Chapter 017: Into the Cave
Loft, lavish hall.
Outside the large hall there is a spiral staircase on the second floor, and the floor is red carpeted. Rows of mahogany tables are arranged in a row to form a square.
On the square chairs, there were five mages, dressed in tight robes, carrying bows or swords, and their expressions were relaxed. The expressions of the three old mages surrounding below were completely different, their eyes were evasive and full of frustration.
"Mine chief, you can get on. Make it all clear. ”
"Hey, I'll go up and tell you."
The old mage with a pale face and a red left eye stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "The five mages of the Black Shadow Killing Group are fine, thank you for coming to deal with those slimes this time." ”
Grant, Ivey and the other five closed their eyes and stretched out their fingers to tap on the wooden chair, rhythmically moving.
As the CEO of the mission, Ivey is invisibly the captain. After all, the others understood that the biggest contributor to the task was Ivey, and he was the one who made ordinary inquiries and decisions.
"Speak, and tell the main thing carefully. We need to destroy the slimes inside, and we need to know what is happening in general. You, as the mine manager, speak out about it. ”
"Yes, sir."
The old mage stood aside, and said with a pause in his voice: "That's the case, it was a month ago. There are dozens of knight miners working in Cave Five. I didn't expect many slimes to run out of the depths of the cave. They are much stronger than normal slimes. Two captains and twenty mages intent on killing them all. I didn't expect that there was still a Slime King in the slime, and he injured several mages in a few hits. As a result, the confrontation continued for more than half a month. ”
"We have no choice but to ask a few mages to help."
The two mages in the back were at this time. He urged loudly, with a look of hope in his eyes.
"What do you think. The four of you? Ivy glanced left and right, a clear look in his eyes. It's about letting other people say what they think.
"I think it's better to bring a group of people in to probe it now, and know that the strength of the slimes inside is better. Although the slime is not very strong, there is no mistake in being careful. ”
"Let's just go inside."
After a brief remark by the four mages, they decided to bring a group of people inside. Ivy sat there, turned his head sideways and said, "Mine Chief, how many of you have the number of captains and personnel left here, and how many people can have enough strength to enter the cave." ”
"There are a total of twenty-seven members left, and there are a total of eighteen mages who can enter it, and their strength is around the middle of the first order. The strongest of the strong are me and the captain. ”
The old mage said what he had prepared for a long time, and it sounded unusually smooth.
"Oh, then hurry up and get a group of people to go in with us. You need to brace yourself and try to clean up most of the slimes and some other miscellaneous things at once. After Ivey finished speaking, he stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go." ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Let's retreat!"
The remaining mages bowed and immediately retreated from the room, preparing to exit the attic to make other plans.
A few minutes later, only Grant was left in the room. Ivey and five others.
They sat there, looking up at the elaborate lights on the rooftop and the lavish furniture nearby, and muttered, "This place is really nice." It seems that this mine manager is quite rich. ”
"Be careful, the Black Shadow Killer Troupe strictly forbids others to swallow resources without permission. Everybody, you need to understand. Grant cautioned. He knew that a large reason why this group of mages had entered the Black Shadow Killing Group was the abundant resources there.
"Alright. Let's go. Later, everyone will try to get rid of King Slime, so that as long as the race group gets rid of the queen, they will run around in fear. It's easy for us to kill. ”
"Okay. Let's go. ”
After a few people sat for a while, they waited until someone informed that the team had assembled. Just wait for them to assemble.
…………
The No. 5 entrance of the Beishan Mine Cave. On the surface of the majestic and grayish mountain wall, there is a hole that leads to the depths. The original lighting crystal in the cave was damaged by the slime, and it turned black. There were also several nervous-looking mages with staffs in hand, trying to block the slimes at the entrance to the cave and prevent them from coming out.
"Are these people?" Ivy stood in the distance, scanning around. Eighteen black-robed mages were found standing in front of them, their eyes were tired and their faces were pale, obviously because of the battle for a while. At the front are the mine manager and two captains, who, as the leaders here, are naturally responsible for most of the work.
"Yes, sir." The old mage looked respectful.
Grant stood aside and noticed their skin, and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Their skin is green, it should be attacked by slime's venom, but they are mid-order mages, with slime's attack can make venom last so long and severe, it looks troublesome." I'm going to leave it untouched, and I'll find a way to see what's going on inside before making a decision. ”
Thinking of this, Grant took two steps and said to Ivey, "Ivey, then let's get ready to go now." ”
"That's natural, there are eighteen people in all, and each of you will find four people to be your subordinates to command first. I'm in the middle and I'm in charge of moving attacks, after all, I'm good at long-range attacks. ”
"No problem, then get ready to get inside."
After a few minutes, the team was carefully divided and planned to enter the hole. Their actions attracted the attention of many knights in the vicinity, who suffered a lot at the entrance of the cave, and now they could not help but feel curiosity and anticipation when they saw a mage enter the cave.
"The mages of the Black Shadow Killer have finally entered the room. I don't know if they'll be able to solve the problem. If it is solved, I believe it will be a good thing for us. ”
"That's nature, let's wait for it now."
They whispered, but Ivy entered the cave, and the light was dim nearby, and strange winds blew through the cave over and over again.
"Illumination!"
"Illumination!"
"Illumination!"
The twenty-three mages immediately chanted all the spells and cast light spells to illuminate the nearby environment, ensuring that they would not be seriously injured by the slime's sneak attack.
Illumination is an advanced spell of Illumination, which is more stable and long-lasting than Illumination.
The smooth surface of the stone wall was made by the knights like a flat plate with no cut marks. The same goes for the ground, which makes it easy for Grant and the others to walk when they enter it. It didn't take long to reach the fork, and four openings appeared leading to the corners of the four directions.
"How to get there?" Ivey turned his head to the two captains.
"My lord, this place is reachable, and there are slimes on all sides. After two or three days at a time, they would rush en masse and try to attack us, hitting the outside of the cave. ”
"Of course, you won't have much trouble resisting?" Ivey grasps the importance of the problem.
"It's troublesome, but we can still get rid of those slimes together." The captain replied cautiously. (To be continued.) )
