章節 633: A good deception is the one you do until the very end

Contrary to the huge arena above, the 'treasure room' itself was small.

It was as big as a normal inn bedroom--not the luxurious one. The walls were made of smooth stone that also formed the golem standing guard outside. Honestly, I had no idea how Shiny could end up entering this chamber, which made me think that the relic deliberately called for any nearby creature to be used as an agent.

Yeah--looking at that small bead sitting like a queen on a smooth stone pedestal in the middle of the room made me think that the relic might be somewhat sentient.

After all, wasn't it the relic who told Shiny to go toward the mountain? Anyway...

"The bead!"

I threw all pretense and threw my arms up, running to the middle of the room. Jade followed me while chirping cheerfully, and Shiny pointed at the bead while screeching proudly.

There! There! I speak truth!
