The term "non-human" does not mean to be derogatory.

  In this vast universe, intelligent races are not unique to humans. Elves, dwarves, giants, orcs, winged people, halflings, dwarves, goblins, scaled people, sea people and other races, as well as countless sub-humans, half-humans, humanoid creatures, and their subspecies, branches, and close relatives, have jointly woven this picture of civilization under the sky.

  And humans, among them, may not even be considered elites, but just ordinary "short-lived races".

  After the apocalypse, many "long-lived races" were extinct or degenerated because they could not adapt to the great changes in the space environment.

  In contrast, those "short-lived races" that reproduce rapidly and frequently update their populations have shown tenacious vitality.

  For example, goblins, a race that was once glorious in ancient times, were once described by pre-civilization files as a barbaric, primitive, greedy, and rude "uncivilized race".

  However, after the apocalypse, they ushered in a racial revival. The huge population, strong reproductive capacity, amazing environmental adaptability, and short life span of twenty years on average, and no more than forty years, made the goblins have an amazing evolutionary speed.

  In terms of adapting to the new era, goblins even surpassed humans, quickly returned to the ranks of "intelligent races", and became a mainstream civilized race.

  Therefore, on the Star Continent, being called "non-human" may not be an insult, but may be a compliment.

  Such as "as handsome as an elf", "as strong as a giant", "as persistent as a dwarf", "as smart as a dwarf", and "as cunning as a goblin", are all words of praise.

  In the eyes of the magicians of the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, the various extraordinary abilities displayed by Jia Lan are indeed beyond the reach of "humans".

  But they prefer to believe that Jia Lan's young appearance is just the childlike innocence of an old magician, who changed his appearance with magic.

  After all, as the leader of a large mercenary group, Captain Kenmet has a unique vision and broad knowledge. In addition, there are magicians stationed in the group, who have a good understanding of magic, unlike low-level mercenaries who are ignorant.

  Therefore, his judgment that Jia Lan has the magic ability of the "Great Magician" realm is not far off, even if it is exaggerated.

  They all know about the Storm Wolf Mercenary Group's station, and some have even witnessed it with their own eyes. That is not a power that a young magician can possess.

  It is also said that Jia Lan is a multi-system magician, and the magic abilities of fire, water, and wind that have been revealed are already amazing.

  According to gossip from the Sabretooth Mercenary Group, Jia Lan once appeared in the Eternal Hammer Auction House as an old man.

  Although it seems to conceal his identity, the magicians are more willing to believe that it is Jia Lan's true face. Only in this way can we explain his "young and promising" ability to master multiple fields such as potions, alchemy, enchantment, identification, fire, water, wind and other magic.

  Considering his apparent age, isn't it too amazing that he has such profound knowledge?

  We have to admit that the magicians' speculation and imagination, from a certain perspective, do touch on a bit of the truth.

  Considering Jia Lan's actual age, he is an "old monster" pretending to be young...

  The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

  In "Dawn Calendar 2014", Jia Lan was in his prime, 20 years old. However, time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is "Apocalypse Calendar 1715".

  If the years when Jia Lan was frozen are also counted, then he is already a 1735-year-old "old man".

  ...

  "Eh? Mr. Jia Lan, are you making some magic props?" The magicians were a little confused, and Captain Kenmet was like a curious kitten, making trouble on the side.

  But Jia Lan was not distracted by this. While he was busy with his work, he casually responded to Captain Kenmet, "These are just some small gadgets that can help us pass through this maze!"

  Jia Lan picked up pieces of silver badges, which flashed with the light of spells such as "Seal of Exploration", "Pointer Spell", and "Ultrasonic Signal Spell". "This 'Exploration Badge' can make thieves more powerful in the maze and find the right path."

  As he said, Jia Lan picked up the disposable badges that were hastily made and said to Captain Kenmet: "Now, I need a group of thieves to draw a map of this maze!"

  In the Golden Two-Headed Dragon Mercenary Group, thieves are naturally indispensable.

  Captain Kenmet quickly summoned a group of thieves, led by the golden thief Hugo and the silver thief Old Jimmy.

  Although most of these thieves were only bronze-level, the task of exploring the way was enough. After all, most of the traps in the Bailong Maze had become ineffective. As long as they were not stupid enough to break into the scrapped traps, their safety was guaranteed.

  Due to time constraints, Jia Lan only made twelve disposable exploration badges, which was far from enough to implement the human wave tactics.

  However, Jia Lan did not intend to rely on manpower to map the maze. He selected twelve experienced thieves from the thieves, including Hugo and Old Jimmy, and distributed the Exploration Seal to them.

  "This badge can temporarily enhance your sense of direction and judgment by two times, helping you to identify the direction in the maze. Moreover, the half-foot-long white light cone emitted from the badge will always point to the exit of the maze."

  Jia Lan showed the silver badge in his hand. Although it looked a little rough, its function was no less impressive. "Do you see this sonic mark above? Press your finger on it and input a little fighting spirit to activate its function and release a silent sound wave..."

  "You need to activate the sonic mark once at every fork and intersection. In addition..."

  After handing the badge to Hugo, Jia Lan took out twelve strange gray thin stone pages and applied "secret marks" on them for positioning.

  "This 'recording stone page' will display the maze map you have explored in real-time. I will update the map information in your hands at any time."

  After distributing the recording stone pages to the thieves, Jia Lan took out twelve crystal mirrors and said seriously: "This is the 'communication mirror'. I will contact you through them and guide you!"

  Not only the thieves but also the magicians on the side were stunned by the magic props in Jia Lan's hand. They never thought that exploring the maze of underground ruins could be so simple.

  The magicians were deeply shocked! Whether it is the "positioning gem" that can project virtual maps, the "recording stone page" that can record information, or the "communication mirror" that can communicate over long distances, they are all sure that this is a magic treasure left over from the "Dawn Age", and it is a complete set of "Dawn Treasures"!

  The magicians looked at Jia Lan with envy and jealousy. They were sure that the magician Jia Lan had more than just the Twilight Treasures. He also had at least one piece of space equipment!

  Although the magicians were full of jealousy, the thieves immediately set out to enter the Bailong Labyrinth after getting the new equipment. This time, they no longer had to be cautious.

  With the help of the Seal of Exploration and the Pointer Technique, the thieves acted quickly. Whenever they encountered a crossroads, the "ultrasonic signal technique" they activated would "draw" a clear map area on the virtual map projected by the positioning gem in the form of sound wave vibrations, and the positioning gem would record it in real-time.

  While Jia Lan stared at the virtual map, he remotely directed the thieves to avoid dead ends and detours through the communication mirror.

  The twelve thieves took almost a straight line and quickly passed through this complex three-layer twelve-link maze.

  The route that had taken most of the day to explore was presented to everyone in less than two hours this time!

  When the thieves had just completed half of their exploration, Jia Lan and Captain Kenmet led the magicians and silver warriors to set off.

  This relic is extremely dangerous, and the thieves' combat power alone may not be enough to cope with the subsequent battles.

  Facts have proved that Jia Lan's foresight is accurate. When the main combat team was about to catch up with the thieves, the thieves who had gathered at the entrance of the maze encountered a fierce battle!

  There is also a secret door at the entrance of the maze, and behind the broken secret door is a wide and strange "cell".

  There are a large number of dark magic rats gathered here, and the number even exceeds the total number they killed in the rat nest!

  But this is not the most surprising thing. The most surprising thing is that in this "cell", there is a terrible beast imprisoned...
