After gathering information, the four of them walked out.

"This exchange shop. El said: "The male boss gives people a really strong sense of oppression, and completely avoids the topic. ”

"No way, people in that industry also have their own moral rules. Ellie said, "We have to thank him for getting so much information." ”

"yes. "Lloyd said, 'Then again, the man who came down the tiger should be a mercenary. ’

"But if it's a mercenary, why is he acting alone, in that case, let's report this to the section chief. ”

"Well, yes. Lloyd said.

The four of them were about to go back, when a fierce voice came from behind.

"Wait a minute, you guys. ”

'Ahh ’

"What's the matter, Valut, I heard that you've been on the road lately. ”

"Less nonsense, I don't need to talk about anything, how are you a lackey compared to this?" said Valut, "what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, you all of you in the Covenant League don't have any opinions, and I won't cause anyone any trouble if I do this. Waji said.

"Bastard, are you serious, you have not yet separated the winner from Uncle Ben and left the group, do you think I can accept it?"

Waji fell silent.

"Valut, don't get excited. ”

"Don't be verbose, outsiders shut up for me, although I don't know what your reason is, but you don't think you can have a good time getting out of this old city!"

With that, Valut drew his weapon and pointed at him.

"That's not good. Ellie said.

Waji said, 'Valut, isn't that a matter of course? neither I nor you have a permanent foothold, are we?

"I formed the Covenant Alliance only to form a force that would restrain you from doing anything reckless in the Old City. ”

"You were weak at first, but now that you've grown up, even if I leave, you can continue to fight against you. ‘

"So my mission is done. ”

Valut said, "You fellow... ”

Not only that, but sooner or later, the other members will also leave, graduate from the season of ignorance and do not know their own direction, and find their own path. Stubborn said.

"I'm sure they can do it. ”

Valut fell silent.

"You are the same, although most of the members are rude, but you still have the courage and will to refuse Rubahe's invitation. ”

"So, Valut, you will surely find your way. ”

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to say such innocent and ridiculous things, enough, no need to say any more, you have stained this place, and you will never be forgiven. ‘

"Let's make a decision, a one-on-one duel. Waji said.

Lloyd said, "Waji, you have to be impulsive. ”

"It's up to me to make a decision, don't worry. Waji said.

"Hehe, it seems that you still understand this matter, I will completely crush you, so that you can't stand up on the ground. "Then you should be much more sober." ”

Waji said: 'That's the end of the gossip, let's fight, I'll give it my all this time.' ”

The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

Valut was defeated.

"Bastard, have you been showing mercy to your men. Valut said.

"Although it's different from Randy's move, it's a foul trick just now, but in the face of you today, I can only show my best mercilessly. Waji said.

"That's all I can show as sincerity. ”

"Waji, you. ”

"Goodbye Valut, I've had a great 2 years. Waji said.

The four left the old city.

Valut stood in the rain: "No kidding, I must not accept it, how can I allow you to leave here alone." ”

On the way, all four were silent.

"Waji, you. Lloyd said.

"Haha, let you see the embarrassing scene, a little impulsive, not like my style. ”

"No, what should I say, that's how men should be. Lloyd said.

"Although I don't understand things between men, I do understand that you are sincere in facing him. Ellie said.

"Hmm. "I think he'll figure it out one day." ”

"Hehe, I hope so, let's go back quickly. Waji said.

Several people returned to the Support Section.

The communicator rang.

"Hello, I'm Lloyd from the Secret Service Support Section. ”

"Hello, Lloyd, hard work in the rain. ”

"Oh, it's Fran, what's wrong, is there any urgent mission?"

"Well, that, do you remember Mine Town?"

"Yes. ”

"What's wrong with Mine Town. ”

"It is said that there are demonic beasts on the side of the mine town again, but it seems to be an old mine located outside the town. ”

It's normal for magical beasts to appear in that kind of place. ”

"The miner's door hasn't been disturbed, but the inside of the mine is strange and needs you to take a look. ”

"Strange, I don't understand very well, but we'll go over right away. ”

"Okay, please everyone, in addition, there is a wanted monster on the mountain road, so you can dispose of it if you have the spare energy. ”

"yes, I see. ”

"Also, the weather conditions are different from those in the city, so it's a rare opportunity to drive there. ”

"Well, I know, if there's anything new, please contact us. ”

"Okay, Lloyd, come on. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hang up the newsletter.

El said, "Is it Fran?"

"Well, it's said to be a mine on the other side of the mine town that is in a strange situation. ”

Lloyd said: "The city's requests for support are all over, so let's go straight to the mine town, I heard that the weather in the mountain road area is good, we might as well drive there." ”

Vaji: "Got it, Captain. ”

"If you're driving, you'll have to go to the garage at the back door. El said.

She seemed happy, probably because she could drive the car.

Several people drove to the town of Mine.

"Hehe, in the blink of an eye, the weather after the mountain road is very sunny as Fran said. Ellie said.

"Well, the view after the rain is so beautiful. Lloyd said.

El: "Anyway, this car is fantastic. ”

"It's not worth driving on rugged mountain trails. ”

Waji: "It's a workshop, and it's going to be a big hit when it's officially sold." ”

"To the mayor of this mining town, do you want to find us something?"

"Well, it's Mayor Vic. Ellie said, "Once inside, the biggest room is the one." ”

The four knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, we're members of the Crossbell Support Section. ”

"Oh, come in. ”

After the four of them entered.

"It's you, it's been a long time, and you're still so spirited. Mayor Mare said.

Okaji said, "Yo, I haven't seen you in a while. ”

"Well, Mr. Okaji, how are you doing?" said Ellie.

"Oh, there are no after-effects, and the spirit is very good. Okaji Road.

"It was thanks to you at the time. Let me thank you again. ”

Ellie: "Hehe, my health couldn't be better. ”

"By the way, I heard that there are monsters in the old mines?" said Lloyd.

"Well, it's a ruined pit near town that has been abandoned for decades. ”

"Okay, sit down first, and my wife will make you tea. ”

"Thank you. ”

After the four of them sat down, they listened to the mayor explain the details.

"The blocked entrance was breached?" Lloyd said.

"Well, it's a decades-old door, but it's very sturdy, but this morning we found it broken. ”

"There was nothing unusual 2 days ago, so most of it was destroyed yesterday, and it was really someone who did something wrong. ‘

"It's really caring. Lloyd said.

"It was also mentioned in the commission that the people from the town went in to check and found the monster roaming inside. El said.

"However, since it's an ancient ruin pit, it's normal for demonic beasts to appear, right?" said Vaji.

"No, the problem is not here, it's the pit itself that is strange. “

Ellie said, "What do you mean?"

"Well, there was a hazy light inside, and the entire mountain wall was reflected in purple red. ”

"This is really weird. Ellie said.

"Since it's a tunnel from a few decades ago, naturally there will be no lights in it, and the reason for the glow is of concern. Lloyd said.

"Well, although it didn't cause us any actual harm, I was a little relieved, so I still contacted you who were busy with everything. “

"I'm already in the know. "The destruction of the gate is certainly not an accident, we are going to see it," Lloyd said. ”

"yes, I see. Ellie said.

"Understood. ”

"Oh, that's probably going to be interesting," Waji said. ”

"Okay, Okaji, you go and remove the barricades at the entrance first. ”

"Well, I know, then I'll go first, and you guys will come back. ”

"Great, he seems to be really healthy. ”

The mayor said, "It's all thanks to you, but his bad habit of gambling hasn't changed at all." ”

"I still go back on my day off, and I don't come back until I lose everything. ”

"Huh. That's right. ”

"Forget it, as long as you don't lose to the point of bankruptcy. Lloyd said, "Where's the abandoned mine?"

"Let's go downhill first, I don't know what the reason is, so be careful. ”

"Okay, then let's go. ”

Several people came to the abandoned mine.

I met Okaji at the door.

"You're here. ”

"Well, this is it, right?"

There are also wreckage left behind by the broken door on the ground.

"This is the broken door. Lloyd said.

"It looks like some kind of weapon cut straight through. Ellie said.

"Well, honestly, I believe that this is done by human power. Okaji said, "Anyway, this is the entrance." ”

A few people looked inside and saw a purple light.

"This light is quite eerie. Waji said, "There should be dangerous monsters wandering inside." ”

"What about Lloyd, depending on the situation, I'll have to contact the guards. ”

"It makes sense that it would increase the number of investigators. El said.

"No, let's investigate first, and if we can't handle it with our ability, it's not too late to request support. ”

"Understood. ”

"In that case, let's go. ”

"We're going to investigate, Okana, you wait here. Lloyd said.

The four walked in.

"It's a little unusual. ”

"The floor and walls were glowing, and the air always felt cloudy. Ellie said.

"Maybe it's a miasma or something, and there's a superior attribute here. Waji said.

"Oh, Waji, you?" said Ellie.

"Why would he say the same thing as Theo. El said.

"Hehe, I'm not as good as that kid, but I'm also very inspired," Waji said. ”

What to do, it would be dangerous to continue the investigation. ”

Lloyd: "That's right, though. ”

At this time, a strange sound was heard.

"The voice is. Waji said.

"It's not good, everybody stand back. ”

Several people hurriedly retreated.

As a result, the entrance was blown up.

The expressions of the four were grim.

"Mr. Okaji?"

"If you hear me, please reply. ”

"The voice didn't seem to be able to get out, and it was blocked. Lloyd said.

"What the hell is going on, what was the voice?"

Waji said, "By the way, El, why did you expect that? ”

"Ah, this is when I vaguely smell the smell of burnt, and I realized that something was wrong. El said.

"That's true. Waji said.

Ellie: "But it's rarely used nowadays, maybe it used to be for work?"

"No, no matter what, there shouldn't be any such mechanism left, it should have been deliberately set up by someone. ”

Ellie said, "This is?"

"But that's the only way to explain it. ”

"If you say that, the sound is the activation of the mechanism. ”

"Probably to cut off the retreat of those who enter. "Lloyd said, 'Maybe someone was around and manipulating it. ’

"Well, I don't know who it is, but it seems that I have completely fallen into the trap of the other party. ”

"It doesn't matter, there's a communicator that can handle it. ”

Saying that, Fran used the communicator.

Ellie said, "Is the communicator out of order?"

"You can't get a signal out of this place. ”

"Oops, it looks like this road is not going to work, there is no way, in that case, let's keep going, maybe there are other exits, and there may be other mechanisms to stay here. ”

El: "That's right, if the other party sets a trap, they will definitely force us forward." ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, let's go up. ”

Ellie: "Now it seems that the other party doesn't know what the intentions are, so be careful." ”

Waji: "Oh, this is the so-called wolf in front and tiger in the back, it's fun to be with you and you won't get bored." ”

"Your relaxed tone is a lot more down-to-earth now. Lloyd said: "Now we have nothing to make up for everyone and go all out and get out together." ”

"Hmm. Ellie said.

"Alright, let's go. ”

The four began a cautious search.

"If you look closely, these purple glowing things seem to be plants, and most of them look like mosses. ”

"No matter how you look at it, this place is not an ordinary tunnel. ”

Ellie said, 'I've heard of glowing moss in the past, it's called Semrian moss and it's a medicinal plant. ’

"Well, is there anything like that?"

"But this color is different from what I've seen, maybe it's something else. Ellie said.

"No, it is. Waji said, "It was under the influence of Qiyao that it became like this. ”
