Laura wondered what David's expression meant: "You want me to stay outside?"
"if you can……"
"Don't worry, I have more experience in this situation than you." Laura thought David was worried about his own safety, but Laura, who had had an adventure experience, did not feel that such an ordinary cave could threaten her at all.
She had no idea that what David was worried about was not Laura's safety at all, but the safety of this cave - after all, this man known as the Tomb Destroyer would collapse wherever he went. He was worried about what would happen if he and Laura entered the cave together.
The next second the cave collapsed.
I really couldn’t explain such an outrageous reason to Laura, so I had no choice but to light a torch and walk into the cave.
Laura also took out the flashlight hanging on her belt and followed David into the cave.
The temperature in the cave was a little lower than outside, which made David feel a little cooler. Other than that, the two of them walked in the cave for a while and found nothing unusual.
Although the cave was obviously downward and spiraling, it didn't take long for the two people to reach the end of the cave.
"That's it?" Looking at the cave that had reached the end, Laura looked at the various ores on the surrounding cave walls and could only say helplessly: "It seems like this is just a very ordinary natural mine."
"It seems like this is just an ordinary natural mine. Let's go."
As for the stone tablet in front of him, he had just observed it, and the few identifiable contents had been read out by Laura.
During these days, in addition to Fording working hard to learn English, Laura and Mark were also learning the lingua franca of this world—in fact, Fording was also learning.
But now he is also confused. Is this an altar for the elves? But the elves seem to be unwilling to live in such a cold place: "Maybe a small number of humans have lived here?"
So she quickly noticed something special.
At this time, David also squatted down and fiddled with it a few times, and saw the stone slabs engraved with various patterns below: "This area seems to be paved with stone slabs."
"So?" There are some smaller caves in this kind of cave, and gaps and the like are normal, right?
"Did this place once belong to any human kingdom?"
Laura, who has experienced the Himihu Incident, is no longer the ordinary girl she was when we first met her. Now she is a top adventurer who has rich experience in distress and can always make the most correct judgment in the shortest time.
"Underneath this is a stone slab that has been carefully processed."
There was no warning to be careful. At the moment when the monster launched its attack, Laura and David had already launched the attack first. In just a blink of an eye, two arrows had been shot towards the eyes and throat respectively.
"There seems to be nothing else." Laura tried to search for gaps in the surrounding stone walls again, but found no more: "Although I don't know the reason, this ancient altar and the mineral vein are mixed together, maybe it is
Caused by crustal movement..."
"If that's the case, what's the use of this thing?"
She was still hanging there without moving, she just didn't want to come up.
It was an ugly creature nearly three meters tall, with unusually thick arms, covered in dirty white hair, and holding a huge wooden stick in its hand.
"Thank you ... bless, present here ... the results of hard work ... Hope ..."
The footsteps behind her had let her know that David had arrived by herself.
"This is ..." Located in the center of the empty hole, there is something similar to stone monuments. It is obviously an artificial product, and there are texts engraved on it: "It is a word!"
"I go down and see!"
When Laura was shocked by the other party, the giant monster also found Laura and David.
"Huh ~ Fortunately, I responded fast enough." After speaking, I looked at David, who was one meter above myself, and revealed half of my body at the same time.
Jump. "
"..."
The two climbing picks fell for a while, and finally jumped down. Laura moved to the bottom. She found that the space here was not large, only a hundred square meters of size, standing in the same place with a flashlight, you can see clearly here, you can see clearly here. You can see clearly here. You can see clearly here.
All positions.
David can't help but think about it. After all, there are examples of Mark Walney and potatoes before. Laura and ancient altars are very logical.
Of course, there is another possibility: this altar does not exist, but Laura appeared, it appeared.
Although the location is a bit remote, there is also a biased advantage, that is, it will not be encircled by the 'various forces'.
Laura suddenly remembered that when David introduced this world before, he mentioned that the words were the language used by humans in the world, which means that this altar should be built by humans.
"Wait." David was about to turn around and was squatted in the corner. Laura, who was studying in the corner: "It seems like there is wind here."
"Maybe you can try it?"
The handwriting above is not complete, most of which can be seen clearly. Only a small paragraph can be read. With Laura's movement, she quickly found the base of the stele, and more artificial manufacturing covered by the dust below.
trace.
Stretching his hand on the wall with a metallic luster ore, David said that if this is a field, the development of the game, the place of birth is quite good.
Raising his hand to release a golden yellow light, Laura and David's body were successfully protected by the golden brown shield, and then David extended his left hand to aimed at huge monsters.
At that time, a sacred light appeared and exploded in front of the monster.
"There is a cave here."
Without something to explore, Laura lost interest in this place. He was going to return to the ground on the ground along the rope used by David (fixed with iron nails).
David watched Laura's palm and squatted there to feel something, and then groped on the wall for a while, and finally stopped in one place and tapped a few times with a mountaineering pick.
But this is not the most critical. The key is that this stone wall has a chain reaction when it is crushed. Even the places stepped on by Laura's feet are crushed. Laura only feels empty under his feet, and the whole person falls down downwards.
Then, then
She has experienced a similar scene too many times, and she needs to deal with her very much. This time the action is slow.
"Continue to search for wolves ... What is that?" Return to Laura who returned to the sun again, and just said half of them by the huge creatures in the sight.
"Wait, there seems to be something below." Laura took a few more lighting sticks in his hand, and threw it directly below after litting.
There was no communication at all. After the two parties' eyes met for a second, the monster roared and rushed towards the two of them with a wooden stick.
Looking at the only words that could be read on the stone tablet, David guessed that this thing wanted to offer him some harvested food? And then protect himself and continue to have a good harvest?
The lighting rod fell to the ground the moment it was dropped. Laura was not far from below, it could even be said to be very close. Even if Laura failed to nail the mountain wall with a mountaineering pick to hang herself, if she fell directly, she would just need to maintain her posture.
Even if it's correct, it won't kill you.
David did not continue to waste time here. He waited until Laura climbed up and left here, then put the rope away and walked out of the cave together.
"I just want to see if I can go deeper." She stood up, picked up the mountaineering pickaxe, and hit the spot just determined a few times. Laura, who thought it would take some effort to break the stone wall, didn't expect that it was just
After two hits, the stone wall was shattered into pieces.
"According to the historical knowledge I know, a human kingdom has never ruled such a northern region. The Kingdom of Tilan is the northernmost kingdom in human history." The history and various 'glories' of the Kingdom of Tilan are often told as stories.
It was recited all over the kingdom, which is why David said it so confidently.
"Yeah, and it's not difficult to mine." This kind of open-pit mine is the easiest type to mine. He has no way to judge the reserves now. Even if the reserves are not high, they are enough for the current Winter Village: "It seems that in addition to hiring a blacksmith,
, we still need to recruit a few miners.”
"Want to pull you up?" David had already retracted his hand. He had already seen that Laura could climb up with a mountaineering pick even if he didn't help.
David stood there thinking about various possibilities. Laura had roughly explored the entire altar, and after confirming that the patterns on the stone slabs on the ground had no special meaning, she lost interest in this place - the only one worth studying.
There was only that stone tablet, and the content on it was pitiful.
"This is an altar." After turning around a few times, Laura quickly figured out what it was: "It's used to thank the gods for blessings and allowing people to have a good harvest... um..."
David's reaction was very fast. When Laura screamed, the place where he stepped collapsed and fell, and he rushed out to catch Laura, but in the end he was still half a beat too slow, watching Laura fall before his eyes...
...Then a pickaxe head was nailed to the stone wall in front of him in mid-air, and it hung steadily less than one meter in front of David's eyes.
It is not uncommon for people to live in isolation. The human kingdom has never ruled this area, which does not mean that no one has come. Maybe the people who once lived here failed to survive due to environmental and other reasons.
"ah?"
The monster reacted quickly, stopping and turning sideways to avoid the arrows. Although the monster could not be killed immediately, the two arrows bought David and Laura some time.
Although this holy light did not cause much damage to the monster, it successfully interfered with the monster's sight and once again delayed the monster's movement.
Seeing that the arrows fired by Laura did little damage to the monster, David also dropped the bow and arrow and rushed over in stride.
At the same time, David's right hand burned with golden flames. When David rushed to the monster and the suddenly expanded holy light shield blocked the wooden stick in the monster's hand in mid-air, the golden flame in David's hand
The flames became more intense and fierce.
With a flash of bright light, the sacred fire thrown out by David's wave instantly turned the monster into a giant bonfire.
