[Ah ~ we are heroic miners, we are the dragons of the coal sea...]
Wang Wang, who transformed into a miner, was mining enthusiastically and singing passionately.
There is a clear night sky above his head, fireflies are flying around him, labor is glorious, and no one can disturb his passionate work.
This song was his father's favorite song when he was a human being, and he would sing it almost every day. Having been a coal miner all his life, he struggled in the mines with the feeling of a prosperous and powerful motherland.
People often say that a son inherits his father's legacy, but he escapes from it. There is nothing more uncomfortable than hating that iron cannot become steel, right?
Reaching out to wipe the sweat from his head, Wang Wang looked behind him. He had already dug more than a dozen pits, but he still had not found the highest quality enlightenment stone buried by Alemende.
[...It should be in this place, nothing wrong, nothing wrong...]
Tosk said with some self-pity, it even began to wonder if there was any flaw in its ability to detect the soul.
"Over the years, the landform has changed due to exposure to wind and sun, and changes over the years.
However, you must never give up!"
Wang Wang imagined the background of his father's work. He worked day and night in the mines, facing dangers that might appear at any time for decades. His noble spirit was so great that he only worked hard for a while. Alemende was quite cunning. He buried the enlightenment stone in an abandoned mine without setting any markers or barriers. At the same time, in order to prevent it from being dug up accidentally, he buried it dozens of meters below.
.
This quarry can only be excavated physically. If you cast a spell, it will be immediately noticed by the guards of the quarry.
[...Maybe he was poached by Alemende...]
Tosk said tangledly that he was somewhat blaming himself for not being able to help Wang Wang.
"Didn't you say that the soul exploration of the Tooth-Drilling Clan will never fail?
I believe in you. Even if you can't find it, it's my incompetence and has nothing to do with you.
Tosk, remember, we try hard to seize opportunities, not for the sake of luck. Even if we lose the current opportunity, we must strengthen our ideals. All opportunities are icing on the cake, but if there is no brocade, no matter how bright the flowers are, it will be useless.
It won’t work.”
Wang Wang believes in Tosk, and he is extremely convinced, so they will never fail.
【Dad...】
Tosk can detect the soul and know that Wang Wang is sincere. This is the trust relationship that he dreams of.
"But searching aimlessly like this is really not a solution. Even psychic detection can only have a rough range. This is the cunningness of Alemande. Even it is not sure of the specific location, so it avoids being detected by you.
A similar situation in the mind.
And if you want to find its specific location, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work, right?"
Wang Wang stopped the excavation work.
Do you want to call Hedwin and the others to help?
No, we cannot let them know about the highest quality enlightenment stone yet. After all, one of the reasons why they serve him is that he is the heir of Alemonde and has an unlimited future. No matter how loyal they are, they will not
It's like being against Alemunde.
Being able to keep them secret about tonight's actions is the limit.
[Wait a minute...the branch of life reacts!]
Tosk just relaxed his suppression of the Branch of Life, causing the Branch of Life to emit a trace of power.
Normally, the root of life may have special power, but it will not actively reveal any ability at all.
A bit unusual.
"I feel it too, Tosk, please relax your suppression of it a little more!"
Wang Wang shared the Branch of Life with Tosk, and also felt its strange reactions. He had never felt its active consciousness before, but today it seemed to be full of life.
【Okay...】
Tosk followed Wang Wang's instructions and gave the branch of life greater freedom. At this moment, a seemingly invisible line extended to a certain place.
"Maybe it's there, dig!"
Wang Wang quickly ran to where the line pointed and dug underground along the direction it pointed to.
One meter...two meters...three meters...five meters...ten meters...twenty meters...thirty meters...fifty meters...
"Ding——!"
When we were digging more than fifty meters, the tip of the shovel suddenly hit something very hard, making a crisp sound like a metal impact.
Throwing away the shovel, Wang Wang knelt down and reached out to push away the gravel. A flash of blue light came out. It was something as small as a glass bead. When he looked carefully, he suddenly felt something like Doraemon.
The dream turned on a feeling like a time machine, and the world was spinning, and the body was pulled to a certain place.
As the world in front of him became clearer, he found himself on a deserted planet.
But he's not the only guest on this deserted planet!
"Dean?"
Wang Wang looked at the woman standing in front of him in shock.
"..."
The dean turned around and stroked his emerald green bangs with his slender green-white fingers, exposing the golden pattern on his forehead.
As if there was a dazzling light shining from it, the golden depiction shot out bright rays comparable to the sun. As the light poured out, Wang Wang was scanned all over.
"Ah——!"
Wang Wang stood motionless as if he were in an ice cave.
The dean in front of him was not the gentle and compassionate dean he knew, but the icy dean.
This ruthless dean was scanning his soul. Just being touched by her breath made him feel as if his soul was about to freeze and shatter.
Maybe he can survive, but after his soul is shattered, there will be no way to survive.
All the immortals in the world have their own disadvantages. His immortality is just the merit and self-care bestowed by the King of Hell, which allows the body to reincarnate continuously, but the soul is not included in this.
【Dad——!】
Tosk looked at the principal's sharp silver eyes and had the same feeling as Wang Wang. Not only them, but the whole world seemed to be frozen, or to be precise, dead silent!
The cold air released by the principal's silver eyes is very similar to the breath of death.
"Tosk...don't show any hostility."
Wang Wang swallowed a mouthful of saliva. In short, calm down first.
They just found the Enlightenment Stone, right? Then they arrived on this desolate planet in an instant. On this planet without any life, there was a woman who was exactly the same as the dean.
He remembered Laurana saying that the dean of the Enlightenment Academy was a clone, and her true body was on the front line.
Could it be said that what is in front of you is the real body? No!
He clearly remembers the psychic information Tosk received from Alemonde.
There are three highest quality enlightenment stones.
The first piece was owned by the first president of the academy, the second piece disappeared mysteriously, and the third piece was in the hands of Alemande (unregistered).
The piece they are looking for is the piece that Alemende hid. It is absolutely impossible for Alemende to share this enlightenment stone with the dean of the college.
[Dad...The Branch of Life says it can help us, but it has conditions.]
Tosk felt the will of the Branch of Life for the first time.
The dean did not take any further action, but there is no guarantee that she will not attack them. The most terrifying part is that it cannot detect her mind!
Ever since they came to this mine, something was wrong with the Branch of Life, which led them to find the Enlightenment Stone, and at this moment they developed a more active consciousness.
