Salted Fish Mage Survival Log [Through the Book]

After several days of journey, this team has arrived in the forest found in the underground labyrinth.

Perhaps because of the long-term preparations, this lush forest that was rarely visited by people has become very lively.

Leaves and branches that blocked people's way were cut down to clear a large open space.

The smell of moist leaves being burnt remained in the air. Vincent estimated that they would actually use wind magic to cut off the obstructing branches and leaves, and then use fire magic to burn the excess branches and leaves.

A large number of carriages stayed in this sorted out space, and people got off the carriages and began to busy carry the necessary supplies.

The identities of Vincent and Caesarion naturally don't need to do this kind of physical work with other people. They were received by the personnel sent by the vanguard waiting here to the entrance of the underground labyrinth.

Rem followed Vincent. As an apprentice assistant brought by Vincent, she was also spared from carrying those heavy objects. Instead, she had the opportunity to see with her own eyes the underground labyrinth that she had only heard about in storybooks or rumors.

"This is the underground labyrinth...?" It was the first time Rem actually came into contact with the existence of the underground labyrinth.

It is different from what I imagined, and it is not a weird and daunting appearance.

The entrance of the underground labyrinth is more like a relic that has been corroded by the years and quietly buried by vines and fungi in the depths of the forest.

If it is different from ordinary ruins, it is probably that this entrance seems to grow in the middle of a huge banyan tree.

As if growing directly from the tree trunk, it presents a 'convex' font.

The protruding one is the canopy that soars into the sky, while the lower one extending to the sides is the obviously old 'gate' covered with moss and vines.

Judging from the size and shape of this ancient tree, it probably wasn't the same age as the underground labyrinth, but grew here later.

From the dark and open door, Rem could feel the wind blowing from inside, which meant that there was a huge space behind this door.

A long staff appeared in Vincent's hand at some point.

There are translucent blue crystals inlaid and floating above the long staff, and you can feel the huge magic power contained in it just by looking at it from a distance.

"When can we go in?" Vincent asked Caesarline beside him, not the person who led them here.

The only one who can call the shots is Caesarion.

"Anytime." Caesarion replied, he also looked at the door that had been corroded by moss and vines, and his face showed eagerness to try.

As long as you are an adventurer or a magician, your yearning and desire for the underground labyrinth cannot be described in words.

Some people are eager to get gold, silver and jewels in the underground labyrinth, so that they can live comfortably; some people are eager to obtain unknown knowledge, so as to improve their realm; some people are eager to get the inheritance of the owner of this underground labyrinth. , Since then, he has been so successful that he has made others bow their heads.

But the last situation is very rare. If you want those "ants" who are far inferior to you to admit those "ants" who are far inferior to you and let them inherit everything you have, you have to be the son of heaven.

It's not that Caesarion has never entered the underground labyrinth. He has also shown his talents in the underground labyrinth, which has been appreciated by others, and his titles and merits have continued to accumulate and rise.

But this underground labyrinth was different from the ones Caesarion had ever been to, which excited his curious nature of taking risks and conquering the unknown.

"Anytime..." Sure enough, the ownership and control of this underground labyrinth is in the hands of Caesarlane.

After confirming his guess, Vincent looked at the door and swallowed.

The nature of the mage’s longing for the unknown made Vincent want to say, ‘Then we’ll go in right away’, but his rationality dragged him from being too hasty: ‘Do you want to cause conflicts of interest? won't run! '

"Forget it, let's go in together after everyone else is ready." After weighing it, Vincent gave up the tempting idea of ​​going in early to find out.

Vincent would rather wait than a few minutes earlier and wrangling with other mages and explorers for hours.

Caesarline had no objection to Vincent's decision.

While Vincent was thinking, he had already sorted out a place to sit and was calling for Vincent to come over and rest.

Rem was startled, and then she pulled her mind back from the shock and excitement of seeing the underground labyrinth with her own eyes, and realized that she was a step late.

Rem was supposed to do this kind of trivial work, but Caesarion took advantage of his understanding of Vincent to do it first.

Facing Rem's annoyed expression, Caesarline raised his eyebrows lightly, showing a "just that" expression, and ignored Rem, who was not threatening, and greeted Vincent on his own .

(Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor should be respected...why do I think he is so childish and hateful?) Rem couldn't help but stomped her feet, but Caesarlane had already taken the opportunity, and now Rem could only Standing awkwardly beside Vincent.

Vincent was still thinking about the underground labyrinth in front of him.

There are only two purposes of ordinary underground labyrinths.

Preserve important property and knowledge, or wait for someone who is destined to inherit the will of the master of the underground labyrinth.

If it is the former, then the traps and monsters in the underground labyrinth are powerful and more lethal.

And if it is the latter, it is more a test of heart and morality than lethality.

And this kind of underground labyrinth is often made by the power who is about to fall in order to leave his own inheritance.

The three-story underground labyrinth, with such a scale, is probably the latter according to conventional thinking.

If this underground labyrinth is really looking for a successor, then it's no wonder so many mages came out in response.

It would be impossible for Vincent not to be tempted, but his state of mind was very stable.

If Vincent didn't follow Caesarlane, then Vincent would still think about it, then Vincent has already seen the future at this moment.

Only Caesarion will get this underground labyrinth.

The desire of the mages to explore this underground labyrinth was no less than that of Vincent and Caesarion, but in just a few minutes, the team quickly assembled.

It can be seen from the clothes and looks which forces these teams belong to.

Vincent scanned roughly, and apart from the three-member team of him, Caesarion, and Rem, the rest were the Mage Tower, the Mage Association, and the Adventurers Association.

The Mage Association, which has a cooperative relationship with the Adventurer's Association, has automatically allocated personnel, and the people in the Mage Tower have already found mercenaries to cooperate with them.

The atmosphere between the two parties is tense, after all, they are competitors.

But Vincent and Caesarline, who were caught between the two parties, adapted well.

After all, both Vincent and Caesarline have seen more tense and more sinister scenes than this moment.

But Rem hadn't seen it before.

Before she was accepted as an apprentice by Vincent, she was just a maid in the palace, and she had never seen such killing intent that was almost materialized.

Rem's knees were almost trembling. If it wasn't for the anger in her heart that she should not embarrass Teacher Vincent in front of everyone, she would have been unable to hold on and fell limp to the ground.

"Rem." Vincent noticed Rem's strangeness, he stood up and put his hands on Rem's shoulders, calling her name softly.

"Ah, yes!" Rem was persevering. When she felt the warm hand on her shoulder, she felt certain in her heart, as if she had found the backbone, and the oppressive feeling of the two people fighting in front of her also made her feel uncomfortable. away.

The movement made by Rem and Vincent attracted two groups of people who were looking at each other.

They were sizing up the equipment and strength of their competitors, and the movement on Vincent's side also caught their attention.

Who are these three?

One has black hair and black pupils, wearing a mage's robe, the other is tall, probably a combatant, and the other young girl seems to be an inexperienced apprentice. There is no team like this in the mage tower department, nor With the Mages Association, who are they?

Under the scrutiny of the two groups of people, although Vincent could be calm and composed, Rem couldn't stand it.

She had already subconsciously hidden herself behind Vincent, but because she couldn't cause trouble for Teacher Vincent, she mustered up the courage to face those cold gazes.

"Since everyone is ready, we should be able to set off?" Vincent sighed inwardly, and opened his mouth to draw attention to himself.

Originally, this matter should not be done by him. Caesarline, Mural, and Wen Dejin are more suitable.However, under the circumstances that Caesarline disguised his identity and could not reveal it for the time being, Wen Dejin and Mural were equally powerful. If either of these two spoke first, the flames of confrontation between the camps would burn even more vigorously.

Thinking about it carefully, there is really no one more suitable to be a leader than Vincent.

But even so, the strange voice still exists.

"Who are you?" Someone questioned.

"What qualifications do you have to stand in that position!" Some people were also dissatisfied.

Vincent was standing between the two parties at the moment, and beside him was everyone's goal—the entrance to the underground labyrinth.

Wendekin and Mural were not there, and they probably went to do the final explanation.

Vincent raised his eyebrows. He always hated this kind of occasion where he had to use his status to suppress others, but if necessary, he didn't mind letting these high-spirited young people know what it means to respect the old and love the young.

"Your teacher should have taught you?—Don't be rude to mages who are obviously stronger than you." Vincent's voice was very gentle and not loud, but everyone present could clearly hear Vincent The voice seemed to be ringing directly in the ear.

This is the power of wind magic, but not everyone can achieve such a quiet, even precise and clear level.

This is a warning.

The sorcerer with a wink pulled his partner around him, not to touch the bad head.

Vincent didn't intend to go too far, he came to explore the underground labyrinth, not to be a teacher.

After he revealed this trick, no one questioned Vincent for the time being, allowing Vincent, Rem, and Caesarline to be clean for a while.

Fortunately, Vincent didn't need to crush others to show his strength.

Everyone was strangely quiet, and after a while, Mural and Wendekin arrived late amidst their eagerly waiting.

"What happened?"
