Rey asked Maxin about the specific situation of Labyrinth City.
He only heard about that place from Emily's mouth, and the latter had never actually been there.
The Labyrinth City is a city built around the entrance of a giant maze, also known as the Lawless City.
There are creatures of all races there, resulting in quite chaotic security. Although a special police station has been set up, they still can't control it.
Labyrinth City is like a small country. The major guilds and industries are very complete and can be completely self-sufficient. It is only divided into the Kingdom of Luni according to regions.
There are naturally a lot of strong people inside, and it is rumored that there are even S-class adventurers famous in various countries.
More than 90% of the people living in the labyrinth city have the status of adventurers.
Since dungeons do not drop magic stones, special instruments are used to record the number of monsters killed.
As for why adventurers are needed to clean up monsters, it is because of a curse in the legend.
Once upon a time, the underground city gave birth to an ultimate beast with endless power that could destroy the world.
In that battle, all the races on the continent united to fight, but they still could not prevent the crisis of annihilation.
So the gods came to the world, and the gods sealed the monster but failed to kill it.
The monsters pouring out of the dungeon are the power of monster resurrection. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, people continue to enter the dungeon to fight against the monsters.
Rey felt as if he had heard a story, and he asked curiously, "Is that curse true?"
Maxin spread her hands and said, "Who knew you could make money if you cleaned up the monsters? Why would you want to do so much? And if you become stronger, there will be a floor master who refreshes every ten floors every week. If you defeat the floor master, the dungeon will reward you."
Rey expressed his understanding, judging from the game in his previous life.
That is, every ten levels represent a realm, which is equivalent to a large stratum.
Starting from the release of magic power, the fortieth level is the limit of advanced magicians.
Then every time before reaching the next level, there will be a boss to check it.
Rey checked it out again, and another question emerged in his mind: "You said that the dungeon will give rewards. Does it appear automatically after killing the floor master?"
"Yes, people call this a reward from the gods."
"What if someone with a higher level repeatedly brushes the floor owner in front of him?"
"It's impossible,"
Maxin smiled, "The floor master's state is very strange.
It will automatically become the same realm as the person with the highest strength among the challengers.
Therefore, it is usually a group of well-prepared talents of the same realm who challenge.
By the way, the minimum strength of the floor leader is a senior magician, and the number of people who can challenge is limited to ten."
The realm is so high! And it really looks like a copy of the game.
Maxin continued: "The floor owner is in a separate hidden room and can choose to skip it directly, but it is said that the rewards are quite generous. The fewer challengers, the better the rewards."
After saying this, Rey became interested. "Do you know what you will get if you challenge it alone?"
Maxin shook her head and looked at him strangely. "Floor owners are usually fusion monsters, which are much stronger than ordinary monsters.
Some floor owners also have accompanying king-level monsters.
There is no way a person in the same realm has a chance of winning.
You, even if you reach the realm in the future, don't do that."
King-level monsters are the kings among ordinary monsters and are far stronger than monsters of the same level in the same realm.
The demon wolf that Rey killed was only a wolf king species, not even a wolf king yet. The realm was still upgraded, and it was much stronger than monsters of the same level.
The king level is above that, and the floor masters above the king level will only be more exaggerated!
Rey feels that he can only hope to win if he reaches the level of a high-level magician and his combat power rating is still S-level.
Rey thanked Maxine and planned to wait until he actually went to the labyrinth city to give an answer.
After hearing what he said, Maxin had no choice but to go back first.
He absorbed a lot of knowledge at once and learned about many existences far more powerful than himself.
Rey's impetuous heart slowly calmed down due to the challenge.
The junior magician is still too weak. He is invincible in this small town, but outside, he is really not good enough.
He still can't see through Emily's strength; she is probably a high-level magician!
Next time, improve your combat power first, Rey decided.
······
As soon as Rey yawned and lay down on the bed, he heard someone knocking on the door.
He was a little confused, but when he opened the door, he realized it was Lettice.
"What's the matter?"
Anyway, he invited Lettice in first.
Although I don't know her original preferences, now, Lettice is wearing a pink pajama dress and really looks like a little girl.
Letis was silent for a while, then looked up at Rey. "Brother, I want to talk about Emily."
Because she is a good friend of Rey's sister, she will call her brother directly when there are only two of them.
Hearing Emily's name from her mouth, Rey instantly knew that what she was talking about was that Emily was going to be sold by him.
He said calmly, "That matter is the same as what you heard."
Lettice's pupils trembled, and she was obviously shaken. "Really, do you have to sell Emily?"
Rey poured her a glass of water and asked her to calm down. "Although it's not something we must do, we have definitely decided to sell her, and it will be tomorrow."
Lettice seemed to have caught something. "Can I not do it? Then can I not sell it?"
"No."
Faced with Lettice's hopeful gaze, Rey rejected it without mercy.
Then he scratched his head and said, "At least this decision will not change now, and I will not help her."
Even though Lettice made it clear again and again, he still didn't let go.
Watching Letis leave in despair, Rey sighed.
Immediately, Tilu came out from the side, her pink eyes full of apology. "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't mean to see it."
"I know."
Rey is still thinking about what happened just now. Because of this incident, Letis may have some opinions about him, but there is nothing she can do about it.
Tilu looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Master, if Emily asks you for help, will you help her?"
Rey raised her head and looked at Tilu, who smiled beautifully under his gaze.
So he couldn't help laughing.
Tilu seems to understand herself better and better.
Yes, he will help.
But the premise is that Emily asks him for help or requests.
He told Emily from the beginning that if she would give her reasons, he might be able to help.
But Emily didn't say anything. All he knew was that the other party was the original aristocrat whose country had perished, and nothing else.
If a person has no intention of being rescued, there is no point in extending a helping hand.
Looking back, the reason why he put himself into crisis in the first place and wanted to save Tiru was because she tried hard to ask for help from him.
Rey couldn't help but stroke Tilu's pink hair. "What do you want to see me for?"
Tilu raised her head, feeling comfortable, and leaned over with her petite body.
"Blood, I need the blood of the master."
"Then come in."
