The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

"Even I can't eat this."

"Let's go back the way we came."

Ilsa shook her head, which was a common occurrence in adventures.

Although I was a little frustrated, there was no way out and I had to go back the same way.

"Wait a moment!"

Ai Lan suddenly spoke.

She took a few steps forward, then approached a rock wall and sensed it.

"There are traces of light elements here."

Ai Lan said, pointing to the solid rock wall.

"here?"

Lisha came over and touched the rock wall with her hand.

It feels very hard, a bit like the texture of metal.

Something is wrong!

“This is not a rock.”

Lisha used her strength to break the rock and soil on the surface, revealing the shining metal inside.

"Come and help me."

At Lisha's call, the four of them cleaned up together and soon cleared away all the rocks and soil on top.

A metal door appeared in front of them.

“Is this some kind of relic?”

Meililu looked at the door in front of her in surprise.

The door is very tall, a full three meters high, and even Meililu can enter easily.

"Hard to say."

Ilsa glanced at the blocked road not far away.

The degree of blockage does not seem like a natural collapse at all. It must have been blocked intentionally by someone in order to allow people to return along the original route.

"Isn't this door made of dark iron?"

Lisha carefully stroked the completely rusty metal door, her eyes gleaming with appetite.

"The whole door?"

Ilsa knocked lightly on the metal door.

The echo sounds very thick, at least as wide as an average person's palm.

"The most important effect of dark iron is to make seals, and the second is to conceal the existence of light elements."

Ailan's sudden words made Lisha and Ilsa, who were discussing something, pause.

"Maybe there's a powerful monster in there?"

Ilsa's face suddenly turned ugly.

"I don't think so. Even if there is, it may have died long ago. After all, judging from the rock and soil accumulated on the gate, it has existed for at least a thousand years."

Lixia has a lot of insights into identifying antiques. Although initially it was just to prevent herself from not recognizing valuable items in ruins or mazes, because of Youze's help and her own efforts, Lixia is now definitely a master in identifying antiques.

Chapter 36: Lisha Must Come Now

"Youze, can you help me check if there is any danger inside?"

Lisha asked Yuze in her mind.

"Do you think I'm an omnipotent god?"

Youze leaned back on the imaginary chair, and with a lazily look, he used Lisha's eyes to observe the metal door made entirely of dark iron.

"I can't tell, but I advise you to be careful. Have you forgotten the path-finding technique you used before?"

"What happened to the pathfinding technique?"

Lisha's mind was full of question marks.

"Melulu's pathfinding was actually successful at first."

Yuze explained.

"The reason why the stick is standing upright is related to Meililu's own thoughts. When she performed the path-finding spell, she should have been thinking about finding a safe path. As a result, you can see that the stick is pointing directly upwards, which means that returning to the ground is the safest way. And this also means that all three forks in the road are dangerous, just big or small."

"So that's how it is. At that time, I was thinking about going to the road where the Sunstone could be found, so the stick pointed to the road on the far left, and now we have indeed found a trace of what appears to be the Sunstone."

Lisha suddenly realized.

“I’m going to tell everyone this.”

After saying this, Lisha repeated to everyone the explanations that Youze had just given in her mind.

"Is that so?"

Merilu looked at Lisha in disbelief.

It was the first time she heard such a theory, but it seemed to make sense when she thought about it carefully.

"Should we withdraw then?"

Although Ailan wanted to find the sunstone, she didn't want anyone to get hurt or put their lives in danger if it was too dangerous. Because Ailan knew that Lisha, Ilsa, and Merilu were all very good people, and they were truly good people that she might never meet again.

"We should retreat, just in case anyone gets hurt or..."

Ai Lan didn't finish her words, but everyone knew what she meant.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Ai Lan, adventurers cannot live without adventures."

Lisha broke the silence.

"But...."

It's irrational to go there knowing that there is danger.

There was such doubt in Ai Lan's eyes.

"I know, but so what?"

Lisha's tone at this time was mature, not like that of a young girl, but rather like those of veterans who survived a life-and-death battle.

“No one can prepare everything before going on an adventure. In an adventure, battles are sudden and dangers are unexpected. Learning to get along with these is a process that every adventurer must go through.”

"The unknown is the fun of adventure! ~"

Lisha’s face was filled with her passionate and dangerous smile.

“Lisha is right, adventure is like that.”

Ilsa did not dissuade Lisha because she knew what kind of person Lisha was from a long time ago.

"I, I understand. Please let me in with you."

Ailan was touched by Lisha's words. For the first time, she understood what adventurers were like.

In the past in the Elf Kingdom, no one would tell her this.

Those of the same race would only educate their younger generations by saying things like adventurers should not take risks lightly.

"It's not you, it's us."

Lisha put her arm around Alan's shoulders with the hand that wasn't holding the torch.

"Aren't we already members of a team?"

"Ok!"

Ailan nodded vigorously.

Yuze watched all this, and he did not stop Lisha's thoughts.

Because Lisha cannot become a truly strong person without going on adventures.

For the brave, adventure is inevitable.

"Okay! Now let's find a way to open this door."

Lisha said as she looked at Merilu.

"Let me come?"

Merilu looked at Lisha who was staring at her with some surprise.

“Let’s try to push it.”

Lisha said as she handed the torch to Ilsa and placed her hands on the metal gate.

Merillu also made the same move as Lisha.

"Three, two, one!~~"

Under Ilsa's slogan, the two of them worked together.

Lisha and Ilsa's strength is among the strongest in the Jedi. Even among the steel rank, there are few professionals with stronger strength than them.

But this dark iron door did not move at all, as if it was welded to the space.

Even though the two men had stepped on the ground to create holes, the gate still showed no signs of moving.

"Huh!~~It seems that it won't work."

Lisha let go of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"This door probably requires a special key or spell to open."

Meililu touched the edge of the door and found that there seemed to be magical patterns on it.

"Then we can only watch?"

Lisha put her hands on her hips unwillingly and stared at the metal door in front of her.

“Maybe we could try digging in from the side?”

Ilsa noticed that there was indeed a rock wall next to the gate and couldn't help but offer a small suggestion.

"Let me try!"

Lisha said this and started digging.

Although the rock wall was very hard, it was eventually dug open by Lisha's iron hands.

But after digging for less than ten minutes, Lisha stopped.

"It seems like there is some kind of protection stopping me here."

Lisha looked at the wall that was obviously just rock and shook her head.

It seems that the guy who made this relic did not leave such an obvious flaw.

When she was digging, she felt a huge obstacle and couldn't dig any further.

"It is basically impossible to force it open with our strength."

Meililu confirmed this.

The strongest among them should be Lisha, but Lisha still has a long way to go before she can reach the Steel Rank. As for the door in front of them, the Silver Rank may be able to cause damage, but they still have to consider the problem of cave collapse. Only the Gold Rank can open the door without destroying it, and it must be a Gold Rank magician who masters the sealing technique.

"It seems it won't work."

Ai Lan was a little sad. She thought she could find the sunstone this time. After all, she had sensed signs of the light element.

"You all gave up too early, watch me!"

Lisha opened her mouth and bit the metal door with her neat white teeth.

As Lisha bit down, a tooth mark appeared on the metal door.

"Crack, click, click!~~"
