The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

The sanctuary was unusually quiet.

I'd like to get inside right away and check on the situation, but the sanctuary has something like a defensive device.

If we're going to get in from the ground or the sky, we'll be attacked.

Of course, we can break down the sanctuary gates and fences to get inside... while preventing it with magic.

However, this could cause an anomaly in the entire sanctuary.

That's why we decided to go underground.

Shake the pickle, drill a hole, and dig a loophole to the bottom of the sanctuary.

“Good, good. Soil is softer than Alain Berg.”

Healer, we're almost under the fence!

I could hear Hoole's voice coming from the entrance of the hole. Hoole is comparing me to the ground where I am.

Roger that! Keep your eyes open!

When I answered that, I waved my pick as I deployed my shield.

Maybe there's a defense device in the basement too...

Soon, Hoole's voice resounded again.

Ah! It's already under the sanctuary!

"Alright! Make an exit on the upper side, where appropriate!"

As I replied, I gradually dug a hole in the upper side.

Eventually, when the soil at the end of the dig collapses, the outside light leaks out.

"Alright... oh"

Once out of the hole, there was a manicured lawn, like a palace garden.

"It feels made, but it's a beautiful place." The influence of the world trees will make you feel better... hoole! I'll be fine! "

I sent a message to the hoole guys over the fence.

There was no sign that the sanctuary fence was attacking us. Shell is also circling the area a bit to see if there are any anomalies.

Taran and Furet bring Lurat to my voice.

Oh, how could there be such an easy hole?

Lurat asked.

Even though there is no one around, I don't seem to care at all.

"That's the kind of power I have." It's plain but convenient... by the way, Lurat. What do you think of this situation? "

Asked, Lurat looked difficult.

"I don't know... can you give me a little freedom to investigate here?"

"You're not going to let me negotiate with you now, are you?"... it looks like you've got everyone's predictions on where they're going. "

Wow, I really am.

"It's okay to be free." But we can track your magic. All you have to do is follow it. "

"Mm......"

Lurat didn't even try to break his mouth.

"I can't help it... I didn't want to use it, but do you want to use this made by Mappa's old man?"

Furet said that and grabbed a tool that looked like a cat. Taran also raised it with his two front legs.

"... are you going to tickle me with that?" "" Hey, Rurat. We're not here to make you suffer. If we can still work together, Sheol is welcome. ”

"Damn, you're stupid... now you can't do it anymore"

High pride must be in the way.

To get along with the guys who were watching us down there.

But you can tell me where it went.

I don't want to say it because everyone in the sanctuary is in a place they don't want to be known about.

Seeing that there was no one in the sanctuary, Lurat looked surprised.

But it wasn't unexpected, so I'm restoring my composure. Normally, you wouldn't mind if all the people you know were gone.

In other words, it was an unexpected event with a little thought.

From what I said earlier, that's.....

"... what did you just say about the king underground?" Doesn't that have something to do with it? "

Oh, it has nothing to do with that.

Lurat replied as well.

There is no doubt that those in the sanctuary regard the king of the underground as their last fortress.

Finally, the Undead came to the sanctuary. I managed to prevent it last time, but I don't know if I can prevent it next time.

The water in the lake is running low, and Alanberg's world tree is back, but we can't work with Alanberg now that we're cold.

From their point of view, it was a stalemate.

That's why I fell for the king of the underground.....

I don't know if it's something or magic or something. There is also the possibility of stories like the legend of the gods, the Bible.

In any case, I hope you didn't hurry up.....

"Lurat. I don't know how you and the nobility of Arancia want to end up." However, Alain Belluke is now trying to rebuild steadily. Eventually, he may fully reclaim Alancia's land. Wouldn't you like to see Alancia enriched again? "

……

Lurat shut up.

Alanberg himself was allowed to grow mushrooms, so he would have been able to eat the ration of Scheol fish.

You've seen them defeat their enemies with massive magic armor.

Somewhere in my mind, I'm supposed to think that my words are not impossible stories.

But even so, Lurat did not speak.

Hoole, who was holding her arms together, opened her mouth.

"...... Master Heel, you're wasting your time." Let's find it ourselves. Or maybe I'll just let you go... anyway, they'll never break like this. "

Hoole was right, it might be useless to try to negotiate.

I was going to keep Lurat from attacking Alanberg as a hostage, but I don't think the sanctuary has that kind of power in the first place. The loophole was easy to create, and the sanctuary itself is no longer a threat to us.

"Alright... Lurat. We're leaving." You can do whatever you want. "

That said, I untied the rope that was tied between Lurat's hands.

"Is that okay...?"

You know we're not hostile, right?

We fought the Sanctuary several times, but we didn't kill any of them.

"That's right..."

With a complicated look on his face, Lurat turned his back on us and walked somewhere.

So, what are you going to do, Heel Master?

That's what Hoole asked.

Lurat had already walked far away. It's still a long way to be pursued by magic power.....

But Lurat slowly stopped walking.

And after a while, I bowed down and came back.

As I approached, I could see the sweat flowing from my forehead.

Lurat?

"... I'm still anxious. Follow me... I don't want to die yet"

With that voice, I met Shell and the others face to face.

Everyone nodded to Lurat's words with a slightly happy face.
