Joseph was afraid of his wife, something he would never tell outsiders. Vertex He is often scolded by his wife at home, because he is always running around and fooling around, so his wife is very angry every time she sees him. In desperation, Joseph had no choice but to flee to the city of Doma to take refuge, and did not return home for half a year.

And Joseph also has a problem, that is, his wife does not want to let himself continue to be an adventurer, and his wife thinks that the adventurer's work is very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will cost her life. The family has enough savings, and the next thing to do is to let Joseph go back to enjoy his old age.

But Joseph was unwilling, Joseph was an adventurer who had lived his whole life for adventure. Just as he didn't let Lily continue to be an adventurer but Lily had to rebel against his parents' orders, he had to rebel against his wife's orders and continue to live as an adventurer even if he was old.

Joseph could understand his daughter's feelings, but as a father, he was reluctant to let his children go through such dangers. I think his wife is also worried about herself as much as she worries about her daughter, right?

"Are you sure you won't go back?" Joseph had already decided, and he had to figure out what was going on. Yesterday as he was leaving the ramp, he stumbled upon what appeared to be a space beneath the canyon, and that space was most likely connected to Otto Karon in some way. He promised Eschenbach to investigate the situation below, and what he promised must be done.

Lily nodded and said to Joseph, "I will never go back without bringing you back, what you are going to do is a dangerous thing, right?" In that case, why don't you let me go with you, after all, I'm much better than you. ”

Joseph reached out and knocked Lily on the head and said, "The little girl is still proud, and from experience, your father and I have been more than you for decades." ”

"Don't accept a fight?"

"Forget it, it's ...... hurt your body"

So the two of them walked towards the depths of the canyon, and as they went, Joseph explained to Lily, "I found a tunnel under this yesterday that seemed to lead to something deeper. But because I didn't know what was going on below, and because my legs and feet weren't very good, I didn't go down for the time being. According to the habits of Naotokaron, I reckon there are many passages in this canyon, and I am not the only one I have found. So I wondered if I could find a way somewhere else. ”

"That seems a bit difficult, right? It's hard to even see things around here, and it's even more inconvenient to find those hidden passages. ”

But you can't help but look for it, Joseph reached out again and knocked Lily on the head and said, "Don't complain so much, follow me to find ...... By the way, you just said you killed an Otto Karon, where did that guy come from? ”

"The inside of the stone wall on the ramp seems to have been moved to my side from somewhere else through a tunnel hidden in the stone wall."

When Joseph heard this, he turned around and said, "Let's go, go to the stone wall, maybe that passage leads to the underground." ”

The passage Joseph found before looked like a completely vertical cave, and it should not be convenient to climb up according to Ottokaron's body, and Otto Karon must have a passage that could walk normally.

So Lily and Joseph went back to the ramp before, but when they returned, Lily saw no trace of the body of Ottokaron, who had been killed by herself, only traces of blood dragged on the ground.

Joseph stared at the blood on the ground, and then said to Lily, "Maybe it was dragged away by the other Ottokarons?" Just from this trail...... And it's not sure where it went. ”

The surrounding blood was spread to other corpses, making it difficult to find out where the corpse had been dragged to somewhere. Maybe the corpse was eaten, or maybe it was just to keep the corpses of their own kind from being left here.

Lily stepped forward and kicked the stones apart, revealing the passage hidden behind the stones, and said, "This is it, and Otto Karon must have come from somewhere else through this passage." ”

Joseph was the first to enter, and he didn't worry about whether there would be other Otto Karon ambushing it, and the dim tunnel could only be entered, otherwise there would be nowhere else to look for it.

The worst thing is that it can't be ignited due to the influence of the miasma, and if it is ignited, it will directly ignite all the miasma below and cause a big explosion.

The two walked into the tunnel, and Lily followed Joseph and said, "Why don't you go in, Dad?" I'll just go in alone. ”

"What nonsense? What if you go in? You can only kill monsters, and you don't know how to investigate the surroundings. I'm here to investigate, not to fight, so wouldn't it be for nothing to let you go? ”

"Cut ......," Lily pouted and added, "There doesn't seem to be any miasma in this hole, you can take off your mask." ”

Joseph took off his mask when he heard this, and sure enough, the air in this cave was much fresher than outside, and for some reason the miasma was not able to reach it.

"You don't think you've ever been afraid of these toxins or anything like that." Although Joseph couldn't see his daughter, he still knew that Lily was right behind him: "I remember when you were a child, you were bitten by a poisonous snake, and you pinched the snake to death without doing anything......"

"That snake meat is pretty tasty." Lily said to Joseph, "I was also pricked by a ghost-faced scorpion the other day, and the toxin didn't seem to have any effect on me. Dad, do you think I'm a normal person? ”

Joseph hesitated, but still smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to answer me when you ask me this, after all, any toxin has no effect on you, I don't think this is the category of normal people, right?" ”

"So you don't have a clue about my invincibility?" Lily asked Joseph, "For example, you or your mother's ancestors have inherited such special abilities or something?" But you don't remember? ”

"Of course not, how can such a thing be inherited? I'm ...... your mother and I" Joseph was stunned for a moment, he suddenly remembered one thing, when he met the black mage under this canyon, the black mage gave himself a pill in order to prevent himself from being invaded by the miasma, could it be ......

Lily saw Joseph pause suddenly, and originally thought that something had happened to Joseph. But after hearing nothing else, she continued to ask, "What's wrong?" Do you have something in mind? ”

Joseph then said, "That's right...... Thirteen years ago, before you were born...... When your mom wasn't pregnant with you, to be exact. I met the Black Mage underneath this......"

Joseph then told Lily about his encounter with the Dark Mage, and continued, "Then I left the canyon and went home, and a few months after that, your mother became pregnant with you...... I wonder if it's because I took the pill that the black mage gave me in the first place, so that you can't be poisoned? ”

Lily said in disbelief, "Wouldn't it?" Is that black magician so powerful? Just taking a pill can make your child immune to poison...... So why can't you be poison-proof? ”

"I've said it's just speculation, and no one can guarantee whether what I'm saying is true or not...... What was that?! ”

The two of them heard a loud commotion, and it was clear that it was coming from below.

Joseph stopped talking, he waited for Lily to listen intently to what was going on. He also knew that Lily had a keen sense of hearing, and at this time Lily only had to listen to the sound to know what was going on.

Lily, as soon as she understood what the voice was all about, grabbed Joseph's hand and was about to run out: "Hurry up!" There's a collapse in a space below, and it's about to collapse! ”

Down?! How so! What exactly happened down to cause the collapse?

But Joseph couldn't care so much anymore, and even though one of his legs was inconvenient, he still tried his best to keep up with Lily's footsteps and run out of the hole he had just entered. Fortunately, they didn't go too fast because of the darkness of the cave, and this time it only took a few dozen seconds to get out and reach the entrance of the cave.

And when they ran out, they had already seen the dirt and stones falling from the surrounding stone walls, and if they didn't hurry up, they would definitely be buried in this canyon.

At this point, Joseph threw away all his luggage and ran up the ramp with Lily.

"Someone!" Lily turned around when she heard something again, and saw an Outokaron charging at them.

Seeing this, Lily hurriedly drew her twin swords and was about to fight, but Otto Karon ignored Lily and Joseph, jumped over their heads with a huge body, and immediately ran up the ramp.

The guy wasn't here to fight Lily and Joseph, he was running away, and he knew that the canyon was going to collapse soon, and if he didn't get out quickly, it would definitely be buried.

So Joseph pulled Lily and continued to run up: "Hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”

Lily sensed that something was wrong, that Otto Karon seemed to be afraid of something when he ran away just now, not of the collapsing canyon, but of something behind.

Is there anything behind this? Is there anything else that can make Otto Karon feel scared?

When Lily turned around, she seemed to see a special light in the dim miasma, and the blood-red light did not look like a source of fire, but more like two huge eyes......

But at this time, there is no longer so much to care about, and this ramp is gradually crumbling, and if you don't leave, you will really die here.
