Chapter 231: Frakan
Sevim summoned a ball of light that illuminated the cavern in front of him.
Although most of them have decayed and destroyed, there are still man-made traces of the place, although many of them have been covered with dust or buried in mud due to their age, but from those traces, it is an abandoned mine.
Tsukizakura brushes away the dirt with her foot and finds a rusty mine hoe.
No one was surprised, because the scholar Ofodin had already given a general introduction to the situation here, and a lot of the information came from the previous scholar investigation team.
A hundred years ago, it was a floating island that produced rare minerals, but thanks to the excavation of minerals, it has gradually become a town with minerals as an industry.
About 80 years ago, the minerals here have been depleted, and the residents who once settled here have moved away, but within a few years, this floating island has lost its inhabitants and has become an uninhabited floating island, and its name has disappeared from history.
Generally speaking, the reason why the floating island, which has lost its minerals, can maintain its prosperity for a period of time, is that it decays so quickly because the dimension here is too high, and the uninterrupted wind every day alone has made ordinary people of the sky unbearable, not to mention the lack of oxygen and cold caused by too high a dimension, which is completely uninhabitable, even if they are used to living in the high altitude, but the place is too high, not everyone can live here.
The rate of decay of this floating island is so rapid that even the Garonzo Public Library, which claims to be the largest database in the whole air, does not have much information about this floating island, except that it was once an island of minerals, and only the name of Frakan Island remains.
The meaning of the name is no longer known, but at least one more name is enough.
The straight cavern was not long, and in a few minutes they were in the main cavern that had hollowed out the mountain.
"It's a big ......," Bellamy muttered to herself, looking at the mine refracted by the light.
The enthusiasm and diligence of the miners of a hundred years ago are unreservedly displayed in front of everyone.
Obviously, before the mining of minerals, there was a large natural cave here, and the miners relied on this natural cave to use the most primitive timber construction, and transformed the originally impassable vertical cave into a three-dimensional structure extending in all directions.
Many of the bridges and passages made of wood have collapsed, but some of them are of decent quality and still stand in the caves, probably because of the collapse of the floating island, many places here have cracked, forming bottomless cracks, if you fall in, you will probably not be able to climb up, and you will fall out of this mountain, and the passage that was originally conducive to passage has now become a labyrinth because of this.
"Ravennia, be careful when you go up. ”
Of those present, Ravennia was the only one in heavy armor and carrying a large shield and flail, and with his current weight, he did not know if the decaying wooden passage could withstand it.
Robin was the first to move forward, as always, while Ravennia stayed where he was, waiting for Robin to find his way.
Here, there are many more things abandoned by the miners, such as wooden boxes used to transport minerals, tools for digging minerals, and various daily necessities, although they are not very specific, but they reflect the work and life of many miners at that time.
Scholar Alferdin's eyes lit up as soon as he entered here, everything here is history, and as a scholar, what could attract him more than history?
But he also knew that now was not the time to investigate this, and that there were more important things for him to do.
"Where was your teacher attacked?" asked Scott.
"In ...... More on top. Ofudin pointed to the top of the cave, "But because it was so sudden, the teacher didn't know much. ”
"It's really troublesome if you don't know the type of enemy, you don't know how to fight. Robin grabbed his hair and resigned.
"That's why we need to investigate, we're elites, right?" Scott glanced at Tsukizakura and said, "Let's go up, be careful with your step." ”
Actually, Scott's investigation team is indeed elite, but now the hidden danger is not an unknown and powerful enemy, but a stranger who joins in halfway.
In many cases, whether the cooperation is tacit or not is more important than strength, after all, no one else here has seen Yueying's fighting style, and they don't know how strong he is.
When fighting, whether there is a tacit understanding or not can be fatal at a critical moment.
If it weren't for the strength of level 7, Scott wouldn't have considered a stranger like Tsukizakura, not much else, as long as Tsukizakura had malicious intentions, it would only be a matter of minutes for this investigation team to be wiped out.
Arrange the moon cherry blossom with yourself, also to make it easy to control.
After Robin reached out to the walkable area, Ravenia and Sevim walked up together.
Although Ravennia wears heavy armor, he is actually a monk, and belongs to the kind of cultivator who will put all kinds of buff spells on himself before the battle, and sing chants while rushing up and knocking people with a flail - he can carry and beat milk, and he can be called all-powerful.
Savim, on the other hand, is a very traditional kind of magician, because she can open the magic shield, and she is responsible for protecting non-combatants.
The only non-combat member of the team,Naturally, it's Ofotin.,The core of this mission is to investigate the truth about the fall of the floating island and the monster that attacked the scholar's team.,Investigate the monster first.,Investigate the cause of the fall of the floating island.,Not professionals are basically blind.,It can be said that anyone in this team can die.,Ofedin can't have the slightest damage.。
Bellamy, on the other hand, is a character that Tsukizakura can't understand, only knowing that she has a rope tied to her, and other than that...... There's nothing left.
Scott is a typical swordsman-type character, a sword decorated with magic crystals, a light armor that is easy to move, and at first glance he is the male protagonist who came out of the story.
And Yueying herself, rather than the male protagonist, the female protagonist is more suitable for him.
"Yueying-chanyou, what do you think?"
Because they were at the back of the line, Scott and Tsukizakura were able to communicate privately, and in the team, only Scott and Bellamy dared to say a few words to Tsukizakura.
"It's still the same as before, I don't feel anything...... "Tsukizakura shook her head, "However, the wind is a little cold." ”
"It's normal for the mine here to go straight to the outside, and it's normal to have wind......" Scott said as soon as he realized something was wrong, "...... wind?"
Now, they had walked along the long wooden passage to the middle of the mine, and thanks to Robin's exploration, the crowd did not spend too much time on the decaying path, and it was very smooth.
But this sense of smoothness has always made Scott have an inexplicable sense of crisis.
“…… Isn't it time?"
"What?"
Tsukizakura turned and looked down at the hole below.
"There's something. ”
Scott was startled and immediately shouted to the team members in front, "Watch out!
"Huh?"
Except for Scott and Tsukizakura, the rest of the people were a little inexplicable, and they didn't feel anything at all.
Actually, Scott didn't either, but out of trust in Tsukizakura, he still reminded him - and this reminder saved everyone.
A black unidentified object, suddenly shot straight at Ofodin walking in the middle of the line, from the bottom up, and it was so fast that no one reacted.
- Except for the moon cherry blossoms that have been prepared for a long time.
The dagger was unsheathed, and Tsukizakura's hard blow knocked the unknown object into the air, and the sound of metal striking echoed through the wide cavern, sending Overaldin to the ground.
"What the hell is that!" robin shouted in disbelief.
The unidentified object was knocked away by Tsukizakura and stuck in the mud wall of the mine, allowing everyone to see its true body.
It was a black longsword, extremely long, and it didn't look like a human-like version, and after a moment of trembling, it pulled itself out of the mud wall, and the blade was aimed at Ofodin again.
Ravennia immediately dodged to Ofuddin's side and raised her shield, while Sevim began to gather her magic, ready to wreak havoc on the self-moving black sword.
"Self-aware weapons?" said Scott in surprise.
"It's not...... It's not that simple. Yueying said solemnly: "It's here!"
Green magic overflowed from the blade of the black sword, enveloping itself like a ring, and then, like a magic missile, it suddenly fell, and in a moment, a terrifying sound came from under the mine.
"What does it want to do!" Bellamy shouted.
Without an answer, the sunlight that suddenly shone in from below the cave told them the purpose of the black sword.
"Do you want to destroy this place and let us fall?......" The entire cavern trembled at the ravages of the sword, and although it was a little unbelievable, the sword seemed to have such abilities.
"Captain, what should I do?" asked Ravennia.
Scott clenched his fists and ordered, "You can only go up! It's too cramped here, go to a spacious place!"
At the command of the order, Ravenia immediately picked up Ofodin, who was completely unable to stand up, and ran up first.
The black sword suddenly swept by, blowing up the passage in front of them, and the power that could destroy the cave easily destroyed the rotten wooden passage, but the path was fixed to the cave wall, otherwise it would have been enough to make them all fall into the mine.
"Oops......"
The wind was blowing in the cave, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes, and a large amount of debris flew around, and a wooden box smashed heavily on the cave wall, and the rotten wood chips made everyone disgraced.
"It's over!" Robin shouted with his head folded.
Scott looked up and estimated, and immediately turned back: "Bellamy, rope!"
"Ready!"
The rope that bound Bellamy's body suddenly burst open, binding the rest of the people firmly.
"Thirty meters above!"
"Order!"
In the next second, the passage they were staying in exploded.
