Chapter 856 The last one
856 The last one
When the two of them appeared, the same thing as before happened where they questioned what happened here.
They received the same answer as everyone else who came before them, which was no answer at all.
After all, there was nothing that they could say in response to this.
They didn’t know anything about this in the first place.
“We can’t just remain passive like this.” One of the first two cloaked figures that showed up in the clearing suddenly said this.
The others all looked at this cloaked figure with strange looks, as if they were wondering what they were talking about.
Seeing everyone else looking at them, they said, “We have to gather and protect the artifacts. It’s clear that there is someone targeting them, so we have to get ahead of them.”
“Targeting them? Is there something that you’re not telling us?”
That cloaked figure revealed a bitter look and looked at their partner as if they were hesitating to say something.
When the other cloaked figures saw this, it was as if they figured something out.
“Something already happened to your artifact?”
There was a moment of silence before that cloaked figure and their partner gave a slow nod.
Seeing this, the other cloaked figures didn’t condemn them or say anything about this. Instead, they deeply knitted their brows as if they were thinking about this before one of them said…
“We need to gather everyone if we’re going to do this. It isn’t just our problem alone, this is everyone’s problem at this rate…”
The other cloaked figures had heavy looks on their faces, but they eventually nodded in agreement. They knew that what this cloaked figure had said was correct, so they couldn’t hesitate on this matter.
…
“This will be the last one.” Scar suddenly said from beside me.
I had been looking out the window of the carriage as we traveled along the road.
When he said this, I turned to look at him and gave a casual nod as if I didn’t really seem to care.
Scar raised a brow when he saw this, but he didn’t say anything in the end.
This was one of the crystals that we had obtained after clearing out the area of increased monster activity.
It wasn’t just Scar who had been looking at it, it was also Cecilia and Shaka who were in the carriage with us who had been examining the crystal as well.
There were broken weapons that were scattered on the floor of the carriage.
These were the results of them testing this crystal.
They had been trying to break it with different weapons, but they hadn’t been able to do anything to it. It was as if this crystal just wouldn’t break no matter what kind of weapons they used.
It wasn’t as if the weapons that they used were bad weapons.
These were the special mithril rune engraved weapons that I had gotten for them.
There was only one thing that Cecilia hadn’t tried yet and that was the dildo bat.
That was the line that I drew since I didn’t want to actually break the crystal.
There was no doubt that this crystal wasn’t a normal thing and there should be a use for it in the future, so it wasn’t as if I wanted to destroy it.
While it wasn’t certain that the dildo bat would be able to break it with its 50% penetration effect, I wasn’t willing to take this risk. Not to mention…I was certain that Cecilia would ask for The Penetrator once she saw that the normal dildo bat didn’t work.
This wasn’t something that I could let her do, so I had to stop her
As such, there was nothing that they could do with this crystal and they were still looking carefully at it now.
Though they were looking at it carefully like this, it wasn’t as if they could find anything wrong with it.
So it was just a futile effort looking at it like this.
Still, it made them feel better, which was why I didn’t stop them.
After thinking for a bit, I raised my hand for the carriage to stop.
The other three in the carriage looked at me with a surprised look, but I didn’t say anything as I moved to get out of the carriage. While I was doing this, I waved my hand at Scar for him to follow me.
The other two looked like they wanted to follow, but they understood that I only wanted Scar to come with me.
The other guards that were outside were surprised to see me stop all of a sudden and they also wanted to follow me and Scar, but I stopped them in the end.
Once Scar and I were aside, I said to him who had a confused look on his face, “This is the last one, we need to come up with a plan.”
Scar looked even more confused when he heard this.
He looked at me in silence for a few seconds before asking, “What do you mean by that? Everything has been going smoothly, there’s no need for us to do anything.”
I shook my head in response.
It was true that everything had been going smoothly in taking care of the various dark crystals that were around the country, but this made me feel that something was off.
After all, it had been too easy that it didn’t seem like it was right.
It felt like there was something building up behind the scenes, which was why I wanted to make preparations.
I could see Scar looking at me as if he thought that I was overthinking this.
This was the way that he looked at me whenever I said that this was too easy.
However, I didn’t mind it as I said, “All you have to do is…”
I laid out my plan to him in detail.
When he was done listening, Scar gave a sigh as he said, “Alright, but this will turn out to be a waste of time.”
I gave a nod without saying anything.
As long as we did this, I would at least feel much more relieved.
Whether something happened or not.
Completely forgot to post this.
