Chapter 628: Once again, mysterious places underground are not an amusement park
The two hours Tsalinade promised ended at the end of our afternoon tea, and Heraz came to deliver the teleportation scrolls on a silver platter.
Where he got that silver plater, I had no idea. He even dressed like a butler, truly your average master spy.
I checked the spell once more to see if she input the calculation for the people using the scroll correctly, and checked for any sneaky spell. While I wouldn’t be able to notice any complicated trick, I could at least check for the basic and the important circuits according to what Eruha and Lesta taught me.
After all, I hadn’t completely trusted Tsalinade yet.
Thankfully, these scrolls seemed legit. If Tsalinade put anything, it would have to be woven intricately so that only a master spellmaker like Uncle Sol could notice. If she managed to do that...kudos to her, I guessed?
"What’s this?" Zarfa raised her brow when I got her one of the scrolls. It was the only one with a different colored line since it was made for a bigger number of people. "We get one too?"
"You’re the one who said something might happen once we take the relic," I shrugged.
That meant something might happen to the rest of the ruin too, right? Not only the chamber where the bead was placed. Since the only one who received the bead ’organically’ was the Hero, Zarfa turned to Jin instead.
"Ah--there was nothing happened in the ruin where I found the relic," he tapped his chin to recall. "But there’s a story about a ruin’s layout change after something was taken, a swarm of corrupted beasts coming up, or a collapse..."
"See?" I shrugged. "In that case, something might happen on your side too--or you simply get found out."
Sure, if something did happen, using the scroll might make them look suspicious, and this whole plan about being sneaky would be useless. But I’d rather have that than my friends getting trapped inside a ruin while I escaped.
