Chapter 126 Resting before the return. (2/2)

Just like deep steel, there were other alloys sih this one was called deep-silver it didn’t mean that it was less sturdy than steel The silver counterpart was quite siard but it had soainst undead creatures

Roland did not think the added price orth the expenditure so he continued using deep steel Both of these metals had the same resistance to runic erosion so it didn’t matter that much to him

‘This will come in handy…’

Roland held the weapon out, it was a long two-handed weapon more in line with a halberd than an actual axe He did not have his axe-related skills leveled up thata weapon at all The added strength would also boost his attacking power for when they entered the corridor filled with those monsters

Besides the weapon, there were three deep-silver bars along with so with thecounted by this world’s system as the sareat The monster trashed his ar dent in his runic shi+eld that he lent to his half-brother, all in all, this would probably barely cover the repair costs

There was also the proble with theo for soold coins, its tail could probably be fashi+oned into a two-handed sword

He lacked a large enough spatial bag to fit it in, he would regretfully have to leave the monster there but there was still one item that he could take, the e but also deep inside the monster’s insides This creature was over level hundred and halfway towards tier 3 It was a miracle that they were able to defeat it already

“We should be safe for the ti…”

“Sir Wayland, what about those ate? Won’t they enter this room?”

“I don’t think so…”

“How so?”

Asked the blue-haired lady that was in the process of getting her hair in place

“I have a theory about this hidden dungeon…”

Roland started to explain about finding this place odd The moment that door was opened the boss appeared but when they entered fro happened This didn’tside

The correct path to this boss chamber was probably at another location The path they took was a secret backdoor

The creatures behind those gates were just the usualthe boss chamber The room was more than likely created in a way that only when the door was opened and then closed did the boss … but doesn’t that mean…”

“Yes, if we follow that path we should be able to come out at the intended entrance, which should probably take us to the h while Lady Lucille clapped her hands together She quickly moved her hand to the side to where her pouch was or at least where it should be

“Huh?”

“Is so Lady Lucille?”

“My ite thesoed from the outside whatever was inside of it beca more than scrap leather

“We can’t contact Lord Percival now, they rettable, on’t be able to give them our location even e leave this place…”

This was a setback that Roland could live with If Robert or Lucille actually reported that he pulled two nobles into a boss fight, hehis true heritage would be the only way to save his hide

The two didn’t seem like they would reveal this secret if he asked thely mellowed down but that could have been the effect of the wo to show his old violent tendencies

“I’”

“Why is that Sir Wayland?”

Asked Lucille and Roland started to explain to her how these boss cha that if we stay here for too long that ain?”

“Yes, we should not be in any danger for now, but I would not stay here for ht have to charge in through it and lock ourselves in with those ht appear again"

Roland didn’t think he would be able to battle the ht be able to set up a few traps but the only real resource he had was the deep silver he just found, a few metal ores from that hidden chamber, and the boss monsters' remains to scribe some scrolls

“Is that so…”

Lucille looked at the deadsniffed by a now recovered Agni It was clear to Roland that his pooch was interested in the sizable mana stone that was still inside that dinosaur

“Never thought I’d see one of these”

“You recognize this monster?”

“Yes, I’ve consulted soeons like this I never thought to see a variant of the Volcanic Xornotaurus!”

Lucille’s eyes sparkled a bit, the girl seely liked to read about beasts as well Normally the only version of this monster did not possess a bladed tail It was also not able to heat itself up as much but still possessed the iconic flame breath

This type of ed to reach tier 3 It would be still a lesser foron but still a monster that would require a whole party of tier 3 adventurers to defeat it

“You should try to regain as th as you can, ill have to leave soon”

Roland said while standing up, he needed to pick up the scrap auntlets, he could still soical effects but he would need to change his fighting style There was also the ht be able to make some backup scrolls to blast those monsters in the corridors

Before he could walk away, he felt someone touch his side

“Sir Wayland… I’ll be sure to ask ive you a hefty ree return!”

Lucille shouted while Robert was quick to give some praise

“Yes, the Arden estate will also provide a bonus for your services If it wasn’t for you, we all would have perished long ago! Would you perhaps be interested in lad to hire such a pro crafts?”

He thought about hoould need to explain to a Viscount why he endangered the life of his daughter Then even the worst thing of having Robert so his pops into this predicament

“Those won’t be needed…”

“But Sir Wayland, we have to give you soiveyou want!”

Lucille’s big eyes started to shi+ne brightly as she waited for Roland to speak

“How about we keep this little accident between us…”

“Huh?”

Both Robert and Lucille were surprised by the request but soon Roland went further into the explanation

“I fear that instead of being rewarded Ilady’s life in jeopardy…”

“Ah…”

Lucille dropped her head and started thinking, Robert as well nodded, finding that what Roland was proposing ht not react kindly"

“Father is more reasonable than that… I think”

Lucille was a bit taken aback by Roland’s reaction but after thinking for a moment she nodded as well Soon they all reach a consensus, for Roland’s sake they would keep this boss battle secret

The party of four decided to rest a day in this boss cha watch Then they would atteate where the ht, the path forould get increasingly easier the further they went but ti, the shi+eld could be somewhat hammered back into shape

Robert still had his sword and Lucille’sorder as well With the two-handed axe all of them had some kind of weapon If he was able to create some more scrolls from the monster's reest ene for them inside After that, their weapons and skills would need to suffice

‘First I need to fix the shi+eld…’

Roland nodded as he got to work, it was time to move forward and escape this trap
