Chapter 293: Good old fashioned training
When Damon logged in again, he saw that both Ellora and Kaelthorn were still busy searching the place. Damon raised a brow curiously. Ellora searching for him was okay, but the other guy was also being a little too keen.
Damon went into stealth and sneaked up right behind Kaelthorn before shouting loudly in his ears. "Are you hoping to find something good and pocket it when I am not looking?"
Kaelthorn let out a startled growl, almost tripping over a loose stone as he spun around, hand flying to the hilt of his sword. "Bloody hells! You—" He paused when he saw Damon grinning mischievously, arms folded with an amused expression.
"I was checking for traps," Kaelthorn said flatly, trying to recover his dignity. "Wouldn’t want you walking into something dangerous."
Damon snorted. "Sure. And I totally believe you after all of that backstabbing."
Ellora walked over with a smirk. "Don’t worry, my Lord. I kept an eye on him the entire time. He did find a ring a while back, but I confiscated it immediately."
"Oh? Show me." Damon became curious.
Unfortunately, the ring Ellora handed over was just another NPC item. Not really the best one when it came to stats, but it was of a high level nonetheless. "Well, I guess something is better than nothing."
Kaelthorn grumbled something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like "tyranny," but he didn’t push the matter. Instead, he crossed his arms and leaned against a cracked pillar, eyes sweeping the surroundings with practiced calm.
"There is nothing left in this dump. You have already picked clean every little thing. Unless there’s some hidden mechanism or sealed vault nearby, we might be wasting our time."
Damon would be lying if he said he did not agree with the bastard. There really seemed to be nothing in the place. "Alright. Let’s just leave." He mumbled and started to walk when he suddenly noticed a weird crack on the wall.
Hmm? Damon paused. His well-honed scraping senses were tingling. He walked closer to take a look. Both Ellora and Kaelthorn looked curiously. They watched and watched as Damon casually took out a unique rock from the crack.
