"What is this? Headsets? ”

Inside the parcel sent by Colotia were two fantastical objects whose purpose would never have been discernible unless they were specifically explained—two small strips of paper connected by flexible pure gold threads with wonderful textures. One earpiece should be attached to the back of the ear, and one to the throat.

After the crossing, the "system" blocks the functions of the chat system such as secret words, public channels, and squad channels. And this little invention of Kolotia seems to be made to solve this problem.

Another big invention, is that guy a genius? Imberka and Vanessa looked at each other, then took out the paper from the box and placed it behind their ears and throat - the paper seemed to be some kind of flexible metal, a little cool at first, but soon it didn't feel anything.

"Hey? You're finally connected, can you hear me......"

The paper that was used as the "headphones" came the familiar voices of Imberka and Vanessa, and compared to the previous time I saw Kolotia, the girl's voice from the headphones seemed to be more energetic. Or rather, there was no nervousness at all.

"I can hear you. What's going on now? ”

"What can it be? It's probably those guys. You follow the army first, and a few other friends and I are already in front of you. Remember to keep in touch. ”

The sound coming from inside the headphones seemed to be deliberately muffled, but even so, the noise in the nearby hall didn't affect Imberka and Vanessa knowing exactly what Colotia was talking about—it was as if the sound had come from the periosteum not out of the air but from somewhere else. The fact that it is so easy to do is probably the effect of magic.

"Ah, by the way, a slight touch on the patch on the neck can disable the microphone, and a touch on the patch behind the ear can disable the headphones. It's best not to use these features just yet. ”

……

"Where are we now?" Vanessa asked in a low voice.

"Where? To be honest, I don't know where either. But why don't you look at the system map......" Kolotia's voice paused slightly, "Huh...... Sunny City Cathedral...... What the hell is this? ”

There is no help.

Imperka and Vanessa looked at each other. But it wasn't that disappointing, in fact, Vanessa didn't expect to get an answer when she asked this question. However, to Vanessa's surprise, Colotia's voice came out of the headphones soon after: "But this place is definitely more than just a physical plane, don't be surprised if anything appears after a while." Correspondingly, your attacks and spells can be inflicted with additional damage. I've tried, and although the health of those monsters seems to be high, it's actually not difficult to solve, and any hallucinogenic and stun control skills, or dispel, essence attack attributes can cause them quite strong extra damage. In other words, these things are temporary summons. Please share these things with the rest of the church. ”

Although they haven't seen any "monsters" yet, both Imberka and Vanessa have firmly remembered Colotia's words. It wasn't known what Colotia was doing, but it was clear that she had already been fought, and she was sure that Imberka and Vanessa would be fighting soon.

But in any case, hearing Kolotia's voice that was not too nervous, giving people a sense of "calm" and "confidence", the two of them were somewhat relieved.

"Is this a new copy? Is this going to raid? But we only have two high-level players, and all the high-level players in the others are priests and knights. How to play this kind of game! ”

"Quiet, quiet." Looking at the silver-haired Lori next to her who suddenly became excited without knowing what was going on, Vanessa barely managed to keep her sanity and pressed Imperca's little head.

After some exploration, the paladins finally found some clues about the mutation.

The Cathedral of Sun City has an underground facility deep underground that is far larger than the above-ground buildings. According to one priest, this seems to be a facility that has existed since the church was founded, because it is so old that no one knows its function, but it has been maintained in some basic accordance with the materials left from the past.

"This is it."

After opening the door to the basement floor, which is never open in the church, what appeared to everyone was an unusually empty circular room.

In the basement floor of the same size as the hall, there was nothing but a circle of stone pillars arranged in a circle, and nothing else. However, in this empty room, the floor, the pillars, and the walls are painted everywhere with intricate textures. Countless crystalline lights that seem to have a spirit shimmer and flow on these textures, dazzling. This kind of scene is very strange even in the "wizarding world", and it is almost like "alien technology" in front of everyone.

And in the center of this hall, there is one of the brightest light sources. A warm and bright white light floated silently in the air about a meter and a half, illuminating the entire room.

"That's not usually the case here, I used to use magic lighting by myself when I came here. This facility...... It's as if someone has completely activated it. The priest who led the way in front also looked surprised: "In the center of this room, there is actually a floating ladder, as soon as someone stands up and injects a little magic into it, it will start to land." ”

"In other words, do we have to do this too? Underground? How deep is this hole? ”

"I haven't measured it, but it has to be five or a few dozen meters. I've gone down there to maintain the facilities before. ”

"Oh my God, what the hell are you pastors doing here?"

"This is an ancient ruin, a quest that has been passed down from generation to generation in the kingdom. It is the task of the pastors in this church. Don't forget, it was our pastor who was the first to build this church and was active in this church. The priest leading the way in front frowned, staring at the paladin who had just asked the question. An unyielding gaze was cast from behind the square-rimmed glasses.

"Okay, you can argue whenever you want, but not now!" The general of the paladins stepped forward, "Now it's time to decide who stays and who goes down this pontoon." Does someone stand up on their own, to explore or to stay? ”
