Mystic Dominator

Getting to Falso's Secret Stronghold is easy.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man who was an insider, Ronald and the two of them did not even need to pass the test of the maze, and were taken directly to a room in the guild hall.

As a comprehensive business place, there are a large number of separate rooms in the Wanderers Club. Most of them are used as independent offices for business operators, or they may also be used as warehouses or even temporary residences.

Ronald and Patricia were brought to such an independent office by the middle-aged man.

"This is it." Standing in front of the office, the middle-aged man took the initiative to introduce the two of them, "This is Mr. Falso's office. Normally we would never go in."

"So if you really want to go in, then it's up to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man looked around. He didn't even want to be seen here.

So after confirming the situation, he took the initiative to walk away:

"Anyway, I'll wait for you outside, that's all."

"..."

Ronald and Patricia naturally had no objections.

When the middle-aged man left, they reached out and pushed the door open, ready to take a look at the situation in Falso's office.

Katsa——

The door opens normally, revealing the space behind it.

In the world of maze picture books, the concept of "door" is divided into three types, [completely sealed decoration], [passage for free entry and exit], [requires completion of specific conditions to pass].

The door here can now be opened normally, which basically means it won't be some pointless place.

Ronald walked in first and saw a strange figure squatting here. But it was this glance that made Ronald's originally anxious state of mind become more subtle.

"..."

The figure in the room is a half-human, half-lion girl.

When it noticed Ronald entering the room, it naturally turned its head to look at him, preparing to pose its test.

The next second their eyes met,

The air becomes solid.

To put it into detail, this is the third time Ronald has taken on the challenge of the maze picture book world, and it is also the third time he has encountered the Sphinx.

This classic species in the maze obviously still remembers its previous encounter with Ronald, so after looking at each other for the first few seconds, its girlish face immediately became filled with tears:

"Why is it you again?!"

Ronald didn't know how to respond, so he could only raise his hand and say hello:

"Um...Long time no see?"

"..."

"The things are in the drawer, you can get them yourself!"

Ronald was still thinking about how to deal with this maze monster, but who knows, the other party responded faster.

The Sphinx only left this sentence without mentioning any riddle test, and directly opened the window of the office facing outside, then jumped out without looking back.

This... no need to answer the question?

Ronald was speechless for a moment.

Patricia from behind came forward, saw this scene, and asked in the same tone of confusion:

"Ronald, it...did it escape?"

"Maybe it was not a good experience before, right?" Ronald scratched his hair, "But now that it ran away on its own initiative, that should be considered a good thing for us?"

"..."

Patricia shrugged, obviously helpless about this situation.

Then the swordsman girl took the initiative to walk to the table the Sphinx was talking about, and then reached out and opened the drawer.

Wow——

The contents of the drawer are quite dull, except for a notebook lying quietly here.

Patricia picked it up and opened it to look at it, her eyes quickly changing from curiosity to surprise and joy.

"Ronald, come and take a look!"

Ronald stepped forward and looked with Patricia at the [Work Notes], which could only be obtained normally after solving the Sphinx.

The black cover is extremely plain, and the content on the page is also very simple.

- But it is indeed a treasure.

Especially because now Ronald and the other two have obtained this notebook, so its function is to help them in their work.

[Search target progress: 3/10]

[Baplor - Completed. 】

【Hero Yins——Completed. 】

[Patricia - Completed. 】

[Shesta - not finished. 】

[Diane——Unfinished. 】

【Mison——Unfinished. 】

[Solfa - Unfinished. 】

[Constance - Unfinished. 】

[Brize - unfinished. 】

[Gwendoline - not/completed? 】

"..."

"Great, we came at the right time this time!"

Ronald's mood immediately brightened.

Because on the note, in addition to clearly arranging the targets he needs to find, behind the name that says "Unfinished", there are also flexible arrows marking the approximate location of the opponent.

Just like my previous experience in the maze picture book world.

These props, which can only be obtained through trials, can play a very important and decisive role in this world!

For Ronald now, with this key prop, he seems to have a radar that can explore the target.

It is far from comparable to the previous exploration like a blind man touching an elephant!

"Ronald, Gwendolen's name is on it too."

Just as Ronald's mood improved, Patricia also pointed to the message above and said:

"And her status is different from others, with [Un/Completed?] written on it."

Ronald also knew this was an important clue:

"If you think about it carefully, the condition of this game is indeed to find the main characters who were in the banquet hall at that time. There is no problem for Gwendolyn to include herself among them. It's just that this [is not/has been completed?]..."

Having said this, Ronald shook his head slightly:

"This thing is probably this guy's bad taste."

"At the last moment, if I haven't met the goal of this game, she will most likely jump out with this reason to test my humanity."

Patricia thought about Gwendolyn's performance and agreed with Ronald's judgment, so she expressed her agreement in a strong tone:

"That kind of guy's 'heart' really makes people uncomfortable. He is a guy who would do this kind of behavior. You have to be careful in the future."

"..."

Ronald and Patricia chatted briefly.

After confirming that there were no other special items in the office, they prepared to leave the Wanderers Club, and then follow the new information provided in the [Work Notes] to find the next target.

As a result, just when they were about to go out, unexpected changes appeared in front of them.

Ronald, who held the [Work Notes] in his hand, saw an astonishing change. ——On the page of the notes, the string [Constance—is unfinished. ] words.

Suddenly it became [Constance - Completed. 】Looks like!
