I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Once again, Fulilian was rescued from being bitten by the treasure chest monster.

No matter how patient you are, you will eventually get bored.

"It seems there are no grimoires here..."

Sitting on the ground in a duck-like posture, Fulilian wiped the saliva belonging to the treasure chest monster from her head.

Xin Meier folded his arms across his chest, looking a little listless. Beside him, Aize also spoke with a bit of patience running out: "You've been looking for it for so long and still haven't found it?"

However, Fulilian smiled back at this.

"If success is so easy, can it still be called an adventure?"

Xin Meier was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Jian also smiled softly with his hands covering his mouth: "Isn't this what Xin Meier just said?"

"Also... the more difficulties you encounter during an adventure, the better the wine tastes afterward."

Fulilian looked at Haita with a smile, "Isn't this what Haita said?"

Aize nodded. "That sounds like something Haita would say."

Xinmeier and Haita looked at each other, then smiled knowingly.

Xin Meier: "That's right. The greater the difficulty, the better. That's what makes it exciting."

Haita: "Let's have a drink together when we get back... After an adventure, it's best to drink together."

Ash: "I can't drink..."

Aize: "If it's Ash, just drink juice when the time comes."

Jian sighed helplessly, "I feel like I'm being treated like a child..."

Continuing to go deeper into the maze, when passing a corner, Jian and others found another treasure chest lying alone in the corner, with no one paying attention to it.

Several people watched as Fulilian ran to open the treasure chest with brisk steps, and then was swallowed by the treasure chest monster. Then she began to swing her legs and frantically asked for help from Ash and others.

After rescuing Fulilian, the few of them looked at the treasure chest monster that gradually turned into ashes and disappeared, with a thoughtful look on their faces.

"There are so many treasure chest monsters in this maze, it's endless."

Haita frowned slightly, feeling that this was not a solution.

"If you just want to distinguish between treasure chests and treasure chest monsters, there are other ways."

Jian placed his index finger on his lips and said gravely, "If we use fire to smoke it, it will probably reveal its weakness."

"That won't work."

Fulilian immediately objected to Jian's suggestion, "If there's a magic book inside, wouldn't it be burned if we use fire?"

"This elf is really troublesome..."

Aize made such a complaint.

Haita nodded in agreement. "Exactly. It would be great if Fulilian could be as worry-free as Ash."

Xin Meier: "Speaking of which...there's a big gap between Ash and Fulilian."

Aize: "Normal doesn't look like an elf at all."

Ash: "How many elves have you seen in your life? And you dare to say I don't look like an elf."

Aize: "Do you think you are an elf?"

Ash: “Not really.”

Haita said embarrassedly: "So you also feel that you are not like..."

"Zhen will help me a lot in the future."

Fulilian said this, a smile as warm as spring on her face. "Eighty years later, for some reason, I set out on this journey again... Jian suddenly joined me halfway... Later I always think, if Jian hadn't come along, some of the situations I encountered during the journey would have caused me a lot of headaches, right?"

Turning her head, Fulilian glanced at Jian out of the corner of her eye. "Every time I think of this, I want to say thank you...

The lake-like light blue eyes blinked, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Jian's mouth, like a breeze blowing across the green fields in spring.

"You're welcome."

"And Haita and Aize."

Fulilian turned her gaze towards Haita and Aize again. The faces of Fieren and Shuttark appeared in her mind, and her expression softened unconsciously. "You two have helped me a lot."

Haita smiled helplessly, but his eyes were filled with a bit of joy and doting, "Really, please explain it more clearly... I don't understand at all."

Aize also nodded. "Although I don't understand it, but... I still enjoy listening to it."

"What about me? What about me? Fulilian."

Xin Meier said impatiently: "You haven't mentioned me yet."

Looking at Xinmeier, Fulilian smiled gently.

"You've given me a lot of motivation."

Blinking, Xin Meir's mouth corners slightly raised, and his gentle smile was like the sunlight falling in the ancient city, hazy and warm.

"That's really nice."

Xin Meier smiled and lifted his hair, saying narcissistically: "It seems that the bronze statues of various poses that I worked hard to leave behind are meaningful."

"maybe……"

Haita said, "But could you not spend a whole day deciding which position to use?"

Ash: "The way that craftsman looked at us last time, it really made me want to kill us. Especially when Xinmeier changed his posture over thirty times before returning to his original posture."

Aize: "I also feel very sorry for those craftsmen..."

When talking about this topic, Fulilian's eyes became empty.

"That was such a long wait..."

Ash: "Flillian's eyes are dead..."

Haita: "Sinmer is truly terrifying, as the elves would say this..."

Xin Meier scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, but... I won't give up. In order to properly preserve my beauty for future generations, the bronze statue must be perfect."

Aize: "Where does your enthusiasm come from..."

In response to this question, Xin Meir just smiled calmly and did not answer.

Since Xin Meir was not going to explain, the others cooperated and stopped asking further questions.

The exploration continues.

Walking down the cracked stone stairs, they soon reached the deepest part of the maze.

"This is probably the bottom of this maze."

Jian took a look at the surrounding environment and made a judgment based on his previous experience in exploring mazes.

Haita: "There's only one room on this floor."

Xin Meier: "Then the pocket watch you're looking for should be inside."

Aize: "It would be much easier if there were no monsters inside."

However, the goddess did not seem to hear Aize's expectations.

Behind the gate was a huge cylindrical room with several black monsters lurking in it.

After Xin Meir and others entered the room, these monsters began to release extremely strong malice towards them, forcing them to immediately adopt a combat posture.

Jian suppressed the urge to sigh and said speechlessly, "Hasn't this maze been explored by several groups of adventurers? Forget about those treasure chest monsters before, why do we still encounter monsters here..."

Xin Meier had already drawn his sword from its scabbard. Although a smile played on his lips, his eyes were as sharp as a sword. "It's been a long time since the last group of adventurers explored this maze. It's not surprising that a monster would take advantage of this opportunity to claim this place for themselves."

The monsters weren't numerous and weren't very threatening, so Haita could still crack a few jokes with ease. "If it had been me instead of Aize who said that outside the door, perhaps the outcome would have been completely different. After all, my devotion to the goddess is obvious to all. Perhaps the goddess would listen to the prayers of a believer like me."

The corners of Jian's mouth twitched, and he said strangely, "Wow... this guy who drinks and eats meat and doesn't look like a monk at all actually calls himself pious."

The process of defeating monsters was quite easy, nothing much to say.

There wasn't even a speck of dust on Xinmei's cloak.

"Now that the monster has been dealt with, let's quickly search for that pocket watch."

Putting the sword into the scabbard, Xin Meir raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him, but found that the number of people was wrong.

"...Where did Fulilian go again?"

“It’s so dark! So scary!”

Why were you swallowed by the treasure chest monster again?!

……

"Fulillian!"

After rescuing Frillian from the treasure chest monster for who knows how many times today, Xin Meier stood in front of Frillian, who was kneeling on the ground, with his hands on his hips, intending to give her a good talk.

However, before Xin Meier could speak, Fulilian took out something from her arms.

A silver pocket watch.

Looking at the silver pocket watch held in Fulilian's palm, Xin Meir was stunned.

"this is……"

"I found the pocket watch the client was looking for."

Hearing this, several others gathered around.

After inspection, they confirmed that this was indeed the pocket watch they were looking for.

"I never thought that the pocket watch we were looking for was actually inside the treasure chest monster."

Haita stroked his chin, thinking that this development was truly bizarre. "No wonder those adventurers who had explored this maze before never found it."

"Except for Fulilian, no one else can find this pocket watch."

Aize was also amazed, "Should we say that fate is really magical?"

Although it was a blind cat catching a dead mouse, at this moment, Fulilian was so proud that she almost forgot her own last name.

"Hehehe! I'm the real hero this time. It's because of me that we were able to find this pocket watch."

"I know, I know. Look how proud you are of me."

Since it was indeed all thanks to Freellian that the pocket watch was found, Xinmeier could no longer scold Freellian for being "frequently eaten by treasure chest monsters."

After coming out of the maze, Fulilian suddenly sighed with regret.

"There are so many treasure chests in this maze, but not a single one contains a magic book..."

Hearing this, Jian shrugged.

"Nine out of ten things in life are disappointing. Because you didn't find the grimoire you were looking for here, you're looking forward to the next adventure... Isn't that what travel is all about?"

Looking at the smile on Jian's face, Fulilian was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"That's right..."

……

In order to allow Frelian to return to her own era, the brave team continues to collect information related to the Goddess Monument.

However, little was gained.

Jian was the first to walk out of the dilapidated building. He looked up at the starry night sky above his head and murmured.

"It's getting dark again..."

"After all, there's no useful information about the Goddess Monument in this ruin..."

Xin Mei'er followed behind Jian, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

This is normal. After all, in order to enter this ruins, they had just fought a hard battle with the monsters that occupied this ruins as their lair.

After killing those troublesome monsters, they immediately entered the ruins and searched for information about the Goddess Monument in a pile of old and yellowed books, searching until dark.

“The books here are really hard to read…”

Fulilian drooped her arms and said listlessly, "I still like reading magic books..."
