Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Down in the dung

Florifel used an earth spell to stop the dung golem from escaping. She had no idea what animated it. Was it something that the horses ate? Something in the water?

She looked around. Almost all the dung had been collected in the incinerator and taken care of. This was the last golem. With a sigh, she took the shovel and wheeled the incinerator closer to the golem.

First, she took off the head. Then, the arms, and, finally, she began to grind away on the torso. Then, something caught her eye.

It was small and shiny.

"A dungeon core?" She murmured. The light was not moving, so she decided to finish with the golem. Least it ran off to give her more work.

When she was done, she took one look at the dung-smeared walkway and shuddered. She would need to sweep, wash and dry that. Lilia usually did that part of the quest. But now, Lilia was in a pleasant shop and looking at flowers.
