บท 209: Blackrock Depths (Continued)

The Blackrock Depths entrance was situated within an underground mining cavern in the northern side of Deep Stone City. Legend told that a long time ago, it was the historical remains of a Dwarven Kingdom. However, in the eyes of everyone now, it was merely a large cave. Rhode led his men towards the entrance of the underground tunnel and saw two men dressed like mercenaries leaning lazily on a table with one elbow. They were playing cards and drinking beer, clearly not interested in doing their duty.

When Rhode let out a soft cough, their ears perked up and turned their heads sharply towards the sound.

"Mr. Rhode! Y-you've arrived… we are—"

One of the mercenaries quickly addressed Rhode nervously.

"I'm here to follow up on our bet. Have they returned to the surface?"

Rhode pointed to the underground entrance, and the two mercenaries looked at each other awkwardly and shook their heads.
