After almost a whole day's journey on the carriage, the group finally arrived at the mining city as late night fell.
Since there was no rest on the way, everyone except Chu Mu was extremely exhausted.
However, now is not the time to take a rest
"Is this the legendary mining city? It's simply a ghost town."
Linsilei looked around and made a very appropriate conclusion.
"After all, the mine has been abandoned for decades, and the previous residents should have evacuated long ago."
"For humans, this is indeed not a suitable place to live, but……"
Claire narrowed her eyes and stared at the ruins of the city filled with shadows.
In the deserted streets and alleys, blue-white"will-o'-the-wisps" are wandering everywhere.
These"will-o'-the-wisps" are actually a relatively common type of low-level elves, which are easy to encounter in uninhabited forests and wilderness, just like wild birds or hares.
On the other side of the ruins of the city, a silent mountain range stands.
The mountain that looks like a silent giant in the dark night is the"Gade Mine".
In the past, this place was the largest producer of elven ores in the empire.
After draining out the last bit of value, the mine was abandoned.
The strategic-level military elves sealed during the"553" period of the old emperor were sleeping here. underneath a mine
"……So, can you let go?"
Claire turned her head and stared at Her Royal Highness the Princess who was hugging Chu Mu tightly with an unkind expression.
"No, I have to protect Chu Mu and cannot leave him~"
Fiana not only did not let go, but hugged Chu Mu's arm tighter.
"You are the one being protected, right? Besides, as an elf envoy, where is your contracted elf?"
While summoning Scarlet in the form of a fire cat, Claire looked at the purple-haired girl suspiciously.
"In such a dangerous environment, would it be better to summon the elves first?"
"this……"
Fianna was speechless for the rare moment. She bit her lip lightly and avoided Claire's sight.
"It's not that time yet! The royal contracted elves are different from your kittens and cannot be summoned casually!"
"W-what did you say?!"
Just before the exploration of the mission began and the team members began to fight among themselves, there was a sudden and violent vibration on the soles of everyone's feet. The shaking feeling was like the earth was turning upside down, which immediately made the noisy girls suspicious. calm down
"……Is it an earthquake?"
"It seems that there is no time left for us to rest, and the task needs to be carried out immediately."
Chu Mu stretched out his hand and rubbed Fianna and Claire's heads respectively, signaling the two to"cease the war" temporarily.
Then he snapped his fingers and used his"divine power" to condense a small fireball. Illuminating the surroundings.
This is the most basic elf magic, similar to a"sleight of hand" technique.
In the ruins of the city, the group quickly found their destination based on the map - passing through the main trunk that runs through the city center At the end of the road is the entrance to the mine.
A huge temple stands in front of the mine. It looks quite tall and majestic from the outside.
However, it is quite miserable inside.——
"This, this is too much, right?!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has received training from"Elven Princess" and is familiar with various ritual knowledge, couldn't help but exclaimed.
The statues inside the temple were seriously damaged, and all the elven ores embedded in the stone pillars were pried away.
Originally used to please the elves. The temple hall is full of garbage and scraps.
It looks like a garbage dump, seriously tarnishing the sanctity of the temple.
"It has been about twenty years since the city was abandoned, so it is not surprising that this situation would occur."
Chu Mu looked at the environment inside the temple and said lightly.
Although it is called a"temple", in fact, the elves in the mines are enshrined here.
People offer sacrifices and Kagura dances to please the elves and avoid the process of mining ores. , was disrupted by elves from the side.
So after the city was abandoned, the temple was also abandoned...
After all, this temple has no real"believers" and no"gods" to believe in."
"Fianna, did you find anything?"
"Hmm...there's definitely something strange about it."
Her Royal Highness the Princess walked carefully to an open space.
The ground beside her feet was scattered with some footprints and scratches.
"This temple has obviously been turned into ruins, but traces here indicate that several Kagura rituals have been held here recently."
"ceremony?"
Linsilei also walked over, frowning and staring at the footprints on the ground.
Unfortunately, as a noble lady, she really didn't know much about sacrificial rituals.
So she didn't see any clues.
On the contrary, Fianna Ignoring the mess on the ground, he sat down on his knees and analyzed the clues carefully.
"This pace... Although it has undergone slight changes, it should be a ceremony to release the seal."
"The ritual of touching the seal……"
After hearing Fiana's explanation, Alice immediately clenched her fists
"Once the strategic-level military elves are unblocked, nearby towns will inevitably turn into scorched earth!"
"We need to stop it quickly——"
"It's not that urgent."
Fiana stood up from the ground and patted the dust on her skirt.
"This temple is just a cover-up to hide the real seal."
"In a place as important as a mine, a luxurious temple is usually deliberately built on the ground to hide it from others."
"The real sealed temple is still hidden in a deeper place……"
Upon hearing these words, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Fianna.
But the latter shook his head helplessly and continued
"But I don’t know where the hidden main hall is, so I can only find it slowly."
"This is not necessary."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Suddenly, Chu Mu, who had been observing the temple, interrupted.
"Esther seemed to have something to say."
He summoned the"Demon Exorcist Holy Sword" and then lifted the elf's magic costume.
The loli elf with long silver hair suddenly revealed her figure - thankfully, this time she finally knew to wear clothes when she came out.
If He still looked like he was wearing only a pair of knee-high socks.
I am afraid that Chu Mu will face a crisis in his image in the eyes of the girls this time.
"Esther, you just told me...do you know where the main hall is where the seal is?"
Facing the girls' eyes, Esther nodded slightly.
"Yes I know"
"It was a long, long time ago before this place became a mine, probably hundreds of years ago."
"The mountain itself is a high temple dedicated to the elves"
"Before I was sealed in the sword, I often came here."
It turns out that Esther is the highest-level elf of the"Demon God" level who was sealed hundreds of years ago.
It is normal for him to be worshiped by humans on the Holy Mountain.
"So, can you take us to the main hall?"
"sure."
Aster raised his head and stared at Chu Mu, his eyes sparkling.
"Until then, please ask the master to give Esther a reward"
"Ah this……"
Chu Mu thought for a while, then put his hand on the silver-haired Loli's head and stroked it.
The Holy Sword Elf suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his body seemed to be light and ready to fly.
"Hmm...Master...so comfortable……"
Like a cat being stroked on the chin, Esther kept making slight hums.
Of course, ordinary head touching cannot achieve this effect like taking medicine.
While the body was in contact, Chu Mu also slowly poured his own"divine power" into Esther's body.
Elves need to consume a lot of"divine power" energy to walk around the world, which is why Esther usually does not appear in human form.
The"divine power" provided by Chu Mu is a very powerful"tonic" for the elves.
That’s why Aster showed such an expression...
Even though it made sense, the girls who saw this scene still started whispering.
"I had always felt before that Chu Mu was too doting on Esther.……"
"To describe this kind of behavior using a popular vocabulary in the empire... it should be called lolicon, right?"
"Hmm...Does Chu Mu also like girls with small breasts?"
The last sigh of relief was probably from Claire.
Then, in Esther's eyes filled with reluctance, Chu Mu retracted his palm.
"Okay, the reward time is over, take us to the main hall."
"knew."
Although she still had some unfinished thoughts, the Holy Sword Elf nodded.
Then, she transformed into the"Demon Exorcist Holy Sword" again and floated out of thin air.
Seeing this scene, Chu Mu suddenly felt a bit of an ominous premonition.
"Wait, you don't want it——"
Before he could finish speaking, Esther had already given his answer. 3.9 I saw her releasing a large amount of"divine power" very boldly, splashing a stormy sword energy towards the ground!
Under the impact of countless sharp sword energy, the floor of the temple was directly cut into rubble... boom, boom, boom, boom!
As expected, an empty secret space was revealed beneath the shattered floor.
A dark and deep narrow corridor appeared in everyone's sight.
However, during the falling process that was full of exclamations, Chu Mu seemed to notice something, and his expression became stern.
The next moment, blue flames swept from the depths of the corridor, as if to freeze the entire space!
"Is this... Elstein's Fire?!"
Feeling the biting chill from the flames, Claire's face changed slightly.
"Apart from me, the only people who can use this flame are……"
A few seconds later, a girl with long dark red hair and an appearance somewhat similar to Claire appeared from the corridor walking on the flames.
""The Elf Princess of Disaster", the girl who betrayed the Fire Elf King and caused the empire to suffer a profound disaster.
Claire Elstein's sister——"Rubia-Elstein" appeared in front of everyone..
