Gold coin is justice

Chapter 18 Under the Mine

Early the next morning, the bonfire went out, and the air was still slightly cold.

The temperature begins to drop rapidly after the fall, and there is even a bit of chill when you wake up in the morning.

After breakfast, pack the equipment in hand.Just when Airo wanted to pick up his backpack, Cream only took two daggers, took some food with him, and was ready to go.And the two people in the city are the same, putting things like tents and sleeping bags here, and don't plan to bring them in.

"Don't you bring equipment?"

Regarding Ai Luo's question, Cream only sneered, but did not respond.

Ai Luo thought for a while, and turned his head to look at Brad and Coco, who had already carried something on their back.

"Well... let's put the equipment here, too."

Brad and Coco responded, and they also played lightly.

With a stab, Airo, Cream and two people in the city, a total of four torches were lit.Before entering the cave, Cream took out a small birdcage from the package and handed it to Brad.

Brad looked at the birdcage, then turned to look at Airo.

"What do you look at? You little fish guild sees the predator a little frustrated, isn't it?"

Cream's mouth is still so tricky.

Ai Luo pursed his lips, and finally nodded to Brad, asking him to pin the bird cage to his waist.

Prepared, a group of people finally walked towards the mine.Brad and Cream are at the forefront, followed by Airo and Coco, followed by two people from the city, and the undead soldiers are walking behind the last face of the team.

————

Slap-slap-slap-

The mine is deep.

The sound of footsteps traveled back and forth in this narrow mine, turning into a series of low neighs.

This mine that has been abandoned for hundreds of years does not know how long it has been shrouded in darkness. With the light of the torch flashing, it seems that some darkness can always be seen to be dispersed by the light, but after the torch leaves, it is quickly filled as if there is life. Those spaces that have lost their light.

Brad walked in front, holding the hammer in one hand and the torch in the other, moving forward cautiously.But no matter how careful he is, the cream on the side always seems to stop him at some point and allow him to take a step after a probe.

Ai Luo held the torch and stretched out his hand to hold Cocoa.

This little magician is now shrinking his neck, as if he is worried about awakening something, and walks slowly.

Fork in the road.

It's a fork in the road again.

Ai Luo can't remember exactly which side road he saw when he came in.

The only thing he knew was that every time he reached a fork in the road, the whole team had to stop and mark it before moving on.

The mine is constantly going down, and the route is getting narrower and narrower. In some places, you must bend over to walk through.

In addition to the harder and harder road, there are also higher and higher temperatures.

Obviously, it didn't take much effort, but when Ai Luo recovered, his back was already wet with sweat.

However, this pothole seems to never end, and I don’t know where its deepest point extends...

At this time, the two people walking in the front stopped again.

But just when Airo took out a pen and paper to record the map, he found that the two people did not mark the road as they did before.

"what happened?"

Somehow, Ai Luo lowered his voice unconsciously and asked softly.

But when his own voice was vented, it seemed to be drawn by some kind of force. This question was beaten back and forth in the cave, and the echo from it could not be subdued for a long time.

The cream in front turned his head, with a slightly uncomfortable smile on his face, and pointed to the front.

Airo glanced at him, over his shoulder.

Ahead is already a dead end.

But on the wall of this dead end, there are some very uncomfortable things left-

Text.

The reason these words are very uncomfortable is because they weren't written with anything, more like they were scratched out on this hard rock with human nails.

Some dark stains were stained on these words, and I don’t know if it was the blood left by something when writing these words...

"President, what's written on this...?"

Brad instinctively raised the hammer and asked.

Ai Luo swallowed, and said: "This is an ancient text, I have seen it in history books. The current text is born out of these ancient text... But some know, some don't know..."

"'Please forgive me'."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

Ai Luo turned around and saw that the tall cityman was studying the words, nodded again, and said: "Yes, it's'Please forgive me'. I have studied history and recognized some of these things."

Cream exhaled and said with a smile: "It seems that this is a poor little boy who wants to be forgiven by the girl, who has carved such boring words here."

Suddenly, Airo felt that this guy might still have some good points, and knew he should make some funny jokes at this time?

The crowd did not speak, and re-adjusted the formation and retreated.Before leaving this dead end, Airo turned his head again. In his eyes, the words that were carved out by what he didn’t know appeared in the fire, and accompanied by the light, they went away again, and re-entered the darkness. in.

Go back to the previous fork and choose another road to continue walking.

As the road goes deeper and deeper, the burning sensation in the air becomes deeper and deeper.

Looking at the beams supporting these mines, Airo suddenly felt something was wrong.

Originally to support the mine, wooden beams should also be constructed with the best force-bearing structure.

However, looking at the wooden beams that are being erected here now, it gives people a kind of random construction. They don’t even consider the area of ​​force to be placed in a random manner. Under normal circumstances, if the supervisors here see the wooden beams being placed in such a disorder, they will definitely fury!But now it looks...

It's almost like there is something in the depths of this mine...the people who are digging the mine are attracted to dig inward frantically regardless of their lives...

"stop!"

Brad's voice was already loud, but when he shouted out of this narrow cave, it seemed even more harsh.

He turned his head, his face was full of sweat.But the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if... smiling?

"...Brad, what's the matter?"

Ai Luo asked cautiously.

The corner of Brad's mouth smiled again, and he shook his head: "I'm okay, it's just a bit hot. Just drink some water. It's just there..."

He raised his finger to the wall.And some words appeared on it like nails.

"'Excuse me'...this sentence again?"

The tall city man couldn't help but touch the sweat on his forehead, muttering softly.

The short city man on the side became a little nervous. He tugged on the taller armor and said, "Hey...this mine...doesn't really have any problems, right? I...I have felt that... …It seems like something is looking at me... It’s uncomfortable!"

A tall city man: "Don't be squeaky and crooked. From the beginning until now, we haven't even seen a beast. Where can anything stare at us?"

Ai Luo said softly: "Don't say so much, go ahead."

Moving on, the mine continued to maintain its seemingly endless appearance.

However, the text on the wall began to grow with the echo of footsteps.

and……

It's not just that sentence.

"'Please forgive me.'"

"'I want.'"

"'Coming.'"

"'I will be saved.'"

With more and more words, sentence patterns have become more and more complicated.

At the beginning, the tall city people were able to explain, but as the words on both sides became more and more chaotic, even the tall city people couldn't recognize what was written here.

Airo's steps lifted up and put them down gently...

But as he walked down a step, his gaze caught Brad's waist inadvertently.

There is a bird cage hanging there.

And not long ago, the little bird that was still very active in it now fell on the bottom of the birdcage, with messy feathers, looking like it was dead?!

"Stop!"

Ai Luo quickly stretched out his hand to pull Brad, who was still walking forward, but Brad's strength was so great that even with a flick of his arm, he broke free of Ai Luo's hand and continued to move forward?

"Brad!"

Buffy flew out of Brad's pocket, she called her partner's name, and filled his nose with fragrance.

Suddenly, the too strong fragrance made Brad's footsteps stagger, he was stunned in place as if he had just woke up from a dream, looking at Buffy blankly.

"How are you?"

In just a few days of language learning, Buffy can only speak some of the simplest languages.But this is enough for her to express her nervousness now.

After a while, Brad finally recovered. He nodded lightly and rubbed his nose: "I... I seem to have a dream? I feel light and fluttering..."

Airo leaned over to Brad and looked at the birdcage.Yes, the bird inside is indeed dead.But it didn't look like poisonous gas. After all, there was nothing strange in this group except Brad.

"It feels like a death spell..."

Coco hugged the twig, swallowed, and murmured.

The short city man seemed more nervous, his footsteps involuntarily stepped back half a step: "Is death...that is death magic? Who...who knows death magic?! Necromancer...you...you necromancer ……Necromancer……!"

"Don't talk nonsense, which necromancer is fine to kill the bird who leads the way? This bird was killed by heat, right."

Cream snorted, reached out his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, and came over to put Brad's shoulders: "Brother you too, too hot and lack of water, so the brain is abnormal. I heard that the Long Sleeping Mountains used to be a mountain The active volcano is now dormant, but the high temperature here is understandable. So many crazy-looking texts here should be caused by the previous miners who did not replenish water in time, and finally appeared hallucinating."

Originally, Airo didn't want to say that it was written by the miner, because the miner used his fingers to leave these scratches on the hard wall, which can't be explained by normal overheating and lack of water.

But since Cream said so, Airo could only say along the way: "I also think that the temperature here is too high. It seems that it is not the best time to explore, and it should be winter... "

"No way."

The tall cityman shook his head and said with a very tough attitude——

"We don't have time to wait until winter, no matter what, we must receive certain results today. We will continue to go."

Ai Luo: "Go down? The bird that can lead the way is already..."

"Drink plenty of water and save energy. We are different from those miners, we are ready to come."

The tall city man took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and drank it, and a layer of water mist slowly surfaced around him, and the city man immediately showed a cool expression.

So, what a valuable and convenient alchemy potion is!After this task is completed, we must let this little girl learn to read and write as soon as possible, and then give me alchemy!

Coco didn't understand why her president suddenly looked at herself with a bit of resentment, which made her feel a little hairy.

The short city man also drank a bottle, in that case, Airo could only agree to move on.

"Everyone pay attention to add water."

Ai Luo gave an order, raised his head and looked at the messy text on the wall, gritted his teeth, and directed the team forward.

just……

Go a little further inside and the text disappears.

It may not be accurate to say that. A more accurate statement is that those nicks have become the purest nicks.

There is no text, no logic, or even any kind of system.

Just use human fingers to draw meaningless patterns on the stone wall.Sometimes it can be seen that it is the sun, the village, and the human in the pattern.

But more often, nothing appears in those patterns, only occasionally...very occasionally, it seems that some very strange bodies can be seen in the messy patterns...

The temperature began to drop.

The water mist surrounding the two people in the city also gradually disappeared because of the past.

The pattern on the wall finally disappeared completely. The more you walk, the more comfortable temperature you can feel.

It's just that this comfortable temperature didn't last long. Soon, a damp but smelly smell of excrement and urine gradually spread from the depths of the mine.
