Chapter 81 Tunnel Exploration (Part 2)

"I won't hold you back! Don't look at my low rank, but I have these, all of which are magic ornaments above level three!"

Knowing that she was the weakest, Pekkala spoke quickly and raised her hand to indicate the rings on her right hand.

"Okay."

Hearing the choices made by the two, Claire nodded.

She had already reminded them, so even if something happened next, she wouldn't be too uneasy.

She relit the brass lantern and let it float in front of her. Then she took out another identical lantern, lit it and handed it to Avis.

"Use this to illuminate. In this corridor environment, the range lighting effect of candlelight may bring us hidden dangers."

"Of course."

Avis extinguished the light ball and added a dark vision to himself.

Afterwards, the team of three continued to move deeper.

Claire was still the leader. Since Pekkala was the weakest, Avis chose to walk behind her, leaving her in a safer central position.

This gentlemanly behavior won the girl's grateful smile and made Claire look at him extra.

The dark corridor was very long and often had twists and turns. The walls on both sides were made of a kind of solid blue-gray rock, and the direction was slightly up and down.

The three of them explored forward very cautiously, but except for a blind snake that slipped in from the crack in the wall, there were no other traps in the corridor.

This proved one thing from the side: this corridor is likely to be some kind of emergency passage.

"From the direction, this corridor seems to lead to the noble area of ​​the city."

As they walked forward, perhaps because they felt the atmosphere was a little quiet, Pekkala took the initiative to speak.

"Noble area?"

Claire looked at her with a little surprise.

Noble? Underground corridor?

It sounds so familiar, I always feel that I have heard many similar stories in the castle.

Pekkala's words aroused Avis's association, and he almost instantly came up with a slightly bold speculation.

"I have a guess--"

Under the gaze of the two women, Avis gently tapped the blue-gray rock wall on the side of the corridor with his staff and spoke slowly.

"Perhaps, this corridor was used by a high elf noble in ancient times to meet with others privately."

"In order to avoid certain factors, he had no choice but to secretly open up this tortuous corridor."

"It's very likely!"

Pekkala nodded in agreement and continued with Avis' words.

"Perhaps, the other end of the secret passage leads to the residence of a young noble elf.

When the handsome man went out one day, he met another beautiful and kind elf girl.

But because of their different backgrounds, the young elf's family forcibly separated them!

Unable to defy the will of the family, the helpless young man had to quietly open up this underground passage while the family was not paying attention.

Every night, the unfortunate lovers who were separated would meet quietly through this tortuous passage. Just like their love that had withstood many twists and turns..."

As she spoke, Pekara couldn't help but hold her slightly red cheeks with both hands, and her purple crystal eyes revealed a trace of reverie, as if she was an ordinary girl in love.

...How many bloody love stories by the authors of the Itel Federation have you read?

Anweisi twitched his mouth. His original guess was:

Because there is an inscription defense array in the city that prohibits teleportation.

In order to have a tryst with his mistress without being discovered by his wife, an elven noble in ancient times opened up this passage.

Although the high elves practice strict monogamy, it is impossible for all individuals to abide by this rule.

Looking at Pekkala, and then at Claire who was also a little absent-minded, he finally wisely swallowed this idea back.

At this time, the three people who were moving forward encountered the first obstacle on the road.

Due to the changes in the terrain over the long years, part of the corridor collapsed, and the road ahead was blocked by earth and rocks.

"Manipulate the earth and rocks"——"

Claire, who was walking in front, raised her right hand calmly, with her five slender white fingers pointing at the blocked earth and rocks.

A pale yellow fluorescence rose from her hand, and the earth and rocks blocking the road were separated to both sides like soft water under the effect of magic, and slowly flowed past the three people.

After clearing the obstacles several times in the same way, the three finally arrived at the other end of the corridor.

A dark metal gate blocked the way. After probing around the gate, the three did not find any inscription circuits and devices connected to the gate.

Obviously, the opening device of this door should be at the other end.

Claire reached out and touched the surface of the gate. When her white fingers touched the cold metal, the magic attached to her fingertips felt a strange barrier and could not penetrate.

"This door seems to be made of a magic-hating alloy. I can't sense its thickness..."

Claire hesitated and pursed her moist lips.

"What should we do? Sister Claire, it may be difficult for us to break this door with our attack. "

Hearing Claire's words, Pekara was stunned, and a trace of difficulty appeared on her cute little face.

"If it is a senior student of the Construction School, there may be a way to force open this door."

Claire thought for a while, and turned her beautiful green eyes to Pekara and Avis.

"You step back a little, I will test its sturdiness. "

The two of them retreated a few steps as instructed, and the blonde girl also retreated to a safe area. Then, she took out a conical alchemical flask from her waist bag and threw it directly on the surface of the gate.

With a crisp cracking sound, the dark green alchemical liquid with strong corrosiveness splashed everywhere.

Most of it was poured on the surface of the gate, and a little liquid splashed on the surrounding rock walls and the ground, emitting bursts of thick smoke and violent corrosion sounds.

But when the liquid ran out, the corroded parts of the gate surface had no changes except that the color became lighter.

Avis even had a feeling that the parts corroded by the liquid were the original color of the metal of the gate.

Looking at the black metal gate that was almost undamaged, Claire couldn't help but frown.

"Metal corrosive agents are almost ineffective against it. It should be some kind of high-level anti-magic alloy."

"Perhaps, you can try to use fossils as mud to dig through the surrounding walls to bypass this door."

As she said, the girl took out a piece of khaki crystal and held it in her palm, turning her head slightly to look at the two of them.

A faint light shone in her blue eyes, adding a strange charm to her delicate face.

"Anvis, Pekkala, come together! These blue-gray rocks are too solid, and my magic is not enough to complete these——"

At this moment, she took off all the disguises and veils, and completely revealed the style of a future legendary explorer!
