Chapter 73 Adventurers Washed Away by the Flood

Scrap iron, gears, fillers and strange inscriptions with magical energy make up the body and soul of the suicide robot!

The golems wandering here are not elemental puppets in the traditional sense, but puppets created by mechanical spells rebuilt by the God of Machinery Lint Isaac with the faith of a country!

Luo Yan didn’t know what the third level of the original maze looked like, but there was no doubt that the "heretics" had occupied it.

"It is not advisable to stay here for long, retreat."

Protecting his two younger brothers in front of him, Luo Yan, who was collecting the fragments, stepped onto the stairs in one step and hurriedly retreated to the stone gate leading to the second level of the maze.

These robots seem to be quite territorial.

As they retreated to the stairs, the robots, as if they had lost their target, staggered back to the side of the platform and climbed back into the bottomless abyss.

Returning to the second level of the maze, Luo Yan and his followers fought their way back to the "Blood Temple" on the first level.

Looking at the two corpses whose bodies were covered with insect fluid and exuding a pungent smell, he spoke.

"That's all for today's training, dismissed."

"yes."

Octo nodded and returned to the center of the Blood Temple, where he sat down and began to quietly review today's battle process and summarize his experience.

The same went for Bond, but he did not sit in the Blood Temple. Instead, he followed Luo Yan back to the mine above the maze.

Looking at the devil coming back from the maze, Sarah's eyes suddenly lit up and she trotted over with the basket on the counter.

The basket contained the mission items sent by the players - freshly steamed meat buns.

In addition to the meat buns, she also put a towel in it, mainly for wiping sweat.

"Thanks."

Luo Yan took the lunch with a smile, summoned a water ball, wet a towel and wiped his face, then sat on a bench nearby to enjoy it.

Seeing that her tool was finally useful, Sarah showed a happy smile on her face and her furry ears swayed gently.

But after a while, a trace of sadness appeared on that delicate face again.

"My Lord Demon..."

"What's wrong?"

Sarah hesitated for a long time, but finally raised her head and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Can you... turn me into a ghoul too?"

It was the first time Luo Yan heard such an outrageous request. An expression of surprise appeared on his face, and he even stopped eating the bun in his hand.

"I want to know the reason."

"I... want to become stronger." Sarah took a deep breath and said boldly, "Sarah... wants to become more useful."

Looking at those eyes full of determination, Luo Yan thought for a while and spoke.

"Sarah, even though I am a necromancer, I still believe that life is a greater miracle than death."

“Hmm…”

Looking at Sarah with a confused expression on her face, Luo Yan smiled gently and placed his hand on her black hair.

"So you should live well while you are alive, and never regard your life as the price of achieving a certain goal... It is not something that can be weighed on a scale."

The reason why he put his hand on her head was not because he thought it would be more convincing, but mainly because he wanted to pet the cat.

"The Demon King...doesn't want Sarah to become a ghoul?"

"I think it's not just me, my servants too, who hope you'll live well."

"knew."

Sarah nodded as if she understood, and lowered her head in a depressed mood.

But she soon cheered up again.

"Then...please teach me how to fight!"

"Fighting skills..." Luo Yan touched his chin and looked her up and down, "It's not impossible... I'll think about it."

"Yeah!" Sarah nodded excitedly, "Sarah can hunt! Sure, catch the rabbit in the woods!"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"Then try to develop into a thief or assassin. I'll try to find some professionals to teach you."

In a stone prison not far from the entrance to the maze, Chris and his companions looked at their former teammates with different expressions in their eyes.

There is fear, there is terror, there is sadness... and there is envy.

The taciturn Rexon suddenly spoke.

"Bond's strength has broken through... He is now at least at the Black Iron level. Even without the support of the Necromancer, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to become his opponent."

The spirited young man Greyhound said in a hoarse voice.

"Can he still be called Bond now?"

Rexon said with a complicated expression.

"Maybe... it's no longer possible."

Bond was undoubtedly Bond, both in soul and body, but he could not see any familiar feeling in him.

This guy is like being reborn and has started a whole new life with new memories.

It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

After all, they weren't good people before.

When people have nothing to do, they are bound to fall into the exploration of the spiritual world. Rexon is in such a state of over-exploration at the moment.

Even, a crazy idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

If he could start over again as a dead soul, would all the sins he committed in his lifetime be wiped out? Once this thought came to his mind, it expanded uncontrollably in his heart, like a demon tempting him to fall into the abyss.

Especially not far from him, Am, who was holding the cage with both hands, was drooling almost on the ground.

"Demon King...Sir..."

Rexon couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If it was this guy, he would accept it without hesitation, right?

"It's disgusting... Can someone get rid of this thing?"

Chris cursed in disgust, her eyes still fixed on Sarah's direction, as if she was caught up in some unrealistic fantasy.

Greyhound's expression was as desperate as ever.

Crazy...

His teammates went crazy.

Perhaps it won't be long before he becomes like them...

Just when the greyhound was in despair, the evil demon king suddenly looked over here and walked towards them.

A look of fear appeared on Chris's face, and she quickly retreated to the corner of the stone prison.

The greyhound was the same, looking at him with the same horror, as if he was looking at a whip raised high.

However, the feeling of having their bodies hollowed out did not appear, as the Demon King did not seem to need them to contribute their magic power this time.

"Who among you is a thief?"

Greyhound swallowed and stammered.

"Me...and Chris."

Luo Yan continued to ask.

"Who is stronger?"

Greyhound subconsciously turned his gaze towards Chris, and even Rexon, who was standing beside him, also turned his gaze towards the disheveled woman.

Chris glared at her two teammates fiercely, then looked at the demon standing in front of the cage with eyes that were half fear and half desire.

She swallowed and spoke in a trembling voice.

"……what you up to?"

"Train a thief for me, or an assassin... according to your adventurer's standards." As he said this, Luo Yan brought over Sarah, who looked embarrassed.

Chris raised her eyebrows, and her expression became a little sinister.

"Why would I help a devil like you...Aaaaaah~"

The off-key scream startled Sarah.

However, she always felt that this guy was not really in pain, and was even enjoying it a little?

Her intuition was not wrong.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Luo Yan found that he could no longer extract faith from this guy.

The fear of the Demon King has been branded deep in her soul, and she has fallen into the Demon King's believer without even realizing it.

Just like Eminem who was imprisoned next to her.

"It seems that you need to put yourself in the right place. You are just a small thief, a rat that failed to steal fish. It would not take more effort for me to crush you to death than to crush an ant, and I can do it at any time."

Looking down at the adventurer crawling on the ground and twitching, Luo Yan took half a step forward and continued speaking in a majestic voice.

"However, I am merciful after all, even more merciful than the Saint Sith you believe in. I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. As long as you do as I say, I will not only reward you, but I may even give you your freedom back..."

After a pause, he continued.

"What is your answer?"

Chris was trembling all over, her face flushed sickly, and she nodded tremblingly.

"Yes... Demon Lord."

Rexon sighed and closed his eyes.

The greyhound huddled in the corner, holding its head, still as terrified as ever.

That's better.

Even Chrissy followed in Eminem’s footsteps.

He was the only one left in the entire Silver Scimitar who had not fallen...

…

After conquering the Gecko Clan, there are already a large number of NPCs that can be used in the cemetery. There is really no need to let Sarah stay in front of the store counter and be constantly harassed by newbies who have just entered the game.

Moreover, doing this kind of unskilled work all day is indeed not good for her personal development.

Since she has the desire to become a strong person, Luo Yan is still willing to help her.

A lizardman corpse was resurrected from the "morgue" of the cemetery. Luo Yan asked Youyou to hang the ID of [NPC Store Clerk] above his head, and then arranged him to the position where Sarah originally worked.

Although the newly resurrected zombies are rather dull, being a clerk in an NPC store does not require any technical skills and the work that needs to be done can be explained clearly in a few words.

After doing this, Luo Yan transferred Chris, whose body was hollowed out, to a solitary cell deep in the mine, and arranged for her to guide Sarah's practice there.

As a reward, he designed a separate toilet for her so that she didn't have to live with the smelly feces like other prisoners.

This guy has been fooled by PUA. He was so moved that he burst into tears and was overjoyed just by upgrading his cell... so much so that Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder if the cell in Leiming City was a little too humane. This thief couldn't be in a cell for the first time.

That's too weak.

After settling these things, Luo Yan handed a wooden dagger to Sarah as her training tool.

"If you don't understand something in the future, just ask Ms. Chris. If she doesn't teach you well, then come and tell me."

Sarah nodded seriously and took the wooden dagger from Luo Yan's hand.

"Yes! Sarah...will study hard."

For a non-superhuman being, her strength is actually not weak. She can even dodge the magic circle she set up. Her only flaw is that she has not received systematic training.

Chris is a thief trained by the Thieves Guild, which makes up for her lack of experience.

Luo Yan nodded, looked at Chris, gave her a warning look, indicating that she should not teach anything unnecessary and should not even think about playing any tricks, and then left the dim cave.

At the same time he came out of the cave, Arakdo, who had gone to inquire about the disaster, had returned and had been waiting in the Hall of Blood for a long time.

"Master Demon! Your servant is back!"

Looking at the demon king coming towards him, Arakdo retracted his eight strong limbs and prostrated himself on the ground respectfully.

Looking at his smug expression, Luo Yan asked casually.

"What's the situation at Shadow Weaver's Lair? Is the damage there serious?"

"It's not serious... not serious! Thanks to you for allowing me to go back and help, the original leak has been repaired by our 'diggers'! Although some of our tribesmen died, most of them were immature spiders, so they are not a big deal!"

"By the way, Madam Arachnos told Lord Demon not to worry, she said she could bring the children back with an effort. In addition, she praised me for becoming stronger and asked me to go back and help more often if I have time..."

Arakdo smiled foolishly and rubbed his front legs shyly, like a giant turtle that had just lost its virginity.

Luo Yan stared at him blankly, stunned and was about to say something, but then he remembered that he was a spider, and calling him a newborn seemed like a compliment to him, so he had to give up complaining.

"I'm glad you're alright... I also said that if the situation is too serious, the tax for next month can be reduced by half."

Arakdo immediately shook his head and said.

“No, no, but it would be great if you could provide some lizard tails or slimes to Lady Arachnos… The Shadow Weaver Nest needs richer nutrition.”

"Well, I'll arrange it."

Luo Yan nodded, then his eyes fell on the long string of rice dumplings tightly wrapped in spider silk beside him.

These things look vaguely familiar.

When the "rat plague" broke out in the maze before, these crypt spiders seemed to have stored a lot of "dry food", which looked exactly like this thing.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

"some!"

Arakdo nodded hurriedly, then poked a few "big dumplings" next to him with his forelimbs.

Those dumplings were actually still alive. After feeling the stimulation from the outside world, they twisted as if struggling.

"This is?"

"This is an adventurer who was washed into Shadow Weaver's Lair by the flood!" Arachno said attentively, "You told us not to rush to eat the captured adventurer, so Lady Arachnos asked me to bring it to you."

Luo Yan counted them and found that there were fifteen of them!

Not only that, Arakdo also packed up their equipment and brought it back, and piled it in the corner of the hall.

As the master of the maze, Luo Yan would naturally not be polite to these uninvited intruders and would throw them all away to generate electricity.

"Move them to the newly built cells. I'll make them regret trespassing on my territory."

Arakdo immediately obeyed the order.

"yes!"
