Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, this is my first time here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So you don't know anything about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ulir took a small, hesitant breath, but then began to speak as if he had made up his mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The maze is a special place," he said. Here, the conventional wisdom of the labyrinth does not apply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I was very much aware of the curse."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Therefore, a special method of containment is required.

"It's not just a matter of defeating the master of the labyrinth, is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, that's only for dungeons that are generated. I'm sorry, but not here. No matter how many times you defeat the master of the labyrinth, as long as there is time, it will return to its original state.

"Tribute?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, a fragment of power left behind by the six deities, called a relic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You think that's what that fire is?

　Yuril's story was as follows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although it is called a relic, it is technically an alter ego of the relic, and the main body of the relic is enshrined in the main shrine of each country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And since it is an alter ego, it is not as powerful as the main body, and is only able to seal the noxious gas holes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And its power must be stored up over time by enshrining it in temples around the country.
