"Lord of the city, although you are a little arrogant, your subordinates still think that you should not come out!"

Outside the city of Lovenia, the handsome face of the witch knight Linya was full of anxiety, and in front of her was a curly-haired girl wearing a goose-yellow dress and holding a parasol.

"It's so dangerous!" Linya waved her armoured hand, trying to show the girl in front of her how dangerous what she was doing.

But she clearly failed.

"Iwasai Behemoth is a big deal, and there is no way to make the right decision without conducting a field trip." Although the content of the curly-haired girl's words sounded extremely serious, the soft and kind voice gave people a leisurely feeling like they were talking about what to eat for dinner compared to official business: "After all, my words are related to the safety of the entire 500,000 residents of Lovenia." ”

After saying that, the lord of the city of Lovenia showed a bright smile towards his witch knight: "And even if there is really any danger, Linya, you will protect me, right?" ”

“……”

The witch knight looked at the lovely person in front of her, and sighed helplessly, but then a smile appeared on her face with an unquestionable sense of firmness: "Yes, even if you fight for your own life, your subordinates will definitely protect you." ”

"That'll do." The city lord girl named Xilian nodded with satisfaction: "I believe in you. ”

The purpose of their trip was naturally the strange sinkhole that appeared outside the city not long ago.

How deep that sinkhole is, there is still no answer. But. Judging from the fact that the Iwasheng Behemoth had been knocked down and had not been able to climb up until now, I am afraid that the depth of the pit was even more astonishing than had been predicted at the beginning.

"It's pitch black, you can't see anything......"

Standing at the edge of the sinkhole, cautiously looking down at the sinkhole, Xilian quickly withdrew his gaze: "And I'm a little more interested in the reason for the formation of this pit than the depth. ”

"I'm so sorry." The earth elemental mage of Lovenia near the sinkhole lowered his head in shame: "Until now, we haven't found out the cause of its formation, but judging from the soil around the crater, the soil around here is not very loose. Theoretically, there is no natural collapse and collapse. ”

"But it just happened." The girl of the castle lord is on a parasol. The free hand gently tapped his forehead with a folding fan: "In other words, this situation is not a natural phenomenon?" ”

"We think it's due to a magical or spell-like ability."

The earth elemental mage expounded his opinion rather reservedly, and he knew very well that although the young girl city lord in front of him seemed very kind, her methods were extremely powerful.

Know the way. Not long after inheriting his father's title. Xilian relied on the strength of the witch knight Linya. She vigorously eradicated the powerful and sideline heirs of several chambers of commerce entrenched in Lovenia, and the case involving hundreds of people was sentenced without blinking an eye, and the last facts proved that her decision was correct - she found evidence that they wanted to murder her in order to control Lovenia at the meeting place where the chambers of commerce and the collateral heirs met.

This young girl city lord in his twenties is like the most calm and cold-blooded hunter. Treating prey is always a one-hit kill, and will not give the other party even the slightest chance to retaliate.

It is precisely because of this that even the arrogant magician can't help but bow his head when facing her.

"Isn't it a miracle that someone can do such a thing?"

The girl of the city lord asked thoughtfully, covering half of her face with a fan.

"No, you're underestimating miracles...... To achieve this level, it is enough to require only the four-ring earth elemental magic, or the three-ring magic that prepares the ritual through a series of spell casting. ”

The enshrined mage corrected, "And if you have a spell-like ability...... In fact, the Iwasheng Behemoth that Miss Linya repelled was capable of doing just that. ”

As the god of the wilderness and mountains revered by many inhuman tribes, Iwasheng Behemoth has a lot of spell-like abilities related to the earth element, and the mountain runes in his body can control the mountains to a limited extent!

So, if the other party is buried in the ground and wants to come out to breathe, it is fully capable of digging a passage to the surface from the crust that is not known how deep.

"The only problem with this inference is that, judging from the descriptions of Lord Linya and the soldiers, Iwasheng Behemoth is too small to match the size of the pit." After the city lord girl nodded in understanding, the enshrined mage continued, "But even so, this is the most likely inference at the moment. ”

"So, according to this inference," the city lord girl narrowed her eyes, stared at the magician in front of her, and continued to say softly while cold sweat broke out on the other party's forehead, "Do you think that guy will be bored enough to dig other tunnels underground and run to the surface?" ”

"It's hard to say, but with the little information we have about Iwayu Behemoth, there's no way to tell how this creature moves."

The earth elemental enshrinement mage had a bitter look on his face. Of course, he knew what Helian meant - if Iwashiro Behemoth was really full of eggs and had nothing to do, and dug a new tunnel, the city of Lovenia, which was not too far away, would most likely be tricked.

The thought of such a terrifying pit in front of him appearing in that beautiful city made everyone present shudder.

Even in the most sparsely populated part of the city, such a large pit is enough for many unprepared people to fall and die.

"I see, until that thing reappears, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the ground around here."

The city lord girl bowed slightly.

"It's an honor to serve you, Ms. Xilian."

Including the earth elemental mage, several magicians saluted the girl.

Later, accompanied by Linya, Helian began to return to the city of Lovenia.

"Linya, you get ready." On the way, Xilian whispered softly to her guardian, "The next period of time may be hard for you, and as soon as that guy appears, please lure him farther away." I am now writing to Her Majesty the Empress of Julianne for help. ”

"If you wish, your subordinates should be able to defeat the young Behemoth......"

Linya suggested.

"No, if you kill the 'god', you will be cursed by the mountains."

The castle lord girl shook her head and rejected her knight's proposal: "At least, this curse can't leave you alone with ......" (to be continued......
