Chapter 1370 The Underground City Maze of the Teaching Nation (2700 Words)
"Commander, something must have happened to him in an accident. We must find Marco Polo as soon as possible and return to the port area."
The two girls were silent all the way.
As they went deeper into the Nanfeng Plain, Xiafei finally took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, looked at the shrubs and green shades all around him and spoke first.
Thanks to the magic items they carried that had a frightening effect on low-level monsters, the low-level monsters in the South Wind Plains all avoided the two girls.
When Mogador heard that Xiafei mentioned this matter, he also frowned and said:
"Finally, I followed the clues and found this place.
"What on earth is Marco Polo doing, and why did the Sardinian companions not only not stop her, but also act with her?"
In order to track down the whereabouts of Marco Polo, Andrea, Dragoon, Northwest Wind, and Southwest Wind, the leader of the Oris Tribunal, Clemenceau, sent a total of three teams led by the Inquisitor to search.
La Galissonniere, Horrible, Algeria and Tartu, together with them, the three Inquisition teams conducted separate searches in the southern region of the Teaching State for nearly half a month based on the clues provided by Veneto.
In the end, only they discovered the whereabouts of Marco Polo and several Sardinian companions.
After asking the clergy of the Holy Light Church to convey the signal to gather in the South Wind Plain, they came here first to conduct surveys.
Mogador's confusion was also something Xiafei thought about along the way.
"According to the information provided by Veneto, before setting off, Marco Polo carried a large number of the commander's collection brought from the port area, as well as several chirps.
"Even the cruise ship, which carries the best memories of everyone and the commander, was taken away by her in the ship's storage space."
As the heat from his body gradually dissipated, Mogador fastened his cloak again.
Listening to the information that Xiafei said, the purple-haired girl guessed in a serious tone:
"Could it be that Marco Polo was controlled by the bad omen of the 'false god' again and tried to use props that were contaminated with the commander to do things that were detrimental to the commander?
"If it is the mental distortion of the 'false god', it can also explain why Andrea and the others did not stop Marco Polo."
Regarding Mogador's speculation, Xiafei did not directly express his opinion, but continued to analyze after thinking:
"We can only confirm this by finding them first. If this is the case, with our strength, we may not be able to confront the mind-controlled Sardinian fleet head-on. We will have to retreat first and wait for Algeria to join La Galissoniere."
"But in this case, wouldn't we have to delay learning about the commander's situation again?"
"Do you think that with the commander's temperament, he would want us to get hurt because of his rashness?"
Facing Mogador's unwilling expression, Xiafei asked calmly.
"Gu...Okay, okay, Miss Angel, I will listen to you."
The two inquisitor girls from the Iris camp quickly discussed the future arrangements on the land lizard trailer.
Although the Nanfeng Plain is a vast plain, it still has some undulating hills.
About two hours later, Xiafei and Mogador could no longer see the village of Kalo behind them, and arrived deep into the great plains with almost no trace of human beings.
A not-so-wide river lay in front of them, and with the sunlight shining in the west, they could see many groups of small monsters moving away from them under the influence of magic items.
On the flat grassland on the other side of the river, stands a huge stone monument with the skull of a white horned monster on top.
Behind the stone monument, there is an tunnel-like entrance decorated with two extinguished torches.
"It's finally here. Speaking of Miss Angel, I've always been curious, why are the mercenary groups in this country so observant of the rules and insist on setting up these things at the entrance of the maze?"
Since land-based lizards cannot cross the river, the two ship girls did not choose to find a bridge to cross the river in order to save time.
So they parked the Land Lizard and the trailer by the river, turned on the ship and crossed the river directly to the entrance of the dungeon maze.
Looking at the dark maze cave of the dungeon, Mogador, holding the huge spear and chain ax on his shoulder with one hand, sighed and complained to Xiafei.
"If you had just looked carefully, you would have seen the name of the first mercenary group that discovered the entrance to the maze on the back of the Warcraft skull on the stone tablet.
"The Teaching Country Mercenary Association's rating of the mercenary group will refer to the discovery of the entrance to the maze."
Xiafei said lightly while pulling off a feather from his black wings.
The next second, the jet-black feather in the aircraft carrier girl's hand was like a spell-casting medium, and soon gathered a large amount of white light for illumination.
"Let's go, each floor of the dungeon maze is like an independent world.
"According to the information provided by the Mercenary Association, the fifth floor of the Nanfeng Plains Maze has been conquered. The road signs leading to the entrance to the next floor have been placed by the previous mercenary group, and the maze map has also been loaded into the ship-mounted radar system."
Mogador nodded, closely following Xafei, who was the first to enter the entrance of the maze.
The first floor of the maze is a traditional underground maze made of gray stone bricks with ivy growing on them.
At regular intervals on the maze wall, there are magic fluorites that emit blue light, causing Xiafei to temporarily disperse the light clusters around the feathers.
Just as she thought, all the guardians and traps in the first level of the maze had been cleared by the mercenaries.
It didn't take long for the two Iris ships to effortlessly pass through the maze and reach the entrance to the next level.
The environment of the second level of the maze is a desert, and the scorching sun above seems to be always at noon, which also declares that the creator of the dungeon maze is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Sure enough, just like the intelligence records provided by the Mercenary Association, this level of the maze has a desert terrain and climate."
Both Mogador and Xiafei were very calm about this desert environment that seemed to have traveled to another plane.
The Iris Camp and the Sardinian Empire have long investigated the principles of the maze of the Saint Lothoron Teaching State.
In short, this is a space folding magic similar to the Siren mirror system.
In Saint Lothoron, where magic exists, many magicians who specialize in space magic have the ability to open up independent spaces.
Of course, in the eyes of the Iris ship girls, even legendary magicians are no more threatening to them than the strength of the II-level Siren executors.
"According to the route plan, it will take us at least an hour to reach the fifth floor of the maze... Let's leave this floor quickly, the temperature here is too high, I feel like the cloak is going to suffocate me again!"
Looking helplessly at Mogador who had unbuttoned his cloak and was emitting a faint mist, Xia Fei asked calmly:
"Why didn't you bring an ice magic device for cooling? Before leaving, didn't Walkerlan and Surcouf just go to the Magic Association to purchase a large number of magic devices?"
"It's useless~~~ Those ice magic devices are too fragile and will break down in a short time."
Faced with Mogador's bitter face wailing with a fever, Xia Fei said calmly:
"After all, convenient magic technology is an epoch-making innovation in the use of magic, and it has not yet been certified by the Holy Light Church and the Tower.
"But Frederick Karl seems to be very interested in magic technology. Maybe after returning, she can help you develop a cooling magic device that uses magic cube energy. "
While talking, the two girls walked towards the entrance of the next level of the passage in the desert.
Although Mogador and Xiafei seemed to be chatting, they kept observing all the clues around them with sharp eyes from time to time.
Their goal was to track down Marco Polo and the Sardinian fleet, not to conquer the dungeon maze.
If they could be sure that these Sardinian companions were hiding in this maze, it would be great.
Time passed by, and the two girls finally came to the fifth level of the maze.
Although they were attacked by maze monsters that had not been cleared in the swamp terrain of the third level of the maze and the plain terrain of the fourth level.
But for them, this There is no need to deploy ship equipment for enemies of this level.
The Iris Ship Girls are just like the Shrine Maidens of Sakura Empire. They have possessed extraordinary magic power and a talent for learning magic that is beyond belief since the birth of the Mind Cube.
After arriving at the Teaching Country of Saint Losolon, the Iris Ship Girls also learned some magic from another world that is convenient for daily life out of curiosity.
As for why they didn't learn high-level magic known as forbidden spells?
Just kidding, no matter how exaggerated the damage of high-level magic is, can it be more powerful than ship guns?
What's more, high-level magic has extremely harsh release conditions and a long chanting time, which is not as convenient as the ship-mounted main gun.
"Hmm? "
When Mogador and Xiafei stepped into the fifth-level maze, their expressions changed.
The fifth-level maze is a towering mountain with green trees, and it is also the end point where other mercenary groups have collectively returned in defeat.
But it is not important.
What is important is that Mogador and Xiafei both keenly captured that a blue light spot representing friendly forces flashed quickly on their ship-mounted radar system.
Although this light spot was fleeting, Xiafei and Mogador locked the coordinates in the first time.
