I was just curious about Lodi's strength, and the fact that he looked like an old swordsman as the mayor of the Dark Forest was really different from the image of the mayor in my heart.

However, Lodi suddenly had a conversation with me, which made me somewhat overwhelmed for a while.

Then I came back to him and said, "Ah... No, compared to me, it is the mayor of the town that you are still radiant at such an age, although your face is tired, but it has not diminished the light in your eyes at all, and then the strange shape of the king's upper-level long sword in your hand and the strong earth attribute fluctuations you hide, you are definitely a strong swordsman. ”

When I finished speaking, Lodi looked at me and said, "As Mary said, you are so young and have such delicate insight, it seems that I am really old." ”

I smiled at Lodi and said, "Why, I don't know how many times better your body is than those young swordsmen. ”

Lodi smiled heartily, straightened his gray hair, and said with a smile: "You young man is really interesting, after calming down here, let's go to compare swords, it's really difficult to find a decent swordsman in the Western Expedition." ”

I looked at Lodi and smiled, "Okay, I'll be with you to the end when the time comes." ”

As I was talking to Mayor Lodi.

Alust behind me walked out and asked Mary next to Lodi: "Miss Mary, what happened in this crystal energy cave, when we rushed here, there seems to be a huge earthquake here, such a terrifying earthquake does not seem to be a natural imagination, but caused by a certain force in the crystal energy cave, right?"

Mary nodded and said, "Yes, I once mentioned to you that before I went to participate in the Space Law Contest held by the Eastern Crusade, there were some strange vibrations and roars in the crystal energy mine, and there were also miners who went deep into the mine and disappeared without a trace, but in this huge underground labyrinth-like mine, even if the protective measures are good.

There will also be some injured or lost miners every season, and the vibration was weak at that time, we didn't care, but with the passage of time later, coupled with the fact that we were in the anti-world of the forgotten place in the Space Law Competition, because of the time rift, after such a long period of time, the vibration and disappearance of people here became out of control, from the beginning did not affect the mining operation too much, to the later miners did not dare to go deep into it to collect high-grade spars, until now even the ordinary grade ore near the entrance of the cave has been difficult to collect。 ”

Reiner turned to Mary and asked, "What is the reason, is there an answer now?"

Mary shook her head in distress and said: "There are various cracks in the mine that have continued to appear over time, and at the same time, there are always unknown demonic beasts attacking the miners from underground, and there are a large number of intermediate and high-level mixed earth-attribute demonic beasts that appear out of thin air, and now they can only barely guard the entrance of the cave to prevent the demonic beasts in it from pouring out and harming the children and women in the village." ”

Teaka also understood the seriousness of the situation from Mary's words, and said to Mary: "Sister Mary, why didn't Uncle Lodi ask for help from the nearby Western Expeditionary Army?"

Mary sighed lightly and said: "If it is peacetime, it will be easy to do, now the Western Expedition is facing such a dilemma, to resist the attack of the Eastern Expedition and the Eucharistic Coalition at the same time, my father decided to go to the mine with the two of us to explore after I returned, and let the rest of the villagers use crystal breaking explosives and other items to block the outpouring of demonic beasts, originally my father and I planned to do so.

But I found that a one-way barrier suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mine, and the monsters could pour out from it, but we couldn't enter, and my father was sending someone to contact the Magister who was proficient in breaking the barrier, and the people sent by the Hotaru from the first half of the time, there has been no news of the return yet, so my father and I decided to stay here first to prevent a large-scale warball from pouring out and harming the residents of the town. ”

Liuli looked at the entrance of the crystal energy cave, held her chin with her index finger and bowed her head and pondered: "Such an unusual and strange event, Miss Mary, have you considered the 'relics'?"

After the glass was exported, everyone was shocked.

Alust clenched his right hand into a fist and struck his left palm and said, "Yes, maybe it's the reason for the relic." ”

Mary nodded and said, " To cause such a scale of mutation, I'm afraid there is only the power of relics, even so, but the crystal energy mine has been rich in high-quality spars for a hundred years, in such a long time, no trace of relics has ever been found in the cave, and I perceive the energy fluctuations in the crystal energy mine, it seems that there is something that cannot be perceived at all, wandering around in the mine, every time it moves, it will emit a shock wave of energy with earth attributes, which causes the vibration near the crystal energy mine in Dark Forest Town, aren't the ancient relics all dead things, why do they move like this, many things make me puzzled。 ”

After listening to what Mary said, Liuli frowned lightly and whispered, "Miss Mary, you are right, there are no strangers or strange people who have acted strangely here since the beginning of the abnormal change. ”

Mary shook her head and said, "I haven't found any suspicious outsiders coming here, and the location of Darkforest Town is quite remote, and there are only crystal energy caves and those alien plants that are unique to the circulation of the leylines, and there are no other characteristics. In addition, many miners from Darkforest Town will alternate in it every day, sometimes for a firefly season, so if an outsider comes to Darkforest Town, or enters the Crystal Energy Mine, they will definitely be discovered. ”

After Mary finished speaking, Liuli frowned and said: "That's really strange, it makes sense if an outsider holds a relic in the crystal energy mine to cause a mutation of this scale, but after listening to Miss Mary, it seems that the crystal energy cave has become like this by itself, which is really too unusual." ”

Reiner poked his hand and said, "I'll just say... As long as you follow Sartre, endless strange events will definitely happen. ”

At this time, Tyaka looked at Reiner with a pretty face and said, "What you said always feels like you treat my brother Sutter like a broom star." ”

Reiner hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How come, I didn't mean that, I mean that as long as I am with Sartre, there will always be some strange things that make people want to explore." ”

After listening to Reiner's explanation, Teyaka smiled at him and said, "It's pretty much the same. ”

Then Reiner was left alone and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, everyone only felt another tremor under their feet, and cracks appeared in the ground with uneven layers, and at the same time, several terrifying screams came from the enchantment of the Crystal Energy Cave......
