Chapter 182 - 181. Two Options to save Astrid
"We actually found a way to save Astrid, but we need your help. Find us in the part of the Labyrinth where it snows." Tyler used the Labyrinth Communication Charm he had acquired from the Room of Fortune to send a message to Lutz. The charm only worked inside the Labyrinth; the receiver didn’t need any device to receive the message. The sender just needed to think about the person inside the Labyrinth.
An hour later, Tyler White, little Mathilda, and Lily Gomes found Lutz waiting for them outside.
"As expected, you seem to have some sort of map of the Labyrinth," Tyler said, noticing how easily Lutz had found them.
"No, it’s more like a compass for the Labyrinth. It points to where the abnormal weather is," Lutz explained, tossing a compass to Tyler.
Tyler caught it and examined it. The compass didn’t have traditional directions. Instead, it had four needles, each labeled with different environments: desert, snow, sky, and forest. With this, Lutz was able to navigate the Labyrinth effortlessly.
"Alright, mini Mathilda will explain the plan," Tyler said, pointing to Mathilda.
"Don’t give me weird names," Mathilda pouted, then turned to Lutz.
Lutz, focused on saving Astrid, adopted a serious expression and listened intently.
Meanwhile, Tyler subtly placed the compass into his Copper Pot, and created a perfect copy without anyone noticing—except for Lily. She wanted to turn around and call him out but refrained. After all, she’d promised not to pry. Still, her intuition told her Tyler was being sneaky.
"This Labyrinth was created by Angels who once served a certain god," Mathilda began. "They tried to replicate the god’s power and immortality, conducting countless experiments here. That’s why the Labyrinth required Astrid’s angelic blood to emerge."
She explained further that the angels were researchers who had come up with various methods to extend life spans. One of those methods was going to be their key to saving Astrid.
