Chapter 87 Cave

?After talking for some time, the siblings decided to start moving.

Also, before they left, Nathan gave the condition that if they don't find what they're looking for within an hour, they would have to go back by then with or without the evolution stone.

That is because it is already quite late at this time. The sun is about to set by then.

Being in the forest once the sun disappeared is nothing but wishing for a disaster to fall upon them.

And so, with that thought in mind, they set off.

Whenever they encounter aggressive monsters like the dog from before, Nathan handles it in just a matter of a few seconds.

Because of that, their group was able to travel smoothly the whole time.

When the 1 hour time limit that Nathan gave was about to run out, the group arrived at a cave.

"We're finally here!" Cheered Natalie, followed by Issa's excited cries.

Meanwhile, Rara on Nathan's hands has turned into a well-behaved pet as it just remained quiet the whole time.

Seeing this cave here, Nathan felt that it was a little unusual.

He turned to Natalie, who is also the writer of this 'world' and asked, "So? Where exactly are we right now?"

Without turning her head, Natalie answered, "Well, first I must tell you that, this forest we are in is known as the Northern Great Forest."

"Hoo~ sounds like an interesting place." Said Nathan,

Natalie nodded, "It is, I'll tell you about it some other time, Brother. For now, I'll tell you about this cave right in front of us."

"This cave was actually just written by me as a place that my character will chance upon and meet with an opportunity."

As Natalie explains, the group continued to move forward, entering the cave without hesitation.

The inside of the cave is not dark as one would have expected.

That is because there's moss sticking on the walls that for some reason emits a gentle glow lighting up the cave.

Curious, Nathan used appraisal on it.

[Luminescent Moss]

[Details: Moss that can be found in places that are dark, humid, and has a concentration of magic particles in the air.]

….

Nathan found it interesting and so he took a bit of it from the wall and kept it inside his storage.

There was not much in this cave but a path that Nathan doesn't know where it leads to.

But since Natalie looks like she knows where she's going, Nathan just followed while walking beside her.

As if to confirm his thoughts, soon they arrived at the end of the cave path.

It's not exactly the 'end' since in front of them is a door made out of iron.

On the side, there's a big rock that has some writings on it.

Nathan read it, "'Behind the door, you will get what you seek. But do not be greedy or your head might slip.'"

He chuckled, "This is pretty straightforward warning, huh."

At this time, Natalie suddenly tilted her head as she looked at Nathan, "You can read that, brother?"

She is pointing at the writings that Nathan just read a moment ago with a puzzled look on her face.

Nathan nodded casually, saying, "Yeah, I can read it perfectly, I haven't gone blind yet anyway."

After getting Nathan's confirmation, Natalie was not able to contain the surprise on her face any longer.

"What? But how, brother?"

She is reacting like this because what Nathan read was from an unknown writing system.

The writings on the stone are of course also written by her.

But at that time, she just said that it was written in the Old Ancient Language.

Looking at it right in front of her, she is not more surprised!

Unexpectedly, Nathan can even read this said language!

As for how, she doesn't even know that even her, the author of this world, is not omnipotent in this place.

But Nathan only shrugged at her question, he asked, "So, I bet that the evolution stone thingy that you wanted is inside that door, correct?"

Seeing that Nathan doesn't seem to want to answer her, Natalie can only sigh.

Then, she fixed her mood and came back to normal.

She replied, "Yes, brother. Just like you said, behind that door is an evolutionary stone."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Without hesitation, Nathan took a step forward and pushed the metal door open.

A heavy creaking sound echoed in the cave path as the door was being opened.

Although the metal door was pretty heavy for a normal person, for Nathan who has 10 on his power level, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake.

Soon the metal door was fully wide open and the scene inside was shown in their eyes.

*Whistle~*

Looking at the scene on the other side of the door, Nathan can't help but whistle playfully.

"This place is like a treasure house, eh~" he said.

What's behind the door was like a paradise full of treasures!

Gold was all over the ground, jewelries being mixed on it. There are also things that Nathan doesn't know about but seems to emit a powerful energy.

Just one appraisal on any of them was enough to leave his mouth gaping.

Turning his head to Natalie, at this time she has a dazzled expression as she looks at everything inside.

"Wow…" she exclaimed,

"I knew that I wrote this place as a treasure paradise, but I never expected that it would be this amazing." Muttered Natalie as she stares for a while at those things.

Soon she shook her head and stabilized her emotions.

"I should focus on what I need to get. Do not be greedy." She reprimanded herself and slowly calmed down.

Nathan, with his enhanced hearing, was able to hear Natalie's muttering and the little surprise inside him disappeared.

'Yeah, there was a warning already to not be greedy. I can get anything I want without getting it from here anyway.' he thought.
