Chapter 12 A New Storm Has Appeared

Using magic to dig tunnels through the towering and steep mountains, eliminating the hassle of using winding and dangerous mountain paths, is a great example of humanity's ability to transform nature and show its wisdom. However, although the distance can be reduced to the maximum extent to increase convenience, the tunnel can be much more difficult to construct than a mountain road compared to a normal road.

First of all, it is necessary to rely on the precise magic manipulation skills of the magician, if the output is small, it is difficult to smash the mountain, and if the output is too large, it is easy to lead to the collapse of the tunnel. Working in a dark tunnel is a dangerous job, injuries are a trivial matter, and the number of workers who die in tunnel construction every year due to various accidents in the pan-continent is as high as thousands, and this is still a casualty under the condition of technological maturity. Even if the tunnel is built, it does not mean that it can be used, and the relatively short culvert is enough, but the tunnel through a huge mountain like the Yangyan Mountains is often thousands or even thousands of meters long, and in the center of the tunnel, the air will become extremely turbid due to the lack of exchange, and may even lead to coma or even suffocation due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, whether it is a physical method or a method of replacing the magic guide, the tunnel must be equipped with multi-hand ventilation equipment and design to ensure its safety.

These things should have been taken for granted, but Nagi found that the tunnel he was leading to Guò was not equipped with any ventilation equipment on the way he came, and it was not blocked or damaged because of disrepair, whether it was an ordinary vent or a magic guide, Nagi had never seen one, but simply sealed the excavated tunnel wall with bluestone bricks, and the design was so simple and crude that there was no convex groove for torch lighting.

"Who the hell repaired this unreliable thing......"

It's no wonder that no traveling merchant ever travels overland to the Fuyuki Peninsula, and if he rides Louise's thousand-mile-tall black horse alone, he might be able to get through the thousands of meters of tunnels in Guò very quickly. But if the traveling merchants had used their decrepit travelers to pull a cartload full of goods through Guò slowly, they would surely have died halfway through.

Even if it is said that it is a military service, only cavalry can pass through Guò, not to mention who needs to send troops to attack the uncivilized land of zero strategic significance such as the Fuyuki Peninsula?

I really can't figure out for what purpose the builders of this tunnel spent a lot of money to build such a useless building of unknown significance, Nagi looked at Louise, who was breathing more and more tightly in his arms, sighed silently, and gently tugged on the reins, signaling the black horse under his crotch to gallop again.

All in all, let's get out of here first.

Figuring out the strangeness of this tunnel, Nagi's heart became even more worried, if it was just a problem of no ventilation, there should be no threat to himself, but why did the black horse at the mouth of the tunnel just now have such a big reaction? I heard Louise mention that this black horse used to be his father's mount, a high-grade war horse imported from the Teutonic Federation. It is a heroic war horse that can launch a counter-charge without hesitation even in the face of the Ottoman's war elephant charge, and if it is just because it feels that the air in the tunnel is relatively poor, it should not be so fearful.

"Sure enough, there are other problems. ”

Reining in the black horse that was sprinting forward quickly, Nagi's right hand snapped again, lighting a thin flame on the tip of his index finger, and the small flame that should have been burning for a long time under the power of magic quickly dimmed in an instant, and finally extinguished in Nagi's hand with a bang.

"This tunnel is too long, isn't it faint!"

The air has become thinner and thinner, Louise has been in a coma because of breathlessness, even the black horse under the crotch is panting, strenuous exercise requires a lot of oxygen, even as a war horse's strong physique allows it to maintain a steady momentum, but this is to exhaust his body to overdraw.

Nagi roughly estimated that the distance he had just run was still almost the width of a half-sun flame mountain range, but the exit still didn't even show its head, if it weren't for the bad taste of the tunnel builder who cleverly built this tunnel that looked like it should be straight into a serpentine shape with a large arc, someone must be doing something here!

"Who's it! Get out of here!"

Was it an arcane hallucination?, however, Nagi was completely unaware of any fluctuations in mana, but it was certain that someone in the tunnel was plotting against him. Nagi raised his right hand like a tornado, gathered all the magic around him like a tornado, and then pointed to the top of the tunnel and shouted.

Since the enemy is also in this tunnel, if the tunnel is directly collapsed, the opponent will not be spared, and Nagi can move to another safe place with Louise and the dark horse Tongguò spatial magic the moment the attack is released.

"Ahh ”

The space around him was strangely distorted and disintegrated, and with a burst of dazzling light, Nagi who squinted his eyes was surprised to find that he was actually standing at the exit of the tunnel at the moment, and as long as he took a step forward, he could leave this strange tunnel and arrive at his destination, the Fuyuki Peninsula. The right hand that gathered the magic slowly moved down, and Nagi locked on the bearded man in front of him, who was smiling bitterly at him.

"Who are you?"

Nagi carefully looked at the sturdy man in leather armor in front of him, as if he had come out of an ancient Greek statue, his body was full of coordinated beauty, and his black curls were pale gold and unkempt like a chicken nest on his head, as if he had not taken care of it for a long time, although the age difference was very large, but this guy gave Nagi a deep sense of immediacy, making her wonder if this was Caesar's long-lost biological father.

"It's foolish to tell your real name in the battle between the Immortals, young lady. ”

While Nagi was looking at the other party, the bearded man was also observing Nagi who was using the amber body, due to the urgency of coming out, so Nagi's body was still wearing the black and white maid outfit, and compared to her clothes, what made the man more puzzled was that Nagi's body could not see the slightest bit of heroic temperament, compared to those colleagues he had seen, this guy was simply an ordinary girl who had practiced a little martial arts! However, the more he can't see through the other party's true face, the more vigilant the man becomes, there is no way to become a maid in this world, and he feels that Nagi's body must have some secrets.

"Heroic spirit, fighting?"

Nagi was dumbfounded for a moment, wasn't Alayya's order to destroy the golden apple? Shouldn't the Heroic Spirits help each other in that way? Why do they have to kill each other? Could it be that the fact that this parallel Heroic Spirit is preparing to rebel has already been known by Alayya?

"Ming people don't say secret words, everyone is here to get the holy fruit that can flash a wish, you pretend to be innocent in front of Miss Ben or too young, you little girl!"

From behind the bearded man, a blonde girl with a big blue bow tied behind her head turned out with elegant steps, wearing an elegant blue and white dress, she had a pair of pitiful big eyes, and her white skin was spotless, giving people the feeling of a long-time lady who had lived in the boudoir. She blinked, as if observing Nagi and Louise, then she lowered her head, put her hand on her waist, and when she looked up again, she seemed to be a different person, from a dignified lady to a hooligan thug in an instant, and shouted at Nagi!

"Anthea!?"

However, Nagi was immediately dumbfounded when she saw this girl who was grinning at her like a thug who wanted protection money, because this was none other than the thief Miss Ancia who had pit herself several times at the Sacred Fire Festival!
