The sun is high

Among the miners who fled, many people are still worried about the situation in the mine. Among those miners who were not notified or who voluntarily stayed for various reasons, many of them were former workers. friends or distant relatives.

The many terrifying noises they heard before caused deep panic in their hearts. However, the will to survive and the rationality in their minds prevented them from turning back and could only continue walking along this narrow passage.

The person responsible for opening the way was the young man who was in the same room with the veteran and others. He was holding the crystal miner's lamp that was always available in the cave in his hand. He walked quickly, following the traces left by his last exploration. .

There is a constant breeze blowing ahead.

This shows that they can find an exit not far ahead, or that it is a rock crevice that allows them to use tools to expand!

"Uncle Hadera, can you feel it? It's windy! We'll be there soon!"

He turned around and gave a few words of encouragement to Hadera, the mine manager who was following behind him.

Unlike others, the old supervisor Hadera was indeed the elder of this young man. The young man's father was very afraid that his child would be caught in the army and sent to the front line, so he sent him to the front line when the last round of conscription began. He was sent to Hadera, hoping that his brother could take care of him.

After all, Hadera was a bit old. He really couldn't keep up with the pace of the young man in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the young man's clothes, panting and said: "Slow down, we can walk slower." …There are many people behind us.”

"Hey, okay uncle."

Hearing this, the young man slowed down. He turned around and saw that his uncle had been holding a small mining pick nervously in his hand. He persuaded him in a dumbfounded voice: "Uncle, what have you been doing with this thing? It’s quite heavy…”

"What do you know, I always need something to defend myself, right?"

Seeing his nephew trying to reach out and take away the "weapon" in his hand, Hadera shrank his hand in dissatisfaction and glared at him: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have needed to do this at this time. The last time I walked in a place like this was more than twenty years ago. If I had known that things like this would happen, I should have stayed at home and rested!"

"..."

The young miner glanced at his uncle, his lips trembled twice, but he said nothing.

Of course he knew that his Uncle Hadera could not rest at home. The prodigal level of his children was quite famous in Watch City. Once Hadera lost his income, his house would soon be destroyed. It will be emptied.

No pursuers arrived from the rear, so the miners gradually slowed down their pace and started chatting quietly. Although now it seemed that they had got a chance to escape, but after returning to After reaching the ground, they still had to face a cruel problem.

Where should I go next?

No one knows the answer to this question.

Because the Kingdom of St. Steele is now completely controlled by the Black Sun Society, their spies are everywhere, and there are those terrible and vicious Black Sun Mysteries everywhere. As a group of ordinary people, I am afraid that they can not be accommodated now. All that remains are remote villages far away from towns and cold, uninhabited forests.

For local residents who have always valued family and kinship, thinking about this kind of problem is too cruel, because they know very well that with the ability of the Black Sun Society, it is too easy to trace their family members , and now it is absolutely impossible for them to return to Watch City - it has almost been transformed into a fortress by the troops of the Saint Steele Royal Family!

In this depressing and desperate moment, it was the young miner who was responsible for leading the way in the end who brought some vitality to people.

"Brace yourself, I see the exit!"

His voice spread back along the tunnel, which made the somewhat depressed miners regain their energy. No matter what happens next, they must leave here first. They don't want to be in this underground world. Dying of thirst or starvation.

The young miner who led the way resumed his previous speed, and the old supervisor Hadera who followed behind also cheered up and accelerated his pace. Soon, they saw the faint starlight shining diagonally from above.

The young man looked around and confirmed that what appeared in front of him was a gentle slope made of countless jagged gravels. So he hung the miner's lamp on his waist and took the lead in climbing up the gravels.

The gentle slope was not too long, so he soon reached the exit, but just when he was about to use his strength to climb up to the ground, an extremely powerful hand stretched out and grabbed the young miner's wrist tightly.

Things happened so fast that the people in the tunnel didn't even have time to react. They only heard a cry of surprise, and then the young miner's figure disappeared into the starlight - someone dragged him out directly!

The poor young man could never have imagined that this would happen. He was already frightened and struggled violently as soon as he was dragged out of the mine. However, as soon as he moved, several invisible magic powers as cold as ice and snow pressed down on him. It came over and fixed him in place like a shackle, which also made him unable to say a word.

The crowd in the mine immediately exploded.

The situation is obvious. This abandoned mine has been discovered a long time ago, and these people have even been waiting outside the exit of the mine!

All their plans and their escape intentions have long been seen through!

The veteran who was originally in the middle of the team finally came to the exit. He raised his head and glanced at the starry sky outside, and couldn't help but squeeze the crystal gun in his hand.

Reason and experience told him that now, all acts of resistance have lost their practical meaning. With their abilities and the little force they have in their hands, if they want to attack those on the ground, they are looking for death. If these people There are one or two mages among the besiegers, and they even have the ability to directly kill all the miners in this narrow passage.

At this desperate moment, the old manager smiled instead.

"I'll go up and have a look."

He grinned at the other party, then put down the object in his hand, and tremblingly climbed up the gravel.

As if knowing that Hadera's climb was somewhat difficult, an ice-blue mage's hand suddenly appeared in the darkness. It very gently supported the old manager's body and helped him continue to climb up. , when they were about to reach the exit, two tall figures came out. They used the lamps in their hands to shine into the mine, and then worked together to take Hadera out of the mine.

When Hadera returned to the ground, he first saw his nephew. He seemed to be frightened and was sitting slumped in the open space aside. Next to him, there were more than a dozen people standing.

Although Hadera was old, his memory was pretty good. Through the light next to him, he immediately recognized that those standing here were the servants who followed Baron Ferlando, and among them, the one who was manipulating the hand of the mage was It was the plain-looking head maid.

"How is this going?"

For a time, all kinds of messy thoughts were mixed together in Hadera's shrewd mind. Thinking of the previous unusual movements in the Yanhu Mine and the pursuers who inexplicably disappeared into the darkness, Hadera faintly He had some guesses, but these guesses were so outrageous and strange that he did not dare to make inferences at all.

Under the dull gazes of Hadera and the young miner, the head maid raised her hand to remove the camouflage magic on her face, revealing her delicate face with a rich scholar's temperament.

Then, she reached out and took out a pair of glasses from her pocket and put them on slowly. Then she smiled and said: "Mr. Supervisor, please let everyone in the tunnel come out. Don't shoot in it, and don't Using alchemy bombs, this tunnel is not strong and it may collapse at any time."

"This...you...ma'am...you?"

Director Hadera's heartbeat was speeding up crazily. He opened his mouth and stumblingly changed several different names in succession. After several seconds, he finally calmed down a little. At the same time, the same followers around him The dressed-up figures also removed their disguises, and strange faces appeared in front of Hadera.

Although Hadera, who had stayed in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, did not recognize the faces in front of him, he could recognize the emblems worn by these people.

He saw the emblems symbolizing stream-level, lake-level and river-level mages, the Eye of Mel representing the members of the Legal Council, the particularly dazzling special emblem of the Plateau Council, and even the emblem representing Delan. The iris pendant of the Kingdom Iris Guard!

Almost instantly, tears burst from the old supervisor's eyes.

The sudden excitement made him almost unable to control himself. He stood up straight in excitement, wiped his face haphazardly with his sleeves covered with dirt and dust, and took the initiative to walk towards the entrance of the tunnel without Weilin's continued urging. go.

Looking at the somewhat stooped figure, Weilin breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and said to a mage beside her: "I hope everything goes well at the mine. I don't want to rush back with the miners." I still have to participate in the battle..."

"I don't think it's necessary. After all, Mr. Ernst himself is in the mine."

The mage shrugged: "Being able to formulate such a plan and implement it completely within half a day... Oh, maybe my vision is too narrow, but I have never seen such a person in the past. Maybe this is Enns The reason why Mr. Special can become the 'living legend of Salem City'?"

"A living legend in Salem City?"

This somewhat exaggerated title made Wei Lin frown: "For such a strange title, you should praise him directly to his face. It sounds really... strange to me."

The mage shrugged: "Will you? I thought Miss Weilin would be very happy to hear this."

After hearing this, Wei Lin couldn't help but glare at him: "Why am I happy?"

"Well……"

The mage smiled sarcastically, and then he explained: "Everyone says this on a daily basis. The best way to praise a teacher is to praise his students, right?"

…

Late at night.

Three huge Asaru birds flew in the night sky. On their backs, they were each carrying a spellcaster from the Black Sun Society. Unlike the magician from the Black Sun Society who was in charge of the Rock Lake Mine before, these three were all black. The core members of the Japanese Society are all from the Dark Abyss Historical Society and are mainly responsible for the inspection of strongholds in the areas surrounding Watch City.

Half an hour ago, an alarm was sent out from the branch secretariat used to coordinate the ritual status around Watch City. The alarm indicated that there was something wrong with the secretariat inside a large mine near Watch City. It had completely The loss of contact means that it has either been isolated by other powerful magic rituals, or it has been destroyed by brute force.

No matter what the truth is, the Black Sun Society cannot tolerate this happening.

After the grand ceremony witnessed by the black sun, the original mysteries were given new meanings. They were no longer symbols used to connect and gather members of the society in the past, but real ones from the lost era and the real world. A "gift" from the gods.

Any malicious behavior against this sacred thing is a blasphemy against the "legitimacy" of Black Sun.

As a member of the Dark Abyss History Society who has the strongest feelings for the Black Sun, this situation is even more intolerable.

Therefore, within a few minutes of receiving the warning, the three heavily armed association members set off immediately. At the same time, they also issued notices to the strongholds around the Rock Lake Mine - immediately heading in the direction of the mine. Gather and form an encirclement, obey the command of the association members, and prepare to ruthlessly strangle potential enemies.

A female member of the association riding the giant bird of Asalu said loudly to her companions: "I read it before setting off. The person who took over the Rock Lake Mine is Ferlando of the Saint Steele royal family. I know this person." Guy, he has some minor problems, but he is absolutely loyal to us, and there are not many problems with his abilities... The shooter battalion following him is now in Watch City for repairs and supplies, and they have been controlled. "

"So you think that Fei Orlando has not rebelled?"

"I prefer to believe that there are some accidents in this mine. In short, I will be asked to check the situation first. If there is an accident or there is no signal, you will directly attack the mine!"

Regarding this opinion, the other two people chose to agree: "Okay, if you don't send a signal within half an hour, then we will attack directly."

After the three people exchanged opinions, the Asalu giant birds immediately dispersed. Two swooped towards the planned army gathering place, and the other one rushed to the direction of the Yanhu Mine alone. This member of the association was ready to take a good look at what kind of commotion such an ordinary mine could cause.
