“What, you’re finished already?”

“How did it go?”

Coming back to the entrance of the alleyway, Ria and Cowen approached with surprised faces.

“I acquired the sealing stone.”

Han-bit said while showing the red rock he held in his hand.

He re-examined the message that popped up a moment ago.

[Main Quest #5 has been completed.]

[You have received 100,000 gold.]

[Main Quest #6: Camon’s Workshop]

You have obtained the sealing stone from Harpen’s mansion.

Release the seal and head inside the workshop.

Will you be able to discover evidence regarding the incident that occurred within the Northon family?

Objective: Check the important evidence located inside the workshop.

Reward: 50,000 Gold, Experience 15,000, 2 Stat Points

*Current Progress Rate: 50 Percent

– 50 percent on the 6th quest. Lol.

– That’s whatever, but the reward values are freaking high.

– Consecutive defeats for the guidebook;

– Adventurer A wailing in tears.

– Why are you acting like you did well and crying?

– For real lol

A story progressing twice as fast as the guidebook’s strategy which was solidified as the standard.

On top of that, because even the rewards were superb, the viewers’ laments mixed with regret continued to rise.

Because there was no way to rewind an episode they had already cleared.

“Let’s move immediately. Even though I knocked them out, someone might discover them.”

“There is a safe location. I will guide you.”

Nodding his head, Cowen immediately moved his feet.

He also didn’t forget to carefully choose the path so as not to catch the eyes of others.

“Hyung, if we’ve already progressed halfway, will it end in a few days? Since the latter half is complicated, will it take about a week?”

Yeon-woo, who was following behind, slyly approached and asked.

The first episode which took two weeks from start to finish.

Even if it took one more week from now, Han-bit would be finishing the story in 10 days.

“A week?”

However, Han-bit’s expectations were entirely different.

Because he had no intention of dragging out Edlen’s story for long.

“I’ll finish it faster than that.”

“Is that possible?”

“Well, it might be wrapped up tomorrow.”

“Eyy, that’s a bit…”

– Don’t cross the line.

– A 3-day clear is a bit;

– You’ll find out once you get beaten by Vares anyway.

– For real, feel it with your body.

– Is it possible if he slices Vares’ neck right away?

– Yeah, you’ll get cut by the head escort knight.

3 days was far too fast to finish one episode.

Much less because the main villain Vares hadn’t even appeared yet, the negative public opinion was overwhelming.

‘It should end tomorrow though.’

The framework of the latter half was already completely organized in Han-bit’s head.

Since the preliminary preparations were also progressing smoothly, it was a perfectly possible story.

“It is this way.”

Han-bit, who didn’t bother speaking up, continued to follow behind Cowen.

The place they entered before they knew it was near the boundary of the slums.

Cowen went deep into a complex alleyway.

“You were still using this place?”

Ria let out a questioning voice as if she recognized the destination.

“I haven’t visited since that day either. Because our tail could be caught pointlessly.”

Cowen, who kept advancing, stopped in front of an old building.

An exterior so worn out that it was broken in various places.

No matter how you looked at it, it wasn’t a building that looked intact.

“Let’s go in.”

Cowen opened the creaking door and stepped inside.

Han-bit also moved his steps following behind him.

“… Are you sure we can use this place?”

Looking at the shabby interior, Yeon-woo asked back as if dumbfounded.

Setting everything else aside, it wasn’t even a proper place to hold a conversation.

“Come this way.”

At that time, Ria grabbed his arm and led Han-bit.

She approached up to a floor patched with wooden planks.

“What is it?”

Approaching, Han-bit threw a question feigning ignorance.

Ria stretched out her hand wearing the ring without answering and placed it against the floor.

That moment.

Sss-

A gentle light began to leak out from the gaps of the planks.

Rumble-

The floor sliding sideways along with the subsequent sound.

Although it was a structure similar to what they saw at the temple, there were no stairs.

“Let’s go down.”

Ria led Han-bit into the revealed underground space.

Following her and dropping straight down, a place the size of connecting large rooms appeared.

“Wow, this place is a completely different space.”

Looking at the massive interior, Yeon-woo marveled as if fascinated.

Whether it was decorated like a resting area, tables and chairs were visible too.

It was a sight far too different from the shabby surface.

“This place is also a location created by Camon’s designs… Though many things changed. Young Lady, please take a seat first.”

After the opened floor naturally closed, Cowen pulled a chair and sat Ria down first.

Looking around his surroundings, Han-bit said while looking at a few doors installed here and there.

“Where are they connected to? There are five of them.”

“The central door is the entrance to a secret passage connected to Northon’s mansion. The rest are… things that weren’t here originally.”

At that question, Cowen approached the doors and began to examine them closely.

A moment later, he continued speaking in a surprised voice.

“This is… a magic tool that can be used like teleportation. Seeing that it’s a structure destroyed upon use, it seems he created escape routes in various places around the city. Perhaps Camon used his power here.”

– Teleportation?

– High quality *shiver*;

– Camon is a real capable person.

– Let’s act crazy and open one.

– ???: Our cat pressed it.

Magic tools capable of transferring to a specific location are not easy to obtain.

If he bothered installing those here, his intentions were clear.

He must have thought an assistant who would reveal Brooke and Vares’ crimes would appear.

“Camon…”

Ria’s expression darkened slightly upon hearing the story.

Reventia herself ended up coming here, but the things that needed to be done did not change.

Han-bit carefully placed the red rock down on the floor.

“Let’s undo the sealing stone first. We’ll only be able to find out something if we check the workshop.”

“The problem starts now. That sealing stone is a tricky item to handle. To the point even Vares gave up on it. There is a possibility it could break completely if touched incorrectly.”

Cowen warned while looking at the red rock.

Although a natural thought, the preparations to release the sealing stone were already finished.

“As speculated, it would be best to test the Northon family’s ring first. Young Lady, would it be alright to use the ring for a moment?”

“I’ll do it myself.”

Nodding her head, Ria stood up from her chair.

Cowen blocked her front and said.

“No. It could be dangerous.”

“Only the owner can use it anyway. Then there’s no way Camon would’ve made it dangerous.”

The two crossed gazes and stood in opposition with their opinions.

Han-bit, who was watching that sight, intervened to mediate.

“If she has the necklace I gave her, it will block most damage. I’ll watch from the side too.”

“That is…”

The Goblin’s Spirit Necklace that Ria equipped.

When he pointed to it, Cowen fell into deep contemplation.

Staying silent for a moment, he nodded his head as if he couldn’t help it.

“Understood. Young Lady, even so, you must step back immediately if you feel anything strange.”

“I know that too. I don’t plan on dying foolishly.”

Answering resolutely, Ria slowly moved her hand wearing the ring.

The gradually nearing sealing stone.

It didn’t take long for the tip of her extended finger to touch the surface of the red rock.

“…?”

The tense Ria panicked slightly.

Moving her hand a bit more boldly, she soon firmly grasped the sealing stone.

However, no changes occurred.

“… I don’t think this is it?”

Ria, who expected something to happen, was slightly flustered.

Because she was somewhat certain that the Northon ring would be the key this time as well.

“If it isn’t the ring… We have a big problem.”

Cowen’s expression also darkened.

Because it wasn’t easy to find another possibility starting from now.

There was nothing suitable that immediately came to mind either.

Han-bit, who was watching from the side, said towards the two people.

“If Camon sealed his own workshop himself, there probably is something prepared.”

“What do you mean prepared?”

“Even just this space is a place Camon freshly placed his hands on, isn’t it? He might have wished for his assistant to come here.”

“… It is a plausible story.”

Cowen agreed nodding his head.

“If it’s prepared…”

Listening to the conversation, Ria shifted her gaze to her surroundings.

Looking around for a moment, she walked towards the spacious area and began searching the vicinity.

And a short while later.

“Come over here!”

Ria raised her voice.

At her urgent call, everyone moved to that location.

“Did you find something?”

“This. Doesn’t this seem somewhat similar to the sealing stone?”

At Cowen’s question, Ria pointed to the floor with her finger.

An unevenly dug groove was engraved there.

“Wait a moment.”

Han-bit quickly returned bringing the red rock.

Lowering his posture, he carefully placed the sealing stone over the groove.

Click-

The red rock fit into the groove on the floor exactly as if wearing its own clothes.

That moment.

Flash-!

An intense light encroached upon the space.

“Ugh!”

“Young Lady!”

At the sudden situation, Cowen embraced Ria and took a defensive stance.

Han-bit, who stood leisurely, merely focused on the changes in the surroundings.

“There’s no need to be on guard. Since it seems the seal was released.”

“…?”

Along with Han-bit’s voice, the two people’s vision slowly returned.

“… Ah.”

At the familiar sight spread out around them, Ria let out a short sigh.

Old memories she could not forget.

Camon’s workshop which she visited like a playground over and over again.

Though slightly different from back then, it was that location far too vividly.

“This is… surprising.”

The process of a sealed space being released was the first time Cowen had seen it as well.

Because this workshop remained in his memories too, he was equally surprised.

“We don’t need to look elsewhere.”

Han-bit pointed to a translucent crystal ball and parchment placed on the workbench.

Next to it, a single note was placed.

“What…!”

Cowen, who checked the contents, widened his eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“Doesn’t it say it’s a projection magic tool recording the inside of the temple! If even the figures of Brooke and Vares are in here, it will become crucial evidence!”

Unlike his calm appearance thus far, he raised his excited voice.

– Projection magic tool?

– This is coming out from Edlen. Lol.

– There was this kind of evidence?

– Everyone, what kind of fight were you doing in the world.

– Julio’s snowball rolls all the way to here;

The appearance of evidence nobody knew of plunged the viewers into despair.

In the meantime, Cowen, who quickly picked up the translucent crystal ball, injected mana.

That moment.

Sss-

The light emitting from the crystal ball clearly projected the image of the temple.
