Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

The passage was initially very narrow, barely wide enough for two people to pass through. It wasn't until Victor and Laura had traveled several hundred meters that the passage gradually widened.

However, the road also shows a downward trend.

Seeing that Laura didn't hesitate, Victor followed, but he couldn't help asking:

"Is this still the Selene region?"

Upon hearing this, Laura, who had been reflecting on the passage of time almost the entire way, fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

Not only do they not speak, but they also don't have any thoughts in their minds.

The silence was broken only a few seconds later by the senior student's soft voice, transmitted through a telepathic connection:

"This place no longer belongs to Selene."

Viktor's gaze darkened slightly.

It doesn't belong to it now, which means that it used to belong to Selene.

Thinking this, he silently activated [God's Perspective], and then paused in his steps.

Because the field of vision began to rise rapidly again.

However, since he already knew that the [God's Perspective] was unrestricted, he quickly closed his eyes, forcibly interrupting the activation of the effect.

"This place belongs to Selene a hundred years ago."

Just then, Laura's soft voice continued, sounding somewhat regretful.

Viktor opened his eyes and continued to follow the other person, glancing down at him at the same time.

Seeing that the other person's eyes were lowered, he immediately knew that the other person might know about the past of this place, and suddenly remembered something that was not very important.

He hadn't asked Laura which year the other person was a student in.

However, before he could continue to ponder, a faint glow appeared in front of him.

Then came the sound of flowing water.

"An underground river?"

Laura's question echoed in Viktor's mind: "When I came here with my mentor, there shouldn't have been a river here."

As they spoke, the two continued on their way and soon arrived at the source of the sound.

There is indeed an underground river here, which not only cuts through the passage, but also looks very wide, and you can see right to the bottom.

This is because a fluorescent aquatic plant grows at the bottom of the water.

But what surprised Laura the most was that there was a crudely made bridge on the river, with hemp rope as a chain and wooden planks as a base.

"After all these years, are there residents living down here now?"

Laura muttered to herself.

Victor also stared at the wooden bridge, pondering Laura's thoughts, and then stepped onto the bridge.

The bridge only swayed slightly and remained relatively stable.

He stood on it and looked to the left and right, and immediately noticed something.

"The left side is higher than the right, so it seems to have flowed down from upstream where the 'Incarnation of Greed' is located."

If you could follow this river upstream, you could probably reach the bottom of the waterfall, but that would be too risky.

Viktor muttered to himself as he spoke.

Laura nodded, agreeing with the statement.

There was no underground river like this here a hundred years ago. If something happened during that time that led to the birth of the "embodiment of greed,"

That waterfall and this underground river probably appeared together at that time, right?

"The answer might be just ahead, but before that, I think you should collect some fluorescent grass first."

Hearing the voice in his mind, Victor nodded slightly to the senior student, then summoned [Hand of the Mage] and plunged into the water.

Just as the ghostly hand entered the water, he suddenly felt a strong sense of being watched from the other side of the bridge.

He immediately turned his head and saw a short, dark shadow flash by.

"..."

Viktor didn't exclaim; he simply turned his gaze away silently, pretending not to see the other person.

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, thanks to [Magic Affinity], he could clearly see that there was magic flowing within the dark figure.

If there's anything that lives in the cave layers and hides when it sees people, it's most likely a goblin or a mischievous imp.

But their body types don't fit the bill.

"What's wrong?"

Laura noticed that Victor had just glanced at the other side of the bridge, so she couldn't help but look over there, but saw nothing. She then communicated telepathically.

"There are gray dwarves nearby."

Victor made no attempt to hide anything, confidently conveying his guess.

The dark figure was rather short; although I couldn't see it clearly, its build was definitely that of a dwarf. Moreover, there aren't many creatures that would live in such a place and possess magical abilities.

The gray dwarf is the perfect fit!

"..."

Laura raised an eyebrow and glanced at the other side of the bridge out of the corner of her eye.

"Those cunning slave traders could indeed be here, but why would they hide?"

Laura confirmed Victor's guess via telepathy, then calmly withdrew her gaze and looked down at the mage hand harvesting the fluorescent grass.

Although she hasn't seen the gray dwarf Victor mentioned yet, she's mostly convinced of his story and plans to cooperate.

If I had to ask why, it would be that throughout the journey, my junior has appeared calm and composed, as if he has everything under control, including now.

"..."

Seeing this, Victor knew that the senior student understood his meaning, and he also silently observed the mage's hands working, as if he really knew nothing.

On the other side of the bridge,

The gray dwarf, who had returned, hid behind the stone wall and looked at the two people who were still standing on the bridge without making any move, giving them a look of disbelief.

"call......"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and reached for the bundle at his waist: "I thought you had already discovered me, but it turns out you hadn't."

After saying that, he took out a medicine bottle filled with dark black powder.

"Very good, you all just stand there and don't move. It will be over soon."

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with greed for the two people on the bridge.

As a slave trader, this desire was innate to him, especially after seeing these two strikingly good-looking slaves, which compelled him to take action.

With a "pop," the cork was pulled off by the gray dwarf.

He covered his nose, slowly aimed the bottle at the wooden bridge, and forcefully poured out some of the dark black dust.

As soon as the dust was released, it mixed with the magic in the air and quickly transformed into an almost imperceptible black gas that spread outwards.

"it is good."

The gray dwarf slowly retreated, quickly withdrawing more than ten meters away.

Immediately afterwards, a faint magical light appeared on his body, and the next second he turned into a boulder clinging tightly to the rock wall.

This is the Grey Dwarves' signature skill, the Invisibility spell, which is also an innate magic of theirs.

It was this magic that made him look exactly like a real rock, giving him the confidence to hide not far from his prey.

"Wait a little longer, just a little longer... it will be over soon."

He whispered impatiently to himself, listening to the babbling of the water not far away, feeling as if a cat was scratching at his heart.

Little did he know, in the very instant he had concealed himself...

The two people on the bridge exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a meaningful smile.
