So, has Fike found out?

Regarding this question, Shirley's intuition was that this boy had probably completed his mission;

So, what will Fei Ke ask himself to do?

When Shirley thought of this, she always had an ominous premonition for some reason.

When Shirley first met Fike in the town of Driss, the only person who was inseparable from him was the tiger girl Heloise. But just a few days later, Vanessa from the Snow Deer family also fell into his clutches.

It’s terrible, it’s really terrible!

Based on Shirley's perspective on people, this guy Fei Ke is definitely a pervert!

——(Fortunately, I added the rule of "don't do anything that harms others"...)

—(If he dares to make unreasonable demands of me, then I will... freeze his tools...!)

Thinking about these things about Fike, Shirley's mental state improved a lot unconsciously. Perhaps it was the anger that cheered her body up.

Unfortunately, anger is not omnipotent, and the effect of "restricted magic power" is still on Shirley.

However, as long as the poison is not fatal, she can rely on time and wait for her body to detoxify and recover.

——(Once I can use magic again, I will definitely let those wolf pups know the power of the Ice Star...!)

——(Also, I will make the Scarlet Qi family pay for their mischief in the labyrinth this time...!)

Shirley, who was lying on the horse's back, could only make harsh words in her heart to comfort herself.

[Confession death countdown remaining: 16 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

In the Kingdom of Wester, in the territory of the Feiqi family, Viviana, who had just evacuated from the entrance of the maze not long ago, is now receiving treatment from the clergy in the church.

After the negative effects of magic loss were purified, Viviana proposed to postpone the treatment. She was eager to go to the entrance of the maze and wait for the two elders to return.

The priest accepted her request, helped her with some simple emergency measures, and then sent her back to the entrance of the maze.

The waiting process was extremely difficult. Viviana felt every second was like an eternity and was looking forward to it impatiently.

She desperately wanted to enter the maze again to help the two elders and Banning escape danger, but she knew that even if she went in, she would only be a burden to everyone and might even ruin all their efforts.

So the only thing she could do was wait.

After learning that Viviana had escaped from the maze, Lord Feiqi's servants quickly came to the scene to find her. After understanding the situation inside the maze, they immediately set out to report to Lord Feiqi.

Viviana was wondering, after Lord Scarlet Qi learned about the situation, would he enter the maze to rescue the Red and Black Elders?

However, if the lord enters the maze, won’t the strength of the monsters in the maze increase a lot?

Isn’t this a dilemma?

Although Viviana did not understand the full picture of the plan, she knew that the current situation was definitely a serious incident that was beyond the plan.

The Feiqi family has never encountered such a dangerous situation in its actions!

As time passed, more and more people knew that something had happened in the maze.

More and more onlookers gathered near the entrance of the maze. However, even with so many people around her, Viviana only felt lonely and helpless.

Among so many people, no one could help the Red and Black Elder, let alone help Banning.

Fortunately, just when Viviana was almost in despair, flames suddenly appeared at the entrance of the maze, and then two old men, covered in bruises, emerged from the flames one after another.

"Elder Yuhong!"

"Elder Minghei!"

Viviana rushed towards them like a madman, and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time finally burst out at this moment.

She wanted to hug the two elderly teachers, but after seeing the bloody wounds on their bodies, she could only stand there with shaking hands, and then burst into tears.

The two elders were lying on the ground at this time. When they saw that the Son of God was still so energetic, they both smiled bitterly.

The onlookers were all shocked to see that the two elders were so seriously injured. It was not until Viviana cried and asked them to call the clergy for help that people reacted belatedly. Some ran to the church, and some came forward to provide emergency treatment to the two elders.

·

During this maze expedition, Elder Yuhong lost both legs below the knees, and Elder Minghei lost an arm. In addition, their internal organs and tissues also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Even if the priests treated them immediately, Lord Feiqi's two right-hand men would probably be unable to fight for a long time.

Viviana's injuries were relatively minor, mostly just skin injuries. After receiving treatment in the church, they would heal naturally in a few days.

Except for these three people, all other hired personnel of the Feiqi family who participated in the maze expedition were killed.

The casualties were already a heavy loss to the Feiqi family, but what was even more unacceptable to the Feiqi family was that after paying a huge price this time, they returned empty-handed.

After hearing the news, Lord Feiqi rushed to the scene to comfort the three survivors, and then learned the reason for the failure from the Red and Black Elders.

From this day on, a name was added to the Feiqi family's revenge list, and that name was: "Snake Shadow Society".

·

·

In the church's treatment room, Viviana brought fruit to the two elders.

Before this, she had asked the two elders about Banning's whereabouts, and the elders' answer was that they did not see the boy escape with their own eyes, but judging from the situation at the time, he should have taken the opportunity to escape from the maze.

Knowing that Banning was fine, Viviana felt relieved. In order to avoid suspicion, she took the initiative to bring up another topic.

"Two elders, how did the Snake Shadow Society know that we were going to conquer the maze today?"

Viviana's question sounded stupid to the Red and Black Elder, but there were some points worth discussing.

Elder Yuhong told Viviana that for this expedition to the Green Ghost Lair in the Labyrinth, the Green Lizard Family's territory had sent out a message long ago to recruit members of the expedition team. With so many people involved, it was inevitable that the news would leak out.

Given that one of the entrances to the Green Ghost's lair is located within the Feiqi family's territory, if the Snake Shadow intends to target the Feiqi family, they can indeed sneak into the maze on the day of the attack.

However, the fact that Viviana and the three red and black elders would enter the maze was an absolute secret on the Feiqi family's side. They had always lied to the outside world that they were sending a team of second-level personnel, including the list of personnel submitted to the attack instructor, Ice Star, Shirley.

However, the Snake Shadow Society sent out a figure of the caliber of "Blood-sucking Serpent Orlosk." It was obvious that they made such an arrangement after knowing in advance about the maze conquerors of the Scarlet Qi family.

"So, I have come up with two doubts."

Elder Yuhong raised two fingers.

8.09 - Two Doubts (Part )

If Elder Yuhong had not analyzed them one by one, Viviana would not have noticed that there were so many details in the maze incident.

During this unexpected crusade, Viviana spent the first half trying to accomplish her mission and the second half trying to find ways to evacuate. She had no time to observe and think about these things.

All I can say is that ginger is still spicy.

Then, among the two doubts pointed out by Elder Yuhong, one point directly touched Viviana's heart.

·

Elder Yuhong first cleared his throat, then lowered his voice and pointed out two doubts.

"First, how do you think the news leaked out? ... Is there a traitor among the higher-ups in our Feiqi family?"

When saying this, Elder Yuhong had absolute trust in Elder Minghei and Viviana, and had no intention of testing them at all.

Then, Elder Yu Hong mentioned the second doubt.

"Secondly, why would the Snake Shadow Society come to ruin our cause? The Snake Shadow Society may be powerful, but our Crimson Clan isn't one to be easily provoked. It wouldn't make sense if there weren't interests at stake here... To be a bit more daring, I even suspect they stole the Pigeon Blood Red Stone, Filia."

When she heard about the pigeon blood red stone, Viviana's body shook uncontrollably - if the pigeon blood red stone had not been stolen, the result of this maze expedition should not have been like this.

Ever since the pigeon blood red stone was stolen, Viviana was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out or a bird with its wings broken. Although she was trying to adapt and improve her fighting style, the feeling of falling from a great height was really unpleasant.

It was too early for Viviana to discuss conspiracies and intrigues. The Red and Black Elders actually understood this. However, people always had to grow up, so they deliberately brought up this topic in front of Viviana.

·

The discussion continues.

The two doubts raised by Elder Yuhong were immediately supported by Elder Minghei, and he also expanded his understanding.

Elder Minghei said bluntly that if it was the Snake Shadow Society that stole the pigeon blood red stone at that time, then all the disasters that the Feiqi family had encountered during this period seemed to be able to be explained together.

He believed that a certain force was colluding with the Snake Shadow Society with the intention of destroying the Feiqi family. Only in this way could the Snake Shadow Society's behavior of brazenly breaking into the maze and launching an attack today be explained.

"A certain force? Augusto, you might as well be frank."

Elder Yuhong certainly understood what Elder Minghei meant, but he also needed to make Viviana understand the interests involved.

Elder Minghei smiled meaningfully, and then pointed it out directly.

"For years, ice and fire have been incompatible. The ones who want our Feiqi family destroyed the most are undoubtedly those deer bastards from the Xueji family."

While expressing his own guess, Elder Minghei also analyzed the entire series of events.

Elder Minghei guessed that the fuse of the whole incident was most likely that "Vivianna's identity as the "Son of God" was leaked to the Snow Deer Family by an "insider". In order to destroy the Feiqi Family's plan to train the Son of God, the Snow Deer Family found the "Snake Shadow Society" to cooperate.

Elder Minghei couldn't guess what benefits the Snow Deer Clan had given to the Snake Shadow Society, but choosing the Snake Shadow Society as the "perpetrator" was undoubtedly an excellent way to keep the Snow Deer Clan hiding in the dark.

Since the Feiqi family did a very good job of protecting and keeping Viviana confidential, the Snake Shadow Society could not attack Viviana directly, but they found another entry point, which was the pigeon blood red stone.

The pigeon blood red stone was stolen, and the Feiqi family was equivalent to losing half of their son of God. After falling into a passive position, the Feiqi family's next actions would be easily calculated by the "Snow Deer Family" and the "Snake Shadow Society" - not to mention that there is an insider who has not yet been caught and is still continuing to leak information.

"Having lost the Pigeon Blood Red Stone, the best solution for the Feiqi Family is to seek out the Divination Rabbit Spirit to divine the whereabouts of the Pigeon Blood Red Stone."

"After being scammed out of a large sum of money by the Divination Rabbit Spirit, the Feiqi family will likely try to recover some of their losses by conquering the maze."

"Our actions, step by step, are truly straightforward."

After Elder Minghei finished his speculation, he felt that it was absolutely true. The only thing he lacked now was evidence that the Snow Deer Family had contact with the Snake Shadow Society.

Elder Yuhong nodded frequently after hearing this. Although he didn't say it out loud just now, what he thought in his heart was actually similar to what Elder Minghei thought.

The only person at the scene who was stunned was Viviana.

She didn't expect that these seemingly independent things were actually connected, and she didn't expect that there would be a traitor in the united Feiqi family.

"Then... who could the traitor be?"

Viviana couldn't imagine who among the senior members of the Feiqi family would do such a terrible thing.

Although there are some disagreements among the family members, the Feiqi family has always been united in fighting against foreign enemies.

"Hahaha, don't be so nervous, Viviana. These are just my guesses. Before we have evidence, we shouldn't doubt our own people."

Elder Minghei touched Viviana's head. The purpose of his saying these words to Elder Yuhong was to warn this girl who was absorbed in the battle, but he would stop when it was enough.

As for finding out the traitor and dealing with external enemies, which are tasks that require ruthless people, then of course the Red and Black duo are responsible.

"Okay, let's talk about something else. What's going on with that kid named 'Banning' that you're concerned about?"

Elder Yuhong put aside his usual seriousness at this time and smiled rarely, while Elder Minghei beside him also looked kind.

Viviana was originally worried that the two elders would ask about this matter, but now seeing how kind they looked, she was no longer so nervous.

However, despite being naive, Viviana's little head is quite smart. She will not tell the whole truth without any precautions. She will only selectively say some parts that will not bring her punishment.

"I met him when I went to Gude Town to look for the pigeon blood red stone. At that time, I couldn't find the way in the forest, and he happened to be hunting nearby. That's when I learned his name."

"I was quite surprised to meet him in the maze this time."

After hearing Viviana's answer, the Red and Black Elders still had a smile on their faces, but they were thinking: How could such a coincidence happen in this world? I don't believe it! This kid Banning is definitely suspicious!

"Which family does Benning come from? He seems quite capable despite being young," asked Elder Yuhong.

"He seems to be just a commoner, from a place called Ella Village, located between Gude Town and Shadou Canyon."

Viviana answered truthfully based on her memory, but her honest answer only increased the suspicion of the two elders, making the following questions even more sinister.
