What is the goal?

"No, it's not us, it's you." Aize looked at Yakumo: "Are all magicians pure and simple? Neither you nor Fulilian seem to have any special desires."

"It's hard for people without desires to make progress. The reason I was able to survive is because I longed to live longer than others. But whether it's from you or from Fulilian, it seems difficult for me to see such desire."

"When we first accepted the expedition to the kingdom, Xinmeier and I were almost beheaded for our disrespectful words to the king. If it weren't for you, Haita, and Fulilian, our journey might have ended here."

"But unlike Haita and Fulilian who were flustered, you were very calm, even a little too calm." Aize began to stroke his beard again: "It seems that you have considerable confidence in convincing the king, which I really don't understand."

"So this matter bothers you?" Yakumo closed the magic book in his hand. "Perhaps it's because I don't have much respect for the king. When we talked, I just treated him as a human being."

Yakumo is immortal. Even if he is beheaded, he will be resurrected in the city. So he has nothing to fear. "Besides, we just need to confirm whether the king is a wise ruler first."

"Even if he is just a mediocre king, as long as he is not a tyrant who would kill people immediately if they disagree with him, there is still room for him to turn around. Besides, the king is actually waiting for us to give him a way out."

"Besides, isn't this also a way to test whether the hero has the courage to move forward?" Yakumo said, and took a sip of the hot water next to him: "However, I still don't like communicating with such a high-ranking person."

"I totally agree with this." Aizegao glanced at Yakumo, and then his stomach growled at an inopportune time.

There was no choice but to eat only fish soup and bread at night. Perhaps for humans like Yakumo and Xinmeier, this was enough. But for a warrior like Aize, maintaining such physical strength and consumption was far from enough.

“Pfft…” Yakumo couldn’t help laughing: “Sorry, sorry, I just didn’t expect that what might happen to Fulilian would also happen to Aize.”

"It seems that I am indeed hungry." Aize touched his stomach: "I haven't eaten since I left the capital of the kingdom."

"Here, this is a snack. People standing in the front row always need a lot of energy. I think the calories provided by today's dinner are not enough for you?" Yakumo handed over two fried chickens and a big hot dog.

The prices in MapleStory are really amazing. The price of fried chicken and hot dogs is not high. Maybe it's because they are considered as recovery potions in the game. But when you really take it out, it's a whole fried chicken.

"It's amazing." Aize said bluntly: "I didn't see you preparing these when I came out."

"Just think of it as my special ability. After all, my safety is only guaranteed if the soldiers are well fed and hold on in the front line. Just think of it as my selfish desire."

"Selfishness? Haha, it doesn't seem so bad." Aize took some of it and said, "But, let's leave some for them. It's still very tiring to guard the second half of the night."

"Don't worry, I will also prepare for the second half of the night. Of course, I won't really favor one over the other."

People who get up in the middle of the night can't eat greasy food like fried chicken. The store also sells some fruits and other things, which are not expensive. It's good to be able to buy them in the wilderness.

After handing over the night watchman in the second half of the night, Yakumo also went to rest. The next morning, everyone hurriedly ate some bread and continued on their journey. Not long after, everyone found the maze that Xin Meier mentioned.

"It's called a maze, but it looks more like a sacrificial temple built by some unknown country." Yakumo looked at the entrance, which was very similar to the style of European temples.

"The existence of mazes is actually some ruins. It's just that there are many mechanisms and even monsters in these ruins, and they have not been fully explored. However, it is indisputable that most mazes contain treasures." Haita explained.

"Is it really a good idea to spend so much time here? This maze looks quite large." This time it was Flillian who was a little hesitant.

"Sinmeier, will there be a magic book in here?" Yakumo was quite curious.

"Generally speaking, there should be some," Xin Meier answered while thinking, "After all, it has been a thousand years since humans began to use magic. There must be some notes like magic books left in a maze like this, right?"

"Okay! Let's go!" Fulilian, who had originally lacked interest, suddenly walked to the first place.

"Ah, this..." For a moment, no one reacted to Fulilian's sudden change.

After a moment, Xin Meier couldn't help but sigh: "I see, is Fulilian really like this?"

"You changed your attitude immediately after hearing about the magic book. You are worthy of it, Furlian." Yakumo also sighed: "But if there really is a magic book, I am also very curious."

If I remember correctly, some of the skills of the fourth-level magician seem to require magic books, right? So logically speaking, he should also be able to make magic books.

Of course, as I said before, all of this takes time to explore.

Chapter 20 Fu Fu Wants to Film a New Movie

Because I had a full meal, I explored

Everyone had no problem with power. After entering the maze, all you see are broken bricks and stuff. But the passageway didn't collapse at all, which was quite magical.

[Yakumo: I have always explored mazes in games, but I never thought that one day I would be able to try it myself.]

[Shu: Be careful. Even if you won't die, don't be too careless. ]

[Funina: I want to watch the live broadcast! Exploring the maze is fun, right? ]

[Eri: Um, I too…]

Ying Lili was a little embarrassed. Since the chat group was established, she often lost focus in class and would chat for a long time. As a result, she forgot everything the teacher had just said.

But it doesn't matter, after coming down, she will still start the chat group and stop time to study by herself. Anyway, as long as Yakumo is still in the present world, her paused time will never expire.

[Eri: I've been researching magic in chat groups lately, but there's been no progress. Could it be that ordinary people can't use this stuff? ]

It's no wonder that Eriri asked that. Including the time she spent on time-stopping, she actually spent quite a lot of time on learning magic. But she still hadn't cultivated her magic power, which really discouraged her.

[Funina: Eh? But I succeeded? ]

Fernina's words undoubtedly dealt another heavy blow to Eriri. Indeed, Fernina could use magic, which meant that what Yakumo had posted to the group was not false.

[Eri: My magic talent is so bad? ]

[Yakumo: It may be related to the fact that Eriri's world is an ordinary world. Cultivating mystery in a world without mystery is probably much more difficult than in an ordinary world.]

Yakumo can only speculate like this at present. I don't know whether the world really has an upper and lower limit, but I have to admit that this speculation is relatively reliable at present. That is, it is very difficult for a world without a mysterious side to contact the mysterious.

[Yakumo: But Fufu has already proven that there is no problem with training, so Eriri you can only rely on time to improve. Anyway, there is a chat group now, and you won't get older, so you don't have to worry about time. ]

[Eri: That being said... ah, I suddenly feel so irritated! ]

[Yakumo: If you feel annoyed, just go and beat Tomoya up again. Aren’t you used to beating him with twin tails anyway? ]

[Eri: No! ]

Huh? Seeing that Eriri was almost unable to reply in a second, Yakumo was stunned for a moment. Eriri, who regarded the identity of Tomoya's childhood sweetheart as more important than anything else, could not reply in a second?

[Eri: I didn't expect that what happened in the book would actually happen. Ren also came to find me and that fat woman.]

[What? He just brought a plan that's not even an outline. I get angry when I think about how hard I tried to help him! What's even more infuriating is that as a planner, he has no control over the situation at all! ]

In fact, Eriri was not angry because she helped Tomoya, and Tomoya chose someone else in the end. Instead, Tomoya, as the proposer of the plan and the core of the whole team, did not have control over the overall situation.

A leader who cannot coordinate the entire team is terrible. This team was actually a small team centered around Renye at the beginning. The reason why everyone was able to get together was actually very simple, that is, they all had some feelings for Renye.

If Lun Ye could make things clear after everyone got together, play a good role in regulation, and let everyone do their job, then there would be no problem. But obviously, Lun Ye did not do this.

Eriri actually talked to him about this after Tomoya came to him, but it was obvious that Tomoya did not correct himself, and Eriri didn't even know whether Tomoya listened or not.

Because she didn't want to follow the plot of the novel, Eriri had not accepted Tomoya's invitation, unless Tomoya changed. Unfortunately, Tomoya was still in high spirits and didn't realize what Eriri said to him.

The more this happened, the more disappointed Eriri was with Tomoya's performance, to the point that Eriri no longer wanted to see Tomoya again. At least, give both parties some time to think calmly.

Eriri thought that maybe she should calm down and think about it. If nothing else, at least she didn't want to go down the same path as in the novel. She felt itchy when she thought of Yakumo teasing her that she was "done with pears".

[Yakumo: Okay, okay, I've adjusted the live broadcast. But the brightness inside the maze is not high, so you guys just have to make do with it.]

Yakumo had already started the group live broadcast, and the brightness of the screen was not high. But with the torches around, it was still clear. Funina had already prepared refreshments and was ready to watch this adventure carefully.

Since the chat group was created and she can chat with everyone every day, her mood has improved a lot compared to before. At least she doesn't have to worry about what is said in the chat group. After having someone to talk to, her stress has been relieved a lot.

Moreover, maybe new people will join the chat group in the future, which might make it even more interesting.

Villette felt that Fernina had been a little abnormal recently. Although she would perform on time, compared with her previous flamboyant self, she was now much more stable.

There was no fuss, after finishing work every day, she would sit there with a book in her hand and eat cakes. Unfortunately, Villette couldn't see the chat group, and Fufu was just holding a book to cover up the chat group.

"Ms. Fininna, regarding your proposal to rehearse a play about a brave

"Have you finished casting for the drama about defeating the demon king? There have been a lot of applications recently, and if we don't start the screening, it will cause chaos."

"Ah? Oh! Well, then Villette, please find someone to help screen them. I plan to employ these members for a long term, and maybe we can perform a long-term drama." Finina said without turning her head.

"Ha..." Navillatte sighed helplessly. It was like this again. Furniture's frequent sudden ideas were no longer strange to Navillatte.

"Oh, by the way, please help me find a few actors in Melusin. Some actors have height requirements that ordinary people can't meet." Finina added.

"I understand. Then please bring out the script and character settings as soon as possible, Ms. Funina. Otherwise, it will be difficult to determine the judging criteria. I think you will not refuse this job, right, Ms. Funina?"

"Of course!" Furninha stammered, "Soon, I'll give you the script very soon!"

Oh no, I just wanted to do this drama on a whim, but I haven't even started writing the script yet! What should I do? Should I just use the settings of Yakumo's team members?

Chapter 21 Begins the Exploration

"Let me make it clear in advance, I have no experience in exploring a maze." After everyone entered the maze, a group of people began to murmur. Yakumo definitely had no experience in exploring a maze, and he said it very bluntly.

"Haha, Xinmei and I don't have it either." Haita continued laughing and tried to fool people.

"Unfortunately, I don't have one either." Aize said the same. Then everyone looked at Fulilian at the same time. After all, there was an elf who had lived for a long time here, so he should be knowledgeable, right?

"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Fulilian tilted her head: "As I said beforehand, I spend all my time studying magic and rarely go out. Even if you look at me like that, I can't change this situation."

"Haha, it turns out that we are all the same." Xin Meier touched the back of his head and laughed: "Now I feel a little relieved. If we really encounter something wrong, we can run away together."

[Funina: Is this kind of expedition team really okay?! This is totally different from what I imagined!]

In the adventure group imagined by Funina, when exploring the dungeon, there are reliable short people responsible for checking the mechanisms, magicians responsible for dealing with traps, vanguards for blocking, and priests for healing. But what is Xinmeier's team?

[Yakumo: Because they are all newcomers, I am mentally prepared anyway. ]

Really, Yakumo was mentally prepared from the beginning. Everyone present was a novice and had basically no chance to explore the maze. Yakumo himself was not afraid because he was not afraid of death.

However, not being afraid of death does not mean you won’t fall into traps! And after dying and rebirth, you have to run the map again, which is very troublesome.

The maze is a long corridor that keeps turning in various directions. If you don't have a good sense of direction, you may get lost and unable to get out after entering.

Fortunately, Yakumo had his own system map, and after opening it, he could see the structure of the maze. At least he didn't need to worry about going back. Soon, the group came to a fork in the road.

"There are two ways." said Fulilian.

"Just choose one and go. If it doesn't work, just come back." Aize has always been very direct.

"Well, the goddess hasn't given any revelation in this regard..." Haita held a book in his hand. It was a holy book that all monks had and the most important medium for monks to cast spells.

"No, since it's a maze, we have to explore all the places." After thinking for a while, Xin Meier asked for everyone's opinions: "If the treasure chest is on another road, wouldn't it be a pity if we missed it?"

"But, Xinmei. If we delay too long and get lost without enough supplies, we will die in here." Haita was still as worried as ever.

"As for the route, there's no problem. I can remember it." Yakumo raised his hand: "As for supplies, I can't keep supplying them."

"In that case, let's speed up the exploration!" Xin Meir said excitedly, then took a step forward.

There was a light "click" sound. Everyone looked at Xin Meier's feet and saw a floor tile that had obviously sunk. There was no doubt that Xin Meier's step had triggered the mechanism.

"It shouldn't be... maybe this mechanism has been in disrepair for a long time and broken down?" Xin Meir himself was embarrassed. It was not right for him to retract his foot now, nor was it right for him to continue moving forward.

The maze will not keep the people inside confused for too long. As the rumbling sound behind them became louder and louder, a stone ball that almost filled the entire corridor rolled over from behind, and the speed showed that the power of this stone ball was definitely not small.

"Run!" Haita grabbed Aize who was beside him, carried him on his shoulders and ran forward. Xinmeier and Fulilian followed closely behind, each taking a step forward and running.

Yakumo tried to use a freezing spell to see if he could freeze the stone ball. But it was obvious that the ice produced by the freezing spell was easily crushed by the stone ball. Yakumo had no choice but to run forward.

"That's why I told you not to explore any maze!" Haita screamed as he ran, with Aize on his shoulders. I don't know how this monk could run so fast while carrying someone on his shoulders.

"Haha, this is also a maze exploration.

It's a unique scene." Xin Meier laughed as he ran: "If we run a little further, there may be a fork in the road. The maze's mechanisms are not infinite."

"Ah..." When turning in a downward spiral, Fulilian seemed to hit something with her feet, and she fell forward and fell to the ground.

"Flillian!" Xin Meir stopped, turned around and wanted to pick up Fulillian.

"Xin Meier, keep running." Yakumo quickly turned around, grabbed Fulilian and quickly moved back, and then quickly moved a few more times to catch up with Xin Meier and the others. This time he learned his lesson, started flying, grabbed Fulilian and floated with the others.

"Is this the ability of a magician? It's really enviable." Xin Meir was only surprised for a moment.

"Not all magicians do. I've only seen Yakumo use this ability." Frillian, who no longer had to run, could finally speak. "Also, can you change your position? It's a bit uncomfortable to be caught like this."

"Don't worry so much at this critical moment!" Yakumo projected the map in front of him: "Pay attention to the right ahead, there seems to be a fork in the road, let's go in first!"

After Yakumo said this, everyone noticed that there was indeed a fork in the road more than a hundred meters away. At this time, everyone had already come out of the spiral downward passage. The ground here was still slightly tilted downward, so the stone ball would not stop.

"Okay, Haita, move carefully!" Xinmeier is a brave man, so this sudden turn is no problem. But Haita is a monk, and his physical fitness is not very strong, not to mention that he is carrying Aize.

"Wait for me!" Yakumo moved again, first went to the front to put Furlian down, then came back to grab Xinmei and Haita, took the two of them and moved forward quickly a few steps, then went sideways into the fork in the road.

When Yakumo caught Sinmel and Haita, Frillian seemed to have used some magic, and Yakumo didn't use much force in his hands to catch the two of them.

"It's a magic that makes objects float." Fulilian looked at the stone ball rumbling past her and said, "After all, Haita is very big, so it should be very heavy, right?"

"How rude..." Haita complained immediately.

"However, it's a blessing in disguise, there is actually a treasure chest here." Fulilian pointed behind her, where a wooden box lay quietly, waiting for everyone to open it.
