"One hundred and thirteen teams, it seems that a large part of them will be eliminated in one fell swoop," Elusa sighed.

"I'm afraid it's deliberate, set up to eliminate the team," Gray said.

"It was so powerful just now, but why am I so nauseous?" Natsu wondered.

Just as Natsu finished speaking, a magic crystal cone appeared next to it, and the head of the pumpkin man was visible on it.

"Here I'm going to explain that the magicians who can make motion sickness and seasickness and fear of heights play fairly, and the labyrinth is enchanted to make it" The pumpkin man's words rang in everyone's ears, and then the magic crystal cone vanished.

"I see, it's similar to Wendy's healing magic," Elusa nodded.

"What a shame," Gray lamented.

"I hear you," Natsu immediately cried out in dissatisfaction.

At that moment, some paper actually fell from a high place, just at Elusa's feet, and Elusa picked it up and saw what it looked like a map.

"Is this a map of the labyrinth?" said Gray, who immediately leaned over and looked at the paper.

Everyone looked up and immediately found a man struggling to grasp the ground, apparently caused by the vertical rotation of the labyrinth just now, and this person happened to be the leader of the Dusk Ghost.

"Is it yours?" asked Elusa immediately.

"Give us back ......," the leader of the twilight ghosts cried out with difficulty.

Elusa looked at the ghost of dusk and then at the map in her hand, her eyes flashed with golden light for a moment, and the corners of her mouth smiled evilly, "I thought of a shortcut to clear the level" and said in an evil tone.

Walk over to the leader of the Ghost of Twilight, and stomp on the leader's hand.

"Ah......h

"Now I have thought of a brilliant solution, since all guilds are in this labyrinth, then there must be other guilds that are recording the maps of this labyrinth, as long as we get those maps and put them together with ours, then we can quickly know the details of the entire labyrinth," Elusa looked at the crowd with golden eyes shining brightly.

With that, all but Lucy were all together, with the same golden eyes as Elusa and smiling wickedly.

"You're so scary......" Lucy, who has no strength, hid to the side and complained about the people who were falling into "evil".

The next thing was much simpler, except for Lucy, the four of Elusa began to take the initiative to find other teams in the maze and began to snatch the maps in the hands of other teams.

Suddenly, the sky labyrinth was filled with the excited and frantic roars of the three Nazgray Elfman.

On the streets of Kulokas, the people in the Fairy Tail Guild who did not participate in the Great Demon Fight still looked for Wendy and Xia Lulu on the streets.

There was a spin on the labyrinth of the Heavenly Palace, and the scene of many people falling from above was naturally seen by everyone, although they were worried about Elusa and their game, but the disappearance of Wendy in front of them made them even more worried.

"Kulokas is so big, even though the whole guild is looking for it, it's still a drop in the bucket," Harpy said anxiously.

"What the hell happened to Wendy," Lishana said anxiously.

"Xia Lulu ......" Harpy became even more anxious when he thought that Xia Lulu had also disappeared.

The speed of the search for one person and one cat has been accelerated by a few points, and the various members of the entire Kulokasri Guild have also begun to act separately to find it.

As time passed, the maze alarm in the sky sounded and then began to rotate again, which brought some trouble to Elusa who was really looking for the team to snatch the opponent's map, and it also brought more trouble to the other teams, because not only did the four of them stare at the map in their hands like robbers, but also find the end point to mark the marks on each road and guard against the vertical rotation of the maze from time to time, the pressure was too great, and the final result was that Elusa and them were cheapened in vain.

All the maps snatched from the other teams were handed over to Lucy, and Lucy's flexible mind was used to deduce the clues on the map to find the right way.

Time passed slowly again, more than an hour has passed since twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, during which the maze in the sky has to rotate vertically every fifteen minutes, and some people fall off the maze every time it rotates, but as time passes, the people who rotate and fall down at intervals are basically gone, it can be thought that it is because they are familiar with the rules, which also means that the rest of the team is some of the strength is good, and it also represents another thing.

"I haven't seen any other teams in a while," Natsu said, staring around in the hope of finding someone.

"A labyrinth without other teams doesn't look like a maze for a man," Elfman then complained.

"There's no way around it, after all, a lot of teams have already been eliminated, and the chances of encountering other teams in the maze are greatly reduced," Gray sighed.

"Lucy, can you find anything from the map you got?" Elusa asked, turning to Lucy.

"While some of the maps that look like the right path have been made from the cluttered map, the entire structure of the maze has changed over the course of several rotations, and it's really hard to find the marked path through these changes," Lucy replied.

"It seems that the maze spins not only to eliminate some of the teams, but also to make the maze more difficult," Elusa muttered.

"And are we going to find another team to grab the map from them?" asked Gray.

"It's natural to rob when you encounter it, but it's also necessary to find the known path that we already know," Elusa nodded, then looked at Lucy.

"Lucy, it's up to you to find the way that has been recorded," Elusa said.

"Well, I'll leave it to me," Lucy nodded and immediately responded.

"Hurry up and find the right spot, the maze will be spinning again in a few minutes," Elusa said, and ran quickly forward

"Hmm," the four of them nodded, and immediately quickened their pace to keep up with Elusa.

After an hour and a half of searching, everyone has searched all the places they should be looking for, but there is no trace of Wendy, at this time, everyone's faces are anxious, and Volian also began to use telepathic communication magic to discuss with everyone.

"Did any of you find out?" asked Wolian.

"No, I've searched almost everything, not even Wendy's shadow," Max's voice rang out.

"Is there anything else you haven't been looking for?" Mirajane's voice rang out.

"Yes, but only two places," Max said.

"Those two?" Lisanna's voice rang out.

"Domus Arena and the Royal Palace," Max responded.

After hearing this, Lishana and Harpy, who were on the edge of the city of Culocas, stopped and looked at the building in the center of the city that looked particularly spectacular, that is, the royal palace of the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore, called Maculias of the Flower Palace, the reason why it was named the Flower Palace is because the alias of Culocas is the Flower Capital, that is, the place where the flowers bloom all year round, in fact, the flowers open all year round is not really open all year round, but because of the climate and a special local flower that blooms much longer than other places, so basically only in winter will not open。

"In other words, the Domus Arena is impossible, and the only place I haven't found is the palace?" Lisanna muttered, if you think about it carefully, Wendy Charlulu would not have gone to the Domus Arena because she was going to participate in the Great Demon Battle, so she wouldn't have gone there in advance to play or anything, the only possibility was the palace.

"It's a long way from us," Harpy said.

"How is this possible, it is impossible to enter the palace," Wolian's voice sounded in the hearts of Lishana and Harpy.

"Indeed, we have nothing to do with the royal family, how could the palace let us in" Mirajane agreed, as she and Lucy were like that when they were in Itya, they were lucky enough to enter the palace that the commoners could not enter.

"There's no harm in checking it out, there might be a windfall," Lisana said.

"Well, well, let's think about what is suspicious and then look for it, don't miss it," Mirajane's serious voice sounded in everyone's hearts.

"Understood......" Suddenly everyone's voices rang out.

Lishana and Harpy also hurriedly ran in the direction of the palace, after nearly an hour and a half of searching, everyone did not find any trace of Wendy and Xia Lulu, which can only show one thing, that is, Wendy and Xia Lulu definitely had an accident, at the beginning there were still people who suspected that Wendy and Xia Lulu were lost or something, but now no one thinks so, the only hope is to find the traces of the two of them as soon as possible.

Harpy, who had been running for a while, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Lisanna, "By the way, I suddenly remembered, Wendy and Xia Lulu seem to have said that they were going to visit some places of interest or something."

"Visiting places of interest?" Lisanna, who was running fast, was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then frowned and muttered to herself, "Is it a little more likely to say that the palace is so likely?"

This time, Lishana and Harpy ran towards the palace even faster.

Because one person and one cat are far away from the palace, it takes some time to reach the outside of the palace, and Lucy in the labyrinth of the heavenly palace has made some progress at this time, just after a maze rotation, Lucy actually found that it is not far away to know that part of the map, and soon the five people on the map have reached the center of the maze from the outside of the maze.

"It's confusing," Lucy said in distress as she looked at the various maps in her hand, and then looked up at the sky, which gave her even more headaches.

"How could this sky be like this," Lucy said speechlessly.

Because the surface of the maze rotated many times, the map and the maze no longer coincided, and they couldn't follow the map to the east, all five people decided to follow the road that seemed to lead to the center of the maze by accident, and the five people really succeeded in entering the center of the maze, and thought that they could see everything outside the maze by being in the center of the maze and find the right way to the east, but the real situation obviously disappointed the five people.

In the center of the maze there is no outside at all, but ......

"I didn't expect this to be an idyllic place," Elusa was surprised.

"But it's still upside down," said Gray, who reluctantly said that was where they were now, with an idyllic view above them that looked like a small village, and they were on an upside-down path made of stone above the clouds.

"It doesn't even work now," Elusa said as she took out the compass she had prepared, and everyone could see that the compass was constantly turning, and she didn't mean to stop at all.

"Is there a magic cast here that confuses the compass?" Elfman said.

"What's the point, I can't tell the direction here, and I can't see the outside," Natsu wondered.

"Yes," everyone nodded in agreement.

"Could it be an ulterior motive?" said Gray casually, but the sentence made Lucy stunned.

"Have an ulterior motive?" Lucy muttered to herself, frowning.

"Lucy, what did you think of?" Elusa asked as soon as she saw Lucy begin to ponder.

"Intentions, intentions......" Lucy continued to mutter, ignoring Elusa's questioning, her head down.

After almost a minute, Lucy jerked her head up and looked at the four of them, and said, "I thought about it just now, and found that there are some things that can be completely connected to each other."

"Oh......" The four of them were a little surprised, and began to wait for Lucy's next words.

"First of all, what happened when we entered the maze, the surface of the maze was irregularly upside down, and then the surface of the maze rotated, so that the map we collected didn't work as expected, and then the center of the maze intensified, but the center of the maze was a little different from the surface of the maze," Lucy said.

"What's the difference?" Gray wondered.

"I don't know if you've noticed that there is no maze on the surface and the center is upside down, but the center is regular," Lucy said.

"That's true," the crowd looked around and overhead, and it was true that only the clouds and the village were upside down, and this was certainly from their point of view.

"Then the compass can play a role on the surface, but it can't work here, obviously this is deliberately making people unable to distinguish the direction here, no matter how the maze definitely has the right way to the end, and there is more than one entrance for each team to enter the maze, since this is the case, then there must be a place where all roads can meet, and this place is the center of the maze, so I conclude that there must be a way to the end here, and not letting us find the right east is also to increase the difficulty of some mazes" Lucy said in a deep voice.

"Well, indeed, if the road is really here, then how are we going to find the East?

"I guess there should be a clue to going there, although from our point of view the village is upside down, but if we look at it from the perspective of the village, it is not necessarily," Lucy said as she pointed to the upside-down village in the sky.

"Is it the right angle?" Elusa understood Lucy's words by this time.

"The only question is, how do we get up," Lucy said.

"yes, that's in the sky," Gray said, looking at the sky.

"Isn't that easy, just wait for that," Elusa laughed.

"Eh......" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon they knew why Elusa said that it was very easy to do, and the alarm sounded for the maze to rotate, and then it was not only the surface but also the center that rotated, and the five of them fell into the sky with the rotation of the maze.

Falling from the "ground" to the "sky" was actually correctly falling into the ground, at this time their angle was already correct, everyone got up from the water in embarrassment and fell to the ground weakly, the free fall just now made Lucy's heart experience a lot of pressure, but this seemed to be not worth mentioning Elusa.

"Alright, we've made it to the ground, Lucy, can you tell it's the east?" said Elusa as she stood and looked around, the view was honestly very good.

"Inside ......" Lucy also slowly stood up and looked around, hoping to see something, but Lucy didn't see anything unusual for a long time.

"The scenery all around looks the same, and there's no way to tell the direction in the sky, and it's really difficult," Lucy said.

"Speaking of which, it's night, but it's daytime here, what's going on with this labyrinth?" said Elfman, looking around.

"Oh, you see, there's still the sun," Natsu suddenly noticed something surprising, and exclaimed with some excitement.

"What, the sun?" Hearing this, Elusa and Lucy were startled, and immediately looked in the direction where Natsu was looking, and sure enough, they followed Natsu's line of sight and found a sun peeking out of the thick clouds in the sky, but this sun was obviously very bright, but the five of them did not feel dazzling.

"Fake?" said Gray.

"The game starts after twelve o'clock in the morning, right?" Lucy asked at once she thought of something.

"That's right," Gray nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, this direction is east," Lucy pointed in one direction.

"I see, I understand," said Elusa.

"I don't understand at all," after hearing this, the three boys shook their heads in unison and said depressedly.

"It's very simple, we started the game after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it's been a while now, if you count the time now, the time of day and night here are equal, and you can see that the shadows of those trees are not long, so I am more sure that the time here is the same as outside, so it's afternoon and the shadows of the trees are facing east," Elusa also pointed in the direction that Lucy was pointing.

"It's Elusa, I'm only thinking about the previous part, and you've found evidence of the shadows of the trees," Lucy sighed.

"I didn't understand it too much, but I just had to make sure of the East," Natsu said unconcernedly.

"Everyone, hurry up and get to the finish line," Elusa shouted, and the five of them immediately ran towards the east.

Ran for more than ten minutes, during which the maze rotated again, the five people grabbed the trees in the village and did not make themselves fall, the rotation stopped, everyone ran again, and soon the idyllic village scenery passed, followed by the view of the sea, and there was a stone road on the sea I don't know where it leads.

After running for a long time and not seeing the head, if the five of them hadn't seen the sky being drawn, they would definitely think that this road has no end.

Lishana and Harpy had already arrived outside the palace, although they were initially rejected by the guards guarding the palace, but after Lisanna told the truth, the guards agreed to allow Lishana and Harpy to enter the palace atrium area because it was the time of the Great Demon Fighting and the king's order, and the rest of the places were not allowed to go.

Through the permission of the guards, Lishana and Harpy entered the atrium of the palace, which surprised one person and one cat, since they were able to enter, it means that Wendy and Xia Lulu are likely to come in as well.

Immediately Lisanna informed them of this, and they were surprised to learn that Lishana and Harpy had entered the kingdom without hindrance, and they had always thought that it was a forbidden place, which made them envious.

At the same time, the five Lucys in the labyrinth of the Heavenly Palace finally saw the end of the road, and the end was a door with the word "pass" on it, and a figure standing there.

When the five arrived panting, they found that the figure was actually a pumpkin man, but this height was too much different from the height on the magic crystal cone at the beginning, and Dakai and Makanov had the same height.

"Congratulations, you've made it to the finals" The Pumpkin Man's funny voice rang in everyone's ears, and at the same time, the pass light on the gate also lit up, and the Pumpkin Man also set off a small colored cannon to celebrate.

"Great, it's passed......" The five people shouted in surprise.

"Now please tell me your names so I can register," the pumpkin man began, pulling out a notebook.

Immediately, all five of them reported their names, and after the pumpkin man read them one by one, the pumpkin man congratulated the five again.

And the three Nazgre Elfman are not very calm.

"Hey, we're not the first to reach the finish line," Natsu excited.

"Needless to say, we must be the first," Gray said lightly, but his tone and eyes were definitely not calm.

"To be manly is to be number one," Elfman said excitedly.

Although Elusa didn't speak, the smug smile fully revealed what she was thinking at this time.

Lucy, on the other hand, was relieved, but fortunately her strength did not drag the team back.

But the Pumpkin Man fell silent when he saw Natsu like this.

"You're thinking too much," appeared in the Pumpkin Man's flat tone.

"Isn't it?" the pumpkin man's words made the five of them pause.

"That's right, isn't it?" the pumpkin man nodded.

"And who are we?" asked Lucy, confused.

"You're eighth, barely qualified......," Pumpkin Man echoed Lucy's words.

"What ......" After hearing that his team was actually in eighth place, all five people were stunned.

In less than a minute, under the labyrinth of the Heavenly Palace, the figure of the stereoscopic pumpkin man reappeared, announcing the end of the preliminaries.

This took the Macao by surprise.

"It's over, so those eight teams are in the finals?" Wakaba shouted as he looked up at the stereoscopic pumpkin man in the air.

But what the Pumpkin Man said next made many of the crowd complain.

"As for the eight teams that made it to the finals, let's just wait for tomorrow's opening ceremony," the Pumpkin Man finished speaking, and the stereoscopic image disappeared.

Then, just over a minute later, another piece of news arrived, and Lishana and Harpy found the unconscious Wendy and Charlulu in the atrium of the palace and asked for help.

After receiving this news, everyone immediately lost their mood for the time being, regardless of the results of the preliminaries, and immediately rushed to the direction of the palace.
