<h4>Chapter 364 - Buckshawn State</h4>


    The group arrived in the city called Buckshawn State. It was a huge city under the territory of the Gyunar Republic.


    This city couldn’t be less than the Granmr City.


    Why?


    Because of the hundreds of Mercenary Guilds in this city. Most of the Mercenaries’ headquarters were situated in this city. It earned its nickname as "The Base of the Mercenaries".


    Almost half of the people that were living in this ce were mercenaries. That’s why this city could match the capital of the Gyunar Republic, the Granmr.


    The mercenary guilds in this ce were extraordinary. They were at the top powerhouses in the world.


    In short, Souta and Alice could find all sorts of things in this ce. Since it could rival the capital, maybe they could find an intel in this ce that they could only find in the capital.


    "Why are mercenaries staying in this city?" Souta asked Gyun who was standing beside him.


    They were in a line to enter the city. Since they’ve exined their circ.u.mstances to Gyun’s group, they could understand the two of them why they don’t have an Identification Card.


    An identification Card was needed if someone wanted to enter a big city. It will be hard to enter a city if a person doesn’t have one.


    So Gyun rmended that they should register in the Mercenary Agency as mercenary. That way they would have a card to prove their identities.


    It was easy to register so they don’t have a problem with it.


    "Well, mercenaries could easily find work in this ce," Gyun answered his question.


    "What do you mean by that?" Souta was confused as he could understand why mercenaries could easily find a job in this ce.


    From his understanding, the mercenaries of this world were the same as the adventurers back in Imperium.


    "Have you heard the terms livingbyrinth?" Gyun asked him.


    "...what...?!" Souta opened his eyes widely when he heard Gyun’s question.


    ’Livingbyrinth...? It can’t be...’ Even Saya couldn’t hide her shock as she perhaps realized what Gyun was talking about.


    "Can you exin it to me?" Souta asked Gyun.


    Gyun nodded and he slowly exined the livingbyrinth to Souta. At the end of the exnation, the livingbyrinth was the same as the one that Souta knew.


    It has the same description as the Great Labyrinth. The Great Labyrinth was situated in the southeast of True God’s Holy Kingdom and northeast of Rhent Country. There were hundreds of livingbyrinth in Imperium but the greatest of all was the Great Labyrinth near the True God’s Holy Kingdom as no one managed to conquer it.


    Living Labyrinth as the name it suggested, thisbyrinth was like a living being. This type ofbyrinth was created by a god-level powerhouse to leave their legacy for future generations.


    It depends on the god if they will leave a livingbyrinth behind or not but most of the gods leave abyrinth before they died. Anyone can enter this type ofbyrinth but anyone who died inside it will be consumed by thebyrinth.


    The more people died, the stronger thebyrinth gets.


    The one who cleared it will receive the god’s legacy.


    Souta didn’t know any more than this. He wasn’t a god and this knowledge wasn’t circted publicly. He only learned about this when he became themander of the mechanic army in the game. The other yers were oblivious to this information.


    But the minimum requirement to cleared the weakest livingbyrinth was S-rank. People wouldn’t be able to clear thest floor of thebyrinth without the power of an S-rank. If they weren’t S-rank, then they were only seeking death by trying to clear the livingbyrinth.


    Souta rubbed his chin as he recalled the livingbyrinth that he cleared in the game. The one reason why he didn’t try to clear thosebyrinths was that he was too weak. Even his current strength wasn’t enough to clear thebyrinth that he cleared in the game.


    Souta nced at Gyun and asked, "This livingbyrinth... when did the people of this ce found it?"


    "Hmm...? Around a thousand years ago... From what I’ve heard the Buckshawn State was still gone at that time so there’s a possibility that the livingbyrinth dated back longer than what was written in the books." Gyun answered him.


    "I see..." Souta nodded. If that’s the case, then this livingbyrinth wasn’t ordinary. Countless creatures must’ve died inside it and the creatures that thebyrinth produced be powerful.


    ...


    The group finally entered the Buckshawn State. This city was the only city with a livingbyrinth below it. It was famous throughout the entire continent so a lot of people were visiting this ce.


    Gyun’s group visited this ce in the past so they experience a lot of things this city could offer.


    They found that there was a festival the next day so Souta asked Gyun if they have something to do. Gyun and hisrades replied by saying that they weren’t busy and they weren’t rushing towards the Granmr so they could stay here for a few days.


    Souta wanted to experience the festival of this city. He wanted to tell about it to Lumilia and the rest who was in the other world. If there’s not a problem he wanted to explore this universe with them.


    First, they went out to find an inn. After that, Souta and Alice left the group to see what this city could offer to travelers like them.


    ’You should mark this ce. After you’ve grown stronger you cane back and cleared the livingbyrinth so that you could gain the legacy of the god.’ Saya’s voice sounded in his mind.


    ’Well, that’s true. With my strength, I wouldn’t be able to clear thisbyrinth. Even if I work together with Yuko and Alive.’ Souta replied to her.


    A god’s legacy. Other gods would want to get a hold of this treasure. Anyone could enter this ce and god would have a high possibility of clearing thebyrinth. Especially, if the god was stronger than the one who created thebyrinth.


    Anyone could enter thebyrinth. This was the reason why most of the livingbyrinth in the Imperium was cleared.


    Souta, Alice, and Yuko arrived in front of the livingbyrinth.


    In front of them was a huge hole with a diameter of thirty meters. There were stairs at the side that lead underground. Various stalls stood at the side of the floor and a three-storey building was built beside each stair of the huge hole.


    These buildings were from the mercenary agency. They were the ones who handled the people who entered and exited thebyrinth. They were also the ones who prevented people from recklessly entering thebyrinth.


    Souta could see a lot of people going down thebyrinth. All of them were mercenaries. They were one of the people that were permitted to enter so Souta, Alice, and Yuko wouldn’t have any problem entering this ce as they were mercenaries.


    "Thisbyrinth has a lot of strong monsters..." Alicemented from the side.


    "Yes, the mana from it gives off a dangerous vibe." Souta nced at her before he replied.


    The cold aura was enveloping the whole ce. Judging from the people’s expressions, it seems that they couldn’t feel it. They were oblivious to the powerful creatures underground.


    The people here were still discovering the depths of thebyrinth. Currently, they’ve only gone to the thirty-fifth floor of thebyrinth. The top guilds were the ones responsible for exploring thebyrinth. The other mercenaries only go down to hunt some monster and earn money.


    Hunting monster only the livingbyrinth was different. The monster down was from thebyrinth. If they died they only turned into dust leaving only a stone filled with mana.


    The livingbyrinth could create various creatures. They could even create humans and demis but all the creatures that came from thebyrinth could leave the ce. Throughout the time, some of them gained intelligence and protected thebyrinth as they know that if someone cleared it all of them would die.


    After observing thebyrinth for a while, Souta decided to go back.


    "Let’s go, we have a few days here so we will not miss entering thatbyrinth," Souta said as he turned around.


    "Yeah, there’s the festival too." Alice gave thebyrinth one more nce before she followed Souta.


    She saw several livingbyrinths in her homnd but this one different. Since no one cleared it for a very long time, thisbyrinth must have birthed countless powerful creatures.


    "Yeah, I wanted to taste the delicacy in this world..." Souta said as he ced his hand in his pocket. ’Well, I should look around if there are brothels in this ce. It’s been a long time since I did it.’ He thought.
