*****In front of the research institute on the 3rd floor of Huierna Labyrinth****
When Zhang Youji passed by Deguna and was accidentally swallowed by the sleeping Zim, Zhang Youji, who had not slept all night, heard the news from the vampire maid, and immediately rushed to Alf and Miller with bloodshot eyes. In front of the research institute, the two people who came out to greet them were frightened by the expression on Zhang Youji's face. After all, he had worked hard all night because of Deguna, and it was for such a dumbfounding thing, so, Zhang Youji is in a very bad mood now.
[That, that, that, that, Mr. Zhang Youji, are you okay? 】
[My face, my face looks very bad. 】
[It’s just that I didn’t sleep all night because of some boring thing. Compared to this, I heard the head maid said that you have already prepared the compass? 】
[Well, although it has been done, it still needs some time to adjust the magic power. If it is around 8 o'clock now, the adjustment will be completed... 】
[Don’t worry, it will be within half an hour at the fastest and 1 hour at the slowest. Before that, you should try to kill the time first. 】
[Then, Sir Zhang Youji, I suggest you choose someone to travel with during this period? 】
【Well? Head maid? When were you here? 】
[I have been following Mr. Zhang Youji since I conveyed the news, but you seemed to have not noticed because of your irritability. 】
[Really,... let's go pick out the travel options first. When Alf, Miller, and the compass are adjusted, find someone to notify me immediately. 】
【【knew. 】】
After Zhang Youji confirmed the compass with Alf and Miller, and heard the advice from the head maid who was behind him at some point, Zhang Youji gave the instructions to the two people once more, and then talked to the head maid. We left the research institute together and were about to return to the castle and start selecting candidates to go to the Elf Kingdom.
By the way, because Zhang Youji got lost again on the way back, the head maid led Zhang Youji and explained the route to the third floor of the maze and the general structure of the castle. Although Hui Erna was there At the meeting last night, I explained this matter to Zhang Youji, but because he was glared at by Letlica all the time, he didn't remember anything at all.
The castle has a total of 5 floors. The first floor of the castle now mainly contains some guest rooms, lounges, and guard rooms. They are mainly prepared for the family members who work in the castle and some servants of guests who are scheduled to come in the future. Although the others are still there. There are some empty places, but they are places where nothing has been built yet, so they are deliberately left empty just in case of emergencies. Among the five floors of the castle, there are some places like this intentionally left empty on each floor. place.
The second floor now mainly contains kitchens, canteens, some living rooms, and several playrooms, which are mainly used for family members and future guests to relax. The playrooms contain many famous entertainment games in this other world. As for Those game props were jointly created by Alf and Miller in the research institute.
The third floor currently only has guest rooms, a medical clinic, and a guard room, mainly for future guests and the relatives of the maze.
The fourth floor now mainly contains various places such as the throne room, conference room, combat research room, office, command room, banquet hall, treasury, and rooms of leaders of various races. It is mainly used to manage what happens in the maze. Various things, and used to receive some important people who will come to the maze in the future.
On the fifth floor, there are only the lord's room, a few empty rooms outside the lord's room, the treasure house, the treasury, the terrace, and the guard room near the stairs.
In addition, Suzu's body, which was called the Fairy Tomb by the relatives in the labyrinth, was moved to the secret room between the lords.
Just when Zhang Youji heard what the vampire maid who was leading the way said here, the two of them had already arrived between the thrones unknowingly, and the maid noticed that Zhang Youji was distracted during the explanation and quickly gave instructions. The family members who were on guard when they met on the road asked Valkyrie and the others to assemble between the thrones so that Zhang Youji could personally choose who would accompany him when he went to the Elf Kingdom.
[I didn’t notice it at all. When did you ask someone to do it? 】
[Excellent servants get everything done without the master knowing it. 】
[The efficiency is so high! It’s hard to imagine that he is Deguna’s subordinate! 】
[Well, although I don’t want to speak for the current bitch..., for the current Lord Deguna, but in order to correct some things that you may have misunderstood, please allow me to say something. From the beginning to the present, I I have never regretted serving Lord Deguna. I am just very, very unwilling because Lord Deguna has fallen into this state and I can't do anything. 】
【······What was the head maid and Deguna like before she became what she is now? I've been curious about this since before. 】
[Before Lady Deguna became like this, she was aloof, cool, and ice-smart. She was a very dependable and trustworthy person. Even if she ordered us to die, we would accept it with a smile. No matter what happened. The times are all the same, just..., alas. 】
[Ah, this is really an interesting thing to hear. I didn’t expect that the head maid would be so loyal to that Deguna. Moreover, the original Deguna was like that. Hahaha, it’s a strange anecdote, but can we leave this matter for later? Contractor, because Valkyrie and the others are already waiting outside the door, and everyone, including the person in the topic just now, is misunderstanding together. What are you doing, trying your best to eavesdrop on the conversation here? Of course the reason is the person in the topic just now. 】
When the head maid told Zhang Youji about Deguna's past with a somewhat sad expression, Ifrut suddenly moved here and interrupted the topic the two were talking about. Although Ifrut also changed her mind towards Deguna, I am very interested in the reason why I am like this, but because Valkyrie and the other five people who arrived first were waiting outside the door, they seemed to be led astray by Deguna, thinking that Zhang Youji and the head maid were doing something obscene. Because she was eavesdropping outside the door, for the sake of Zhang Youji's reputation, Ifrutte used teleportation magic to come in to see what was going on, but hearing about Deguna's past was something she didn't expect.
Just when Zhang Youji brought the five people who were eavesdropping outside the door, Valkyrie, Hyouka, Nas, Caiyu, and Deguna, into the throne room to clarify their misunderstandings, Deguna who spread the rumors , was immediately beaten violently by four people. Deguna, who finally recovered from Zim's swallowing and dissolving attack, fell into a state of serious injury again this time, and then under the disdainful gaze of the head maid before leaving, Zhang Youji treated it like a rag and threw it behind the throne.
After that, Huilna, Feique, Zhenlan and others also came to the throne room one after another. Everyone ignored Deguna who turned into a rag and fell behind the throne. They lined up in two rows in front of the throne and started. I discussed with Zhang Youji about traveling and choosing a companion to go to the Elf Kingdom.
[Summoner, you don’t need to include me in your travel choices, and I don’t want to accompany you. You should have said it at yesterday’s meeting. Today, I want to fight with demons who can skillfully use transfer magic. Go back to your own territory and move your clansmen into your maze. 】
【······Speaking of it, it seems like this happened? Hmm, then come and set off with me later, although the destination is different. 】
[Master, master! Let’s continue choosing candidates for the trip! 】
【To call, to call the Lord, also to include other people! The kingdom of spirits, beauties, beauties are calling, my lady soul——! 】
[Binghua, before picking someone, can you help me throw out this large piece of garbage? 】
【Yes, I would like to. 】
[Hinghua-chan, let go, I, people, have to go home! I want to go to the kingdom of elves! Call, Lord! Call the Lord——! ! ! 】
【·········, Deguna, why did you fall into this state? It's too tragic. 】
Before discussing the candidates to go to the Elf Kingdom, Zhenlan first spoke up and refused to go to the Elf Kingdom with Zhang Youji, and explained her reasons. When Zhang Youji started to feel confused after hearing this, Binghua immediately changed her mind. The topic changed, and at the same time, Deguna, who was beaten into a rag behind the throne, stood up with a serious injury and exuding amazing momentum, roaring out her wish, when Binghua cried loudly. After the noisy Deguna was thrown out of the throne room, Zhang Youji looked pitifully at the door where Deguna was crying and knocking, and sighed and expressed his feelings.
In this way, after Deguna was thrown out of the throne room, everyone began to discuss the candidates to go to the Elf Kingdom. However, because Deguna cried outside the door on the way, it was so miserable. That's why Zhang Youji had to let Deguna in and let her participate in the discussion.
As for the result of the selection, Deguna was naturally selected as the first candidate under the pity eyes of everyone.
The second choice is Nas, because the distance is very long, so she needs the strength to travel. Although she can also choose Feique and the Phoenix, Zhang Youji wanted to go to the Elf Kingdom in order to be sure that she would not get lost and be down-to-earth (probably) , so Nas was chosen as a substitute.
The third and fourth candidates are Valkyrie and Ifrut. The reason why Zhang Youji chose them is very simple, because he feels that they are very reliable and can handle various emergencies.
Although Zhang Youji also wanted to add the strongest Bing Hua, he did not want Hui Erna to be separated from Bing Hua, the mother and daughter who had just met each other, and because he wanted to go to the Elf Kingdom to seek resurrection magic as peacefully as possible. relationship, so that’s why I didn’t choose Binghua to go with me, and decided to just take Valkyrie and the other four people with me.
By the way, during the discussion, there was a proposal to lead the phoenix and all the dependents who could fly together to the Elf Kingdom as quickly as possible to meet the Elf King to seek resurrection magic. Although Zhang Youji wanted to agree immediately after hearing this, he remembered that After Laetlica's ghostly state, she reluctantly rejected the proposal.
[Hehehe, the kingdom of elves, after a few hundred years, I must, this time, enter the kingdom of elves! Hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey! 】
【······Summoning Lord, let’s not take Deguna with us, right? 】
[Stop talking about Valkyrie, I actually don’t want to take her there, but I have to let her go. Look at Deguna’s expression now. If I don’t take her, I’m afraid she will follow quietly. Rather than causing trouble, it would be better to keep an eye on her where you can see her. 】
【···Well, this is the only way to go, so please leave it to me to summon the Lord and keep an eye on Deguna. 】
[Then I'll leave it to you, Valkyrie... By the way, there's no news from Alf and Miller yet? 】
[Contractor, when I was just choosing my travel companion, my subordinates had already used their thoughts to convey the news that they had prepared a companion transfer demon for the Queen of Flowers and the completion of the compass. Now, Al Fu is waiting with them at the exit of the maze. Ah, there is another urgent message. Something seems to have happened between Mi Yi and Buret. Her brother Miller is currently chopping with Buret with a kitchen knife. Woolen cloth. 】
[Why did you say it with a happy expression? ! Why don't you hurry up and save people? Alas, why did this happen before departure? 】
When the candidate to go to the Elf Kingdom with Zhang Youji was determined, Deguna, who was seriously injured, immediately laughed out loud with desire, and Valkyrie, who was looking at her, made his proposal to Zhang Youji, But after Zhang Youji's helpless words, Valkyrie immediately changed his proposal with a headache. At this time, Zhang Youji, who felt that the matter was almost over, casually asked a question about the guidepost, and as he listened When Yvelute's report came out with a sinister smile, everyone had to go to the kitchen before going to the exit of the maze.
After that, the dispute caused by the misunderstanding in the kitchen on the second floor of the castle was resolved. Everyone came to the exit of the maze and prepared to set off. Now they are saying hello before leaving and telling each other some things that need attention. , when these things were over, Zhenlan began to order the 25 transfer demons who were traveling with her to start moving near her territory.
[I, the queen, remember that the premise of transferring magic is that it can only be transferred to places you have been to before. If you have not been to the Garden of Absolute Flowers, then transfer to the vicinity of the empire. Sir Birch, Summoner, this queen will Take the first step and start transferring. 】
[This guy is really impatient. Forget it, let’s set off. I’ll leave the defense of the maze and Suzu’s body to you. 】
[Don’t worry, young man, during your absence, I will raise the defense and vigilance between the lords to the highest level, and let my daughter, Binghua, live among the lords at all times to guard. Moreover, Fei Que and others are here, so you can go to the kingdom of elves with confidence. 】
[···Hmm, having the strongest Binghua stationed there does make you feel more at ease, but Black Dragon Girl, you understand, right? 】
[Of course, the young man guarded the dragon's egg for me. This time, I will guard the tomb of the goblin as the young man. I swear to you that when you go to the elven kingdom, I will bet my first life. With two lives, I will never let an accident happen to the Fairy Tomb. Even though I said such big words, I am not the only guardian of the maze. 】
[That’s it. Summoning Master, please go out with peace of mind. If you encounter danger on the road and are separated from Valkyrie and the others, please don’t force it. You can come back at any time with the teleporter you carry, and let us come with you. Help tide over the crisis. 】
【···Well, I’ll leave the labyrinth to you. 】
In this way, after Zhenlan first transferred with the demons, Zhang Youji said something to the left-behind maze group, and when he got the answers represented by Hui Erna and Fei Que, he nodded to the left-behind group and said After saying goodbye for a moment, Zhang Youji, Valkyrie, Everut, and the three of them sat on the backs of the Spider Queen and Nas, and began to continue their journey to the Elf Kingdom again, but it was different from last time. What's amazing is that this time, we are no longer running around in confusion, but moving straight towards the goal.
By the way, as for the teleporter that returned to the maze on the way last time and was left at the house of the Predictive Mirror, it was because Alf and Miller were more interested in it, so they directly arranged for several of the family members to change the guard. , it was just placed there, and there was an idea that it might be of some use in the future.
In addition, Nas can only fit three people on her back at most, so Deguna, who is not mentioned above, was tied up and thrown into the bundle dragged on the ground behind Nas, because Nas The silk baggage is made of her own silk, so its durability is very high. Even if it is dragged all the way to the Elf Kingdom, it will not cause any wear and tear. However, the person who is packed inside will feel hell on the way, because Baggage is baggage after all.
