Chapter 20 (2/2)
“Eek!”
“I know you’ll be selling it for over 1,000 goldDon’t ive me the money”
“You are young, and you’ve been stuck in this Dungeon for a yearSo how are you so knowledgeable about the market prices!?”
In the end, she took the helm from hi the gold
“A large diic spell was placed on this pouchThe price of this pouch is 50 gold, so I’ve place 730 gold withinYou probably don’t want to carry around the entirety of the 780 goldPlease dothis deal!”
“All rightI’ll overlook it”
It was a plain looking leather pouch, yet it orth 50 gold!Maetel’s eyes spun, but Artpe didn’t show any surpriseHe took the pouch
In truth, he possessed another diold within that pouchTheir party now possessed old
“So, there is only one thing leftIsn’t this just an egg?”
“Aju?”
The long sword and the helhtHowever, everyone had a hard tiht
It was an egg that was small, black, and oval-shapedWhen one touched it, one could feel the pulse of life from within itMaetel’s mouth salivated as she looked down at it
“Do you think this will be tasty, Artpe?”
“I want you to think of it as sohtDo you want to eat it when you know that fact?”
“I’ry!”
Did she really want to eat it?Artpe let out a sigh as he flicked Maetel on her foreheadThen he put away the egg
“It is a Chaos Egg born artificially by the Record LinkIt is ridiculous to think that death was able to give life, but…Since the Record Link had rarely been used throughout history, it is tough to come to a definite conclusion”
It would be funny if a Death Knight popped out froHowever, he didn’t that would be the case
He had thoroughly checked it with his Read All Creation ability, but the only inforlean was its nameBasically, he won’t knoill be born until the Chaos Egg hatches
“What will be born from it?If Artpe and my love can…”
“I don’t knohat you are thinking about, but that won’t happen”
“HeengArtpe, stop being mean to me”
He had no idea how he should incubate itArtpe decided to put it within the inner pocket of his robeIf it broke, that was its fateAt that point, he’ll just s with it!
All the iteht was collectedTheir levels had increased, and their skills had developedNow they equipped their equipment over their clean bodiesArtpe felt refreshed as he waved his hand towards MycenaeHe was saying goodbye to her
“You can go now, aju you wanted”
“Why would I go?The eon reward is still to come”
Mycenae kept staring at the fountain placed in the middle of the square
Artpe and Maetel had wasted a lot of water by washi+ng the out clear water from some unknown placeIt looked as if Mycenae believed that there was a secret kept within it
“I won’t give that up”
“As always, I just want to purchase items at a fair price…”
“Ajumma”
Artpe smiled sweetlyMycenae had re s that should exist on the face of a thirteen year old
“I’ll see you again next time”
“Heht…”
For a brief moment, she had been mesmerized by his smileHowever, she recovered her hen she heard the cold voice that slipped out of Artpe’s mouth
Her cheeks puffed out, and she banged on her blameless cartShe shouted towards him
“HaI really can’t win against youAll rightI just have to leave, right?Please look kindly on the Anywhere company in the future!Tsk!”
Mycenae disappeared frorumbled as she stared at the spot where Mycenae had disappeared
“I don’t like that ajumma”
“That ajuood or badShe is only a merchant, who puts profit above all else We were able purchase supply without et decent price for the items we sold”
Actually, he had received a very generous aet into that topic hereHe sloalked towards the fountain
Yes, Mycenae’s hunch had been spot onIt was likely that everything left within the Dungeon was gathered at the fountainThis was probably the true reward given to the hero, who overcame all the tests
They had used a rotten method to pass the test, but they had passed itIt was time for them to see the fruit of their ordeal, which had lasted for a year
“The fountain was put there to fool usThe entrance is below itThe reward is also placed underneath it”
“There is soround below?”
“Where do you think the water is co from?”
Artpe save instructions to Maetel
“Let’s destroy the fountain”
“Yes!”
Maetel was confident only when it caetic reply as she raised her newly acquired long swordShe focused her Mana within it
Her level was above 150, so she possessed a sufficient pool of Mana within herShe didn’t need to be linked with Artpe
“WowI can feelat the tip of my sword”
“Ready, aim…Fire!”
“Eh-eet!”
The long sas black, but when she gathered her Mana into the sword, it let out a bright golden lightIt was the same color as Maetel’s hair
The energy shot out froht line towards the fountainThe energy impacted on the fountain, and it was destroyed easilyA hidden hallas revealed
They hadn’t expected another underground space, but it was a large space where people could resideThe clear underground water encompassed and flowed around the spaceA clean andrefined stone surface covered the hallway
There was a single altar placed in the middle
“…Artpe, what is that?”
Maetel found two books placed on so that looked to be an altar
One book had a red leather cover, and the other one had a blue leather coverOf course, Artpe immediately knew the identity of the books when he saw them
“Those are Skill Books…Ha”
It wasn’t just normal Skill BooksThese were Unique Skill Books that could be learned only by ‘Heroes’
When he realized the implications of this, Artpe felt electrifiedHe had kept his expectations in check, but this Dungeon had really been ht was a coincidence turned into destiny!
