards the girl in front of her. And see Alice's figure. The girl's smile was bright, full of kindness and warmth.

Alice......... You're here, what's going on over there? ”

"Chaos is gathering, they have already discovered the cracks in the world, and it is only a matter of time before they penetrate the protection of the dragon soul."

"yes....................."

Hear Alice's answer. The girl closed her eyes and was silent for a moment before she spoke again.

"Sure enough, the power of Chaos is as powerful as we expected, but that's all we can do, Alice."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing the girl's answer, Alice saluted her respectfully, but soon she looked up again.

"Maybe I'm going a bit too far to say this, but Your Majesty, do you really have to do it? The path to the Outer Realm is very dangerous, even if you ..............."

"That's the only way we've been able to think of so far."

The girl shook her hand slightly, interrupting Alice's speech.

"There is no difference between the future we see and the past you see, at least in terms of results. Alice, we must make changes before we are caught up in the inevitable destruction of this spiral of contradictions. We need to find a way to keep our world alive. No matter how small the possibility is, if it is repeated over and over again, then it is possible for us to turn it from an uncertain possibility into a certain fact. Whether it is hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, we will continue until we find the opportunity to truly lift this fate............... I'm sorry, but this is our waywardness. ”

"No, Your Majesty."

In the face of the girl's soft apology, Alice bowed her head deeply again.

"It is our pleasure that no matter how many times the spiral of history will turn, we will strive to fulfill your wish and let the gears of fate completely detach from its original trajectory. This is our responsibility as your dependents. ”

"Thank you, Alice, and I sincerely wish that at some point in the future, you will also be able to achieve your own happiness."

As she spoke, the girl turned her head and looked at Alice. But I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but Rod feels that her gaze seems to pass through Alice, looking straight at herself standing behind.

"In the future, I may not appear before you again, but I am confident that someone will come to you who will guide you out of this destiny. By that time..............."

“…………!!!”

Suddenly, the original noisy sounds around suddenly disappeared, and the entire world fell into silence, and the surrounding labyrinthine scenes began to fall into darkness again, instead, a bright and dazzling crystal coffin suddenly emerged from the air, and the girl inside was closing her eyes, as if she was falling into a deep sleep.

"Now, Your Majesty, please lift the seal! Destroy this coffin! ”

"Just the time to count..............."

Hearing Alice's words, Rhodes shook his head and withdrew his thoughts from the previous scene, then he raised his right hand, and soon, the silver-white holy sword appeared in Rhodes' hand. Immediately after, Rhodes' right hand swung forward vigorously, and then he saw an incomparably dazzling sword light flash, and the bright light even seemed to be split in two in the dim space in front of him. Immediately after, I saw that the hard crystal coffin was completely shattered with a "snap", and then those crystal fragments turned into countless magical brilliance wrapped around Alice's body, forming a new, dark and simple dress, and then the girl slowly fell from the sky with her eyes closed, lying in Rod's arms.

At the same time, suddenly, a voice appeared in Rod's ears.

“……… I'll leave it to you, brother, ........." (to be continued......
