I am not a returner Episode 329:
Treasure hunt (8)
“There! “Over there!”
As I followed the Baekmu River, I could see the entrance to the mine between tall rocks.
“If you go in there... KEEP!”
“Please wait a moment.”
Oh Jin, who caught Baek Moo-gang who was trying to run away, hid behind a rock and looked at the entrance to the tunnel.
‘There are no separate security forces.’
I endured the headache and activated the stigmata of Canis, but there were no demons that looked like security forces.
“What should we do, Oh Jin?”
“I’ll have to go in first.”
There was no other way to check whether Deimos’ territory was inside the mountain than by entering it directly.
“It looks like the entrance to an ant cave.”
“It will be quite complicated inside as well.”
I haven’t gone in yet.
There was no way the inside of the tunnel, which was carved entirely out of such a huge mountain, would not be complicated.
“Poppy, keep an eye on who comes in from around here.”
“purr!”
Poppy’s size did not allow her to enter the narrow tunnel, so she was left waiting outside.
Oh Jin lowered his voice as he carefully entered the entrance to the mine.
“Everyone, stop using magic from here on.”
There could have been a relic installed that senses magical power.
Ha-eun and Isabella nod their heads instead of answering.
“Huh?”
“Shh. “You can follow me quietly.”
In the case of the uncontrollable Baek Moo-gang, Isabella decided to take charge of the mark.
Slap, slap, slap.
I walked inside the damp tunnel.
Since I couldn’t use magical power, I wondered if I should make a simple torch, but there was a lighting device installed inside the tunnel, so there was no problem with visibility.
Cough! Kang! Cough!
I guess I went inside for about 10 more minutes.
The faint sound of a pickaxe could be heard from afar.
“....”
Ojin raised his hand to stop the group and then got down on one knee.
Ohjin, who was fiddling with the dirt at the bottom of the mine, grinned and raised the corners of his mouth.
“It is true that there is a road leading to Deimos’ territory within here.”
I muttered in a low voice.
“huh? “How do you know that?”
“It’s not an abandoned mine, but ore is still being mined for a long time.”
“...so?”
“The ore is still being mined, but there is no sign of it being taken outside.”
The gold was not buried in the form of gold bars.
The familiar gold was created by breaking the gold veins with a pickaxe and going through several refining processes on the dirt mixed with gold.
However, there is no sign that the gold-mixed earth pile was taken out of the mine shaft.
in other words.
This means that gold is being taken inside the mine, not outside.
“Oh oh. “When I think about it, that’s right.”
Ha-eun nodded with a low exclamation.
She swallowed dry saliva as she looked down at Ojin, who was squatting on the floor and examining the traces like a detective from some mystery comic.
“Woah, why does Ojini look so sexy all of a sudden?”
What are you talking about?
“Can I cosplay as Conan later?”
“I think if you cosplay that, people around you will die.”
And the culprit must be in here.
“Well, I didn’t make any great deductions, so why are you making such a fuss?”
“No, I just wanted to see Ojini cosplay.”
Why do you want to see something like that?
“It’s noisy. Let’s go over there.”
I carefully approached the place where I heard the sound of the pickaxe.
As I walked inside the winding tunnel, I saw a group of people working hard with pickaxes.
‘Lizardman?’
Of course.
Mine, a valuable force, was not directly working with the pickaxe.
“Yes, Mr. Ojin.”
“Okay.”
Two women preparing for battle as if they knew without having to say anything.
Before full-scale combat.
“Vega can you block out the surrounding sounds?”
[It will be possible if you expand the sanctuary.]
Using the sanctuary in the material world places a great burden on the constellation.
If the sanctuary had a minor effect of blocking sound, it could be fully expanded with some restrictions.
[Then I will spread my sanctuary first.]
Vega flew high and spread her arms wide.
A silver halo spread around and covered the factory.
“It’s an intruder!”
“human? “How can a human be here...?”
The demons guarding the factory quickly took out their weapons.
“Is it okay if I scold them?”
“Yes, you can scold me as much as you want.”
“lol! okay!”
Baekmugang rushed towards the demons with a bright smile.
That’s how the fighting began.
“Wow!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The battle itself didn’t take long.
There were quite a lot of troops guarding the factory, as much attention was paid to the factory facilities, but it was not enough to stop Ohjin and his group, who were incompetent.
“Ugh! No matter what, the old ghost came all the way here...”
The captured executive-level Mine must have recognized Baek Moo-gang and opened his eyes fiercely, chewing his lips.
He took out a communication relic from his chest and urgently tried to send a telegram to the main office.
“It won’t work.”
“Wow!”
Quack!
Ojin hit the spear and shattered Mine’s arms.
“Now, put this in your mouth.”
To prevent him from committing suicide like a jackal, he stuffed a towel in his mouth.
“town! “Ugh!”
A mine that twists its body like an insect.
“Mr. Oh Jin.”
After suppressing all the demons, Isabella went outside and looked around, then returned inside the factory.
“Luckily, I don’t think they noticed the situation here. But...”
Right now, it wasn’t discovered that Ojin and his group had invaded the territory.
“If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before we get caught.”
“I guess so.”
As news from the factory is cut off, information that an intruder has entered will spread within a few hours.
‘then.’
Ojin’s eyes shone sharply.
“We have to rob the warehouse before we get caught.”
“...You’re opening a warehouse?”
“huh.”
Since he is so fanatical about uncovering treasures, the amount of treasures he has accumulated so far must be considerable.
Unless you are carrying it around in a bundle, there will be a place in the castle to store the treasure.
“But that place will be the most heavily guarded.”
Robbing a treasure trove was more dangerous than sneaking into Deimos’ bedroom.
“are you okay.”
Ojin chuckled and turned his head towards Isabella.
“Do you know when people are most easily fooled?”
“...yes?”
Isabella tilts her head at the sudden question.
Without answering, Ojin lightly shrugged his shoulders and approached Mine, who was lying down with both broken arms.
“hey.”
“Ugh...!”
The fallen Mine looked up at Ojin with a pale, exhausted face.
Ohjin squatted down in front of him and tapped his shoulder in a friendly way.
“Can you help me?”
Hehehe.
A frightened hiccup escaped from Myne’s mouth.
