Mythical Invasion of the Heavens

Chapter 71 The Identity of the NPC

Hearing the news in his ears, Lin Yuan was not surprised.

What Qiao Bailang said was that the mysterious NPC was following them not far behind.

The mysterious NPC pays special attention to the Minotaur. They are now going to open the mechanism to release the Minotaur, and they will naturally appear at the end.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan decided to swindle out the real identity of the NPC, to see if it was what he thought in his heart.

Anyway, he has the two keys, as long as he doesn't insert them, Liesel can only worry.

Even Lisle can fool NPCs, so it is conceivable how stupid the mysterious NPC is, the key person in this dungeon.

As long as you can ask for a little information, you can find loopholes and infer your real body.

The four of them quickly walked to the living area. They had walked back and forth so many times, and they had already memorized the road here.

Arriving at the core square with ease, the round living mechanism in the middle is still in place.

Lisle excitedly ran forward, took out a key from her chest, and inserted it into the cylinder.

After the key is entered, it rotates automatically, and then it is stuck and locked.

It was very difficult to pull it out again, Lin Yuan was glad that he didn't try to insert the key at that time, otherwise he really couldn't pull it out.

After inserting the key, Lisl was extremely happy.

She has never had the feeling of controlling everything in the dungeon just now, and the excitement has not passed yet.

"Lin, insert those two of yours, and we can meet the legendary Minotaur!"

Liesel said to Lin Yuan, in her opinion, this mission is coming to an end.

Lin Yuan shook his head. For him, this mission has just reached the point, and everything before is just a beginning.

Seeing Lin Yuan rejecting her request, Liesel stood there blankly.

She wanted to ask Lin Yuan why, but seeing the three of them, and only one of her own, she was instantly overwhelmed. This feeling was like falling from the sky.

Lisle, who controls everything in the secret path, is a lonely person when she comes here.

No one helped her. After all, she had just threatened everyone's life. Who could settle her suspicions.

Therefore, Lisl shut her mouth wisely.

Lin Yuan is waiting, waiting for the NPC to appear, he believes it won't take long, and he doesn't need to figure it out himself.

Sure enough, seeing that the four of them did not make any further moves, the sound of pattering footsteps appeared.

From the broken wall passage, the mysterious NPC walked out.

"Now, let's talk about it." Lin Yuan watched the NPC appear, and a big stone fell in his heart. Since it came out, it represented a compromise.

The mysterious NPC nodded and said silently, "What do you want to talk about?"

"The origin of your identity, and your purpose."

Lin Yuan went straight to the point. He vaguely felt that this was the key to the dungeon. Cannibalism and killing the Minotaur were superficial tasks.

The mysterious old NPC began to hesitate, he was thinking.

Lin Yuan didn't respond at all, no matter what the NPC's thinking was, he must have something to say in the end, otherwise the mechanism leading to the Minotaur would not be opened for him.

"I can only say one thing, my son was cursed by the Minotaur, so I must enter the Minotaur's core labyrinth."

In the end, the NPC did not reveal his name, and did not answer other questions.

Reminiscent of what he had said when he was pretending to be the maze guardian Samantha, Lin Yuan asked, "Maze guardian, you should have killed me."

"...That's right, he didn't want to open the Minotaur's gate."

The mysterious NPC nodded. He entered the maze and threatened the real maze guardian, but unfortunately he rejected himself.

In the end, the only option was to be killed by him. Thinking about it now, it was still too impulsive.

Hearing that the NPC did not reveal the truth, Lin Yuan thought for a while, determined to try the name he had guessed, and pretended to say: "You don't need to hide it, I know it all, you are Daedalus right?"

Daedalus, the maker of the labyrinth, Lin Yuan denied this person before because he had no reason.

But after a series of events, no one else fits except Daedalus.

"..."

The NPC stared at Lin Yuan, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

"Don't look at me like this. I know more than you think. If you don't tell the truth, I can only leave. We also have methods like Meng Liang's before."

Lin Yuan looked serious, and said solemnly, anyway, this NPC is easy to be persuaded.

Lisl could even fool an NPC, let alone him.

The NPC sighed and said slowly, "Yes, I am the builder of the maze, Daedalus."

A familiar name to Athenians, the famous skilled craftsman, Daedalus.

It really was this person, Lin Yuan's eyes became more relaxed, the key person was indeed him, and he was the only one who was familiar with various organs.

Only he will be restricted from using the key because he knows the path of the maze.

It is worried that he will open the core labyrinth of Minotaur and release Minotaur.

Moreover, Daedalus had a son, Icarus, who flew too high with wings made of wax and feathers, and the wings melted and fell into the sea and died.

This story, however, is a bit inconsistent with Daedalus' telling that his son was cursed.

Myth and reality, Lin Yuan decisively chose to listen to Daedalus in front of him and continue to narrate. Myths are just what everyone spreads, not necessarily the truth.

"Oh, it's like this. My son and I fled to Crete. The King of Crete knew our fame, so he asked us to build a maze with interlaced light and dark passages, so he was willing to take us in."

Daedalus' eyes were cloudy, as if he had returned to the time when he first came to Crete.

Building a maze is very simple for Daedalus. You only need to draw a blueprint, and then you can find someone to start construction.

At the beginning, Daedalus was also flustered because of the murder, and he didn't think about it.

So he agreed, and according to the idea of ​​King Crete, he built a labyrinth that could hold powerful creatures, which is now the Minos labyrinth.

Unfortunately, it's time to kill the donkey. When Daedalus was full of yearning for a new life, a group of royal guards began to hunt down Daedalus.

Not caring too much about Daedalus, he could only pack up some of his tools and food at random, and hid in the maze with his son.

Daedalus, who was very familiar with the maze, used the maze to kill many soldiers.

If things go on like this, no one is coming in. The king of Crete has no choice but to invest in various monsters, hoping to kill Daedalus.

As for the tribute every nine years, that's just for fun.

The Minotaur was the wife of the king of Crete, and she was born to a bull. The family scandal cannot be publicized, and the king of Crete couldn't find a way to kill it, so he wished that the monster would starve to death.

The hostages thrown in every year are only food for those monsters. Over time, this place has become a gathering place for monsters.

That's why Daedalus came in in the first place.

It can be seen that Daedalus regretted it very much, especially because of jealousy, he killed his nephew and lost his life without worrying about food and clothing.
