The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 15. Informational

Conley, who is a prisoner, is taken by the goblins to the labyrinth.

The goblin standing in front of the group, Raluk shouted at the door.

“lord Aaron! Master Alice! I have brought the prisoners !! "

It was a very big door.

On the surface of the door was carved images of demons and angels fighting using their weapons.The image was quite frightening, there was an angel whose head was severed or a demon whose body was pierced by dozens of swords, there were also angels whose wings were forcibly removed and there were also demons whose bodies were cut into pieces.

The carving depicts a very gripping atmosphere of war, you can even hear the sound of the cries of those who are suffering on the battlefield if you focus on paying attention.

After waiting for a while, the huge door slowly opened

"stop daydreaming, get on the road, damn it!"

Raluk said rudely

Although Conley felt frightened, he walked slowly inside.

The place he entered was called the [Throne Room]

He held his breath in amazement as he entered the room, remembering that he was underground, but the room was so beautiful, the ceiling was adorned with beautiful chandeliers, the walls are filled with magic lights that illuminate the entire room, the floor is decorated with expensive looking carpets and the room also does not give the impression of dark, narrow, dirty, dirty, gloomy and damp like any other basement.

But what caught his attention the most were the two people sitting on the throne, even if no one had told him, he could guess that both of them were masters of this labyrinth.

"You have come, intruder. ”

"Your mother, welcome. ”

They sat on higher ground, from which they could look down on the prisoners.

Aaron and Alice, the two brothers sat on the king's throne, and looked down on Conley.

"First, how about you tell me your name first?"

"auxiliary—, Falsehood Judgment”

She was not allowed to lie in front of her brother, that was why Alice cast a magic that could detect lies.

"I wouldn't recommend you to lie."

Hearing the resolute words from her brother, a smile suitable for Alice's age bloomed on her face.

"N, my name …. Conleys"

"The man who moaned there?"

"Tieres, he's the leader of our group. ”

Every time Aaron asked, Conley felt that he was answering a question from the god of death, if the answer was wrong, he would definitely die. 'please don't ask anything else'

That was what he was thinking at the moment, but he heard a voice that shattered his expectations.

“He seems to be hurt. Conley, you'll take his place to answer my questions. ”

"Y, yeah"

Body shaken.

'After answering all the questions, what will happen to me?'

When he thought about it, he almost went crazy from fear.

Alice could feel her agitated mood and her mind in disarray. Seeing that, he said kindly.

"Don't worry. If you answer our question correctly, we will release you”

"Eh, is that ... true?"

“that's so. The sister? "

“…. . I think it's fine. Conley, I will let you along with Tieres leave this labyrinth safely, as long as you answer our questions well. ”

Hearing Alice's Intimidating question, Conley nodded his head many times like a fool.

Even though it was only a verbal promise, he was willing to hold on tight to the rope that connected his life.

“the question is not difficult, there is no need to strain. Tell me all about the topography and the strength of the surrounding area that you know. ”

"Y, yeah"

There was a reason why Aaron and Alice needed information regarding the surrounding area.

To create an underground labyrinth, it is necessary to do in a certain place at night in a period of time of 10 years when the [labyrinth] spell is first activated.

if in 10 years time the labyrinth is not finished, it means that the spell [labyrinth] failed and they have to bear the punishment. The heaviest is death and the lightest is physical or mental disability.

Now, that 10-year time period was approaching, so they did not have much time to waste.they needed troops as quickly as possible and minimum information about the surrounding area.

All they knew at this time was that their labyrinth was within the forest, nearby was a small mountain and there should have been a city nearby when the Elamite Kingdom was still around.

they planned to use this location as their headquarters, so it would be troublesome if they did not have any information about the surrounding forces.

In this case, both assume the conley who is the intruder has the information they need.

When they attacked the goblin village, they must have gathered enough information from the surrounding area, so he should have no trouble answering the questions of the two.

"First ... , there should be a city north of this place. ”

"Yes, there's a town called Bacau"

"How many people live there? and the number of soldiers? "

“The population is about 15 thousand people, for soldiers. However, they can gather militia forces and mercenaries in case of an emergency and the number will increase to 4,500 people. If they were to gather militias from the surrounding villages, I think their numbers would probably increase to around 5,500 people.

His heart began to calm down, perhaps relieved to know that his life would be safe if he answered both questions well.

so the priest conley revealed everything he knew without hiding anything, he even added some of his own opinions while answering questions.

'Needle' murmured Aaron.

If he had not mistakenly remembered, it should have been one of the small towns in this world.

But, even the smallest city still had thousands of troops, if they decided to attack the labyrinth this time, they would definitely be able to destroy it.

'huft..it seemed like our situation wasn't very good' after hearing Conley's answer he realized that it seemed like danger was under their noses.

'We need to strengthen the labyrinth as soon as possible' Aaron noted in his heart.

"Who's leading the assault on the Goblin village?"

"that guy's name is Rick. He was a knight from the city of Bacau, he often led expeditionary forces to conquer goblins or bandits. ”

"Is there an expeditionary force?"

Alice joined the conversation.

After rearranging the information in his mind, Conley replied.

“Yes, in addition, the city of Bacau also has a defense force tasked to protect the city when attacked, there are also patrol forces that keep the city streets safe. ”

"Defense corps, patrol corps, do you know the name of the person leading it? or rumors about them? "

"the defense force was led by an old knight named Hector, while for the captain of the patrol force, he was the second son of the Bacau ruler, Jasper.

I don't know any rumors about corps captain Hector. But, Jasper is famous as a hated person, Under the pretext of temporary tax collection, I heard he often robs property or women from the surrounding villages. ”

"so it seems..., then what about Rick?”

"one word for him, annoying, he's a treasure-crazy person, he'll use all sorts of means to increase the profits he can get, even if it's to sacrifice others"

"Hmm, interesting. By the way, do you adventurers often cooperate with the government corps?"

“No, it depends on the content of the request they offer to the guild. ”
