To be honest, the new Rye Fortress renovated by Sui Xiong, at least from the outside, is not very beautiful.
The original two-layered super city wall, with its inner and outer layers, was indeed majestic. However, with the addition of the roof of the same color and material above the head, the momentum of the city wall suddenly disappeared. From a distance, it looks like a huge black column on the ground. Fortunately, the top of it shrinks smoothly, and there is a peak at the top. If the roof was rounder enough, it would be slightly larger...
Sui Xiong did originally plan to design it this way, but after he came up with the design, he felt something was wrong. He looked left and right, but he still couldn't see the problem, but the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became stronger and stronger. In the end, he simply made a palm-sized miniature model, and then he understood where the problem lay.
What a dome! This thing is simply the "stick in the sky" in the so-called "folk culture"!
As an art student, Sui Xiong lacks a lot of knowledge that ordinary college students should have, but he also knows a lot of knowledge that ordinary universities will never teach. For example, he knew that many areas in the world with relatively primitive cultural forms still maintain sex worship, such as **** mountains and Chaotian sticks. These things would be regarded as disharmonious and unhealthy in developed areas. In them, Over there, he is the object of worship.
Sui Xiong does not discriminate against such a culture, but he definitely does not want to practice it himself.
He felt a toothache when he thought that future generations might compare him to Steele because of this "One-Stick Fortress."
Even though he actually has no teeth.
Even without teeth, you will feel toothache, which shows how serious the problem is.
Therefore, Sui Xiong finally chose to make the overall shape of the fortress look like a spike pointing toward the sky, which was also a choice made out of desperation.
Such a shape is not really powerful and domineering, so he had to put more effort into the internal design.
So Sui Xiong started work.
He first designed the inside of the fortress into a labyrinth of nine twists and turns. Unless it was an insider with the right to use the secret passage, it would take a long time to pass through the fortress even with a map.
This is naturally an extremely effective method, but some other work needs to be done to prevent encounters with door-smashing groups.
When playing tabletop games before traveling back in time, Sui Xiong had come into contact with a type of player known as the "door-smashing group." When they encounter puzzles in mazes or tasks, they never follow the instructions honestly, but tend to use simple and crude methods to solve them.
For example, someone designed a task: a village chief was disturbed by the large number of goblins in a nearby cave and hoped to recruit a group of warriors to annihilate them. As a reward, he could give several magic scrolls in his collection to annihilate them. The hero of the Goblin tribe.
According to the thinking of ordinary people like Sui Xiong, of course everyone should pack up their equipment, bring supplies, and then go to the cave to fight with the goblins, eliminate them, and then come back to get the prize. But the door-smashing group would not do this. When Sui Xiong participated in this game, he saw with his own eyes several players of the door-smashing group blocked the cave with large rocks, then filled the cave with smoke along the cracks in the stone, and then followed the smoke. Find the vents of the cave and block them one by one.
They brought enough stones to block all the exits of the cave, and then went to do other things. About a month later, they returned to this place, opened the blocked cave, and saw goblin corpses all over the ground.
These unlucky monsters died of thirst. Although they can kill each other and eat the flesh of the same kind to obtain food, when there is food but no water, they will actually die faster than if they don't eat or drink...
So the mission was completed. The door-smashing group spent nothing but some energy and time, and easily got the reward.
Sui Xiong was dumbfounded at the time, and later learned many tricks from the door-smashing group.
For example, there is a treasure house in front of you, but the door is locked. What should you do
Most people's thinking is to find keys to open the door, or to let thieves try to open the lock. The door-smashing group's approach is to smash the door directly - because this method is so classic, there is the term "door-smashing group".
Then, what should I do if I encounter a maze
Most people's approach is for thieves to carefully explore the route, and everyone makes their own map while moving forward, and explore cautiously. The goal-smashing group's approach was to directly break the wall and pass through the maze in a straight line.
In addition, it goes without saying that there are various situations. In short, the door-smashing group is a kind of existence that is full of vitality and action, but makes anyone who designs mazes and tasks troubled by it.
Of course, Sui Xiong also wanted to prevent door-smashing groups from causing trouble, so he strengthened the walls of the labyrinth inside the fortress. Want to smash through a wall? If you have this ability, then this fortress will be nothing to you.
Of course, according to his test results, the one who could break through this wall would basically have to be a high-level Legend.
Legendary high-level people are not just cabbages in the field. They can be counted on one hand in the entire main plane. So Sui Xiong didn't have to worry about a wild legendary high-level jumping out of nowhere and causing him any trouble.
In this case, this maze is as stable as a mountain.
(… It’s better not to flaunt yourself so much. In my impression, people who brag like this will usually be slapped in the face by reality.)
Sui Xiong looked at the maze made entirely of dark rock, smiled, wiped away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then began to decorate it.
Question: What materials should be used to decorate a maze
Answer: Of course it’s a trap!
Although the maze itself has a certain degree of defense, it is not strong enough. After all, the maze itself cannot kill people. Therefore, it needs to be supplemented by things that can actually cause damage to the enemy.
The only things that can cause damage to the enemy are soldiers or traps. In the future, there will definitely be soldiers stationed in the fortress, but if the trap is powerful enough, some soldiers can be killed. If a war actually breaks out, the soldiers will be able to more easily destroy the enemy.
So Sui Xiong began to set up traps in the maze. He laid out all the traps he could think of, such as rolling rocks, powerful crossbow thorns, lightning poison gas, sticky fire pillars... all kinds of traps together, they are not very big in this place. There are more than a thousand traps arranged in the maze.
These traps are not isolated, but are intertwined. A trap is usually connected to several traps. Even if the enemy escapes one of them, he may not be able to escape the rest. Even if they have great magical powers or great luck and can escape a whole set, don't be too happy because the trap can be restored automatically.
Anyway, after all the traps were set up, Sui Xiong opened them all, and then made a clone of himself with similar physical strength to a normal person to try to break through.
As a result... Even though he knew what traps he had to face, his clone only made it less than one-fifth of the distance before falling into the trap.
"NICE!" Sui Xiong took back his clone and laughed loudly, "This is the effect we want!"
