The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

"Ah... there is a village after crossing the grassland and forest outside the town, and there is a maze in front of the village, right? Do you know that besides the maze, there are other magical beasts of similar strength?"

"If you don't go into the forest, there are similar monsters near the village at the end of the street."

"I see, then let's try our luck over there."

So far, what is more important than earning money is the shield and Raphtalia's level improvement. Of course, your own level improvement cannot be ignored either.

Xia Qing set out for the village based on the information provided by the weapons shop owner.

The village is called Ryude Village, and it is a very suitable village to use as a base. There is only one hotel in the village, and the overnight fee is one silver coin.

It is also a good place for acquisition merchants to stay here every two days.

Although there is no pharmacy, because villagers need medicines, the prices are cheaper than in towns.

But it must be noted that the quality is relatively poor.

By the way, because the name Shield Hero is not popular in [Mellomag], there are always some gangsters who come to harass me when I first arrive in the village.

Regarding this kind of behavior, Xia Qing had no choice but to chat with them (physics) to scare the monkeys.

Then, after booking a room at the hotel, Xia Qing took Raphtalia to a nearby mine.

According to the innkeeper, so many monsters have appeared in the mines here recently that the miners don't even bother mining.

If you solve it, you will not only get a lot of experience required for upgrading, but you will also get gratitude money from Ryude Village. It is rare to get two birds with one stone.

"...Are we going inside today?"

Raphtalia asked a little scared.

"There seem to be dangerous monsters in that area. Unless I encounter a monster that is dangerous to you, I will not take action. Just think of it as honing your sword skills."

"Well, I understand."

Then, Xia Qing opened the map he bought. It was a piece of parchment on which the passage routes in the mine were vividly drawn.

Places you have not visited will not be recorded on the map displayed on the shield. The maps loaded by the system are also obtained from the Internet or known maps.

Near the inaccessible mountains, there is an overgrown road with a waste pit at the end of the road.

There are several abandoned pickaxes at the entrance. Although they are very old, they should still be useful.

Next to it is an abandoned lounge.

The door has a lock. Since no one is using it, it shouldn't be a problem to break in.

Xia Qing reached out and pulled open the hanging lock.

Click————!

The lock itself hanging on the door leaf had been severely corroded, and it broke immediately after being pulled with a little force.

When I walked inside, I found a rope and a lot of debris scattered on the floor.

Having said that, it seems that these are all discarded things, and there is nothing decent to be found at all.

Xia Qing barely found a map of the inside of the mine, which was thankful to God.

By the way, throw the things you find to the shield to absorb.

〖The "Cross Pickaxe Shield" condition is released. 〗

〖The "Rope Shield" condition is released. 〗

[Cross Pickaxe Shield]

Equipment bonus effect: Mining skills +1

【Rope Shield】

Equipment bonus effect: Skill "Aura Shield"

Special Effect: Rope

"Aura shield...remember how to use it..."

Xia Qing began to imagine the scene of the rope flying to the beam of the hut. As a result, the rope coiled into a shield stretched itself and wrapped around the beam.

"It's really convenient, but I can already fly, so what's the use of this thing..."

Xia Qing fell into deep thought.

Let’s try the skills again by the way.

"Aura shield!"

While I shouted the name of the skill, my field of vision showed instructions for me to choose which direction to launch it in, and a circular skill coverage area was reflected on the ground.

Xia Qing concentrated her will and tried to project it to the area in front of her, only to see the aura shield appear out of thin air at the position as I imagined.

It looks like a large shield made of strange power.

With a physical touch, this human-sized aura shield is quite easy to use.

"What's wrong?"

Raphtalia tilted her head slightly and asked.

"It's nothing, just trying something new."

Xia Qing replied.

"That's it... well, should we move forward?"

"certainly."

Although Raphtalia has been very energetic recently, she has begun to make reckless remarks. This is not good, so she needs to be careful.

Xia Qing jumped into the waste pit holding a torch.

"I heard that there seems to be dangerous monsters living there, so be vigilant."

"Um."

Raphtalia nodded.

Up to the halfway point, this place looks like a cave reinforced with wooden bars, but a short distance further, it transforms into an environment similar to a stalactite cave.
