Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Ahem! Ahem...!"

Kabul suddenly started coughing violently and woke up suddenly. He propped himself up from the ground and looked at his companions lying on the ground with a blank expression. His mind was still a little confused and he didn't understand what was going on.

"All right!"

At this moment, hearing a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Kabul turned his head and looked. After discovering the figures of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu holding magic wands, he couldn't help but be stunned again.

Is it them… ?

Why are they here?

Seeing Kabul wake up, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to perform recovery magic on his companions. At the same time, Mash asked Kabul with concern:

"Mr. Kabul, do you remember what happened to you?"

"us……"

Kabul unconsciously held his head and fell into memories.

After they had struggled through the third underground floor, they finally broke through the progress of their previous exploration and arrived at the fourth underground floor.

They had just arrived at the fourth underground floor and had just won a battle against a small group of zombies. Luckily, they found a treasure chest in the arms of a zombie. After opening it, they discovered that it was truly filled with gold, silver and other treasures!

So they planned to stop there for the time being and prepare to return to the ground with the treasure, and then their memory suddenly jumped to the present.

For unknown reasons, they were wiped out, and were then met and rescued by Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

"We are, being wiped out...?"

Lin Xia and other companions who had just woken up were also very confused. However, at this moment, the dwarf Dai Ya subconsciously touched her neck, then woke up instantly and shouted in panic:

"My necklace is gone!"

"?!"x5

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others, including Kabul, changed instantly, and they hurriedly began to search their bodies.

"My gold coins are gone too!"

"And my gems too...!"

Everyone's faces turned ugly, but what was strange was that only the treasure they found in the treasure chest disappeared, and the money they had on them was not lost at all.

Kabul maintained a calm expression and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others:

"We lost some stuff, did you notice anything?"

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, then shook their heads and said:

"We didn't notice anything special. But come to think of it, you were all placed neatly against the wall. This situation must have been man-made, right?"

"Um……"

Kabul lowered his head and pondered. Although the island owner had stipulated that adventurers were not allowed to fight with each other, many adventurers were risk-takers and it was normal for them to kill and rob for treasure.

As for whether the two people in front of me directed and acted in it themselves...

This was the first option he ruled out.

After all, they had long speculated that their family should be quite wealthy. Even if the treasure they found was a considerable sum, it would not be worth it for them to do this.

In comparison, he was more concerned about how the two of them had come all the way here. And judging from their state, they even seemed to be able to do it with ease.

It would be difficult to get here by sheer force alone.

Because different methods are often needed to deal with different monsters, which requires not only great strength, but also rich experience or knowledge, as well as a variety of attack methods, and the ability to identify traps along the way, as well as various unpredictable unexpected situations...

Precisely because there are so many difficulties and the power of one person is limited, we need to rely on the power of the group to form a team of adventurers who trust and support each other.

Therefore, the appearance of Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu here made him feel a little unbelievable.

However, compared to exploring the secrets of the two people, their treasure is more important at the moment. At this moment, Lin Xia suddenly made a new discovery -

"hair……?"

She looked at the golden hair tied around her wrist, observed it carefully for a while, and said to everyone:

"It's been cast with an exorcism spell. It should have been left by the last wave of people who came into contact with us."

Not only her, but everyone of them had such hair on their wrists. The dog-headed man Xiao Hei came close to her and sniffed, then said with certainty:

"It's the smell of elves."

Then, he sniffed everyone one by one, including the ground nearby, and soon made more discoveries -

"Talllings... Halflings... Dwarves..."

“It seems they even had dinner here.”

"Hey, eating?"

The goblin Holm found it a little unbelievable. Belmick cursed:

"They're not in their right minds, are they?!"

After robbing them of their treasures, you still want to eat beside them?

Anyway, it seems that there is a clue to the criminal. Kabul's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but when he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, he smiled again and thanked them sincerely:

"Thank you so much for coming to the rescue!"

Having said this, Kabul took off the purse from his waist and handed it to Fujimaru Ritsuka, hoping that they would accept it.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not accept it, but smiled and said:

"This time, consider it as a return gift for your reminder to us, Mr. Kabul."

"……All right."

Kabul was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly took back the purse, and then smiled:

"It's a pity that we still have things to do now. If possible, when we meet next time, can you at least allow me to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude?"

"certainly,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and smiled:

"If you want to treat me to a meal, I won't hesitate!"

"Then it's settled."

After saying that, Kabul turned to look at his companions, his expression became serious again, and he made a prompt decision:

"We can't just let them go like this, let's chase them!"

"Of course!"

After watching them leave in a rage, Mashu smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Then, Senior, let's continue on our journey."

"Um……"

However, at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was a little shy. She shyly tapped her fingers and said:

"Look, they all found the treasure chest... so otherwise..."

"Hold on a little longer?"

-

Perhaps it was God who paid off his efforts. After persisting for half a day, they really found a treasure chest. But there was also good news and bad news -

Good news, there are indeed gold coins in the treasure chest;

Bad news, but more treasure bugs.

Treasure bugs are a general term for a series of monsters that mimic gold, silver and treasures, including coin-shaped coin bugs and pearl necklace-shaped pearl centipedes. They are also considered a type of treasure chest monster.

In the "Monster Gourmet Guide", it is mentioned that the treasure bug is also an edible monster. Moreover, because of its cute appearance, it is also very popular in the outside world and can be sold at a good price.

However, although the appearance of the treasure insects is indeed very pleasing, they do not seem to be very appetizing as food, so they did not cook them immediately, but put them into the [Minister's Treasure] first.

"Um……"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's face was tangled, and he finally said reluctantly:

"Anyway, we have successfully achieved our goal, right?"

So after a night's rest, it was the sixth day of exploring the maze, and the two finally set out again, heading deeper into the fifth underground floor.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they arrived at the courtyard area outside the Golden City, they actually ran into an acquaintance again -

For unknown reasons, Kabul's team was wiped out once again.
