Mystic Dominator

——Go to the riverside area first.

As the picture book maze world became more and more chaotic, Ronald quickly made a decision in his mind.

He made this choice not simply to abide by the rules of the game.

Instead, Ronald really took into account the actual situation of Springs now.

Like the five casters of the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting] who ran to the southwest. Based on the direction of their current advance route, they must pass through the slums, a small part of the riverside area, and then pass through the commercial area, and finally reach the port area where they fled.

From a purely geometric point of view.

This is indeed the shortest route in a straight line to the port area.

But if you take into account the urban areas they need to cross, the reality is quite different.

This route, on the contrary, will add quite a lot of trouble.

For example, in the following poverty-stricken area, under the premise that housing construction and human activities will become obstacles in the maze, Ronald can be sure by intuition that it is definitely the most difficult maze in Springs.

Just thinking about the difficulty of crossing the urban area, one knows that passing through there will inevitably face many problems.

——How about the hint Ronald got?

——Go to your own home in the river bank first.

On the premise of confirming that there will be no additional troubles, they only need to pass through the river bank area and then pass through the commercial area, and they will be able to reach the final destination port area immediately. And along the Weiss River, you can also have the best natural landmarks in Springs.

Make a decision in your heart.

Ronald immediately reached out and patted his companion on the shoulder:

"Patricia, let's go."

"Now we have no possibility of participating in this battle. The first priority is to get rid of this world built by complete art as soon as possible."

"..."

Patricia nodded silently.

Doudouyan, who was watching the battle in the square, finally turned his gaze back following the conversation.

Follow the ladder from the tower back underground.

In the labyrinth whose terrain has been completely changed,

The two groped their way outside.

Compared with crossing the border forest area before, the difficulty of advancing this time is much higher. Due to the fierce battle taking place in the church area, almost every once in a while, the terrain of the surrounding labyrinth will change due to changes in the crowd.

Under such frequent changes, it took Ronald and Patricia nearly half an hour to finally escape from here.

After finally finding the location of the Weiss River, recalling the scene when she left the Church Square just now, Patricia finally couldn't help asking her concerns:

"Ronald, do you think this battle happened in reality?"

Ronald nodded and replied:

"It's very likely that's the case."

"Do you remember when we first entered this world, we heard those descriptions? Some information was revealed..."

While groping through the maze, Ronald told Patricia his guess. The girl accepted the result calmly, but the expression on her cute face inevitably showed some loneliness:

"If it were in the real world, as Nicklaus, I should also contribute to this battle..."

Ronald comforted:

"Thinking like this is a bit of a dead end."

"If it weren't for the actions of the two of us, then the casters of the [Nine Precepts Secret Society] hidden in the industrial area, as well as these guys we are hunting now, would definitely have a greater impact on this city."

"..."

During the conversation, the two moved on.

On the way to Ronald's house on the riverfront, they encountered a new type of maze.

--vessel.

Because they are advancing along the course of the Weiss River, when some roads are completely blocked, Ronald and the two need to keep an eye on the ships moored by the Weiss River, or the cargo ships that are still in operation. Then go up and use these things to move in position.

It took another quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

In the end, by a very coincidence, they jumped off the boat that shared the barbecue in the early hours of this morning, and then saw the apartment quietly located by the river.

so……

What does the reminder of the Sphinx mean?

With such doubts, Ronald walked around to find the door of the apartment, and then walked smoothly to his room on the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a few things on his desk.

A pair of magnifying glasses, a compass, and a pipe.

These three things were shining on the table, obviously worried that others would not notice their existence.

At this time, Patricia, who was beside her, asked just right:

"Ronald, when we went out last night, you didn't have these things at home, did you?"

"Don't pay attention to this." Ronald shrugged, and continued in a rather innocent tone, "We have already encountered talking cats, stone statues who wanted to strike, and pancakes that called for help before being eaten."

"Now even if there are some extra things in my house, it's not surprising."

Patricia nodded cutely:

"You have a point."

"..."

During the conversation, Ronald walked to the table and picked up three things.

Then, his body is no longer under his control.

It's as if the props are obtained in the game, and then the character will show it to the player. Ronald involuntarily raised the magnifying glass and looked at the table—many details that ordinary people could not discover, such as production date, use experience and other information, suddenly appeared in front of him.

——This is a tool that often appears in detective games.

After showing the magnifying glass, Ronald raised the compass in his hand again - the pointer under the protective case immediately rotated, pointing to a position west of the south, and still shaking a little bit from side to side.

The function of the compass is also obvious, it is a tool to point out the locations of the [Nine Precepts Secret Meeting] casters.

At last Ronald took a deep drag on his pipe.

"Cough...cough cough cough..."

Ronald, who didn't like smoking, immediately choked on the smell of shredded tobacco. But at the same time, he also felt that his mind became clear for a while, and even the thinking of thinking about the solution of the maze became much clearer.

——This is to help you find your way.

After displaying the three props, control of the body returns immediately.

Looking at the things in his hands, Ronald had to admit that the hint given by the Sphinx was very important. Each of these three props can provide pretty good help right away.

At this moment, Ronald turned his head to look at Patricia.

The girl was looking at herself with peas eyes in astonishment. Obviously, this kind of sparkling props collection was also out of the range of her life experience.

So Ronald handed over the compass in his hand:

"Patricia, this compass will point out the location of those [Nine Commandments Secret Meeting] casters, you can hold it to observe the other party's movements."

Patricia took the compass and looked at Ronald:

"how about you?"

Ronald glanced at the maze outside, then took a sharp puff on his pipe:

"I...cough cough cough..."

"I'm in charge of walking the maze..."
