Chapter 337 Castle Dilemma
Just as Yuwen Demon God thought, Lu Chen did expect such a situation. Moreover, as long as Yuwen Demon God does not defeat too quickly, such a situation will inevitably occur!
The two neutral second-rate forces in Linhai City launched a revenge battle against the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group. Even if Qingyun Pavilion values Lu Chen and the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, it would not dare to risk offending the two top second-rate forces to help.
Therefore, as long as the two major guilds launch an attack on the Shuiyun Steel Mining Valley, Qingyun Pavilion will definitely not stand up at the beginning. Otherwise, when the two major second-rate guilds know that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group is already standing with Qingyun Pavilion, they might turn directly to the Liangshan Brotherhood in anger.
So, at the beginning of the battle, Qingyun Pavilion will definitely not appear. As for why they had to appear in the end, it was because of a contract.
Both Qingyun Pavilion and the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group have the responsibility to defend Shuiyun Steel Mine. If the interests of the other party are damaged due to the loss of one party's responsibility, the responsible party must fully compensate the other party for the losses.
Then it is obvious that if Qingyun Pavilion does not stand up in the end and the Shuiyun Steel Mine is occupied by two second-rate guilds, either they will become robbers afterwards, and they will be in vain to provoke the two second-rate guilds and will also bear some public pressure. Or they will compensate the losses of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, and half of the proven reserves of the Shuiyun Steel Mine!
The Song of Everlasting Sorrow once said that this Shuiyun Steel Mine is optional for Qingyun Pavilion. That is because they controlled three minerals at the same time, and he thought that the Shuiyun Steel Mine would not start mining at least one month, and more mines might be excavated in a month, so they regarded it as optional.
If they now become the responsible party of the contract, they need to deliver the value of the mineral output of one thousand people for three or four months at the same time to the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, or half cash and half game coins! This will definitely cause a serious financial crisis to Qingyun Pavilion, and they will definitely not dare to take such risks.
"Poor Song of Everlasting Sorrow, who is not good at calculating me, come and plot against me..."
Lu Chen was still in the castle at this time, and he was basically sure of the ending of the Battle of Wolf Knot.
The Wolf Cave is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the equipment level of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group is very high. Unless there is a senior member in the group who is a spy and is stabbed in the back to kill important figures such as Yuwen Demon God or Ou Yibai, otherwise the two major guilds would have to take at least an hour and pay at least 1,500 people to kill!
With this hour, the Qingyun Pavilion's troops will definitely arrive at the scene. With such a high battle loss ratio, the prestige of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group will not be damaged afterwards, and his foundation can still be preserved.
"Oh..." Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh for the song of Everlasting Sorrow. He was a tragic figure in his previous life, defeated by the strong financial resources of the Tenglong Consortium. He was still a tragic figure in this life. Lu Chen also thought about the ending for him, that was to bow to him and howl: "Let me go, the great god of poisonous wolf!"
Shaking his head, Lu Chen threw away the inexplicable picture in his mind and re-entered himself into exploring the castle.
Angus gave him a five-hour deadline, so he has spent more than three hours now and still has no discovery. He just kept walking through the wall and came to the rooms marked in the map he had seen before.
At present, Lu Chen has discovered some rules, that is, every time he leaves or enters a room, the number of floors will change. The order is [1→2→3→4→3→2→1], with repeated changes, without exception.
In other words, as long as Lu Chen finds a room on the second floor connected to the castle gate, and when he leaves from that room, it happens to be in the order of [2→1], he can leave from the castle gate.
Lu Chen had already seen the only [Second-floor bathroom] connected to the [First-floor Castle Gate] on the map. But the pain was that no matter how he walked, when he arrived at the [Second-floor bathroom], his order of travel was [2→3] every time.
In other words, no matter how he wanders around, he can't enter the [Second-floor bathroom] from the third floor. This seems to involve a math problem, but his math failed!!!
"Ah!" Lu Chen was furious and crazy. Five gold treasure chests were indeed not so easy to get. Do you want him to face a boss with a purple gold weapon alone?!
That's right, Angus is a purple gold boss. This is the rule of the [Survival Game] series of tasks. The grade of the task +1 is the grade of the final boss of the task. Moreover, the boss's level is 5 levels higher than the highest among the players participating in the task!
The task that Chunshen Jun Huang Xie bought was gold-level, so Angus was the boss of the purple gold weapon. Even if Chunshen Jun and Huang Xie did not leave the castle, even if they were all masters of the same level as Lu Chen, the five people could not have been able to fight a boss of the purple gold weapon that was 5th level higher than the highest among the five of them.
"Ah... I went wrong again..."
"The second floor bathroom, what... it's the next step to go up..."
"No! And it's not right!"
What Lu Chen had eaten in his stomach more than three hours ago had almost digested it. At this time, he kept passing through the wall and moving forward, trying nearly fifty different arrangements, but still couldn't find a way to enter the [Second-Floor Bathroom] from the third floor.
"No...is wrong! Even if I can't do math, I've tried various arrangements step by step. I've gone through all possible orders. When I arrived at the [Second Bathroom], I couldn't go down!"
Lu Chen borrowed the system's graffiti tool and drew more than fifty roads on the map screenshots. None of them passed through the [Second-floor Bathroom], and the next destination was on the first floor. Whenever the route passed through this room, he must go up.
So it must be that there is a ghost in this castle, not a problem with his IQ. To understand this, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his IQ was still saved...
"I'm also stupid. It took me three hours to figure it out..." Lu Chen sighed depressedly. In fact, he had only been running for the first hour. He ran and searched after he couldn't run, trying to find more clues. But it was also because of his distraction that he had reacted for so long.
