Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

However, due to the mutual interests among the five major families, even if Wei Pu Bi Xi learned of such information, he would not report it to Bing Ji Xing Shi Li Er, nor would he cause trouble for the Fei Qi family. He could only choose to protect himself and no longer participate in this maze expedition.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has done his best by telling Vanessa about this matter.

Jiang Ran's mood immediately took a turn for the worse after listening to Vanessa's statement.

('Silver Queen Bee'...isn't that Viviana's title?)

Just four days ago, Jiang Ran was secretly glad that Viviana was not involved in this matter, but now, the problem he least wanted to face was finally placed before him.

"Vanessa, has Young Master Wei Pu figured out why the Feiqi family did this?" Jiang Ran asked.

"He didn't know about this either, and he was confused."

"Yeah……"

Jiang Ran closed his eyes and thought about it.

As one of the five major families, the Feiqi family would never do anything that would be thankless.

Since they are willing to do this even at the cost of offending other families and going against the royal maze instructors, it means that they can gain corresponding huge benefits by doing so.

(It seems that the Scarlet Qi family holds an absolute secret about the "Green Ghost Lair" that only they know.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran basically figured it out.

Since parting with Viviana, Jiang Ran has come to understand a little about the concept of "Son of God".

As the "Son of God" of the Feiqi family, Viviana is the lifeline of the Feiqi family's future. If the Feiqi family is not absolutely sure about this secret operation, it is impossible for Viviana to take the risk.

In other words, although Viviana will enter the "Green Ghost Lair", her life will not be in danger.

It is even possible that this secret operation was actually tailor-made for Viviana.

Therefore, Jiang Ran did not need to follow Viviana into the "Green Ghost Lair" in order to repay her for saving his life.

But... although he understood the reason, Jiang Ran still felt a little unhappy.

(Forget it, I’ll think about this later.)

·

The priority issue Jiang Ran needs to solve now is what to do next for the "three-person team" of him, Heloise and Vanessa.

Now that Weipu Bili has run away, given Vanessa's style, it shouldn't be difficult to convince her to give up this maze.

As for Heloise, her current short-term goal is to become stronger, and her long-term goal is to liberate her fellow tiger people from the hands of the earth ghosts. The "Green Ghost Lair" is not a place she must go to.

Therefore, the three-person team can completely leave the town of Dris and find another place to practice, challenge the second-level trial, and continue to become stronger. Captain Pride can also be called along to prevent him from going to the "Green Ghost Lair" to die in vain.

Thinking about it this way, the only problem is that her conscience would be a little unreliable towards Ice Star Shirley. After all, if she hadn't told the truth, Jiang Ran and the others wouldn't have known so much information about the maze.

(I never thought I would be dragged into the family power struggle so soon...)

Jiang Ran, Vanessa and Heloise discussed for a while and finally came to the conclusion that there were still 9 days before they set out to attack the "Green Ghost Lair". They could hold off for the time being and make a final decision after observing the situation in a few days.

At the same time, in the Feiqi family's mansion, Viviana had just gotten off the carriage with two elders.

Viviana was a little surprised that Albert was not waiting at the door. She was received by other servants and taken back to her room to rest, while the Red and Black Elders went directly to see Lord Scarlet.

They were so anxious and non-stop because of the matter of the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair".

Not long after, Lord Feiqi, Elder Hell-Red Rodrigo, and Elder Dark-Black Augusto, the three pillars of the Feiqi family, gathered in the secret study.

What's funny is that Viviana, the person involved in the next "Maze Project", was excluded by them.

The reason for not calling Viviana was that the three of them believed that Viviana's mind was still too simple, and if she knew the full picture of the "Maze Plan", it would have a negative impact on the implementation of the plan.

·

The "Maze Project" originated from a secret about the "Green Ghost Lair" that the Feiqi family had learned.

The intelligence obtained by the pioneers of the Scarlet Qi family in the "Green Goblin Lair" shows that as long as two of the three teams entering the maze are completely eliminated first, the three goblin bosses in the maze will merge into one, revealing the true form of the maze boss.

Then, when the real boss is defeated, the maze will give out "extra treasures" as rewards, and the value of this "extra treasure" will not be inferior to the treasure for passing the ancient maze.

The three giants of the Feiqi family became very interested in this secret. It happened that the royal family took the initiative to launch a crusade against the "Green Ghost Lair", so they formulated this plan with Viviana as the core.

The Feiqi family has bribed the civil servants sent by the royal family this time, and they will not let the two teams in Dris Town know the real situation.

After all three teams have entered the maze, a part of the Feiqi family's team will be dispersed and specifically responsible for harming the other two teams so that they can be wiped out as soon as possible.

As for the crusade against the "real boss", they did not intend to rely solely on Viviana's strength, but had other plans.

"Two elders, do you think that with Viviana's current strength, she can complete the attack on the Green Ghost Lair with 100% safety?"

In the study, Lord Feiqi didn't exchange pleasantries and directly started the topic of the night.

Following up on this question, the Red and Black Elder first reported to Lord Scarlet Qi on Viviana's growth on the battlefield during this period, and then gave an answer to the question.

"Unfortunately, Viviana's chances of succeeding in defeating the 'True Leader of the Green Ghost Lair' alone are probably only 20%. However, as planned, with 'that method', we can increase this success rate to 100%."

7.11 - Storm is coming

The Feiqi family naturally knew the special mechanism of the maze's difficulty, so they would not do such a stupid thing as "letting the Red and Black Elders join the maze expedition team."

The "method" they were talking about was the "special way to enter the maze" that only they could do.

Regarding this special method, let’s talk about Viviana.

In order to protect the Son of God, Viviana, the Feiqi family engraved a hidden magic circle in her body when she was born.

This magic circle can be triggered in two ways. One is that Viviana activates it herself, and the other is that the magic circle will be automatically triggered when Viviana's life is in danger.

No matter which method triggers the hidden magic circle, the red and black elders will be teleported to Viviana in the first time to protect her safety.

This special teleportation is also applicable even when Viviana is in a maze.

Yes, this hidden magic circle is the "secret strategy" that can make Viviana's crusade success rate become 100%, and this way of entering the maze can also bypass the difficulty rules of the maze. It is not an exaggeration to call it cheating.

It is precisely because of this cheating method, coupled with the huge temptation of benefits, that the Feiqi family would not hesitate to offend other forces in order to let Viviana attack the "Green Ghost Lair".

·

"Okay, then let's proceed as planned."

Lord Feiqi nodded. He had absolute trust in Elder Honghei, his right-hand men.

"Understood...By the way, Lord, there is news that there may be some minor problems in Dris Town."

The Red Prison Elder Rodrigo synchronized a new intelligence. He said that among the maze conquerors in Dris Town, the nobles with status have already evacuated after receiving the news they leaked.

Although the nobles have a tacit understanding of taking care of each other and keeping secrets, Ice Star Shirley will probably still notice something.

If Ice Star Shirley were to make trouble about this matter, it might cause some trouble.

"Ice Star Shirley... She's not the kind of idiot who would mess with us nobles for the lives of commoners, right?"

Lord Feiqi tapped his fingers on the table. He was not afraid that Ice Star Shirley would cause trouble, but if unnecessary "misunderstandings" arose between him and the royal family, it would still give him a headache.

"Normally, she shouldn't, but... just in case, I suggest we give her a way out."

There was a cunning light flashing in the turbid eyes of the Dark Elder Augusto. The old man had a lot of experience in conspiracy and intrigue.

"Oh? What stairs?" Lord Feiqi asked curiously.

Elder Minghei smiled and expressed his thoughts.

After listening to Elder Minghei's idea, Lord Feiqi and Elder Yuhong all agreed and began to cooperate with him in making relevant preparations overnight.

[Maze clearing remaining: 8 days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 24 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

On the outskirts of Dris Town, a magician with a beautiful appearance but a cold temperament is practicing special detection magic in the open wilderness.

Ever since she "lost" to the boy named Fike last time, Ice Star Shirley has stepped up her practice of detection magic and is determined not to make the same mistake again.

Shirley thought about it and reviewed the situation many times. She believed that she lost because she failed to grasp Fei Ke's whereabouts in real time.

Shirley originally thought that since the entire exterior of the building was frozen by her, it would be impossible for her to miss her opponent in this closed interior space.

However, Fike successfully disappeared from her sight with a strange smoke illusion, and he escaped from the house without breaking the ice.

In this regard, Shirley could only think that this kid Fike must have the ability to teleport his body, such as teleportation.

A skill like teleportation is a coveted skill no matter which combat profession you are in.

After losing to such a skill, Shirley could only say that she had underestimated it.

Moreover, Shirley also believed that this kid Fike should have other skills that were no less powerful than teleportation - this speculation had no basis, it was just her intuition.

·

Shirley is not bragging, her intuition has always been accurate.

·

——(I really want to call this guy out for a sparring match...)

As a practical magician, Shirley is quite addicted to fighting, which is why she gave Fike and the others the "Ten-Second Challenge" a few days ago.

But now, she couldn't do what she wanted, because the captain of the first team, Wei Pu Bi Xi, ran away overnight.

Although Shirley is young, she is smart and experienced.

Even if it was just a guess, Shirley could guess what the eldest son of the Green Lizard family running away overnight meant.

Next, as long as Vanessa leaves with them, Shirley can conclude that the Feiqi family is definitely plotting something in secret.

In order to deal with this possible situation, Shirley found the head of the Pam branch and asked her to help call Fike over.

Shirley is not the type to sit still and wait for death.

When Branch Chief Pame found Jiang Ran, Jiang Ran was having lunch with Heloise in the restaurant.

Jiang Ran wondered if Branch Chief Pame was still obsessed with Branch Chief Oleg, so he wanted to find out about his old lover's current situation through him.

But after the head of the Pame branch spoke, Jiang Ran gave up this insignificant idea because he knew he was in big trouble.

"Lady Shirley, do you want to see me now?"

Jiang Ran deliberately repeated what Branch Chief Pame said so that Vanessa, who was not far away, could also hear it.

"Yes, she said something urgent. Could you come with me to see her now?"

(Is it urgent?)

Jiang Ran guessed that if Shirley wanted to find him at this time, it must be something related to the maze, and it was probably not a good thing...

However, since she has already named me, there is no way to avoid this matter.

"Heloise, keep eating. Branch Chief Pame and I are going to the Mission Guild."

Jiang Ran also said this to Vanessa who was not far away. He could probably guess that Shirley just wanted to talk to him alone.

Heloise was simple-minded. She nodded without thinking too much and continued eating.

Vanessa, who was also eating nearby, looked at Fig thoughtfully until Fig and Branch Chief Pam left the door.

Jiang Ran followed Branch Chief Pame all the way to the second floor of the Mission Union. Ice Star Shirley was already waiting in Branch Chief Pame's office.
