Chapter 143 - Treasure (2/2)

Coming out of her stupor, Selene got up taking the ring back,- ”Let me see that, hmmm, it's working fine for me... Oh, I see the problem, this is putting images in my head and for some reason I can't read your mind, so whatever protection you have is blocking this from working for you.”

Theoric wasn't sure if it was because of Gaea's ring or the amulet protecting him from telepaths, but he thanked them both the same. His only other solution to telepaths was to constantly have a shield in place, but that wouldn't have been practical going around with an orange glowing headpiece.

”Then you'll have to lead us the rest of the way.” Looking over to Sigyn who was still babying Grani, he called,- ”Sigyn, come on, stop coddling it.”

Sigyn furrowed her brows,- ”Bad Theo, don't call Grani an it, he's part of the family now and you two need to get along.”

Theoric rolled his eyes,- ”Sure, as soon as he stops ignoring me, now let's go... After you Selene,” he said waving his hand for her to lead.

Smirking when Sigyn brought Grani closer who growled at him.

Sigyn gave Grani a soft knock on the head,- ”Didn't I just say you two need to get along,” she said before continuing her pats, giving Theoric a glare,- ”That goes for you too mister, I see that smirk.”

Theoric coughed embarrassingly before turning around, ignoring Grani's gloating look.

It didn't take long to find the treasure room that had plenty of gold and jewels that were thrown around for extra rewards.

Sitting on top of the center pedestal was the map they came for.

Looking it over he saw the location, smack dab in the middle of the sea of monsters.

Theoric glanced at Selene,- ”Didn't you say something about a witch that knows the location of the sea of monsters?”

Selene,- ”Yes, a sea witch who knows the way to safely pass into it.”

Theoric- ”Seems a little suspicious how you were able to find that information when that just so happens to be exactly where we need to go.”

Selene defended herself,- ”Look, that's just what I found reading the people's minds, I didn't come up with it.”

Theoric- ”Relax, I wasn't insinuating anything about you, but I do think it's suspicious that such information is being widely circulated so that you could easily pick it up, don't you?”

Selene,- ”Now that you point it out, maybe the witch is planning to steal the map from whoever happens to bring it to her, knowing they would need that information.”

Theoric- ”Possibly, in any case, we still have to check it out, but we'll prepare for the worst.”

Looking up he lifted them all to the roof,- ”Now Sigyn if you would be so kind as to tell that... Grani to dig us a way out, please,” he said quickly correcting himself so she wouldn't get mad.

Sigyn grinned,- ”Certainly, Grani it's showtime, get us out of here.”

Grani,- ”Yes Mistress.” he said giving his version of a snort to Theoric before digging them out.
