Chapter 53: The Hidden Cave
It was already evening when I arrived at the Gray Blade Workshop's house, and it was almost the same as the first time I saw it, and there was no trace of anyone living there.
He's not here, so where am I going to find him?
"......" mica suddenly made an alarming sound.
"What's wrong mica?"
It kept staring in one direction, and I couldn't figure out what it was a wooden wall, which was no different from the other planks except for the darker color, but there must have been something that made the mica feel threatened. I moved to another corner to observe it, and there were no monsters or traps in it, what the hell was going on?
My hair is slightly floating and windy?
"......" mica began to stare at the plank again.
Why is there wind in the room? Also, the smell is a little wet and a little rusty. I touched the side of the plank and slowly tried to see if anything would happen to it.
No response.
I had the audacity to look at it, and it should be an ordinary wooden plank...... Wait, there's a hole down there, isn't that where I peeked inside and was spotted by Grayblade on the spot?! He had said that it was where he forged his weapon, and that maybe he was inside.
But how do you get in, what mechanism should there be, I think of TV dramas that there is a vase or other ornament that can't be picked up, and it opens as soon as you turn it. I turned everything around the room and there was no response.
Or hit it open, it's a plank anyway.
"Bang bang bang." I patted it to test the thickness, and estimated whether my small body would fall apart after the collision.
"Let's find something to bump into."
"Bang!" As soon as I tried to get the mica, I rushed over and smashed the planks to pieces.
"Does your head hurt?" I was so distressed that I removed the little piece of wood from its head, "I mean, I don't want you to hit something when I knock it away." ”
Mica shook her head and fell out of a piece of sawdust, it looked like nothing was wrong, and sure enough, the body of the monster was relatively hard, but you still have to pay attention.
"Don't do that anymore."
The opening let in the light, but it couldn't shine into the depths, and the sky was even more eerie at night.
"It's dark." How does this go? If something suddenly appears, you don't even know where it looks and is.
"Wow!" The mica grew larger, and the flames under its feet instantly lit up a considerable area.
"That way, you don't have to worry about the lights."
In the hole
"Tick Tick ......"
It was a cave with drops of water falling from above, its sound was very clear in the silence of the space, and the mica led me forward, the road became narrower and narrower, and the sharp rocks protruding from the top always hit it.
"Mica stop first." Ruth in front of her had to make the mica smaller.
As the light faded, it was dark in front of me, and I stayed where I was, unable to figure my way.
"Mica, where are you?"
A furry thing rubbed against my feet, and I was startled and realized it was mica. I felt a little safe holding it in my arms. After a while, my eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then I walked forward.
I don't know how long I walked, the air was not so humid, I couldn't hear the ticking sound, and I could see the warm yellow light getting brighter and brighter.
It's almost there.
“?” A particularly thin thread blew into my face. I took it down and looked at it in the faint light.
The black one breaks when you pull it, as if it is ...... Hair. I threw it away like I got a hot potato, how could there be hair here? Could it be the kidnapped children? Have they already been killed? No, no, no, I shook my head desperately trying to get rid of these thoughts, maybe it was Greyblade's hair......
Ah, what the hell am I talking about, he is half-bald in Gray Blade, how can he have such long hair.
I picked myself up again, and even if there were only corpses left, I would let them go home!
When I walked to the end of the cave, my vision widened, and the whole space was a big cave at a glance, and my front was an exit, and it should be completely dark when I saw it, and I didn't know where it was outside. To my right was a large stove embedded in the wall, which was blazing, and the warm light I had seen before was coming from it, and next to it was a long, dark red old table and a shelf full of tools. To my right was a fence door that resembled a prison cell, and I couldn't see what was inside from my angle.
Except there's no place to hide.
"He doesn't seem to be there."
I ran to the fence to make sure there was no one, and sure enough, I saw a few frightened-looking children, all about my age.
Great, they look fine.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." I lowered my voice to explain what I was trying to do.
The children were stunned and no one spoke, and I wondered what was wrong with them, "I'm here to save you." I said it again more gently.
One of the children seemed to come to his senses and ran up to me crying, "You save us, save us......"
Others who were infected also rushed over and cried, "Help us, save us, save ......"
The cave that had been quiet suddenly cried wolf, and my little heart was scared enough.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting." My voice didn't drown them at all, it made them cry even harder, so that they could be heard hundreds of meters away.
"Shut up!" I yelled as hard as I could.
The crying stopped abruptly, and I nodded in satisfaction, fine.
"If you want to go out, you have to be obedient, or I'll leave you here, understand?"
When the children heard that they were going to be left behind, they quickly covered their mouths and nodded, and some sobbed and hiccuped.
I was finally able to quietly study how to open the lock, and there was a chain on the door that was so thick that I didn't know where to start.
"Mica, can you bite this off?"
Mica jumped up and knocked her teeth and shook her head to indicate that she couldn't. It's just to imprison a few children who haven't grown up yet, so can they use such exaggerated equipment? This is the rhythm of electric welding.
"......" mica jumped in the direction of the entrance of the cave, and suddenly it became larger.
Someone's coming!
"Stay obediently, don't say anything, I'm here." I hurriedly told me to hide in the hole where I arrived.
"Woo, ah, ah......" A child's cry slowly came.
I looked in, and the Grey Blade came in with two children, a man and a woman of about the same age. It was the boy who cried the most, compared to the girl who just covered his face with his hands and kept shaking.
"If you cry again, I'll eat you!" The Greyblade was impatient.
He threw the two children to the ground like things, took out the key in his arms, opened the door, and threw them in. When the other children saw the Greyblade Workshop entering, they all hid in the corner and ran as far as they could.
Grayblade Fang nodded the number of people with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "Now my sword is even more powerful." ”
With that, he closed the door and went to the table to tinker.
I took out the knife I had prepared in advance, and I deliberately applied medicine to it in order to subdue him 100 percent, and he would fall as soon as he saw the blood.
It was a great opportunity, he was still with his back to me, I approached him lightly, and there were three, two, one meters left......
"Help us!"
No way...... Don't you see I'm saving you?! My knife is still so far away from being able to stab it! What are you going to do if you call me like that?!
