I raise elves in Florian

"Yes, I was right. My years of experience as a mage tell me that this contains a precious grimoire."

Frillie stroked the treasure chest with a mysterious expression and then reached out to open the lid. But instead of a precious magic book, a mimic opened its mouth wide and swallowed Frillie whole.

Shi Yichen and Philon were already used to this scene, but Yubel and Jianze looked on in shock as Frillie was swallowed by the mimic.

A legendary mage was actually eaten by a mimic monster; if word got out, people would laugh their heads off.

"It's so dark! I'm so scared! Ah! Ah! Ah! It's so dark, I'm so scared! Yichen, where are you? Please come and save me!"

Frillie Lu kept thrashing her legs outside, screaming and begging Shi Yichen to rescue her.

"Who told you to be so disobedient? Philen already told you it's a mimic."

Seeing this, Shi Yichen stepped forward and patted Frilian's little bottom, but did not make Frilian come out.

"Yichen, get me out of here quickly!"

Frillie continued to struggle inside the mimic's mouth, and Shi Yichen rescued her from it.

"What's the big deal?"

"Did I follow the wrong person?"

Yubel and Jane watched this scene speechlessly. How could anyone be fooled by a mimicry? Especially a legendary mage like Frilian.

"Really."

Shi Yichen gently tapped the mimic, and it shattered into pieces. Frilian sat down on the ground again, and Philon took out a towel to fix Frilian's hair.

Everything went smoothly for Shi Yichen, but it was a different story for the other teams. The traps and mechanisms in the Tomb of the Fallen King were enough to give them a hard time.

Moreover, you might die before you can break the bottle containing the puppet; a slight misstep in this place can be fatal.

"Well, let's continue."

Shi Yichen looked at Frilian and the others and said that the group of five continued to explore the maze. Even things like gargoyles were eliminated by Philon and Yubel, while Shi Yichen and Frilian watched from the side.

. . . . . .

Deep within the labyrinth.

All the clones began to roam around the maze, and the clones could act in groups or solo.

Only Shi Yichen and his clones remained in the most important place. Only by defeating their clones can the monsters deep in the labyrinth be eliminated.

This is also the monster's cleverness: placing two of its strongest clones in front of it to protect itself, making it very difficult to kill the monster.

. . . . . .

"It went more smoothly than I expected."

Philon looked at the unobstructed maze; it was nothing like the one he had heard about.

"Indeed, it's strange that no one has been able to conquer a maze of this difficulty."

Frilian was also puzzled. There were only some small monsters along the way, nothing else. What was the difference between this and an ordinary maze? It was hard for Frilian to believe that no one could conquer a maze of this level.

“Structurally speaking, we are close to the deepest part. In any case, we must not be careless. Let’s rest after we find the next tomb chamber.”

Despite her doubts, the labyrinth, which had remained unconquered for decades, exuded a dangerous aura, making Frilian wary.

"They found something but didn't say it was good."

In the tomb, Frilian took out everything she had collected and piled it up.

"But to me they all look like junk."

Felene stared speechlessly at the pile of strange-looking things on the ground, wondering why Frilian found these things so unusual.

"Umm..."

Jian Ze watched this scene speechlessly.

"There's nothing I can do, Frilian just loves collecting these things."

Shi Yichen sat to the side, smiling as he watched Frilian, gently stroking Yubel's little head, which was resting on her lap.

Yubel rested her head on Shi Yichen's lap and buried it in his chest. She didn't care about any of that; what she wanted was to spend time with her teacher.

"I really don't understand."

Jane glanced at the happy-looking Frillie, then at Philon sitting next to her. Philon seemed too calm, as if she wasn't interested in anything.

"Yeah, they actually got happy because of those things, and even rubbed them on their faces."

Philen said helplessly, "I don't know how long this stuff has been sitting here, but Frilian is still rubbing it on her face."

“What I don’t understand is you, Philon. I have never seen a mage as young and so outstanding as you. You must have gone through countless training sessions, but I can’t feel your passion and dedication. It’s unbelievable.”

Jane looked at Philon sitting to the side and said, "Philan is very talented, but Jane didn't feel any love for magic from her, even though she has always persisted in practicing magic."

"I became a capable mage to repay a debt of gratitude to someone. That was my life goal at the time. I was only focused on giving it my all and never thought about the future. I think I had already exhausted all my passion and obsession back then."

From the very beginning, Philon was only trying to repay Haita for saving her life, because Haita wanted her to become a capable mage.

That's why she started practicing magic and got to where she is now. It's all thanks to Shi Yichen and Frilian's guidance to Philon; otherwise, Philon wouldn't have grown so quickly.

"Then why do you continue to seek magic?"

Jian Ze looked at Philon and asked.

"Lady Frillien seems very happy, doesn't she?"

Philon watched as Frilian happily picked up and examined each item.

"Yes!"

Jane followed Philon's gaze and looked at Frillie.

"When I first entered the labyrinth, Lady Frilian collected a lot of broken magical tools and was laughing very happily. Looking at her, I couldn't help but laugh. I must like Lady Frilian's happy appearance to follow her in her pursuit of magic."

Looking at Frilian's appearance, Philon couldn't help but recall the first time she, Shi Yichen, and Frilian entered the maze. Back then, Frilian was just like she was now, collecting a lot of junk.

But seeing Frilian's childlike joy, Philon smiled gently. Perhaps that's why she's stayed with Frilian all this time.

"And what about Lord Shi Yichen?"

Jane continued to ask Philon.

"Lord Shi Yichen is like a mother to me. She has always taken good care of me. Both Lady Frilian and Lord Shi Yichen are my family."
