Meet the principal

"Are you...Phyllis's maid?"

Reiner quickly remembered the identity of the other party, and even though he was confused, he still did not relax his vigilance.

Because he had personally seen the other party pull out hundreds of spears and cannons from the void, kill the violent Chaos Snake cadres with one blow, and then escape under the eyes of the high-level mage, but Reiner couldn't see her at all. What exactly is the principle of magic?

However, it seems that she, like Reiner, cannot use magic due to the characteristics of the dead zone, and is not even as capable as Reiner, who has a strong body.

"Sure, you can call me Helleson."

Maid, Hellaison was calm and composed, even in such an awkward posture.

"Why are you here, where's Phyllis?"

Reiner continued to ask. It had been several months since we left Aunt Celia's mansion. Apart from the news that his second brother Hyrule's business had been frustrated, he had no news about his other eldest brother Raven and sister Phyllis. I don’t know where he is wandering, but now that Hellaison is here, it means that Phyllis is not too far away.

"I'm here for the same reason as you, Master Reiner. We're all trapped in a claustrophobic space."

Hellaison replied, looking like she had no intention of hiding anything from Reiner.

"Claustrophobic space?"

Reiner glanced around. This should be a dead zone with weak magic power. Why is it called a claustrophobic space?

"Definitely, the claustrophobic space is a cage of time and space. During the ancient magic empire, it was used to imprison the most heinous criminals."

Hellaison's explanation made Reiner think a little. This place is indeed very much like a prison. The confusion just now was answered a little bit, and Reiner relaxed his guard a little.

As for the entrance and exit of the so-called claustrophobic space, Reiner believes that it has something to do with the black pillar made of special material. He just doesn't know what the situation of the other gentlemen is now. Is it only Reiner who is trapped, or everyone is trapped? Being trapped, as well as the figure that appeared at the end, the familiarity in it made Reiner unable to let go. These were all elements of instability.

"Going back to the original question, what are you doing here? This should be the central area of ​​a certain ruins. Are you related to things outside the ruins?"

Reiner spoke very vaguely to try to trick Hlaison.

He was not unprepared just because Hellaison answered all questions. He still believed that there was a possibility that Hellaison was lying.

"Lady Phyllis and I entered the ruins to explore, and saw a special black pillar. As a result, the trap was triggered and we were imprisoned here. Lady Phyllis and I were separated, and we are looking for her whereabouts."

Hellaison answered in a straight-forward manner, without evading anything.

"The storm outside the ruins should be our traveler's method. In order to prevent others from exploring deeply, he created a layer of barriers."

"Your fellow travelers?"

Reiner frowned slightly and continued to ask.

"Definitely, Lato Rex, he created that storm."

Hearing this name, Reiner recalled it for a moment before suddenly remembering,

This is none other than a member of the Chaos Serpent, codenamed "Greed", who is wanted across the continent.

According to the information Reiner obtained, this was a sixth-ring mage, but what he saw outside was far beyond the control of a sixth-ring mage. Either Lato had an opportunity while he was wanted, He had been promoted to a high level, or he had received certain gifts as a leader of the Serpent of Chaos.

The Serpent of Chaos possesses many legacies of the ancient magic empire, such as the storage bag that connects to the unstable demiplane that is now Reiner's possession, so it is possible for a sixth-ring mage to possess beyond-level strength.

Reiner even guessed that the black mist storm and the giant beast in it might be the treasure that Lato obtained in the Serpent of Chaos.

"So this Lato is also separated from you?"

Reiner asked, so it seems that this claustrophobic space is open to all comers, but he did not expect that his sister Phyllis would mix with the Chaos Snake, which surprised him.

"definitely."

Hellaison replied, but he didn't know if it was Reiner's illusion. He felt that there seemed to be a little wave in the cold maid's voice.

"What are you looking for in this ruins?"

Reiner suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to ask. I have to say that the communication with Hellaison was quite pleasant. Reiner did not need to think too much, he only had to speak out the questions he wanted to know.

However, Reiner was not very sure about this question. After all, no normal person would be able to tell his purpose so casually. Even if Hellaison seemed to know everything about the answer, he should not be so imprudent.

"Looking for a box, Master Reiner. This box contains the power to defeat the current world."

Hellaison's answer silenced Reiner.

Putting aside the authenticity, if there really was such a box that could destroy the entire world, then he felt that there shouldn't be any records. After all, the experiment alone might leave many traces.

So he prefers to understand it as something else.

"Is this box in a confined space?"

Since this is a prison in the past, maybe some powerful mages will leave some information. It is also possible that this box is the result of these mages. Reiner guessed that it is even possible that this box is just a design drawing with theories. The power above has not yet been created.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a possibility. In prison, the mages could not exert their strength, but their wisdom was not compromised at all. Although many prisoners combined could not break through the prison, they could design some A special spell, and the Snake of Chaos came here only after getting the relevant information.

As for why her sister appeared here, she could only ask the maid under Reiner.

"Phyllis, why...huh? What's wrong with you?"

Reiner was about to inquire about his sister's information, but he felt that the maid beneath him was rapidly weakening. The body temperature transmitted through her clothes was like ice, which was terrifying.

After letting go of the other party's hand, Reiner asked him to turn around and saw Hellaison's face was pale, and his pupils seemed to have lost their light and dimmed rapidly.

"The magic power...is insufficient and will...stop..."

Her words no longer remained calm, but shivered, became smaller, and finally became undetectable.

"what's the situation?"

Reiner mobilized his magic power with some difficulty. He grabbed the opponent's wrist and penetrated the other person's wrist with traces of magic power to check the opponent's physical condition.

However, at this time, Reiner suddenly realized.

The girl in his arms is not human!
