Frilian: Starting with Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow, Playing Through the Heavens

"...a godsend opportunity."

Marcus clenched her fists, her spirits lifted.

Because as long as the maze is sealed off, Farin will definitely come back obediently.

She couldn't wait to tell Farin the "good news".

Chapter 149, Arrival on the Island, The Broken Farin; The Winged Lion Appears

Some time later, on the island, in a tavern.

Farin looked completely bewildered by Marucci's words.

"Oh no, how could this be?"

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, her face flushed with nervousness, feeling like she had misheard.

Why is the maze being locked down for no reason?

I haven't heard of any major events happening recently.

aside.

Leos coughed repeatedly, feeling the same way as Farin.

At that moment, he didn't even care that Farin was about to be taken away by Marcus, and hurriedly asked:

"Do you have any inside information?"

"I've lived on this island for two years, why haven't I heard about this?"

Once the maze is sealed off, he estimates he'll be living the life of an unemployed bum.

After all, there are very few mazes that are still operating and making money outside.

He might be able to make money with the skills he'd acquired through training, but he hated taking orders—otherwise, he wouldn't have deserted the army in the first place.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Marcusil clenched her fist and coughed twice, then slowly sat down, pretending to be an adult.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention in the tavern, he deliberately paused for two seconds before slowly speaking:

"Insider information? Of course not, but if you've been in contact with the people who came to the island today, you should know—"

"The Canary's men have arrived."

"You are all seasoned adventurers, so I don't need to spell out what this name represents."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of a third of the people in the tavern changed.

Some even slammed their fists on the table and muttered a curse:

"**!"

The sudden noise startled the Leos siblings, making them tremble.

Farin looked around in a panic, her eyes full of confusion.

"What is a canary?"

I vaguely remember this being a bird, but could it be related to locking down the maze? An explanation was quickly provided.

Upon hearing this, Farin fell into a daze.

“So…” Marlucil looked at Leos, a smug smile playing on her lips.

She, always eager for drama, intensified her attacks on Leos, determined to snatch Farin back in one fell swoop:

"Given their work efficiency, I believe this place will disappear soon."

"When the maze is gone, Farin, what will you do? Wander the streets with your willful brother?"

"As your friend and teacher, I really can't just ignore you."

“Come back with me. I’ll plead with the school on your behalf, and I’ll also help you get a job after you graduate.”

"I may not be rich and powerful for the rest of my life, but at least I will have no problem with food and clothing. It's better than you staying here and not knowing where your next meal will come from."

"..." Farin pursed her lips, her heart filled with conflict, and remained silent.

The sudden news was too much of a shock for her, and she needed time to process it.

Leios tried to interrupt, but the moment he opened his mouth, he was glared at by Marusil with a "fierce" look.

It was as if it was warning him that if he said another word, it would kill him.

Gudong.

Leos swallowed hard, a chill running down his spine, as he truly understood what longevity represented.

Even though the other person looked younger than him, the authority that came with age made him feel immense pressure.

Just then, a commotion erupted from inside the tavern: "Make way! Make way!"

A group of adventurers rushed out of the tavern, their faces filled with urgency, clearly wanting to verify the truth of the matter.

After they left, it took quite a while for the tavern to quiet down.

Seeing this, Farin slowly spoke, breaking the incredibly heavy atmosphere:

"I...I understand, please give me some time to prepare."

Although she knew this might be a well-intentioned lie woven by Marcusier to win her back, she couldn't deceive the other adventurers as well.

So... it's highly likely to be true.

"What time?" Marusil tapped the table impatiently, wishing she could take Farin away right now.

Farin looked up, hesitated, and said, "Time to pack my bags, and time to say goodbye to my friends."

"No matter what, my brother and I lived on the island for two years and made a lot of friends."

"They are just as important to me as you are to Maruccio."

"..." Upon hearing this, Marusil fell silent, and then a blush visibly crept up her cheeks.

"Oh... I see, I understand."

She lowered her head, and although somewhat embarrassed, she took a few deep breaths before looking up and saying,

"If it's to say goodbye to your friends, then there's no other way. Let me go with you."

"I'd also like to see what kind of people your companions are."

"They didn't bully you, did they? Ah, Leos."

It appears to be a question, but it is actually accusatory in tone.

Leos waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, Julang and the others are all very nice people and they take good care of us."

“Really?” Marusil didn’t believe it.

The teachers had said that people in the maze were treacherous, and some would fight over a single grain of rice, not to mention that the name Kikuro sounded very strange.

Of course, she also knew that one should not judge a book by its cover, let alone by its name, so she decided to go and see for herself first.

She rose, gazed at the horizon, gripped her staff tightly, and squinted slightly.

"Let's go."

……

……

"This is my first time entering a living, man-made maze. It's quite lively. Are you sure all your friends are here?"

Inside the labyrinth, Marcusil gazed at the scene before her that resembled an ancient library, a slight ripple stirring within her heart.

She took a deep breath and was surprised to find that there were an unexpectedly large number of tiny sprites in the area.

Beside her, Farin, carrying a backpack, nodded and said:

"Yes, because news of the canary's arrival has spread, everyone wants to take some things with them before they leave."

"Like gold and gems in the dungeon."

"Aren't you bringing it?" Marusil asked, glancing sideways.

"Since you have gems and gold, why hasn't your life improved at all?"

"Is it because you're too weak?"

Farin felt a pang of hurt upon hearing this.

In terms of pure strength, they are indeed somewhat weak.

Because she was not good at offensive magic, and her brother was not good at direct combat swordsmanship.

To become a seasoned adventurer, one needs not only familiarity with the environment and monsters of the place, but also the help of friends.

Even if it's an employment arrangement.

Marcusil, upon learning of this, clicked her tongue softly.

"I knew it."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward. Behind her, listening to her words, Leos felt a pang in his chest, as if he had been scorned.

His face was grim. He covered his mouth, turned slightly to the side, and whispered to Farin beside him:

"Is your friend always this straightforward?"

Farin sighed helplessly, "Pretty much, after all, they are elders."

"And what they said was the truth; their criticism was for our own good."

As the sound faded.

"What are you waiting for? Take me to them now."

Marcus's voice rang out from ahead, and Farin quickly followed, tugging at her brother's clothes to signal him not to be distracted any longer.

Time waits for no one. After saying goodbye, I must leave as soon as possible. From now on, I will have to support my brother on my own.
