Chapter 1829: Safe House No. 13

A hundred yards underground in the "Relic Area", in the intricate labyrinth, a stone room was illuminated by the beam of light rising suddenly from the ground.
When the transmission of light turned from light to dark, the five figures appeared.
Joan and Klein, Schorz, Gomodo, and Robin Hood opened the "Iron Virgin" as soon as they completed the transmission, protecting themselves and their companions behind the crystal steel shield wall, and confirmed that there was no danger around them before they were relieved.
The wall of one side of the stone room is equipped with a constant "indestructible bright flame" candlestick, and the dim firelight creates a more gloomy atmosphere than darkness.
The floors, walls, and ceilings are all polished and smooth stone plates, and no traces of piling up are visible, apparently after the magical decoration.
It is about 30 feet high from the ground to the ceiling. There is a sole portal on the wall facing the teleportation array. Joan looks out through the door. The narrow corridor extends to the end of the sight and is submerged in the darkness.
"Mr. Mage, Mr. Dwarf, Uncle Toad, come over and look at this!" Korui Jing's cry came from behind. "Look at this bronze medal, it seems to be full of text."
Joan looked in the direction of Robin Hood's fingers, and there was indeed a two-foot square piece of brass nailed to the wall of the door. Several lines of text were carved in the underground common language, and the magical light appeared faintly.
"Mr. Master, what does this say?"
"Don't you read it yourself?" Elder Quat interjected.
Kaorui Jing scratched his head awkwardly: "I can't understand this kind of text..."
"Huh? You can't understand the most basic underground lingua franca. What words do you usually use when writing? Tu language?"
"I can only speak in the Tu language, and I can't write it." Robin Hood smiled. "In fact, I can't write anything."
"Oh! It turns out your kid is illiterate!"
"Uncle, don't you need to make such a fuss? Is it illiterate... what's wrong with illiteracy? Isn't this a normal thing!" Robin Hood said distraughtly.
Gemodo exchanged glances with Klein and Schultz, looking at Robin Hood's eyes with a little sympathy.
Joanne felt that Robin Hood was right. No matter the surface world or the underground world, people who have the conditions to read and read are very few in the society. However, specific to different places, different ethnic groups, there will be a wide gap in literacy rates.
The literacy rate of the citizens of Midgard is obviously much higher than the literacy rate of the villagers in the village of Delin. For the same reason, Klein, Schorz and Gemodo are all born in the noble families of their respective ethnic groups. For an elite like them, it's just a basic skill, and wild Kauri Jing doesn't have such good conditions.
In order to help Robin Hood get rid of the embarrassing situation, Joan quickly cleared his throat and took the initiative to digress.
"This bronze medal is a notice provided by the organizers of the tournament, indicating that the stone room where we are at the moment is the ‘safe house number 13’.

"All participating teams will be randomly transferred to a safe house, this is the starting point of the maze adventure."
"The safe house has a magical enchantment and will never be attacked by monsters. We can rest assured here and make an adventure plan."
"It doesn't matter how long we want to stay here, but then again, the longer you stay in the safe house, the more competitors will leave us behind."
Joan read the notice on the bronze medal aloud, and then cast the "Mage's Hand", gently touching the bronze medal to activate the spell attached to it.
The bronze medal was slightly distorted in the center, and then opened a big mouth, repeating the content that Joan had just read aloud in the underground common language.
"Our host is very meticulous, specially added 2 rings of magical magic mouth on the signboard, even if they can't read, they can understand the content of the signboard." Qiao An explained.
He had learned the spell "Magic Mouth" from the ancient book father in Yunzhong City, so he recognized it at a glance.
"Brother Joan, did you notice that we are at the starting point of safe house 13, and there are only nine teams in total? It can be seen that there are far more safe houses in the maze than the participating teams. If we find other ones on the way to exploration The vacant safe house can be used as a camp for temporary rest or overnight accommodation." Klein stroked his beard and analyzed.
Joan agrees with the dwarf brother, but the other teams may have the same considerations. It is also expected that the two teams will fight for the safe house.
"Don't say this, let's hurry up on the road so as not to be left behind." Schultz urged.
Joan followed his companion to the door, took out the "navigation compass", and tried to generate the surrounding map.
The result is really just like the Chief Guno warned before the game. The navigation spell attached to the compass was strongly disturbed by the magic, and all of them failed, and it was impossible to generate a clear map.
A group of five people walked not far away, and the front tunnel was divided into three forks.
Robin Hood approached every intersection to spy on him, then turned to face his companion, and spread his hands helplessly.
"All junctions look similar. Which road should we choose?"
"In this case, we might as well use the "right-hand rule" to screen the fork in the road." Schultz said, stroking his chin.
"What is the'right-hand rule'?" the old marsh toad asked curiously.
"This is a term in our prospecting industry. When searching for veins in intricate underground tunnels, we often encounter bifurcations. If we accidentally get lost, we even forget which forks we have traveled. In order to avoid getting lost, try to avoid as much as possible. Going back, we summed up two rules of thumb."
Klein faced the fork, spread his right hand, palms up, and explained to his companions.
"When there is a fork in the road, if all the forks look the same, there are no obvious traps or difficulties, the one on the right is preferred."
Then, the dwarf brother reversed his right hand, the palm was perpendicular to the ground, and the thumb was facing up.
"If the roads are arranged longitudinally, there is no right or left, and the road that is closest is preferred."
"If the currently selected road does not work, it will return to the last intersection, and the remaining intersections will still be sorted and explored according to the "right-hand rule"."
After listening to Klein's explanation, Robin Hood first imitated his right hand, spread his left hand, and then opened his left hand inexplicably asked: "Mr. Dwarf, why use the right hand to judge which way to go, is it not with the left hand May I?"
"The left-hand rule or the right-hand rule is essentially the same thing. The key is not to use which hand to position, but to stick to it as soon as it is adopted. Do not be half-hearted. For a while, the left hand will be the right hand, and sooner or later you will be halo." Klein said laughingly.
