Chapter 805 (2/2)
”No, but I found this” Edith pointed to the cliff closed to the entrance In the torchlight, the reflective light specks on the river splintered up into flickering gli equipment on the concrete boat used to make oatmeal, for I often see the soldiers transport food froh a crane They don't do it manually”
”Ah that's the gondola” Brian nodded ”It can transport a lot of goods at a tiine”
”So, we just need to un squads down there along with the witches,” Edith stressed each syllable with a stroke ”The length of the rope can be adjusted through a connector; the God's Punish heavy uarantee a constant operation as well as a retreat route required by His Majesty The only question is how to take it down I believe the First Arht?”
Brian replied hesitatively, ”We definitely can take it down, but it's hard to put it back”
Edith raised her brows ”Then you'll only lose a boat and a steaold royals What choice do you think His Majesty would make if he were you?”
Lightning twitched her lips 500 or 600 gold royals was absolutely not a small number
It did not take long for Brian to ave a nod of approval and said, ”I see You'll soon find a steao”
An hour later, a roaring machine appeared at the entrance to the hole As they found it hard to fix the arondola to the rocks, they abandoned this part of the device in the end but only used a capstan as the lifting apparatus The capstan rotated swiftly as the flywheel of the steaine moved It thus dropped the rope down the hole little by little In order to prevent chafe, Agatha summoned her power and wrapped the mouth of the hole with solid ice so that the rope could ainst the cliff
A huge iron basket, which could at least carry six to eight people and two Mark I type HMGs, was attached to the end of the rope In that case, the witches would be still well protected by the powerfulcapacities
Agatha, Elena, and six soldiers from the First Ar and Nightingale
After testing out the lifting equipht above becaly dismal
Lightning hovered somewhere a little below the center of the hole to lead the ith a rope around her waist She felt a little uneasy without Maggie flying beside her, but she knew someone must be stationed outside the snowdemonic beasts, she preferred to uncover the round ruin
Every time she dropped 10 meters lower, she would turn around to see if everybody was still there
Darkness sed up the ht of fires lit by the sentries The only source of light noas the two Stones of Lighting in the basket In the steady, soft light of the stones, Lightning detected two pale golden ”ribbons” running along the cliff They were the ice created by Agatha The solid ice s them as reflective as a mirror, and thus ensured them a safe ride down to the bottom
Lightning's heart gradually sank after she flew for a few hundred meters
An ordinarydrop She now only hoped that the devouring worer than that
Just at that e reflection underneath
The light was hardly perceptible It was merely a thin thread of flickers like an eye that suddenly opened in the darkness Lightning signaled the rest of the party with the Stone of Lighting She plunged into the hole while holding her breath, after which, she stepped on a solid, smooth rock
Lighting bent over and gently touched the ”ground” The glealassy as a crystal Its dark reflection was ht red color
She had seen this
It was the giant Blackstone PaGoda in the Devil's Town
