Chapter 3281 A Choice

"It's a shame you torment them so much..."

Walking on the street, looking at Ellie beside her, and listening to her talk about how she trained the envoys, Irena couldn't help but gasped.

"How can this be called tossing? This is training, training... You see, at least there are no protests from the palace, right?"

Ellie seemed very calm, she was walking on the street, looking left and right, just shopping boredly.

"It's a good thing we don't need this kind of training, and frankly, I can't stand this."

Yazisha also expressed her thoughts, and Xiaobai also nodded with lingering fear.

"Forget it, they will deal with this group of idiots themselves. After all, I am not their mother, and I have already told them clearly. If these people are still stupid and don't understand their current situation, then die!" It deserves it."

Ellie shrugged and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, how about the mountain? What did you find?"

"No."

Hearing Ellie's question, Irena immediately replied with a bitter face.

"We have gone in and searched several times, but we still haven't found where the entrance to the maze of Mount Shen is."

That's right, when Ellie was training those envoys, the other three were not idle either. After all, Mount Shenshan is a forbidden area, and it is strictly forbidden to enter except believers who believe in the Supreme God. So they had to use their own methods to avoid other people's eyes and ears, and sneaked into the sacred mountain quietly to find the location of the maze.

As a result, after three days of searching, there was nothing to gain.

"Basically, we have searched every corner of the mountain, but we haven't found any sign of the entrance to the maze. The only thing left that we haven't found is... the temple of the mountain."

"So I still have to call in..."

Ellie reached out her hand to her chin and thought for a moment, but seeing her pensive look, Irena was startled.

"Wait, you don't really want to call in, do you?"

"Since I can't sneak in, I have to fight in."

"Is this really good?"

"If the maze is really in the temple, then most temples should know the truth about the gods of this world, but they still choose to believe in this guy, so they can only be treated as enemies."

"I think the people here are not bad, and the people in the temple don't seem to be particularly strange."

Yazisha clearly disagrees with this.

"Let me tell you, can't we explain it clearly to them? As long as we say that we are just adventurers who want to explore the maze, then it will be fine."

"If the other party knows the inside story, they will refuse. If they don't know, they will also wonder why we want to conquer the Seven Great Labyrinths... In short, I hope..."

Having said this, Ellie paused, and then she looked towards the sky.

"...Miss Allie?"

"nothing."

Hearing Irena's voice in her ear, Ellie shook her head. Just now, her intuition as a prophetic mage told Ellie that now is not a good time to do it—and a good time will come soon appeared in front of them.

"Since you all say so, let's put the maze here at the end."

The royal palace and the pope didn't know that they barely escaped, but now, looking at the report in front of them, they nodded in satisfaction.

According to the report submitted by Captain Meld, the envoys have made rapid progress in the past few days. Not only that, but most importantly, they have begun to actively seek the assistance of everyone in the Knights, and began to ask them about some adventures and battles common sense and skills.

This is also a great comfort to Captain Meld. To be honest, he has been in charge of the education of these envoys in the past, but at that time he could feel that many of these envoys taught him for business, or Not particularly concerned. At that time, Captain Meld had no choice. If it was his soldiers who dared to deal with the matter like this, they would have been severely punished by Captain Meld.

But these envoys couldn't do this because of their noble status, and the value difference between the two parties was too great, so he could only find a way to solve this problem slowly.

But now......

"It seems that these envoys are indeed making rapid progress, Captain Meld."

"yes."

Hearing the emperor's praise, Captain Meld lowered his head.

"To be honest, at the beginning, I was really worried, but now it seems that the training method of the witch lady is really effective... Although it is not that there are no problems at all."

Speaking of this, Captain Meld smiled wryly. In the past, because these students were naive, as long as they were friendly to them, they would also treat themselves and others very friendly. But now, they already know the thoughts of themselves and others, so it is inevitable that they will feel distanced from them-if they are adults, they may still be able to accept this relationship of mutual use between each other, but for children For us, even if the brain can understand it, it is difficult to accept it in the heart.

"It's okay, that's fine, after all, that's the relationship between us."

His Majesty the King is quite open-minded. Although it is frustrating that the envoys and others are wary of them, but on the other hand, this will also give them a clearer understanding of their position. The king has already told them that if they want to go back to this world, the only way is to destroy the demons and protect the human beings.

But right now, it would be great if they could understand this truth themselves.

"Captain Meld, I want to meet that witch lady and her companions, can you bring them here?"

"this……………"

Hearing the emperor's order, Captain Meld showed a somewhat bitter expression.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it."

"Oh why?"

"She told me personally that she doesn't intend to get involved with the royal family. If you want to summon her, then she has no time."

"Hahahaha... What a funny little girl..."

Hearing this, the king laughed.

"I heard that they also conquered the sixty-fifth floor of the Foss Labyrinth, breaking the historical record?"

"Yes, but I went to the Adventurer's Guild to inquire after that, and found out that the number of floors they reported was only sixty-five floors, but... I think it may be more than that."

Captain Meld shook his head. He clearly remembered that the lady witch easily killed the strongest monster on the sixty-fifth floor. With that kind of ability, the sixty-sixth floor should also be Not a problem. But after that, when he asked the Adventurer's Guild, the answer he got was still sixty-five floors. Captain Meld was not a fool. After thinking about it, he realized that the other party definitely didn't intend to report the number of floors he broke through, but Because of their superfluous actions, they had to admit this...

"So you mean, is it possible for them to break through the Great Labyrinth?"

But at this time, the Pope, who was sitting on the side with his eyes closed, suddenly asked. Captain Meld was stunned for a moment, and then he answered.

"I don't know. After all, the seven mazes have been around for a long time. No one knows what will happen after they break through the maze. But I think they should not have broken through the Foss maze. After all, according to the report of the Adventurer's Guild, that maze still exists. It is operating normally, and there is no problem. If someone breaks through... maybe it shouldn't be like this??"

After all, in the impression of ordinary people, things like mazes or tombs will not change after breaking through. But with such a strange thing as the Seven Great Labyrinths, no one knows what it will look like.

“……………………”

The Pope didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

At the same time, on the training ground, training continues.

"Seventy."

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Ellie spoke lightly, and hearing his words, one of the students couldn't help crying out.

"Why seven points? Didn't we wipe out all the goblins? And we also rescued the hostages, because it's a perfect score!"

Hearing this, the others nodded and stared at Ellie with dissatisfaction. After a few days of training, they finally became familiar with this illusion, and everyone racked their brains to find a way, and finally broke through the goblin's lair --- this is actually not surprising, originally this In Ellie's eyes, the lair can be handled by five low-level skilled adventurers. These envoys also have the power to cheat the system. If it weren't for their spiritual level, they wouldn't be wasting so much time.

However, this is not the end.

After they managed to kill the goblins in the ruins hall, they were told...

Seventy? ? ?

What are you kidding?

All the traps along the way were removed, the woman in the garbage dump was also rescued, and the secret passage was sealed. And when fighting the goblins in the hall of the relics, they also took care not to affect those hostages... But why is it 70 points?

Where did the thirty points go?

I have to say that getting used to it is really a scary thing. At the very beginning, they would vomit and faint just looking at the dead, but now, they have begun to subconsciously think about how they will fight in the battle just now. did something wrong.

"You didn't wipe out all the goblins."

As Ellie spoke, she waved her magic wand, and then everyone returned to the hall full of dead bodies --- Looking at the dead bodies all over the floor, the expressions of the students were a little stiff, but they didn't respond any more.

After all, I am used to it.

"Let's go find it."

In the end, Tianzhihe Guanghui was the first to stand up and at the same time instructed the others.

"You also rummage through the corpses and make up for each goblin so that they don't cheat their deaths."

"OK."

Hearing Tianzhihe Guanghui's instructions, several other melee professionals also stood up and began to pick up their swords and poke those goblins who fell on the ground one by one. Of course they don't have any hobbies like whipping corpses, this is one of the lessons they have learned-before they thought they had killed the goblin, but the counterattack before the death of the other party cut their throats or pierced them heart.

This unforgettable lesson once is enough.

Seeing her students attacking the goblins like cold-blooded killers, Aiko-sensei almost wanted to cry. On the one hand, she understood that this was a process she had to go through. But on the other hand, she is also frustrated that her students will become like this, and she is unable to change at all.

"Hey!!"

At this moment, another student's voice came from not far away.

"I found something strange here, come and see!"

Hearing the student's words, everyone hurried over, and then saw the student proudly standing in front of a broken chair, pointing to the back—it seemed that there should have been something like a ventilation duct, but now But it was blocked by a wooden door.

"These goblins are really cunning. I was just idling and thinking about smashing this broken chair, but I didn't expect that there is a hidden door behind it...!"

Speaking of this, the student's expression was quite excited. After all, adventure, exploration, and treasures are all romantic at his age.

In the previous words, he might just open the door and go in to see what happened, but after experiencing so many tragic deaths, this student has also learned to behave.

"It's right behind."

Tianzhihe Guanghui stared at the secret door, nodded, and winked at Ryutaro.

"You come to open the door, we are on guard."

"Oh!"

Ryutaro walked to the wooden door, then clenched his fists, grabbed the door panel with all his might——pull it open!

At the same time, Tianzhihe Guanghui and the others also raised their weapons and looked inside the door with 120,000 points of vigilance.

then……………

"Goog...cuckoo..."

After seeing everything in front of them, they were all stunned.

I saw a few little goblins inside the door, they looked about the size of a two or three-year-old child. At this moment, these little goblins were curled up into a ball, looking at the people in front of them with uneasy and fearful eyes. . Seeing this scene, the students outside were also stunned.

"This is... a goblin?"

"It's the little goblin......?"

"Looks like you found it."

At this time, Ellie also rode a broom and came to them.

"Okay, what are you waiting for? Kill them."

"Aha?"

Hearing Ellie's indifferent words, everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at her in amazement.

"Miss Allie, what are you talking about?"

"They're just kids!"

"So?"

Ellie blinked.

"Goblins, you have to kill them all, don't you? It doesn't make sense for you to keep them, because when they grow up, they will continue to attack villages, capture women, and expand their groups..."

"But, but they are just children, and they haven't done anything bad!"

Kaori clasped her hands, looked at Airi and shouted loudly.

"So what?"

"……………Hey?"

"Have locusts done any bad things? Why do humans want to kill all locusts?"

"Because, because the locusts destroyed the crops..."

"That's the human perception."

Ellie shook her head.

"Humans distinguish between pests and beneficial insects based on whether they are harmful or harmless to themselves, but in fact, for locusts, they never need to follow human morals and values. Just like these goblins, for you , Goblins attacking villages, captives and playing with women are unforgivable acts. But for them, this is just a pure ecological instinct of the Goblins, just like locusts eating crops, they don't care if there is any Human blood, that's how they survive."

Having said this, Ellie sneered.

"Or, you want to let them go? What's the difference between that and expecting tigers to go vegetarian?"

“……………………”

No one spoke, they just lowered their heads, watching the scene in front of them without saying a word.

Seeing this, the corners of Ellie's mouth curled up slightly.

"Then, let me give you a choice."

As he spoke, Ellie chuckled lightly.

"If you kill these goblins here, I will consider the test as completed. But if you can't do it, then you will have to accept another test... Of course, it's still the goblins."

Speaking of this, Ellie looked at the students below with a cold smile.

"So, what's your choice?"

Then, she asked.
