Looking at the little girl's distressed expression, Loki smiled, took out a shiny coin from the money bag, and played with it flexibly between his fingers.

This is an Austro-German Gold Coin, and its golden luster has an extraordinary charm.

Little Fatuna looked curiously, she had never seen such a beautiful coin.

"Don't skimp on money, I'll give it to you, little Fatuna. ”

Loki smiled and handed over the gold coin, but the little girl only touched it curiously twice, obviously a little reluctant, but she stretched out her little hand and handed it back stubbornly.

"No, I can't ask for it, it's Loki's brother's money, and I can buy a lot of things if I keep it......"

She grabbed the corner of Loki's coat with one hand, and the little head with a red baseball cap shook like a rattle.

The little girl said she didn't want gold coins that could buy a lot of things.

Loki naturally did not force this half-elf little girl, one big and one small, and left the silent town together.

It was almost afternoon, and I went back to the training ground south of the town, where the serious-looking trainer was training with the young militia of the town.

These young people in the town have obviously forgotten about this half-elf boy.

Old Barney Longbow also glanced at him from afar, and didn't think much about it, just a young man who couldn't be named.

But for some reason, the trainer's eyeballs suddenly rolled back a few times, and in an instant they quickly returned to normal.

No one paid attention to the strange situation, not even himself.

......

The cave is a bit far from Silent Town, and it has to cross a valley terrain, and it's relatively hidden, which is why it's safer.

Carrying a few heavy packages, even little Fatuna helped share a bag of food, and the two people who returned to the cave were tired enough.

Although a lot of food was bought, with Loki's huge food consumption and a greedy half-elf girl, she would probably only be able to eat for about five days.

But it's nothing, it's usually safer in the town, and you can buy it again if it's missing.

A bonfire was rekindled, and little Fatuna was taught by hand, and the little girl was obviously very clever and quickly learned how to start a fire.

Loki told her to rest for a while, and he took a few torches of pine oil and began to examine the cavern little by little.

Either he didn't have a chance before, or he didn't look carefully enough, although he had the ability to see at night, but in the deep hole in the pitch black, his vision was relatively blurry.

A bright fire, with his footsteps, illuminated the stone walls of the cave little by little.

There are many things recorded on the stone wall, most of which are some ancient characters and strange symbols, and these words are occasionally repeated.

But it is not a popular lingua franca in human cities.

Loki couldn't even recognize it, and the quantum biocomputer couldn't do anything about it, and it didn't contain the analytical translation capabilities of the unknown text.

He can only forcibly store this information in memory space in the form of graphics and pictures.

It took a long time, and a few torches of pine resin oil were almost finished.

Loki didn't miss the slightest detail, and only then did he finish exploring this section of the cavern.

This quaint text symbol, not counting repetitive paragraphs, has about a thousand differences, and is obviously a relatively complete civilized writing system.

Even with massive memories and powerful quantum computers, this is not a realistic solution because there are no simple references.

He couldn't help but think that there might be a cave at the other end of the waterhole, and his psychological expectations couldn't help but be lowered, and he was afraid that it would be an indecipherable text message, but there was no other way, he could only explore it with one mind.

Back in the depths of the cave, the small figure was still sitting quietly by the campfire.

Little Fatuna was meticulously roasting food skewered from branches on the fire, and some of the baked things were laid aside.

The half-elf girl couldn't help but drool a little.

She was obviously holding back her cravings and was waiting for her brother to come back and eat these hard-won tasty things with her.

Loki took the little girl's heart, patted the baseball cap on her head, and sat down to eat this barbecue dinner with her.

Little Fatuna had never made a fire before, apparently it was the first time she had grilled something like this, most of the food was very mushy, and there was a little bit of meat that was not fully cooked.

But the two half-elf figures, one big and one small, ate very happily, and after a while, they ate all the food.

......

With an adequate caloric supply of food, Loki's body will not be weak.

He was going to start reworking his plans and dive into the icy hole.

Moved the burning bonfire to the waterhole.

This way, the light source will be more obvious, so that you will not get lost in the deep and dark water.

A heavy mass of rope was thrown on the ground, the rope was tens of meters long, obviously a little too long, but he thought that the preparation could not be too much.

Leaving little Fatuna to look after him, Loki tied one end of the rope around his waist and stripped off his shirt.

First, he poured some cold water on his neck and upper body to get used to it first, and then slowly poked into the water with the lower half of his body.

Take a few slow and deep breaths with your lungs to fully store a little itch in your brain.

Then, in the worried eyes of the little half-elf girl.

He sank into the dark water......

......

In the deep water, the whole body is cold and biting, and the water pressure also increases little by little.

There was silence in the water, and sonic hearing could not catch any other sounds in the water, only a little of its own heartbeat.

At first, the pool was more than two meters deep, and his feet quickly touched the bottom, and his heart remained clear, knowing that he had less than a minute.

His lung capacity is relatively average, but fortunately, his body consumes less oxygen.

But usually it takes more than a minute and a half to hold your breath, but in this environment, it can only support a minute.

He swam deep in front of him in a frog diving position against the bottom of the hole, trying to clear his mind and minimize his oxygen consumption.

There was only a distance of less than twenty meters, and the front of his eyes was still deep, and there was no end in sight.

With little time left, he groped his way through the cave wall below, and finally found a crack in the stone wall.

He immediately pulled out a metal spike at the front end, and with a tool like a ring behind it, he laboriously inserted it into the crack in the stone.

Loki's mouth and nose were a little painful, but his hands did not stop.

He untied the rope from his waist and tied it to the ring of the wedge-like tool.

Then with a little force, he quickly pulled the rope in the other direction, and the other end of the rope was the little Fatuna who was waiting on the shore of the cave.

Although it didn't take long for the little girl to be anxious, the little girl was anxious, and after feeling that the rope in her hand was abnormal, the little girl quickly tied the rope to a stone pillar next to her as she had explained before.

In the cold deep water, with a fixed rope, Loki didn't have to struggle to confirm the direction.

But he had to swim back quickly.
