"Al's injuries have stabilized, and he has now fallen into a normal sleep state."

The two of them returned to the crack one after the other, and saw that everyone was standing outside at this time, and the female cadet with a sniper rifle on her back whispered to Abner.

The reason why she used such a small voice seemed to be because she was afraid of affecting Al's rest, her voice was very gentle, completely different from the appearance of the poisonous tongue before.

"Hey, mage, why did you come back on your own, Captain?"

Albert was talking to the female student when he saw Sadonan ask strangely.

"Captain? Captain, she's right behind me. ”

Sadonan was also strange, turned back and said, "She's been ...... Ay? What about people. ”

He suddenly found that Natsu behind him was gone.

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, everyone felt a voice ringing in their heads.

"Who, is it the captain?"

Several people were startled and looked around, but there was no trace of Xia.

Xia looked at the surprised appearance of the team members not far away, and was very satisfied with the stealth skills he learned as an assassin LV30.

"Abner, Class: Shield Warrior, Level: Level 94".

"Stephanie, isn't there something like stealth skills that shouldn't be ineffective for high-level characters? Why is it that my assassin level is almost 60 levels behind him, and Albernar hasn't discovered me yet. ”

Xia asked Stephanie who was hiding next to her.

"It was supposed to be like this, but according to your orders, I used the remaining experience points to upgrade this elementary skill, and the stealth effect is 3 times the original one; Moreover, your overall strength assessment is now over level 70, and the gap between you and the other party is actually not that big. ”

Stephanie answered her mind.

Comprehensive evaluation is a system to measure a person's overall strength, which is related to the total value of a person's number of occupations, skill level, etc., which can prevent the level confusion caused by too many occupations and make the division of strength clearer.

As for the voice that sounded in everyone's minds just now, it is an application of psychic induction after upgrading to LV2, which can telepathize with others, but it is ineffective against enemies and intelligent beings who are wary of her, and it has a wonderful effect on her like Sadonan, who respects her like a celestial.

"Hey, I'm here."

Natsu lifted his stealth and beckoned to the team members not far away.

"Captain!"

"Sister Xia!"

The team members were relieved when they saw her, and those who were a little puzzled also temporarily put aside what they had just done, and came over to surround her.

"Now that Al has improved, let her lie there and rest...... Sadonan, Abner, you should be very tired too, everyone sit down first, did you find anything in your exploration just now? ”

Natsu motioned for everyone to sit down.

She herself was still standing, but she took two steps back without a trace, so as not to walk naked in front of others.

This is the result of experience, since Lorraine and Darrow almost saw the panties in the Thousand Bell Flower Cave, she has a little bit of a girl's self-consciousness.

- She hasn't looked at Xia's body carefully, how can she take it lightly and cheapen others!

"We found a path in the crack where Sadonan first saw the dragon, but deep inside that path was a door, and we couldn't open it, so we came back."

Ebner, who seemed to be a little tired, took out a drink potion and took a few sips, wiped his beard with his hands, and replied first.

"What a door."

Natsu raised her eyebrows.

If it's a Might and Magic Gate, she has a high chance of breaking it, but if it's the other type, it's hard to say.

Because except for Abner, the current strength of the people here is not high, including her now.

"Metal mechanical doors."

Abner sighed and uttered an answer that Xia didn't want to hear right now:

"Hell, why is there legacy technology on an island full of necromancy and demons? It was definitely the largest and strongest metal door I'd ever seen, and it seemed to have some ancient access control system on it, and that stupid mage of Sadonam hadn't studied the scientific aspects and couldn't understand it. This sentence made Sadonan, who was a very poor arcane mage, had never studied the legacy technology known as the King of Burning Money.

According to Abner's experience, these sturdy metal doors, which are usually found in important places and treasure storage rooms, are made of magically insulated metal, and are often so heavy and strong that they are difficult to break even with magic bombs.

Listening to his complaints, Xia thought for a while, and found that he didn't seem to have a good way now:

"With a knife? This is a bit too wasteful, even if the black long knife is very sharp, it will inevitably be damaged after cutting the metal for a long time, and if it is broken, it will be difficult for him to find a special weapon for a magic swordsman at present, which will greatly reduce his strength. ”

"Shoot with magic energy? Not to mention the limited ammunition, whether it can work or not is two different things, not to mention magic, this kind of door is given priority to magic insulation. ”

"Stephanie, does the manual have a description of this door?" She remembered that she had a cheating device like Lori in black, so she asked in her mind.

"It's a pity, master."

Stephanie thought for a moment, shook her head, and said:

"Although this plot is mentioned in the materials I absorbed, the composition of the team that came here at that time was much stronger than it is now, and this door didn't seem to cause any obstacles, so there is no specific record of this."

"Abner, Sadonan, you who have just come back should rest for the time being...... Will you come with me there to have a look? ”

Xia thought about it for a long time, and decided to take a look at the actual situation first, so he pointed to the female student who had been staying next to him timidly.

The one she pointed out was the girl who bombarded Tuscant with light in a hurry, and the other party was reprimanded by Al for this incident.

"Yes, Sister Xia!"

Different from her cowardly appearance, the girl stood up excitedly after being clicked, and walked quickly to Xia's side.

"She seems to admire you very much, and she actually calls her sister...... Hee-hee. Stephanie who floated beside her giggled at the fact that no one could notice her even if she spoke.

"What's your name?"

Natsu glared at Stephanie fiercely and said to the girl.

"Shizuki, the first year of the firearms department of the science and technology department!"

The female cadet named Shizuki replied immediately, and it seemed that the people in the firearms department had received some military training.

"Hmm...... May you ask me why you call me that? ”

Xia hesitated for a moment and asked her in a whisper.

"Because Al often mentions you to us, and that's what she calls your sister, I have just seen your majestic and elegant battle, and I have become completely obsessed with you, so I want to call you my sister like Al!"

Shizuki put her hands together in a look of worship, her eyes lit up.

"+1 followers, congratulations, 'Sister-sama'!"

Stephanie took out the annoying bell again and shook it with a clang.

"Wow poof!"

Natsu stood still, reaching out a hand and pinching her face.

—and then twisted it half a circle hard the moment she made an exhalation sound.

"Spotless wild porphyria is annoying! Leased. (I don't dare anymore!) hosts).

Stephanie's cheek was pulled high, and she said with tears in her eyes, and obediently stuffed the bell into her skirt, not knowing where she was hiding.

“…… Sister Xia? ”

Shizuki looked at the captain who suddenly raised an arm and seemed to be twisting something in the air, and asked strangely.

"Oh, I see, I see...... Come with me. ”

Natsu let go of Stephanie's face.

She found that she seemed to be in love with bullying this black-clothed Lori, especially the smooth and soft little face, which was full of touch!

"Good host, oh, I like it."

Stephanie rubbed her swollen cheeks, clasped her red face with her hands, thought of something strange, and flew through the air towards the crack with the two of them.

"It was just a little cold here, but now it's suddenly the temperature of winter."

Walking in the passage behind the crack, Xia felt as if she had entered winter in advance, and only when she opened the protective shield on her school uniform did she feel a little warmer, and the female student behind her had begun to shiver with cold.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so cold here, why don't you go back first?"

Natsu said apologetically to Shizuki.

"I ...... Not...... relational! ”

The female student named Shizuki had already started to gurgle her teeth, and she said stiffly, looking extremely cold when she looked like that.

"Look at your arms, they're all frozen like this, you're going to get sick if you go on like this."

Xia walked over and stroked her arm exposed outside her school uniform, and said distressedly.

“…… My sister's hands are so warm. ”

Shizuki squinted her eyes slightly, said with enjoyment, and leaned her body into her arms.

Natsu's body stiffened:

This one is a little too proactive, right?

Could it be that it was originally a lily attribute?

"This ...... You see...... There may be danger here, what if we stick to a monster like this? ”

The other party came over so suddenly, her hand didn't know where to put it.

"Sister Xia, ......"

Shizuki's voice seemed strange.

"Huh? Just now, just now...... What the? Your hand...... Touching my ...... Where? ”

Xia stammered.

"My sister's ass is so soft......"

Shizuki whispered, and a hand began to swim dishonestly around her body.

"Stop!"

Although Xia likes to eat other people's tofu, it is very uncomfortable to be rubbed with oil, even if the other party is a girl; She hurriedly pressed Shizuki's shoulder, keeping their bodies at a distance.

There are quirks!

I don't know when, Natsu's eyes faintly revealed a blue light, and a mental fluctuation swept towards Shizuki, her head shook, and she slowly regained her normal eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I'm really ...... Don't know why this is done...... Woo...... Woohoo......"

When Shizuki suddenly woke up, her face was ashamed and ashamed, and she stood there crying.

"Master, there are enemies around!"

Stephanie said suddenly.

"I already know."

Natsu lowered his hand, took a few steps back, and looked around, only to see some dark dirt and bare rocks, and nothing else.

"Psychic LV2: Can influence other people's emotions, telepathize with companions, and protect yourself and your teammates around you from illusions and psychic attacks, detection and warning range: 51 meters. Current Rating: C"

"After this superpower assessment is improved, it can actually resist the spiritual attack of the high-ranking demon, it seems that the 2 million experience is too worthwhile."

After the ability of psychic telepathy was upgraded to LV2, the evaluation was increased from E to C, and the attributes also changed drastically, which made Stephanie also amazed, and she seemed to be really working.

Natsu closed his eyes and sent out several detection waves, but he still didn't feel any trace of the enemy.

"Although I guessed that a demon with a strong vindictive mentality like Manticor would not go very far, I didn't expect to be targeted by it as soon as I stepped out of the range of the arcane barrier...... It just so happens that if it's just targeting me alone, Natia Vida and Abner won't have a problem for the time being. ”

"Master, the enemy seems to have discovered his whereabouts and is now gone."

Stephanie whispered, a little afraid to look into Natsu's eyes.

She claimed to be an artifact that could detect the traces of enemies on a large scale, but she was put on the spot by an A+-level demon in her eyes, which was really a bit dull.

"It doesn't matter, Manticor's spiritual power is at a very high level among demons, and the coverage of its spiritual attack should have exceeded the ordinary detection methods, so let's pay more attention in the future, don't capsize in the gutter."

Xia didn't blame her, but said comfortingly in his mind.

"Hmph, Miss Ben just doesn't want to waste her divine power, so she didn't adjust the detection range to a large extent, and now I've decided to increase the detection range by twice as much!"

Stephanie said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xia said helplessly, then turned around suddenly, and walked to Shizuki, whose face was still stained with tears, and pulled out the hand she was hiding behind her back.

Suddenly, a silver-glowing revolver appeared in front of the two of them.
