Ina, who was 'rescued' by Ronald and the others, was extremely well-behaved.
More accurate.
After Costart broke the ice that was enough to make people despair, the girl became so frightened that she didn't even dare to say a single unnecessary word.
In this way, the team of six people returned to the original route.
In the deep pit where the support team initially split up, they sat at the intersection for a short rest while waiting for Dawn to return here.
Only at this time did Ina dare to talk to Megan in a low voice.
——But still let Ronald hear clearly.
"Uncle Megan, who are these two?"
"They are here to support us in developing the ruins. You have been missing from the camp for a few days and have asked for help from outside. They can be trusted."
"But I've never heard of such a powerful spellcaster before!"
"It's the person brought by Professor Dawn. It's normal that you haven't heard of him."
"Which school in Entrod has such a powerful guy..."
"If you ask that, I don't know either."
"..."
Megan and Ina have a good relationship.
When the two of them discussed in a low voice, there were even helpless smiles and sighs, completely acting like close friends.
But one thing is obvious anyway.
——Ina has been trying to ask Ronald about their identities.
It's just that Megan herself doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so naturally she can't give her an accurate answer.
"..."
"We have been waiting for a long time, and things may not be right on Dawn's side."
After some time, Ronald suddenly stood up.
He was originally using magic to confirm the situation of Dao En and others. But at this moment, a magic barrier suddenly appeared in front of him to isolate the insight, directly blocking external magic detection.
——There's danger on Dawn's side.
-- and possibly targeting Ronald's probing abilities.
Now the team was completely following Ronald's command. Only Sellier said one more thing after standing up:
"But we agreed to meet here before."
Ronald immediately replied:
"The road Dawn and the others are walking is the same as us. It is also a completely one-way road. As long as they successfully turn back, we will definitely encounter them - besides, if their way is also blocked, we may not be there.
This ability to come back.”
If you explain it with sufficient reasons, no one will refute it.
The team of six people set off on the road again, this time heading towards the path explored by Dawn and the five others.
Walked down in more than ten minutes.
The situation here is actually similar to Ronald and his friends.
Monotonous underground tunnels, gradual upward slopes, and quiet environments.
Only at the thirteenth minute, when the passage in front of them was blocked by cold rocks, did they confirm that the facts were what Ronald thought.
The escape route for Daun and the five people has indeed been blocked.
It's just that unlike the solid ice they encountered, the rocks blocking the way here are harder and more difficult to destroy.
"This thing... has been enhanced by magic."
At this time, Ina from the team took the initiative to come out.
The girl gently touched the rock in front of her with her palm, and then immediately came to the conclusion:
"Its structure is several times harder than normal rocks. The difficulty of breaking it is not the same as that of previous ice blocks..."
"Get out of the way." Ronald asked Ina to go away in a calm tone.
This time he didn't ask Costat to deal with the problem.
As he walked forward alone, the mantra from "Almagest" immediately blurted out:
"Starting from the relationship between the entire earth and the sky will begin to form our understanding!"
Bang--
Magical power from the stars.
How can a rock stop it?
Ronald had no intention of breaking the rock, but directly controlled the rock with the power of [Demensor]!
The rocks that blocked their progress were thrown away directly!
In almost ten seconds, there was a loud noise embedded deeply into the front mountain peak, like a gem set in a crown by a giant.
"..."
"This, what kind of monster is this?"
Facing this scene that was far beyond reality, Ina, although she was also a member of the mysterious side, still murmured uncontrollably.
She knew visually that the size and weight of the rock was not something that humans could handle. Even a powerful spellcaster could deal with this obstacle with a single spell...
Isn't this a bit outrageous?
Beside Ina, the middle-aged spellcaster Megan gently patted her shoulder and comforted her with a somewhat skillful tone:
"Ina, that's probably what happened."
"We have great people helping us this time. All we have to do is just follow along."
"Yes...that's it." Ina nodded blankly, and then she suddenly followed the few people walking out of the tunnel.
…
Coming out of the tunnel, the environment here is quite different from Ronald and his friends.
Although this is also a canyon, the plant coverage rate is much lower. There is basically no green in the cold land. Only cold zone plants can occupy the living soil here.
"..."
Standing here, Ronald frowned and looked at his feet.
He can now feel that the object that blocks his sense of magic is below, buried more than a hundred meters deep. The person who arranged this thing is obviously well prepared, and it will not be easy to deal with in a short time.
Is there anything else I haven't discovered yet...
With this thought in mind, Ronald checked the surrounding situation with his eyes.
But Sellier, one of the six, had his own idea. The explorer walked directly to the right side of the tunnel exit, then squatted down in front of a more obvious plant and pushed aside some branches at the bottom.
He found what he wanted -
A uniquely knotted piece of cloth is wrapped around the bottom of the plant, with the knot pointing deeper into the canyon.
After confirming what was in front of him, the explorer immediately said to several other people:
"There is a mark left by Dawn here. Because they could not go back, they continued to go inside."
This was obviously the contact mark that the three of them had agreed upon.
With Selier’s information, Megan followed up and said:
"Leaving marks after being blocked means that they were not in direct danger. After all, ordinary people don't have powerful spells like adults, so their only choice is to continue exploring."
Sellier looked at Ronald with complicated eyes:
"To be honest, I have encountered this situation before when I took risks and had to choose to move forward. This ability to have your wishes implemented is really important."
The envy and admiration between the two people in these words were not concealed at all.
Faced with such flattery, Ronald first reminded himself of his helpless posture when he first crossed over, and then enjoyed the comfort of being flattered.
"It's still important to catch up with Dawn and the others."
