Two days later, outside the city of Hog. One carriage after another drove into the Hobbes family's mines, most of them luxurious, many of them bearing ornate aristocratic insignia.

Layers of apprentice-level spiritual power filled the air, making the soldiers stationed in the mining area for a long time tremble.

Outside of war, it is quite rare for such professionals to gather on a large scale, and even on some grand festivals, there are few such battles.

"Hmm, didn't you say there were more than 20 people? It seems like there's a little bit of a lot here. Sean picked up the staff in his hand and dismounted lightly.

He glanced around with some curiosity, and found that there were not as many apprentice-level professionals as Enos had described before, only about a dozen.

"Many of the Hobbesians have stayed in the city, and some of the industries still need to be taken care of by professionals."

"If you have something, there's going to be a dinner party after the problem is solved, and they'll all be there, and you can go and join in the fun." Enos replied with a shrug.

"That's not necessary." Sean politely declined Ainos' invitation. With his promotion to the official rank imminent, it was completely unnecessary to waste time in such a trainee-level communication.

Resources below the formal level are of little use to professionals above the formal level, and even if they are useful, they are only a matter of words after reaching the formal level.

"Okay, then I'll talk to someone else about something first, and Earl Hobbes will discuss the exploration process with us later, and then we just need to do it according to their arrangement." Ainos also knew Sean's temperament, waved his hand helplessly, and walked towards the other carriage.

Most of them, apprentice-level professionals who have been in Hogel City for a long time, know each other, and those who have been staying at home for a long time like Sean are only a few.

After all, in the eyes of these apprentice-level professionals, it is almost impossible to break through the formal level, and the strength gap between the apprentice levels cannot be easily opened, so it is better to enjoy life more and expand interpersonal relationships by the way.

It is precisely because of this that the aristocracy was able to recruit so many professionals to work for themselves, and they took advantage of the desires of the people's hearts.

………… Once the men were almost ready, Earl Ian Hobbs announced some simple arrangements, as well as precautions to be taken under the mines.

Since the mine has been shut down since the accident, no one knows what the situation is underground, and the only reliable source is the large-scale ritual magic arranged in the mine.

Although this ritual magic has a detection effect, it is actually quite small, covering only the area that has been discovered and is being mined.

As a result, it is unable to provide any help or clues to the missing persons, other than to help monitor the relatively superficial mining area.

Strange to say, if it was really some unknown monster that caused the disappearance, then why hasn't there been any trace of the monster until now?

Sean was a little apprehensive in his heart. He quietly raised the staff in his hand and released several prophecy spells, but the feedback of the spells told him that everything was normal underground, and there would be no danger that could threaten him for the time being.

Although Sean has not studied the spells of the prophecy system in depth, with the power of the staff of reincarnation, he still has some confidence in the results of his prophecy.

Coupled with the fact that there were a lot of apprentice-level professionals who came this time, Sean finally put his heart back in his stomach.

………… Soon, Sean and a group of apprentice-level professionals stepped into the mine under the leadership of a group of veteran miners.

As soon as they entered the ground, the surrounding light immediately dimmed a lot, and the torches and oil lamps that had been embedded in the cave walls had long been extinguished, and the only source of light around them was the oil lamps carried by the miners.

Compared to the huge team, the effect of this light is quite weak, but fortunately, the professionals can observe the surroundings through mental power, and in this way, they can get rid of the dependence on the naked eye.

As the group went deeper and deeper, a cold wind blew from time to time in the gloomy underground, which made the miners walking in front of the team shiver.

"Strange, how did it suddenly get so cold." The miner head muttered slightly. Having worked under the mines for many years, he is very familiar with the underground environment.

Normally, the deeper he goes underground, the higher the temperature around him should be, although he doesn't know what the specific principle is, but years of experience have allowed him to summarize this law a long time ago.

After a whispered discussion with a few miners next to him, the miner leader decided to report the anomaly to the adults behind him.

But before he could speak, he was shocked to find that the professionals were already arguing with each other. Obviously, the silence of the underground environment and the extraordinary hearing of the trainee-level professionals allowed the invited trainee-level professionals to hear the discussion of these miners for the first time.

After discovering that something was wrong around them, people were a little uneasy, originally everyone thought that this was an easy monster hunting mission that could be completed, but they didn't expect such a change to happen now.

"It's certainly not easy to have such an impact on the surrounding environment, but the Hobbs family will definitely not give up so easily, all that is buried under the ground is gold." Ainos said, standing beside Sean.

This expedition was made up entirely of apprentices and miners, and Earl Ian Hobbes himself did not come down himself.

But the Hobbes professionals are not vegetarians either, and they also know that the normal output of the mine is closely related to their future profits, so they will definitely reassure the invitees around them so that their next actions will not be hindered.

"These guys must have known about the anomaly here a long time ago, so I said how to deal with some troublesome monsters and still invite so many people, it seems that they really have ulterior motives." Sean sneered and used his mental power to explore his surroundings.

Whether it was a prophecy spell or any other means of detection, Sean didn't find any danger, which was exactly what he was a little worried about.

Something that can make a trainee class disappearance, the feedback given by the spell is

"There is almost no threat", if it weren't for the fact that having so many apprentice-level professionals huddled might have an impact on the outcome of the prophecy, he would have turned around and walked away.

"Alright, alright, don't worry, no matter whether there is danger in the future, we Hobbes will give you a satisfactory reward, and we will not let you down." Seeing that everyone's dissatisfaction was growing, a professional from the Hobbes family cleared his throat and said to the people around him.
