Former officer of the Demon King's Army.
I never thought I could see such a title here.
The maze guardians Yang Yu had encountered before either had exaggerated attributes or possessed some special abilities.
Level 81, extremely poor attributes except for strength, no special abilities
Among the maze guardians that Yang Yu met, Clochi Doron was an outlier.
If Laux had pulled all the guardians of his maze into a group, Cloche would probably be urged to leave the group quickly to avoid embarrassment.
However, if you think about it carefully, perhaps, Clochi Doron is what ordinary people look like after working hard.
There must be some deep meaning behind the hero finding an ordinary person, a former cadre of the Demon King's army, to be the guardian of the maze.
Murphy
Cloche is no ordinary man either.
Normally, he can maintain his combat power at 500, and in explosive state it can exceed 10,000.
Or…
What kind of great military advisor is he
In the game, deliberately hiding one's true strength is nothing to be surprised about.
Yang Yu couldn't confirm whether Kloche was deliberately concealing his strength.
Through the last meeting with the brave man, Yang Yu more or less realized the limitations of the system.
If not only the name but also the attribute value can be hidden, many plans will have to be started over again.
Yang Yu got a headache when he thought about how the situation, which he thought was a sure win, was completely annihilated because the enemy deliberately concealed their strength.
I don’t know if there is any method to see through a person’s true strength. If there is, Yang Yu must learn it.
However, that is not what Yang Yu should be concerned about now. What Yang Yu should be concerned about now is how to pry some meaningful information out of the mouth of this man with a strong hairstyle.
"You want us to choose our opponent. Are we going to choose one from those four golems?"
Kloki shook his head and pointed to the four golems in the distance.
"If you want to gain the power of this maze, defeat all four golems in the distance. If you just want to pass the level, I will be your opponent."
Yang Yu did not make a decision immediately. He could see that Kloki's personality was a bit similar to Dongmu's, and there should be a possibility of communication between them.
"Don't worry, we just dealt with so many mud giants, our bodies are a little exhausted, we want to rest for a while.
We happen to have some questions we want to ask the maze guardian here, and we wonder if this guardian brother can answer our doubts for us.
If we fail in our attack, we can rest in peace."
Yang Yu kept his eyes fixed on Cloche's eyes. If Cloche showed any impatience, he would immediately end the topic.
However, Cloche's eyes were unexpectedly calm, without revealing any extra emotion, and he said:
"If you have any questions, just ask."
Without any hesitation, Yang Yu asked his first question.
"Are you the hero's companion?"
Cloche crossed his arms, "If it's about Laux, I can tell you very clearly that it's not."
"Then could you please tell me about the relationship between you and the hero?"
"If anything, he and I are from the same hometown."
"Fellow countryman, are you all from the Village of Sages?"
After Yang Yu asked this question, Kloche was obviously silent and did not answer for a long time.
"Isn't it?" Yang Yu asked tentatively.
"How should I answer this question?" Kloche raised his hand to hold his chin, frowned, and asked, "How much do you know about the story of Laux?"
"The great hero who defeated the devil and saved the world, his story is known to everyone."
"Everyone knows it. Who would have thought that Laux could do it too." Cloch sighed deeply, then smiled with some relief.
"You look a little surprised, as if you have never heard of the name of Laux." Yang Yu said.
"How should I put it?" Kloch paused for a long time and then slowly said, "I died a long, long time ago. So, I was not able to witness the end."
"Brave Laux, didn't I say anything to you when I was summoning your soul?"
Kloki raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You know, it's a lot."
Yang Yu took out a key he had obtained from the maze and waved it in front of Cloche's eyes. "I've heard a little bit about it in other places."
“No wonder.”
Pulling aside the thick fur, Cloche pulled out the necklace and revealed the key at the end of it.
“I don’t know what the other people he chose are like, and I don’t know if they know any inside information, and I don’t know if they have asked Laux why he built the underground maze.
All I know is that I know nothing.”
“.”
Yang Yu fell into a brief silence.
You said you helped Laux be the boss in the underground maze without knowing anything. After all, you are a former cadre of the Demon King's army. Are you going to agree to the hero's request so easily
Could it be that he cleared his name before he died
After thinking about it, Yang Yu could only think of this possibility.
"I know what you're thinking. I agreed so readily at that time, partly because I felt guilty towards him."
Cloche closed his eyes, and many things from the past appeared before his eyes.
"It was me who completely destroyed the village where we once lived. My hands were stained with the blood of countless compatriots, including Laux's parents."
With a stern face, Yang Yu asked:
"Why?"
Cloche sighed deeply, scratched his hairless head, and changed the subject abruptly.
"In short, if you ask me about the setting of the underground maze, I don't understand anything.
Figuring out how this underground maze works has taken up most of my energy.
I have never been a particularly smart person.
After hearing what you said, I have become somewhat interested in what Laux has experienced.
Can you tell me his story? Anyway, you and your partner are tired, right
Just think of it as giving your team a good rest and buying some time."
The other party deliberately avoided the question, and Yang Yu could not continue to ask.
“That’s true. But I only heard a lot about the hero Laux from hearsay.
Is there no problem with this?"
"Yes. No problem. I will judge the truth of those legends based on my understanding of Laux."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Kloch looked like a complete listener. He was not afraid that Yang Yu and the others would suddenly attack him. He just sat there.
It's like an old man who is completely illiterate and is waiting for someone to read to him the letters sent back by his son who lives away.
Yang Yu bravely sat on the ground face to face with Cloche and told him the legend of Laux that he had learned.
Happy New Yearヽ(°▽°)ノ
