Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

For various reasons, Kabul, who returned to the ground with the Kikuro team, became the assistant of the Canary team, and explored the maze with the captain Mislen for a while.

During this period, he learned a lot of important information about the maze from Mislen.

"The maze is actually a cage made by ancient people to imprison demons."

It is said that the demon is a kind of unknown creature summoned by ancient people from another dimension. It feeds on the desires of creatures and can fulfill all people's wishes. In ancient times, it was even worshiped as a [god].

But later, people began to fear its extraordinary power, so they tried their best to seal it into the [maze], so that it could not move outside the maze.

In order to escape from the maze, the demon began to use gold and silver treasures to attract adventurers to explore the maze, looking for people with strong desires, giving them powerful power, fulfilling their wishes, cultivating their desires and then eating them, and constantly accumulating their own power in this way.

The person chosen by the devil is called the Lord of the Labyrinth because he has unparalleled power in the labyrinth.

"Miss Lixiang, do you remember what I said before?"

"Almost all labyrinths end with the monsters in the labyrinth coming to the ground, causing an irreversible tragedy. This is because the devil wants to break through the limitations of the labyrinth and return to the ground."

The power of the devil grows by absorbing desires, and the specific manifestation is reflected in the changes of the labyrinth. Therefore, the experienced Western elves have summed up a rule called [Labyrinth Growth], which divides the labyrinth into five levels:

Level 1, a labyrinth that has just been discovered and is in its initial state;

Level 2, valuable things begin to appear in the labyrinth, and adventurers are gradually attracted;

Level 3, the town near the labyrinth becomes prosperous, the treasures in the shallow layer decrease, and exploration becomes more difficult;

Level 4, the labyrinth structure changes, and the treasures in the shallow layer increase again. At this time, more adventurers will flock to the labyrinth, and the nearby area will become more prosperous;

Level 5, dangerous monsters in the deep layer begin to appear in the shallow layer, and even rush out of the ground, causing serious harm.

Kabul said in a deep voice:

"When Mr. Julang and I returned to the ground, the growth of the maze had reached the fourth level!"

"The current situation is already very dangerous. If it continues like this, tragedy will soon come!"

Demon, maze, fourth level of growth...

Kabul's speech completely overturned Laos and others, including the world's previous understanding of the maze. Because the content was too unbelievable, everyone didn't know how to react at once, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly fell silent.

At the same time, Hisel, the master of the maze, showed a thoughtful expression and murmured:

"So that's it, is this the real purpose of that guy...?"

Although he keenly noticed that the winged lion was wrong and sealed it up, he could not find the answer to what the other party wanted to do. Until now, he finally felt enlightened.

Is the other party's action last night probably for this matter?

At this time, Malucier suddenly realized something, and said with wide eyes in shock:

"Wait, does that mean the winged lion is a demon——?!"

"...What else?"

Qilchak was speechless about her slowness:

"You should understand this kind of thing after hearing half of it?"

"None of your business!"

Malucier glared at him in anger, but thanks to this, the atmosphere became more lively again. Leos asked in confusion:

"If the maze is really so dangerous, why hide it from the public? Wouldn't it be better to make it public?"

"What a lovely idea."

Hearing this, Sishuis on the opposite side couldn't help but chuckle, and said in a joking tone:

"Please think carefully with your young head. If people know that there is a demon in the maze that can fulfill all wishes, will there be more people who are afraid of danger and stay away, or more people who are willing to take risks?"

"This..."

Leos was speechless and understood the other party's intention.

If the information is made public, the number of people willing to explore the maze will probably be thousands of times more than it is now. After all, being able to fulfill all wishes is too incredible.

At the same time, Fujimaru Ritsuka also remembered something and murmured to himself in some confusion:

"But speaking of it, since the other party needs someone with strong desires, why did they find me?"

She thought that she didn't have any particularly strong desires, right?

"- What do you want?"

At this time, Misren suddenly interrupted, asking a question while explaining in a calm tone:

"For the devil, simple desires such as desire for wealth or power are not of much help to it, no matter how strong they are. It prefers complex desires. The more complex the desires, the more powerful it can cultivate."

"Complex?"

The latest chapters are available at 6=9=Book=Bar!

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his cheek and said:

"If I have to say, my wish is to live peacefully with the people I care about. Is this also complicated?"

"Of course."

Not only Misren, but Kabul also nodded in affirmation without hesitation.

A peaceful life sounds like a simple wish, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not that simple.

Strictly speaking, what counts as a peaceful life?

Is it a physical sense of being isolated from everything outside and being quiet without being disturbed by anyone?

Or does it refer to the inner peace that can be enjoyed even in the busy city?

Or is it a life that goes smoothly without any setbacks?

…

Since such a wish can be interpreted in various ways, it is easier to be guided, deviated, and shaped by the devil, and is eventually carefully cultivated into a twisted and strong shape, and then eaten by the other party.

"I see……!"

Sisir repeated his previous words again, but his tone was a bit more gritty, making it difficult to hide his resentment towards the Winged Lion.

Because his wish is very similar to Fujimaru Ritsuka's wish, but he just wants Delgaru and the villagers of the Golden Kingdom to live in peace and stability...

As for the obvious direction of things, the current situation of the Delgaru family and the residents of Golden Township is definitely not what he expected!

Fujimaru Ritsuka also nodded suddenly. Then, she looked at Mislen curiously and asked with a smile:

"By the way, aren't you able to communicate well now? Why didn't you do this during the negotiation just now?"

Mislen said:

"In most cases, when the labyrinth grows to this point, it means that the master of the labyrinth has been severely affected by demons. It is almost impossible to communicate normally and can only use force to intervene."

Recalling the behavior shown by Hisel before, Leos and others nodded unconsciously in agreement. Hisel's face became darker due to the humiliation, but he had no way to refute, so he could only say this. An account is written on the head of the winged lion.

But on the other side, Mislen looked at Hisl again. There seemed to be a hint of confusion on his expressionless face, and he asked bluntly:

"So, why are you back to normal? Where is the demon now? What happened to it?"
