Mystic Dominator

Ronald actually has some little ideas of his own.

Influenced by the poem Tier he met in Entrod, he vaguely had an idea at this moment——

It is necessary to leave a certain degree of test to the people of this world.

Ronald himself does not pursue a long life or infinite power, nor is he obsessed with power. But out of the most basic moral concepts, he still has the idea of ​​caring for his fellow humans.

And a hundred years of security.

This is how Ronald helps his fellow citizens in this world.

As for a hundred years from now...

Faced with this trouble at that time, if humans could survive the test brought by the dust monster with their own strength. Then Ronald believes that people who have overcome this crisis together will surely be able to create their own future more independently and with self-reliance.

"..."

"My God, there's trouble here!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise emerged from a pile of earth and rocks ahead.

Just hearing this voice, before Ronald could turn his head, Nicole, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but start to move closer.

There is no longer any obstacle in front of me in two or three steps.

The two of them saw a cute creature in a puppet suit crying in the pile of dirt and rocks.

Ronald recognized its prototype.

This is the cave creature that originally lived here.

But under the power of "Maze Picture Book", their current appearance has become very cute, and they can even communicate with Ronald by speaking human words.

Ronald, who was in a hurry to escape from here, was naturally not very interested in this guy. After all, this was not like the last time in Springs, where cats and dogs that were friendly to humans could help them.

But Nicole is different.

The investigator girl's mind was completely controlled by her inner curiosity at this moment, and she even started to act coquettishly towards Ronald:

"Ronald~~"

"Let's wait a little longer,

Let me hear what else it has to say! "

"..."

Everyone in Ronald was dumbfounded.

But then, Nicole’s curiosity played a crucial role.

Although the cave creature was still yelling out of control, the content it shouted did provide useful information to Ronald and the other two:

"It's hopeless, it's hopeless! I can't live this life!"

"A sudden earthquake destroyed my home, and then even dangerous creatures like humans came here... No! I must join my companions, and we all run upward from the tunnel that was dug some time ago."

"I heard it's very cold on the ground, but no matter what I think, it's much better than this place where there are noisy people and earthquakes!"

"..."

Ronald glanced at Nicole, and the girl who created the 'earthquake' in the mouth of the cave creature turned her head guiltily and avoided Ronald's sight.

"well--"

After sighing slightly, Ronald began to analyze quickly in his mind.

The current situation, on the one hand, is that the predatory individual of the dust giant Baichuan is about to form, and it will not take long for these pursuers to arrive above; on the other hand, it is the action of the cave creature in front of him. After sighing, It immediately crawled towards the east, obviously preparing to do what it just said.

The choice suddenly appeared before me.

It is to try to return to the ground based on the direction you came down from.

Or should they choose to take a risk and try the information this cave creature has to offer them?

"..."

"Come on, let's run in its direction."

Time did not allow Ronald to hesitate, and he made a decision quickly.

In essence, Ronald is an adventurous person. If the cave creature in front of him can provide a shortcut to escape underground quickly...

So this choice.

He thought it was worth taking the risk.

"Okay! Hurry up! Let's hurry up!" Nicole, who was curious, naturally expressed her full support for Ronald's choice, "Let's go this way, it will be fine!"

Having made the decision, Ronald immediately entered the maze in front of him with Nicole.

Because the cave terrain was violently changed by Nicole's spell, on the originally flat ground here, you can occasionally see pitted ground cracks blocking the road.

Facing these structures that looked like dry bagels, the two of them spent a lot of effort to finally get around this section of the road, and then saw the dark tunnel attached to the rock wall.

"It seems like this is it."

Ronald stepped forward to take a look at the situation.

Inside this tunnel, there is a long wooden ladder that appeared from nowhere, extending all the way to a very high position.

If you want to move up from this underground world, this is the only way.

"Ronald, I'm here to explore the way this time!"

As soon as Ronald finished speaking, Nicole passed behind him, then rushed forward and jumped in front of the long ladder.

The investigator girl showed no fear at all.

I saw her immediately moving her lovely hands and feet, clumsily starting to climb down the long ladder.

While advancing like this, Nicole didn't even forget to greet Ronald below:

"Ronald, follow me quickly!"

"There is almost no problem of physical loss in this spell. Our movements can be as bold as possible!"

"..."

This guy obviously entered the world of "Labyrinth Picture Book" for the first time.

But how come I feel more comfortable with it than I, a person who has experienced it once?

Watching Nicole's figure move upward quickly.

Ronald couldn't help but have such thoughts in his mind.

"..."

Shaking his head slightly and sighing at Nicole's liveliness, Ronald stopped talking and followed closely up the long ladder.

The tunnel in which this long vertical staircase is located is surprisingly long.

It is more than two hundred meters long.

In the real world, it is definitely a torturous job.

Ronald and Nicole climbed straight up the ladder, even across the formation, and then straight into the depths of the ice where the Arctic ice cap is located.

"..."

"Hey, hey, it's so beautiful here!"

When the two reached the end of the long staircase, Nicole couldn't help but sigh.

The end of the long staircase tunnel is deep into a crack in the ice. Under the cartoon style of "Maze Picture Book", the monotonous and boring ice here has turned into crystal clear ice, like a dreamy crystal. castle.

A girl of Nicole's age.

I'm afraid I can't help myself when I see such beautiful scenery in books, let alone being in it myself now.

And I saw the investigator girl looking so excited and happy.

Ronald was naturally in a good mood.

Just considering the current situation of the two of them, he still walked forward a little embarrassingly, reached out and patted Nicole on the shoulder:

"Nicole, we are still on the run."

Although she really likes the environment here, Nicole herself is not so addicted that she can't help herself or even ignores reality.

He immediately nodded to Ronald.

She immediately picked up her cute little feet and took a step forward:

"Ouch, I slipped!"

There were exclamations.

With just one kick, the investigator girl slid directly on the ice.
