Release that Witch - Chapter 273

[Chapter 272 North Slope Mine]

The deeper you go into the mine, the more humid the environment in the cave becomes.

Sylvie carefully avoided the dripping water from the top of his head, held the torch and slowly walked forward in the cave, even if there was no light, the Eye of Truth would not be blocked by the darkness, this was just to save magic power.

“We’ve reached a fork in the road.” Nightingale, who was walking in the front, stopped, “What cave is this?”

“The first fork in the road at No. 23 and the second door,” Lightning took out the notebook took a look.

“I hope this is the end,” Sylvie murmured, opening eyes completely shaped by magic power, “The left side…is out of the mining area, and there is no mine. The right side…is the same.”

Lightning wrote down the result, “Then, this There is one last door in the cave that needs to be inspected.”

“Let’s go,” Nightingale walked around from the front to the end of the team, leading everyone back the same way.

Her ability doesn’t seem to be as simple as being invisible. Sylvie can only vaguely see the magic power of Nightingale’s transformation, but cannot capture her figure and movements.

According to Lightning, she is the strongest fighting witch in the Mutual Aid Society.

This may be the reason why Roland asked her to follow him. There are rumors that this mine was once the lair of an ancient monster, and there have been several incidents of miners disappearing before.

Before setting off, His Royal Highness repeatedly told him to be careful, and if he encountered an uncertain situation, he should exit the mine first and then report to him.

Sylvie didn’t take it seriously, no monster could escape the detection of the magic eye, even the animal carcasses and writhing molluscs in the stone wall, she could see clearly.

There are four people in the expedition team, besides her, Nightingale, Lightning, and a little girl named Lucia.

Every time she discovers the ore, she transforms it into various debris, and then carefully sorts them into her pockets, saying that she will hand them over to His Highness for identification.

Lightning is in charge of drawing the topographic map of the mine. Of course, according to her own statement, any expedition cannot do without her proud tone. Sylvie can’t help but think of the captain who was temporarily stationed on Sleeping Island.

Cave No. 23 is a huge deep cave near the bottom of the mining area. After hundreds of steps, it divides into three forks. If you continue to go deeper along these forks, you will find more branches, but they have almost been extended by then. Outside the scope of the mining area, there is very little possibility of owning veins, so they will only go deep into this step to stop.

Returning to the original fork in the road, which is the door of the lightning record, Sylvie used her ability to observe the situation of the third door of the twenty-third cave.

The wider the gaze area of the eye of truth, the greater the consumption of mana, and it is also a heavy burden on the body, so she chooses to observe at each fork and explore one passage at a time.

“There are three more… Well, there is no mine, and there is at the end…” She was stunned, “There are five forks, and one of them seems to go back and forth.”

“Down?” Lightning repeated.

“That’s true,” Sylvie looked again, and the long and narrow passage turned down again, heading straight for the mining area. When she wanted to continue looking along this fork, A strong sense of dizziness rushed into her mind, interrupting her connection with the magic eye, “I think it may lead to a mine deposit.”

But this explanation is very far-fetched, and the intricate caves in the mine on the north slope are obviously not artificially dug , would not specifically search for ores to go to an unknown ore vein found before, which is sandwiched between two fork roads. If the eye of reality could not penetrate the obstacles, it would be impossible to find the pile of metal stones hidden under the stone walls and soil. .

“No matter what it is, just go and see,” Nightingale shrugged.

A group of people filed into the third door of the cave, and reached the end of the passage about a quarter of an hour later.

I saw that the passage was divided into five parts here, and the narrowest one could no longer be used for walking, and could only be climbed in.

The strange passage that Sylvie saw before was located in the middle of the five-forked road, and the terrain turned sharply downwards, almost forming a steep slope with the ground where they were standing now.

“It looks quite deep,” Nightingale took a torch to illuminate, “I always feel that the caves in this place are somewhat similar to those seen in the cliffs of the Impassable.”

“Let’s go back quickly after the inspection.” Lucia couldn’t help but grabbed Nightingale’s arm, “I don’t like it very much… I always feel like there is something staring at us in the cave.”

“There is nothing in the cave, Except for mud and stones,” Sylvie said, although she didn’t like this secluded and humid place very much, but her ability told her that there was no danger here. He moved his eyes to the middle one, and then was slightly taken aback, “…Huh?”

“What’s wrong?” Lightning asked.

“I…can’t see what’s going on below.”

“Can’t see?” The little girl asked in surprise, “Is it because I’m too tired to use my ability? Take a rest.”

“No, it’s not about ability,” Hill said. Wei closed his eyes and opened them again, but there was still darkness in front of his eyes, as if his vision had been deprived.

She suppressed her headache and further expanded her field of vision, but the result was that there was still no change. The surrounding soil was clearly discernible, only the middle area was completely shrouded in endless darkness, as thick as ink that could not be melted.

“There is something blocking my peeping.”

“You all stay here and don’t move,” Nightingale drew out two shiny silver weapons, “I’ll go down to check the situation, and I’ll be right back.”

“Don’t go!” Ervi pressed her sore forehead to stop, “There is only one thing that can produce such an effect. Even if you go, you will be in danger.”

“What is it?”

“God’s Stone of Retaliation,” she said through gritted teeth. “There is God’s Stone of Retaliation underground, and it is the kind that can cover the entire area!”

…

When Roland heard the news, he immediately mobilized the soldiers of the First Army to enter the mine on the north slope.

And the final investigation result was just as Sylvie had guessed, that there were a large number of God’s Stones of Retaliation hidden in the deep hole at the bottom of the mine.

After confirming that there was no danger, Roland also entered Cave No. 23 under the protection of his personal guards. He also wanted to see with his own eyes what the God’s Stone of Retaliation, which could seal off the entire bottom of the mountain, looked like.

“Your Highness, please be careful,” Carter reminded, “The exit is just ahead.”

“Magic power cannot be used here, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com It’s safer for you to stay above,” Roland turned to look at Anna who was following behind. , Nightingale and Lightning, “Isn’t it good to learn from Sylvie?”

“I’m better than you without magic power. If you can come, of course I can come,” Nightingale pouted.

“Where there is adventure, there is me.” Lightning puffed out his chest.

Anna didn’t say anything, but just stared at Roland intently. Seeing those clear eyes against the light of the torch, Roland knew that nothing he said was useless.

“Okay,” he sighed, “You must follow me, but don’t stay far away.”

Walking along the sloping cave to the end, Roland immediately understood what the chief knight meant by the exit.

The sight in front of him suddenly opened up, and an extremely deep and huge cave appeared in front of him.

Even without the help of firelight, he could clearly see that the overall light of the cave came from the God’s Stone of Retaliation like crystal prisms. They rose from the ground, each with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters, like a prism. Giant neon towers stood majestically in front of his eyes.
