"But why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
"I want you to sleep a little longer."
When Will said this, he seemed to hide something in his hand under the table. This action was very deliberate and Leah could see it at a glance.
"Are you...are you hiding something from me -"
She walked down, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, leaned against Will again, and finally got what he had in his hand...
letter.
But no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a blank sheet of paper.
She raised her head and looked at it repeatedly under the light. Before she could see any clues, Will took it away.
"Okay, Liz must have been waiting for a long time, let's go find her right away."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Liz's room, Leah moved her small blackboard over so that Will could easily explain the "conclusions" he gave.
"So...is this the location where Ya'er might become the BOSS you calculated?"
Holding her hands, Liz looked at the small blackboard in front of her and the "conclusion" given by Will.
On a distribution map of Entak Dungeon, each dungeon is marked with the distribution of monsters, and their birth times are also written in it.
"Yes."
"What about the process?"
"Look here."
Will pointed to the map.
Most of the dungeons have been marked with an "X", and only a few have been "ticked" first.
"The first step is to filter out the dungeons that I know will contain Ya'er's monster form. In this step alone, there are twenty or thirty."
The reason for this step is simple. Based on the original work that Will knows, he is the only one who can determine what kind of monster Ya'er's new personality will become - even the witch doesn't know this.
But...he also didn't expect that this kind of monster, which was very handsome in the original work, was actually so numerous in the dungeon. No wonder Li Weiqi, who calls herself the "Awakened One", should also know what kind of monster Ya'er is in now, but she can't give Ya'er's information to the witch in time.
Of course, there may be another reason why Li Weiqi failed to find...
Not all of the various elite bosses and even emperors in the dungeon were willing to reveal their names, and the record officer of the Adventurers Association was extremely careless and did not record the name of every monster.
"..."
Liz didn't speak. She folded her hands, reminding Will of the old professor he faced who was strict but couldn't find any loopholes in him when he was defending his graduation thesis at Entak First College.
"What's the reason?"
Liz frowned and seemed to be hesitating, but she still asked the question.
"The reason is, I know. The way to know is that I was not born here, and there is information from the outside world - in order to increase your credibility, you can understand it as similar to the ancient magic book held by the witch. Something, just understand the message.”
"...Okay. But after this step of screening, what about the second step?"
Liz's "okay" was very reluctant. For a rigorous scholar like the Witch, Will's answer is as unreasonable as answering "Because one plus one equals two" when asked "Why does this math problem work out this way?"
"The second step is to screen out the dungeons that predate the birth of the Ice Abyss of the End."
He pointed to the time marked on the dungeon.
This step...
It's not the news he got from the "original work".
Since he discovered that the original Galaxy Top had disappeared, Li Weiqi became an existence in the dungeon but didn't know what it was. So where would the other "characters" from the original work be?
until……
He thought of Shona.
As an original character in the spin-off game he personally directed, she appears here. Is it possible that characters originally used as game card pools will appear in a similar way?
So, in these three months, he not only used the names he already had to look through the Adventurers Association's dungeon strategy records. I also ran several of the dungeons myself.
Then he discovered that his guess turned out to be correct.
Some of the settings in this world have very similar expressions to the money-making "mobile games" he created online.
For example...
All characters that existed in the original work——
The green goblin conductor, the slippery giant slime girl, the armor girl hiding in the empty armor...
These characters who originally corresponded to the top of the galaxy entered the dungeon in the same order that they were added to the card pool as new characters.
——Thank God, because the card pool sequence is a very important operational resource, and the next year's work will revolve around it, so he can still memorize it after more than ten years.
But in this way, if you want to lock the appearance time of a character, you must know the time before and after her.
Ya'er's pond was before the snow girl, so Will began to look for the place where the "snow girl" in the original work was.
Chapter 384 "Not the Next Carver" (3k)
to be honest……
Will himself also feels that it is strange to "use random card pool information determined in a previous life to infer the order of appearance of monsters in this world." But when a conjecture is repeatedly confirmed by different answers, it becomes a "reality."
For him, one day he will have to figure out why everything related to that "game" that appears here is.
But, at least not now——
After he said this, he looked at Liz.
He was waiting for a "why" from Liz, but Liz had given up asking.
"Go on."
"The third step is to find...the underground cities in the strip formed by these extinct underground cities."
He pointed to a line drawn on the map, which had already excluded many dungeons.
This was something he screened out with some "paranoia".
Originally, even though this was the case, there were still a lot of dungeons left, and the next step of screening was still needed to lock in one.
Until he found out...
These dungeons have now been determined to be the dungeons where the characters of the original "Galaxy Top" are located. The four on the edge can draw a very standard rectangle - the kind where the upper and lower sides are parallel and equal.
It's almost like a band is formed across the entire map, perhaps also hinting at the "Galaxy".
Therefore, he guessed that the underground city where Ya'er was located must be among them.
Finally, Will pointed to the dungeon called "The Final Ashes" and parked his teaching staff here.
"That's all that's left."
The dungeon named Ashes of the End - has a similar name to the Abyss of End, as if to hint at the end of everything.
In this dungeon, there is the "Ya'er" whom the witches have lost contact with and are constantly trying to find.
Liz hadn’t yet responded to Will’s inference, but Leah spoke first——
"How is it! Mom, are the students I teach particularly outstanding?"
"Yeah..." Lispi smiled, "It's so good that... I have nothing to say."
"He was like this in school too. Let me tell you, his graduation thesis once made the old professors in the audience who I disliked the most dumbfounded and couldn't even ask a single question."
"Leah, I mean... is it possible that you are older than those old professors you can't stand?"
"Uh... this, this..."
Then, Liz looked at Will again who was standing on the stage "reporting the results"——
"For me and the witch, it actually doesn't matter how we find Ya'er. Because we only need her to give herself and bring the 'possibility' of interpreting ancient magic to the witches, that is, the trophies she dropped."
"I also know that I just need to deliver the results."
"That's right." Liz spread her hands, "But this time...are you going to take Leah with you?"
Will was stunned by this question, because Liz's tone was more like a mother than a witch.
"Of course. I will go to that dungeon with Will. Although it sounds like it is a fire-attributed dungeon, I may not be of much use in attacking it."
When Liz heard this, she nodded thoughtfully, as if she was struggling with something, but fell silent again.
"...Then I wish you a safe journey and can bring back the information that the witch admired the most, the most original, and the most important person who died in exchange for it."
"No problem at all!"
Leah answered very decisively.
"..."
Will looked at Liz's expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and fell into deep thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
night.
Without turning on the light, Lisilis took off the witch hat that was almost a symbol of her status. She stood in front of the blackboard and took off the things on the map - considering her height, this step was actually a bit small. Somewhat difficult.
She didn't let Leah and Will take the map and blackboard back because she could just clean them up.
But actually...
She even wanted to keep the map in front of her, with the time of occurrence and related locations transcribed by Leah, as a souvenir.
Bang.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a subtle sound of lighting a fire coming from behind, and along with it, the lights in the entire room were turned on.
"Who-"
The moment the keen Liz turned back, she had already picked up the staff, summoned the instant magic from the ring, and pointed directly at the source of the sound.
but……
"Don't rush to fire, it's me."
The next sound came from behind her.
Almost at a speed that she couldn't even react to, Will stood directly behind her, and picked off a corner of the map behind her that she hadn't touched even while standing on tiptoes.
"Why are you here and appearing like this? Where is Leah?"
"Because I felt that my future mother-in-law seemed to have something to say to me. But when Leah was present, she didn't say it."
Will showed a friendly smile, a smile like this could even dispel all the rudeness he had just quietly walked into the house.
"As for Leia, don't worry about her. After having a really good time with the witch's blood, she's always very tired and will sleep very well."
He stood in front of Liz, with a completely different attitude from his previous collaborator who was "Lea's student" but was a completely equal person.
Liz felt that he really came here to talk to her as a junior.
She looked at the hickeys on his neck that were not covered up at all because he was wearing casual evening clothes, and she tentatively believed his words that Leah would not appear here.
"...Liya didn't misjudge you, and neither did I. You are really good at reading other people's minds and negotiating with them with high emotional intelligence."
Putting down the staff, Liz pulled out the chair of the table, sat down at the table, invited Will to sit down, and poured Will a cup of hot water.
For Will, Liz, who sat down first at this moment, behaved more like an "elder" than ever before.
"I can understand, you...are worried about Leah leaving with me? Just like every mother would worry about her child traveling far away."
"Hmm..." Liz looked out the window and began to think. Her blonde hair, which was exactly the same color as Leah's, hung beside her ears. She impatiently smoothed her blonde hair behind her ears. "In fact, for us who have a long life span, our daughter is becoming less and less like a junior and daughter in life...she will only be like an ordinary friend."
As she explained, she held her hand on the hot water cup, as if to keep warm.
"My mental state will be almost always fixed at a certain height after I have fully grown up. As time goes by, her mental state and experience will catch up with me little by little, and she will even think more and do better than me in many aspects..."
Liz looked at the water cup.
"I will gradually forget my efforts when she was born, the hardships of raising her when she was still young, and the state when she didn't know anything. I will only remember her appearance when she caught up with me now."
In the reflection of the water cup, Liz saw her expression of relief when she thought of the picture of Leah when she was a child.
"So, I don't have a big fluctuation about her choice and leaving - especially love. If you are really an elder, you will probably care about or even control the lover she chooses, but if you are just her "friend", you may only ask about her current lover, that simple."
