big trouble???

Art was a little confused, but before he could figure it out, he saw the old wizard in blue robes who called himself "Edgeworth" say with a serious face:

"You kid, just stand where you are and don't come over. No, you retreat to the corner."

"Oh..." Although Art hasn't figured out why the other party reacted so strongly and seems to be very afraid of something on his body, he can also see that the old man has no hostility towards him.

After letting down his guard against the old man's previous guess, he obediently retreated to the corner.

Edgeworth watched Art retreat to the corner, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered:

"...What kind of monster are you, kid..."

"what did you say?"

"Just listen and listen! You have no right to speak!" Edgeworth said.

"Oh." Art nodded, and then calmed the crow servants and Promi through spiritual contact. After feeling their anxiety subsided, he looked at Edgeworth without saying a word.

He had felt a little strange before, why he chose to go to the wandering troll's maze to spawn monsters and upgrade - compared to the closed underground, the outer forest was obviously safer. Although there were few monsters outside and it was difficult to find, but

You can choose to meditate on the spot, rely on the crow servants to search, find the monster and cripple it, and then do the last-ditch damage yourself.

Even if he didn't clean up the forest, but chose to break into the maze, such behavior would not be in line with his approach.

Breaking into the maze and sweeping around the doors was somewhat different from his thoughts - according to his character, he should have chosen to send Prome or a crow servant into the maze and launch attacks against the walls of the maze.

Attack, luring the wandering trolls out, and then ambushing him outside to launch the attack.

This is the safest and most secure way. Going into the maze to clean up, although it looks similar, is actually a reckless behavior for him who has a very poor sense of security.

This is the first strange point... Because he often uses the spell of Charm Humans, his behavior is abnormal, which reminds him of the situation where he used Charm Humans to interfere with his judgment.

The second strange point is that I am trapped in a maze——

The crow servants who had been monitoring the outside did not find anything unusual. Inside the maze, Prome and the other crow servants did not find anything unusual, so they were locked up. He could not find it himself. The crow servants

and Prome were unable to discover it, which meant that the power that locked them in the maze could lock them in without them being aware of it at all.

The third point, which is also derived from the second point, is that the strength of the maze is incompatible with the combat power of the maze.

Let’s not talk about the strength required to lock the door without them knowing it. Let’s talk about the strength of the maze, which is different from the situation——

The power required to seal the maze would undoubtedly be able to kill them all.

Art has no doubt about this, but the other party did not do this... In other words, the person who locked the maze did not have the idea of ​​​​killing them, or in other words, he did not have the idea of ​​​​killing them for the time being.

For what? What to get from him? Or is there no hostility towards him?

Even if locking the maze is just some kind of triggering mechanism, then, as the next link of the triggering mechanism, the wandering trolls who are inseparable from the maze, and there are nearly a thousand of them, why don't they attack the birdman like they did?

They attack, but let them kill?

The fourth point is also related to the third point - that is, why did these wandering trolls attack the giant birdman? In other words, the birdman is probably not part of the maze's defense mechanism, or rather

...

The power to lock the maze does not come from the wandering maze itself?

And this was confirmed in Art's test.

After he discovered that the second exit was also locked, he noticed something unusual, and then deliberately said something——

"It can trap us in the maze. Such a powerful force should be able to kill us directly. But until now, only the Wandering Troll has attacked us..."

As a result, the giant birdman appeared not long after he finished speaking.

To be honest, he never thought that such a simple test would succeed.

Fifth:

The appearance of nearly a thousand wandering trolls proved the second and third points. Such a huge force did not attack him after the maze was locked. Instead, the target of the attack was the giant birdman.

Point 6: The location where the giant birdman appeared. He checked the location where the birdman appeared.

The birdman is very large, but where she appears, there are no signs of damage to the surrounding maze walls.

The birdman seemed to be released out of thin air.

Perhaps there was some cage-like space that imprisoned this powerful birdman in a certain space in the maze, but subsequent observations of the birdman made him rule out this idea.

The armor on Birdman's body is very new, it doesn't look like it was from a long time ago, and Birdman's manic mood doesn't look like he has been imprisoned for a long time. The period of imprisonment should not be long...

There is also something wrong with Birdman's intelligence.

Although her reactions and attacks were all correct,... Art didn't see any tendency to escape from her throughout the whole process...

A series of doubts made Art gradually form an idea in his mind——

The existence that trapped him in the maze was the existence that released the Birdman, and it had nothing to do with the maze itself. Combined with the fact that he had no sense of crisis at all...

A line gradually becomes clear.

As for the last words about "Halloran", it was just a flash of inspiration. He could only guess that this person might not be hostile to him, and he could not guess the identity at all.

He himself had never heard of this "great wizard proficient in alchemy, prophecy, conjuration, life, and creation" called "Edgeworth".

In fact, he was still confused about alchemy - except for the sage state after carving the inscriptions, he spent almost no time reading books.

Even though he knew these things were important, they couldn't help him quickly develop his strength, and his priority was left behind.

Edgeworth, on the other hand, looked at his lucky ring with a pained expression...

Now he finally understood why the old bastard Fast paid him mostly for refining materials for prophecy props...

Damn Fast had expected this!

Damn Fast! Same as Rosa! You guys with long ears are really bad!

Edgeworth was on the verge of tears as he calculated the difference between his current losses and his compensation...
