This is the origin of the maze conquest that Murphy just mentioned.

However, at the end of this campaign, even though the kingdom invested a lot of manpower and resources, it still failed to successfully defeat the S-level monster.

That monster might be weaker than its peers, but it is very smart.

It can also control the maze to a certain extent, which once caused great trouble to the kingdom's expeditionary force.

According to Old Jed, the monster finally took the initiative to appear in front of the expedition team and negotiate a ceasefire with them.

No one knows what they discussed, but the expedition retreated.

However, Murphy guessed that the rule prohibiting entry to the fourth floor was set at this time.

This should be the request of the monster in the armistice agreement.

The kingdom's requirement is that it is not allowed to leave the maze.

As for the S-level monster, it actually never left the last level of the maze from beginning to end.

Chapter 16: The City Deep in the Maze

"How to get down?"

"..."

Murphy looked at the cave in front of her where there was no ladder, not knowing what to do.

He asked the air in front of him.

"alright."

He heard a sound and saw the wall of the cave in front of him begin to wriggle, and then a spiral staircase appeared.

The spiral staircase surrounds the wall of the cave, extending downward in circles, just like the entrance to the first floor.

He walked down the stairs to the fourth floor, and the stairs behind him began to move again and disappeared.

The fourth level of the maze was no longer a maze, which made his eyes light up.

Although Murphy believes that the underground maze should be underground, and then there is a "maze".

But it's not very pleasant to stay in the maze all the time.

The first level of the maze is a forest, and the second and third levels are mazes.

But on the fourth floor, what he saw was a vast grassland and a very high ceiling, at the end of his sight.

There stood a city.

Murphy's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect there would be a city here.

"How is this going?"

He tried to ask the voice, but no one answered him.

"Go, go to the city."

He stood there waiting for a while and heard the voice again.

But this time he didn't listen to the voice directly, he hesitated.

He couldn't understand why there was a city at the deepest part of the maze.

As for who the residents of the city are, it is not difficult to guess. They should be the group of B-level and A-level monsters.

Murphy didn't move, he was waiting for the voice's response.

"Go ahead, trust me."

"..."

He still didn't move.

"What do you think demons and monsters represent?"

"It is necessary—"

"It's an enemy that needs to be killed." This sentence almost came out of his mouth, but Murphy stopped.

He remembered what Old Jed had told him, the legend about the S-rank monster in the deepest part of the maze.

That S-rank monster had taken the initiative to negotiate peace in the end and stopped the war.

"Do you know the types of demons?"

It was another question, but he still couldn't answer it because he didn't know.

In the education he received, all the demons were evil and needed to be killed.

Only dead demons are good demons.

The demons love to start wars and massacre humans.

They are aggressive and extremely savage.

Murphy has always believed this, that his parents died in the war with the demons.

But, is this really the case?

"I do not know."

Murphy really didn't know, he had never paid attention to it.

"yes."

"Then you should go to that city and take a look."

"The very center of that city is the entrance to the final level."

"I hope you won't hurt them."

He pondered for a moment, and finally took a step towards the maze city.

-------------------------------------

Murphy was squatting not far from the city gate, waiting for the voice's instructions.

He didn't dare to go in directly because there were two magical beasts in front of the door... No, it should be two magical beasts, guarding the city gate.

On the left is a monster with a dog's head and a human body, holding a long axe in his hand.

The one on the right is a monster with a bull's head and a human body, holding a giant stone sword in his hand.

Although Murphy thought their guard was very lax, one of them could even be said to be almost asleep.

"how should I do?"

He asked softly to the air in front of him.

"Just go directly."

Hearing the other party's nonchalant tone, Murphy hesitated.

Then he gritted his teeth, stood up and walked straight to the door.

Just as he was about to reach the city gate, the two monsters who had just dozed off suddenly opened their eyes.

They glanced at it with sharp eyes and then screamed.

"Humans?! How could there be humans here?!"

"I am----"

"Karl! Go and tell the incompetent guys in the city to hide."

"What's going on?! Do humans want to break the agreement with Lord Enoch?!"

"No, I'm not evil—"

"Don't ask me, Carl! Hurry up and tell someone who can fight to come over. I'll hold him back, you go!"

"No, I really don't—"

"Damn it, Doug, don't hold on. If the situation isn't right, run. I'll be right back! Wait for me!"

Murphy looked at the two monsters shouting in front of him and opened his mouth to show that he had no ill intentions.

But he kept being interrupted and couldn't say a complete sentence.

But he could see that the dog-headed man was called Doug and the minotaur was called Carl.

"Karl! If I can't make it back alive, I'll leave my wife in your care."

"Doug, what are you talking about? Stay alive and wait for me to come back!"

Murphy watched Doug squaring off in front of her, while Carl ran into the city crying.

“I didn’t—”

"Damn human, how dare you break the agreement with Lord Enoch!"

"No, I really didn't—"

"Even if it means death! I, Doug, will stop you from entering the city!"

Murphy sighed helplessly. The monster in front of him was completely different from what he imagined.

Although he was a little surprised that the monsters could talk, there was already a city here after all.

And there is also the precedent of that clever S-class monster.

So Murphy had actually guessed something and was not too surprised.

What really surprised him was the personalities of these two monsters.

In his mind, even if these monsters were not extremely sadistic, they should be very ferocious.

But no matter how you look at these two monsters, they look like the hot-blooded and stupid male protagonists in the Japanese comics of the previous life.

And I became the boss who did all kinds of evil.

This made him begin to doubt himself, wondering what was true and what was false in what he had been indoctrinated with.

The dog-headed man in front of him was still looking at him warily, with a somewhat anxious expression.

Murphy didn't move, didn't put his hand on the sword.

He wasn't going to hurt the other person.

Of course, if the other party takes the initiative to attack, that’s a different matter.

The kobold in front of Murphy seemed nervous.

After a while, it couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly rushed over yelling.

"Oh, that hot-blooded idiot is such a nuisance."

Looking at the long-handled axe swinging around recklessly, he sighed and used his scabbarded sword to knock the weapon out of the opponent's hand.

Then he turned his sword upside down and used the hilt to strike the kobold's stomach.

The other person bent down, knelt on the ground and began to retch, then gasped for breath.

"Calm down?"

"What?! You bastard! I absolutely won't allow you to--, ow!"

Murphy, who was squatting on the ground and talking to the dog-headed man, couldn't help but hit the other person in the face with his fist.

The dog-headed man whimpered and then fainted. Murphy, who was squatting beside him, sighed and sat next to him.

"I think I can answer your first question."

"What?"

"Demons and monsters represent fools."

"..."

The voice fell silent and ignored him.

-------------------------------------

After Murphy sat next to Doug for a while, there was a noise at the city gate.

He turned his head and saw that the minotaur named Carl was leading a group of various magical beasts.

"Doug! Aa ...
