Chapter 9: The Minotaur Princess

"Senior sister, do you want to move to the mushroom garden? Compared to the Silver Moon Secret Realm, there is more time for cultivation there. ”

"The time of the Silver Moon Secret Realm is enough for me, and I have not been able to break through for a long time, just because I encountered a problem."

In the meditation room, Alan and Tanya sit opposite each other and make small talk.

After leaving Case Town, he brought the second-order age-freezing elixir to the Silver Moon Secret Realm to visit his sister and senior sister.

Alan filled the empty glass in front of her sister with wine, and motioned for her to elaborate on what problems she had encountered.

"It all starts with my fusion ancestor, the princess of Crete, the female Bighorn Minotaur Minodores......"

……

Tanya's meditation world, in ancient times.

The war between the ancestors and the gods has not yet been decided.

The aftermath of the war has already scarred the world.

Glaciers at both poles have melted, and seawater has flooded the continent.

Millions of islands, scattered across the ocean.

It constitutes the entire land mass of the world today.

The ancestral spirit of Tanya's fusion was born in Crete under the rule of King Minos.

Queen Pacifica of Crete died in childbirth, leaving behind a freak daughter who was half human and half ox, named Minodo Dorothy.

It is said that Minodo Dorothy was not the king's own flesh and blood, but the queen was born of an affair with a sacred cow.

King Minos was open-minded and benevolent.

Wearing a green hat is certainly unpleasant, but his beloved wife has passed away, so he forgives the other party's infidelity.

On her deathbed, the queen took him by the hand and tearfully begged him to take care of her little daughter.

King Minos made a promise in the name of the ancestral spirit to grant the queen's last wish.

For many years afterward, the king faithfully fulfilled his promise and cared for the freak's illegitimate daughter as his own daughter.

Mino Dorothy, the minotaur princess who lost her mother since she was a child, although she does not lack fatherly love, she discovered early on that she is different from the little friends around her.

The court maids seemed to be very afraid of her.

Occasionally going out shopping, he is also regarded as a monster by the people and avoids it.

The strange gaze from outsiders is still bearable.

Minoso Dorothy's greatest pain comes from her loved ones.

The half-sister Ariadne, a powerful sorceress, is deeply ashamed of her mother's scandals.

She believes that her mother's death in childbirth was essentially caused by this freak sister, and she hates Minoone Dorothy to the core.

Ariadne was very mean to his sister and tried his best to bully her, sarcastically mocking, and calling her an ugly ghost and a monster!

Poor Minoone Dorothy, who has lived in the shadow of her beautiful and powerful eldest sister since she was a child, has been bullied for a long time......

The personality gradually becomes inferior, and even autistic.

At the age of nine, Minodorothy finally couldn't stand the humiliation of her sister and ran into the bedroom crying, locking herself in a dark room, not wanting to see anyone.

The king's attempt to encourage his daughter to pick herself up and face life like a normal person backfired.

If given a choice, Minoan Dorothy would rather not have been born in this cold world in a deformed form.

However, no one can choose whether they are born or not.

If you cut yourself off, it will add scandal to the royal family, and you will be even more sorry for your father, who loves you.

Minotaur Princess Minoan Dorothy, after much deliberation, made a request to her father:

"I don't want to hurt people, and I don't want to be hurt."

"I don't want to see people, and I don't want to be disturbed."

"Can you live in darkness forever?"

King Minos's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to accede to her request.

spent a lot of money, hired skilled craftsmen, and built a labyrinth for his youngest daughter located thousands of feet underground.

Minoone Dorothy is in an underground labyrinth where she can live her life in peace without being disturbed by the outside world.

In order to take care of his daughter's food and daily life, the king sent three pairs of boys and girls every year to serve as servants.

Children's hearts tend to be more innocent, unprejudiced, and more receptive to Minoone Torrethy's distinctive looks.

These young servants accompany Her Royal Highness the princess to live in the underground labyrinth.

In addition to laundry and cooking, the slaves' daily work included growing edible mushrooms, bare ferns, and raising guinea pigs, blind chickens, and loes.

These livestock, which can survive in a dark-free environment, can provide nutritious meat, eggs, and milk.

So that Her Royal Highness the princess's table will not be too shabby.

Dark and tranquil life, quietly passed.

Eleven years have passed, and Minodo Torres is twenty years old.

The underground labyrinth that surrounds her has become no longer solid.

King Minos was sick and bedridden in old age, and the affairs of state were entrusted to his eldest daughter, Ariadne.

King Minos, fearing that his eldest daughter would poison his sister, forced her to swear in the name of the ancestral spirit:

Don't stain your hands with your sister's blood, or you will be punished!

Regent Ariadne is in power and desperate to kill Minoone Dorothy, the freak who has brought shame on the royal family!

Limited to the oath, it was inconvenient to do it himself, so he secretly cast a spell to summon the fierce spirit, sent it to the underground palace, and ordered the fierce spirit to assassinate his sister.

That's right, she once swore that "your hands will not touch her sister's blood".

But, it doesn't matter.

As long as you don't kill your sister yourself, you don't break your oath.

The development of events was in line with Ariadne's expectations.

The resentful spirit, as soon as it enters the underground labyrinth, will go on a killing spree!

Minoto Dorothy's minions, one by one, were poisoned by the evil spirits.

Within three days, they were all dead!

Worse things are yet to come.

The fierce spirits summoned by Ariadne also have a name called "Fear Binding Spirits", which is the so-called High Binding Spirits.

The soul of a person who is killed by the Fearful Spirits cannot be freed, and after death, they are transformed into "Bound Spirits" and are subject to the control of the Fearful Spirits.

The male and female servants who served the Bull-headed Princess were eventually killed by the fierce spirits, turned into bound spirits, and besieged the living mistress.

The power of the undead is growing like a snowball.

Minoto Dorothy was overwhelmed and was forced to hide in the middle of the dungeon to escape the undead.

At the same time, Ariadne preached that the three pairs of boys and girls sent to the underground palace every year were living sacrifices.

Over the past eleven years, a total of sixty-six boys and girls have been sent to the dungeon, where they have been killed and devoured by the bull-headed monsters.

Ariadne, exposing this elaborate "scandal" has two purposes.

One is to recruit warriors and professional adventurers to go to the dungeon and crusade against the minotaur monster in order to become famous.

The fierce spirit alone can't kill the ugly minotaur princess.

Ariadne, then, didn't mind spending a small amount of money and ending her sister's life at the hands of a greedy adventurer.

The second is to ruin the reputation of his father and sister under the banner of putting things right, and create his image of a "benevolent monarch" who kills his relatives in righteousness and stabilize his dominant position.

There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.

Minotaur Princess, in a desperate situation!

At the end of the day, Tanya's consciousness took advantage of the void to replace the desperate ancestral spirit and gain the dominance of this body.

Tanya soon discovers that she has a hellish start!

……

The biggest threat to Tanya comes from the literal "elusive" bound spirit!

Bound Spirits are imaginary undead creatures that can pass through walls and escape to the ground, and are immune to normal physical attacks.

Even magic, magic arts, and enchanted weapons, in addition to the force field system, have at least half a chance to penetrate the ethereal bound spirit and cannot inflict substantial damage on it.

Tanya's escape stunt can't get rid of the spirit chasing and killing.

punched and kicked the bound spirit, and he didn't let the move fail, and his efforts were in vain.

Tanya's atavistic form, with its own barbarian iron armor, is impregnable in defense.

It can't stand the touch of the bound spirit, it is formless and substantial, and it can directly penetrate the physical armor and extract the life essence.

No matter how thick the armor is, it can't stop a group of bound spirits from surrounding and stroking, and it is sucked out of essence in minutes and turned into a dried corpse.

The Binding Spirit can also be invisible in the dark, silent, and unguardable.

Tanya must always pay attention to the changes in the concentration of negative energy around her.

Even the slightest hint of cold air currents could be that the Bound Spirit was secretly approaching.

In the long run, she couldn't sleep well and had a nervous breakdown.

These characteristics of the spirit binding just restrain Tanya.

That's it, what makes Tanya even more annoyed is ......

The resentment of the bound spirit is not extinguished, and it is difficult to be completely destroyed!

It's hard to blow up a bound spirit, and in a few days, it will be reborn in the darkness and come back to you for revenge!

There are two main ways to completely destroy the Spirits.

First, find out where the resentment of the bound spirit lies, and help it fulfill its last wish, so that you can be freed.

Second, ask the priests to take action, splash holy water, channel divine power, and surpass the soul.

There are also two kinds of binding spirits in the dungeon.

First, it is the evil spirit (Fear Bound Spirit) summoned by Ariadne, the source of the scourge of enslaving the souls of the dead.

Tanya didn't know the great spirit, she couldn't communicate with it, and it was impossible for her to know where her resentment was.

The second is the ordinary bound spirits transformed by the male and female servants killed by the fierce spirits, a total of sixty-six.

These poor servants do not turn a blind eye, and their common grudge is to destroy the evil spirits and take revenge.

However, they have to be controlled by the evil spirits, acting as accomplices of the evil spirits, hunting down the only Minotaur who has the potential to help them avenge their revenge......

At any given time, there are at least ten bound spirits acting as bodyguards around the fierce spirits.

It is almost impossible to besiege and forcibly kill the fierce spirits against the ten bound spirits.

What's more, even if you kill the evil spirit, it doesn't make much sense.

The resentment of the evil spirit has not disappeared, and it will be reborn after a short time.

This is the internal trouble that Tanya is facing.

Let's not consider those foreign adventurers who break into the dungeon in order to earn a bounty, just the undead internal troubles in the dungeon, Tanya is already tossed!

She had thought about escaping the underground labyrinth.

The bound spirit is afraid of light and does not dare to move in the sun.

However, the ancestral spirit she fused, Minoto Dorothy, who suffered from severe autism, had long been accustomed to life in the dark.

In any case, I don't want to leave the labyrinth and be exposed to broad daylight.

Tanya was forced to change her mind and hit the adventurers from outside.

An adventurous team exploring the dungeon caught her attention.

The Adventure Squad has four members.

Owen, the Great Axe Warrior.

Jack the Twin Knife Thief.

Yuri, a sorceress who has awakened the "Snow Maiden Bloodline".

And, the goddess Sunny, who worships the Holy Light!

Tanya's goal is Sonny!

This goddess with firm beliefs is good at light magic, supernatural undead creatures, and is her counterpart specialty.

If you can convince Sunny to help purify the spirits, it will be easy.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done.

Initially, Tanya took the initiative to go to the camp of the adventure party.

He intends to talk to Sunny openly and honestly in a peaceful way, and explain the truth about his being framed by Ariadne.

However, the other party did not give her a chance to speak at all.

The four-person team, as soon as they saw her, immediately grabbed their weapons and launched a siege.

Looking at her eyes, there was an irrepressible excitement, as if she were a walking money bag.

It's not to blame the adventurers.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

They were hired by Ariadne to fight the Minotaur in order to win a large bounty.

The bounty target is just around the corner, who has the spare time to listen to her pour out her grievances?!

What's more, the dignity of the bull-headed princess is too terrifying!

Even if she had the opportunity to speak, no one would believe her.

With a noble and beautiful princess regent on one side and a minotaur entrenched in a gloomy dungeon on the other, who looks more like a trustworthy good person?

Glance.

There are four members of the adventure team, all of whom have fourth-order strength.

Tanya was outnumbered and had to flee.

After this defeat, she had to abandon peaceful contact.

Taking advantage of the adventure team's exploration in the labyrinth, they encountered orcs, and suddenly came out of the ground and attacked the goddess Sanny!

After the sneak attack was successful, Tanya kidnapped the injured Sunny and quickly fled into the depths of the labyrinth, where she hid.

The Minotaur are born with a magical sense of direction and will always remember every fork in the road they have taken.

What's more, the ancestral spirit fused by Tanya has lived in this underground palace for eleven years, and even if he closes his eyes, he won't get lost.

The three foreign adventurers were soon left behind by her, trapped in the labyrinth, and went around in vain.

Tanya felt that she could finally sit down and talk to Lady Sunny in peace.

However, this is just wishful thinking on her part.

Sanny, the goddess officer, is pious in faith and brave in battle.

It's a pity that he has a paranoid personality, an irritable temper, and a small brain, so he can't listen to Tanya's explanation at all.

Tanya is also not a good-natured person.

Two hot-tempered ones, touch each other, and they explode at one point!

You say a word, I say a word, the more you speak, the more stiff you become, and finally turn your face!

Tanya was so angry that Sunny was so angry that she decided to beat her up.

Beat her down, and then talk well.

Unexpectedly, Sunny is also a master who would rather bend than bend.

I can't beat Tanya, and I'm angry!

unexpectedly blew up the magic pool, pulling Tanya to the end......

The kidnapping operation ended in a tragic end.

Afterwards, Tanya reflected deeply.

"Senior brother, my mistake lies in my impatient personality and poor eloquence."

"I'm the worst at persuading people in my life, and I prefer to beat people down with my fists."

"When I meet someone like Sunny who has a strong personality and doesn't eat hard and soft, I'm out of line."

Tanya smiled slightly wryly at Allen and continued to speak.

"Since I can't do it myself, I have to ask someone to help."

The reinforcements that Tanya brought in were none other than Kelly.

Compared with her, Kelly can be regarded as sharp and eloquent.

What's more, Kelly has awakened the 4-ring "Monster Charm Technique"!

If you can charm the goddess official, it is not difficult to make her obedient.

Tanya thought very well, but unfortunately it backfired again.

As a priest, Sunny is always protected by the Holy Light, blessed by God's grace!

Charm hypnotic magic doesn't work for her!

Kelly joins the assembly established by Tanya to meditate together, and the result is a busy affair.

After much effort, he still couldn't convince Sunny that the Minotaur was the innocent victim.

Kelly didn't help, so she didn't want to go, so she gave Tanya an idea and asked her to find Alan.

"My brother is the best at dealing with women, and he will definitely be able to come up with a good way."

Tanya paraphrased Kelly's exact words.

Alan doesn't think he deserves the assessment.

Maybe my sister is not boasting this, but sarcastic about him.

However, he was very pleased to learn that his sister and sister got along well and often visited each other to help each other.
