After following this for a while, the gap between the two sides immediately appeared.

The giant's pace did not seem fast, but each step was surprisingly far; The silver-haired girl didn't dare to speed up and run, and it didn't take long for her to lose her follow.

"The direction in which she went...... It seems to be where the ship is. ”

Xia looked at the dark road in front of him, thinking of those terrifying puppets just now, and hesitated a little in his heart:

Do you want to keep going?

"Forget it, let's go back, curiosity is definitely not as important as life."

Finally she retreated and quietly retreated.

Just a few steps back, my foot tripped over something.

She was steady on her feet, and immediately jumped over the obstacle, turning her head to see a pair of lifeless eyes staring at her.

"--It's a puppet!"

She was so shocked that she immediately pulled out her dagger, but after a long time, the doll showed no signs of moving.

"Mireyer said not so long ago that the Hill Watcher is activated with a power core."

The silver-haired girl remembered one thing, looked at the puppet and thought:

"These things should also rely on some kind of alchemy core to activate, and they usually don't have the ability to act on their own, and they will only stand up when they are ordered to do so."

"Although I want to find out where the core is, and study the composition carefully, after all, alchemy is my weakness; But disassembling this thing without permission will cause an alarm or something......"

Natsu carefully stepped over the puppet without touching its body again, and then she paid attention, and if she looked closely, she would find that there was a hand or a foot hidden in many of the environments that looked like garbage heaps, and the other side of the entrance to the ruins was full of these terrible puppets.

"God forbid."

The silver-haired girl made a strange gesture.

It was a prayer of her own making, and she didn't want to pray to that old fellow of the Radiant Dominator Zado.

"Boom......" There was a faint sound of water in the distance. It was as if a ship had entered the water.

"Mireyer is gone?"

Hearing the movement gradually fade away, Natsu's mind suddenly appeared with the strange look of the giantess when she was leaving.

"According to those myths, giants should also like to collect treasures, right?"

She pondered in her heart:

"Did Mireyer hide something good somewhere else, so he deliberately used a one-way barrier to stop us from coming out? Then she secretly went to the treasure house by herself. ”

"--Treasures can't be damaged even if it's thousands of years, right?"

The silver-haired girl rubbed her hands together and decided to take a look at the treasure trove of imaginary giants. Even if you remember the location or the code.

In this way, when she returns, she can find a way to open the treasure again, and Mireyer, who calls herself the 'Last Guardian', probably doesn't know where to go at that time.

"It's a little dangerous, though, to get so close."

She searched around for a while, found a large otter monster behind a small boat, and rode on it to the ship carrying Mireyer.

Unexpectedly, after swimming for a few minutes, the otter suddenly bumped into an invisible barrier and flipped into the water with her.

"Poof!"

The silver-haired girl's head emerged from the water, and she reached forward in confusion.

"What's it, enchantment?"

Her hand touched a viscous paste-like transparent wall, and a faint flash passed. The impenetrable barrier of the otter was easily broken by her.

"Renewable Enchantment, I don't know if there is an alarm, get out of here quickly!"

She's here as a thief, and who knows how Mireyer will react when she sees her here? Immediately, he passed through the magical barrier and dived deep into the water.

"Bite that thing twice, then run back." She gave a command to the otter with a psychic voice.

The otter opened its mouth and bit down on the barrier, and was immediately blown out of the way, tumbling and falling into the water.

After that, it never dared to come near this side again. Instead, he fled far away.

"My summoner's level is very low here, and such a weak monster can ignore my orders."

Natsu noticed that the otter was disobedient. In desperation, he had no choice but to continue diving into the deep water, hoping to do so without being discovered by the giantess.

After about 2 minutes or so, a huge foot stepped into the water, and the waves caused her to spit out a few bubbles, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and surged into the distance with the current.

"Squeak squeak!!"

The otter spotted a terrifying thing coming after him from behind. Scared to slap the water.

“……”

Natsu was washed hundreds of meters away by the water, and watched the foot slowly retract under the water, as if he had recognized that the intruder in front of him was just a small animal.

"Bang!!"

Then there was a slapping sound.

"This is the state of Mireyer in the trial enchantment."

The silver-haired girl secretly guessed.

When all the sounds were gone, she dared to emerge from the water, and her dark vision could easily observe her surroundings. At this time, except for the remaining circle ripples in the center of the water surface, the figure of the giantess has disappeared.

"The water here is so weird, there isn't even a single fish or shrimp."

Natsu held her breath and dived from the bottom again, swimming in the direction where the foot had left.

Due to the limited physical strength now, she took the method of coming out to breathe for a while at intervals, and her speed was much slower, and she did not see the ship for half an hour.

"You can't be going the wrong way, right?"

She floated on the water, looking worriedly at the many forks in the road in front of her, the winding underground waterway, and she didn't know where to chase it.

"Master, where are you—"

Just when she was at a loss, Irene's voice sounded in her head.

"Where are you? I'm done with my mission and I'm back......"

Although the artifact Lori can fly, its speed is much slower than that of Xue Qian, and even if it starts early, it still has to return some time later than the Flame Goddess.

"Erin, come over here."

The silver-haired girl's eyes lit up and she immediately replied.

"Master, why did you run underground again?"

The little green Lori flew over from the top of the rock and waved her arms vigorously at the master: "Although Erin likes to venture in such a mysterious place. But more worried about the safety of the host......"

"Come here."

In this dark and gloomy environment, Xia was extremely happy to see little Lori, and suddenly hugged her into his arms.

"It's more comfortable in the master's arms."

Erin happily lay on her chest and rubbed the plump place: "And the master's is also relatively large......"

"Okay, don't be coquettish yet."

Xia found that he hadn't seen her for a few days, and the ability of this artifact Lori to rub her chest was a little higher. Feeling strange in his chest, he reached out and lifted her aside.

"Master, the scene on the Faense continent is much worse than when we came."

Little Lori chattered about what she had seen and heard on the road.

"There is no hurry for these first, and there will be time to say it later."

Natsu pointed to a waterway with a high probability and gave her an order:

"Go there to scout invisibly, remember, even if there is an abnormality, don't lift the stealth, the other party's strength is too strong, and it will be discovered if you are not careful."

- If discovered. Our treasure will be gone. ”

She touched Erin's head and said:

"Maybe there's still danger...... Do you understand that? ”

"I see, master."

Little Lori nodded, clenched her fists and flew out.

The shard of the god does not need to rest and sleep, and the little Lori who got the task is happier than anything else, so she doesn't feel like she is abusing labor.

"It's more reassuring to have them by your side."

The silver-haired girl wrung her soaked clothes, and she didn't dare to use magic here, so she walked forward drenched, and found a wide waterway along the shore of the underground lake.

"Huh. There are scratches here, and they look very new. ”

She found a protruding rock at the water's edge that had been worn off its edges. The rock jutted out of the water diagonally like a spear, but the tip seemed to have been rubbed by something, damaging a large area.

"Erin, Erin?"

She tried to call the artifact Lori, but the two of them seemed to be out of distance by now.

"Anyway, she can roughly sense my location, so she won't be lost at such a close distance."

Natsu pulls out the dagger of Godfall. Splitting at the rock, he felt that the texture of the thing was quite hard, and he confirmed his suspicion more and more.

"Boom."

After walking about a kilometer, there was an echo in the underground cavern.

It was as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and the sound should have been far from here. But the movement caused is not small at all.

"Tom."

"Here we go again."

Natsu didn't stop, frowning and continuing to walk forward for a while, but as a result, the sound of this obvious destruction became more and more frequent, as if a raging giant was tearing apart the building, which made people feel a little frightened to hear.

"Mireyer's demeanor has always been indifferent, not like a brutal giant who needs to destroy objects or kill people to maintain his sanity."

Her heart lifted high, and she hid the Dagger in her short skirt, clinging to her thighs wrapped in black silk, the dagger that was her greatest reliance on divine creatures.

"Squeak...... Syllable! ”

It's the sound of something being torn down and then snapping off.

"Boom!"

Another heavy object fell to the ground, and the loud echo from inside the cavern shook people's ears.

"Erin?"

Xia felt that it was inappropriate to approach so rashly, and waited in place for a while, trying to send a message to Little Lori, but still did not get a response.

"It's finally done."

Mireyer's voice suddenly rang out, and his words were full of satisfaction, not at all like he was in a rage.

"Let's take a look."

Xia's heart let go of a little and touched the rock wall.

Out of the darkness emerged a rather dilapidated harbor, where large and small ships could be seen, most of which had been destroyed.

The smaller of these ships were more intact, but the larger ships were all damaged like a storm, and there was not a single mast left on them, and a few of them were overturned into the water, and thick dark green moss could be seen on them, and some unnamed aquatic plants could be seen.

"There are ordinary folk buildings here?"

Xia looked at the neat houses arranged on the shore, as well as those doors and windows with a strong exotic style, and had the illusion of coming to the port city of the Western Continent.

"Huh. An uninhabited harbor, a silent square...... It's really fun to put a boat here......"

The giantess Mireyer's voice came intermittently from the complex, high as thunder, low as a maiden's whisper, and completely inaudible as she was talking.

"If it's just a human city that has sunk underground. There should be nothing to explore. ”

Natsu hit the water stains on his body and began to wander around this massive underground city.

"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ......"

A crisp crash sounded in the square in the center of the city, which caught her attention.

"Is it a clock tower, it hasn't stopped running yet, and the quality of this clock is too good."

Curious, she walked to that side, and halfway through, Mireyer's head suddenly rose in the middle of the two adjacent buildings.

“――！！”

The silver-haired girl covered her mouth and quickly hid in a small courtyard.

I saw the giantess's face happy. Holding a half-section of the building like a water storage tower in his hand, he was pouring water on a large ship that was shining black, and after pouring the water, he took out a thick brush and began to clean the stains on it.

"It seems that Mireyer really likes boats, and she is so careful with their maintenance."

"Don't you know there's something good in that ship?"

Natsu watched as the giantess finished brushing the boat, threw down the brush and walked towards the shore, the robe made of flames suddenly slipped off her smooth calves, and then a pair of toned legs appeared in someone's eyes that were gradually widening. Slowly sinking into the water, then the buttocks. Back......

"Peeking at people taking a bath is immoral!"

The silver-haired girl desperately suppressed her gaze and twisted her face back.

"It was Mireyer herself who put me on her breasts, and you can't blame me."

With her back to the wall, she could hear her heart pounding.

"But now she didn't invite me, and I must not be found out by her......"

She regretted a little why she didn't come along.

Anyway, we're all women.

――You rub my back in the shower, and I'll help you fix your hair. Isn't that normal?

"What's more, my body is so small, I must be able to help her clean up the parts that are usually difficult to clean...... Oh hehehe......"

She imagined the sight-settling scene as she wiped her drool.

"No, how did I become so dirty?"

Xia suddenly raised his hand and hit himself.

"You've got Nana, Lili baby. Little Love, Wendy, Vampire Wendy, Al, Glady...... With so many harems, why do you still want to take a bath with other women? It's just ...... Too...... That's something. ”

She sneaked a glance over there, only to catch one (HX) and retract her head in a shock.

"Hurry up and get down to business!"

The silver-haired girl bit her lip hard and dived towards the big ship.

It is very time-consuming for women to take a bath, especially when it comes to taking care of their hair, and Natia Vida and Wendy the vampire often wash for 2 hours at a time, so she has every chance to explore the big ship.

However, the half-elf girl likes to make some atmospheric bubbles with water magic and soak in the bath for a long time; Vampires love to bathe in blood...... She once asked where the blood came from, and Wendy always laughed and didn't answer.

Later, she quietly found out the source of the blood, which turned out to be a blood supply depot run by the Northern Territory; People in this world also know the common sense of first aid, but the classification of blood is not as detailed as in the 28th century, and one in 100 people may die by blood transfusion, which is already a good proportion at Westminster's level.

"It's so extravagant, there are so many precious ornaments in it."

She couldn't take her eyes off the decorations on the walls and tables, and although she wasn't as interested as the noble lady, beautiful things naturally attracted people's attention.

"Xue Qian probably didn't even go in here to take a look, so she directly sealed it."

After visiting the gleaming, gem-encrusted bedrooms and bathrooms, she was about to continue her journey when she suddenly noticed a faint fluctuation of magic.

The ripple was a round jar, which looked like it was supposed to be used for liquid such as shower gel, and at the top of that jar, a gem was bright and a little strange, and Natsu walked over and picked it up, and the light on it immediately went out, making a crackling sound.

"It's ...... Magic Image Props! ”

The silver-haired girl threw the thing that had become waste to the ground with a gloomy face.

"The person who donated the ship was obviously uneasy and kind, and actually hid the magic item that can collect images in the bathroom."

"It's a pity that they don't know that the Flame Goddess of this era doesn't bathe with water at all, because she can't control the fire that permeates her body."

"- Before leaving, if you have the chance, you must teach these people a lesson!"

She thought hatefully.

The structure of the warship was slightly different from that of ordinary ships, and she used her experience to find the ship's hidden storage room, pried open the secret door with a dagger, and began to search for useful things.

"I didn't expect it...... The owner of the ship was a man of great learning, and the dark room was full of books, and there was not even anything of value. ”

"But for me, it's these things that are the most precious."

There were a lot of books in it, and Natsu tried to look through some chronicles and other things, and found that the text was very obscure to read, so he threw it aside and began to focus on the knowledge related to magic.

"In the 305th year of the magic calendar, three hundred years after the god of law descended into the world, the pattern of the Faense continent has undergone new changes......"

The silver-haired girl silently turned the pages of the book, as if returning to that era of incomparably chaotic but incomparably glorious for mankind with the slightly desolate description on it.

"Huh?"

When she came back to her senses, immersed in the sea of history and magic, the hull of the entire ship suddenly shook.

"Bang!"

A loud bang was heard, which shook her and bounced off her chair.

"Something happened."

She cautiously moved outward, and as she passed by the window, she saw the giantess's palm slap against the hull again, and the shock came again, this time because she was closer, and she fell directly to the floor with several chairs.

"It hurts...... What the hell is she crazy about? Do you want to push this ship into the sea again? ”

"Or do you want to experiment with whether the ship is sturdy or not, so you have to slap it first? Her strength is so great, what if it really falls apart. ”

Natsu rubbed her ass and got up from the ground, leaning against the wall and slowly walking forward, all the way to the lower deck.

(HX here some)

The hull creaked, and a drop of clear liquid fell from above, hitting the deck not far from her, shattering into countless crystal splashes.

"Poof!" The silver-haired girl couldn't dodge and was splashed in the face.

“……”

Someone retreated into the cabin with an earthy face, his chest heaving violently, and he sat down against the wall.

Then he stretched out his hand with a dull gaze and touched his face, his white hands were covered with sticky water stains with a strange smell. (To be continued.) )
