Ning Qiao shrugged slightly. She didn't know what the game was trying to do, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Most of the remaining soldiers returned to their guard positions, but four soldiers did not leave and just stood by.

Ayala frowned and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The leading soldier immediately bowed his head and responded: "For the princess's safety, the Pharaoh specially asked us to be close to her for protection. Please forgive me, princess."

Ayala knew that it was useless to refuse these people who had been arranged to come here, so she just let them go.

He turned around and took Feng Chan and others to his bedroom.

When they reached the door, the soldier wanted to follow him in, but Ayala turned around, her face full of displeasure: "What? You want to enter my bedroom too? Are you going to follow me even when I'm taking a shower or sleeping?"

The soldier hastily apologized: "I dare not, it's just that the princess's friend just arrived here, so it's inevitable that I might offend her."

Ayala: "You are really offending me now. Am I the princess or are you the princess?"

Seeing that the soldier didn't dare to answer, she snorted coldly and gave the two maids a look, and they immediately closed the door.

The heavy wooden door creaked slightly as it closed tightly, seemingly blocking out any sounds from outside.

Ayala's bedroom was very large, with carpets throughout. The whole house was filled with golden furniture and ornaments, inlaid with various brightly colored gems. It was several times more luxurious than the room Feng Chan and the others had stayed in before.

A gray Abyssinian cat came bouncing over, and Ayala immediately picked it up and stroked its fur. Although she was stroking the cat's fur, her own expression felt much more comfortable.

"Please sit down." She walked to a chair not far away.

The four of them sat down and the maids immediately brought various fruits and cakes from the side.

Ayala waved her hand back, and the two maids immediately walked towards the door, but did not go out, but just guarded inside.

"Are there any restrictions on you here? Why were they able to use all kinds of methods just now, but now they can only be controlled." Ayala guessed the truth after looking at Lihua's team.

The four of them were silent and awkward, which was considered as tacit agreement. There was no point in hiding it now, as other players would come out later.

Ayala's expression was complicated, excited but also sad.

"Is the outside world endless? Is there a sun god?" She had many questions in her mind. The scene she just saw in the garden and the invisible attack when Feng Chan saved her at the beginning were not something that this country could produce.

"It's hard for us to say about the Sun God, but the world is indeed endless." Feng Chan replied.

Ayala: "What does NPC mean?"

Although she didn't understand the meaning of the word, from the man's tone, she knew it wasn't a nice name, as if she was inherently inferior to him.

Feng Chan: "NPC can mean many things. Here you can think of it as everyone being ordinary. No matter how powerful or powerful one is, everyone will die."

"Really?" Ayala whispered to herself, then asked a new question, "What is your purpose in coming here? Your strength is greatly weakened now. You need my help, and I need your help too."

What she said was quite straightforward. Although the four imprisoned people could not provide her with military-like help, they had a lot of good things that would always be useful.

It’s a pity that the ten dead people should have had a lot of weapons in their hands, and they should have all been taken away by Damonze’s men at this moment, so she can’t get them.

Yuzu: "No matter what your purpose is, we are now in the same boat. We will help you fulfill your wish."

In fact, Yuzu herself is not sure what they should do is right. If the princess loses, they will immediately turn against her. It's just a copy, they won't risk their lives, passing the level is the most important thing.

The game doesn't give any hints, so they can only guess from the conversations between these NPCs.

Ayala smiled trustingly. "Thank you. Do you have any other people? Or do you keep coming out of the maze?"

She was not a fool, so she would not completely trust the four people just because of one sentence. She just had to maintain superficial harmony. Moreover, from the current perspective, they did intend to help her, but she was not sure how long they would help her.

"There are quite a lot of people, there should be hundreds of them, but we don't know them." Ning Qiao finally found a topic to talk about.

Ayala had her own considerations. If possible, she would definitely want more help, but Damonze's people were already guarding the place, so it was difficult for her to reach in.

It’s okay to have neither side, but we can’t let either side get help from the remaining hundreds of people.

"@¥%*&..." She spoke a strange language to the two maids at the door, and the game didn't even translate it.

Soon one of the maids responded and went out.

Qiao Zhi: "What did you say?"

Ayala took a sip of the juice in front of her and said, "As long as we destroy the maze, they won't be able to get out."

The four of them looked at each other. This might work, but Qiao Zhi actually wanted more people to cause more chaos. Even if they helped Ayala fulfill her wish now, without enough force, she might want to keep the team behind or kill them afterwards.

"You said before that if we help you realize your wish, you would be willing to give us the most precious thing in your country. What is that thing?" Feng Chan asked at an inappropriate time.

Ayala was stunned, rubbing the golden cup in her hand. She had originally wanted to give up that thing in exchange because she was impressed by Feng Chan's elusiveness, but now their abilities have been greatly reduced, so it is not worth the price.

"The Pharaoh's scepter." Ayala stopped what she was doing and said with a smile. The Pharaoh had more than one scepter. The scepter she was referring to now had changed from the one that had been passed down to just any scepter.

Almost every pharaoh would customize his own scepter, but the one that best represents his status is the sun scepter from ancient times to the present. It is said that it was cast by the sun god himself, and whoever owns it represents the recognition of the sun god.

The four of them more or less saw the truth in what Princess Ayala said, but now they were not in an advantageous position and could only go along with it.

Both sides have their own ulterior motives and maintain a fragile cooperation.

Ayala: "What else do you have? I will consider when to take action."

"I can attack both close and long distance, I just need a suitable position." Qiao Zhi spoke first. She had a bow and arrow as well as a gun, so she could attack both close and long distance.

In comparison, Feng Chan and the other two seemed to have nothing to show for themselves without their props, and were only slightly better than ordinary people in every aspect.

Ning Qiao smiled awkwardly: "The three of us can protect you."

They still have blue and green knives, which are much sharper than the spears here.

Ayala was silent. It turned out that only one of the four people was truly talented and capable.

The three of them were quite helpless. The game gave them so many props and weapons, but they were not allowed to use them when they entered the dungeon. Who could they complain to?

After a while, the maid came back with a large plate of fruit.

"Princess, I've already notified everyone. I heard two more waves of people came out from the garden, probably no more than 20 people, and they've all been captured. The strange thing is that there are no caves in the maze."
