Chapter 727 Is this someone with bad intentions?

"Hey, did Mr. Winged Lion come here last night?"

When Mashu woke up the next morning, he was a little surprised to hear what happened last night.

Not only that, like Fujimaru Ritsuka, she also found a nightmare under her pillow. Only then did she understand why she didn't hear any movement. It turned out that she was trapped in a dream woven by the nightmare.

After she realized what was happening, she immediately said with a look of shame:

"I'm sorry, senior. I..."

"it's okay!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted her with a smile, and then asked curiously:

"But come to think of it, you didn't seem to have a nightmare last night, did you?"

When it comes to this question, Mashu blushed slightly and answered a little embarrassedly:

"Yeah. On the contrary, I had a happy dream last night."

"That's it..."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ponder, with a thoughtful expression.

The nightmare demon's hunting method is to make people have nightmares continuously, which will eventually lead to mental breakdown and death. However, a nightmare demon that can make people have sweet dreams... seems a little abnormal no matter how you look at it.

"That is to say, the possibility of someone manipulating this from behind is higher, right?"

Mashu immediately understood what she meant, and her expression became serious. She nodded and agreed:

"Indeed. In this case, Mr. Winged Lion is indeed a bit suspicious."

"I just don't know why it did this. Is it for the magic book? But in that case..."

The other half of the winged lion, the magic book that has not yet been unlocked, is currently kept in the hands of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But if you want to remove the seal on your partner, it is best to remain calm and do nothing under the current circumstances. This behavior is a bit redundant.

“—it came to me.”

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the corner of the room. They realized that there was another person in the room besides them, so they turned to look at where Hisler was.

Perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, Hisser had dark circles under his eyes and his face was visibly tired. However, Hisser now seemed a lot calmer than yesterday.

Hearing her words, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously:

"Is it to silence the witness? Do you have any evidence against him?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

Hisser's gaze gradually drifted off into the distance, and he murmured in a trance:

"But last night I dreamt about some things from the past."

He recalled the quarrel that Yaad's father, Eidi, had with him.

In a fit of rage, he tore the man's soul out of his body as a punishment, but afterwards he forgot to put the man's soul back into his body, until the man's body also disappeared, along with his and Delgaru's wife.

He also remembered that Delgaru had expressed to him more than once his wish to return to the ground.

But after each discussion, he would completely forget their conversation, so this scene would be played out again and again, ending in vain, until the last discussion ended, when Delgaru's soul disappeared.

But why did he forget these things?

"…It's a winged lion."

When the winged lion was mentioned again, Hisil's eyes revealed the familiar hatred and anger, and he gritted his teeth and whispered:

"I thought it would be fine if I sealed it, but I didn't expect it to have such a trick... Damn it...!"

But unlike last night, he quickly calmed down again, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu and said:

"Where did you put the unsealed magic book?"

After he finished speaking, he paused and explained:

"Don't get me wrong. I just want to remind you that even though I have sealed the Winged Lion, it can still mobilize its own power and affect those who come into contact with it."

"If you don't want to end up like me, you better be careful."

When he said this, his tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

If it weren't for this failure, which resulted in the theft of the magic book he was carrying, he might not have discovered the Winged Lion's method until his death.

"Is that so?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to be thinking about something, then smiled and said:

"Thanks for the reminder. But don't worry, it's kept in a 'safe' place."

As she spoke, she touched the lapis lazuli bracelet on her wrist. No matter what, it wouldn't have any impact across the space, right?

Hearing her say this, Hisser said no more and continued:

"It seems that you have also noticed that there is something wrong with the Winged Lion."

"So, how about we talk about this?"

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other with a bit of surprise on their faces. They didn't expect that the positions of both parties would be reversed and the other party would take the initiative to talk to them.

However, this was the situation they were happy to see, so Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and smiled:

"Of course."

However, at this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the window. The three of them immediately turned to look at the source of the sound, and saw a crow flying from nowhere and standing on the windowsill.

"Raven..."

Are there crows in this place too?

Another hundred years later, Hisser's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"That's someone else's familiar. There are others who have come to this floor as well."

"Familiar? Others?"

Mashu was surprised:

"Could it be that there are other teams of adventurers who have successfully arrived here?"

However, with the exception of them, the original top team of adventurers had just discovered the entrance to the seventh underground floor. Now, a team that can explore here suddenly appeared, and they always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Hisser seemed to have thought of something and said thoughtfully:

"No, it may be the troops of the Western Elves."

"I fought one of them in the upper level not long ago. That guy was very strong."

"Western elves?"

As one of the two overlords of this world, Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat curious about the arrival of the Western elves, and wondered why they came here at this time.

But now the information from Hisser is also very important...

Noticing her hesitation, Mashu smiled and said:

"Seniors, please continue chatting. I will go and inform Mr. Laos and the others to find out about their situation."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate and nodded decisively:

"Be careful."

"Ah."

After watching Mashu leave the room, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Hissel again and said with a smile:

"So Mr. Thistle, can I ask you a few questions first?"

-

"Western Elves?!"

After hearing the news brought by Mashu, everyone became nervous. Chilchak said with an unpleasant expression:

"I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

"Could it be that they discovered that we used dark magic and came to arrest us?!"

"Probably not?"

Malucier said with a guilty conscience:

"Even if someone among Julang and the others reported it, they can't act so quickly."

"That's true..."

"——It should be Canary."

The figure of the Winged Lion suddenly appeared and explained to everyone:

"That's a group of Western elves that is specifically responsible for handling incidents related to the maze. Once they appear, they will occupy the maze exclusively and drive everyone else out."

"What? Why are they so overbearing?!"

Malucelle shouted indignantly, causing others to look at her strangely.

The Winged Lion replied calmly:

"Since they are the strongest in the world, no one dares to do anything to them."

On the other side, Laos said thoughtfully:

"Winged Lion, you said before to be careful of the [Canary]. Are you referring to them?"

"Yes."

The Winged Lion nodded and said:

"In any case, you better be careful. You have done so many things. If the other party finds out by mistake, you might be taken away and imprisoned."

Falin said with some difficulty:

"So, the only way is to lie to them?"

"That's all we can do for the time being."

The Winged Lion nodded, and then suddenly changed the subject:

"However, if Fujimaru Ritsuka can officially become the master of the labyrinth, the situation will be different."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Mashu at the same time.
