Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

The boy gave each of them an item to carry with them, and then began to lead them to the village where they lived.

On the way, with the boy's introduction, they finally got a general understanding of the situation here -

This is a space specially created for them by Hisser, the Lord of the Labyrinth. The people living here are all residents of the Golden Kingdom, including Yaad who they are about to meet.

As they were talking, they finally entered the village, and the scene before them once again surprised them all—

On both sides of the farmhouse, the chicken coops that should have been used to raise chickens were actually filled with snake-tailed chickens. There were also magic wolves surrounding the villagers with rice ears in their mouths. The scene of humans and monsters living in harmony made everyone feel a little unbelievable.

Laos looked at the unicorn leading the carriage and asked with some confusion:

"Why are the monsters here so peaceful?"

The boy replied:

"Because they were ordered by Hisser not to harm us, but it's hard to say for people coming from outside. So we must take things from the village."

Everyone suddenly understood why the other party did this.

Taking in the situation along the way in the village, Malucier couldn't help but sigh:

"Can the Lord of the Labyrinth actually do something like this? It would be great if the entire labyrinth could become like this."

One of her research goals is to create a harmless maze in which to breed monsters that are beneficial to society, and the current situation is undoubtedly a good reference for her.

At the same time, hearing her say this, the boy replied:

"There was indeed a period in the Golden Kingdom where humans and monsters coexisted peacefully. That was when the Golden Kingdom was at its most prosperous, and Hisil had not yet fallen into madness."

"However, that happened before I can remember anything, and I heard about it from my elders."

"A kingdom where humans and monsters coexist peacefully..."

Everyone was a little surprised, but just as they continued to ask questions, they heard the other party say:

"We're here. Wait for me!"

They stopped in front of an ordinary thatched-roof farmhouse. Outside the house, a young girl was hanging clothes. When she saw the boy coming, she said:

"The master just went out."

"Have you gone out yet?"

The boy was a little surprised when he heard this, but he still came to the girl and gestured to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others:

"That's them."

"Eh?!"

The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and quickly looked at them again, only to notice that the people in front of her were indeed strangers she had never seen before.

At the same time, other villagers who had noticed them in the carriage also arrived here one after another, looking at them curiously and whispering to each other.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka soon noticed that the villagers were almost all young people, and there were no elderly people to be seen.

"Sorry, the master is out."

The boy looked at them, scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"I'll go call him right away. You can wander around the village for the time being. It's been a long time since we've seen outsiders. This is a rare opportunity, and we all want to entertain you."

“Where should I take them to visit?”

"There doesn't seem to be anything to see in the village..."

"But if I really want to say it..."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers started to discuss with great interest. At this time, Laos also said excitedly:

"I want to visit a place where monsters are raised!"

Falin raised her hand with interest and said:

"Me too!"

Senxi also spoke immediately:

"I want to visit the fields I saw on the road!" "I'm talking to you guys..."

Looking at the three people who were as excited as children, Chilchak was speechless, while Ma Zuimu, who was clinging to Malucier, said helplessly:

"I'll just stay here. It's inconvenient to move around with her anyway."

Chilchak, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu also chose to stay. Chilchak was too lazy to run around, while Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others also had things they wanted to do.

The two of them came to the girl hanging clothes, and Fujimaru Ritsuka asked with a smile:

"We want to know something about the Golden Kingdom and this village. Could you please explain it to us?"

The girl was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still nodded and said:

"Of course, anything I know."

Maluciere and Chilchak had nothing to do, so when they heard their conversation, they followed them into the house and joined in the conversation.

The girl didn't know much about the situation in the Golden Kingdom.

In fact, for most of the villagers living here today, the Golden Kingdom has been turned into a maze by Hisser since they can remember, and they have spent most of their lives in this small village.

Most of their memories about the Golden Kingdom come from the fragments of stories told to them by their elders.

"Wait a moment,"

Chilchak suddenly realized something and said in disbelief:

"Does that mean all of you have lived for at least a thousand years?!"

"Yes."

The girl nodded.

Thistle cursed all of them with immortality, causing them to live from a thousand years ago to the present.

During this thousand years, the villagers could no longer endure the eternal boredom of the village and chose to flee to the outside world. Their bodies were destroyed and they became ghosts wandering in the maze, including His Majesty King Delga.

Only young children like them have lived here since they can remember and have never experienced anything in the outside world personally, so they can barely endure the loneliness and have persisted until now.

This also explains why the village is full of young people.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Chilchak and Maluciere both had mixed feelings, but their ideas were completely different.

The average lifespan of a halfling is only fifty years, and Chilchak finds it hard to imagine what it would be like to live for a thousand years. The average lifespan of an elf is four hundred years, and what she was thinking about was what she would do better if she were Hissel.

At this time, Mashu asked with some doubt:

"Hissle, why did he do this?"

"We don't know either. As far as we can remember, the other party has been unable to communicate normally."

The girl shook her head and continued:

"But I heard from the adults that he originally just wanted to protect the country. But it seems that the assassination of His Majesty Delga's father stimulated him and made him start to delve into black magic, and eventually fell into madness."

"—!"

After saying this, Chilchak couldn't help but look at Malucil beside him. Noticing his gaze, Malucil angrily said:

"I study ancient magic! As long as you behave yourself and don't do anything dangerous, this won't happen!"

"So you also admit that the other party used ancient magic 'dangerously' and that's why he became like this, right?"

"Forehead……"

Malucier's momentum instantly fell, but she still muttered in defense:

"Even without ancient magic, people with such dangerous ideas would end up in the same situation."

"So what do you think?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked the girl:

"After Hisil is defeated, the curse on you will be lifted. In the optimistic scenario, perhaps you will just start growing again until you age normally and die; but in the worst case scenario..."

Perhaps they would turn into dust the moment the curse was lifted.
