Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Episode 1541: Message from Earth - The Ground Vessel -

Kite had come to Cave III in a certain mountain in the eastern part of McDawell territory in search of the 'space-time stone' that would be necessary for the development of the communications aircraft. He first heard more about the status of the base than his own men defending "Cave III," and assigned it to the ranks starting tomorrow that day when he arrived to make some further arrangements. So, the day after we arrived. Kate was under Sieve's guidance again.

"As I mentioned yesterday, this will be the entrance to Cave III."

"Hmmm... you still feel the pressure of magic because it leads to the ground pulse"

"Yes... you'll be stronger if you go deeper."

Sieve nodded at Kate's words, walking Lantern into 'Cave III' with one hand. In accordance with that, Kite will move on as well. Basically no light source is installed inside the cave. Because there is a risk of ignition in the unlikely event of an overflow of magic.

And I don't use pine lights that need to be replaced frequently even though no one enters the boulder. So it was an entry with a lantern adjusted to very low output. And there were times when it was low output to boulders, and I also had kite for this. That's why the cave I entered quickly dimmed and quickly became a state of darkness an inch away if I realized it.

"Please don't fall off. It's hard to get out of here."

"Yes."

For once, both Kate and Yuri have stepped in about "Cave III," but still not sure if they remember the path perfectly. Getting away from the guide was not a good idea.

"... Hmm"

As she walks behind Sheave, Kate observes the cave walls just a little bit. Although not much magic can be used everywhere, it has been repaired to make it easier to walk, but it is still a cave that remains natural. The basics were shaped to go through the rock skin.

but such a cave but basically rocky skin was slippery and I didn't see much of a risk of collapse. and Sheave inquired to Kite, who was looking intrigued at a sight that he didn't think was naturally made in such a way.

"Do you care?

"Yeah, yeah, well... this cave just has railings and scaffolding where you can't go where you saw it, and it doesn't look like people got their hands on it. Yet I wonder if I will have beautiful rock skin so far..."

"That's the real question."

In response to Kate's raised discomfort, Sieve touches her rock skin just a little bit. I tried touching the rock skin to match it, but the rock skin was still smooth, not so much slippery, but smooth was felt.

"Fortunately, it's almost windless now, but from time to time the wind of magic blows from here. Slowly, but slowly, the rock skin is shredded."

"I see..."

It is a wind of magic, so at first glance it does not seem to move things, but it is possible to move things if the concentration is so thick that only the release of magic can blow people away. You'll hear a lot about the rock formations blowing up with the outbursts of ground veins.

In view of the fact that this place leads into the ground vein, the wind blowing from here will sometimes be high. After many years, it seemed possible to cause enough such weathering.

Note that for once, Kate has a good grasp of this story. but I'm still here with my first body. Therefore, he disguised himself as an unknown wind. Fortunately, it's so dim. I didn't get the slightest look.

"So if you look at the rock skin, you're going to know the right route."

"... that's sharp. Yes, if this rocky skin follows a smooth path, we can reach the exit."

Sieve opened her eyes slightly to Kate's words. This was something that the base crew could teach, and at the same time it was one of the things that would never be revealed. In the unlikely event of straying, the crew were told to rely on rock skin to escape. It's a cave without a map. He relied on a little information to learn the way. They're probably more insightful than the bad rangers.

"Never talk about that outside, do you? Because when someone thinks about something that's not good in this cave, they dive..."

"I know, sir"

I'm the lord in the first place. Kate walks away with a slight bitter smile as she listens to Sieve. That's about an hour's walk. I got to where I opened just a little bit.

"This place..."

"It's a relay point. It's slightly open, so we'll take a break here."

When Sieve says so, he oils the lanterns that were installed - objects that use oil, not magic props - and lights the fire. Then I could see what this place was like.

Apparently, he has a simple bench or desk that allows him to rest a little. That's why Kite, sitting on one of the chairs, asked Sheave to do some sort of putting on the list she was bringing in - a study report on the state of the equipment.

"Approximately how long is it here?

"The overall itinerary is half, right? As far as distance is concerned, we have about a quarter left. Some people get really sick when the ground pulse approaches... so we're going to get some rest and go slowly."

When Kate returned to Enefia, he had taken consciousness away by releasing overwhelming magic against the Al's. Just like that, high concentrations of magic can sometimes be poisonous.

Moreover, the magic of the earth's veins is a much higher concentration of magic flow than any adventurer. The magic concentration that Kate unleashed on the play at that time is an area that cannot be compared.

If you're still in Quong or Aisha et al., they still have some tough stuff if you don't get a little tempered even with the adventurers of the coarse rank S. Therefore, I decided to firmly improve my physical condition and magic once here and try the last difficulty. This was not only for those who entered here with permission, but also for guidance from Sieves. So it seems the rule to pinch a break here once.

"Thirty minutes later, I'm leaving here. If you need to wash your hands, go over there. There's a simple hand wash."

"Okay."

Nothing. If it's Kate and Yuri, there's nothing wrong with going on like this - naturally more than okay to fall into a vein - but Sieve is a regular military man, no matter how accustomed he is.

It's the kites who have trouble making her impotent. If so, it would be fortunate to rest here. That's why Kate decided to take a break for a while at the brief rest stop.

Thirty minutes after the kites reached the brief berth. After a brief rest stop, they began to cave again. and that's how a little while back when I started going, the wind came from the back of the cave containing a high concentration of magic.

"Huh... are you okay?

"Yep... because they originally said so they were rolling out barriers. And you?"

"I'm used to it."

In response to Kite's inquiry, Sieve nodded with a slight glance. I'm used to it, but it's still not the same story because I'm used to it and my body isn't burdened with it. I suppose it is because I have a slight chills.

"Hmmm...... but this is the first time anyone can handle it so far without protective clothing. Is this really your first time?

"Yeah, well... Yeah, but I'm in a collapse once in a cave in 'Portland Emelia', so I'm learning to deal with similarities there. I applied it."

"Oh, speaking of..."

Seeve and that's unlikely in Kite's response, he thought. The nest hole of "Eat the World and Serpent (Yormungard)" is often full of basic, rather high concentrations of magic. A demon who sleeps hundreds of years does not take any nourishment during that time. Nevertheless, no matter how many demons you have, you just die without energy intake, more than you have properties close to living things. Therefore, I live by consuming the magic of my surroundings.

Therefore, it was quite possible that a giant and mighty demonic nest such as "Eat the World and the Serpent (Yormungard)" would be as dense as the magic of this place.

In fact, according to an investigation carried out by the Imperial Investigation Team after the departure of the World Eating Serpent (Yormungard), it was filled with as much magic as it was here.

Note that I naturally know that Kate is lying about this - because it was just before I woke up - and if I think about it calmly a little, I can tell it's a lie. but it was a possible story, so Sieve didn't seem to notice.

"Ever, you can't even stop your legs on this very spot much. Let's move on."

Convinced of Kite's response, Sheave waves one head and gets back on his mind, and starts walking again. That's about forty minutes to keep walking the same way as you do now. A few lights lit up together from the direction of travel.

"You see it. Proceed towards that light and you will enter the earth's vein."

"Hmm..."

Kate listens to Sieve and drops her gaze on the mechanical watch she was bringing from Earth once. Approximately two hours and a little over a break on the road to this point. It would be four and a half hours round trip.

No matter how close the pulse is to the surface, it is nevertheless never a quick distance to reach. Probably a few hundred meters underground. There were some bad scaffolding places, so I could say it was a reasonable time.

"Considering your return, should you complete the investigation at 14: 00 or 15: 00"

"Right. Nothing on the way home, not necessarily. I also need help getting home. So I hear that the majority of people have completed their investigation to that extent."

"Okay."

"Yes...... then you will see the resting point if you proceed a little further. If you eat lunch, you will be there."

Sieve, who nodded at Kate's response, walks out again. That was how in a few minutes we reached a river of bright light. Where do you come from and go? There was a huge stream there, too, I don't know.

That looks like a river of light at first glance, but it's all magic, not water, that's flowing. This is where it was. I don't see the depth of the pulse, but it looks pretty deep. And it is no exaggeration to say that the flow of the ground vein is also torrent. Furthermore, all the surrounding rock walls are glowing and look like jewels. Magic solidified and became a magic stone.

"Huh..."

"It's the light of magic. Use sunglasses if you need them."

Sieve presents her sunglasses to Kite, who looks up to the bright light. The amount of light in the ground vein is not as direct as the sun, but some people could hurt their eyes. Nevertheless, Kate shook her head in response to such an offer.

"Thank you... but I can't even use it on the ground. I'll get used to my eyes."

"Really... so this is the ground vein. Nevertheless, you can't stay here long enough for us as a guide, so come here first."

When Sieve says so, he walks through the scaffolding, which is slightly on the side of the vein. The width of the scaffold is approximately one meter. It would be enough for each person to finally get through. If it falls, it's upside down to the ground pulse. I guess it's a handrail replacement. The rope - which seems to be made of special fiber too - just goes down the road. As such, there was a slight slice in the rock wall where it went a little further. There, the three dive in.

"This place..."

"You can't wait on the side of that enormous magic runoff on a boulder, and you can't keep your body until you have a rest point somewhere. You won't even be able to investigate the ground vein while holding your luggage. The walls here are affixed with a special cloth that blocks magic, so it is possible to rest. I'll be waiting for you here while you two are being investigated, too. If you see any physical discomfort, please return."

"Okay."

Kate nods one thing to Sieve's precautions, and she snorts at Yuri. It's an actual investigation from here on out. So they decided to put the baggage they had brought on the spot and come to the actual investigation.
