This time when he came to the pitch-black tunnel, Roque wanted to scavenge the attribute stones inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhether it's the amazing value of the attribute stone or the significance it means to the dresser, Roque doesn't plan to let go of this good opportunity. In Roque's words, this thing is a strategic reserve, no matter how much it is!

First, Roque came to the first quarry, took the probe and began to walk around, pausing at one point from time to time, then shaking his head to the next location.

"Hey, there's a drama here." Roque let out a cry of surprise and looked around vigilantly to see if there was anyone around, confirming that the safety consequences had indeed been dug up under the guidance of the detector and dug up an attribute stone that emitted cyan light.

Roque seemed to see a golden avenue right in front of him.

But he quickly shook his head, this kind of thing still can't be done more, if one accidentally is seen by others, it will be a big trouble, God knows what crazy things that the outlaws who regard money as their fate know that they have such a treasure. Roque couldn't help but tense at the thought of the scene where countless robbers were swarming towards him.

"Uncle Roque, why are you shaking? Is it cold here? Kurto felt very strange that Roque, who was a third-order fire magician, would actually feel cold?

"It's not because it's cold, but I think of something not very good......" Roque kept silent, clutching the detector in his pocket by the way, which was almost like a miser.

"Alright, let's hurry to the second quarry, where there are fewer people and it is easier to get rich...... Act. ”

……

After sneaking around the Second Quarry again, Roque finally set his sights on the Third Quarry. The harvest of the first two quarries alone has already filled the bags of Roque and the others with all kinds of attribute stones, which also makes Roque look forward to the third quarry with the highest production value.

Soon Roque led the two of them across the enclosed area, and when they walked to the broken lift, they encountered an unexpected person.

A man in a wide straw hat and dressed in scholar's attire.

When Roque saw him, he appeared to be repairing a broken lift, unaware of the crowd's arrival.

Roque looked at this familiar figure, and a name jumped out of his mind, the strongest summoner - Kuras!

Kuras is also a member of the fantasy legend, is Chris's best friend, and is also the first person to study summoning, and has the summoning power of summoning elemental elves, which has left a deep impression on Roque.

"Well, this friend, are you repairing this lift?"

"Ahh Kuras was startled by the sudden words, and sat down on the ground at once.

When he saw that it was Roque and his party, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Big brother, do you know that people are scared to death, I thought it was a zombie who ran out of the closed area, and almost didn't let me pee my pants......"

"Uh......" Roque was also very embarrassed, who called Culas This guy was not vigilant, and he didn't even notice that the three of them came over.

"Forget it, you're here just in time, help me test whether this elevator has been repaired." Kuras wiped the sweat from his forehead and said something that made Roque almost pee his pants.

Roque instantly recalled the pictures of the elevator crash in his previous life, and shook his head like a rattle: "No need, big brother, please be smart, I don't want to die young." ”

Kuras said strangely when he heard this: "What are you afraid of, I didn't let you in, I let you watch outside, I helped me see if the elevator could work properly after I went in, look at what scared you, is my Kulas's technique so bad?" ”

"Huh, you said it earlier, you can go with peace of mind if it's okay, I'll watch it for you." Roch breathed a sigh of relief, not that he didn't believe Kuras, but that the lift had been broken for years, and it was hard for Roque to imagine that Kuras had fixed it so easily.

"Okay, then I'll go in, you can help me see how the lift works." Quite bravely, Kuras stepped into the elevator and pressed the ascent button.

The three of Roque watched him slowly ascend with a martyr's gaze.

Unexpectedly, there was no accident until the elevator reached the top, but it was Kuras's voice coming from above: "Hey, can you hear me?" I'm at the entrance to the pitch black tunnel—"

Roque replied loudly, "I hear you—you can come down—"

"Then I'm down—"

So Kuras returned to Roque and the others unharmed.

"It seems that my hard work has not been in vain, now people don't have to risk their lives to break into the closed area when they go to the third quarry in the future, they can just make a lift." Coolas looked accomplished and happy.

But he was happy, and Roque was not.

Roque, who had long regarded the Third Quarry as his private property, thought that a large number of people would come to grab stones with him in the future, and his head would be as big as a basketball, but he couldn't say anything against it.

"By the way, I just found out that you are also from the closed area, it's not easy, get to know, my name is Kuras F. Resta, and I'm a summoner." Coolas seemed to finally realize something, and began to introduce himself.

"I'm Roque, and these two are Kurto and Milou, eh...... If I'm not mistaken, you're also a warrior summoned by the goddess from another world, right? ”

"Huh? Could it be that you are ......" Kuras was taken aback and looked at the three of them seriously.

"That's right, we're the goddess's dressers."

"I really didn't expect it! Is it true that people are not allowed to look good...... I have to add another ...... to my reflection textbook," Kuras began to mutter something inexplicable, and Roque's brow jumped as he listened.

"So Big Brother Coolas knows Big Brother Chris, right?" Suddenly, Kurtau came up with such a sentence.

"Huh? Chris? That emotional idiot? Kuras looked up and mercilessly blew out Chris's dark history.

"Love...... Emotional idiot? The corners of Milu's mouth twitched.

"Yes, you said that the little girl Minter has expressed it so clearly, and he, a guy with zero emotional intelligence, is still indifferent, what is it if he is not an emotional idiot? Wood is more saved than he is. Kuras began to reveal Chris's old story to the crowd, and Roque was dumbfounded by the fact that he gave a novel about the feelings of a brother and sister as a gift to Minter, and called Chris hopeless.

"So you're here in the dark tunnel......" Kuras ramped a lot of nonsense and finally remembered to get down to business.

"Oh, we're here to investigate if there is any anomaly in the elemental concentration of the pitch black tunnel, and I want to use this to deduce the cause of the World Tree's anomaly." Roque pulled out the Elemental Detector and handed it to Kuras.

"I see...... Nice props...... Well, what is this big yellow circle? How did it flicker? Kuras asked as he tinkered with the probe for a while.

"What yellow circles? Let me see...... I rub! Roque was stunned to look at the huge yellow circle that occupied most of the screen, and read out the data tremblingly: "Ground...... The concentration of earth elements is 99.9%! Elemental Strength: Extremely high! Extremely dangerous! ”

Everyone gathered around to watch the Elemental Probe, and there was a deathly silence for a while.

"This ...... Is this an anomaly? For a long time, Miru asked weakly.

“…… If this is not an anomaly, the world tree will not be anomalous. With such a high concentration and intensity, unless it is a pure earth king-level monster that surpasses the ninth order, I can't think of anything that can emit such powerful magical energy. Roque said cautiously.

"Beyond the Ninth Order? Is there such a strong monster? Kurtau was skeptical.

"Wait a minute, according to my research, such a powerful earth-based magic energy is likely to be the Earth Heavenly King, one of the legendary Elemental Eight Heavenly Kings." Suddenly, Coolas uttered a term that surprised everyone.

"The Eight Heavenly Kings of the Elements?" Roque looked confused, saying that he had never heard of such a tall thing.

Seeing the puzzled faces of everyone, Kuras explained: "The Eight Heavenly Kings of the Elements refer to the eight administrators who were born together with the eight elements of the world, respectively controlling the power of earth, fire, water, scenery, and dark thunder elements, and their duty is to maintain the elemental balance of Anais, so that the World Tree can normally distribute magic energy to all parts of the continent. ”

"So they're some kind of creature? Or a monster? ”

"No, you can't say that...... It's not so much a creature as a demigod. They represent the eight elements themselves, so they have divinity beyond all human beings and monsters, and after such a long time, their wisdom is probably terrifying beyond the reach of humans. Culas pondered, and uttered these words.

"You mean, if there's an anomaly in the World Tree, it means ......" Roque frowned, realizing that things weren't easy.

"Yes, I'm afraid that the Elemental Eight Heavenly Kings themselves have also had problems." Culas agrees with Roque's speculation.

"That's a lot of trouble......" Roque had never felt so tricky as he was now, and it seemed that the plot was developing far beyond his expectations.

"By the way, the direction shown by this yellow circle seems to be the deepest part of the enclosed area, a place where no one has ever entered." Kuras said, pointing to the yellow circle on the screen.

"That place is ......" Roque's pupils narrowed as he looked at the location on the map, and it was the dwarven ruins that Kurto had been obsessed with!
