The Dean Has Arrived

"We cast the Mage's Eye before, but as long as we go a certain distance into the cave, we lose contact."

Dinag, a special-appointed magician from Hornhag, used earth elemental magic to create something similar to a black class, and while drawing a schematic diagram on it with magic power, he explained to a total of fifty-two members of the exploration team.

"Therefore, we can infer that there may be an area with extremely sparse magic elements in a certain section below this cave. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is a strange terrain like a dry rift that will naturally drain magic power. In other words, There is also a lot of danger in entering this pit through magic such as flying."

As he spoke, he took a hemp rope from his assistant, straightened it and showed it to others.

Just when Xi Wei thought it was a new magic tool developed by the Qiyao Mage Association, Dinag continued: "So we plan to tie a rope around the waist and hang it down slowly."

Peat, it turns out it's just a real rope. Hey!

As a model for all magical forces to learn from, don't you really feel ashamed to come up with this kind of thing!

Judging from the indescribable expressions on the faces of the other magicians, they should be thinking about the same as Xi Wei now.

In short, when there is no other way, the other magicians can only follow what he said, tie the waist with a rope, leaning on the rock wall like a mountaineer, and slowly descend.

The first test subject... Cough, I mean the brave man who explores the unknown is from Hornhag, and he is Clark, the apprentice of the high-level magician Dinag. A senior junior magician.

The young man whose age was equivalent to two Tio's had tears in his eyes, looking pitifully at his mentor. It seems that he is expressing his desire not to lead the way.

So his teacher kicked him down very kindly.

As the junior magician's screams became smaller and smaller, the rope left on the ground became shorter and shorter.

"Master Dinag, it has already exceeded 1,800 meters."

The magician who was in charge of the operation said to Dinagle who was standing by the pit and looking down: "The rope-making technique can no longer keep up with the shortening speed of the rope."

"Isn't it estimated?" Dinag smacked his lips.

At present, the deepest mine dug by hand in the eastern plain is 2,000 meters long—after all, with the convenience of earth elemental magic, the mine is much easier to set up than on earth.

The deepest natural cave in the eastern plain is only about 1,700 meters. It is said that there are gray dwarves and the magical creature Karamia living in it. However, there are only eyewitness records at present, and there is no definite evidence.

It was precisely because of this that Dinago only carried 1,500 meters of hemp rope and a pile of raw materials. In his mind, even if the rope is not enough, it can be replenished through the rope making technique.

But the depth of the cave in front of him has far exceeded his imagination.

"What about Clark's reaction?" Dinag asked again.

"The magic power feedback rate is good, and there is no other change in physical condition except for being a little frightened."

The magician who had sensed through the rope replied immediately.

After a while, the shortening of the rope stopped suddenly.

Dinag was shocked: "Has Clark reached the ground?"

"Not yet, but Mr. Clark is stuck on the rock wall and seems unwilling to continue down." The magician's voice was a little helpless: "Also, the depth is now more than 4,000 meters, and all our materials have been used up. If you continue to detect, you can only connect other ropes to this rope first."

Dinagle was obviously quite dissatisfied with his student's fear of death, and cursed a few words softly.

At this time, Xi Wei, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped out: "Sorry, I'm actually quite interested in exploring caves."

He ignored Vincent's stop, and said to Dinag with a smile, "Why don't I explore this cave instead?"

"Oh? You're Edric's..."

Dinag looked at Edric's standard magic robe on Xi Wei. I couldn't pronounce his name for a while.

"Edward Alphonse."

Xi Wei immediately interjected.

"Edward, what a good name. I know that there are several high-ranking magicians named Edward... There are a lot of alchemists."

Dinag first casually praised Xi Wei's pseudonym, and then said: "But exploring caves is a dangerous thing after all, at least we can't be sure what will happen next—to be honest. Although my disciple Cowardly and afraid of death, he always sticks to the rules and does not know how to change. But his solid foundation is one of the best among all junior magicians, and as my student, he still has some means to save his life. This time I sent He went to explore for the purpose of training him... and you, Edward, your dean is not here. Although Mr. Vincent also has the strength of the middle level, but I'm sorry, I'm afraid he is not strong yet To the extent that it can protect you in an emergency."

After talking a lot, Dinag stared into Xi Wei's eyes: "Even so, Edward, do you still want to replace my apprentice and go explore this cave where everything is unknown?"

"Yes."

Xi Wei nodded: "My dean once said that the biggest reason why human beings can surpass other races is that we never give up on the unknown, the world, the exploration of mysteries, and the pursuit of truth. As a magician, I feel it is an honor to be able to explore this unknown world with my own hands.”

"Oh, this is really... what you said is amazing, forgive me for being a little excited..." Dinager, who was a little older, wiped the corners of his eyes, and then twisted his nose again: "It is rare to see You are such a young man. After you graduate from Edric, are you interested in working in Hohenheig?"

"Sorry, Dinag first, I'm only in the first grade, and I haven't made any specific plans for my situation after graduation."

Xi Wei graciously declined the other party's invitation.

Afterwards, Dinag sighed with pity, and at the same time used the activation rope on the hemp rope, and pulled up the apprentice who was still hanging on the other end.

Leaving aside how that coward hugged his teacher after he came up, and wiped all the snot and tears from his frightened face on Dinag's black robe, Xi Wei dexterously tied the rope around his waist , stood at the edge of the pit, gestured to Vincent that there was no problem, bowed to the old mage Dinag, and jumped down the sinkhole.
