Chapter 65: The Treasure Quest (I)
"Alright, it's almost time for us to go back." After eating and drinking, Sivi greeted Alyssa and Theo, greeted Sasansan and was about to leave the hotel.
After all, they didn't have much to do with the other merchants, so instead of staying here, it was better to leave early and return to the castle to teach Theo how to meditate and collect magic.
As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, Sivi had taken some food and wanted to send it to them, but it turned out that the two had already gone to the empty building.
It seems that because Evanterin did not inform the lord's wife of their arrival, she did not want others to see her whereabouts.
From beginning to end, Sivi didn't find out how the other party left, and sure enough, the strength of Grand Magician Sharon was unfathomable.
On the way, Sivi walked nonchalantly as he opened the system panel to see if there was anything in the achievement store that he could use now.
However, he found that the words of the [Girl's Homecoming] mission had changed on the first page.
[Mission: The Maiden's Homecoming II]
[Quest content: The next stage of the quest can only be activated after completing the 'Initial Form'.] 】
【Difficulty:★★★】
[Mission Requirements: Not Activated]
[Status: Accepting Applications]
[Branch Quest: Gnolls in Noaig (Uncompleted)]
[Quest Ring: Completion of the 1st Ring "Girl's Homecoming" - → 2nd Ring "Girl's Homecoming II"]
Is this a serial quest...... Sivi was a little weak.
Although this time it seemed that the task of the first ring had been completed easily, Sivi did not feel the slightest bit happy.
Not only because he had finally made up his mind to tear his face with the lord's wife because of the arrival of Tio and Princess Evanterine, but also because he had taken on some unspeakable heavy responsibilities for himself.
The so-called cocooning is probably what it feels like.
It's useless to continue to feel sorry for yourself now. Xiwei immediately adjusted his mentality and switched the task page to the resource page.
Although according to Sivi's game experience, the rewards for each link of this kind of serial quest are not very good until they are all completed, but for Sivi, who is so poor that he can't do it, no matter how much it is, as long as there are rewards now......
However, to Sivi's disappointment, the resources on the resource page still only have those pitiful looking numbers, and there is no increase.
So the reward you get isn't a resource? Xiwei simply turned off the system layout, and then opened the bronze storage box, and there was indeed a new thing inside.
【Lost Treasure Key (Consumables)】
【Consumables/Curiosities】
[A one-time magic key that can open the treasure dungeon - 'Haunted Abandoned Gold Mine'.] 】
['That gold mine isn't a good place...... I've got a couple of old buddies out there! —BY Grey Dwarf Nock Anvil]
Treasure dungeon? Xiwei put the key away and opened the Door of Trial page, and there was already a small green dot in the originally dense red dots on it, which was some of the copies that Xiwei had cleared.
By the way, after Xiwei opened the [Night Forest Center], there was no green playable dungeon, but a yellow semi-activated dungeon.
【Ra's Sun Temple Ruins: Basement 1)
[Opening conditions: 1. Night Forest Center" evaluation C or higher (completed). 2. Complete the mission "Beginning to take shape". 】
When he saw this copy, the only thing that came to mind in Xiwei's mind was whether the name of the copy was getting longer and longer......
In addition, a new green dot appears in the corner of the page not far from the green dots.
【Haunted Abandoned Gold Mine】
[Open condition: Hold the specified key.] 】…,

One afternoon later, Sivi finally fulfilled his duties as a teacher, not only teaching Theo how to meditate, but also handing over several of his water elemental magic skills to Alyssa, leaving him once again in the dilemma of not knowing what to teach his students next......
The Lord's wife didn't eat with them, and Sivi thought that the guy was probably afraid of getting angry—though he didn't know if there was such a thing in this world—and didn't want to see them for the time being.
And the mage who likes to show off like a peacock will not be able to complete the verification trial until tomorrow at the earliest, and he still doesn't know how to play with the toad in that magic binding enchantment......
After lulling the two girls to sleep, Xiwei quietly summoned the door of trial, selected the newly appeared treasure copy, and confirmed that he had entered.
The surroundings changed suddenly, and the rooms that were warm and comfortable became dark and damp caverns.
However, the usual tents, campfires, and supply crates were still there, and behind the tents, the entrance to the cave could be faintly discerned. It's just that according to the general situation, I'm afraid that there is also an enchantment at that entrance that makes it impossible for him to leave.
After taking all the supplies in the supply box, Sivi headed deeper into the cavern.
This cave deserves the name of 'gold mine', and under the cold light torch in Sivi's hand, a little gold will be reflected on the surrounding walls from time to time.
Use the collection technique on those golden places, and wait patiently for a minute or two to obtain the natural gold of the material. However, judging from the fact that it is only about the size of a grain of rice, the content of this natural gold is very small.
In contrast, if you kill a monster in this gold mine, which is probably a miscellaneous soldier, and then collect its corpse, you have about a 50% chance of obtaining a coarse molten gold ingot.
Heavy gold ingots are obviously worth much more than golden sand, the size of a grain of rice.
The kind of monster that carries gold ingots with it should belong to some branch of ghouls.
The simple ghoul crusade level is only about 5~8, and like the goblins, there are occasionally more powerful mutants among ghouls. However, compared to the goblins who can be called rookie teachers, the discovery rate of ghouls is much less, so there are also many different branches, but Sivi's predecessor can distinguish most of the goblins, but even if they are instilled with systematic cramming, they still can't recognize all the ghoul species.
However, just like the ancients didn't know the principle of fermentation in the Dao, but they were still able to make good wine, even if they didn't know what type of ghoul they were, but for Sivi, as long as they knew that the Dao was a goblin with five of the ten that would explode their underwear, this product would be able to produce good things.
In addition to gold ingots, ghouls can also collect other things, the most common ones are iron pickaxes, miners' helmets, slave cloth, and the like. These are all recognized by the system as equipment and can be worn directly on the body, but Xiwei really can't be interested in wearing these dirty things...... Especially when their stats are not as good as their own equipment.
★ It has nothing to do with the body
