Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

The dense light curtain is as solid as a wall, but you can magically step into it by rushing forward.

The body felt like it was passing through a film of water. The chest felt stuffy and the vision turned blue. Looking around, it was vast and boundless. An unknown distant echo passed by my ears, as if a vague breath came from countless dimensions.

Ethereal singing, mechanical roar, unknown whispers, strong winds and tides, leaves, and the distant and ancient drone of a whale...

In a trance, Fan Wei seemed to catch a familiar tone, a language that he would never forget! But before he could follow it with his eyes, a light suddenly lit up! He was pulled back to reality by the oncoming airflow.

Already entered the maze.

"Our target this time is the 'Ten Down Two Sides' area. Let's go!" Before everyone could stand firmly, Yani, the team leader, raised her fist to signal.

"Don't worry, Yani." Roddy smiled helplessly, "This is Fan's first time in the maze, so at least give him some time to get used to it."

"Nagging!" Yani puffed up her cheeks in frustration.

"How could I not know? I was just encouraging the newcomers and boosting their spirits!"

Fan Wei breathed a sigh of relief, getting rid of the shock and trance just now, and put on a warm smile again.

"Um... Rody, did you hear anything when you passed through the light gate just now?" His eyes flickered. He thought that his hometown, which was out of reach, seemed to have only a trace in the maze.

"Is it a distant call? A strange sound?" Rody smiled and seemed not surprised. "Everyone who comes to the maze for the first time will hear a special sound."

"There are many theories about this, let's talk as we go."

Fan Wei's eyes narrowed, and he realized that there was a huge stone brick passage in front of him. Oil lamps and torches were lit on both sides of the old walls. A cold wind blew from the front. More than one team of adventurers came out of the light gate and headed forward.

"Fan, let me introduce you to this. This is the entrance area of ​​the first level maze, the 'Ancient Ruins'."

Rody, with a gentle voice, slowly reached out his hand, turned around and introduced to Fan Wei: "Some adventurers call this place the Remains of the Old World!"

"This statement is because not only the first floor of the maze, but also in the lower floors and the outside world, many ancient buildings with similar styles have been discovered.

It’s like the footprints left by an unknown country in history.”

There was some excitement in his sea-blue eyes.

"Some people speculate that perhaps the maze was built by an ancient civilized empire long before our time. They possessed superb magical skills, dug underground, explored different time and space, and eventually disappeared from the world for unknown reasons."

"And the maze remains in the world as an immortal achievement."

"Explore different time and space?" Fan Wei wondered in astonishment, "Can this ancient civilization already explore other worlds?"

"Yes, there are many creatures in the maze that don't exist in the outside world, and there are even old portals that connect to different time and space." Rody smiled, "The topic has gone a bit off topic. In fact, most of these statements are just speculations."

"Just like the sound you hear, it may come from the sea of ​​memory left over from ancient civilizations. Everyone hears it differently."

"The Sea of ​​Ancient Memories..." Fan Wei remembered this term firmly.

To be honest, he was not sure whether the sound he just heard was an illusion, but the maze seemed to reveal some possibilities to him, and attraction naturally arose.

Raising the wooden stick in his hand that was nearly shoulder-high, Rody closed his eyes and devoutly recited some soft words.

The white stone on the top of the staff emitted light, and dazzling little balls of light flew out and stopped above everyone's head.

"Illumination, a first-level divine spell, can maintain brightness for two hours."

He introduced with a smile, turned around and continued to lead the way, "Our target is the area below the second side of the 'Ancient Ruins'. Ten points to the ten o'clock direction outside this safe area. Go straight along the road to the first drop-off point."

"Then follow the two o'clock direction and explore the distance for half a day."

"I see." This explanation was very easy to understand, and Fan Wei finally had a substantial understanding of the adventurers' activity patterns.

He walked out of the passage with his teammates, holding the ball of light. A bustling scene suddenly unfolded before their eyes. Looking around, the warm yellow lights were as bright as nebulae, and the coming and going of people was even more lively than the square on the ground!

Countless bricks, stones and wood are used to build houses, embellished with various decorations, and interwoven horizontally and vertically to form a complete market.

Heraldic flags spread out across the streets, and strange underground plants grow lushly, creating a unique exotic atmosphere.

"The real adventurer's exchange is, of course, in the maze!"

Rody held out his hand with a hint of pride, and enthusiastically introduced it to Fan Wei, who was shocked and overwhelmed: "This is the real adventurer's market, with the freshest materials and first-hand maze information!"

"If you're lucky, you might even find some secret treasures. They're much more reliable than the vendors on the ground!"

"But you still need some vision." When the magician said this, he interrupted with a melancholy look in his eyes and took another sip of wine. "Back then, I was cheated of my savings of several years here. Uh~hiccup..."

"Bernoulli, why are you drinking again?" The half-man Norma frowned and shook his head.

"Forget it, Uncle Bernoulli is thinking about his sad things again, let him dwell on the past." Rody smiled helplessly.

Fan Wei also smiled bitterly, always feeling that the uncle must have had a very tragic experience!

His eyes swept across the various stalls, and he looked up at the ceiling above his head. There were passages near and far, and cool breezes were blowing. It looked like a complete dungeon.

"Rodi, is the maze street above here?" Fan Wei asked, pointing above everyone's heads with a curious look.

"Not anymore." Yani put her hands on her hips and answered the question for her brother.

"This problem has been explored before, but there is nothing above except rocks and soil. The maze is no longer in the same world as where we live."

"This is..." The girl showed a sinister expression, "An endless abyss!!"

"..."

"..."

"Hey, aren't you scared?"

"How could that be? It must be a trick for kids."

"Not at all, Yani-chan..."

These guys! Seeing Norma and the uncle looking helpless, while her brother and Fan Wei were laughing, Yani's face turned red with anger, "Boring! No sense of humor at all!"

The girl turned around and strode forward, and the team members behind her followed with teasing smiles on their faces.

As they were already fully replenished, Team Baimu did not need to buy any more supplies. They passed through the bustling market and went straight into the depths of the maze.

"Fan, our mission this time is to defeat the gargoyle and obtain the petrified crystals on its body." Roddy introduced to Fan Wei with the same enthusiasm.

"The mission reward will be divided equally among the number of people. If there are other gains, it will be distributed based on the contributions of the team members. Even if you fail and get nothing, you will still get 70 copper coins as a reward."

"Very fair!" Fan Wei, who was not aiming to make money at all, smiled happily and said, "I didn't expect that I could make money by entering the maze."

Everyone smiled and shook their heads when they heard this. Newcomers are such lovely creatures. Back then, in order to gain experience, they also worked as cheap cabbages for a long time.

"As long as you are satisfied."

Roddy looked calm, but suddenly he stopped, as if he sensed something.

"A monster is coming."

He pointed to the passage ahead, and as soon as his voice fell, several pairs of red eyes lit up.
