With Dia's help, Nia quickly put away all the books in the basement and also took in the magic circle that was stationary in time. After completing this series of actions, Dia looked stunned. After all, having a space of 100 cubic meters for the average person is already very good, and the book that Nia just put in is enough for more than 300 cubic meters.
Ignoring Dia's doubts, Nia took him to check the condition of the legendary dagger first. Fortunately, the dagger was not damaged. But unfortunately, when the dagger was pulled out of the ice, it immediately began to emit a large amount of coldness, and the area around the dagger began to freeze. This phenomenon indicates that the dagger named Frost Blade has already acquired its own soul and spirit.
It's not an easy thing to keep holding a cold dagger, and in the end, I just threw it into my own space like before and studied it slowly later.
While in the basement, Nia obtained a map of the underground passage, but due to time constraints such as underground collapse and crustal changes, the map became inaccurate. But at least it provides a rough direction.
After encountering several collapsed passages, the two continued to advance along a passage on the map, but were still stuck in the passage. However, this time it did not encounter a collapse, but rather an ice block. The entire passage was sealed off by ice, and through the translucent ice, one could see that the blocked road was over ten meters long, and the ice was exceptionally hard.
Dia leaned against the ice and asked Nia, "What should we do now? It's another dead end. Should we find another way or find a way to get through it
He gave a disdainful look and said, "Of course we've made it through. We wouldn't be so lucky to come across another pathway
Dia glanced at her mouth and said, "It's easy to say. The hardness of this ice block is not worse than that of an iron block now, and you're not a fire mage
Nia gave a strange smile and said, "Who said I'm going to smash ice blocks? If the passage is blocked, won't I dig a hole? Anyway, even in the frozen soil, as long as there isn't a lot of magic, use the earth element to separate the soil
Nia's jumping thinking made Dia roll her eyes, but she had to do it because it was a good solution.
Because neither of them had done anything similar before, it took several tens of minutes to open a passage in the soil.
After stretching lazily through the passage, Nia raised an eyebrow at Dia and said, "Isn't this where we're coming?" Because they were not proficient, the passage they created was only less than 70 centimeters in diameter, and it was still very tiring to lie in this passage all the time.
After resting for a while, the two of them continued on their journey.
Just as the two of them were walking along the winding passage for a few kilometers, Nia suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing by at the fork in the road ahead. But after asking Dia, she didn't see any shadows.
In order to prevent being ambushed by elemental creatures like in the ice cave, Nia directly let Blue Pupil run out. After all, Blue Pupil's speed can reach a terrifying level even if it is not accelerated by wind magic, and ordinary attacks cannot hit it at all.
However, the two of them did not continue to wait for information from Blue Eyes to return in place, but continued to move forward.
Master, I have found some people, but they are all very short. "In less than half a minute, Blue Eyes transmitted a message through telepathic communication.
Upon hearing these words, Nia glanced at Dick. Dick was less than 1.7 meters tall, and Nia was even slightly shorter than him. Perhaps it was a common problem among underground races, who would gradually become shorter to adapt to the tunnel.
Dick, my pet Blue Eyes has discovered a group of people who are very short. According to them, are all the races living underground very short, so you're not that tall
Dick could only give a helpless smile. 'Maybe, but if we can find someone, they might be the ones who survived before. But why are these people still here for so long?'
Uh... that's a problem... "Nia scratched her hair." Oh, a group of people are coming over with weapons. By the way, you haven't told me what profession you are, so you're probably not just an alchemist
Although I have elven bloodline and am good at using bows and arrows, it doesn't mean I have to learn archery. I'm just an alchemist who can use magic up to level three
Never mind, I was hoping you could help, but now it's better to be distracted and protect someone
Nia took out the robe she had worn before from her own space to hide and threw it to Dia.
Why give me a robe? "Dia's face was full of question marks.
Nia suddenly remembered that the history of this robe did not exceed three hundred years, and Dia could never have heard of it. She could only reluctantly introduce it to him. This is an alchemy product from three hundred years ago, and one of its functions is invisibility. Although the effect you are using may not be very good, it should be able to deal with those people. After all, the first time the people are lined up, they should be reconnaissance teams. If they can't defeat them, they will call for reinforcements, which is usually the case
Nodding, Nia put on the robe and then closed her eyes and stood for a while. After all, he was a good alchemist who understood the purpose of this robe in less than two minutes and disappeared into the air.
Seeing that Dia had entered a state of invisibility, Nia also took out a water attribute wand from her exclusive space. Although the underground space is rich in earth and dark elements, with relatively few other elements, there is a large ice block not far behind Nia and her companions, which gathers a considerable amount of water elements and can still be easily accessed.
I tidied up the surrounding space a little and flattened all the sharp stones to prevent accidental injury if we were to fight. Then I turned around and instructed Dia a few words, "You should stand far away. The Blue Eyes report said that the people who came here all carry heavy weapons, such as hammers and axes. If the other party throws axes to play, you can't escape, even if you have elf bloodline and much higher agility than humans." After all, Dia's mental strength is relatively weak compared to Nia, and it's still easy to find him.
After hearing Nia's words, Dia didn't argue and obediently retreated twenty meters. After all, Nia was telling the truth that heavy weapons can easily cause accidental injuries.
Two minutes later, Blue Eyes suddenly appeared on Nia's shoulder, and at this moment, the footsteps of the other party could already be heard with their ears. Because the passage is very quiet, one can accurately hear the footsteps of these people walking in unison, indicating a high level of combat quality. However, it is very unfavorable for magicians to fight in narrow and accessible areas. Magicians and archers require a range, and underground passages are winding and there is no long-range attack at all.
After another minute, finally, a group of figures turned the corner and appeared in front of Nia
