285 The Message On The Wall
“If that is the case and they are all as powerful as Azengrade, wouldn’t that mean we are all in serious trouble?” Adel asked.
“To be honest, yes, if that is the case. But we do not have enough to go on. He could be a special case. Someone who fell through a hole and arrived here by accident. For all we know, something could have gone wrong on their planet, and the stories and cities of that world turned into separate dungeons that are now appearing in our world. But this also still leaves a lot of questions and no answers. So we can only speculate for the time being.” I answered. “For now, let’s just try to find any signs that my father has been to this part of the dungeon.”
With this, we continued our search floor after floor and then onto the next building. Because we were searching through everything with a fine tooth comb, we spent four days just searching. And in the end, we found nothing. “Was your father not here?”
“Might be possible….” It might be possible that the dungeon rotated at some point, causing us to end up somewhere else, but I would not know for sure unless I searched the other side.
“Let’s go meet up with Iena and the others. We will switch sides and research each other’s areas..” I was feeling a bit discouraged. After all, I was hoping to find another easy clue, but it seemed I was not going to be able to do things so easily.
When we made our way over to the other block, I saw that Iena and her team were standing there staring at something. “Iena, what’s wrong?”
“Master, look at that. What do you think that means?” I turned and looked at what Iena was talking about, and what I saw made my cheeks turn red.
“That damn old man!” I yelled out. I have no idea what is wrong with his head, but that old bastard actually wrote something so embarrassing on the wall!? And in such big letters. “I am starting not to care about him anymore….”
“Hehe…” I heard Adel giggle from behind me. I turned and gave her an evil eye. “Everyone does it!”
The stupid old man actually wrote: “Faith, I am pretty sure you are in the dungeon looking for me, so I am fine but remember, if you see something scary, don’t wet your pants like you did that one time when you were little!”
I could feel my whole face heating up. Everyone was smiling at me knowingly. I glared at them as I said: “If you do not want me to use dragon speak to make you all tell me your most embarrassing moments, then I suggest you leave me alone!”
“Hahahahaa!” Steven suddenly burst out laughing. Causing me to grit my teeth. “Steven! Tell me what your most embarrassing moment is!”
Steven’s eyes dulled as he began to speak: “When I was eight, my brother tricked me into running around the town naked, and from that moment on, I was called Little Weewee by all the neighbors.”
“”Pfft!”” Sophie and Grace both burst out laughing. The two quietest people on the team were now in tears laughing. But I mean, it was funny. I watched as Steven’s eyes came back to life as he looked around. He was very confused as to why everyone was staring at him and laughing. “What!?”
“Don’t worry…. Pff… Little Weewee. We will not judg… Pff… Judge you… hahahahahahahahahahahaha! I can’t, Little Weewee! Hahahaha.” I couldn’t help but laugh, I mean. To think he would have such a nickname.
“Wha? How did you know my childhood nickname!? Wait!? Faith, you really made me talk!?” Steven’s face was bright red. He dropped down and hugged his knees as he buried his face in them.
Amanda walked over to him and patted his shoulder. “Next time, hold it in better when you want to laugh at Faith. She is not our boss for no reason, you know.”
“Ahhh! I will one day get revenge!” Steven suddenly stood up and yelled. “Laugh! So what! It was when I was a kid!”
As we all laughed and joked, I was actually quite happy. Luckily my father was able to leave a message behind that I would see. I had worried that I might have lost the trail that would allow me to find him. But he seems to be moving right along with ease.
In the end, I still went through Iena’s block and secured anything that was useful for future endeavors. Iena had already found the way to the next area, which was in a parking garage on the top floor at the rear door of a box truck.
When we passed through it, we landed in what now looked like a futuristic version of the same city blocks as before. “This is….” If anything, this was a major find. “Same as before, spread out and search for any clues.”
We quickly split up. When I stepped foot onto the street, the first thing I did was walk over to one of the cars that were lying half on the street and the other half on the curb. “A flying car….” I looked it over a few times before storing it away. I did not have time to fully inspect it, but I did check the engine. It was not a normal car engine. I was hoping that these cars were a combination of magic and technology. If it was, it would be a huge find and would help me greatly in my production of new things.
When we entered the first building, we all froze in our tracks and quickly went on the defensive. A human stood in front of us and suddenly bowed. “Welcome to Medfonics. May I ask what you are here for today?”
“You are not human?” I asked. The girls were all looking at me in surprise. But this was a given as I had spoken in english.
