Chapter 169: Detection (I)
"Are you sure, Romon, are you going to do this?" Nick was the first to disagree after hearing Romon this idea.
At this time, it was already past dinner time, and there were several empty dishes in front of Nick, and when he got up and touched them, they immediately collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
Seeing Luo Meng sitting there, silent, he became more and more excited and said: "You are the lord, even if there is really any problem, you don't need to go in person, right? Find some experienced adventurers, find some experienced warriors, and let them go? If something happens to you, then, who will take care of this big mess? You are responsible for the honor and life and death of the entire territory!"
Obviously, he didn't agree to let Romon take the risk.
Although Fafer on the side did not say anything against it, he said to Romon bluntly: "You can go, but you must let me go with you, you go alone, I don't worry." ”
Although the bell didn't say anything, his big eyes were watery, and he obviously didn't want him to go.
Luo Meng was a little troubled by this situation, so he had to explain: "It's not that I don't want others to go, first of all, this gap matter, I don't want to do it is well known, so the less people know about it, the better." Secondly, there may not be danger in this gap, I just feel a very strange aura, this kind of aura, only the druid can sense it, even if there is any danger, you follow me, it may not be able to help, besides, I just go down to take a look, see what the situation is, and it will come up soon. ”
"But ......"
"There's nothing you can't do, don't forget, I'm also cultivating, if I'm afraid of everything because I'm a lord now, I have a little property, then it's hard to develop in the future. Seeing what Nick wanted to say, Romon immediately said very seriously.
Turning his face to look at Fafer, Romon said again: "It's only happened now, and the territory is a little unstable, so the territory still needs you here, you give me a good guard of the territory, no matter when I come back, you have to show me a territory that is intact and has nothing to do!"
"Got it. Hearing Romon say this, Nick opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Fafer had already nodded in understanding.
After all, he is also a cultivator, so he knows very well that sometimes, it is difficult to really grow up without going through hardships, even those born nobles, when cultivating and studying, they will often go to some dangerous places to take risks, in order to improve their level, so, for Luo Meng's approach, he quite agrees, besides, there may not be any danger under the gap!
"Forget it, I know I can't persuade you, you can decide. In a two-to-one situation, Nick wisely chose to shut up.
The only one who doesn't know how to cultivate, doesn't understand politics, and doesn't want Luo Meng to be in danger is the bell.
As early as after Romon pushed her down, this little girl's heart has already regarded Romon as her life's support, so she is the most worried about Romong's adventurous actions.
Romon couldn't laugh or cry, and the poor appearance of the bell didn't look like a first-class druid at all, on the contrary, it looked like a puppy and kitten about to be discarded by its owner.
"Bell, I just want to go down and investigate, you don't have to be sad to be like this, right?" Looking at her look of being so worried that she was about to cry, Luo Meng's heart softened.
Seeing Luo Meng laughing and talking about himself, the bell sniffled twice, and the tears almost didn't fall: "My lord, it's okay, I'll wait for you at home." ”
Although she said that, her voice was thick nasal, and it looked very pitiful.
"Yes. My bell is so good. Romon scraped the girl's nose with his hand, and the affectionate gesture immediately made the bell blush.
At the same time, the two large light bulbs on the side couldn't help but cough dryly.
"Fafer, I think we'd better go out first, it's not good to disturb others. Nick laughed.
Fafer looked serious and glanced at Nick: "People haven't done anything, what are we shy about?"
Then, he turned to Romon and said, "Romong, it's getting dark, we're going home!"
As he spoke, he pulled Nick next to him.
"These two guys!" Seeing that Nick and Fafer both ran out with ambiguous smiles on their faces, Romon scolded with a smile, and then looked at the bell.
At this time, the bell was already so ashamed that his face was flushed. Seeing Luo Meng looking at him, he suddenly lowered his head uncomfortably, this shy girl's appearance suddenly made Luo Meng want to do it.
"Bell, it's getting dark. He walked over, picked the bell's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile.
The bell whispered a faint "En", and this time, even his neck turned red.
Seeing this, Romon leaned over and hugged the bell horizontally.
Carrying the girl all the way into the room, Romon closed the door with his backhand.
The next morning, under the service of the bell, Romon washed up, and after breakfast, began to prepare for the lower gap.
Because he had imagined many crisis situations inside, Luo Meng really put a lot of effort into preparation, and the prepared food, water, and various tools were secretly put into the Shennong Corner space.
When everything was ready, he first said goodbye to the bell, and then, on his horse, followed by Nick and Fafel, the three of them all the way to the top of the hill.
"Alright, that's it, I'll go myself. Seeing that the two of them still wanted to follow, Luo Meng said.
Nick was still a little uneasy: "Isn't it okay for us to wait for you on the gap?"
Luo Meng smiled: "I think, the inside of the gap is not simple, it is likely to be a passage to a certain place, if I don't come up in a day or two, do you have to wait on it for a day or two?"
"Still, there has to be an approximate time, and if something happens to you inside, how will we know?" Fafer also advised.
Romon pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, five days at most, and if I don't come back within five days, I'll let you go, how about it?"
"Okay, it's up to you. Both Nick and Fafel agreed.
Immediately, under their watchful eye, Romon urged his horse to the bottom of the hills.
Following the same path as last time, Romon led the horse and walked inward, through a large stretch of rubble on the ground, and finally, the entrance to the mine appeared.
"Alright, man, wait for me outside. Not knowing how long he would be in, Romon did not tie the horse, touched the reins, patted the horse lightly, and with the power of the druid, gave the horse the command that it could move freely in the vicinity.
Then, by himself, he walked into the entrance, which was about two people wide and more than one person high. There was some dampness in the passage, probably because it had just rained, and there was some water on the ground, and it was a little slippery when I stepped on it.
"Light Technique!" As soon as he entered this passage, Luo Meng used the Light Technique.
The suspended ball of light illuminates the surroundings very brightly, and the unevenness on the four walls can be seen clearly. The mine is very quiet, only the sound of water dripping down the walls, and occasionally some strange sounds, and if you listen closely, you can tell that it is some wind.
Romon himself was very light, and the hilt of his right hand was already clenched tightly, although they had thoroughly checked it last time, and the black spider monster had already been wiped out, but God knows what else would appear here.
Therefore, along the way, Romon was cautious.
When I came to that crack, the light technique was not half used, and when I looked inside through the light, there was a black hole, and I couldn't see anything clearly, it seemed to be a bottomless abyss.
The cautious character still kept him from acting rashly, he first picked up a stone from the side and threw it downward.
Throwing it down, after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the sound of landing, and Romon couldn't help but be terrified.
How deep is this?
"Light Technique!" Luo Meng's light technique used this time was to condense into a ball, drop the ball of light, and then stare at it, only to see a ball of light quickly sink down, illuminating everything.
There was a small platform underneath that, which seemed to be able to stand on it, and I would look at it when I went down, Romon thought, though he saw that there was a deeper gap underneath the small platform.
Romon had no great courage, and after making sure that there was no danger around the gap, he took a ball of extremely long and strong rope from the space, tied one end to a stone pillar not far from here, and tied the other end to himself, and then returned to the edge of the gap.
"It seems that there is no danger found down there yet. Romon grabbed the stone between the crevices with one hand, and had the protection of the rope, and then, little by little, climbed down.
The lower he went, the more he felt the space around him expand to both sides, and the wind was swirling upward.
In a moment, Romon had his feet touching the ground, and he quickly untied the rope from his waist, and then, with his sword in hand, carefully observed his surroundings.
And everything that appeared in front of him surprised him very much, and even made him a little dizzy.
It turned out that the platform was a protruding piece, and then below, like the cliff, there was a larger and deeper gap below, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance, but it felt that the gap was getting bigger and bigger.
What is there in this underground world under the sun-drenched ground?
For the first time, Romon was full of hesitation.
He didn't feel that in the sun-drenched mining area, a fellow dressed as an adventurer, climbed up and checked his horses.
Romon was going to explore the crevice, and he didn't deliberately hide it, and after the man was sure, he began to turn around and leave quickly.
When they arrived at the village, two more people greeted them, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Captain, it's been determined that Romon has entered the crevice to investigate. The adventurer who went up to check whispered.
"Inform the bishop immediately and report the situation to the bishop. ”
"Yes!" one of them immediately replied respectfully.
