Magi Craft Meister

I was able to get rid of the stones in a short time because I was a more powerful Northerner than the humans on the Lauren continent.

There was a tunnel entrance that was covered with a rusted iron plate.

Naturally, the party tried to get the lid off.

Oh, this is the entrance to the old mine after all.

"I'd like to check inside... but it's going to be acid deficient."... can you ask for Momoko? "

Naturally, this is where [Peach] comes in.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

It's unlikely that there will be any dangerous creatures because it's been locked down for too long.

Instead, it is likely that combustible gases and gases that are harmful to the human body are accumulated.

That's why Momoko lit the magic light "Lights" and started investigating the old mine.

The only way to turn on the "light" is to be able to better check the details.

Because infrared alone will cause an overlook.

Master Rhodotus, the interior is relatively well-equipped.

Momoko reports on the built-in magic communicator (manacum).

I see. We're going to be careful.

Yes.

And Peaches proceeded with caution.

It is not as solid as a tunnel that has been in existence for more than 700 years.

The magic that had the same effect as the [Tough] was still working.

A testament to the steadfastness of the workers of the time.

Momoko slowly descended a pit that stretched diagonally downward.

"Geology is no longer limestone."

A report from Momoko.

Has it been degenerated by geothermal heat?

Maybe so.The temperature in the tunnel is about 5 degrees Celsius. "

"Be careful."

Yes.

A collection of "skull minerals" formed by limestone reacting with the components of magma, such as calcium and silicon, is called "skull", and unique minerals can be extracted.

On Earth, they include "Ashpan Pomegranate", "Ash Iron Pomegranate", "Ash Iron Luminous Stone", and "Bessbu Stone".

And here in Als...

I found a fine fragment of a magic crystal

It looked like the Magic Crystal had been mined.

What is a size attribute?

Yes, Lord Rhodotus. The maximum length is about 2 millimeters, and the color is milky white, so it seems to be all attributes. "

"All right, go a little further."

Yes.

Momoko went further into the depths.

The next thing I found... "

Lord Rhodotus, I found fragments of pyrite, lead, zinc and brass ore.

"I see. Take it back and go further."

Yes.

Pyrite is a compound of sulfur and iron, lead is a compound of sulfur and lead, zinc is a compound of sulfur and zinc, and brass is a compound of sulfur and copper.

Both occur in the Skulln deposits.

Apparently, it's definitely a mine trail.

According to Rhodotus, the engineer Archista of the "Gospel" was also in favor.

What about the composition of the air?

'Yes, there is little oxygen.On top of that, it contains about 1 percent methane and ethane. ”

I see.

Both methane and ethane are flammable gases.However, if there is no oxygen, it can be said that there is almost no concern of ignition.

Then, the mine, which had been the main road until now, became a place divided into three parts.

It's about four and a half tatami mats, and there are three destinations.

Straight, diagonal right, diagonal left.

Since all three were similar pits, Peach turned to Rhodothos for judgment.

What should we do, Lord Rhodotus?

Yeah, go straight ahead.

Okay.

With Peach's memory and ability to grasp space, it's impossible to get lost in such an abandoned pit.

As Rhodotus instructed, Momoko went down the road in the middle.

The gently descending road was almost leveled about thirty meters.And it's still a long way off.

This time it was a little uphill, but the peaches kept going.

It seems that he had walked two kilometers already, but there was still a tunnel going on.

But no matter how long the mine is, it's over.

At the end of a gentle ascent.

There was a rusted iron lid.

Lord Rhodotus, we're at a dead end.

Yeah, how does it feel?

"Yes, there is an iron lid like the one at the entrance."Perhaps this is the other exit to the ground. "

"What!?"

The exit of the tunnel is not necessarily one, so this tunnel was connected to another entrance.

Would it be easy to open from the inside?

I'll try.

Momoko released the restrained power and tried to push the iron lid.

There is a rattling sound outside.

As I kept applying force, the lid began to shift slightly.At the same time, the response is getting lighter.

At last, the iron lid fell outside, and the sunlight poured into the pit.

Lord Rhodotus, the lid is open.

"It was very mild." I heard sounds from here, too.Stay there for now. "

Yes.

While Momoko was waiting, Kondaku and Zedais from "Morira (Shinra)" came in about three minutes.

"Oh, there was another entrance and exit here."

Kondak, do you want to install an iron grate for now?

That's right, let's do it quickly.

The two came to take measures to prevent them from becoming nests for wild animals and demon beasts.

Reinstall the iron lid by deforming it into an iron lattice with engineering magic.

Since Kondak is the grandson of Malikka, he is good at these kinds of processing, and Zedais is the engineer who participated in the "Malikka Cup" previously held in Toka Village.

The two of them proceeded quickly, and in about five minutes, a sturdy iron grate was inserted into the entrance.

It was a rocky building of almost the same type as the one where Rhodotus and the others were located.

“That's it. If it works, the air in the tunnel could be replaced.”

"Momoko-san, we're going back now."You should go back to your turn. "

Got it.

Kondak and Zedais walked back the way they came.

Momoko was back in the tunnel again.

Then you arrive at a small hall with a branch.I contacted Rhodotus using the built-in magic communicator (Manacam).

Master Rhodotus, I'm back at my turn.Where are you going?

"Well, then, look from our side and go to the right."

Yes.

This time, Peach went to the pit on the right.

At first it was a gentle descent, but gradually the slope became tighter, and finally it became a steep slope of about 30 degrees.

The ground was quite rough and uneven, so it didn't slip.

By the time it was about 100 meters underground, the slope was finally gentle.

Then a rusted steel door appeared.
