Chapter 229: Its too quiet… (2/2)

Roland was the last one to squeeze to the other side Before turning around he e boulders in the hole to block it It didn’t see followed so there was no reason to collapse the entrance once more It was better to leave an escape route if some enemies came from the other side

“Wayland”

“Givea clarification after Senna called out to hiht were produced from each of his palms One of them he threw up into the air, to no surprise this blackto accoht source res closest to them

“They really did leave but…”

“Yeah, they left in a hurry…”

With the help of the illu that he noticed was that this blackwith the whole width, there were levels going below They were standing on the top floor and when looking down they could see a large open space Roland felt as if he was standing in a largedown at the last floor that even with his spell was hard to make out

“These stands were abandoned, some of the items are still there”

“A black merchant left thar loot behind?”

Isabela was surprised as everyone knew that black market et injured than give away their money or wares that they could later sell Yet these stands were abandoned with so the floor

“Yeah, those monsters were here… look at that”

Senna pointed everyone towards the here they could see son with the sharp tentacle blades that the spine eaters were equipped with but that was not the problem

“If those creatures are here… where are the bodies?”

“That’s a good question Orson, you get five points”

Orson frowned at the jab from Senna but only became more aware of the situation around them Everyone was quick to pull out their weapons with the exception of two One was the trickster and the other the ar the whole area for enemies

“You can relax for now, even if there were monsters here they have left, I’d say that they’d probably went that way…”

“Ooh, Wayland gets fifty points!”“The hell? Why do I only get five points!”

“ ‘cos you are stupid”

“Calm doon ye two, noo isn’t th' tiht between the two Roland just looked in the direction of a certain large pathway It was the ed one of theround and they continued to the inside There were signs of the pushi+ng through which someone like Dalrak would probably notice as well

“Where does that lead to?”

“Call er now!”

Isabela frowned slightly while replying in a coquettish manner to Roland’s question It didn’t see the whole situation as seriously as he did Yet to keep it friendly he decided to just go along with her

“Uh… Then Cap’n does that perhaps lead to the thieves guild?”

“It does, 'ave ye actually been here afore?”

“No, it was just an inforo to reach the docks?”

“Aye, don't worry 'tisn't the way, t' the pier be in the opposite direction, follow h of relief as things seeh there was an outbreak in this area the monsters followed the thieves and uild This ione that way but it didn’t exclude the possibility of the in the other corridors

“How the hell could those things ransack this whole place, what is that shi+tty thieves guild doing?”

Orson shouted out while looking around

“This is strange, the guild shouldn’t be this weak”

Senna brought up a good point Souild would be well protected with their guilda tier 3 class holder Unless all of their enforcers were on some kind of secret mission it was hard to believe that the tier 2 creatures could just go through the bodyguards and leave no bodies behind Their absorption poere known to everyone here so it wasn’t strange that there was nothing left behind in their wake However, it wasn’t that hard to defeat the left behind

“I agree, we should be careful thesesome help”

“Do you mean?”

“Yeah, that’s a possibility”

“What are you two talking about?”

“That’s why you only get five points”

“The hell?”

Senna and Roland exchanged nods while Orson’s face became even et out of here, even though it's such a waste…”

Senna agreed with Roland that there had to be some kind of secondary abyssal cult presence besides the creatures here at play There were a few possibilities like part of the thieves guild already being in their clutches or a strong cultist hiding away so place even further below

What the halfling was pouty about were all the blacksooing towards the tunnel leading to the docks It wasn’t different for Roland as soe potions that were here and there could prove beneficial in some way

There was no tis that left for the thieves guild could return here It would probably take hours to get through all these collapsed stands It wasn’t worth losing their lives over some money or this was at least as on Roland’s round with arded coins and iteo? How about we just stay for ten et a fine haul!”

“No”

Roland replied to Isabela’s plea for booty, he already knehere the way towards the docks was and he would drag the shi+p captain there if he had to The light orb that was illu soon popped thereafter which ly everyone returned to the previous for corridor that should lead the about this place…’

Even though the clawhi thelanced at his radar he could not detect any nearby eney he was using wasn’t perfect there was always a chance that so his radar or that they found theain For this reason, he was constantly activating his debugging skill to see if any runes would appear and his eyes were becoh thar, see I told ye that we could 'ave …”

So back up and on the right track Isabela started shouting and pointing towards the next fork in the road that was supposed to be the last one This was an indication of a gathering spot and all the tunnels here were probably all leading towards thief guild associated establishments like the pub they came from

“Huh?”

However, before they could jue sound appeared fro door noise akin to secret passages Roland was in the backline along with Orson so they could see the wall going up before their eyes

“”

“Wait what are you…”

Before the door slid open Roland stolowing and this light was transferred to the ground Orson was surprised by the quick reaction that produced ain front of that secret passage that just showed up to shut it

“Why are you spacing out? Run!”

After the spell was finished he turned towards his party and instantly bolted in their direction If his radar was correct then they needed to flee and do it fast…
