Chapter 81: Underground

Many people have experienced the fear of being buried alive, but there are also more people who cannot imagine this feeling at all, because ordinary people do not have many opportunities to go deep underground. They keep a distance from normal people there, only miners, mages and butchers.

The Dragon Warrior will burrow inside.

...and the Paladins. Emily didn't forget Christina on purpose, but she really hadn't seen her friend with pointed ears for too long. The reason why she went down now was precisely to deal with another group of pointed ears, a group of her

People who I thought could be friends, like Ranger Laurana.

The hanging basket hung by a thick hemp rope was suspended on the edge of the pit. Flint was the first to get in. The hanging basket swayed for a long time under the weight of the dwarf before it regained its balance. Maya followed and stepped in. The dark elf was walking on flat ground and could not stand at all.

There were signs of instability. Emily went up last, and she was the most guilty. She was so guilty that she asked Flint to pick her up inside, while the Baron's people helped her outside.

It's not that she has never sat on this crappy thing. As a battle mage, it doesn't matter if she has climbed through piles of dead people. She just has never sat in it and gone down into a deep pit. Only miners have this kind of experience. During the descent, Amy

Li kept raising her head, watching the thick hemp rope crossing the top of the wooden boom, slowly lowering them down.

Wouldn't the rope suddenly break? Emily looked at her companions. Only Flint was sitting properly, and Maya kept the same posture of looking up as she did. She was not the only one who was scared.

The hanging basket slowly lowered to the part of the pit where the sun couldn't reach. Maya and Flint's eyes lit up, which was a disguised reminder to Emily to cast a spell.

In front of her friends, she could only sigh in her heart. After all, foreign races couldn't understand how unaccustomed humans are to forcibly seeing things where they can't see anything. It felt disgusting.

Night vision, the simplest spell, has the weirdest effect. The user must endure a single world of almost black and white. In this world, if you encounter something shiny, even Flint's eyes,

They all look like two overburnt candles.

This is proof that they are born with dark vision. Under the moon and starlight, the dwarf's eyes can absorb the light to the maximum extent. When there is no light in the environment, the dwarf's eyes seem to glow by themselves.

"Let's go, why are you standing there?" Flint shouted again, not knowing how weird he looked to Emily, more like a wraith with glowing eyes.

Maya was quite dissatisfied with Flint actually speaking in the dark. The nun crossed her throat with her hand to signal for silence. She didn't know that this gesture was mostly used to threaten people on the surface, but it fit well with her previous identity. She also had dark vision.

As a race, the "ghost fire" in Maya's eyes was much brighter than Flint's. Whenever she shook her head, there would be a shadow similar to that produced when a torch moves quickly.

Emily was very uncomfortable with her friend's overly inhuman features, so she had no choice but to suppress her negative emotions and follow him. Night vision has a time limit, so it's best to get a clear picture of it before the time limit.

The entrance to the tunnel was found in a deep pit under the city wall. The foundation here involves repairing the castle as soon as possible, unlike the outside which can be left alone. To fill the hole, you must first determine how deep it is. No one knows better than Flint.

It is suitable for this job. Every castle has a hanging basket for lowering and pulling people down from the city wall. It is also suitable to use it in a pit at this time.

The opening of the pit burned by the light was wide and narrow at the bottom. The rope of the hanging basket was not very long. When it reached the shadow where the people above could not see it, the rope stretched to the limit. Flint threw a stone towards the bottom of the pit and heard the sound.

Not far away, he simply nailed the chisel he brought with him into the soil and climbed down. It was at this time that Flint discovered the tunnel. Apparently, when the light melted the soil, it also dissolved the entrance of the cave. He accidentally

The chisel knocked off the wet soil stuck to it.

The wind blowing out of the cave distorted Flint's beard. Based on his many years of experience in living in caves, he knew that this meant that the tunnel led to somewhere and had not yet been completely blocked.

The above stories were all told to Emily in detail by Flint while they were descending in the gondola. The female mage hummed along as she dealt with the matter, treating Flint as a verbose elder, which was indeed the case.

If you can see in the dark if you can drill holes, Emily can't trust Siyovala, and because she can't trust Siyovala, even Steve is suspicious, and Lancelot has become a one-eyed dragon. Forced

As a last resort, Emily called Maya to serve as multiple helpers.

The tunnels were dug out temporarily. Think of the lizardmen in Dragon War. Those scaly guys are really good at digging holes. The escape tunnels built by the castle all have wooden beams for support, but there are none here. As we go further

The fear of being buried alive in a landslide is heightened when walking in it. It doesn’t take an experienced miner to understand that such a tunnel cannot be maintained for a long time.

Otherwise, why would the evil dragon army have no way to escape? Emily asked Flint her question. Before the dwarf had time to answer, Maya gave her an extremely unfriendly glare first. People under dark vision are very

It was difficult to see each other's expressions clearly, so she guessed purely based on Maya's body language of turning her head suddenly.

"Wind." The nun pointed to the front and spoke concisely.

Indeed, the oncoming wind was so strong that it could mess up her hair. Could it be...?

She looked at the dwarf again, and the dwarf grinned: "Hey, get ready to broaden your horizons, Carlot."

Unlike Cristina, Flint always preferred to call her by her last name instead of her first name.

Since feeling the wind, the tunnel has become wider, the fear of being buried alive has disappeared, and the senses affected by the nervousness have gradually recovered, and Emily thought she heard the sound of running water.

Underground river? Seeing is better than hearing. She followed the dark elves and dwarves, gradually speeding up her pace until Flint, who was leading the way, stopped.

There is no road ahead. The exit of the tunnel is located on a straight rock wall, dozens of meters above the ground.

The wind can no longer be described as strong, and those who can blow can't open their eyes. Emily not only saw the underground river, but also discovered a waterfall, which was really a strange sight.

"You walked here yesterday?"

Emily asked, and Flint nodded. Since he couldn't find the imaginary enemy looking left and right, Maya also lowered her guard and stopped staring at this and that.

"Then how do you know you can reach the Eternal Forest?" The female mage was greatly disappointed. She imagined that it was a tunnel that could be used for troops to enter and exit, not an underground cave used for sightseeing. Besides, no one could see it. She lacked natural dark vision.

Relying on magic had side effects. The monotonous black and white spectrum had already made her dizzy and made her feel like vomiting.

"Never doubt a dwarf's sense of direction underground."

"I thought you lived high in the mountains."

What Flint said was obviously very reasonable, but Emily insisted on making an argument. Most of it had to do with the physical discomfort caused by her dizziness.

The dwarf put his hands on his hips and was about to retort, telling Emily that in order to become a good blacksmith, he first worked as a miner so that he could correctly identify the quality of the ore.

"Shh." Maya rarely used an expression familiar to surface residents.
