The large pit that had sunken down from the surface was not too steep, and the slope of the slope allowed the team to descend from the ground at normal height to the bottom of the pit with the help of hooks and ropes, and then came to the edge of the upside-down tower, and the clarity of the vision became clear as the distance narrowed, so that everyone could then successfully appear at the tower gate in Urs's impression.

Except that the double doors leading into the tower were locked, and the iron-barred façade gave the impression that the building had been uprooted and inserted into the ground as if it had been uprooted and inserted into the ground was a prison for prisoners, though the young man knew that it was not a prison tower, but merely one of the ways to reach the depths of the earth from the surface world of Emerald Bay.

If we insist on tracing the relevant historical background, some bards and archaeologists of later generations would believe that the Inverted Tower was a marching passage built by the drow elves of the underworld to invade the surface world, but it is not clear why it was built.

Maybe it's because Castaño's team of designers happened to be drunk when they modeled it?

Urs shook his head, saying in his heart that it was possible, but it had nothing to do with himself in this life.

His current concern was how to get into the tower in front of him, and then led his team into the locked iron fence gate, thought about it, smiled and turned his head to look at Bellinglith and asked, "Future Miss Archmage, can you show us your lockpicking skills without hesitation?" ”

"Hmm, as a professional thief in the team, what's so difficult about opening a lock?" When the little girl heard this, she immediately straightened up her little chest, and almost smiled at a flower, showing a non-problematic expression on her face, and then put the magic guide gun in her arms into the space ring, and the two lively ponytails followed her brisk pace and jumped to the iron gate.

The young man and his teammates stood behind her, patiently watching as she conjured a set of tools that looked like a latch from the spatial ring that Yustina had given her, and happily turned her back to the crowd and began to hum a little tune about her work.

Due to the characteristics of the race, the keyhole of the iron door of the upside-down tower matched her height, and the little girl did not even bend down, but carefully used the lock-picking tool in her hand to tinker with the door lock blocking the front of everyone.

Until almost a minute later......

"Smack-"

There was a crisp sound from the keyhole of the iron door.

"Done?" Urs asked her subconsciously.

"Uh, it's not ......" Bellingis's body froze, her light brown eyes blinking behind the backs of everyone present, and her smirking face turned her head embarrassedly, "That, my pry hook... It looks like it's broken inside, hehe......"

"Huh? Broken inside?! Koto pulled his head out of the team and stared at her stunned, "I said little girl, didn't you just say that you are very professional?" ”

"This ...... Huh, accident, accident! The future Grand Magister's young lady was embarrassed at this moment, the index fingers of both hands pretended to be stupid, and the big eyes of the water were unconsciously dodged to the side, "Just like my father Melhos is the best at illusion tricks, but there are always a few times when Uncle Grolaydon will directly see through his tricks." ”

"Oh, Gloridon still has that ability?" The dwarf blinked, listening attentively.

"Yes, yes, for example, Daddy's wall illusion is not easy to fool Uncle Grolaydon's eyes when he wants to play a good-natured prank." The little girl nodded hurriedly, and told His Royal Highness the Prince of the Hearthfire Clan about the past between her father and the old thief, "Because Uncle Gloleiden taught me that when I encounter something uncertain, I can often tell if it is an illusion by throwing a small pebble over." ”

"Well, that makes sense...... Cotto thought for a moment that seemed to be the case, but immediately reacted, "but what does that have to do with you breaking the pry hook in the lock?" ”

"It proves that there are times when you are familiar with it!" Bellinglith thrust in and explained, "And the structure of this lock seems to be more complicated than I expected! ”

"So...... So you can't handle it, can you? The dwarf thought carefully for two seconds, then looked at her seriously to come to this conclusion.

"Mistake! And the unexpected! The little girl pursed her little mouth and emphasized again, and shook her arms at the dwarf who seemed to see through the facts, "How can you call it a familiar thing?" I'm a-huh! Don't laugh, Sister Raven! Don't laugh! ”

She heard the hoarse laughter of Miss Poet as if she couldn't help but "poof" from under the black hood, and her freckled face finally began to turn a little anxiously red.

Jay was indeed amused by the little dwarf's lock-picking performance.

Fortunately, Thea's attitude was much gentler than that of Miss Poet, and the silver wolf-eared girl saw that she had made such a mess, and after thinking about it, she comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Bellinglis, we can think of another way." ”

After speaking, the girl turned half of her fair cheeks and looked at the young man standing beside her with a consultative gaze.

Urs could read Thea's eyes, and then sighed helplessly, saying that it would be forgotten.

He actually knew that the iron fence gate of the Inverted Hanging Tower required a lot of lockpicking skills for thieves, and the original intention of arranging Bellinglis to try it was just because there was a thief in his team anyway, and he wouldn't be short of a piece of meat if he tried his luck, right?

It's a pity that now it seems that the little girl is not an old thief. Although Gloriden is also a part-time thief, the old guy's comprehensive ability is definitely biased towards thief skills, and the strength enhancement brought to him by the warrior class is only slightly reflected in his proficiency and accuracy in operating the sour tooth crossbow shooting.

In Urs's eyes, Baillingis's situation was somewhat different from Glorydon's original description. Gloradon told him at the time that Bellelis's comprehensive abilities were also more inclined to thieves, but in fact, the old thief hadn't seen the little girl for a long time when he said that, so the future Archmage Lady might have focused on practicing her spell-casting skills during the few years that she lived alone in Casey Harbor?

"If it does, her dual career level should be more balanced." Young people think about it and think that the real situation may be like this.

But...... It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not impossible to balance the dual class level of the thief part-timer, and different character cards BUI1D have different ways to play.

But this door is indeed as Thea said, and it seems that it has to find another way.

With this in mind, Urs turned around, his brown eyes sweeping towards the few people in the group who were still silent, Stonefist, Dorothy, and Abel...... Well, and Thoros, the pitch-black tomcat, cowered in the mechanical mage's steel head, meeting his gaze through the vertical bar-shaped slit of the helmet's blindfold.

"...... Abel" he spoke to the Mechanic Mage, just about to ask if he had recorded a percussion spell in his 2-ring spell slot.

"Wait, wait! Give me another chance! Bellinglith rolled her eyes, and an invisible light bulb suddenly lit up above the gold above her head, and hurriedly shouted again, "I want to prove that the future Miss Archmage will never be stumped by a lock!" ”

"But little girl, you've broken the pry hook in the keyhole......" Koto looked at her, trying to remind her of the crucial difficulty.

"Hey, it's okay!" The little dwarf girl didn't care about the dwarf's concerns, and immediately activated her spatial ring again, this time pulling out a short thin stick with a thread hanging out.

She took a deep breath and waved everyone to stand far away, so as not to affect her swing this time. Everyone had no choice but to do what she said, and after a distance of almost six or seven meters, they all paid attention to her back standing in front of the tower door, and patiently waited for her to tinker for a while......

Later, I saw the little dwarf girl withdraw her hand suddenly, turn around, and complete a set of movements as if she had rehearsed countless times in advance, and the whole person ran back to everyone like a frightened rabbit.

"What's wrong, little girl?!" Koto was nervous by her actions, and the fortress shield on his left arm subconsciously blocked her side, "Could it be that there is a monster behind the door?!" ”

"It's not." Belling Lisi squatted with her head in her hands, and the wrists and forearms of her hands pressed down on her ears, "It's going to explode." ”

"Going to blow up?" Everyone was stunned.

What do you mean?

"Bang ——!!"

In the next second, the iron fence gate of the upside-down tower answered everyone, and the complex door lock, which had stumped many rogue players in the memory of Urs's previous life, suddenly burst into a deafening roar, sounding as if a bundle of powerful explosives was thrown into a pot, and then closed and detonated!

The eyelet of the lock suddenly burst into several tiny parts like an electric shock, followed by a "snap", and the iron door of the tower opened a small crack in the smoke of gunpowder.

Fortunately, the sound of the explosion was loud and the momentum was small. The adventurers of the Thorn Squad were all startled except for the little dwarf girl who had covered her ears and squatted in advance, and the crow, who always kept calm, seemed to purse her lips and be stunned for a moment.

Thea's hearing suffered from the loss of four channels. The wolf-eared girl subconsciously wanted to cover her ears, but after pressing the human ears on both sides of the silver, she missed the two fluffy white beast ears on the top of her head, but fortunately, the sound was generally suffocated into a muffled sound in the keyhole, and then she remembered to look at the dwarf girl who had stood up proudly and asked softly: "Bellingerys, are you ...... What did you just do? ”

When the wolf-eared girl asked, Berelith didn't answer yet, but Urs reacted immediately, and cursed in his heart......

Universal lock picker!

The essence of that thing is a small strip of strong alchemy explosives with a pull fuse, usually wrapped in a small wooden stick, so that the user can stuff it into the hole of any lock, pull the fuse and detonate it, and then use the magically specially treated alchemy explosive to directly deal massive blast damage to the lock itself.

"Dwarf technology, shocking!" Bellinglith closed half of her eyes, then smiled, her thumbs up.

Well, it's really shocking...... But little girl, you actually call it violent unlocking, don't think I don't know it's an unstable black technology. The young man looked at the Miss Magic Technician who seemed to be swollen again, and felt that he had been defeated by it, and said in his heart, okay, okay.

Anyway, the door is open.

After that, the team went to open the iron fence door, which had lost its obstruction effect, and looked at the lock that had been blown up by Belinlith, and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for an unknown craftsman who designed it, and finally stepped into the interior of the tower one after another, and began to descend a spiral stone brick staircase......

As for the downward process, it took a lot of time, after all, the staircase of the Inverted Hanging Tower, ignoring the shape of the spiral staircase, is almost a completely straight downward passage, and the only thing to be thankful for is probably that everyone will not have to worry about the light when they line up in a long serpentine line to go deeper, so they don't have to worry about the farce of the Spotted Axe Forest that has been far away from being staged in this place again.

What was the scene at the time...... Suddenly in retrospect, it seems that a long time has passed.

In terms of visibility, Stonefist, Raven, Koto, Abel, and even the black cat pet named Soros all have natural dark vision, and Urs's Cloak of Shadow Scales and the Ring of the Lurker, which had been given to Thea before entering the tower, made up for the shortcomings of young and young girls in their visual abilities with the help of equipment attributes.

Speaking of making up for visual defects with the help of item effects, one of the most interesting is Bellingis - this dwarf girl's black technology props seem to be endless, after showing the violent aesthetics of the universal lockpicking stick for her companions, she put a pair of punk-style leather-rimmed glasses on her face at this moment, saying that the lenses specially designed by the dwarf mage craftsman can fundamentally correct the wearer's visual effect with the power of magic, so that the dim vision of the dwarf also becomes dark vision when wearing this pair of glasses.

Of course, the lenses of that pair of glasses are designed for the eyes of the gnomes, so they only work on the gnomes - this is how the little girl explains.

Dorothy was a little "aggrieved", and Able cast a 2-ring transformation spell with the same name as Dark Vision for her. Miss Warlock's spells through her bloodline qualifications are almost exclusively Shaping spells, known for their offensive and destructive power, and she is a mobile turret with plenty of firepower, but not suitable for improvisation.

Ensuring that all members of the team had the ability to see in the dark, the adventurers of the Thorn Squad kept a low profile and walked down the spiraling staircase without lighting up the light source under Urs's deliberate arrangement.

Go down......

I don't know how long the time passed in the footsteps of everyone, and when the staircase under the feet was finally completed, another iron fence door appeared at the bottom of the upside-down tower, or the top attic of the structure, as an exit to the tower.

When Koto saw the door, he shrugged his arm with his right hand carrying the hammer, and exhaled with emotion: "The fire is on the fire, are we finally here?" It seems that the depth of the dark area from the surface is not as exaggerated as the rumors have described. ”

"But this isn't a dark place yet." The raven's gaze was cast out from under the hood of the black robe towards the distance outside the iron fence gate, paying attention to the general style of the new scene, and then telling the dwarf in a cold voice, "This is the hive labyrinth. ”

"Hive maze?" The dwarves were surprised.

"An intermediate world between the surface world and the underworld, known as a beehive due to the labyrinthine space formed by the intricate tunnel paths." Able calmly controlled his pace and walked down the last staircase, his mechanical guttural voice giving a small introduction to the prince of the clan who was bewildered by this.

At this moment, a small head suddenly poked out from the corner of the iron fence outside the iron fence at the exit of the tower, and a nervous question came from the mouth of the head—

"You, you are...... Surface people?! ”
