Book 3: Chapter 7
『The labyrinth enters and controls people’s hearts』
It was so written in the documents provided by the Adventurer’s Guild. The labyrinths, each with a name of an emotion, seem to “dominate” that specific emotion.
When we first entered the Empire, they handed a bracelet with GPS to confirm the wearer’s emotions. If that bracelet glows red, it seems to mean “needs special attention”. This is because the wearer seems to be one step before their emotions run wild and their mind breaks.
The way those emotions are controlled depends on the labyrinth. Such as those that activate traps, those that affect you before you can even notice, places where you cannot pass unless you forcibly activate those emotions, etc.
「It’s surprisingly beautiful…」
My first impression was that it was surprisingly wide and orderly. You can see that the walls are smooth and cemented. The passage, where three to four people can walk through at the same time, has a slight luminance — which is also a characteristic of a “dungeon”. When I checked with【World Ruler】, I found that a small amount of mana was circulating.
However, the brightness was still lacking, so the magic lamp was still on.
(Speaking of which, it was only as bright as this back at Sixth Mine. It doesn’t bother me now since I have【Night Vision】….but, at that time, I thought “It is what it is”.)
That’s because, when I complained that it was dark, Lark replied “It is what it is”. Lark had sort of a philosophical view for a 13-year-old child at the time.
