Lightning was silent.

She knew Edith was right. If the hole was indeed extremely deep as Edith had described, she could almost predicate the fatality of the fall. If it was because of some intervention of Fran’s magic power, the situation would then be even more complicated. There could be a gigantic God’s Stone of Retaliation at the bottom, in which case, she foresaw no great treachery. If there was, however, a trap set up by some unknown enemies, it would then be too dangerous for the rescue team.

There was a big chance that those swift sickle monsters and the worm carrier that had once devoured the demon’s Blackstone Pagoda were still lurking around the Great Snow Mountain. Without any alerts from Nightingale and Sylvie or the protection of the First Army, even the God’s Punishment Witches found it hard to bring Fran back safe and sound.

The little girl took a deep breath.

Exploration was essentially a risky business.

A good explorer should save his companion no matter under what circumstances.

She thus came up to the arguing witches and said, “Let me take a look down there. However we’re going to do that, we have to first know what’s going on before taking the next step.”

A blond man turned around and asked, “Your ability is…” Lightning remembered he was called Elena. Although she looked like a man by her appearance, the soul beneath the shell was literally an ancient witch from Taquila.

Lightning tapped her goggles on the head. “Flying. Judging from the current situation, I believe I’m better at scouting than you.”

Agatha frowned. “This isn’t a matter of convenience. How are you going to head back if you can’t apply your ability at the bottom of the cave? His Majesty said nobody should act alone in this operation, whether she’s a witch from the Witch Union or Taquila. Everybody should work together and cooperate with the First Army.”

“Tie a rope around my waist then.” Lightning disclosed all her plan. “Even if there’s really an anti-magic zone created by a God’s Stone of Retaliation, as long as you pull me up after I reach the bottom, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

To save a companion did not mean acting recklessly. Her father had told her numerous stories regarding horrible emergencies when she had been little. Lightning believed that most accidents would end up well as long as they took proper measures.

Because she was the greatest explorer even without her magic power!

Nightingale intercepted, “Let me go with her. I can walk along the precipice easily, for there’s no upside or downside in the misty world. Even if an enemy does emerge, I can come to her aid immediately.”

Wendy shook her head vigorously. “That would be as dangerous as acting alone. If there’s a trap down there, you two guys won’t be able to save yourselves. Don’t forget that there’re formidable enemies like Senior Demons in this world.”

“We’ll never abandon Fran. If you don’t go, I’ll go myself!” Elena blurted out in a low voice.

“Have you forgotten to obey orders after 400 years?” There’s a faint starchiness in Agatha’s voice. “In the name of the Taquila senior witches, I forbid you to act alone!”

“…” Hearing this, all the God’s Punishment Witches fell silent. Elena bit her lip. At length, she stepped a few paces back and made an apology by placing her hand on the chest.

“You don’t need to argue about it.” Edith ventured. “His Majesty instructed that we three parties must work together. Therefore, we just need to send the First Army down there, don’t we?”

“Did you find the way there?” Brian, the superintendent of the First Army, asked in surprise.
