Chapter 175: The Deadliest Hopscotch Game Ever! (3) (2/2)
The Cube was surrounded by a glass container and was locked with a key The keyhole was protected with ood old lockpicks”
Jon took out soic in the keyhole fro with the picks Luckily, it didn't require a certain key to open the lock as the lockpicks were already doing their charm and…
tink
The lock opened safely and Jon could open the display and stretch his hands in
Of course, just like any cliche story, once Jon held the Cube in his hand, shi+t went down
First, the 'Levitation' enchantot disabled and all the traps on the space also disappeared
Jon as floating fell on his face
”Ouch… okay! I saw that one couys ?”
Jon looked around and saw a horde of Dwarven Aniht All the Dwarven Spiders and the Dwarven Spheres, that he assu, all came towards him at once
TINK FEEEEEEHHHH
TINK TINK TINK
STOMP STOMP
Jon heard a more unpleasant sound behind him and lo and behold the three Dwarven Centurion that just cauys were to come out when the cube is taken? Tsk, how dirty!”
Jon already collected the prize and was in no mood to stay The third section's traps were all removed but the 'No Teleportation, No Levitation' rules were still applied
More to that, on higher platforms, some new faces entered the scene A total of ten Dwarven Ballistas cauess, it is ti slohile s to the Dwarven Spiders and Spheres around hi towards the second section
All sorts of projectiles were shot at him yet he reacted faster and increased his speed to the limit With, only a few ot ready to take the show to an end
”Ladies, this is the day you'll always reht Captain Jon Dare WULD NAH KEST!”
All I can reh the second section with the 'Whirlwind Sprint' Shout and the shockwave sent h the first section
I then landed outside it and used the 'Teleportation Scroll' to return back to the Onyx Hall
The ones received me were Nurina, the Fyr sisters and an elderly Dark Elf with silver hair that I directly recognized as Lord Divayth Fyr
”Apprentice Jonhild Firemane pays his respect to Great Grandmaster”
I reats a great reatestFyr accepts your respect”
Oh boy! He htning but it seeet luckier every century” Lord Fyr sighed and spoke with a smile ”This Cube, why did you choose it?”
Lord Fyr asked ure out an answer for I can't possibly say that a creepy incorporeal entity that dwells inside ave me a hint
”A creepy incorporeal entity that dwells inside , you have one of those” Lord Fyr laughed it off, ”By the way, that Cube was made by my dearest friend so I will lend it to you, whoever of us dies first then the cube will belong to the living one”
Oh! It seems the Cube is really precious and holds a sentimental value for Lord Fyr I wanted to return it back but I really went through soet my hands on it
”Deal!”
”Good then I hope to see you once you have grown into the best promise of yourself Until then” Lord Fyr said and turned away
I was holding myself not to blush the whole time
This is Lord Fyr I don't want to sound like a pervert but when he pattedtouch it again I a it in a museum
Once he turned around and left, Beyte and Uupse followed hio
After that, Nurina took me to the side
”Brat! Do you knohat did you just take?”
She was speaking and bea fro in there”
”damn, you are so lucky Listen closely, the place you went in was an old Dweot 'relocated' under Tel Fyr by Lord Fyr and a close friend of his”
”Aha! I see, so that friend is the expert in the Dwelad you noticed”
”Hey, was it Yagruarn?”
”No, it is not I doubt that he would want to do anything related to Lord Fyr's personal sport”
Not Yagru Dwemer? Then as it?
”The room you was in is called the 'Puzzle Room' It was created by the efforts of Lord Fyr and his venerable friend and you just beat it and took its eon Master who is specialized in Magic and a Puzzle Master who is specialized in Dweulped a mouthful of saliva
”damn!”
I clearly realized what I just did
”Who is Lord Fyr's friend? And what is that artifact?”
Nurina sighed and calmed down then said some words that I doubt my sanity afterward
”The friend is SothSil and the artifact is the 'Haven Cube'”
