CHAPTER 127: BEHIND THE BLACK DOOR
As we walked for a while, a number of holes began to appear that intersected the cave and led up and down, making it look like a maze.
Borok-san walked through such a path without even checking the map.
I followed him into a hole, climbed up the stairs, turned left at the crossroads, and descended a rope ladder.
I don’t think I can go back to the space where the giant slime was on my own.
“Borok-ran, what is this place…?”
I wondered at the artificial caverns that stretched out in every direction.
“This is an old mine.
It’s already dug up and abandoned.” (Borok)
I see, it used to be a mine, which explains the labyrinthine and endless structure… But if so, why was he in such a place? I have some doubts, but if I say that, I can’t say anything about myself.
So I swallowed my questions.
“OK, we’ve arrived.” (Borok)
As he said this, Borok-san gestured ahead.
At the tip of his finger was a large door.
It was about two meters high, double-sided, and appeared to be made of black metal.
It looked sturdy, but I guess that’s to be expected when you have Black Slimes like that.
Borok-san walked up to the door and pulled the metal ring attached to it toward him, and the door creaked open.
As I watched the scene, I wondered if I would finally be able to go outside–
“Welcome to the dwarf village, I suppose?” (Borok)
Mr.
Borok told me to be a little scared.
The black door leads to a three-meter-wide road.
Stone houses lined up on both sides of the street.
I see, this is the home of the dwarves… With that in mind, I followed Borok-san through the door and entered the village.
After walking for a while, I saw something that looked like a temple.
I thought about it for a moment and was convinced that I had seen something like it before.
It was similar to the temple where the giant slime had been.
“…”
Well… there are two big problems.
First of all, we’re still in the cave.
This is a village built in a large cavern, the same place where the giant slime was found.
I thought the door would lead outside, but I was disappointed to find myself still inside the cave.
And one more thing…
“Well… Borok-san… I feel like there is no one else here.”
When I asked him that, he looked over his shoulder as he walked.
“I told you before, this place is already an abandoned mine.
I’m the only one who lives here.” (Borok)
After saying this, Borok-san turned his head forward again.
From the very beginning, there was not a single person to be seen in this village.
When I opened the door, I was surprised to see that it was completely dark, with no lights leaking from anywhere.
Well, it’s true, if you’ve dug up all the mines, you probably don’t need to build a village in a place like this.
…I mean, can you call it a village when there is only one person living there?
“Hmm… It’s a little damp.”
After a while, Borok-san halted as he said this.
He immediately began to chant a spell.
“Wind, into my hand, [Breeze].” (Borok)
He raised his right hand and blasted the wind around him as if he were blowing something around, and after doing so for a while, he said, ” I guess that’s it,” and started walking again.
“What is it you do?”
“Hmm? You don’t know? When dampness builds up in a cave, it makes it impossible for people to live.
It must be dispersed with a little gust of wind.
Any dwarf who goes underground knows this.” (Borok)
So that’s it.
Hmm… the dampness of the air, isn’t it? It’s true that the air tends to stagnate in a cave, but… is it something that can be scattered by a weak wind using [Breeze]?
