"We cast the Mage's Eye before, but if we go a certain distance deep into the cavern, we lose contact."

Dienag, a special magician from Hohenhagrid, used earth elemental magic to create something similar to the Black Class, and while drawing his intentions on it through magic, he explained it to the members of the exploration team, which totaled fifty-two people.

"Therefore, we can deduce that there may be an area below this cave where the magic elements are extremely sparse, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is a strange terrain like the dry rift, which will naturally drain the magic power. In other words, there is also a danger of trying to enter this pit through magic such as flying. ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of hemp rope from his assistant and straightened it to show the others.

Just when Sivi thought it was a new magic guide developed by the Seven Yao Mage Guild, Dinag continued, "So we're going to tie our waists with ropes and hang them down slowly. ”

Peat, it turns out to be just a real rope, hey!

As a model for all magical powers, aren't you really ashamed to make such a thing!

Judging by the indescribable expressions on the faces of the other magicians, they must all be thinking about the same as Sivi now.

In short, in the absence of any other way, the other magicians had no choice but to do as he said, with a rope around their waists, leaning against the rock wall like a mountaineer, and slowly lowering it.

The first test was ...... Ahem, I mean the brave man who explores the uncharted is from Hohenhagrid, Clarke, the apprentice of the High Wizard Dienag. A veteran beginner magician.

The young man, who was the age of two Tio, looked at his mentor pitifully with tears in his eyes, as if he was pouring out his desire not to be the first to be the leader.

So his teacher kicked him down very kindly.

As the novice mage's screams grew smaller and smaller, the rope left on the ground grew shorter and shorter.

"Master Dinag, it's over 1,800 meters."

The magician who was in charge of the operation next to him said to Dinag, who was standing on the edge of the pit and looking down, "The rope-making technique can't keep up with the speed of the rope shortening. ”

"Is it underestimated?" Dienag smacked his lips.

At present, the deepest mine cave dug by hand in the Eastern Plains is 2,000 meters long - after all, with such a convenient thing as earth element magic, the mine is much easier to make than the earth.

The deepest natural cave in the eastern plains is only about 1,700 meters, and it is rumored that there are gray dwarves and magical creatures living in Karamia, but there are only sightings and no definite evidence.

Because of this, Dienag only carried 1,500 meters of hemp rope and a pile of raw materials. In his mind, even if the rope is not enough. It can also be supplemented by rope making.

But the depth of the cave in front of him was far beyond his imagination.

"What about Clark's reaction?" Dienag asked again.

"The mana feedback is good, and there is no other change in physical condition except for some fright."

The magician, who had sensed through the rope, replied immediately.

After a few more moments, the shortening of the rope suddenly stopped.

Dienag's spirit shook: "Did Clark reach the ground?" ”

"Not yet, but Master Clark is on the rock wall. It seems that he refuses to continue to give in. There was some helplessness in the magician's voice: "In addition, the depth is now more than four thousand meters. We have run out of materials. If you continue to probe, you can only attach other ropes to this rope first. ”

Dinag was visibly unhappy with his student's fear of death, and cursed softly.

At this time, Xiwei, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped out of the ranks: "I'm sorry. Actually, I'm interested in exploring caves. ”

Ignoring Vincent's reluctance, he smiled and said to Dinag, "Why don't you let me explore this cave instead?" ”

"Oh? You're ...... of Edric."

Dienag looked at Syvi's standard magic robe, and couldn't call his name for a while.

"Edward. Alphonse. ”

Sivi immediately asked.

"Edward, what a good name, I know that there are several high-level magicians named Edward...... There is a lot to learn about alchemy. ”

Dinag first casually praised Sivi's pseudonym, and then said, "But exploring the cave is a dangerous thing to do, at least we can't be sure what will happen next - let's be honest, although that disciple of mine is timid and afraid of death, and always sticks to the rules and doesn't know how to do it, his foundation is one of the best among all beginner mages, and as my student, he still has some means to save his life." The reason why I sent him to explore this time was just to give him exercise...... And you, Edward, your dean are not here. Although Mr. Vincent also has mid-level strength, with all due respect, I'm afraid he is not strong enough to protect you in emergencies. ”

After a long and rambling sentence, Dinag stared into Sivi's eyes, "Even so, Edward, do you want to take the place of my apprentice and explore this cave where everything is unknown?" ”

"Yes."

Sivi nodded: "My dean once said that the biggest reason why human beings can surpass other races is that we have never given up the unknown, the world, the exploration of mysteries, and the pursuit of truth. As a magician, I feel that it is an honor to be able to explore this unknown world with my own hands. ”

"Oh, that's a ...... You're saying fantastic, forgive me for being a little excited......" The slightly older Dinag wiped the corners of his eyes, then twisted his nose again: "It's rare to see a young man like you in this era. After graduating from Edric, would you be interested in working at Hohenhager? ”

"I'm sorry, Dinag first, I'm only in the first grade, and I don't have a specific plan for what to expect after graduation."

Sivi graciously declined the other party's invitation.

Then Dinag let out a pity as he cast an activation rope on the hemp rope and pulled up the apprentice who was still hanging from the other end.

Regardless of how the coward hugged his teacher when he came up, and wiped all the snot and tears on Dienag's black robe, Sivi deftly tied the rope around his waist, stood on the edge of the hole, gestured to Vincent and bowed to the old mage of Dinag, and jumped down the sinkhole.
