Chapter 727: Is he coming with bad intentions?

"Hey, did Mr. Winged Lion come last night?"

After waking up the next morning, Mashu was a little surprised to hear what happened last night.

Not only that, like Fujimaru Ritsuka, she also found a nightmare under her pillow, which made her understand why she didn't hear any movement. It turned out that she was trapped in the dream woven by the nightmare.

After reacting, she immediately said with shame:

"I'm sorry, senior, I..."

"It's okay!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted her with a smile, and then asked curiously:

"But speaking of it, you didn't seem to have a nightmare last night, did you?"

When it came to this question, Mashu blushed slightly, and answered a little embarrassedly:

"Yeah. On the contrary, I had a happy dream last night."

"Is that so..."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ponder, with a thoughtful expression.

The way the nightmare hunts is to make people have nightmares continuously, and eventually become mentally weak and die, but the nightmare that can make people have beautiful dreams... It seems a little abnormal.

"In other words, there is a higher possibility that someone is behind the scenes controlling it, right?"

Mashu immediately understood her implication, and her expression became serious, nodding in agreement:

"Indeed. In this case, Mr. Winged Lion is indeed a bit suspicious."

"I just don't know why it did this, is it for the magic book? But in this case..."

The other half of the Winged Lion, the magic book that has not been unsealed, is now kept in the hands of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But if you want to unseal the other half, it is best to stay calm and do nothing in the current situation. This behavior is a bit redundant.

"——It came to find me."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the corner of the room, and they also reacted that there was another person in the room besides them, so they turned their heads to look at where Hisel was.

Perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, Hisel had thick dark circles under his eyes, and his face was also visibly tired, but now Hisel seems to be a lot calmer than yesterday.

Hearing her words, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously:

"Is it to kill people to silence them? Do you have any evidence against him?"

"I don't know, maybe."

Hisel's eyes gradually drifted away, and he murmured in a trance:

"But I dreamed of some things in the past last night."

He remembered the quarrel between Yaad's father, Iodio and him.

At that time, he was angry and separated the other party's soul from his body to punish him, but afterwards he forgot to put the other party's soul back into his body until the other party's body disappeared, including his and Delgaru's wife.

He also remembered that Delgaru had expressed his hope to return to the ground more than once.

But after each discussion, he would always forget their conversation completely, so such scenes were staged again and again, and ended in vain again and again, until the last discussion ended, Delgaru's soul disappeared.

But why did he forget these things?

"...It's the winged lion."

When the winged lion was mentioned again, Hisil's eyes revealed the familiar hatred and anger, and he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"I thought it would be fine if it was sealed, but I didn't expect it to have such a method... Damn guy...!"

However, unlike last night, he quickly calmed down again, and then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu and said:

"Where did you put the magic book that has not been unsealed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he paused and explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to remind you that although I sealed the winged lion, it can still mobilize its own power and affect those who come into contact with it."

"If you don't want to become like me, you'd better be careful."

At this point, his tone was a bit self-deprecating.

If it weren't for the failure this time, the magic book he carried with him was taken away, he might not have discovered the winged lion's method until his death.

"Is that so?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, then smiled:

"Thank you for the reminder. But don't worry, it's kept in a 'safe' place."

While speaking, she touched the lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist. No matter what, it wouldn't have any impact across a space, right?

Hearing her say this, Hisel said no more, and continued:

"It seems that you have also noticed that there is something wrong with the winged lion."

"So, how about we talk about it?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other with a little surprise. They didn't expect the positions of both parties to be reversed, and the other party took the initiative to seek a conversation with them.

But this was originally a situation they were happy to see, so Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately nodded and smiled:

"Of course."

However, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the window. The three of them immediately turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw a crow that flew from nowhere and stood on the windowsill.

"Raven..."

Are there crows in this place too?

Another hundred years later, Hisil's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"That's someone else's familiar. Others have also come to this floor."

"Familiar? Others?"

Mashu said in surprise:

"Could it be that there are other adventurer teams that have successfully arrived here?"

However, except for this exception, the original top adventurer team had just explored the entrance to the seventh underground floor, and now a team that can explore here suddenly appeared, and it always feels a little wrong.

At this time, Hisel seemed to think of something and pondered:

"No, it may be the Western Elves' troops."

"Not long ago, I fought with one of them on the upper floor. That person is very powerful."

"Western Elves?"

As one of the two overlords of this world, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little curious about their arrival, and didn't know why they came here at this time.

But now the information from Hisel is also very important...

Mashu noticed her hesitation and said with a smile:

"Seniors, please continue chatting. I will go and inform Mr. Laos and the others to find out about the other party's situation."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hesitate and nodded decisively:

"Be careful."

"Yeah."

After watching Mashu leave the room, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Hisel again and said with a smile:

"Then Mr. Hisel, can I ask you a few questions first?"

——

"Western elves?!"

Hearing the news brought by Mashu, everyone became nervous. Chilchak said with a somewhat ugly face:

"Suddenly I have a bad feeling..."

"Could it be that they discovered that we used black magic and came to arrest us?!"

"Shouldn't it?"

Malucil said with a guilty conscience:

"Even if someone among Julang and the others informed on us, they couldn't have acted so quickly."

"That's right..."

"--It should be the [Canary]."

The figure of the Winged Lion suddenly appeared and explained to everyone:

"That's the Western elves' special force responsible for handling maze-related incidents. Once they appear, they will monopolize the maze and drive everyone else out."

"What? Why are they so domineering?!"

Malucil shouted indignantly, making others look at her with a strange look.

Winged Lion replied calmly:

"They are the strongest in the world, no one dares to do anything to them."

On the other side, Laos said thoughtfully:

"Winged Lion, you said to be careful of [Canary] before, are you referring to them?"

"Yes."

Winged Lion nodded:

"Anyway, you should be careful. You have done so many things. If the other party accidentally finds out, you may be taken away and imprisoned."

Falin said with some embarrassment:

"So, can we only lie to fool them?"

"This is the only way for now."
