Overlord of the Demon Realm

"It's time to find Daedalus."

Ye Kong ran in the passage, turning several corners from time to time, and soon, he successfully returned to Daedalus' prison along the original road.

"arrive!"

Ye Kong looked around, and in a stone-pillar-shaped cage, the white-haired old man was just looking forward to seeing it through. When he saw Ye Kong, he immediately waved his hands excitedly, and shouted in his mouth:

"Hey! Brave adventurer, do you have good news?"

"Fortunately, life is not humiliated."

Ye Kong stepped forward, took out the smoky spar and Styx River water from his backpack, and handed it to the other party.

"Brave adventurer, um, I have one thing to ask—"

Daedalus did not take it immediately, but asked instead: "I want to ask, did you encounter any strange things when you took the black crystal?"

"Oh! You said that 'thing'"

There was a 'sudden realization' on Ye Kong's face, and he said with some annoyance: "I don't know what's going on, but there is a large snow-white crystal growing in the center of the black crystal pillar, and I can't move it even with my collection methods." — This crystal is too hard!"

"Damn it, I've never encountered such a hard crystal, really, I swear in the name of my master! I'm afraid even my master has never seen such a hard thing!"

"Hey! It's just my poor craftsmanship. I was blocked by a crystal and couldn't dig any further."

As he said that, Ye Kong looked heartbroken, and it seemed that he had lost hundreds of millions.

"this this"

"Hey, that's right!"

Daedalus shook his head. For a moment, he seemed to have aged a little, as if he had lost some hope.

"What's the matter, Mr. Daedalus?"

Ye Kong asked, his face was full of doubts, but he also showed concern, which warmed Daedalus' heart, and he couldn't help sighing: "Hey, this matter. That's really a long story."

Ye Kong knew very well that the next step was the "plot explanation", which was also a routine link in the game, so he did not interrupt the other party's speech, but chose to listen patiently.

really,

Daedalus cleared his throat, and began to narrate: "Back then, I had a son, his name was Icarus, who, like me, was very talented in construction. So, I was taken by Lord Minos together with him. I took a fancy to it, and successfully served as a builder, commanding the actions of the stone people, and building a maze for the son of Minos."

"Later, Icarus and I built the palace, but I didn't want Master Minos to choose to cross the river and demolish the bridge, imprisoning us in the maze, and the place where Icarus was imprisoned was exactly the place of the smoky crystal stone pillar. down."

Saying that, Daedalus sighed: "It seems that Icarus can't get out."

"I see. Oh! What a sad story."

Ye Kong shook his head, his face full of sympathy: "Mr. Daedalus, don't be too sad. After all, Icarus may still be alive. If there is a chance in the future, it might be possible to rescue him."

After finishing speaking, Ye Kong silently recited a sentence in his heart——

"Of course, you can only 'collect the body' for him."

"Thank you, brave adventurer."

Daedalus was extremely moved, and immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely work hard."

After speaking, he took the smoky spar and Styx River water, and held them high above his head. The next moment, red starlight appeared on his body, drifting out little by little, and converging towards the two materials.

"Red Starlight."

Ye Kong narrowed his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him, and vaguely had a guess in his heart, but he still maintained a 'surprised' look on the surface - he seemed to be seeing the red light for the first time .

Leave no flaws.

A large amount of red light enveloped the two pieces of material, and after a while, the entire red light went out, and the two pieces of material disappeared, replaced by a bundle of strange silk items.

This silk object was black for a while, like silk stained with ink, but its surface was glowing with a little starlight, which was very similar to black spar, and possessed the characteristics of the latter.

At the same time, the silk items moved from time to time, and the large number of silk threads glowing with starlight had a liquid feeling.

"Brave adventurer, this is a key item, please keep it safe."

Daedalus raised the silk item and entrusted it to Ye Kong——

Imitation Thread: A stunning imitation of an item with unknown effects.

Note: This item cannot be destroyed and cannot be carried out of the maze.

"Huh? It's actually an imitation."

Ye Kong couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Mr. Daedalus, what is the function of this thing?"

"Mostly to replace Miss Adne's hair."

Daedalus explained: "Miss Adne's hair has merged with the entire maze. If you want to liberate her freedom, you must find a suitable substitute. Otherwise, Miss Adne will never be able to get out of the maze."

"More importantly, Miss Adne's hair is not only a 'road sign', but also strengthens a lot of organs."

Daedalus pointed to the stone pillars again, and said seriously: "The essence of these stone pillars is also fused with Miss Adne's hair. If Miss Adne is not liberated, I will not be able to get out of this cage."

From the discourse analysis, Daedalus can solve the hair problem, but is trapped inside the stone pillar, and the only way to untie the stone pillar is to solve the problem of Miss Adne.

Obviously, this is an endless loop.

So poor Daedalus was stuck here for hundreds of years.

"Can't Miss Adney have her hair cut?"

Ye Kong almost said this, but he still restrained himself.

Because of his many years of gaming career, he understood that there are many strange curses in the world of Demon Realm. For example, Ariadne's hair should be a curse. Even if you cut off your hair, you may not be free— —It is likely that there will be a 'snapshot'? !

Therefore, Ye Kong didn't talk too much, and asked directly: "How can I 'replace' Miss Adne's hair?"

Daedalus smiled and pointed to the left wall of the cage room.

"I installed a mechanism in that place, leading directly to the core of the third floor. There is a key magic circle in that place, on which Miss Adne's hair is bound."

"All you have to do is replace Miss Adne's hair with this imitation."

Hearing this, Ye Kong couldn't help but tremble in his heart, because he knew very well what the core of the third layer represented, and if he used a more easy-to-understand words, he could explain it in detail.

that place,

It is the habitat of the Minotaur.
