Chapter 676 - Story (1/2)
After a whole day, Theo and Dourner finally returned to the hall.
On the side, they saw Agata, who seemed to be changing that side of the hall with her illusion. Meanwhile, the dragon had disappeared, leaving only Ava sitting on the floor. Her eyes were closed and her legs were crossed.
She seemed to be putting all her concentration on the three lightning balls floating around her body.
The moment Theo returned, Agata noticed him and stopped what she was doing. She hurriedly walked to Theo and Dourner with a curious expression.
”Are you done?”
”Yes.” Theo nodded with a serious expression.
After getting his answer, Agata then turned to Dourner and lowered her head. ”Thank you for this shawl.”
”Hmm?” Dourner didn't understand her sudden change of attitude, but he still nodded. ”No problem. If you want to thank anyone, you should convey your gratitude to this guy. No matter what, he's the reason I gave you that shawl.”
”Yes.” Agata knew that and planned to thank Theo later.
”By the way, where is the Saint?” He asked.
”He went back three hours ago,” Ava answered his question as she stood up. After checking her body condition, she returned to her tiny form and said, ”He left you a message.”
”What is it?”
”It's to come up with a story together before sending us back to the surface. He said he'll take responsibility if this place is discovered because of us.” Ava answered.
”I see.” Dourner thought for a moment and glanced at Theo. ”I guess I will be talking to him.”
”Understood.” Theo agreed without hesitation. He was already lucky that he didn't die, let alone receive a big present like this. So, he didn't mind spending more time here just to fix this trouble. ”Before that, I would like to know what you have in mind.”
”Hmm.” Dourner thought for a moment and said, ”Did you find anything weird inside the cave? I am afraid a monster has created that crack.”
”To be honest, I am not very sure. I couldn't even identify the monsters there.” He shook his head in disappointment.
”In that case, did you find any weird monsters there?”
”Hmm?” Theo frowned his eyebrows, noticing the change of the question. ”I am not very sure about this, but I noticed that all the monsters in that place had transparent but tough skin, right?”
”Yes.”
”In that case, I actually found a monster that was different from them.”
”I see. That might be the problem.” He nodded. ”We're actually farming those transparent monsters. First of all, their crystal clear skin is easily recognizable, especially during the refining process for a younger generation who first picks up their hammer.
”It's quite durable as well, so it will make everything better. At the same time, the organ is weak, so we can kill them easily. They're pretty delicious too, so yeah, those are the reasons.
”Since there was a monster out of the norm, I can safely guess that creature was the culprit.” He explained.
