Lightning couldn't help but be silent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

She knew that Edith was right, if the pit was that deep, the fate of falling could be imagined, and if the answer was the latter, the situation was even more complicated if the magic was disturbed by something - it was good that there was only a large Divine Punishment Stone at the bottom of the pit, and if it was a trap set by the enemy, it would be too dangerous for the rescuers.

The scythe beasts that came and went without a trace, and the worm carriers that devoured the Devil's Stone Tower, could hide in this snowy mountain. Without the early warning of Nightingale and Sylvie, as well as the cover of the First Army, even the Witch of Divine Punishment may not be able to bring Fran back.

The little girl took a deep breath.

But the adventure itself is fraught with danger.

A good explorer should not be left to the death of his companions.

"Let me go down and see," she said, walking up to the two sides of the argument, "whatever happens next, we must first find out what is going on at the bottom of the cave." ”

"Your abilities are ......," the blond man asked, turning his head. Lightning remembered that the other party's name seemed to be Elena, and despite her male body, her soul was that of a true Tachiragu witch.

"Fly," she tapped on the goggles above her head, "in this case I'll have an advantage over you." ”

"It's not a matter of inconvenience," Agatha frowned, "In case the bottom of the cave can't use the ability, how are you going to come back?" Your Majesty has said that this search is never allowed to be carried out alone, and whether it is the Witch League or Tachira, it must be steadily advanced with the cooperation of the First Army. ”

"Just hang a rope around my waist," Lightning trayed out his thoughts, "If it's really a forbidden area made by the Divine Punishment Stone, I'll be fine." As long as you find the rope hanging down the cave wall, just pull me up. ”

When she was a child, she heard her father tell her that there were many thrilling emergencies, and if they were handled properly, most of them could be averted.

Even without her magical powers, she is still the most brilliant explorer!

"Let me follow," Nightingale interjected, "there is no difference between upper and lower in the Misty World, I can easily walk on the cliffs, and even if an enemy appears, I can cover her return as soon as possible." ”

"What's the difference between this and going it alone?" Wendy shook her head repeatedly, "In case there's a trap below, you two can't take care of it at all, don't forget that there are enemies as powerful as high-level devils in this world!"

"We're not going to leave Fran alone, and if you don't go, we'll go ourselves!" said Elena in a deep voice.

"Four hundred years have made you forget the importance of obeying orders?" Agatha's voice became serious, "In the name of the High Witch of Tachira, I ask that you not act on your own!"

......Hearing this, all the witches fell silent, and Elena bit her lip, and finally took two steps back and bowed to her chest.

"You don't need to quarrel about such a thing," Edith said suddenly, "According to His Majesty's instructions, the exploration must be carried out in concert with all three parties, so it is only necessary to send the First Army down, right?"

"Have you found your way down?" said Brian, the head of the First Army.

"I didn't find the way, but I did," she said, pointing to a cliff at the mouth of the cave, and in the light of the torches, there were flickering points of light on the rock wall—the shimmering light of the flowing water. "The cement boat used to cook porridge had a set of lifting equipment, and I often saw them hoisting food directly from other supply ships, rather than carrying it by hand. ”

"Ah...... You're talking about the gondola system," Brian nodded, "and it can carry a lot of goods at once, but it has to be powered by a steam engine......"

"So, if we move the ship's machines here, we can transport two machine gun squads at the same time and enter this pit with the witches. "The length of the rope can be extended by joints, and a heavy machine shouldn't be a problem for the Witch of Divine Punishment." If there is water here, it will always be in operation, and the retreat required by His Majesty will be satisfied. The only question is how to tear it down, and there should be someone in the First Army who can do that, right?"

Brian hesitated, "It's fine if you just remove it, but if you want to put it back on, you can ...... it."

"That's just the loss of a boat and a steam engine," Edith raised an eyebrow, "it only adds up to five or six hundred golden dragons, what do you think Your Majesty will choose?"

Five or six hundred ...... Lightning couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, this is not a small amount, is it?

Brian didn't think long before nodding his head, "I see, you'll get a steam engine right away." ”

......

Half an hour later, there was a roaring machine at the edge of the pit - the cantilever of the gondola system was moved over and found it difficult to fix it in the rock, so it simply abandoned this part of the equipment and used only the winch as a retraction tool. The flywheel of the steam engine drove the heavy winch back and forth, sending a section of hemp rope straight into the pit. To prevent the rock wall from breaking the twine, Agatha summoned ice to wrap around the hole, allowing the rope to move smoothly up and down.

At the end of the twine was a large iron basket large enough to carry six to eight men and two Mark 1 heavy machine guns, providing strong fire cover even if the witch was incapacitated.

The first people to ride in the gondola were Egtha, Elena, and six First Army soldiers, accompanied by Lightning and Nightingale.

When the lifting device was debugged, everyone slowly sank into the deep pit, and the fire above their heads became more and more dim.

Tied to a rope, lightning flew down in the middle of the cave, guiding the way for those behind him. Maisie's absence made her a little uncomfortable, but she always had to be guarded outside the snowy mountains, and she still wanted to solve the mystery of the underground ruins more than to monitor the movements of the evil beasts.

Every time she descends more than ten meters, she will look behind her.

The fire at the outpost was almost obscured by darkness, and the only thing that stood was the two glowing magic stones in the hanging basket - a soft, steady glow reflecting a pale golden "ribbon" of ice that Agatha had left behind on the rock face. The ice fills the rugged rocks, making it a smooth mirror, and only in this way can a smooth fall of the group be guaranteed.

After flying for nearly 100 meters, Lightning's heart sank to the bottom little by little.

The chances of an ordinary person falling from this height are very small, and the only thing that can be hoped for is the fact that the vitality of the devouring worm carrier is particularly tenacious.

Just then, she noticed a strange reflection beneath her feet.

The light was dim, as if the dark curtain had opened its eyes, like a shimmering slit. The lightning bolt used the glowing magic stone to send two signals upward, held his breath and accelerated his fall, and then stepped on a hard and smooth rock.

She bent down and lightly touched the "ground", the surface of the dark stone was as smooth as crystals, and the dark glow was mixed with a touch of red that could not be dissolved......

She'd seen it.

It was the huge blackstone tower in the Devil's Camp.
