"What? Something went wrong with the maze?"
"What's so surprising? It's not uncommon for mazes to have problems."
Lore squeezed Monroe.
"The strength and number of monsters in the maze we visited this time were a bit unusual, so we went to the deepest part to investigate and found signs of a possible riot in the maze."
"In the end, dealing with the Labyrinth Master and stopping the riot took up too much time, so I didn't have time to collect other materials. The money I made this time was almost entirely from selling Labyrinth Master materials."
Lor's words immediately caught Hulim's attention.
"Ms. Lor, did you just mention a riot in the labyrinth?"
"Yes," Lor nodded, "but you don't have to worry too much. With so many mazes in Bangisto, it's normal for this kind of situation to happen occasionally."
"I'm not worried about that..."
Hulim said slowly,
"It's just that I encountered the same situation yesterday, so something feels wrong."
When these words were spoken, Lor and the other two were stunned.
Especially Monroe, who had always been nonchalant, suddenly became serious.
"Signs of riots appearing simultaneously in both labyrinths are no accident..."
"Mr. Monroe, what do you mean?"
"This is just my guess right now. The specifics of what's going on need further verification. So, Hulim, are you free tomorrow?"
"some."
"Okay, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild headquarters tomorrow. My intuition tells me there's something fishy going on..."
After that, the dinner ended hastily with a conversation among a few people.
On the way back, looking at the still bustling and prosperous Bangisto, Hulim felt a sense of unease brewing under the bright lights.
... ...
The next morning.
Hulim arrived at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters as promised.
Probably to take care of Lor who was too lazy to sleep, and to avoid the peak period of morning missions, the four of them arrived after half of the morning.
"Yo~, everyone is here."
Monroe walked out of the Adventurer's Guild with a bottle of cheap wine in his pocket.
Behind him was a staff member of the guild.
"Please follow me, the Lord is waiting for you."
The guild staff said to the four people.
Hearing this, Hulim understood that Monroe must have told the guild about the situation after he arrived.
Given his status, it is likely that he would attract the attention of the guild.
However, which guild leader wants to know the situation?
With curiosity in her heart, Hulim followed the staff member and walked into the guild.
As we walked through each floor.
Hulim felt a hint of doubt in her heart again.
Where are we going? Why does it look like we are going to the top floor?
Finally, just as Hulim had expected, the staff brought them to the door of a room on the highest floor of the guild.
"Everyone, please go in on your own. I'll wait here."
"OK!"
Without waiting for Hulim to ask the staff who from the guild wanted to see them, Monroe casually pushed open the door of the room.
Bang--!
However, the next second after he opened the door, he closed it at the speed of light.
“???”
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"Brother, what's wrong? Aren't you going in?"
Luggie asked.
"No, nothing..."
Monroe shook his head.
Although Monroe said he was fine, his strange expression, his voice that had somehow become quieter, and his arrogant attitude that had disappeared all indicated that he was in serious trouble...
after.
Monroe took a deep breath, then carefully pushed the door open again and walked in.
Hulim and the other two followed and walked into the room.
Bang!
As Lor walked last, he closed the door.
The whole room suddenly became quiet, and all the sounds from the outside world disappeared...
Lor looked around the room curiously.
"This is my first time here. I didn't expect the soundproofing in this room to be so good."
However, no one responded to her at this time.
Monroe was unusually quiet after entering, Luggie remained silent due to his personality, and as for Hulim...
At this moment, she was staring intently at the only person in the room besides the four of them...
Totally unaware.
When she entered the room, she had no idea that there was anyone inside.
But, he is right in front of me!
At this time, the person with his back to them slowly turned around.
As a result, Hulim was able to see the other person's appearance clearly.
Beneath a mop of silvery hair lay a pair of deep, blood-red eyes. He wore a simple white robe, his hands hidden within the loose sleeves, etched with magical patterns. A faint smile graced his face, and there was no trace of magical energy, as if it didn't even exist.
"Lord Philouven."
Monroe bowed to the man in front of him.
This scene surprised the people behind him.
"Monroe, you're much more polite than the first time you came."
"Well... ..."
Monroe smiled awkwardly.
"That was my time. I didn't know your identity. Ahem, you guys—"
