This time, I won't be the devil.

Frey is not a brave man blessed by the gods. He never expects that he can awaken his power just when facing a crisis.

Therefore, preparing plans for the worst-case scenario in advance is Frey's code of conduct.

Hearing Frey say this, Didoris agreed with him.

"I see. I should thank you for considering this step for the commission."

"Is there anything I can do to help you during the preparations?"

Frey did have one thing to trouble Didorice with.

"In the next few days, I hope you can get along well with Noelle. Oh, and she wants to learn the flute, so why don't you teach her..."

In this way, another week passed, and after making all the necessary preparations, Frey, Noelle, and Tidoris entered the maze together.

Originally, according to Frey's estimation, they should be able to arrive within a day, but because one of the pieces of luggage they were carrying was too large, the marching speed was slowed down.

They finally rested for a night in the Flashing Lake, wiped out an entire lake of blue squids again, and returned to the cemetery the next day.

Once inside the cemetery, it looked much the same as when I last left it.

Arriving at the stone platform at the gate, Didoris carefully observed every detail, and then found the small box where Petrarch's diary was previously placed.

She had something she had to confirm.

After Tidoris locked the old copper lock that Frey had pried open, she took out a key.

"What is this key?"

"It was found on Laura's body, clutched tightly in her hand."

Frey noticed that there was a small wooden sign hanging on the key with the words "Home" written on it.

Didoris inserted it into the brass lock, and as the key turned, the lock opened.

If you think about it carefully, the size of this copper lock is indeed not like one mounted on a box, but more like a door lock.

Moreover, although he could install such an advanced magical device, Petrarch deliberately placed his diary in a small box, which was an unnatural move in itself.

Frey remembered a curious story he had heard while investigating Petrarch.

Petrarch was obviously a wealthy man, but his life was very simple and his house was small and shabby.

Later, due to the serious damage to the house, Petrarch was forced to renovate it, but he insisted on keeping the original doors and locks.

Now it seems that he left the door locked because Laura had a spare key that could open the door.

Apparently, the lock on the box was removed from the door of Petrarch's house, and only Laura could open it normally.

Laura held the key to Petrarch's house until her death. From this perspective, they must have been in love with each other.

"Dido, didn't you say you had a guess about the password of the gate? What is it?" Frey asked.

However, Didoris did not answer immediately. After using Laura's key to unlock Petrarch's house, she fell into deep thought.

After a while, she turned around and said to Frey and Noelle:

"Assuming that Petrarch and Laura really loved each other, what do you think he expected?"

"Why don't we each input the answer to this question in our hearts?"

The reason why Didoris made such a proposal was because Frey had taken the blueprints to consult Brother Dao about the information of this magic device a few days ago.

In the Terra Federation, this kind of magic combination lock is not a rare thing. Unless it is specially customized, the consoles made by craftsmen on the market all use the same universal panel that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

In order to leave room for error, this type of password lock will only lock after three consecutive incorrect entries.

In other words, there are three opportunities to input, just enough for each of them to do so once.

Frey had no objection to this. After all, each person tried it once, and even if they lost wrongly in the end, the pot would be shared equally, which would not easily lead to disputes.

After making up his mind, Frey was the first to walk to the stone platform.

What am I looking forward to?

Looking at this question, Frey put himself into Petrarch as Didorice said.

If he were a wealthy man and fell in love with a long-lived elf, what would he expect?

Frey soon found his own answer.

He pressed the stone keys and typed a nine-letter word:

Longevity

Given Frey's personality, he will take the initiative to find ways to cross the gap in lifespan.

However, after pressing the confirm button, a red light appeared on the stone platform and an X appeared on the crystal panel.

It seems that this is not the correct answer.

Next to the X, there are two empty spaces, which means there are indeed three opportunities to enter.

Next, it was Noelle's turn.

Since Noelle didn't fully understand the situation, Frey explained to her:

"Noelle, if you fall in love with someone, but that person's life span is much longer than yours, what would you do?"

Faced with this question, Noelle gave her own answer.

"I want to be with him forever."

So heavy...

After learning Noelle's answer, Frey typed a word on her behalf since she couldn't read.

Companion

Wanting to spend your limited life with your lover is also a romantic idea.

But as the red light came on, it announced that this answer was also wrong.

At this point, there is only one last chance left, and this task falls on Didoris.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath, patted her cheek, and then made up her mind to type a 9-letter word.

Tidoris's answer was far beyond Frey's expectations.

But a burst of green light showed up, proving that the word was the correct answer.

As the stone door opened, just as Frey had expected, a huge elevator appeared before them.

Below the elevator is the last stop of this commission.

"Are you all ready?" Frey asked.

Didoris and Noelle nodded.

"Then according to Plan D—"

"Buff first."

Frey took out bottle after bottle of potion from his duffel bag and drank it.

[Energy pills], [Burst pills], [Energy drinks]...

Didoris also took out her harp and began to cast auxiliary magic.

[Divine Protection of the Wind], [Exciting Movement], [Sound of Battle]...

Half an hour later, the three people, who had reached their best condition, walked into the elevator.

Frey was finally able to take off one of the two heavy objects on his back.

The switch was turned on, and with a rumbling sound, the elevator began to descend.

When the elevator reached the bottom and there was no obstruction, Frey used his shadow perception to see the underground space clearly.

However, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge monster emitting terrifying pressure.

The monster is 9 meters tall. Its torso is made up of thick white bones, and several complete skulls are embedded in its shoulders.

The skin on its face was as dry as a zombie's, and it wore a crown made of gold on its head.

[Skeleton King, Rank 4]

Just as Frey saw the Skeleton King's appearance clearly, the other party seemed to be prepared and swung out with the huge sword in his hand.

Chapter 43 Remarks on the launch

Hello everyone, I am Canying Wuming, a college student who is about to become a social animal.

I received a notice from the editor that it will be on the shelves tonight.

Although I feel a little regretful that I failed to advance to Sanjiang, I am still very grateful to all the book friends for their support over the past few days.

Thank you all for your reading, rewards, and monthly tickets. I am greatly encouraged every time I see these in the background.

There is also a comment section, where everyone is talented and speaks well. There are a few friends who often complain, and there is also the meme counter. Thank you for your feedback.

I will update 0K after it goes on sale at 5:5, and then update another K in the evening.

Regarding the subsequent update volume, since I'm currently doing an internship, my daily time is really limited, so I'll try to maintain 4 and strive for 6 for now.

There are currently 1.8 collections. Please order 500 for the first order. I will add an update for every 100 more collections, and I will finish updating before the end of the month.

If you like this book, I hope you can subscribe to support it. If it performs well after it is put on the shelves, I will definitely work hard to update it more frequently.

Then let’s talk about the creation of this book.

The reason I wrote this book was to make up for the regrets of the previous book. Now I have a job, so I will finish it regardless of the results, to give myself and this story an explanation.

At present, the outline and details of the entire work, as well as the plot nodes of each stage have been written.

Petrarch's story will end in 4 chapters, the protagonist will gain a new ability, and the next plot related to returning to the sect will be introduced.

Having learned from the lessons of the previous book, the protagonist will no longer be constrained by unsolvable difficulties and forced to take action.

The feedback received after each event is generally positive, and the settings and foreshadowing in the event are explained as clearly as possible, without being a riddle.

The overall style is still mainly abstract and funny. There will be crises, but there will be no deus ex machina, and there will be no plot where the protagonist is forced to lower his intelligence and suffer a setback.

In the next 40 words, you will see the following:

[We are all little monsters, but since I promised to protect you, I will definitely do it]
