The sound echoing in the mine tract was not very loud, and it was even a little weak. We had to keep our breath silent to barely hear it. Relying beside "Miss Sailun", Emily couldn't help but hold her breath. Her eyes stared at the dim mine tract in front of her, and she could even feel her heart beating wildly. This feeling made Emily feel very nervous. She clenched her fists and placed it in her chest. An indescribable sense of tension spread in Emily's heart, even making her unable to breathe.

Rhodes didn't notice Emily's strangeness, but now he didn't have time to comfort the woman behind him. On the contrary, Rhodes leaned against the wall and listened carefully to the sound - the sound was a little dull, weak, intermittent, but it probably sounded not behind the wall, which means that the other party might even be in the mine in front... Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help frowning, and he subconsciously reached out to swing through the void. However, after finding that there was nothing in front of him, Rhodes realized that he was not in the game now, and naturally there was no holographic map plug-in for him...

But even so, Rhodes didn't have any way.

Thinking of this, Rhode squatted down and looked at the ground carefully with the help of the burning torch on the mine wall. Then he stretched out his hand and touched the ground down the mine wall. Then, Rhode carefully and slowly touched the small broken ore piled in the corner at hand. Seeing Rhode's movement, Emily was a little curious. She blinked and wanted to ask, but soon she looked at the dark cave in front of her, and then immediately closed her mouth again. But even so, Emily was still confused--What is Miss Sailun doing?

After a few minutes, Rhode stopped. He grabbed a sleek little stone among the gravel, then raised his hand and put the stone that was the size of a fingernail in front of him. Then Rhode closed his eyes and injected a trace of soul power into the small stone in front of him. Soon, a line of system prompts appeared in front of him.

【Damaged crystal fragments found】

It seems to be true.

After seeing the system prompt in front of him, Rhode nodded slightly. The crystal fragment in his hand at this moment helped Rhode relieve his doubts. It seemed that they had almost arrived at the mine on the other side, which was the crystal ore belonging to the Howard family. But... Judging from the current distance, if they are really the Howard family, then is it moving too fast?

Thinking of this, Rhode turned his head, looked at Emily, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss Emily, are there anyone else here besides us?"

"this……………"

Emily was a little surprised when she heard Rod's inquiry. She turned her eyes and thought for a while before she answered carefully and hesitantly. "………I remember right, the Howard family should have a mine here, but……… there is a very far away from our mine."

This is also natural. After all, the Edward Chamber of Commerce mainly produces iron ore and silver mines, while the big head of the Howard Chamber of Commerce comes from the magic crystal mine. The two parties have different needs. Naturally, it is impossible to act on the same piece of land. Moreover, unlike the iron and silver buried in the soil, most magic crystals are underground open-pit minerals. Because they contain the influence of magic power, the quality of the stones at the location of the magic crystal mine is not very good, and naturally there is no high-purity silver ore and iron ore. So even if both parties want to attack each other, it is not

What is easy to succeed? Rhodes disagrees with Emily's surprise. Although it is common to dig mines in big cities like Deep Rock City. However, in such small places, chambers of commerce families generally do not have the same manpower and material resources to do the same thing, so when they explore mineral deposits, they mostly search for naturally formed caves. Then they dig and explore these caves. Such caves are everywhere under Fiat. It is not uncommon to occasionally have a cave passing through the mountains and other things.

Thinking of this, Rhode explained to Emily quickly and simply. After hearing Rhode's explanation, Emily also looked amazing. After all, although she stayed in the chamber of commerce all day, she was really not very familiar with such things - no matter what, it was impossible for her to be a girl to mine.

"So, Miss Sailun, you mean...we are likely to walk to the Howard family mine?"

Speaking of this, Emily's voice was filled with a bit of joy. After all, she had been wandering around in this maze-like tunnel with Rhode for a long time. In this dim environment, humans will become slow to pass by. Emily doesn't even know how long it has passed before. Is it ten minutes? twenty minutes? one hour? two hours? half a day? or one day?

No matter how long it took, for Emily, she was exhausted and hungry. She was in pain everywhere, and she had to beware of the threat from the terrible monsters from the darkness. At this moment, when she heard Rhode's answer, Emily couldn't help but get excited. Although the relationship between the Howard family and the Edward family was not good, at least they were humans, and being with humans was better than being alone with Miss Sailun in this terrible place, right?

"Not yet, the sound is very weak, but I think there should be a cave ahead to lead there. Miss Emily, please be careful. There is a mine that has not been developed yet, so we must walk slowly." As he said this, Rhode stood up, reached out to grab the torch on the wall, and then turned his head and smiled at Emily.

"Let's go, Miss Emily."

"Okay, Miss Sailon."

Looking at Rhode's smile, for some reason, Emily felt that her mood had quickly calmed down. She had been anxiously hoping to leave this terrifying and dark underground world as soon as possible, but now, after seeing Rhode's smile, Emily suddenly hoped that she could spend more time with the other party.

Just as Rhodes led Emily into the ground, there was already a mess on the ground.

Celia stood beside her, looking at the crowd who were shouting and quarreling with each other with helpless eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and pressed her forehead, and sighed slightly.

After the accident happened, the people from the Edward Chamber of Commerce arrived at the scene. After listening to the instructions of the workers and Celia on the scene, the people from the Edward Chamber of Commerce started arguing like this. Especially after hearing Celia explain that the president of the Edward Chamber of Commerce was dead, these people quarreled even more fiercely. Some people believed that the mine should be opened as soon as possible and Miss Emily and Miss Sailun were rescued. After all, one of them was the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce president, and the other was a guest from the Kingdom of Light. No matter which one happened, it was difficult to explain. Others strongly opposed their opinions. In their opinion, the mine channel was extremely fragile and could not withstand the torture at all. If it was forced to be reopened again, it might cause greater damage. It would be better to look around to see if there were any other entrances, and then send people to find the victims.

It is precisely because of this that the two sides quickly argued. One side accused them of not wanting to rescue Emily but wanted to use it to annex the entire chamber of commerce. The other side said that we made such a decision entirely for the sake of the workers and ourselves. In this case, forcing the mine to open up the mine is tantamount to suicide, which is simply impossible!!

Celia did not join the quarrel. Although strictly speaking, she should be the one who is most worried about now, Rhode had already issued an order when he was in a soul communication with her. After that, her work was completed, and she would not ask about anything after that. At the beginning, Celia was a little confused about why Rhode had to give such an order to herself. After seeing the scene in front of her, she finally had no doubts at all - such a troublesome thing. Celia really didn't want to interfere in it.

Thinking of this, the Battle Angel Girl sighed, then she closed her eyes and began to contact another person.

"Sister Selestina?"

"………………What's up?"

After a while, Celestina's reluctant voice came from the other side. From her tone, it sounded that the devil lady was obviously still worried about what happened last night. It was no wonder that a high-level devil nobleman was taken away by someone in this way. After that, she was still like a slave and let the other party mercy - when she thought of this, Celestina gritted her teeth. Since she was born, she has not suffered such a great humiliation! If possible, Celestina really wants to understand herself and completely end this nightmare--but unfortunately, she does not have the function of suicide at the moment... For summoning elves, even if they die, they will be resurrected.

It is precisely because of this entanglement that Selestina simply stayed in the door and claimed that she was not suitable for the environment and was not clean. At least I don’t want to see that annoying bastard now, so it should be fine!!

Unfortunately, although Celestina was extremely entangled deep in her heart, Celia was so stupid that she couldn't figure out the situation. She had no idea what happened to Celestina. She just thought it was her sister who was throwing a tantrum again, so she didn't say anything more, but went straight to the topic.

"That's right, my sister, the master has encountered some trouble in the mine. He is now trapped inside..."

"What's the matter with me?"

Before Celia could finish her words, she was interrupted by Celestina in anger. The devil lady even interrupted Celia almost screaming.

"He hasn't died anyway, right? It's so troublesome. I don't believe that the insidious and cunning bastard can have anything to do! Okay, Celia, you are there anyway. I'm very uncomfortable now and I'm not adapting to the local conditions!! Don't bother me again!!"

After saying this, Celestina resolutely cut off the spiritual connection with Celia. It can be seen that she really didn't plan to get entangled with this issue again this time. After getting Celestina's answer, Celestina sighed helplessly, and then she opened her eyes again and looked at the crowd in front of her who were still quarreling.

Although your tone sounds like annoying your master... but my sister... I think you still trust him very much.

Celia should be fortunate that Celestina did not hear her inner self talking to herself on the spot.

"Ah Yeh!"

Rhode rubbed his nose, raised his head and looked at the extremely dark hole in front of him. Unlike the traces that had been manually excavated and mined before, there was still a strong natural essence here. The cold, low-hanging stalactites were everywhere on the top of his head, and the ground under his feet was not flat, and even a little slippery. Rhode had long been used to such an environment. However, Emily was still following behind him with bumps and bumps. It could be seen that for such a young lady, the current environment was still too strict. But even so, Emily still said nothing, but gritted her teeth and was still working hard.

She doesn't know yet.

Looking at Emily who was insisting, Rhode raised his brow. He had already obtained the situation outside from Celia. As he had imagined, after learning that Edward was dead, his men immediately became active - power, eternal bait, there was no easier fish to catch. Edward was dead, and Emily was not there. In this case, what future would the Edward Chamber of Commerce have? And...

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but look at Emily again.

After she returned to the ground, what was waiting for her was probably not the Edward Chamber of Commerce in the past. Will she continue to stay here at that time?

"Miss Sailon?"

At this moment, a sound came out in front of him again, which was the sound of weapons colliding and the sound of people talking. He could even vaguely see a few rays of light. After seeing this scene, Emily stopped and shouted uneasy. When she heard her call, Rhode smiled slightly, then reached out and held her hand.

"Don't worry, come with me, Miss Emily. Don't worry. There will be no problem."

Speaking of this, Rhode held up the torch with his left hand and pulled Emily with his right hand and walked forward with great strides. Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel, and then the two turned around the cave at the corner and came to the place where the light was emitted--soon, they saw what they wanted to see.

In the wide mine in front of you, magic crystals shining with light bloomed around like flowers. In the middle of the garden of these magic crystals, several fully armed men were standing. After hearing the footsteps, these men also turned around instantly and drew out their weapons at the same time. When they saw Rhode and Emily, both sides were stunned.

It's no wonder. After all, this is deep in the mine. It's a strange thing for anybody to meet two ladies here. What surprised Rhodes was that there was not a half miner in this magic crystal mine! The men standing in front of them were fully armed, wearing iron armor, holding a powerful crossbow, and carrying swords and shields behind them. No matter how you look at it, they are all private soldiers and adventurers!

But how could there be adventurers here? The mine is a private territory and adventurers are absolutely not allowed to enter. Who are these people? Why are they in the Howard family's mine? Could it be that the Howard family has fallen to this point? Even their own mines can't be watched? This is unscientific... Moreover, at such a sensitive moment, isn't it a bit too strange for these people to appear suddenly?

"Who are you?!!"

Seeing Rod and others, one of the men immediately started to angrily. As he moved, everyone around him also raised the crossbow in his hands and aimed at Rod and Emily in front of him. At this time, Emily also hurriedly stood up. Compared to Rod, she obviously knew more about the Howard family.

"Uncle Carter, it's me, I'm Emily!!"

"Emily?"

Hearing Emily's shout, the man frowned. He stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to stay calm. Then he narrowed his eyes in confusion, looked Emily up and down carefully, and then asked in surprise.

"It's really you, what's wrong with you? What happened? Who is this woman? What are you doing here?"

"That's right, Uncle Carter, our mine has a problem - it collapsed, and there are monsters attacking us, so we had no choice but to run here. Unexpectedly, they ran to Uncle Carter's mine......" I don't know if it was an illusion, when I heard Emily say "monster|", Rod Octavia discovered that the man's expression showed a little weirdness, which made him frown involuntarily, and then carefully looked at the other party. Soon, Rod discovered that these people were not only wearing weird clothes, but also what they were holding was just as weird. They did not hold mining tools, but some weird decorations that looked like some mysterious symbols. This was obviously not used to decorate in the mine, nor was it used to worship gods.

It seems that things are not that simple...
