This time, I won't be the devil.

If you continue to grow bigger and stronger, then getting enough gold to upgrade the [Golden Rule] does not seem to be an impossible thing.

"Do you want to continue looking for monsters?" Wright asked.

"No need. Once the experience is absorbed and the monsters are almost refreshed, just wait here."

But just waiting there wasn't a solution, so Frey took the initiative to bring up the topic:

"Speaking of which, Wright, where are you from?"

Unlike before, they are now fighting side by side, so Frey feels it necessary to get to know Wright a little bit.

"I'm not too sure either."

"Didn't your parents tell you?"

"I've never met my mother, so I'll just pretend she doesn't exist. As for my father... I'm not his biological child."

"I am an orphan. Before I could remember anything, I was adopted by an old knight from the Theocracy. He taught me what chivalry is."

"My adoptive father, the old knight, died when I was 13 years old."

"Before my adoptive father died, he told me that I had the national emblem of the Principality of Jiji tattooed on my back when I was a child, so I must have been born in the Principality of Jiji."

"No wonder you chose that King Gigi when casting for the stage play."

When the Age of Law just ended and humanity began to fall into an era of division, on the land where the Terra Federation is now located, there was a country called the Principality of Gigi, which was once the overlord of the southern continent.

Later, as the Federation developed magical mechas, the Principality of Gigi gradually fell behind in the competition, its territory shrank again and again, and was finally completely annexed by the Federation in 980 of the Aiden calendar.

Considering Wright's age, he should have been born when the Principality of Gigi was about to fall.

"After that, I entered the Knight Academy and later joined the Holy Light Knights."

"Then why were you expelled from the Knights?"

Faced with this question, Wright's face became much heavier.

"Four years ago, shortly after the old Pope passed away, we received a mission to suppress a group of rioting civilians."

"I was still an intern at the time, and the team leader, the knight, asked me to fight someone, but I refused."

"Later, I gradually understood that the so-called Holy Light Knights had no chivalry at all..."

After opening up, Wright continued to talk about his own experience.

"After becoming an adventurer, I was spotted by the former president of YG and joined the guild."

"At that time, YG would also accept some dangerous commissions, but the chairman would assign tasks according to each member's ability to ensure everyone's safety as much as possible."

"But a year ago, our guild accepted a commission to defeat the elite monster on the 1th floor, the Wind-Erosion Sandworm."

"We won. After defeating the sandworm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, the monster suddenly launched a desperate counterattack. To protect us, the guild leader blocked the sandworm's attack and sacrificed himself..."

"After the previous president died, Sabi was elected as the new president."

"Sabi's personality is completely different from the previous leader. He's shifted all the guild's resources to the few people around him. He's also used his achievements in defeating the wind-eroded sandworms as a signboard and has begun aggressively recruiting new members."

"Sabi began to frequently accept difficult commissions, and when crises arose, he would simply abandon the weaker guild members, even using them as bait."

"I couldn't stand his behavior, so I had a few big arguments with him. Then he and his followers ostracized me, and I finally quit the guild..."

After learning about Wright's experience, Frey roughly understood why he had developed the personality he has today.

Wright seemed to deliberately omit some details in his story, but Frey did not intend to delve into them.

After chatting about this, the two continued to repeat killing monsters and resting, constantly gaining experience.

In the following days, under Mono's continuous publicity and mobilization, in addition to the 100 people who signed up that night, a large number of adventurers signed up to participate in the expedition.

Due to the excess number of people, after screening, 300 brave adventurers were finally selected, half of whom were gold-level, and there were more than 20 diamond-level ones like Sabi.

It can be said that among the entire city’s adventurer group, nearly two-thirds of the high-end combat forces participated in this operation.

After a series of preparations, on February 2, the day known as the Dragon Raising its Head, this huge team set out on the journey to the 2th floor of the maze amid the farewells of the people of the entire city.

Chapter 84 Magic Lv2

February 2nd, according to legend, was the day when the Longshi War broke out a thousand years ago.

The ancient dragons initially disdained the human attacks, and they were even unwilling to bow their heads to look down on these inferior creatures.

The arrogance of the dragon clan is also one of the reasons why humans can achieve ultimate victory.

It is said that when King Aiden faced these high and mighty ancient dragons, he said:

“You hold your head too high.”

Later, in order to commemorate the event, February 2nd was called the Dragon Raising its Head. The implication is that humans should learn lessons from ancient dragons and not be blindly arrogant or underestimate their opponents.

In the books and picture books that describe this story, there must be a famous quote from King Aiden:

"Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, but arrogance is..."

The Holy See deliberately chose today to launch the expedition, probably hoping that this operation to reinforce the seal of the corpse dragon would be victorious like the Dragon Poetry War a thousand years ago.

That morning, Mono organized a grand farewell ceremony for the expedition team. All the important figures in the entire Maze City were to attend, and Frey was naturally among them.

In addition, the ceremony site was also crowded with ordinary people who came to watch the fun. This was not because people responded to Mono's call, but because the Holy Lady of Light Selina of the Theocracy would appear in person.

This is the first time that the Saint has come to a remote area like the Labyrinth City, and everyone wants to take this opportunity to see her beauty.

It turns out that the saint herself is far more stunning than the portraits and projection magic show.

Not only does she have a beautiful face and outstanding figure, but she is also always surrounded by a holy light, like the incarnation of a goddess on earth.

The moment he saw her, Frey was stunned.

He was not shocked by the girl's beauty, but because he saw the girl's face plate through [Identification].

[Name: Selina Carroll]

[Race: Human]

【Level: 35】

[Soul Strength: 5.9]

[Occupation: Holy Maiden of Light]

[Attribute panel: Strength 26.7, Endurance 27.3, Agility 33.4, Magic 49.5]

The soul strength of 5.9 is enough to prove the saint's uniqueness.

Frey originally thought that the so-called saint was just a mascot with little combat power, but now it seems that she does have extremely high potential, otherwise she would not be able to perform various ceremonies as the spokesperson for the goddess Alice.

What concerned Frey more was her last name - Carol.

In the official records of the Holy See, Saint Selina has no surname and her background is kept strictly confidential. People only know that she was chosen as a saint three years ago.

Since the saint's actual last name was Carol, she and the old Pope obviously had a close relationship.

But old Pope Carol never married and had no relatives in his life.

Could she be an illegitimate daughter or something? But judging by her age, she should be a granddaughter or even a great-granddaughter.

After taking the stage, Saint Selina gave a brief speech. There was nothing special about the content of her speech, but she seemed to have a natural idol temperament that deeply attracted people's attention.

Frey's eyes were also focused on the huge treasure chest on the girl's chest. Although he only saw it from a distance, he quickly determined that Selina's size was similar to Shiloh's.

After the ceremony, the expedition team gathered and, surrounded by the people, they came to the entrance of the maze leading to the fifth level.

The five entrances to Grimgar's maze are not connected to each other. Take the entrance in front as an example. Its purpose is to allow adventurers to quickly reach the fifth level (41st to 50th floors) from the ground to begin exploration.

Behind this entrance is a spiral passage built vertically, which allows one to quickly pass through the first 40 floors and down to the 41st floor.

After reaching the 41st floor, the passage will turn into a spacious main road.

The other major levels, including the third and fourth levels that Frey often visits now, also have similar structures. First, use the spiral channel to quickly descend to the corresponding level, and then explore the maze along the main path.

The reason why the areas around the main roads can become safe zones from monster attacks, in addition to the defensive barriers set up on the periphery, is that there is a translucent light band called the "Magic Stone Line" in the center of these roads.

The existence of magic stone lines can disperse monsters in the maze, preventing them from approaching easily.

The magic stone lines in the maze today were left behind more than 400 years ago.

Between 500 and 600 of the Aiden calendar, at the end of the Age of Law, the hero Green sealed the corpse dragon. During the 100 years when the Faith of the Seven Gods had not yet taken shape, the earliest group of adventurers defeated the guardian of the maze, set up the magic stone line, and paved the right path to the 50th floor.

Those 100 years were also known as the golden age of the labyrinth city.

But afterwards, as the century-long War of the Seven Gods broke out in the human camp, all the powerful people joined the war, and maze exploration fell into decline.

After the holy war began, Grimgar was even occupied by the demons for a time.

It was not until the city was recaptured in 901 that the Federation used magical equipment to repair and expand the main road in order to obtain the magic stones in the maze, which led to the current situation.

Today, the maintenance of the main road has been handed over to the Holy See. The reason why the maze is closed during the last two weeks of the year is to maintain the road and strengthen the barrier.

However, since the technology for setting up the magic stone line was lost in the war, the Church was unable to pave a new path.

The expedition team will follow the right path to reach the 50th floor of the maze. For the next 10 floors, they can only move down through the natural paths in the maze while fighting monsters.

Although the expedition team is very strong, the operation will still take about half a month, so a large amount of supplies need to be prepared. Some of the adventurers participating in the expedition were divided into the logistics team.

The person who manages this logistics transport team is none other than the president of the YG Guild, the diamond-level adventurer Saby.

Compared with others, this team not only has an easier job, but is also at the center of the team during the march and has the highest safety factor.

Sabi is getting better now and has become the transport team leader.

At noon, the expedition team officially entered the maze amid music and blessings.

Due to the limited area of ​​the spiral passage, they decided to enter in batches and then line up again when they reached the main road.

The logistics team that Sabie was in was the last to enter. By the time it was their turn, the music had already ended and the crowd had dispersed.

Looking at the deserted scene around him, Sabi, who longed to be admired by everyone, felt a little dissatisfied. In his imagination, for a brave hero like him, someone should come to see him off specially.

For example, the girl who played the princess in the previous stage play.

Sabie still hasn't found out the girl's true identity. Mono should know it, but he is unwilling to reveal it.

Just when Sabi was feeling disappointed, a melodious bamboo flute sound came from a distance.

He still remembered that the girl who played the princess in the stage play had performed a flute performance. It seemed that she appeared at the last moment.

Just when Sabi was feeling excited, he found that there seemed to be more than one person playing the flute, and after the flute sound ended, a cheerful suona sound rang out.
