Chapter 115 - : Writings on the wall (2/2)

‘The third probably is what Romian was trying to do.’

Romian was trying to break through the door with the hammer and chisel.

If Romian was a proven one or someone undergoing proving, then the door should have opened.

‘Am I also in the third category?’

Seeing that the door didn’t open as he approached it, Soo Hyuk was not in the first category. But it didn’t seem that he was in the second either.

‘Well…’

But Soo Hyuk couldn’t be sure. Who knows? Receiving the special quest ‘Kelta’s Legacy’ might be the undergoing proving process.

With this thought, Soo Hyuk placed his hand on the wall.

‘Will pushing it be enough?’

Although it’s called a door, it’s a wall. There wasn’t any handle to pull on, so the only thing left was pushing it.

As he pushed the wall, the door began to open.

‘…What? It’s opening?’

Soo Hyuk only pushed just in case. He did not expect it to actually open, so he was surprised.

‘So what is it that I am undergoing proving?’

According to the writings, someone in the process of being proven can open the door with ease. And the door opened with only a push.

‘Is it the quest?’

Soo Hyuk began to wonder whether a quest had anything to do with it. He assumed that receiving the quest can act as the process of being proven. But it was impossible to figure out whether it was the ‘Cave Exploration’ or the ‘Kelta’s Legacy’ quest was the key quest.

While Soo Hyuk was thinking, the door finally stopped, and a new passage appeared.

Fortunately, the passage was not long, and Soo Hyuk reached the end of the passage.

Exiting the passage, Soo Hyuk was amazed and stared in a daze at what lay before him as he walked forward.

“Wow…”

[You have discovered Kelta’s treasure.]

[The quest ‘Cave Exploration’ has been completed.]

As Soo Hyuk exited the passage, these two notifications popped up, but Soo Hyuk was too amazed to check it.

“Wooahh…”

Looking around at the view, Soo Hyuk let out another sound of amazement.

‘Is all of this the reward?’

What Soo Hyuk saw was a massive amount of treasures, ranging from jewels, swords, lances, shields, earrings, etc. There were various types of treasures lying around everywhere.

‘You can stack up a mountain with just the gold in here.’

Other than the jewels and swords, there was so much gold lying around.

‘How much is all of this? Just with the gold, it should be above a million.’

‘The amount of jewels is also massive.’

The problem was there was more than just gold.

There were so many eye-catching treasures. The jewels, earrings, rings, swords, lances, gloves, shoes, chain armors, etc. all looked very high-class.

‘Is all of this really the reward?’

At that thought, Soo Hyuk felt a shiver go down his spine.

‘The difficulty does not match the rewards…’

Soo Hyuk also felt uncomfortable. The difficulty surely rose towards the end, but it wasn’t to the point of receiving a reward like this.

‘But…’

There was something else making Soo Hyuk uncomfortable. Checking the logs, Soo Hyuk frowned.

‘The special quest hasn’t been completed.’

The only quest completed was the ‘Cave Exploration’ quest.

‘That means this isn’t the secret location.’

The condition for the completion of the ‘Kelta’s Legacy’ quest was to find the location where Kelta hid all of her treasures.

For the quest to not be completed meant that the current place was not the secret location in the quest.

‘Then, what are these?’

If the place where Kelta hid her lifelong treasures was the secret location, what were these treasures?

‘Does it mean the treasures here are only a tip of the iceberg?’

‘First of all…’

There was no point in pondering on that question now.

‘Let’s collect all of these first.’

Soo Hyuk decided to think about that later.

Staring at all the treasures, Soo Hyuk smiled and thought.

‘I’m probably gonna have to pass my logout time to pick all of these up.’

There were so many things to pick up, and it looked like it would take some time.

Soo Hyuk reached out his hand to pick up the gold, but as soon as he touched it, the gold disappeared with a bright light.

“What? What happened?”Soo Hyuk was surprised at the sudden disappearance of the gold.

“What is this? Where’d it all go?”

The problem was that it wasn’t only the gold that disappeared. All the treasures in the room were nowhere to be found. They all disappeared.

‘Wait…Did having a taste of the treasures mean this?’

Remembering the last sentence on the writings on the wall, Soo Hyuk was lost for words.
