The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 26. Source of Sacrifice 2

The labyrinth master seemed to be unaware of what the Priest was thinking but, Aaron slightly nodded towards Conley's warning earlier.

"That's right, when everything goes according to plan, carelessness will usually arise out of arrogance and instead backfire deadly.

After we finish the next wave of adventurers, let's add the number of monsters a bit. ”

“Ne, Brother! what about traps? I want to make a flashy one !! ”

"I don't mind, but, don't put up too much and spend your mana instead. ”

When the master of the underground labyrinth spoke of the increase in the defense of the labyrinth. Conley felt bad that he wanted to leave them alone, but he couldn't just leave.

Aaron seemed to remember something and asked her.

“Conley, the woman who lives with you. What happened to the task I gave them? "

"Yes, Amara set traps in the places you have ordered. As for Bodil, the training for Goblins had shown progress as planned. If the training continues for one month, you will be able to use them as a soldier. ”

"good job, continue as planned"

“Excellent, thanks to them, we do not need to use magic power to do it ourselves. Sister ”

Amara was a ranger, she could use the [Trap Creation] skill, she could set traps and travel safely where the traps were set.

According to the two, it was an advantage for them to be able to produce something without using magic. Similarly, for Bodil who has the skill [combat training], with this skill he is able to train goblins to fight well.

So far, Conley did not seem to have any skills that could be used to strengthen the labyrinth. But he was given an Advisory position and was able to interrupt when Aaron spoke.

Although he felt anxious every time he did it, but he did not show it on his face or talk about it, he just worked hard to carry out his duties.

But, according to Aaron and Alice, Conley was useful.

Basically, they respect each other's opinions, they rarely argue with each other, Even if a debate happens it's usually just between Aaron and Alice.

they can speak fluently without developing ill intentions until their discussion is over. By listening to Conley's opinion, he often came to an answer he had never thought of before.

And, because he found it useful, Aaron asked the Priest who was still anxious to think about whether he was useful or not.

"Is there something you want?"

"uh?"

Being suddenly asked, he could only reply in a silly voice, Aaron ignored him and continued asking without caring about him.

“maybe, it will be difficult to return you back to the surface now…. . However, I will reward you according to the results of your work . If there's anything you want, let me hear it. ”

Despite his cold manner of speaking, Conley recently learned that it had no malicious intent. Aaron is an honest man and frankly, he feels it is natural to appreciate those who have devoted themselves to him.

Since he thought it would be impolite if he rejected it, he said the doubt he had for this some time.

"Then, is it okay for me to ask questions?"

"If I can answer, I will answer. ”

A slight smile appeared on his flat face and his blue eyes narrowed slightly, Aaron was a little curious about the question his servant would ask.

Is that the way to master powerful magic? or is it the secret to making money and other valuables?, or perhaps it is a method to stop the body from aging? each of these were top-tier secrets, but he thought he might be able to give him a hint.

But, the question Conley asked betrayed all his expectations, it was just a simple question.

"Why do you want so much revenge?"

He stepped forward and asked.

When he becomes his subordinate, Conley is briefly told by Aaron that all he is doing right now is to prepare a retaliatory attack on the alliance country that has already destroyed the Magic Kingdom.

All this for revenge.

When they told him, Aaron had a cold tone, while Alice remained cheerful as ever.

Conley, who heard this felt strange.

People who play with others' lives and consider their lives unimportant, talk about revenge.

He suspected there was a worse plan they had prepared than a simple one like revenge, but after watching their movements for some time he did not see them showing such signs.

Everything they do is purely for revenge

Conley wanted to know, why the result could be like this.

“Conley......, is anyone important to you? Parents, siblings, friends .... , or even lovers? "

“A, no. ”

“That's the answer. ”

Aaron told her coldly, while Alice said it happily.

“If, if that's your answer! then!"

"then?

"Is it possible to change your mind!?"

Both of them felt angry because what was important to them had been deprived, it was something sad. If their hearts are vengeful for that, he can understand it, but Conley thinks revenge is not the right choice.

Looking at the current condition of the two, they must still take revenge, even though they know that a new grudge might arise afterwards.

Knowing this, Conley tried to persuade them.

"Revenge will only lead to another revenge. the problem will not be solved this way, instead it will become bigger”

“you may be right. but even so, we will still continue our initial plan”

"you need not fear their backlash.if they dare to come, we just need to destroy it~"

"but, shouldn't you hate the evil conduct of the alliance country. will you commit such heinous deeds as your enemies have done?"

"Yes, of course, "

“as long as it can succeed our plan. No matter what the way, we will still do it. ”

They don't talk about justice.

Nor do they say that what they are doing is right.

Even though they know revenge is wrong, they still have to destroy the people they hate mercilessly.

“As for pain and sadness, time will heal him…. And, even if you manage to take revenge, there was already nothing left at that time. ”

Conley said sadly.

Although her sincere words did not reach the two, she thought she should say it no matter what.

“Maybe so if I am still a Human. ”

“But, we are not human anymore. ”

“We have stopped being Human, when we became avatars of this Labyrinth. ”

“Are we the ones who have become evil and ruthless that will destroy all the alliance countries first. ”

"Or… . ”

“we were conquered by them first. ”

The two spoke as if they were synchronized.

"before one of us loses, revenge will continue”

Hearing this word, Conley lowered his head deeply.

Impossible to persuade them.

At the very least, the voice of an outsider like him would not be able to reach them.

“…. . I understand . Thank you for answering my question. ”

“Maa, Conley. You don't have to serve us forever, you know. ”

“When we have accumulated sufficient strength to some extent, we will release you. After that, you can do whatever you like.

I recommend staying away from the kingdom of Aria and the place where its allied countries rule.

Since this world is so big, I'm sure you can find a suitable place for you to live in ”

When Conley lowered his head, Aaron answered him coldly, while Alice continued to make fun of him.

The labyrinth master didn't seem to care about what he asked.

While thinking in his heart that the master of the labyrinth did not care when he spoke ill of them, Conley retreated.

“Nnn? Looks like an unusual group came in while we were chatting ”

From the innumerable crystal balls floating on the table

One of them projected a group of Humans that were different from adventurers.
