In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, there is the sound of gurgling water.

In fact, there was no need to listen carefully, because the moment the button was pressed and the floor opened, Mu Xiu and the debt butler fell.

And the place where it fell, which is where they are standing now.

- It's in the body of water that almost overflows overhead, but luckily it seems to be clean, at least there is no disgusting smell.

"It's only more than nine meters and less than ten meters high, so if you're careful, it's not particularly dangerous......"

The debtor steward, who fell from a high altitude and fell into the water, but stabilized his body in just a second or two, and regained his balance, breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about it and spoke.

The sound of running water indicates that the surrounding water is alive, and the depth of the water is less than two meters. Although it is surrounded by a dark and lightless underground space, it is impossible to tell what kind of environment it is for a while.

But there is no possibility that there are any beasts and monsters waiting to be eaten here, because in any natural ecosystem, food needs to be constantly searched, and it is impossible to obtain it by waiting for rabbits.

Otherwise, no one has fallen from above for at least a dozen years, and everything that is guarding here will starve to death.

This is not a game, even if no one has passed by for many years, and there are no people within a hundred miles of the surrounding secluded mountains, there will be brainless bandits and bandits with insufficient IQ to occupy the king.

I don't know what they ate to survive when there was no buying and selling.

"This is seawater, and it is estimated that there is an underground waterway connecting it to the ocean outside......" Mu Xiu replied, then snapped his fingers and summoned a white ball of soft light.

He also didn't care about any danger, if this was a dungeon, they were just coming in, and they were still far from where the final boss was.

What could be in this water depth, which is less than two meters high? Not to mention anything else, the humanoid Gundam next to him alone is completely capable of dismantling the mecha empty-handed when he is in good condition.

Seriously, there are no aquatic or terrestrial creatures on the earth that are enough for him.

The ball of light created by the spell swayed into the air, emitting a pure bright and not dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding space.

It's not surprising that the debt housekeeper is used to it, after all, it is not uncommon for Egret Palace Yi Cheng to exorcise demons and eliminate spirits. He turned his head to look around, and then his eyes lit up, "There's ground over there—"

It seems to be a fortified fortress and the inner corridor of a tomb, and the rugged and rugged huge rocks are cut and transported by unknown means, forming the ground and the surrounding walls and ceilings, and the marble colonnades are as if they are off the ground and integrated with the whole building.

Despite its age, it looks a little dilapidated due to lack of repairs.

However, the remaining silhouette can still be seen, the structure of the building is distinct, the inside and the outside are the same, and with the light emitted by the ball of light and the two people moving forward, the elegant proportions and changing light and shadow of this corridor can be seen from any angle.

"The latter part doesn't look like it's collapsed, it's more like it was designed this way...... Is it a waterway? Or is it just a water dungeon-like place? ”

Ayasaki was down-to-earth, looking back at the black and oppressive waters behind him, and muttered to himself subconsciously while shaking his wet sleeves.

"Who knows, but that direction is certainly not our destination." Mu Xiu replied.

"No, no, no, it's your destination, classmate Mu Xiu, not ours." The debtor steward hurriedly denied that he had no interest in this ghost place, and he only came with it out of a strong sense of responsibility.

To this day, he still doesn't understand what the other party is here for, but he always feels that the other party seems to be looking for something.

"To be honest, I don't really know what I'm looking for, I guess I'll have to see it with my own eyes to be sure, it's just an intuition similar to a hunch." Mu Xiu shrugged indifferently.

"And it doesn't matter if you can't find it, just take it as if you're here to try your luck...... Ayasaki-san, you really don't have to come along. ”

"How can this be done, standing by and watching is not the quality that a housekeeper of the Three Thousand Courtyard should have." Ayasaki shook her head decisively and refused.

"You're not a quality, you're just a ...... Forget it, get ready, although you don't feel any danger, but if you are in trouble, it may not be less. ”

Mu Xiu shook his head, then stretched out the index finger of one hand, gestured at the debtor butler, and made an aiming gesture.

The next moment, the latter only felt a strong gust of air rushing towards his face, blowing his hair and clothes to the hunt...... Wait, shouldn't it be wet?

He subconsciously lowered his head, and found that his body had been renewed, his body and hair had returned to dryness, and his casual clothes had been replaced by a strange coat.

"Why is that......"

"To set the mood, of course."

"Then why didn't you change your clothes, classmate Mu Xiu?"

"There's a deep reason for this...... Ahem, don't say superfluous words, Private Ayasaki! Now get ready, follow me. Mu Xiu said without guilt.

“……”

“……”

“…… Understood, sir. Ayasaki sighed as if she had given up on herself.

However, perhaps because of the dim light around him, the debtor housekeeper did not notice the strange words on his coat, with "Do a good deed every day" on the left side of his chest and "Nosy" on the right.

- As for the words on the back, it is a big line of "Night Dew Death Bitterness".

In a sense, these words fit very well with this guy with a bad personality, and they seem very appropriate.

……

……

The space below is indeed a huge ruin, but it doesn't look like a purpose-built underground labyrinth or something, more like a huge complex of buildings that were originally built on the ground.

It's just that I don't know for what reason, it seems that a fairly complete large-scale collapse has occurred, and basically all the ancient Greek palace buildings have become underground ruins intact, but they are still very well preserved, and the overall damage is not large.

To tell the truth, this must be the result of extraordinary power, because even if it is also capable of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, the power of nature itself cannot achieve such precise control effect.

At least Mu Xiu was only willing to believe that the power of nature could reach the level of magic workmanship, but he definitely did not believe that the power of nature could reach the level of blowing shadows and carving dust.

As for why they were able to directly make the judgment that "this underground space is a huge complex", it is because in an hour's time, Mu Xiu and Ayasaki Sa walked through many iconic locations.

Although most of the time is spent walking through corridors and corridors, and then arriving at many iconic architectural ruins.

- Temples, amphitheaters, corridors or mountain gates, city squares and colonnades, town halls, arenas, monuments, and even entrances to real underground mausoleums.

Perhaps, this is the cityscape of the island's ancestors in ancient times?

It may not seem to be known for sure how many years ago, but there is no doubt that the appearance of Mykonos at that time was particularly civilized.

Along the way, the architectural forms and styles that the two of them saw were very uniform, belonging to a fairly old type-

In other words, although the choice of materials is rough and the style is not as complex as the later expression, which is known for the exquisite perfection of the details, it is more ancient and mysterious.

In some places, the collapse is relatively serious, with only a few pillars standing, but it still cannot hide the grandeur and splendor of the past.

Even Mu Xiu himself had such a feeling, especially when he saw those ancient temples, he even clearly sensed a trace of the residual aura of divinity, and the sense of chaos in the primeval world immediately became clear.

"Zeus, Hera, Apollo, the goddess of wisdom, Poseidon, goddess of fertility, Demeter, goddess of fertility, Artemis the goddess of the moon and the hunt, ......"

Mu Xiu thought back to how many temples he had seen along the way just now: "The temples of the twelve main gods of Olympus, shouldn't they all be in the same place?" ”

"Quite possibly, because a lot of the place is symmetrical...... Maybe we've only covered about half the distance or so now? ”

The Debt Butler whispered, his voice echoing through the empty underground space.

With the help of the light emitted by the white ball of light floating in the air, he squinted his eyes to observe the surroundings, which was also empty, and there was nothing, which made him feel both relaxed and a little lost.

Thanks to his unfortunate constitution that will always be involved in all kinds of troublesome things, and then on the verge of life and death, the debt butler is ready to face the huge monsters in the underground ruins, or the huge mechanical life made by prehistoric alchemy technology.

After all, this kind of thing has not been encountered before, and it can be described as a commonplace for him.

Even the huge underground ruins that he was in front of him couldn't move Ayasaki in the slightest, because he had suffered something similar when he had been tested by the Steward Tiger's Den before.

And at that time, I also encountered a monster similar to that place back then that wanted to possess Xiaoya and kill himself......

Wait a minute! Why didn't I notice that the style of this underground ruin was the same as that of the place...... So similar?!

That place, that kind of monster......

Also, Xiaoya!

For a moment, as if struck by lightning, Ayasaki subconsciously stopped, staring blankly at everything in the space around him, and tears unconsciously continued to flow down his face.

“……”

“……”

"Well, do you need me to give you a little time to be alone?"

Mu Xiu looked at the young man behind him quietly, he was not surprised, he just felt that he would embarrass the other party if he continued to stay here, and he was not the kind of guy who would really rub salt on other people's wounds.

No matter how harmful it is in ordinary times, it can be controlled within the limits of jokes.

However, at this time of age, any joke is clearly inappropriate.

"No, no...... I don't know why, but all of a sudden I burst into tears...... Maybe the air in this place is not very circulating......" The debt housekeeper hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, and found a lame reason to explain his gaffe.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, he seems to have a feeling that he is forcing a smile.

However, Mu Xiu just nodded very understandingly, and then stretched out his hand and pointed forward, intentionally or unintentionally helping the other party change the topic-

"Ayasaki-san, look ahead...... There's a very big mural there. ”

It is a huge palace-like space, surrounded by an unpleasant place, but in front of it stands a huge wall of beautiful paintings, and the tall columns are cleverly interspersed and juxtaposed, making it look imposing.

Even Ayasaki, who can't suppress the sadness in his heart, can perceive the antiquity coming from it, as if he is standing in the ancient mythological era, and is personally experiencing the glorious mystery of ancient Greece.

"What is this...... It seems that there is still text on it? ”

"Yes! The key to the castle opening...... The owner's door...... The center of the world...... There is also a time that is different from the outside. ”

Mu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly-

"It's so old that I don't understand the grammar...... But the specific meaning seems to be ......"
