Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"A maze made of illusions, interesting?"

Lu Ren thought in his mind at this time, if what everyone is facing is hallucination, what will their bodies look like in the real world? Have they all passed out?

"I spent a lot of effort to recreate this core."

Drews sat in his seat and said that after seeing Isa destroying its core, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"You have quite a lot of experience."

"It's okay. You've been adventuring outside for so long, so you have to have some experience, right?"

Facing Lu Ren's words, Drews stroked his beard and laughed. He felt very happy today, as if he wanted to smile back all the smiles he had had for decades.

"You know, what we faced back then was much more dangerous than this."

"How do you say this?"

Lu Ren showed a very cooperative expression of curiosity, which also made Drews very satisfied, so he began to tell his ancient story again.

------

During one of her adventures, Isa discovered an underground city. Just like in various works, this is a man-made facility. Although Mostier felt that there might be danger inside, everyone decided to go in and take a look.

However, this time they were in bad luck. As soon as they entered, everyone fell into an illusion.

At first, everyone woke up in darkness. They couldn't get out or send any information. They didn't even know what happened to their companions. Anxiety and panic enveloped everyone.

It had to be Mostier. He was the first to break the illusion and break the dark space with his attacks. Then he came to the maze of illusions.

After some exploration, Mostier found other members who were unconscious in the maze and helped them wake up.

------

"I still remember the sad and anxious expression on Isa's face after she woke up. She is usually very stern and not very good at communicating. This time, she felt very guilty when everyone fell into the hallucination."

Drews began to recall that time again. It was also the first time he saw Isa with such big mood swings.

"Then how do you know how to solve this maze?"

Lu Ren was like a curious child at this time, always eager to ask Drews questions. This also made Drews feel very relieved that someone was finally willing to listen to his story so attentively.

------

To be honest, the team members comforted Isa while exploring the maze. I don’t know how long it took, but everyone was tired, so they started to rest at a crossroads.

When Libis lit a bonfire, he was surprised to find that bursts of smoke penetrated the walls and filled the ceiling.

This undoubtedly gave everyone a message, that this wall did not exist in the first place? Why else would the smoke pass right through the wall? But when everyone hit the wall hard, the touch was so real.

In the end, Mostier made the decision. He planned to give it a go and destroy the wall directly. But when everyone started to destroy the wall and continued to explore, they found that the destroyed wall would repair itself over time. It was not possible to walk forward aimlessly like this, so everyone began to stop and discuss countermeasures.

"Huh? What is this? Look quickly."

Ellie was resting against a wall at this time, and she accidentally discovered something that seemed to be slightly different on a stone tile on the wall.

After careful observation, everyone discovered that there were small dark red lines on this stone brick.

But what does this mean? People still don't understand. But since they discovered the anomaly, everyone decided to give it a try. The team members began to destroy the walls with such patterns. They advanced along the lines, and finally discovered the core of the entire maze.

------

"After Mostier carefully destroyed it, everyone was freed from the illusion. But unfortunately, they did not get any loot this time."

After hearing this story, Lu Ren still didn't understand a few things. Who is it that creates this illusion there, and what is its purpose? And why are there hints left for the people in the maze?

Drews also saw Lu Ren's doubts. He closed his eyes and smiled, as if waiting for Lu Ren to ask him.

And Lu Ren also sensed Druce's state. She couldn't help complaining about this bad old man in her heart. It would have been better if he told her directly instead of trying to hide it like this.

"So, could you please tell me, who created this illusion? And for what purpose? Why is there a hint in it?"

"Tell Duck."

At this time, Yaya also jumped on Lu Ren's head and sat down. It seemed that she was tired from playing just now and wanted to take a rest now.

"Hmph, don't worry."

The old man stroked his beard mysteriously again, which made Lu Ren have the urge to go up and pull out his beard.

------

After the core was destroyed, Drews collected all its fragments, and after research, Drews discovered that the core was made of materials he had never seen before.

Drews searched everywhere after that, but still had no news of finding this material. In desperation, he had to use the existing wreckage to repair it.

During the restoration process, Drews discovered that the material was highly malleable and he was able to restore it with little effort. But even though it was said to be restored, Drews still didn't fully understand how it worked.

And during Drews' research, he discovered that this core was like a precise instrument that would operate automatically. Its power source is magic power. When Drust injects magic power into it, the core starts to run. Fortunately, the magic power it uses now comes from Drust, so that the latter can easily control it.

But who its original owner was is still unclear. Even now, Drews doesn't know about this issue. He just got the core in that incident. As for other issues, they have not been clarified until now.

As for why there are prompts in the maze, this seems to be a built-in function of the core. No matter how much adjustment Drulus makes, he cannot change the operating logic of the core. He can only control the startup and shutdown of the core like a power switch.

------

"Speaking of which, after Isa saw me repairing the core, she asked me to destroy it nervously. It can be seen that the experience left a lot of pressure on her."

Drews said with a smile. At this time, he looked at the screen in the control room and saw that everyone participating in the test had entered the next room.

Lu Ren also noticed Druce's eyes, so she patted Yaya again and asked him to tell her about Amy and the others.
