The iron ship kept circling around the steps, unable to go far or dock.

"Think of a way!" Thea still urged.

"Am I not thinking?" Lukka unleashed several spells in succession, all of which were engulfed in lava.

He sighed, took out those enchanted glass blocks he had made yesterday from his pocket, and said, "These things have the same effect as the magic circles on the ship, and they can be used once to ensure that they are not affected by heat for two hours. ”

"So what?" Phil didn't understand what he was trying to do.

"So, you daring ones are going to volunteer to give yourself an effect with this thing, and then jump down and swim a few meters in the lava to push the ship up the steps. Luca said.

"Captain, the lava is very dense, if it is not ignited, the person should not sink, there is no need to swim, just walk. Phil helped correct.

"That's easier, who's coming?" Lukka asked, holding several pieces of enchanted glass in his hand, expectantly.

Of all of them, Nora was the least afraid of fire, but she could walk in the lava, and even though Lukka patted his chest and assured that the spell would never go wrong, he still hesitated to agree.

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and Ollie finally made up her mind, picked up a piece of glass and smashed it under her feet. She was about to step out of the boat when a voice came from the top of the stairs.

The sound echoed in the empty hall, sounding like the sound of a rock crashing. But it was not at all like a creature's voice, but it was clearly speaking the lingua franca: "Huh, is there another sacrifice? I didn't ask the dwarves to deliver the sacrifice today." ”

"This ...... Is this the spirit of the mountain?" Phil's voice trembled, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing the owner of the voice.

"Let's put it away first. The voice seemed to be talking to itself.

With this sound, the gray steps at the bottom of the staircase, the part that had been flooded by the lava, suddenly clicked, and slowly rose from the lava, transforming from the steps into a flat obsidian path, and lifting the iron ship that kept spinning above it from the lava.

Lukka clenched his staff, Ollie raised his greatsword, and even Phil pulled out his crossbow to prepare for defense, after all, everyone had no idea what the mountain spirit was about to appear.

But as time passed, the figure of the mountain spirit never appeared. It was as if he had forgotten about it after transferring the iron ship from the lava to the obsidian path.

"He can't get out yet, why don't we go inside?" Thea was a little impatient, and when she got to the side of the boat, she wanted to jump down the road.

Lukka grabbed her silver ponytail and pulled her back: "You don't want to die, although there is no lava outside, the temperature in this cave is still very high, you forget, you can roast beef!"

"Ah, yes. What then?" Thea snatched her hair back from his hand.

"I have a way for the others," Lukka said, pulling out more blocks of enchanted glass, "take two for each person, one for two hours, don't forget the time." ”

"As for you," he turned to face the silver dragon, "I can't help it, magic has no effect on you, or you can stay on this ship." ”

"I don't want it!" Thea was about to cry.

"It's a pity I didn't bring those two big men, if Daniel and Lind were here, I could have let them both carry the boat away. Phil said regretfully.

Shut up and tilted his head to look at everyone, then looked down at the iron ship, and suddenly said, "I have an idea." Idiot mage, try putting a grease spell on the bottom of the ship. ”

"Isn't the grease all burning at this temperature?" Lukka stood still.

"No, the layer below the bottom of the ship is also within the range of the circle, and as long as the grease is thin enough not to exceed the range, it will not burn. Shut up and said confidently.

"Okay, I'll try, you add the effect of heat isolation in advance, Thea, you stand in the middle of the boat, in case the oil burns, standing there will not roast you. Lukka said, raising his staff.

When everyone was protected, he added a thermal energy barrier to Shut Up, which was essentially a magic object, as long as it didn't resist itself, casting spells on it was no different from drawing a magic circle on an iron ship.

Sure nothing had slipped, Lukka began to chant the spell of the grease technique. He struggled to control the intensity of the spell, so that the grease covered the bottom of the ship, but it did not exceed the scope of the circle's effect, only a few drops leaked outside, and a few small flames ignited, and soon burned out and fell silent.

"Good. "Now, you can go down and push the boat, and it shouldn't take much effort." ”

The grease spell summoned by the magic was different from ordinary oil, reducing the friction on the bottom of the ship to near none, and Ollie used only one finger to make the iron ship slide on the obsidian pavement.

However, less than a minute after everyone was happy, another problem appeared in front of them.

"With this layer of oil, the iron ship can't climb the stairs, right?" Phil scratched his head as he looked at the stone steps that stretched upwards in front of him.

Ollie lifted the boat with her hand, turned and said, "This boat is lighter than I thought. You just throw away the empty crates on it, and leave the ones with supplies, Thea isn't heavy, and we should be able to push up the stairs together. ”

"That's all there is to it. Lukka had absolute trust in Ollie's strength, and although she seemed to outsiders to be a slender girl, the crew of the Silent Reaper knew that she could easily beat Daniel and Lind in a wrist-wrestling duel.

The empty boxes were tossed down and burned to ashes in an instant, and Lukka tied the remaining boxes to the ship with ropes, allowing Thea to cling to them. Then everyone worked together to lift the bow of the boat, set it up on the stairs, and began to push it up. Of course, it was mainly Ollie's strength that worked, and the others were basically just putting on a show.

The bow of the iron ship was raised about thirty degrees along the angle of the staircase, and with each upward movement, the bottom of the ship hit the obsidian steps with a crisp "bell".

After a short staircase and a rhythmic sound, the iron ship finally reached the second floor, and Lukka walked from the back of the boat to the side of the boat and asked Thea, "You're not familiar, are you?"

Thea's hands were still tightly gripping the rope that tied the box, and her voice kept shaking, not at all like the usual silver dragon who was not afraid of the sky and the earth: "No...... Not baked, but ...... It's almost ripe for you. ”

"It's good if it's not cooked. Lukka laughed.

"It's strange," Phil said, looking down the dark hallway in front of him, "we brought the boat up, and there was such a big commotion, why didn't that mountain spirit react at all?"
