I am not a regressor episode 329
Treasure hunt (8)
“excuse me! “Over there!”
As I followed the Baekmu River, I could see the entrance to the mine between tall rocks.
“If you go in there… “Kk!”
“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.
‘The security forces… ‘Isn’t there something else?’
I endured the headache and activated the Stigmata of the Hound, but there were no demons that looked like security forces.
“What should we do, Mr. Ojin?”
“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.
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.
“… … .”
Oh Jin 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.
“Ooh, why does our Ozini look so s*xy 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.
A demonic beast that looked similar to a lizardman was chained and silently continuing to use a pickaxe.
“I think it’s Salamander.”
A minority race that originally lived in the Black Rock Mine.
Unlike the beast people and dragon people, they were not highly intelligent, but they were still intelligent enough to form a primitive tribal society, and were forced into mining slavery by Deimos.
‘It’s like the old colonial times.’

When I saw the Salamander chained up and continuing to use a pickaxe, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth.
Now was not a time to even think about their lives.
“Kiruk! “Girl!”
Two salamanders were seen pulling a minecart full of dirt somewhere.
Ojin and his party followed Salamander without any trace.
Perhaps the Salamanders did not notice the presence of Ojin and the others, perhaps because they did not have much ability to detect presence, or because they did not have enough time to care about anyone else in the first place.
Let’s walk down the long shaft following the mine cart.
‘here… The territory of Deimos.’
Beyond the sign that said ‘Glory to Gold’, an underground city was visible.
According to Isabella’s guess that she had created a fiefdom within the mountain, several buildings were located beneath the Black Rock Mine.
‘The scale itself is not that big.’
Perhaps because the number of demons was so small, Deimos’ territory built underground was not very large.
Only the splendid castle, presumed to be that of Deimos, boasted its own majesty, but the rest of the buildings had a fairly plain appearance.
‘Is it because he wants to make his last name stand out?’
It was a city that perfectly fit Deimos’ greedy personality.
“… “The entire crazy castle is made of gold.”
Ha-eun stuck her tongue out as she looked at the golden castle illuminated by colorful lights.
Just by looking at that castle, I could immediately understand why Deimos is called ‘Golden Deimos’.
“Bad people! “Is there a bad person in that castle?!”
Baek Moo-gang’s eyes twinkled as he grabbed a rusty iron sword and tried to charge into the castle.
Ojin quickly grabbed Baekmugang by the back and hid himself in a crevice in the rock.
“Wait.”
“why? “I heard there’s a bad person over there?”
Baek Mu-gang tilts his head as if he doesn’t know why he’s holding him back.
“It is dangerous to attack head-on.”
In a situation where there was no information about how strong Deimos was or how powerful the knights under his command were, it was impossible to attack the castle blindly.
“Wow. okay. “I’ll listen to what Ojin says.”
Baek Moo-gang, who thought he would go out of his way to find the treasure, obeyed Oh Jin calmly, unexpectedly.
“My grandmother said you should listen to good people.”
Baek Moo-gang sits quietly on the floor with a bright smile.
Oh Jin left the Baekmugang River behind and looked at the view of the underground city once again.
‘There is no need to fight Deimos.’
The goal is to recover Baekmugang’s stolen treasure.
‘First of all, I need information.’
The treasure could not be stolen without any information.
I was looking around to see if there was anything I could get information about.
“Mr. Oh Jin. “I think that’s a gold refining facility.”
Two Salamanders pulling a mine cart were seen entering what looked like a huge factory.
“Let’s follow along.”
Since he was said to be fanatical about gold, it was clear that he must have put a lot of effort into the gold refining facilities.
“Aren’t these moving fast?!”
When entering the factory, unlike the tunnel where there were no surveillance troops, several demons were seen urging the Salamanders.
“That means the delivery date is today!”
“Move quickly!”
Wow!
The demons holding whips hit the Salamander on the back.
The Salamander slave threw the pile of dirt he had brought on the cart into the mechanism with a contorted expression of pain.
Ojin slowly looked at the faces of the demons who were watching the Salamanders.
Although most of them were showing less force than the ‘Golden Knights’ they had faced before.
One of them.
There was a demon looking down at the Salamanders with his arms crossed.
‘Are you the manager of this factory?’
The armor the demon was wearing was plated with gorgeous gold, just like the one the jackal was wearing.
A demon race that appears to be at least an executive level or higher.
“Hmm?”
Indeed, unlike Salamander, Ohjin and his group detected his presence as soon as they entered the factory.
Mine, who was looking down at Salamander with his arms crossed, turned his gaze to Ojin and the others.
“Isabella, sister.”
“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 we expand our ministry.]
Although using a 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 perform my ministry 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 humans… ?”
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 100% incompetent.
“Ugh! No matter what, the old ghost ends up here… .”
The captured executive-level Mine chewed his lips and opened his eyes fiercely, as if he recognized Baek Moo-gang.
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… .”
For now, it was not discovered that Ojin and his party had infiltrated 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.”
“… Are you 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.
