Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Alphonse did not contact Master Scott directly; they had only met once and were not very familiar with each other.

But it was different with his elven butler, Stasia. After all, he had taught her the Heavenly Ecstasy Technique, which gave her the opportunity to win over Master Scott and forge a friendship with him.

The communication prism responded quickly.

A languid image of Stasia appeared on the communication prism.

"Little Alphonse, what do you want with your sister? It's getting late. Don't you know it's very impolite to disturb a lady's sleep?"

Leo and Linna seemed to be seeing magical communication for the first time, and they were both extremely surprised, staring intently at the beautiful long-eared elf on the prism.

"Excuse me." Alphonse smiled, not intending to continue the pleasantries, and went straight to the point, "Sister Stasia, do you know how someone turned to stone by the petrifying spider can be restored?"

"Then we must find the elven treasure, the Fountain of Life," Stasia replied without hesitation. "Do you have any friends who have been petrified by the Spider Queen?"

"Yes! Does Brother Scott have the Fountain of Life among his collection?" Alphonse asked himself again.

Stasia shook her head. "No, the Fountain of Life that can heal everything is a very strange spring. Once it leaves the spring under the World Tree, it will lose its power within half a day and become ordinary water. Whether it is stored in a spatial artifact or any other container, it cannot prevent the loss of its power."

He then sighed softly, "I am now a traitor to the Elven race and can no longer set foot in Gratris. I can't help you with this matter."

Alphonse hadn't expected the Fountain of Life to be such a strange thing. "Isn't there any other way to remove the Spider Queen's petrification?"

"No." Stasia shook her head again.

Alphonse could only thank him, disconnect the communication, and then dial the Holy Dragon Edson.

Edson gave the same answer: although his holy healing magic could dispel curses, it had no effect on the strange power of the petrifying spider queen.

According to him, the petrifying spiders were not particularly difficult monsters to deal with. The queen spider's petrifying rays could be easily dodged by strong individuals with slightly higher power levels, and they would not be hit at all. Although strange, they were not a problem.

The two men's answers left Alphonse in a state of distress, as it seemed that the only options left besides breaking into the Elf Kingdom were to seek help from Wein.

If Wayne were to use Divine Descent, surely a god like the God of Light wouldn't be stumped by a monster's petrifying ray.

Thinking of this, Alphonse felt a little more at ease.

Regardless, let's find Taisi, who has turned into a stone statue, first, and then make further plans.

Help someone to the very end, and see them through to the end.

Alphonse simply wrote down the formula for the Longevity Technique and gave it to Linna.

I've already checked, and the meridians of minotaurs are not much different from those of humans, so Linna should be able to learn this technique.

The two sisters had done a great service to Taisi, and naturally they should repay her in kind.

Mia took over the task of teaching Linnai to identify acupoints and helping her circulate her qi.

The entire Minotaur tribe was immersed in a celebratory atmosphere. Leo had also drunk quite a bit and was reeking of alcohol. Asking her to lead the way to the petrifying spider's lair in the dead of night was a bit of a stretch.

We'll have to wait another night for Leo to rest.

At dawn, Alphonse got up early.

Only then did they realize that Linna seemed to have not slept all night, and was still sitting there cross-legged practicing her internal energy.

The slightest noise startled Linna, and she opened her eyes.

"Aren't you asleep?" Alphonse asked casually.

"I can't sleep. I never thought my illness could be completely cured. Thank you!" Linna stood up.

"You thanked me many times last night." Alphonse glanced around.

Mia had also woken up by this time. Her senses were exceptionally sharp, and she hadn't been sleeping too soundly.

Mahaya and Leo were still fast asleep, with Leo even snoring softly.

Linna suddenly asked, "Can I see what you really look like?"

Alphonse thought about it for a moment and realized it wasn't really a problem.

He nodded, took the Transformation Pearl out of his pocket, and placed it aside.

Without the disguise of the Transformation Orb, a human youth with a gloomy temperament and handsome appearance suddenly appeared before Linnai's eyes.

Linna stared intently at Alphonse, as if trying to etch his image deep into her heart.

Alphonse felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he picked up the magic orb and put it back in his pocket.

Mia is already awakening Leo and Mahaya.

"Can you tell me your real identity?" Linna asked again.

"Alphonse Tartarus, Lord of the Coldwind Territory of the Kingdom of Bastian." Alphonse didn't see anything to hide; Linna only needed to ask Leo to find out the information.

Linna suddenly stepped forward, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles in Alphonse's clothes, and said softly, "I wish you all the best."

After she finished speaking, she began to sing softly.

It wasn't in a common language; the ancient syllables, accompanied by a melodious singing voice, created a strange effect.

This also seems to be a form of witchcraft.

Alphonse immediately felt his mind become exceptionally clear, and his body seemed lighter.

Alphonse had no lingering affection for his nominal wife.

The man who held the wedding ceremony with her was Alphonse, a mountain minotaur, not Alphonse, a human.

With Linna watching them go, Alphonse and his group left the sacrificial tower.

In the square, many minotaurs lay sprawled out.

The rare celebration made them all drunk.

Leo had to bring her warhammer before she could set off, so Alphonse and the other two had no choice but to go home with her.

Leo not only took the warhammer, but also Tessie's cooking notes.

Before undergoing petrification, Tessi didn't know if he would be able to be resurrected. He hoped that Leo could pass on the cooking recipes he had recorded.

Alphonse then put the notebook away.

This time, Leo did not wear her armor.

Only after asking did I learn that her armor did not serve a protective function. It was made of an alloy and was extremely heavy. She wore it daily only to train herself while bearing the weight.

Just as they left the labyrinth town, Alphonse suddenly heard a distant call from behind, "Everyone, please wait a moment!"

Alphonse turned his head and saw that it was Ganges, the chieftain of the fox clan, and his birdman friend who had caught up with him.

"Are you leaving already?" Ganges walked up quickly and asked.

As Alphonse pondered whether he should make up an excuse, Leo spoke her mind, "No, Alphonse is going to see a friend with me."

Leo now has a particularly good impression of Gangus. It was because Gangus gave her the Transformation Orb that Alphonse and Mia were able to transform into minotaurs and win the tournament, thus avoiding a fight with her father and tribe and the situation where she had to flee with her sister.

"I thought you guys were leaving, Alphonse," Ganges laughed.

"Just tell me straight, is there anything I can help you with?" Alphonse was always clear about right and wrong; Ganges had helped him, and he felt he should repay him. (End of Chapter)
