Legend

Ray was flying in the sky with Seto as he was lit by the moon at night.

The summery night sky only clears the mood a little, even thinking about what you're going to do.

(I often say summer skies are expensive, but when you look at them like this, summer night skies look expensive too. Starry sky on one side)

When Ray was in Japan, he lived in the countryside... and that was right on the side of the mountain too.

More than that, it was natural that the air was clearer than in the city, and if I looked up at the sky, I could actually see the stars better.

... Although it was only natural for Ray, who had always grown up in the country, to see the stars.

I found out the night sky I could see from my own house was beautiful when I heard from relatives working in Tokyo...... or when I saw the view of the night when I was on a school trip?

Either way, the view of the night sky that Ray is currently seeing was overwhelmingly higher than what he saw when he was in Japan.

"Gru?"

What happened to Seto to Ray looking up into the night sky? and honking his throat.

"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about the future."

In exchange for twenty spears, Ray had heard a variety of information from the rebels, including the location of the mine.

The number of spears I gave him was higher than I originally planned, but it was a spear I originally took from a bandit, and I didn't give him money to buy it.

Not to mention the quality of the spear, which is never bad, but not good.

It's really just a very normal spear.

But still, I guess it was a very gratifying substitute for the rebels.

"Oh, I see you."

Ray shrugs when he sees the mountain at the end of his gaze.

That mountain, illuminated by the moonlight, makes it hard to tell from Ray's eyes what a mine is.

The Real Duct also knows that this mine is very important in its own territory, and that's why I'm making it so hard to tell from the surroundings.

When it comes to mines, they often make a fine path to bring out the ore picked there, but as far as Ray can see from the sky, I don't see anything like it under the moonlight.

Of course, a normal path exists, but Ray also has to twist his neck if he asks if it's enough to carry the ore kind.

Most of all, that cover-up meant little to Ray, who was on the flying ceto.

I also understand that Real Duct naturally has someone to fly with.

But flying opponents are only a few, like dragon knights and subpoena magic.

I guess I didn't put that much emphasis on it in terms of cost-effectiveness than that.

"Thanks to that, I was able to find this place quickly, so I don't have any complaints."

With a small grin, Ray gently strokes Seto.

Let's go, Seto.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto descends straight to the ground when he squeaks sharply.

Already, it's time for the date to change.

More than that, no one is in the mine, naturally.

Ray, who just thought that he was a slave in the mine or that he had Real Duct's men, shows how he was just a little poked at the intent.

"Well, you still have an escort,"

Precisely, more like a watch or guard than an escort?

However, it is somewhat exaggerated that instead of being near the mine, there was a place near the road leading to the mine......

"Even if I try to stop it there, it's in these mountains, and if I want to get in, I think I can normally get in. Oh, is it possible that some mountains are being trapped or something?"

And if you raise your voice by the trap, you'll find yourself sneaking in, and you'll be caught.

I decided that was probably the case Ray, but the sky... it wasn't the day sky either, and it was unfortunately impossible for those on guard to find Ray and Seto flying through the night sky and moving.

As a result, Ray arrives at the mine lightly while staying on Ceto.

"Well, I hope I crush this mine after... I don't know what's going on"

Ray shrugs as he descends from Seto's back and sees the mine reinforced with wood to the entrance and exit.

"Gru?"

Look at Ray like that, what happened to Seto? and tinkle down his throat.

"No, I was wondering how we could destroy the mine.... Oh, Seto. Will you check to see if there are any people in the mine for once?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

To the words of such a ray, Seto enters the mine with joy.

I'm not happy to get inside the mine, I'm glad Ray asked me to do the job.

Fortunately, the mine's entrances and exits and passages are quite extensive for carrying large quantities of ore, allowing it to enter the mine without any particular problems in Ceto.

Ray, who drops off Ceto as he joyfully enters the mine, ponders how he can make this mine unusable.

The quickest would still be the magic of the flames.

But there's plenty of potential for a mountain fire if you do worse than the trees are growing around you.

Not to mention that the mine entrance and exit are not just in front of Ray right now.

If there was a part connected from elsewhere, if there was a mountain fire, there was a further risk of widespread damage.

"Because... I knew it would be some other way. So, when it comes to other ways to destroy mines... well, this is the easiest part"

Whimpering, Ray looks at the death size he took out of the mistering.

There is a sickle where you can use a variety of skills.

He's what we should call Ray's partner in a different way than Seto.

A weapon that allows you to acquire that skill by amputating a monster's Demon Stone.

One of the skills thus acquired is topographic manipulation.

This skill was difficult to use when I first remembered it, but now I can imitate raising or lowering the ground within a 50m radius.

With that, you can do whatever you want with the extent of the mine currently in front of Ray.

Ray was so sure.

"I guess there are many other means... I knew it would be terrain manipulation"

At the same time as whining, Seto comes out of the mine.

"Seto, was there anyone in the mine?

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto shakes his neck sideways small.

"Right. Then let's just get rid of this mine. If you waste your time here, you might find out we're here."

There are no people near the mine, but if it's still noisy, those who were guarding away will probably notice themselves.

Ringing his throat as Seto agrees with Ray's words telling him so.

Gently stroking Seto, who has moved next to him, Ray focuses his consciousness on the death size he is gripping.

"All right, let's go. Once this mine collapses, we retreat into the air. And make sure something strange doesn't happen before you leave."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles vigorously.

I should say fortunate for Ray, there are no villages or cities around the mountains where this mine is.

It is a city far from the mountains where there are people working in the mines.

(The rebels told me that they have bunks and regular lodgings, and they don't eat much.... you have a solid idea around it)

It was Ray reviewing the Real Duct just a little bit, but I understand that treating those who work in the mine is not about thinking about those who work in the Real Duct.

Even this mine thing is a secret, so I guess it's from the decision to bring in one person after another who works in the mine, which is also a big risk for the Real Duct.

Sometimes you waste your time remembering your job.

Mine work, at first glance, looks like a simple substitute for digging up ore and carrying it out.

But in fact, it's a simple task, so it's deep and personal skill matters a lot.

If we dispose of those who work in the mines, as a result, those who possess the technology around them will also be disposable, and eventually the benefits of the Real Duct will be less.

I think you're thinking about the situation around here.

For Ray, it was an honest feeling that he didn't care about the area.

If there's no damage to the perimeter from destroying the mine, that's fine.

(Well, I guess it doesn't mean there won't be any damage at all because the mines are gone, so there won't be any work for those who work here)

With that in mind, activate your skills while poking a Death Size Stone Penetration to the ground.

"Terrain manipulation!

With that word, the ground near the entrance to the mine grows about a metre higher.

In words, that was really the only event...... the entrance and exit of the mine, reinforced by trees, could not withstand its intense impact.

The reinforced tree breaks and its impact causes the mine entrance and exit to collapse.

The collapsed impact spreads throughout the mine, and the trees that were reinforcing the passage are also destroyed and fall to the ground.

When several trees break in that way, the mine collapse begins in a chain after that.

Ray quickly retreated on Seto's back to the sky, listening to the roar, which he would undoubtedly notice even as he slept.

Even if the mine collapsed causing a landslide, it would definitely have been safe if it had been in the sky.

Precisely where altitude is low, it can also be that the trees have fallen during a landslide causing them to hit the tip of the tree, or the rocks rolling from a high place to jump and hit it.

However, even if the altitude did not go as high as 100m…, if it went up to about 30m, it would have been safe for the first time only in this case.

"... Well"

A few minutes after the mine collapse, eventually Ray turns his gaze to the ground again.

Fortunately, the mountain has barely collapsed, and the mountain hem... there was no damage to the guards watching to see if anyone would enter the mine without authorization.

Most importantly, the mine suddenly collapsed, which made it seem so confusing and moving around that it could be seen from above.

For Ray, all I have left is the thought that it must have been good because he didn't die for now.

The mines suddenly collapsed while the guards were protecting them.

It could definitely have been a liability issue as it was...

"For a while, you don't have to think about what's going on around here."

"Gru?"

To Ray whining, are you still here? and Seto rings his throat.

The sight of the mine collapsing and the mountain collapsing as chained to it was also unusual for Seto.

But still, I'm eventually getting tired of just looking at this place forever.

Ray opens his mouth as he strokes such a ceto.

"Right. Do you want to do the next thing you need to do over here before this thing reaches Real Duct? They'll be waiting for us over there."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Seto snarls happily at Ray's words, moving his wings from where they are now.

"In the meantime, Viscount Gail asked me to do this. Then it's finally real next time.... I'd like to get it done in a few days if I can... Do you think I can work hard?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

I'm still fine! and Ceto shown with attitude.

To what Ceto looks like, Ray strokes the back of his neck with a grin.

"All right, I'll go while you're well"

When Ray says so, Seto flies away with his back to the collapsed mine.

Leaving from the mine for a while, where Ray and the rebel facades bumped into each other… more precisely, should we say where the rebels were ravaged by Ray and Seto?

Either way, we arrive at the place.

"Ha, that was fast. Huh? So this is how you came back, you've already crushed the mine?

Faces of the rebels are surprised to see Ray and Seto, and a man of leadership - the first person to be blown away by Ray when ravaged by Ray - asks as he opens his eyes wide.

Some members of the rebels were training using spears provided by Ray, but this one was still stopping the move when they saw Ray and Seto return.

"Oh. Well, saying mine wasn't that big a substitute.... to keep information from flowing through Viscount Gail's neighborhood."

"For once, I ask, the harm is done to the guy who works..."

"You're not getting out. I guess I didn't work this hour. The guards weren't on the side of the mine either... no one died from the impact of the mine collapse. If there was a guy in the mountains, I don't know."

All those who were listening to Ray exhale in relief at the word that there was no dead man out of his mouth.

"So what do we do about attacking Count Lerduct's mansion?

That's how Ray asks the reassuring rebels.
