70- Phantom of the wooden door
"Sir, hey~ wake up." Ollie's voice rang out in his ears, and Wiel came to his senses.
"Hmm~ What just happened?"
"Whew~ Chief defeated the Shadow Monster!" Ollie said excitedly to Vere.
"That's right! Shadow Monsters! Will looked around vigilantly, only to find that the stone door had been opened, "The stone door is open?" ”
"Yes, sir, it's all right. After you killed it, the fire came back to light, and the gate opened. ”
"I fainted...... How did I defeat that monster. "The last memory of Ver is to see the monster suddenly appear next to Ollie, and then he is in a hurry, and he can't remember what happened after that.
"Wow~ Sir was so handsome just now!" Ollie stood aside, his eyes shining with little stars, and he clenched his little fist excitedly, gesturing to Veil with a spear. "It's like this~ Wow! The shadow stretched out a lot of sharp claws. At the time, Ollie was worried. Ollie held his hands forward, "And the chief dodged them all and crushed the monster!" ”
"Uh~huh?" Will really doesn't remember anything, "Ollie, how long have I been faint?" ”
"Huh? ~This is just happening! Ollie was still there, excitedly describing the battle that had just taken place with Will.
Ver stretched out his right hand in front of him, looked at the lines on it, and groaned for a moment, and suddenly found that in the vision of the system, there were two nightmare fuels.
"It looks like there's really nothing going on." "yes, yes, sir, destroyed that monster!"
He put his hands behind him and stood up from the ground. There was only a tiny wound on his face, which Weir touched and a little bright red on his fingers.
There is nothing wrong with the body, just a kind of fatigue after exercise.
"Alright, Ollie, now that the door is open, let's go in and have a look...... No, take the torch. ”
"Yes! Sir! Ollie excitedly turned on the torch, and then walked towards the stone gate.
Then he stopped in front of the stone gate and looked back at Weier, "Oh ~ sir, Ao, Ollie is a little afraid of the dark ......"
"Ha~" Wille chuckled and walked in front of Ollie.
The sound of knocking came from inside the door, and as the two of them walked inside, it became clearer and clearer.
"It's really a building~" Weir held a torch and shone it around.
From the inside of the stone gate, it is a dilapidated stone house that seems to have been built underground, two stories high, and the roof has disappeared, leaving only the stones and soil on the roof of the cave.
There are still some traces of wall hanging on both sides, but even the rest of them are rusted.
"Whew~Ollie can still see the veins~" In the cracks in the wall, Ollie took a closer look, and some spiders and earthworms crawled through the cracks.
Underneath them, there are spots of gold.
"Where?" Wiel leaned in.
"Wow~ It seems to be still inside."
Wiel and Ollie followed the trail and walked slowly inside.
Then, they came to a forked place.
On one side is a hole in the earth that forks downward, and the veins of the gold mine go downward.
In the other direction is the continuation of the stone houses, as if they have been broken apart, and they are at an angle to the direction in which they entered.
Knock knock~
The voice came from the side of the stone house.
The two men looked at each other.
Wiel set up a bonfire at this corner.
The firelight illuminated the sides. "Hey~ Sir, there's not much in the backpack, we have to save some money."
After handing Vere some spare stones, Ollie reminded him.
"It's okay, our safety is the most important thing, it's really not enough, it's a big deal to go back and get some more." Weir said nonchalantly.
"Wow~ Okay, but it's better to save some. Just in case. ”
The surroundings lit up.
"Which way to go first? Whew~"
"Make a noise there, there must be something there."
Having made up their minds, the two of them did not go in the direction of the vein for the time being, but walked towards the place where there was a thumping sound.
The sound got closer and closer, and the two of them gradually came to the end of the stone house.
The sound was made by a wooden door in the stone room.
The wooden door is not new, but compared to the surrounding dilapidated and rusty metal, the wooden door that still makes a thick thump sound is very inconsistent.
The knock on the door shook slightly, as if someone had been knocking on the door from behind.
In front of the wooden door was a thick pile of dust, and as the wooden door shook, more dust fell from the top of the door.
The two stood in front of the wooden door, torches in their hands, looking in the direction of the shock.
Ollie swallowed, the light of the campfire behind him still faintly glowing.
"Wow~ What should I do now, sir."
Will took two steps forward to the front of the wooden door, and reached for it with his hand, "Hey! Is anyone in there? ”
The sound of knocking stopped, and then there was another knock on the wooden door.
Wiel glanced back at Ollie and nodded.
Weir also tapped his hand on the wooden door, "Hey! Feed! Is there anyone in there? ”
The sound of a thump was heard.
A slightly hoarse voice came from behind the door.
"Did you bring anything to eat?"
Well? Will was stunned for a moment, and the voice inside said again.
"Did you bring anything to eat?"
"Are you in there? Can you leave the door open? "There really are people! Ollie also hurried to the door, and said in surprise behind the wooden door.
"Did you bring anything to eat?" Again, the clear, slightly hoarse voice asked repeatedly.
"Who are you? Can you open the door? Why are you here? Weir asked vigorously. Ollie stomped his feet excitedly.
The sound behind the door fell silent, and then there was another thump at the wooden door. The two were stunned for a moment.
"What did he just say?"
"Did you bring something to eat? Whew~"
"What do you mean?"
"He seems to be asking if we brought anything to eat?"
Wiel knocked on the door again, "Hey! Are you in the back? ”
"Did you bring anything to eat?" The voice asked again.
"Eh~ I brought it."
As he spoke, Ver took out a dragon fruit pie and reached it to the side of the wooden door.
"Eat! Great, someone finally brought me something to eat. The voice was no longer hoarse, but clear again.
Before Weier came back to his senses, the wooden door in front of him obviously did not move, but the hand stretched out to the wooden door suddenly lightened, and he found that the dragon fruit pie in his hand had disappeared suddenly.
Then, the sound of chewing came from behind the wooden door.
"Whew! ~ Great, finally, I can have food again. The clear voice gradually became smaller.
"What's your name?"
"I am Wiel, who are you? Can you leave the door open? Weir asked anxiously, thinking that the man behind the door was leaving.
"Wiel...... It's nice to have something to eat. The clear voice behind the door was gone.
"Hey! Feed! You replied! Hey, he knocked on the wooden door again.
"Whew~ He seems to be gone."
"Really, slam the door open!" Weir was also anxious, but even if he met someone, how could he let him go away like this?
He took out a stone hammer and held it in his hand and smashed it in the direction of the wooden door.
But Ver struck the stone at once.
In front of Will's eyes, the wooden door slowly turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of Will's eyes, leaving only a rough stone wall embedded in a stone cave in front of the two of them.
The wooden door disappeared and the stone wall appeared, and the surroundings seemed to be very harmonious, which was the original appearance of this place.
"What was that?" Will was shocked.
"Oh~Ollie, I don't know~" Curiously touched the stone wall, and Ollie was also surprised.
The wooden door was like a phanteur, just emerging, and now disappearing into the stone wall.
"Was it a hallucination?"
But the dragon fruit pie that was taken out was indeed gone.
In hesitation, Ver picked up the hammer.
The original broken stone wall had a hole in the place where the stone hammer had hit.
A gust of wind and light came in.
"Wow~ There's still space behind this stone wall!"
Vere continued to strike a few more times, and the stone hammer in the game had its original effect. The entire stone wall shattered into stones.
The blocked light and sea breeze caught their eyes and ears from the sand behind the stone wall.
Behind the stone wall was a sandy beach, the same beach that Wille had seen in front of Mount Wolan!
"This ...... This. "Veil ran out, and there was no sign of anyone but the sand and the scattered trees!
"Huh~ Was it really an illusion just now?" Ollie followed, and looked back, unable to remember what had just happened.
Wiel stood there, frowning, looking at the sun in the sky and the seagulls hovering over the sea.
"Go back, Ollie, it's time for us to find the gold mines."
Giving up on finding the owner with the clear, hoarse voice, Wille turned around and walked back into the cave.
"Sir~That ...... just now"
"I don't know...... Don't think about it anymore, it's better to ask Boris about this kind of magic. Weir shook his head. But fortunately, it's not without gains, at the very least, we don't have to go to that dangerous place anymore. ”
"Huh~? Dangerous? Ollie didn't know why, but he followed Vere back to the cave.
"Now here, there is only this place left unvisited, and the hope gold mine is in here."
"Whew~ With such an obvious vein, there will definitely be gold."
The two of them stood in front of the earthen cave, the bonfire behind them lit brightly, and the rotten smell in the cave became a little fresher with the sea breeze.
"Let's go, let's go down."
The two men held torches and walked down the vein extension.
It took about a few minutes to walk.
Wiel, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Huh? What's wrong? Ollie followed a few steps to Will's side.
"Whew! So much gold! ”
In front of me was a small cavern, and in the firelight, it was full of golden minerals.
"yes, we found it!"
After that, after the two found that there was no danger in the cave, they began to dig with confidence.
But what the two of them did not notice was that in the place where they came, in the dirt passage that went down, in the soil where they had stepped on, there was a pile of fragments of decaying wooden doors scattered and scattered.
There are also some crumbs from dragon fruit pie......
