There is no telling yet how Sun Pilgrim was to get clear of the fiends' gate; listen to the next chapter, and it will be explained.
得 is dé after 怎麼 — how was he to manage it. 解 is jiě in 分解, to explain: the main reading of the character, against the xiè it took a few segments ago in a fighter's repertoire of moves. The storyteller's closing formula, unchanged from chapter to chapter.
The chapter ends with its hero shut inside a mountain in the shape of a fly, which is the first time a closing formula has had to leave him somewhere he cannot simply step out of. The gate is barred, the muster is searching, and the demon knows his name.
What has actually been lost is worth counting. He came for the queen and found her; he came for the bells and had all three in his hand. He has the tablet, the war letter is in his master's sleeve, and the queen has agreed to help him. The only thing that went wrong was the cotton wool, and it undid every part of it at once.
