The biggest difference between the Demon Race and the human underground passages is... the Demon Race's passages don't have any lights in them.
According to what Greed said, the Demons either use their own night vision or bring their own lights, so they don't consider installing lights when building these underground passages.
And the tunnel we're taking this time is also somewhat different from the previous one, as we're now using the sewer system that was expanded from the original underground tunnel.
Of course, the only ones in the city were sewers, and as we followed the passage a bit in the direction of the enemy camp, the drainage part flowed directly into a large hole while we turned and headed to the other side.
"Greed, what used to be the underground passageway over here?"
"Well... the earliest purpose is unknown, anyway, according to the records, this area has many mausoleums ah, escape tunnels, private warehouses and the like, overlapping so they form a very large network of underground tunnels."
"Mausoleum? Aren't the demons partly transformed from human undead?"
"Then those of us native demons also have flesh, so naturally we need mausoleums as well."
"That's right."
"It always feels similar to the human world as well,"
Heiroli said.
"Even the Eastern Continent is full of these escape tunnels, some of which are several kilometers straight."
"That's pretty scary..."
I wiped my sweat and said.
Aren't you guys afraid that the ground will just collapse when you dig like this?
"All in all, let's keep going. Is it to ask what kind of monsters will be in this tunnel?"
Seeing her push open a door deep in the passage, I asked evenly.
"Well...that depends."
She spread her hands.
"After all, we don't use passageways like this very often."
"That's true, but you're familiar with this passage."
"Well..."
Greed shrugged.
"Since I occasionally find valuable things down here, I had nothing to do so I came here to play."
"........"
We all sweat that someone actually came to such a place for such a reason, and I silently look at Alicia.
"Ahem, well, it's indeed attractive, I'll come walk here some day."
"There's a chance."
Continuing on a bit further, the surrounding passages became even worse.
If the city's underground passageways were better manicured passageways, the section we just walked through was the usual mess we saw.
And now....
This is completely a mine that's already starting to collapse, okay?
Not many of the floor tiles were intact, and even some of the surrounding sections had sunk in. Where there were no bricks on top of the walls the black dirt had flowed out blocking half of the passage.
That's when I'll friendily summon the rock totem to hold the passage back before we go through.
None of us wanted some sort of passage collapse scenario, it would be troublesome to think of something like that.
However, even so things were more troublesome than we expected, not to mention the passageways that were somewhat blocked for most of the way due to collapse, and when we reached the end of this passage, an even bigger problem was in front of us.
That's right, as in most of the scenarios, the passage ahead was actually sealed with rocks, and it seemed to be blocked with a thick layer.
"Probably some beast accidentally damaged the floor and caused it to collapse, right? The last time I was here it hadn't collapsed."
"That's a real problem."
I looked at the entire passage, and there was absolutely no other passage beside it.
"What about this? Is there another preparatory route?"
"Well... there's definitely something, after all, the underground passageways lead in every direction, so I'm sure we can get around it."
Greed said as he looked at us.
"The question is do you have a map of the underground tunnels? It's hard for us to find the route without looking at the map, isn't it?"
"Well, I usually take the route I've taken and then keep exploring forward, so I take the route I know."
"That's really..."
Before I could finish, I heard a boom.
When I turned around, Tai Shi Xi next to me had already cut a hole in the top of the wall at some point.
"Ahhhhh! What are you doing!"
"Well? I knocked on the wall here, and it seemed empty, so I opened it."
"It's..."
I looked around and there didn't seem to be any signs of collapse, which sent me a sigh of relief.
"Well, think of it as exploration. Tai Shii, what does the passage next door lead to?"
"Well..."
The other side peered into the next door.
"Looks like... a passage in the same direction, and it looks so clean."
"Clean?"
Greed said in amazement and ran off.
"Oh oh oh, this tunnel... I can't believe how complete it is!"
"What does that tell you?"
"That means we may be inside a passage to a different mausoleum, or this is an unused escape route. Either way, it's very good for us."
"Great, I smell treasure."
Alicia said with a nod.
"Hey, hey, hey, I thought we were going to sneak in..."
I started to laugh bitterly.
"Well~"
Greed and Alicia said at the same time.
"Well by the way."
You two have the potential to be freak thieves oh.
