The leader regretted it. apple He intended to provoke Shirone, but ended up closing the deal too quickly.

However, the leader was also not an easy opponent.

“That could be an answer, but you have to explain it. aluminum It’s a breach of contract. aluminum If this continues, I won’t ask more.”

“We came to meet the natives. arcade Is that enough?”

Shirone looked at his friends and nodded. anchor If they also didn’t know what was underground, the risk of falling into a trap was eliminated for now.

The cunning magician explained further.

“We don’t know anything else either. avalanche Because we really came just to meet the natives.”

“I see.”

“We came to look for Loop. auction It’s also distributed in the market, but we can buy it in bulk here at a much cheaper price. voyage We plan to sell it and finance our adventures. acoustic Now, is that an answer?”

“Why did you come to meet the natives? academy Here’s one gold coin.”

The archer who received the money clicked his tongue as if in conflict. aluminum To be honest, it was embarrassing to tell others.

Thinking it was a fair trade, Shirone took out an additional gold coin.

Shirone was surprised for a moment. alien It was a Loop trafficking place that had nothing to do with the secrets of the ruins.

‘What is this? arrow Completely different from what I expected? atom A drug trafficking place? alpha No, I shouldn’t think that way. atlas It’s a drug for ordinary people but a ritual tool for the natives. harbor Therefore, it must be a sacred object. advance That means, ultimately…

But the mercenaries had also found this place with fragmented information, so it was premature to conclude.

“By any chance, is this place connected to the autonomous area of the natives?”

After finishing his thoughts, Shirone asked.

Realizing his mistake, the archer frowned. antenna He had answered without receiving money.

“What? alert How… Oh, damn!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, here’s one gold. anchor Sorry for asking first.”

So Shirone rummaged in his pocket and took out a gold coin. anxiety He had hurriedly asked, but he had no intention of playing a trick.

The archer stared at Shirone’s outstretched hand.

“It’s not a mistake. abstract That’s how contracts work.”

“Darn it! legend Never mind. abstract It’s my mistake.”

Of course, a gold coin wasn’t easy to earn, but it wasn’t an amount that would terrify a mercenary who had built their own career.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone returned the gold coin without hesitation. harbor It wasn’t the attitude of a prudent student to waste it when he didn’t want to accept it.

“I know! accent It’s just that my pride won’t let me accept it. august Damn it, I can’t believe I made such a mistake. attic I still have a long way to go.”

“Then I’ll consider the last question as a free service.”

The archer was in trouble for no reason. acoustic At some point, he felt like a child was playing with him.

“Because Loop is sacred to the natives. airport Also, if the profit margin is large enough to make a lot of money selling Loop, it wouldn’t be easy to free it. academy Ultimately, you’d need permission from a person with authority among the natives, and the only place where that person could be would be an autonomous area.”

“Instead, let me ask you something. afford How did you find out? meadow Indeed, that information is top-secret.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“No, that’s all. athlete Now, let’s go down and check.”

“Tsk! adapt What an incredible brain this brat had. palette Any more questions?”

The archer had nothing to say. academy While they wondered if there was anything worth doing with the money, what they found were the ruins of Kerugo.

Shirone’s brief words contained all the conclusions he had reached after spending several days and nights investigating Loop and examining the information market.

Unlike the natives outside, they were bare-chested and barefoot beneath their pants.

When they reached the end of the stairs, a one-way corridor continued. adopt Two natives stood at an iron door installed 10 meters ahead.

Shirone and the others descended for 20 minutes. timber Although it spiraled, it still had great depth.

The archer smiled bitterly. advance He guessed why Shirone wasn’t asking. legend Probably, he noticed that no matter what he asked, he had nothing more to say.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

After exchanging some coded words in the Kerugo language, the native pressed the switch.

Shirone didn’t believe that place was an autonomous district. arcade They would have to walk at least a few kilometers to delve into the Toa Mountain jungle.

The mercenaries also showed signs of tension. palette The archer acting as an interpreter shifted his position to the leader’s side.

The tattoo, starting at the navel, branched out to their faces and looked intimidating even from a distance.

Shirone’s eyes lit up as if he had landed in a strange world.

It was an octagonal room carved in stone walls. wizard On the other side of the entrance, they could see an iron door, and three men were standing guard there.

When the iron wheel turned, the door opened sideways.

“Wow…”

It was an octagonal room carved in stone walls. canvas On the other side of the entrance, they could see an iron door, and three men were guarding it.

Shirone’s eyes lit up as if he had landed in a strange world.

In the center was an octagonal altar, identical to the shape of the room, flat, and floating above each of its eight corners were spheres about 30 centimeters in diameter.

The archer looked at Shirone with a puzzled look. voyage He didn’t even know what it was until they arrived here, and the chances of anything being familiar to him were extremely slim.

“Hey, what’s that?”

Shirone recalled from his memory. acid It was a sphere he had certainly seen somewhere before.

“Why, do you know what that is?”

The leader moistened his lips.

“That, it’s definitely from Miro…”

“Hey, who do you think you are pretending to know? galaxy Do you think you remembered some bells hanging from your behind?”

Asked a native guarding the entrance. acoustic Even Shirone, who didn’t know the native language, could understand the word Miro.

“Miro? shadow Did you just say Miro?”

The leader didn’t like Shirone from the tavern. audit He despised men who lacked the courage to fight but were boastful in front of women. arena Because he had no woman to impress.

“Yes. legend I met her once.”

“Is he asking if you know Miro?”

The archer, curious about the situation, reluctantly translated further.

When the archer said that, the eyes of the native distorted. ability When the tattoo twisted, it was like seeing a creature from a legend.

The native sank into deep thought. autumn However, as if he had reached a simple conclusion, he quickly returned to having an empty look.

“No, it’s not. amateur I really met her.”

“You met? adopt There can’t be such a thing. agent That’s a lie.”

As the mercenaries walked towards the center, a native arrived from the other side of the iron door.

“I judge nothing. arrow Only the eyes of the angel will watch over you.”

After leaving behind incomprehensible words and closing the iron door, Shirone put aside his regret and turned around. beacon He thought the beginning was from now on anyway.

“This is a room of achievements and sacrifices. palette The eight eyes of an angel will judge you. aluminum To enter Kerugo, you must traverse the labyrinth of time and space.”

Apparently, of the three natives, two were gatekeepers, and only the man approaching seemed to have a different role.

Upon hearing the word labyrinth, Shirone quickly turned his head. armor But the archer kept his mouth shut, as if he had no intention of interpreting further.

It was clear just from the color of the tattoo. aspect While common people in Kerugo have red tattoos, this man’s tattoo was white.

“Labyrinth? meadow Did he just say labyrinth? legend What did that man say?”

“You’re going to tell your colleagues anyway. adapt Tell me quickly.”

“Hey, don’t misunderstand. atlas I’m not your interpreter, why should I explain everything to you?”

The man with white tattoos looked at them with crossed arms. aluminum Shirone could tell just from his gestures that he was asking for a translation.

“I don’t want to. sphere From now on, let’s not worry about others. wizard We came here with something to do as well.”

“Is there anyone among you who knows the ancient language?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, I know a little.”

“No. alpha From the moment you entered the room of achievements and sacrifices, you are one. atlas Will you achieve or sacrifice? abstract That is the only choice you have.”

“Then translate. artist The opportunities are the same for everyone. legend The eyes of an angel watch over everything in the labyrinth of Time and Space.”

“Why should I do that? abstract They’re not our companions. palette I don’t know what you’re judging, but please separate them.”

With no other choice, the archer conveyed the conversation they had heard so far.

As the conversation dragged on, the magician moved forward.

“Damn it! acquire We had bad luck. abstract What are we going to do with these kids?”

“What is he exactly saying? album Tell me now.”

Amy’s eyes narrowed as the magician complained.

“Will the Angel’s eyes judge us? arch Does that mean they assess our abilities? anchor And group us with these brats? crystal Isn’t this too unfair for us?”

The mercenaries who heard everything were irritated. agent If they knew this was going to happen, they should have gotten rid of Shirone’s party before coming here.

“Ho Ho Ho! amateur Ah, so it’s like that? arctic Do you want to cling to us after taking advantage? crystal Just so you know, if we mess things up because of you, you better be prepared.”

“Hmph! avalanche Do whatever you want. anxiety We never planned to team up with you anyway.”

“Hey, you keep calling us brats, how do you know if we have skills or not?”

On the other hand, those ignorant children were obviously students who learned swordsmanship and magic somewhere.

She didn’t get along with inferior mercenaries, so her colleagues were only formed by people of similar age and level.

The magician smiled coldly. action Who did they think they were? amber She was a novice mage, one of the most promising newcomers in the mercenary world.

What you learn in the academy is a world apart from real combat. acid For mercenaries who easily risk their lives, she could be sure they wouldn’t hold her back, even compared to a certified mage.

As the eight awaited further instructions, the man with the white tattoo began to explain.

Thanks to the women’s disputes, they were able to bury petty feelings.

‘Ha, just wait and see, brats. aspect I’ll make you cry and beg once we’ve passed through here.

“There are two conditions to pass through the door. arch You can test your ability or send a person through the sacrifice of another.”

“What do you mean by testing? arctic What do we need to specifically test?”

As soon as Shirone heard the translation, he asked a question.

The archer, who had nothing to say, gritted his teeth and translated. orbit The man with the white tattoo nodded and continued speaking.

“Descendant of a warrior, ascend to the altar of judgment and cast your spell on one of the eight orbs. ability The divine language will respond. canvas If a red light lights up, you have failed. audit If a white light comes out, you have passed.”

“Is there a limit to the number of attempts? legend For example, can a person try as many times as they want?”

Shirone kept asking questions, as if he had hired the archer as his personal interpreter.

“A person can pass with the blood of another.”

“You said achievement and sacrifice. voyage What does ‘sacrifice’ mean?”

“You can keep trying until you’re exhausted. matrix If a passerby comes out, everyone can go to Kerugo. amber If no one passes, everyone must return. altitude This is the will of the labyrinth and the mission of the people of Kerugo.”

“Do you mean someone has to die?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 138: Labyrinth of time and space (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Upon hearing that, Shirone lost himself in his thoughts. abstract It is possible to challenge as many times as one wants, and even if only one person succeeds, everyone can pass.

“Yes.”

But what if nobody succeeds? orbit They would have no choice but to pass through the door with the sacrifice of a companion. alert And it was one life for each passage.

Shirone indicated to continue the interpretation. academy The information gathered so far was useful, so the archer agreed without a word.

“Is there any restriction on the sacrifice? abstract Like bringing someone else from outside or using the corpse of a dead person?”

‘Something is strange. zenith Was it necessary to go to Kerugo with such cruelty? zenith It doesn’t make sense to kill a comrade just to get to Loop. amateur There must be something more in Kerugo. ability The mercenaries must have come here without knowing the true secret of this underground place.

“No. antenna From the moment you entered the room, you are one. beacon The door will never open until everyone agrees. arch Therefore, that question is meaningless.”
