The travel inside the tunnel is going smoothly, without any obstacles from the mamonos. After 10 minutes in the tunnel we stop. It's not a break, you know.
「It's good here」
I'm using earth aptitude's magic – Mineral Search. This Mineral Search is an advanced class magic, although it's isn't well known among earth attribute magician, it's a famous magic between miners. Normal mineral search magic range is 20m, but, with my enormous mana pool, I could get a 100m range of mineral search. Sand, and earth, along with rocks, I eliminate the useless information which is unneeded for me, and only keep the mineral resources' information. After 1 hour of such work, I expand the range of mineral search.
Although this tunnel is already abandoned, there are still many iron ore signals. Unfortunately, the above part of the tunnel is empty, so we couldn't find any deposits.
I wrote『↑60I』and instruct Primera to keep going.
This『↑60I』 sign means there's still an iron ore 60m above.
There're occasional reactions from the iron ores' while using the magic, but none of the God's Silver Ore that I seek, for 3 hours.
「Christoph-sama, about the previous sign you wrote, What does it mean?」
Wondering about what's I'm doing, Primera asked a question.
「That's the location and distance of the ores I found using Mineral Search I left」
「Mineral Search?・・・Desu ka」
「Mineral Search is a magic to search ores. However, the range is 20m, still, I can extend it to 100m. So, I can search for any ore deposits that have still not been found, you can just think it's a convenient magic of mine」
「As usual, Christoph-sama is a person outside a normal standard」
I heard Levis muttering, but I'll ignore that and continue my explanation.
「There's still a big response from the middle, so this mine has yet to run out」
「Amazing. With Christoph-sama here, Bryutzels house will be safe」
">Apart from being safe or not, there's no problem with Bryutzels house' resources.
Slowly enjoying the break then goes further the tunnel. Because I'm using Mineral search while walking, we advanced slowly. I decided to take another break after 3 hours.
「Water ring's water is cold and delicious. Many of Christoph-sama's magic items are useful huh. I'm being saved 」
Primera drank the deliciously cold water while rocking her cattail over and over.
「It's about 70% of the tunnel in the map huh」
「Further inside there's a big space, let's make a camp there and investigate more tomorrow」
「「Understood」」
t's a dungeon・・・shouldn't we go back to the camp first?」
「I also want to do that, but then, our time would be diminished. Let's just camp here」
I truly regret my decision this time, because of the event not long after.
「Primera, be on watch, I'll make the tent」
「Yes」
I sat on a nearby rock and rest my tired body. Of course, I take precaution with my mana sense. As expected of a knight, that's been through a training, Primera and Levis look relaxed. Levis using full plate armor with sword and shield at his hips, so he must be using much more stamina than me, who only has some baggage in my backpack・・・ But he still has that relaxed face! Explode you ikemen!
After finishing setting the tent, Levis prepared the meals. Primera's eyesight is good for being a watch, while Levis doing the odd works for me, it seems that Gale has good eyesight. (TN: for he's able to think what Chris need in the mine… )
Primera went to draw some water into the lake while watching the surroundings for any threat.
It was then.
I feel the flow of mana and turn my head to the location, the magic circle suddenly appeared and emitting dazzling light. As expected, because it's too sudden, I've got no chance to interfere with the magic circle. Thus I regret that worst mistake I made immediately.
After several seconds, the dazzling light stopped and I can, at last, opened my eyes and we see the worst thing before us.
「*gasp*!」
「That's!」
The first to react is Levis, and soon Primera follows.
「Ha! Primera, Christoph-sama!」
Levis that's been unconscious shouted, to call us back.
「Gururururu」
I immediately understood that I couldn't escape. Probably, Levis and Primera also realized. The reason for that is a door, which suddenly appeared, blocking our way out. I also can feel the mana in that door. ・・・Perhaps we could do nothing about the door unless we've done something to the guys in front of us.
However・・・it's weird, that I can't feel the mana of that circle until now. For such a magic circle to not be perceived・・・how did I overlook it?・・・It's impossible! Damn it! It's the worst mistake! Am I being self-conceited?
That's・・・shouldn’t be so・・・or so I think.
