Chapitre 604: 27

As they come out, Frank and Ardent find themselves looking at the pointy end of a spear.

 "Those are the young guard and Mage." Ardent hear a familiar voice. He looked to see his father-in-law, Cross, was there, though he looked at the boulder.

 "Mage Cross." Ardent called out as he cleared the dust clinging to his robe.

 "Mage Ardent." Cross replied as he looked at him, "Do you find anything of interest from the place?" he asked. The way Cross word it made Ardent suspicious, before a possibility formed in his head.

 "You know something about this place." it was less of an answer and more of a statement.

 "I have my suspicion. But I will like to confirm it first before saying it." Cross said.

 "Okay. Frank, took out what we found." Ardent said to Frank. The young guard obeyed, as he put down the large crystal in front of Cross, before taking out several smaller ones from the pouch.

 Cross' breath hitched from shock and awe.
