Chapter 219 Don't do this, I'm scared

The two girls stared at each other, wide-eyed.

So engrossed in experiencing the wonder of this ancient ruin, they didn't notice that they had already wandered into a maze-like path.

“I think we should go back to the entrance. From there, we can see directly where these roads lead and then decide which path to take,” Celia suggested.

Elena shook her head: "Based on my experience exploring many puzzle-solving ancient ruins, we may not be able to return to the entrance before we leave this labyrinth."

She looked toward the entrance to the maze. "Look, we can't see the entrance anymore. If we go there now, we'll either feel like we're going nowhere, or we'll end up on another path."

Having no prior experience in such exploration, Celia asked, "So what should we do now?"

Elena said confidently, "Let's keep moving forward, recording all the paths we've taken, until we find the way out."

Celia: "...This method sounds so stupid. You can usually get out of a maze by walking all the paths, but here..."

Celia looked up at the road in the sky, feeling that this three-dimensional maze couldn't possibly be explored in such an exhaustive way.

“This is the simplest and safest puzzle. As long as we keep going left until we reach a dead end, then turn back and continue going left, we can definitely get out,” Elena said confidently.

“What if… the maze is dynamic? For example, it might automatically adjust the paths and bring the paths we’ve already walked back to us,” Celia said.

Elena remained silent.

After a while, she said, "Celia, you can't keep thinking about these demoralizing things. Dynamic mazes... is that something a human can do? Besides, no matter which ruin it is, there won't be any dead ends. Don't worry, although I don't know why, there really won't be any dead ends."

Ross laughed and said, "Elena is right. There can't be any dead ends. This is a law of the world. This maze is a dynamic maze, so there can't be any dead ends. Even if we try to force our way out, it will leave us a way out. Of course... whether it will give you any surprises during this time, we don't know."

Say 'surprise' and Celia will understand.

"Are they like the monsters in the lighthouse, appearing out of nowhere?"

Ross didn't say anything, he just smiled.

Celia speculated to herself, "But Elena said that puzzle-solving ruins don't have monsters, only traps. So this trap will probably be in some unexpected place."

Ross nodded. "You're half right."

Celia didn't dwell on her partner, because Ross would say what he wanted to say.

She told Elena her guess, and Elena agreed, saying, "Your guess is correct, so..."

A vibrant green light emanated from her, and blessings were added to her and Celia's puppets.

Elena said, "Although everyone is using puppets now, many of our elven spells make the puppets' effects completely different from ours, so we should use our own blessing spells."

Under Elena's blessing spell, Celia felt that her puppet's physical strength and magical power had increased by at least 20%.

This 20% bonus may seem small, but for a magic laser gun like Celia's, it's a huge boost.

The girl's confidence, like Elena's, also grew.

The two set off.

As you move forward, the entire three-dimensional space seems to rotate slightly.

It's very subtle and hard to notice without careful observation.

After setting off, Celia used her Mage's Hand to perform a circular radar scan, just like Ross did, and immediately noticed this subtle change.

However, it is not yet clear what this change will lead to.

After she mentioned it to Elena, the two continued on their way.

Soon, they arrived at a crossroads.

All three intersections lead to winding paths that disappear into the void, making it impossible to determine which one is the correct one.

“At the first intersection, following the left-hand rule, we’ll go left first,” Elena said.

Celia nodded. "Let's leave some markers at the intersection to avoid creating a roundabout that makes us keep going around in circles."

"it is good."

The experienced Elena took out a copper coin, activated the simple runes on it with magic, and threw it into the middle of the intersection. "A copper coin can hold some magic; it's the best marker."

Elena smiled slightly.

After leaving their mark, they continued on their way.

Before long, they reached the end of the road.

A gleaming golden treasure chest awaited them at the end of the road.

Behind the treasure chest lies an endless void, with countless paths floating in it.

"It's a treasure chest! What amazing luck!" Elena exclaimed excitedly as she ran up to it.

Celia quickly said, "It might be a trap, don't run so fast."

"I know!" Elena ran over, holding a scroll in her hand, ready to tear it open, and then commanded the puppet to step forward and open the treasure chest.

Nothing happened.

The puppet took something out of the treasure chest.

The two stared wide-eyed.

"Pure Magic Crystal?!"

What appeared before the two of them was a crystal-clear, pure magic crystal!

This one is much purer than the one on Celia's staff!

"This……"

The two looked at each other, not daring to let the puppet take the magic crystal.

They wouldn't be so afraid if the treasure chest contained a low-level or mid-level magic crystal, or even a high-level magic crystal.

However, this is a pure magic crystal, and it's only been a short time since we entered the ruins, before we encountered any dangerous traps. We've found a pure magic crystal that could be used as the final treasure of the ruins...

No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right!

"Do you want it?" Elena asked, looking at Celia.

The door was opened by Celia, and Elena came in entirely by taking advantage of Celia's presence. She was also very self-aware and followed Celia's wishes in everything.

"Let me think about it," Celia said, looking very conflicted.

She couldn't help but look at Ross, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Ross said calmly, "If I have to make every decision for you, how can you become stronger? How can you learn to discern for yourself?"

But in reality, it wasn't that Ross didn't want to talk about it.

He just wanted to see what choice Celia would make.

Rather than making all the decisions himself and treating Celia like a game character he controls, Ross now prefers to observe from the sidelines and watch how Celia chooses.

That's what makes it interesting.

Of course, it's also nice to occasionally make your own choices and see what happens.

At the same time, Ross is trying his best not to figure out anything about the ruins, in order to get a surprise.

Unable to obtain instructions from Ross, Celia could only repeatedly use the Mage's Hand and other means to check the authenticity of the magic crystal and the traps it might trigger.

But nothing was found.

It seems that this really is just an ordinary pure magic crystal.

After hesitating for a long time, Celia gritted her teeth and said, "Take it! What's there to be afraid of! Even if it's a trap, I'll at least see what kind of trap it is before I'm satisfied. It's better than cowardly throwing it away!"

　I have some things to do today, so the later updates might be a little late. Please check back tomorrow!
