The Crypt Mine is a large mine in the Kanto region of the Alliance, and since it has been discovered for several years, the mine contains several mining workshops and is inhabited by a considerable number of elves and humans.

Because of the mine's geographical location and unique environment, the workers and elves who work here live underground, dig a considerable amount of space underground, and build a town of iron and fire there.

At first, only the workers were here, and sometimes they would use the huge furnaces located on the edge of the town to smelt the ore into iron ingots or other things, and finally give them to the town's special managers to sell them, and by the way, to buy some of the things needed by the people who lived here.

Later, as the area became more and more famous, many blacksmiths began to move into the town, and it became a large-scale iron export town that was a collection of mining and processing.

Although there is nothing interesting here, there are sometimes people who are curious about the appearance of the underground city and come here, so Karp's arrival is not a surprise for this town, but it is Karp's purpose that makes the guards guarding the entrance to the town a little surprised.

"You're looking for Grey?"

The guards guarding the gate frowned when they heard that Karp was looking for Ash.

If it was usual, they wouldn't say anything even if someone looked for Ash, after all, Ash was the equivalent of a king and a patron saint to this town, and he was the strongest trainer in the city.

If it's really an enemy who came here, then even Ash is no opponent, and even more so an opponent.

So the other party wants to go to Ash when he has a certain reason, and this group of guards should theoretically not stop him.

But the situation is not the same as normal.

A few days ago, Ash went out once, and after coming back, he brought a body of injuries that have not healed now, and if the other party learned this information and took advantage of this time to come to find trouble, then he would have to think about it.

Cap saw what he was thinking, took out the power of attorney from the alliance from his compressed backpack, and handed it to the guard.

"Don't think too much about it, I'm a trainer sent by the Alliance to assist him with the Lightning Bird, you can take a look at this power of attorney."

The guard listened to Karp's words, looked at the power of attorney, and then laughed.

"The power of attorney is real, so come with me."

......

The lightning bird on the top of the mine and the residents of the town are more or less knowledgeable, but Ash said that there is no need to watch it for the time being, and the residents of this town don't care.

And the situation is the same as Ash said - the lightning bird's range of activity is only the top of the mine, and the daily activity time is basically noon, except that everyone reduces some mining time at noon, and needs to maintain more equipment by the way, there is really nothing worth caring about about the lightning bird.

And now Karp has been entrusted with the alliance to deal with the problem of the lightning bird, and they have different ideas about this matter than other residents who have encountered this kind of thing.

"Lord Karp and Lord Gray are inside...... If you can、Lightning Bird didn't bother us too much.、So if you don't bother, I hope you can think more about the Gray Adult's injury.,Please.。 ”

Karp glanced at the guards leading the way and nodded.

"I will."

It didn't explain to the guards how vulnerable the lightning bird was to Ash, but simply and seriously answered, and then walked into the palace where Ash was.

It's not the first time Karp has entered the Underground Town.

When the previous attack on the Rocket base was made, the Rocket base was built underground, but the Rocket base is basically made up of various excavated holes of different depths, which is completely different from the type of digging a huge space and then processing the space separately and building a town.

Ash is located in the middle of the town, and the architectural style resembles a palace, and when you walk in, you can see the palace hall, along the carpet with red background and gold edge, and after passing through a few pillars made of quartzite, you can see Ash sitting on a throne, holding his head with one hand, and some injuries on his body.

"You're here."

Ash had been keeping his eyes closed as if he were sleeping, but when Karp actually arrived at the palace, he found that Ash had opened his eyes and was looking at him.

"Yes, I'm here, do you want to take a look at the power of attorney?"

Ash listened to Karp's inquiry and smiled.

"No, I'm the successor to the title of Shield of the City City, I still know a little bit about you, and the Speaker has already told me about you, but do you know what he told me?"

Ash had a chuckle on his face and looked like he was in control, but Karp listened to him and spoke directly.

"I think the Speaker should have told you that I should have dealt with the Lightning Bird incident first, and you only need to make a move when I confirm that I can't handle it, am I right?"

Listening to Karp's words, Ash raised his eyebrows, he thought that Karp would ask him to help deal with the lightning bird problem at this time, but he didn't expect Karp to guess the Speaker's purpose at the beginning.

Karp looked at Ash's expression and basically confirmed that he had guessed correctly, and then continued to speak.

"In that case, I'd like you to help arrange a place to stay, preferably some information about the Lightning Bird, and be prepared for a protracted battle.

If that's all right, I'll leave the lightning bird business to me. ”

Karp's words once again exceeded Ash's expectations, he originally thought that Karp would find a way to persuade himself to make a move after learning that he would not make a move, but he didn't expect Karp to really dare to take on this task by himself.

For Karp's information about arranging the residence and lightning bird, Ash directly asked the guards to arrange it, and by the way, he also let him leave with Karp.

He sat on the throne and watched Karp's back as he left, and it took a long time for a smile to come to his face.

"You're so confident...... This is exactly the same as I was back then, and it's no wonder that the Speaker would inherit the title of Shield of the City to him.

However, I failed to challenge the Three Holy Swords at the beginning, and although I grew because of this, I was still hit hard at the moment of failure.

This lightning bird is estimated to be not as powerful as the Three Holy Swords, but at least it needs to have the combat power of an elf or the combat power of the team as a whole to reach the Heavenly King level to deal with it, I hope that he will not be hit too hard after he fails. ”

Thinking like this, he closed his eyes again and re-entered a state of false sleep, and what he didn't know was that Karp had a certain guess about the strength of the lightning bird long before he came, and basically confirmed that it also needed at least king-level combat power to break through, but Karp didn't intend to fail here.
