Xia Zhe and his party followed the map and came to the crystal mine located in the southeast of the two tribes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, when they arrived, they found that it was already in a state of shutdown.

"Well, what's going on?"

Standing at the entrance to this sprawling open-pit mine, a piece of writing reads, "Danger! Forbidden!" The signs all show that there is no one here now.

"Since the disappearance of the first clansman, there have been dozens of clansmen who have not been heard from, and if you count the people of the "Broken Night", it is hundreds."

"In addition, because the two clans started a war due to a misunderstanding, the only miners here were also recalled to Lava City, so the mine was also suspended. I believe it's the same over there in Broken Night. "As the most elite warrior of the Lava Tribe, Tory knows a lot about the situation here.

"You're saying that all the missing people have been heard from here?" Reggie asked.

"No, but most of them were seen here for the last time." Tolly remembered his childhood sweetheart, who just didn't disappear in the mines, but when she was out hunting.

Tolly's answer made Reggie clueless again, but since there are the most missing people here, I believe there must be some clues here.

Fortunately, Xia Zhe agreed to go on the road with Tory, otherwise for the mine that was basically in an abandoned state, with Xia Zhe's own ability, it would be difficult to find clues.

Tolly knew a little about the missing people, so he quickly walked through the open-pit mine covered with wooden supports, and several people quickly checked all the key points in this huge space......

"There are still no clues, the missing person has left nothing, and there are even doubts about the real location of the disappearance, whether it is here or not." Xia Zhe picked up the discarded mine hoe on the ground and waved it casually to show his current irritable mood.

Reggie, who was sitting on the side looking at the map, also frowned, as if his thinking was hindered by some difficult problem.

"Reggie-sama, did you find anything?" Tolly looked at the old man and put the hope of a breakthrough on him.

"It's strange that Sora is missing here." Reggie nodded to the place where the mark was drawn on the map, "But judging by the crystal stone he handed over to the Starry Night Patriarch, he must have been here." ”

"And here, here, here...... It was the place where all witnesses saw the missing person for the last time. Reggie sighed, "Although there is no necessary connection at all, they have more or less something to do with this mining area. ”

“！？” ×4

It was a big discovery, and anyway, the old man came up with the only thing that could now count as a clue.

"Yes, Daman's father is absenteeism here, and Gödel's sister cooks for absenteeism here...... "The more Tory spoke, the more he realized that the missing people were indeed related to the mining area, and if it was the other way around, there was no one who had nothing to do with the mining area.

"What the hell is going on, why does the guy who kidnapped the tribesmen have to choose someone who has contact with the mines." Reggie seemed to have caught something, but everything was a mess.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the ore here?" Andreina offers her opinion.

"Probably not, it's not just miners who come into contact with ores, you must know that the crystals here are sold all over the continent, and the leather armor on Tolly's body is exchanged for the crystals here." Reggie shook his head.

"Could it be that there is something in this mining area that has made the miners who came into contact with missing." Xia Zhe also thought of something.

But Reggie still shook his head, "But there are still many missing people who haven't been to this mine, which doesn't make sense." ”

However, just as everyone was racking their brains to think about the possibilities of the incident, Black Rose suddenly pulled the corner of Xia Zhe's clothes and whispered, "Xia Zhe, there is a familiar smell here, which makes me very annoying. ”

"Huh? What's wrong, could it be that Alwin ate too much pi? Xia Zhe mercilessly injured the female knight who kept eating.

But Black Rose didn't react to Xia Zhe's ridicule, she just pulled Xia Zhe and walked towards a dark mine.

"That...... Black Rose, what's wrong? Did you find something? The old man noticed this, and his keen intuition felt that Black Rose must have discovered something, because judging from the other party's frowning brows, it didn't look like he wanted to find a place to show affection with Xia Zhedan.

"Andrena, you and Tolly and Alwyn stay here, let's go in and have a look." After speaking, the old man followed Xia Zhe.

The three of them walked towards the depths of the lightless mine, and Reggie walked behind Xia Zhe with a torch, scattered slag and tools along the way.

I don't know how long it took, but Black Rose led them to a temporary resting place for miners, and they stopped moving.

You can also see buckets and dry food stored here. Although no one has taken care of it for a long time, the neatly stacked materials are still very conspicuous.

"Ada, what the hell is here, it looks like no one has eaten here for at least a few months." Xia Zhe picked up a black lump, and always felt a wave of nausea welling up in his heart.

Reggie also began to check for anything suspicious here, but when it was half loud, he didn't find anything at all.

Finally, Xia Zhe couldn't stand the stuffy smell in the mine, and knocked on Black Rose's head, "Okay, stop playing, find out if you find anything, I can't stay here." ”

"Hmm...... That's it. Blackbriar blushed as she pulled out a small fragment the size of a fingernail from the pile of moldy food.

"It'...... It has the smell of a "purifying potion". ”

Black Rose's sudden noun surprise both Xia Zhe and Reggie, could it be that the people who disappeared here have any connection with that mysterious organization?

Then, when Xia Zhe asked Black Rose again if there were any other clues, she just shook her head.

They didn't find them anymore, so they could only walk towards the outside of the mine with a lot of concern, and now the clouds around their heads were getting thicker and thicker.

I thought I'd ask Tolly about the crumbs when I came out.

However, when the three of them returned to the makeshift camp, there was nothing in front of them except their duffel bags and the flesh and bones that Alwyn had left behind.

The three people who remained here disappeared without any movement, including even two S-class with mass destruction.
