Chapter 10, The Maze

Two hours later—"Now I should... (sneak a glance at the map) Right, it seems to be heading east, heading east..."

The queen expressed her appreciation for Ade's polite demeanor, issuing a few commands. Immediately, several little fairies flew towards a distant oak tree, and from afar, voices of argument could be heard: "What are you doing with my new carpet? Stop! My lunch!" "Nonsense, it is the queen's command!"

"Well, thank you, but there's no need for the stable." Ade put Lulu into his pocket, shouted loudly, and hoisted Brigitte onto his shoulder as he walked upstairs: "They will sleep in the guest room; how can drinking guests sleep in the stable? It would tarnish our reputation, Cedric"

The issue is not this, right? Lulu

Brigitte responded affirmatively and began to rush towards the town: "Is it not a big deal to lose the mission scroll?"

Rest assured! Lulu flew to Biji's head: "I will lead the way... but why is your stuff thrown on the ground?"

Ad and Beatrice were walking along the road when they opened the parchment. A flash of golden light passed by, and the words on the scroll changed: Congratulations on completing your first task. Now you must subdue an Eulabode. The unicorn's resistance to lightning will assist you in successfully completing this task. The Eulabode is of royal lineage among the forest fairies, skilled in lightning magic, and possesses wind attributes. She is crucial to the next task, so please ensure its completion.

Thank you, Biji, become a human! I want to kiss you!

So beautiful! Apart from the songs sung by Xitan, I have never heard such a song before, and no one else can dance to it as well as Xitan! It has been a long time since I heard such a song! I really miss her! Also Chunmei, Zumuerde, I must hurry and reunite with them soon! The song evoked a multitude of memories for Ade, leaving him entranced.

Dear guests from afar, I sincerely apologize for the trouble Lulu has caused you. This child always gets lost, truly, and still needs someone to bring her back

"Let me out!" The little sprite struggled desperately inside: "I have a phobia of darkness! Help!"

"Stop arguing, I know where it is!" Suddenly, Biji spoke up, "Let's go to my house first! We're almost there!"

Lulu's complexion turned a shade resembling that of a pig's liver: "Lightning Strike! Lightning Strike! Fatal Blow! Lightning Strike!"

Welcome back! The queen smiled as she sent Ade away, bringing the pale-faced Lulu back to the palace

Alas! It is not that convenient! Adé briefly mentioned parts he had never told Cindy before, "I cannot question my father like a vagabond, so I must become a knight!"

The issue does not lie here! Ade is concerned about Lulu's education at the fairy's place, "What is this?"

Before long, the guards returned carrying a rolled item, which was indeed Adé's sheepskin scroll. However, it was smeared with something like honey, making it somewhat sticky, likely due to the guards overturning the dining table during the scuffle.

Still not ready, wait a moment. Ade found a floral dress of Cindy's and draped it over the cage, then picked it up and walked out alone, saying, "You all take a break for a while, I will be back soon"

Look, I told you, they can't find anything valuable at all

Lulu stared blankly as Ade kissed the transformed human Beatrice, and suddenly exclaimed: "What's so special! I have such a gem too! Windproof one hundred percent!"

Is it really this outrageous! Savior? Not only do I have to endure her nagging day and night after signing the contract, but I also have to strive to save the world. It's not worth it!

No, it is necessary to feed high-quality bread

"What a disgrace, they are just country bumpkins who can't find anything valuable!"

Uh, it's too dark, I can't see the map clearly... Wow! You can't leave me behind!

Sing it again, but this time more seriously

Of course it's your home! Your home! All my belongings have been taken away by you!

Isn't it something you picked up? Come over and have something to eat

Adé took Cedric, secured the Euler box, and headed to find Cindy

I am immensely grateful to Your Majesty for the *illustrated* book!" Adé bowed to the queen, while a commotion came from the treetops: "Princess, why are you moving the dining table right after you got lost?"

You two, aware of your capabilities, should exercise a bit more restraint next time

Adé smiled and said, "No!"

Adé was too preoccupied to pay her any attention: "Beatrice, dignified..."

It is of no concern, we have hostages. If necessary, consult a doctor and then inquire with Xilu Da.

Wow, so beautiful, truly a unicorn! Just as beautiful as its name! So cute! It can even be jealous! Let's feed it some carrots!

Call me Lulu

Princess, you have been lost for quite a long time this time, for three days...

I am Euler Bod! I can hear the sound even while asleep!

"Well, guests," the queen said, "thank you for bringing back the lost little girl. Please accept this as a token of my gratitude!"

Lulu flew down from the treetops, panting heavily, and said to Ade: "I didn't lie to you, the wind resistance attribute increases by one hundred percent, consider it as compensation for your pants. We are even now"

The fairies immediately changed their attitude: "Wow! What excellent swordsmanship! We were just about to return it to its rightful owner, and you showed up." Seeing that Ade seemed skeptical, they quickly changed the subject: "The weather is really nice today! Ah—! What is that?"

Brigitte sensed Ad's urgency and quickened her pace. Soon, two loaves of bread appeared on the road, singing: "Bread, bread, I love to eat! ... ..." Brigitte swept past them, and Ad jabbed at the loaves with his Plak, spearing them on his sword. Immediately, two little fairies screamed and flew out from under the bread, escaping. Ad extended the sword to Brigitte's mouth, and she took one, while he ate another, continuing to hurry forward. The little fairies shouted behind them: "Thief! Thief!"

The next day, under the guidance of other little fairies (who had been knocked out by Lulu the previous night), Ade successfully found the dwelling of the Fairy Kingdom—the largest oak grove in the forest, where countless forest fairies were flying about.

Euler happily followed Ade.

Brigitte leaped out from behind the bushes, blocking the transportation route of the fairies with Adé in tow

Do not worry, once the seeds are sown, they will grow as resiliently as these roses. From now on, let your songs fill the mountains and forests—this is far more pleasant than tearing your pants!

Delicious! Delicious!

In the time it took Ade to turn around, a large group had already left without a single person remaining

I am not lost! Lulu shouted as she flew up to the treetops

Wow, aren't you drunk

Adé was furious: "Stop right there!"

"Cedric, let's settle the bill!" Adé smiled wryly for a moment; no matter how much Lulu ate, there was a limit, but Brigitte had drunk an entire barrel of wine. At this moment, both of them had round bellies and were completely drunk.

I am a little duck

At last, the culprit has appeared—a solitary female fairy stands before me, still holding half a pair of trousers in her hand, singing in the same tune as the song of the bread: "Trousers, trousers, I like to tear..."

What is it?

Of course ... ... no, my clothes can't sound that nice, ah, ah, shall I sing for you? I am a little duck, quack quack ... ...

Cindy and Beatrice listened quietly, while the black-haired Eulalia in the cage had unknowingly woken up. After listening to the story for a while, she expressed her opinion: "What happened next? By the way, could I also have a portion of bread and wine?"

What happened again

The fairies' attitude was quite firm: "Hey! On what basis do you claim it as yours? It clearly belongs to us! You're not much bigger than us! Brothers, let's all go at it together!"

Your Majesty, it seems that the princess has encountered quite a bit of distress this time due to getting lost

Dear, take a look at this..." Cindy took out a sample of armor, "This is a sample, what do you think? Our iron smelting technology is far superior to others, and with the bellows technology you mentioned, we can produce very strong steel that is not bulky yet very sturdy. The pattern is like this..." Our iron smelting technology is far superior to others, and with the bellows technology you mentioned, we can produce very strong steel that is not bulky yet very sturdy. The pattern is like this..."

Sapphire, with a 100% lightning resistance attribute! Beiji further explained: "It is refined from the secretions within my body, and you can embed it in your armor"

Please think carefully

Oh, is she very noisy? Indeed, it's not worth it, Cedric surprisingly understood: "I came here to make a fortune precisely because my wife is too noisy... In any case, let's close it up for now!" Cedric found a golden cage that turned out to be quite suitable: "It used to hold crickets, so it should be just right, heavy and sturdy, after all, it's meant for something very noisy..."

Lulu vanished in a flash, leaving only the queen and her maidens standing in place, lost in thought

"Wait a moment!" Euler was flustered, "I am working for you to repay my debts..."

"You are a prisoner! You still haven't compensated me for my clothes!" Ade found the fairies' audacity amusing, but the black-haired Aura gave her a very cute, silly impression

Lulu no longer has the strength for "Lightning"; she is lying on her mother's lap, while the queen is troubled by the loss of the dining table: "Bring it over! What is it?"

You, you still haven't given me the promised bread and wine

I am not lost... Lulu is on the verge of tears...

It looks good

You also knocked me out! I only tore your pants, so it should be even! That sound was really pleasant! I couldn't help it. Oula Bode believes it is unfair and argues based on reason.

The little fairy turned around and saw Ade charging over with great momentum, and boldly said, "I tear my own things, what business is it of yours!" She then noticed that Ade was sitting bare on the back of a unicorn and immediately realized it was inappropriate: "Is it yours?"

Oh, how about jam bread paired with wine

Thank you, sweetheart, but a certain weight is still necessary; otherwise, the weapon will be too heavy to stand steady. Additionally, try to make the joints flexible and appropriately use some leather armor materials... Oh, by the way, "Ad took out the family crest, 'I want a large shield, with the pattern according to this..."

You see, as long as you take it seriously, you can sing very well. " Ade opened the cage door, " They are quite satisfied too!

Eulabode is a member of the royal family of forest fairies, possessing lightning magic and powerful detection abilities, capable of uncovering various hidden traps and treasures. Many high-ranking knights aspire to obtain one to evade traps during their adventures, while Jewish merchants utilize her for treasure hunting. In short, she is a valuable asset, and her black hair is particularly rare. It is also said that the savior always appears alongside the black-haired Eulabode. Sign the contract quickly! Sign the contract quickly!

In the midst of speaking, Beatrice anxiously rushed into the cave and began to dig under a pile of hay until a sapphire emerged from the ground, at which point she let out a sigh of relief. She brought the sapphire over and handed it to Ade.

Wow! I apologize... continuously, little fairies are struck down by lightning, while the remaining ones flee in panic

Is it my singing that has moved you? Shouldn't you let me go back?

Then, please follow me. I will report to Her Majesty the Queen. I am truly sorry for the princess's constant trouble to others. Next time the princess gets lost, I hope you will...

Brigitte's home is a nice cave, but it seems that someone is here at the moment—"Wow, how can there be so many good things in this cave? Hurry, move, move..." "What about the princess's whereabouts?" "Don't worry, the king will understand when he sees all this... Besides, the princess might not have been captured; she is naturally directionally challenged..."

Good! Today we make way for distinguished guests! Euler and Unicorn, enjoy half price on the full meal, along with a complimentary stable!" Cedric announced loudly

Of course! It's just that my status at www.hetushu.com is quite esteemed, and I rarely go out myself! Can you give me a bit of confidence?

That is the palace, which is my home, and that oak tree represents Burke Town, while that is Hua Province... Lulu was busy introducing her country, and every tree was either a "town" or a "province." "It is not the harvest season now; otherwise, I would invite you to enjoy acorns. Ah, Uncle Shaker..."

In the hotel, Lulu and Biji indulged in a lavish feast, their manners quite unrefined, prompting much discussion among the onlookers. Ade, Cindy, and Ken exchanged glances, while Cedric appeared rather pleased: "Why not eat a bit more and add some wine?"

Where exactly are we?

I am not lost, I have already said, I am not lost

In simple terms, Bijie is a mare

"In this case, it would be disrespectful to decline! Thank you very much! We take our leave, Your Majesty!" Considering that the queen's treasury could not afford to treat them to lunch, Ade took the initiative to bid farewell.

Thunder and lightning

In the palace made from the oak hollow of the Fairy Kingdom— "Princess, you seem startled. It must have been difficult to find your way back, right? Please have something to eat to calm your nerves"

Ugh... my head hurts! Lulu has finally woken up, and Beatrice is running a bit unsteadily.

Wow! Impressive!" Ade jumped off the horse and admired the possessions of Biji, who had been chosen by the little fairies—a large carrot, scattered apples, and a basket filled with some mushrooms. "Are you moving hamsters?"

We are working on our abs, yes, working on our abs. Next time, I will arrange a private room for you. Now take me to find my things! Be more spirited!

Don't be ridiculous, if you really become king, I might as well change my profession to shepherding! The king can marry a shepherdess, and no one can interfere!

Much better

Suddenly, a significant lightning strike occurred, but Beatrice's lightning resistance came into play, as the lightning was entirely absorbed by the horns on her head. Adé sat upright on the horse, merely startled by the event.

Where to find

Uh, that is also for the sake of the abdominal muscles

This ... ... Plantagenet dynasty, are you really a prince

"Is this really what I have done?" The liberated Euler could hardly believe everything before his eyes: "Is this truly my accomplishment?"

What! What are we doing!" Ade and Biji were both stunned, "Do we have to go back? How do we even start? If only we had known that we should have signed forcibly! What do we do now?"

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for bringing the lost Princess back. On behalf of the Queen, I extend my greetings to you all

Hmm, it seems she truly does not get lost in her own home..." Ade was whispering with Beatrice when the Queen's polite demeanor prompted Ade to quickly dismount and bow: "Your Excellency, the esteemed Queen, this is merely a small favor. I hope to retrieve a piece of parchment that was taken by the residents of the kingdom as a lost item while I was bathing. Perhaps it is currently in a hurry to find its owner, which is why I have taken the liberty to come here, and I hope you can forgive my boldness..." I hope to retrieve a piece of parchment that was taken by the residents of the kingdom as a lost item while I was bathing. Perhaps it is currently in a hurry to find its owner, which is why I have taken the liberty to come here, and I hope you can forgive my boldness...

"It's so noisy!" Ade inserted Plak into it, and the ruby on the sword emitted a faint glow, which quieted the little fairy for a moment. However, the little fairy then exclaimed, "Let me out! I'm starving! I need food!" Ade pushed a small piece of bread inside, which silenced the little fairy for a while, but she shouted again, "How can I eat this stinky thing! The air is really bad; I need to relieve myself!"

Damn it! Ade was played once, but the most important thing is that Plak has been found again. Ade gently patted Bijie's neck twice, expressing praise: "You did well! Let's go find something else!"

Warriors lying here, regardless of the reasons for your descent, rest in peace! This is all I, a mere passerby, can do for you... With Ade's comforting words, the roses silently bloomed, and the thorns of the books dispersed. The sunlight illuminated each gravestone, sweeping away the cold atmosphere of the cemetery, leaving only the fragrance of roses filling the entire hill.

Change to another song, one with a gentle melody, please. Afterward, I will grant you your freedom, and I hope you enjoy a hearty meal.

Be careful! Cindy smiled and waved at them

Indeed... I hope she doesn't get lost again...

Brigitte charged forward, and Ad pulled Plack up with one hand, shouting loudly as he swung his sword to the side. In an instant, a gust of sword wind mixed with flames swept through, and a small tree several meters away snapped in response, immediately catching fire with a crackling sound.

Mom, I am back! I brought a friend

Big fool

Are you really Euler's treasure?

The song sung by Euler had lasted for a long time, and as it reached its climax, the chill gradually dissipated. When the singing stopped, Ade abruptly tore away the veil that covered the cage, and the intense sunlight temporarily blinded her. "Ah—!" When she finally saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but be taken aback—the entire hillside was filled with crude graves, stretching endlessly, with crosses and thorns being the only sights here.

Oh, that makes sense!" Cedric laughed heartily.

"Indeed! Your singing voice possesses a sacred power." Ade nodded and said, "Remarkable little one... Go back, and do not forget the feeling of singing today. May you always be a happy little sprite"

"Oh, but I returned to the town bare, how about you strip down for fairness?" Ade, feeling a spark of childhood mischief, decided to tease her

Boss, do you know her background

Cindy! I brought back a new girlfriend!

Dear ... ... why is this horse biting me

Ah—! With a scream, a large diamond fell from the top of the tree. Fortunately, Ade was looking up and caught it, avoiding having it directly embedded in his head

Is the sound of tearing pants really that pleasant

Little Fairy: "Look over there..."

But, but, ... ...

As the saying goes, one can endure a thousand criticisms but not flattery. Biqi is quite innocent; under the temptation of compliments and delicious food, she immediately became very friendly towards Cindy

Watching the two figures fade into the distance, the doctor, shrouded in black gauze, slowly emerged from behind the rose bushes and softly said, "Thank you, thank you..." His voice was unexpectedly choked with emotion

Two days later, Ade bid farewell to Cindy and re-entered the forest

Adair, however, seemed to have made a discovery, lost in thought and silent

Next, pieces of Ade's tunic appeared along the roadside, causing him great distress, as the chainmail was a gift from Wayne. Now it was being torn apart like this, with rings and plates scattered everywhere, along with fragments of the inner cloth. What drove Ade even more frantic was that soon fragments of his trousers also appeared. Ade was seething with anger; now he would have to return home in the nude.

"Ha! Your outfit today is the most fashionable one, Your Highness Norman!" Cedric said with a smile, staring at Ad. Ken immediately brought a clean set of clothes for Ad: "Shut up, you old fool, are you itching for a fight!"

I fear forgetting this feeling

"Is it because of eating pollen that one becomes so adorable? It's either not as slender as a butterfly or takes on the barrel shape of a bee." Lulu, engrossed in eating, illustrated this point very convincingly.

New Dishes! Honey-coated Golden Tortoise! Also, Honey Ants, Honey Earthworms!

But I sing that one song I am best at

My name is Boleinata Xia Lilu Wugemilulu

The return of Ade caused a great sensation in the town, with people eagerly coming to see the unicorn, which made Brigitte feel very shy. The unicorn is inherently an introverted creature, and Brigitte hid behind Ade, refusing to let anyone touch her.

I cannot live without bread and wine! Goodbye, Mother! I am going to pursue my happiness! De—! Wait for me!

But, but, and the books

"Lulu, why did you smash the dining table?" The queen was perplexed by her daughter's actions

I am not lost! Lightning!

Adé nodded.

Adele: "It's so cliché!"

Ade took out the fainted little fairy to have a look and noticed that this one was different from the others, as the others had a pair of butterfly wings, while this one had four transparent dragonfly wings, which were quite beautiful, with black hair and a bit of headgear. Ade wrapped it back into his waistband, prodding it with his sword, and returned to the town as if carrying a burden.

Do not ask anymore, the prince cannot marry the blacksmith, you would not wish for that

Ade: "I have a way to solve this!" He gently patted Plak's burden on the tree, and it immediately fell silent

Alright! Ad laughed, "If you don't want to leave yet, then come with me. However, after you finish this bowl of rice, it might be quite difficult..."

Wow! Why is there differential treatment?

"Beatrice, how about we return to town? We need clothes and food; there are many things that are even more delicious than bread!"

In fact, you no longer owe me anything, so take it back

Aren't you eating pollen? Adé found it quite unbelievable

Cedric was accustomed to Ken's rudeness, but the little fairy that Ad brought back took him by surprise: "This, a black-haired Oula! How did you get this? You haven't signed the contract yet, hurry up and sign it!"

Most of Beatrice's collection consists of dried and fresh fruits. Ade felt somewhat sad and went outside to hunt a wild boar to roast, only to find that all three of them loved it. Ade once again proved that unicorns are omnivorous, reflecting in his heart: "It must have been because they couldn't eat it raw before! I hope they don't upset their stomachs." Lulu was even more exaggerated: "Bring me another piece! I've been wanting to take a bite of this big fellow!"

Ad could not understand this little sprite at all, perhaps it was a bit lacking in common sense! The pants were thrown on the ground, to be precise, it was just a pair of pant legs. Ad picked up the pant legs with his sword, calmly tied them together, and in one swift motion, ensnared the little sprite like a butterfly net.

Ola was surprised by Ada's attitude. After thinking for a moment, she chose a song and began to sing earnestly. A truly beautiful voice emanated from the cage; Ola's voice was powerful, incongruent with her physical size. This was a song depicting the moon and pure love, a melody of the Elven race that had once been widely circulated. The singing was melodious and resonant, like the strings of a harp plucking at the depths of the soul, and everything around seemed to fall silent, all listening to this rare and exquisite sound.

The singing was melodious and resonant, like the strings of a harp plucking at the depths of the soul, and everything around seemed to fall silent, all listening to this rare and exquisite sound

"I am not lost..." Lulu shouted.

Ad and Beatrice followed the furious Lulu towards the capital oak, while the poor old man Shaker fell from the sky in circles

I know, I know! Lulu flew onto Ade's shoulder: "But what were you and Cindy doing all night? It was so noisy!"

... ... very pleasant to hear, call me De

With the sound of a call, a small ceremonial guard surrounded the elegantly dressed queen, appearing before Ade, her crown faintly discernible atop her head. Two little fairies flew overhead carrying a basket, scattering some flower petals down.

The little fairy picked up a small twig and flew to Ade's head: "Die! Ultimate attack!"

Brigitte continued to pursue along the road. After a while, Ade's bag appeared by the roadside, but it was empty. "We must find the parchment, or we will not know the next task!"

Little Fairy: "Thunder Strike!"

Dear, you frightened her. Cindy felt a bit soft-hearted

What! Lulu struggled to get up and suddenly screamed hysterically, startling the queen and all the maidens.

Euler Bod felt the light soften, no one was watching, and she was no longer afraid. After a while, Ade seemed to have hung the cage on a branch, and a floral fragrance wafted around, but there was also a slight chill that felt somewhat eerie, making her feel a bit uncomfortable
