At the bottom of the tunnel, an underground river runs through the bottom of the rocky mountain and follows the edge of the mine into the deep darkness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not many people knew about this, and in order to avoid unknown dangers, the nobles who first mined this mine sent professional personnel to seal off this section of the tunnel. After that, the bandit leader, who was looking for a water source, accidentally discovered the place.

Two structures of metal frames, round pipes, flange discs, and opening and closing valves stand in the midst of a rushing river, like the armor of a giant.

"Ahh These industrial-age mechanical devices were completely different from the usual alchemy products of this world, and Radia was unable to explain what she saw with her own knowledge.

Mr. Glo's Alchemical Mysteries!

Radia stared, her azure eyes shining with excitement.

"What is this?"

Veteran Scott was also stunned when he saw this.

"Water hammer pump."

Since the water system was completed more than two years ago, Oliver has only been here the last time the parts were replaced. But he remembered the name of the thing that Glo had called, and from that moment on, he almost bowed down to the bandit leader—he couldn't imagine what Glo had in his head, the rough and magical device that could send water up without any external power. At the Ampton Mines, he saw Glo hammering and cutting iron ingots all day, and he didn't know why, but when he saw this, he finally understood a little.

There was a considerable drop from the surface of the underground river to the puddle in the tunnel above the side, and the two things worked day after day, never stopping, carrying the water through the pipe to the sump basin - he stood on the edge of the river, and in the dimly lit silence there was a slight whimper that rose and fell in an orderly manner, and the air in the pipe was compressed by the flow of water over and over again.

Miss Radia took a step forward, she recovered from her surprise and nodded in praise, "Amazing masterpiece! ”

It seems that the robber is really not simple. Perhaps, this is a not-so-well-known branch of engineering alchemy. Radia looked at it as she used mana detection, and from the surface and inside of the inconspicuous shell of the pile of equipment, she didn't notice the slightest magic fluctuation, and the detection spell was cast without receiving any mana induction.

In other words, there's no magic hub here to provide power.

Miss Mage suddenly felt the urge to take the two "water hammer pumps" apart and take a look.

……

Afron, Clover Manor.

Another night, after a sumptuous dinner brought by the servants, the three young noble knights who had stayed overnight gathered around the table and began to discuss the matters of the mission—mainly the preparation of materials in advance, the division of labor in the course of the mission, and the principle of the ownership of the spoils.

As for who will take part in the mission? Although the knight lady Alyssa is a woman, she has a fierce personality like a man in her bones, and after accepting the advice of the swordsman, she immediately sets out to visit the Church of the Holy Radiance, and successfully invites a lady who is an inaugural priest. Bishop Vera smiled and agreed to her request. However, correspondingly, because the number of clergy participating in this mission has been expanded to two, the merit points obtained for completing the mission will also be divided equally.

Alyssa did not express any objection to this.

The priest she invited was a thin, fair-skinned young woman who wore most of the hallmarks of the Epham bloodline, but her bright, vibrant eyes were a rare light amber color, which she described as being influenced by her mother's blood.

Her name was Winnie, Winnie Calami, and judging by her name, she must have been born into a lesser-known minor nobleman - in the aristocratic tradition, in addition to marriage as a way out, a concubine was also a good choice to join the church.

She also came to the manor, and sat in the corner of the long table in the room. But she didn't speak much, and her voice was soft and gentle. It was only when Alyssa talked about the division of tasks that she asked a few simple questions about duties.

Soon, the list of participants in the mission was finalized: in addition to the four people present, there was Miss Lena Barros, who was good at fire psionic powers, and the somewhat annoying Swordsman. There are six people in total, which basically meets the principle of a few but elite.

The team set out early the next morning to the hilly terrain outside the city.

The fog melted in the sun, and the team rode their horses all the way, moving at a fast pace. When the Crypt Mine came into view, Glo rolled over and jumped off the little black pony - he had commissioned a servant to go to the Mermaid Reef to bring back his mount during his days at Clover Manor. In that place, due to the careful care of the maid Miss Lulu, in just half a month, the little black horse's body has gained a full circle, and he stroked the fleshy neck under the horse's mane, and felt particularly good.

The crypt was close at hand, and Glo's gaze fell silently on the entrance of the cave - the guards of the City Lord's Mansion in front of the gold mine cave learned of their arrival and waved hello to them.

With a nod of greetings, Glo walked in first. Miners wielding iron hammers and hoes were everywhere, and a huge question came to his mind - in the game, the Crypt Mines were secondary maps. It stands to reason that every once in a while, the monsters will refresh again, but now in such a scene, where are the shadows of those cave people.

Was it cleaned up by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion?

But Glo had just seen the appearance of the guards, and the weapons and armor were clean, not at all like they had been in battle. And the miners, with no look of horror or fear on their faces, were all numb - the poor peasants, who had thought of a windfall, had now suffered such a terrible tragedy.

Glo sighed to himself, deeply sympathetic but unable to do anything.

The group walked straight to the depths of the crypt - in the tunnel, the torches on the rock walls along the way pointed the way forward, and the six of them were employed professionals, and their steps were very fast, and in a short time, they had reached the end of the torch light, but as they continued to walk, they found that it was a blind road.

The whole team had to go back in a huff.

Glo was silent in the eyes of the crowd, he had noticed that the tunnels here were different from those in the Ampton mines, each one was twisted and turned, sometimes one tunnel inexplicably turned into a dead end, sometimes one tunnel turned into another, or simply went back to the original point, as complicated as a labyrinth. This confirmed Glo's previous suspicions more and more.

This place is probably more than just a mine, it should be a passage between the underworld and the surface. Well, if no one has explored it, that hidden copy is definitely 100% there.

He shouted back, and Winnie Calami, the inaugural priest of the Church of Radiance, pulled out a small short-handled staff from his bosom and prepared to cast the [Detect Necromancy] spell.
