Thank you.

Everyone from

Despite having said that, the truth was that Dark just couldn't figure out where to go for the moment.

Since there was still quite a long time before the evening, it was certainly impossible for them to immediately return.

As for [Greed II], which could make Trash Slime evolve into , it would still take a while for its cooldown to end.

Dark didn't have any definite plan for this period of time.

"Anyway, let's take a break first."

He waved his hand and rested on the spot.

In fact, be it Emma or Rose, both of them needed a certain amount of time to adjust their mentality.

……

After forming the team, the four of them moved to another place to rest.

Although Emma had joined the team, she still seemed very reserved.

Dark took the initiative to strike up a conversation and talked about what they had experienced so far since the free exploration started.

About two hours had passed since they departed from the entrance of the second floor of the dungeon.

During these two hours, Dark's biggest gains were the that was shrouded in complete mystery and the eighteen-sided black crystal.

Stretching it up a notch, the bottle of black powder—the remains of —could perhaps also be counted in it.

Other than those, most of their harvests were materials obtained from hunting ordinary monsters.

Those materials could be used for magic crafting, but whether or not a magic card that was in line to one's wishes could be ultimately crafted would depend more or less on luck.

As for the three-person team consisting of Emma, White, and Robert, after leaving the entrance of the second floor, their maneuver was generally similar to that of Dark's team.

The difference was that every time they came across a monster, White would immediately summon to fight against it.

Relying on Troll's power and White's magic energy, their journey had been relatively smooth.

Then, Emma got to the point where they had their special encounter.

Usually, there were a lot of hidden mechanisms and hidden chambers inside maze-type dungeons.

Of course, despite the similar names, there was a huge difference between "hidden chamber" and "hidden rift".

"Hidden chamber" was also referred to as "secret chamber".

When Emma was probing her way forward, she discovered a mural covered by a .

She hurriedly called for White and Robert who had walked far away to stop while simultaneously summoning her magical spirit to root out the Vine Beast. Afterwards, she solved the riddle of the mural and opened the door to a secret chamber hidden inside the wall!

"What's in the secret chamber?"

Emma had excellent narrative skills. The story she tirelessly recounted was highly engrossing.

Dark and the two girls had become very curious.

But Emma dejectedly answered, "There's nothing inside."

She had been exhilarated when she first solved the riddle, especially so when the door of the secret chamber slowly opened in front of her eyes. She even thought that like the protagonist in legendary tales, she would be able to find the treasure hidden inside the secret chamber.

But the reality said otherwise.

There was only a single lamp and a mural inside, which looked exactly the same as the mural on the wall outside.

She took the from the platform in the middle of the chamber and despondently left the secret chamber.

Not long after that, she ran into the hidden rift where the abyss was.

……

After listening to her story, Dark's gaze gradually turned strange.

In fact, aside from Dianna, everyone else, including Emma, had thought of a possibility.

Dark couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me what those two murals look like?"

"Of course." When talking about the gains of her adventure, Emma was a lot more jovial. "I sketched it down, wait a moment."

Saying so, she turned to take her backpack and rummaged for her notebook.

Meanwhile, Dark took out []' magic card and tapped on the surface.

Under the touch of the magic energy at his fingertips, Misdreavus squirmed like a little girl.

Shortly after, Emma dug out her notebook.

She turned the notebook to the middle and said with a smile, "Found it."

The other three gathered around it.

In the notebook, an angular totem was sketched out in thin lines.

Although the figure of this totem was slightly distorted due to the painting style, upon a careful look, one would be able to see the hint of a [] from its shape.

Under the mushroom-shaped upper half of the body were dense rows of straight lines that curved at the very bottom.

　　▅▅▅

Without any prior impressions, it would probably be really hard to figure that those drooping straight lines were depicting "tentacles".

Dark propped up [Misdreavus]' magic card so that it could see the totem on the notebook.

After seeing the totem, Misdreavus tilted its head and thought for a while before nodding vigorously.

"Seems like that's it."

Dark pondered and said, "Most probably, this totem is the monster at the bottom of the abyss. If so, it's very likely that you triggered something in the secret chamber that in turn activated the hidden rift. It's just that we were closer to it than you guys were at that time, so we entered earlier than you did."

"Is that so…"

Emma frowned as she carefully thought it over. "But we didn't do anything..."

Just when she was feeling perplexed over this, Dianna suddenly chimed in, "But Emma, didn't you take out an oil lamp from inside?"

Emma said in surprise, "That oil lamp, I took it because I just wanted to keep some memento… Well, seems like it's the oil lamp."

She closed the notebook, her frown gradually relaxing. Then she stuffed the notebook back into her backpack and took out the oil lamp.

The oil lamp was sealed in a transparent bag.

After taking out the oil lamp, she put it on her knees and hesitantly said, "This is just an ordinary oil lamp, right?"

Dark couldn't help rolling his eyes—how could it be ordinary?

Perhaps, Emma only asked this question because she wanted to hear other people say the answer she wished for.

Luckily for her, there was Dianna to play the sidekick. "It must be a treasure! How great!"

Such was probably the way social relations between people were formed.

Emma looked to be very happy as she rubbed the side of the oil lamp through the bag.

Of course, no matter how many times she rubbed it, there was no way would be summoned.

Although the oil lamp looked a bit similar to Aladdin's magic lamp, its copper lacquered surface was covered with rust. It was evidently an ancient artifact.

But looking at this oil lamp would lead one to inadvertently think of another item.

Under Emma's curious gaze, Dark picked up the rusty sword by his feet and brought it closer to the oil lamp.

A lamp and a sword.

It might look like there was no connection between them, but after putting them together, one would find that their surface materials were exactly the same.

"It turned out to be a set?"

Dark couldn't help sinking into thoughts.

Obviously noticing this as well, Emma immediately asked, "Is this the treasure you guys found in the treasure chest?"

Dianna enthusiastically nodded.

More thoughts popped into Emma's head.

After a while, she said, "I heard there are many historical relics that can be found in the . If we look through historical documents, we might be able to find the origin of the oil lamp and the sword. Let's search for it together after we get out of the dungeon."

Dianna: "Are we going to look through books? I'm not very good at that..."

Smack!

Rose quickly smacked the back of her hand and smilingly said, "Sure. These are the fruits of our first adventure, we certainly must find out about them."
