"Master, you are here." Soon, Fran saw Lind coming.
"Yeah." Lind nodded to Fran. "What happened? What was that noise just now? Is anyone injured?"
After asking a series of three questions, Fran didn't say anything. She just raised her hand and pointed at the mountain not far away.
A huge door appeared on the mountain.
The door was about four meters high, and the color of the whole door was like jade, with a slight glass texture. There were also some patterns painted on the door, and it was unknown whether they were purely decorative or functional magic runes. There were a lot of rock fragments scattered on the ground outside the door.
"Just now, the pig beasts started mining at the location you selected, but it collapsed not long after they started digging." Fran explained with her arms folded across her chest. "But don't worry, although it happened suddenly, the girls reacted quickly and dodged quickly when the landslide occurred. No one was injured."
Linder nodded and took a quick look at the beastmen. Although they looked a little disheveled and many were dirty, none of them were missing and none of them had obvious injuries.
"I told them that your lives are the property of the Son of God and that you should use them with care," Fran continued.
Linde turned his head and looked at Fran in a daze.
"This is my duty as the Shaman of Mother Earth." Fran explained with a smile why she did this.
It is indeed the duty of clergy to preach the glory of God to believers and non-believers, strengthen the faith of believers, and convert people who are not of their own religion into believers of their own God. However, as a person who does not like religion, Lind feels particularly awkward.
"Tell me before you do something like this next time." Linde said to Fran in a low voice and walked towards the gate.
The pig beasts gathered in front of the gate automatically made way and stood respectfully on both sides to welcome their master. Linde was a little unhappy about this, but now was not the time to correct it.
Walking to the front of the gate, Linde looked up at the huge door, especially the patterns on it, and wondered what kind of door it was.
"Flan, do you understand what the pattern above is?" Lind first asked the oldest elder here.
"I don't understand." Fran shook her head. "I'm just a shaman. I can't understand these mysterious patterns."
"This looks like a magic rune." Elisa looked at it for a while and said uncertainly.
"Magic rune?" Linde turned his head and looked at Alyssa.
"I'm not sure either." Alyssa said uncertainly. "From the pattern, at least part of it conforms to the rules of magic runes, but the other part doesn't match."
"Is that so?" Lind nodded, then said to himself, "I should have brought your mother here earlier."
Alisa's face instantly turned red.
Just as Lind was standing at the door, not knowing what to do next, the door suddenly moved on its own and slowly opened outwards.
The door, which had been there for who knows how many years, began to shake. The moment the door opened, all the pig beasts took the initiative to stand in front of Lind.
Soon, the door opened, and the breath of history surged out from inside. All that came into view was a dark, empty corridor.
"Eh?" Alisa suddenly asked in confusion. "Just now... there seemed to be a fluctuation of magic power."
Chapter 192 The Second Cave
Originally, Linde came here just to mine. After all, whether it is the upcoming war or the construction of the camp, steel is an indispensable thing.
With the application of magic runes, the output of steel has made a qualitative leap. With sufficient iron weapons, they can have a considerable advantage when fighting against the Chaos Beastmen army of Lion King Mara.
All they had to do was dig out the iron ore and bring it back, and by the way, take Alyssa to see the secret room made of 100% Sylph Stone and the magic runes. However, even such a simple thing led to an accident.
A big door appeared in front of everyone.
The material of this door looks similar to jadeite. I have an impression of this material. It is the same material used in the building in the mountain. Is this gate also part of this building?
If this is the case, then the buildings in this mountain are incredibly large. Linde even doubts whether the mountain has been hollowed out.
Maybe it was due to disrepair or some other reason, but the door opened by itself. Looking at the dark corridor behind the door, Lind began to think.
Should I go in and take a look?
A cave of unknown origin appeared in a deserted place, and it is very likely related to the devil. If you go in rashly, it will be similar to the development of a horror movie.
And when I looked around, except for myself, the only guy with a penis, the others were all heroic women with exaggerated pectoral muscles. It felt like the beginning of an American horror movie.
If I go in, wouldn't that be a suicide plot?
"Eh?" Just when Linde was wondering, Alyssa spoke. "Just now... there seemed to be a fluctuation of magic power."
...Well, it seems I have no choice but to do this.
"Are you sure there is a fluctuation of magic power?" Lind confirmed with Elisa to be on the safe side.
"...Really." Alisa closed her eyes and felt it carefully. "There is indeed passive magic in it, and..."
"And what?"
"It's the passive magic after casting the spell." Alisa emphasized.
"What do you mean?" Linde blinked in confusion.
"Magic fluctuations also vary depending on the situation. There are uneven distribution of magic winds caused by the terrain environment, and unnatural distribution of magic power caused by someone releasing magic. What I feel is the passive magic power after someone has released magic." Alisa explained.
In other words, has anyone used magic here?
"Can you tell what kind of magic it is?" Lind asked.
"...I'm not sure." Alisa tried to distinguish. "This wave is not the magic of the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. It seems... um, it's electric."
"Electricity!" Lind's eyes lit up. "Are you sure?"
"Didn't I just say I wasn't sure?" Alisa stared with dead eyes. "Electricity magic is a rare attribute magic. If I didn't happen to have a classmate with this attribute, I wouldn't be able to tell it apart."
The power of magic comes from the wind of magic, and the wind of magic has many different attributes, the most important of which are earth, fire, wind, and water, but in addition to these four, there are other attributes of the wind of magic. Since in order to use magic of corresponding attributes, the magician needs to have the corresponding affinity, so no one has clearly explained how many attributes of magic there are.
Speaking of electrical magic, Lind immediately thought of the magician who hid in the building that day and struck down the four demons with lightning.
Linde still cares a lot about this magician, and if possible, he would like to get in touch with him.
Since he attacked the devil, saved me, and took the initiative to open the door to let me and my wife go, he is at least not a bad person.
Thinking of this, Linde decided to go in and take a look.
Before entering, Lind asked two pig beastmen to go in together. He wanted them to volunteer, but they almost fought over these two places.
There was no other way, so Lind could only call a halt, and then he picked two pig beastmen that he liked. The two sows that were picked were very happy, while the ones that were not picked looked like they had lost all hope in life.
Fran was left outside to command the remaining pig beastmen, in case they could not handle any unexpected situations. As the only magician who could feel the passive power of magic, Alisa naturally had to go in as well.
Then, to Linde's surprise, Efit, a civilian, also urged to join the team.
"Master! Please let me join this team!" Before setting off, Efit tried his best to ask to join the team. "Don't worry! In order to deal with the drunk people in the bar, I also have some fighting skills, and I won't let you down!"
In order to prove that what he said was true, Efit waved his fist a few times, and it really looked like the real deal.
Looking at Efit's hidden fear, she might be afraid to be with this group of pig beastmen. This is not surprising, after all, it is not surprising for a thirteen-year-old girl to feel scared when she is with a group of half-dressed, 1.7-meter-tall, and fanatical beastmen.
Thinking there wouldn't be any danger, Lind agreed to let Efit join the exploration team, and then the group of five set off.
Linde took the lead, walked in front, passed the gate, and entered the dark cave. There was no lighting in the cave, and the torch in Linde's hand provided not very bright lighting. After a few steps, everyone could not see the road around them. Seeing this, Elisa raised her staff and muttered a few incomprehensible syllables. A glowing magic ball floated out from the top of the staff, illuminating the entire cave.
"That's why I said, there's no need for torches." After doing all this, Eliza clapped her hands proudly.
"Thanks, but torches are still necessary, because fire can reflect whether there is enough oxygen here." Although there was lighting, Lind still did not extinguish the torch.
With the lighting, everyone could see the situation clearly. This was a deep corridor with no end in sight.
"How deep is this cave?" Efit said worriedly when he saw this.
"I don't know, but this is obviously the same building as the cave my wife and I mistakenly entered last time. Maybe the entire mountain has been hollowed out." Linde said with a sneer.
"The entire mountain was hollowed out..." Elisa was shocked.
"I'm just speculating." Linde waved his hand.
The two pig beastmen did not speak, but just silently acted as bodyguards for the team. Ever since Efit entered here, he had a strange expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
"What is this?" After walking for a while, Elisa found something on the wall and pointed at it.
"Is this... text?" Lind said uncertainly as he looked at the square patterns on the wall.
Chapter 193: Deep into the Ruins
As the team went deeper into the mountain, the corridor did not become narrower, but instead became wider and wider.
At the beginning, this corridor could only accommodate a maximum of three people walking side by side. As they went deeper, the width of the building was sufficient for a small-scale troop to advance.
Could such a large-scale underground building really have hollowed out the entire mountain?
Once it is safe, if we continue to mine here stably, will we be able to dig out more buildings?
And who built this place?
Linde was certain that the human beings in this world did not have such strong productivity to build such a large-scale underground project. If it was not humans, then who would have built this place?
Elves? Dwarves? Or...
The race with frog-like hands?
As they walked forward, Lind was thinking. With Elisa's lighting magic, the team basically didn't have to worry about tripping. After walking for a while, Elisa suddenly saw something on the wall.
"What is this?" Eliza stopped and pointed at the wall beside her.
Everyone stopped and looked at the wall.
Before I knew it, the corridor had become very spacious, and patterns appeared on the corridor.
This pattern is a row, each pattern is independent and basically square.
"Is this... text?" Lind looked at the line of patterns and said with his head tilted.
"Text?" Alyssa was stunned. "Isn't this a mural?"
"No, it should be text." Linde stretched out his hand and touched it carefully.
After traveling to this world and taking over the original owner's memories, Lind naturally also learned the language and writing of this world, or the language and writing of the Holy Empire.
Before traveling through time, Lind knew three languages in total: Chinese as his mother tongue, English as a required language for study exams, and Japanese which he taught himself in order to read a certain monster girl illustration setting collection. Coincidentally, these three languages are respectively ideographic, phonetic, or a mixture of the two.
From Lind's perspective, the language of the Holy Empire is undoubtedly a phonetic language, similar to English, but the grammar is very different, often with a long string of words and the verb at the end.
This world also has different languages. Due to age and other reasons, the original owner only knows the language of the Holy Empire, but it seems that this world does not have ideographic characters like Chinese.
But the words on this wall feel like ideograms.
"Is this text?" Elisa was very surprised by Lind's judgment. "No way, I have learned the language of the elves, and this doesn't look like text at all."
"You also know the elven language?" Linde looked at Alyssa with some surprise.
"What? Is it weird?" Alisa put her hands on her hips. "The magic of the elves is much greater and more advanced than ours. In order to understand the works of the elves, magicians with a little bit of ambition will learn the language of the elves!"
"Great, great." Linde gave a small compliment.
"Master, I can speak the language of dwarves." Efit said suddenly, as if he was competing with someone.
"Huh?" Linde and Elisa were both stunned.
"My hometown is not far from the Dwarven Mountains. Dwarven craftsmen often come to do business and then stop by my tavern for a few drinks. Our wine is very popular among the Dwarves." Efit explained. "In the process of dealing with them, I learned a little bit of the Dwarven language."
"Not bad." Lind applauded.
After a short pause, everyone discussed whether the words on the wall were words or just patterns, and then what they might mean if they were words. Of course, it was impossible to reach any conclusion with such a discussion, so they had to give up in the end.
The group continued to move forward, and after walking for about half an hour, they arrived at a hall.
"It's so huge." Efit exclaimed. "Who on earth could build such a huge building in the mountains?"
"I don't know, but it's probably not human." Lind shrugged. "Of course, it's unlikely to be a beastman either."
When Lind and Ilfa mistakenly entered and left last time, he asked Mother Earth if she knew about the situation here, but all he got was silence. It seemed that Mother Earth was unwilling to tell him what she knew about the situation here.
Because of the experience last time, Linde didn't plan to disturb the other party this time. He planned to wait until he found out something before doing anything.
The hall in front of him was a fork in the road, with three different directions in front of him. On the walls of the three roads, there were the same patterns as those seen before, which indirectly confirmed Linde's judgment that this was text.
Looking at the three forks in the road before them, everyone looked at Lind. The meaning was very clear: which road to take and whether to go on or not.
Linde did not make a decision immediately, but lowered his head to think. It has been more than half an hour since entering here, and it has gone very deep. Judging from the overall trend of the passage, it should go down to the depths of the mountain. In other words, this underground building may not only hollow out the mountain, but may also be digging down.
