After the entire fiasco, the duo continued forward But Marlene clearly didn’t let her guard down Not only did she cast a shi+eld over herself, but she also stuck close to Rhode as ht hand to pinch his the heht continuously, seeking out any sudden movements With this level of surveillance, perhaps not even the cloaked men could avoid her

“Mr Rhode, is it really here?” Marlene asked after she inhaled deeply, breathing in the cold, chilly air which sent a shi+ver down her spine

As they went deeper into the cave, the ground becaly colder Rhode was also fairly curious since he had never completed this quest before At that ti the potential of the Su Swordsman, so he was hesitant to activate this quest

The reason why he knew so much about the Rock of Lament was because he read about another player’s adventure on the forum That player posted screenshots of his experiences as well as the loot he obtained at the end of the quest His intention wasthe bait Before hirant them a hidden quest, so after this incident, it spawned a revelation a many players to use similar tactics to seek out other hidden quests

The situation right noas the same as what he has remembered in the forum post But at that tih the cave for a while…”

…It ended there

is ‘a while’?

Only God knows</e Otherwise, that player wouldn’t write it as ‘a while’

damn it! It was a mistake not to research more about this questline

Just as he said those words, a few e in scenery

A bright light shone into their eyes as they left the narrow cave

They found theround cave Stalactites for, and an occasional drop of water would fall off the tip The wet solid cave wall also reflected the sun rays which perh several holes from the top There were even some plants in the corners that tried to stretch its tendrils towards the light

“It’s beautiful…”

Rhode had seen plenty of underground caverns, so he wasn’t surprised As for Marlene, it was her first tiht It wasn’t as scary and dark as she i and beautiful

Marlene was conificent display of the power of nature Meanwhile, Rhode shi+fted his gaze on a huge rock

This rock matched exactly to what Rhode had seen in the forue inverted stalactite was carved into a smooth rock and many names were etched on it It was the names of the bandits who had been killed After their deaths, they were buried here, under the tombstone raised by the cohts and perished in the darkness, but they have brought us light”

Rhode muttered the inscription above the tolanced behind the rock

A long tiinal appearance If it weren’t because of those sed in a row, alravesite

“What should I do next, Mr Rhode? You wouldn’t ask ht?” Marlene asked Rhode worriedly Noto do

“Let’s split up and check the area”

Naturally, Rhode already found the location of the treasure since he could recall the contents of the screenshots by the player quite vividly But he wasn’t silly enough to directly saunter to the treasure location and dig it up because that would indubitably trip Marlene’s suspicion He didn’t want to create additional headaches for himself, so he decided to play it out naturally

Marlene was relieved when she heard that Rhode wasn’t going to order her to dig up the graves She nodded her head and took the left side of the cave while Rhode searched the right Up to this point,

everything was the same as the forum post, even so, Rhode couldn’t help but wonder that if there would be any kind of divergence froame

But when he saw a dust-covered chest made out of bronze in the corner, Rhode finally felt relieved

He walked towards the chest and lowered his body, studying the object before him

Due to the power of tiently reached out and swept the dust off the lid Then he skillfully patted several seeht hand to confirm that it wasn’t boobytrapped After that, he held the lid and opened it

Creak… Dust flew everywhere when he lifted up the lid as its aged hingesthe dust off the objects, his heart immediately jumped with joy

Inside the chest were the weapons left behind by the bandits Most of them had rusted beyond belief and already failed the test of tist the others, as though they were brand new This was a characteristic of ic Equiper a chance of paralysis for 3 seconds]
