I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 1371

After an unknown amount of time, Bud slowly opened his eyes. He only felt that he had had a very long dream.

At first, he felt that he was having a nightmare in the dream. He was weak, helpless and scared, but soon he felt an unprecedented warmth, as if he was back in his mother's arms.

That wonderful feeling made him unforgettable for a long time. Even if he opened his eyes, he could not escape from the dream world for a while.

"Awake?"

Irena's voice came from beside him, which made Bud, who was distracted, quickly come back to his senses.

Turning his head, he found that Irena was sitting on the ground with her legs hugged and resting. She seemed to have been resting with her eyes closed before Bud made any movement.

But Irena didn't seem to know how girlish her movements were at the moment. She had been educated by the two good sisters since she was a child, and her habits were subtly influenced.

But Irena's appearance in Bud's eyes made him feel moved again. No matter what actions a beautiful skin makes, people will feel beautiful, not to mention such a gesture that can add points.

"...How long have I slept?"

Bud quickly shifted his gaze. He didn't dare to look at Elena for too long. He was afraid that his blushing face would be noticed by her.

At the same time, he was also very curious about how long he had slept. He felt very sore when he woke up. It was obviously impossible to just sleep. He must have been lying for a long time.

"About three days. I can't judge the exact time. This is all based on my body feeling of the past time."

Elena thought for a while and said that he could only give an approximate time. After all, the sun could not be seen inside the maze, and it was really difficult to judge the time without the alternation of day and night.

"Three days?!"

This scared Bud. He thought he could sleep for a whole day, but he slept for three days.

In other words, he had delayed the team's action time for three days. It was okay that he couldn't help in the battle, but he was dragging his feet and dragging it like this. Bud was so ashamed that he wanted to hit his head against his head.

"I'm really sorry, Master Elena, because it's my fault that I've held you back so much."

Budd came back to his senses and turned to apologize to Elena. He couldn't accept the fact that he had held back, and wanted to make some compensation for it as much as possible.

"Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Elena said with a look of surprise. He didn't expect Budd to apologize to him right away. In his opinion, Budd had never done anything that needed to be apologized for.

"Because...because of me, Master Elena, your progress has been delayed so much. If I wasn't so useless, I'm afraid you, Master Elena, would have found what you wanted, right?"

After saying that, Budd lowered his head in frustration. He was now wondering if it would be better if he hadn't followed Elena in the beginning. After all, he couldn't help at all and delayed everyone's time for so long.

"Don't say that. You didn't hold us back. Or rather, your contribution is greater than you think."

Seeing Bud's look, Elena immediately understood what he was worried about. It was nothing more than some minor worries of adolescent boys, that meaningless self-esteem.

"My contribution is greater than holding us back?"

Bud raised his head and said with some surprise. He didn't think he had made much of a contribution.

"Yes, if you hadn't taken the initiative to lead the way at the beginning, I'm afraid we would still be lost outside. You have to know that this place is harder to find than you think. The demon king has been looking for the entrance for many days and couldn't find it."

Elena said lightly. He didn't say this to comfort Bud. He really felt that way.

Even a strong man like the demon king couldn't find the entrance after searching for a long time. Even if he cooperated with Elena, he would probably have to spend a lot of time to find the way. It is likely that it would take more than three days to find the way.

This forest seems to be well protected. Outsiders will be confused if they approach. Only locals like Bud can find the location of the road clearly.

"Even if you say so..."

Bud himself doesn't seem to be able to accept it. After all, he doesn't think the road is that difficult to find. Many places are very similar to when he was a child, so it's not difficult to find them.

"And because of you, we stopped and observed the surrounding environment carefully, and found that this maze is very confusing."

Seeing Bud's appearance, Elena continued to explain that when Bud was resting here, Elena did a lot of homework, and took this small room as the center toI explored around a lot.

I found that the layout of this maze is really a maze. The most important thing is that the walls of the maze will move periodically. If you just walk blindly, you will easily get lost.

Because Elena has seen the marks he wrote on the wall, and he clearly knows that he has been moving forward. The most important thing is that the marks disappeared after two days. Obviously, the wall is moving by itself.

After all, the maze is alive. As long as the maze itself is strong enough, it is not strange to change the environment every once in a while.

Not to mention that the demon king himself angered the maze itself, and broke the walls of the maze several times. I am afraid that the maze itself has been in pain for a long time.

Elena doesn't believe that he didn't change the structure with the mentality of revenge on the demon king. From this point of view, the one who "drags his feet" is the demon king.

After saying this, Bud also reacted. The demon king didn't seem to be nearby. Only Elena was with him, and even Phoenix was not around.

"Because of you, the other two should probably thank you. They are all greedy and gluttonous. They have been eating a lot these days."

Elena said unhappily. Every time he cooked, he had to prepare the portions for several people. These days, he basically did nothing but fill the stomachs of these people.

Bud also showed a helpless expression when he heard this. He could see that Phoenix and the Demon King liked Elena's cooking very much. After all, it was really delicious.

Ordinary adventurers don't have such skills. Elena's cooking skills will be popular wherever she goes, even if she doesn't have the ability of a priest.

Thanks to Elena's comfort, Bud felt a lot better, although he also knew that it was Elena who was enlightening him and he was not actually that useful.

But it must be said that Bud was indeed enlightened. At the same time, he thought in his heart that Elena was really gentle and patient with people like him.
