Chapter 6
*Wheeze*, *wheeze*, d-did I get away?
SYSTEM MESSAGE:
New Location of Interest found: [The Water-Knot of Glavras], Floor 9
Should I take that as an answer? I know at least where I am. But exactly what is here?
The view from after I exited the tunnel leading out of the lake grotto was a wide field... but still underground. From the name, I would say this place is a... Dungeon? It has that kinda feel. Besides, what cave would be divided into "floors" like this one?
Was the lake on Floor 10, or 8 then? No, it was the 10th. No other tunnels were leading the way further downwards, meaning the lake must be the bottom floor.
Not that it has anything to do with me. Or rather, I want nothing more to do with that. Those ghosts, or whatever they were, are too scary! And I don't want to meet the thing in the lake that made [Magic Sight] react like that. Nessie has probably nothing against that.
It is time to change focus on the current floor. It is a wide space, probably 150 or something meters high, but the ceiling is covered with some fog-like substance so I'm not sure. Several hills, around half the height of the cave, had created a natural labyrinth inside the open cave. The hills were too high and too large to climb up on without any tools, or maybe wings.
Even so, not climbing them isn't an option. It isn't because I have the heart of a hiker, but 'cause of the blockades in the roads made by the hills. Huge boulders that glowed in a pale blue due to [Magic Sight].
Those are monsters alright. Maybe some kinda Mimic, or something with the [Camouflage] skill? Anyway, there are two of them on each side of the entrance to the area beyond the tunnel leading to the lake. Meaning, I'm stuck!
The only other way is to climb on those hills. Still, they're so steep, that it's better to call them walls. I need something like a rope to climb up these.
