Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

Chapter 716: The Fallen Adult Man

First he was the new king of the Golden Kingdom, and then he was the new master of the maze... If they really defeated the mad magician, then there would be no doubt that Fujimaru Ritsuka would become the true master of this land.

Such a development was indeed unexpected for them, but by then the Western elves, including the dwarf and goblin alliance, might react, and it was foreseeable that there would be a lot of trouble.

Of course, saying all this now sounds a bit too far-fetched. Right now, everyone is more curious about Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He possesses powerful strength at such a young age, and may even become the king and the lord of the maze. Such legendary deeds make people want to know what kind of person he is and what kind of past and experiences he has.

However, although they were curious, they did not ask directly, because it was an unwritten rule among adventurers not to pry into other people's private lives.

For example, their team, because Chilchak cares a lot about this kind of thing and separates work and life, they basically never take the initiative to talk about their past, and they are not very clear about the actual situation of other teammates.

So they were very surprised when Chilchak took the initiative to confess his situation.

Back to the point.

"But what does the other party mean by 'beware of the canary'?"

A canary is a bird, but the 'canary' here should obviously be more like a code name for a person or organization.

Leos held his chin in his hand and pondered. He searched his memory carefully but found no useful information. So he looked at everyone and said:

"Does anyone know what a 'canary' is?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu also looked at them, but what they didn't expect was that when faced with this question, everyone shook their heads in unison, indicating that they had no impression of this name.

Even the locals in this world have never heard of him. It seems that the other party's origins are definitely not simple.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka spread his hands and said with a smile:

"In this case, it seems that we can only take it one step at a time."

"Anyway, let's keep going."

……

Although it was an unwritten rule not to pry into other people's private lives, after Chilchak chose to take the initiative to expose himself, Maluciere couldn't help but become restless and her gossipy heart began to burn.

"I said, I said..."

As they walked along the road, Malucier circled around Chilchak like a fly, asking curiously:

"What kind of person is your wife? Is she cute or pretty? What do you like about her? How did you meet? How did you propose? You..."

Others were also somewhat curious about this, especially Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

Although they had known about the characteristics of the halfling race beforehand, it was still a bit shocking to see a young girl of twelve or thirteen years old saying with her own eyes that she was married and had three daughters.

But at this moment, everyone kept silent tacitly, because facing Malucil's incessant harassment, Chilchak's expression was visibly becoming irritated, and he seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chilchak finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted angrily:

"——Shut up, you're being too noisy!!"

"I told you, I'm done with that guy now because I cheated on him! So don't mention her to me anymore!!!"

"—"

Faced with the sudden reprimand, the frightened Malucier calmed down, but soon, staring at the angry Chilchak's back, she frowned with concern and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Cheating... How could this happen..."

At this moment, everyone was also very surprised and concerned. Could someone like Chilchak cheat?

But this was obviously not a topic that could be continued. Although Malucil was still upset about it, she soon calmed down and returned to exploring the maze itself.

The seventh underground floor is an ancient dwarf city built against the mountain wall. The terrain is not as complicated as the sixth underground floor. You just need to keep going downward to avoid major mistakes. You can even adopt a speed-pass strategy as before.

However, thinking like this, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly discovered a new situation -

"I can't seem to fly here."

To be precise, it was still possible to summon strong winds to blow oneself into the sky in a physical sense, but it was no longer possible to move in the air as easily as before.

Faced with this sudden situation, everyone thought of a possibility at the same time:

"Maybe the Mad Magician did something?"

Malucier guessed:

"For example, the other party has newly placed a [No Flying] spell in the maze, just like the 'No Human Death in the Maze' spell."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This was indeed very possible.

Flying is indeed an excellent ability. I think the opponent also realized this in the previous battle with Fujimaru Ritsuka, so he used this method to limit Fujimaru Ritsuka's combat effectiveness.

It seems that the opponent has not been idle during this period, but has been actively preparing for their next battle.

Izujinmei frowned and said:

"So what this means is that Ritsuka's fighting power has been weakened, and the next battle will become more troublesome, right?"

weaken?

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It is indeed a weakening, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it does not seem to be a particularly serious impact.

So she smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it will be alright even if this happens."

The only serious impact is probably that we won't be able to speed through with Laos and the others, but since we've already arrived here, everyone wants to explore the seventh underground floor, so it's no big deal.

"——Stop, there seems to be a monster ahead."

After going deeper for a while, Izuzumi suddenly spoke, causing everyone to slow down immediately and start moving cautiously.

After moving a short distance in this state, everyone soon saw a dark figure in front of them that almost blended into the surrounding dim environment.

Looking at the double horns on the other's head, Izuzumi couldn't help licking her lips and said:

“Is that a sheep?”

"No, judging from its body shape, it looks more like a cow or a horse..."

Laos made a subconscious judgment, half-closed his eyes and carefully observed the other person's appearance. The next moment, he suddenly shouted in surprise:

"That's a bicorn!"

"A two-horned beast?"

This was the first time they had seen this kind of monster. If nothing unexpected happened, its range of activities should only be in the area of ​​the seventh underground floor. Laos explained to them in a low voice with great interest:

"Bicorns are the opposite of unicorns. Unicorns like kindness and purity, while Bicorns hate kindness and like corruption and evil. But to be honest, the definition of "kindness" is vague, and I don't understand what the other party's criteria are."

"Anyway, this is it for tonight's dinner!"

Malucier raised the staff in her hand and asked:

"Want to give it a shot?"

"Um……"

After observing the other party's position and the surrounding environment, Laos shook his head and said:

"That would make too much noise and might attract a lot of other monsters. It's best to defeat it quietly. It would be great if we can lure it over here."

Then he pondered:

"Speaking of seduction, I remember a case where a pure underage girl was used to lure a unicorn to capture it. If it's a two-cornered beast, then it would require a corrupt adult male?"

"Depraved adult man..."

As soon as these words were spoken, for some reason, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Chilchak, as if telling something without words.

Seeing this, Chilchak was very upset and said:

"What, what are you looking at me for?"
