"Find out everything that goes on there, who are the important people? What are their strengths and weaknesses? their relationships with each other, their wants and needs, everything. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"
"that's too much. I need more money to do something like this. It will be very hard to spy on nobles without more money." Redthorn said.
Esdras thought that it was reasonable so he gave him a few gold pieces.
After all, he couldn't just show up there and use brute force to take everything and punish the people he didn't like. After all, this was a place of law, and he wasn't strong enough to ignore the laws of the tower.
Besides, he wanted to know what was really happening there and what made his uncle so desperate to kill him so irrationally. He wanted to know who his allies were and what was his uncle's intention exactly.
It was easy to blame his uncle, but he had lost since noticed several inconsistencies in this theory.
This did not mean that is the uncle didn't want him dead that was already confirmed but he wanted to know why did he get so anxious about it?
Moreover, how did he recruit an aspiring mage like Robert to help him? He knew about the financial and political situation of the family very well it should not be easily done, if at all.
Redthorn took the money and went over to regroup with the rest of the goblins who were planning to ambush them in Greendepth cavern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, there was also another reason that he wanted Redthorn, it was his trait. How could he not be greedy for it? In fact, it was a cheat like ability.
He wanted to study deeply in the future and see how he could best utilize it. In the future, he could not possibly do everything himself he needed capable allies and subordinates.
Esdras carried on to the rendezvous point, and met with the others successfully. He carefully presented the box to the crown prince who got up and hugged him.
"Thank you, you are all brave heroes! I am not one to forget my depths, and I owe you a heavy one this time. I will make sure to reward you."
Daylen and Esdras what are the only ones who understood exactly what this meant everyone else just humbly nodded along.
The mages especially only did this for the mission that they were assigned, and not for anyone in particular, except themselves.
They did not remain idle very long because of his nagging, Esdras did not want to stay very close to that down, even at the expense of hurrying along the road.
Everything was as usual on the first day, but on the next day, he felt unusual movement in his sea of consciousness.
The Pharaoh is awake once again.
Esdras met him in his spirit form.
"So, how long has it been since I slumbered? Not very long, I imagine. So did you think about what we talked about last time?" The pharaoh asked.
"Yes, I have. And before that I want to ask you some questions of my own is that all right, pharaoh?" Esdras nodded.
"Sure, sure— wait why did you call me pharaoh? That's strange I don't recall telling you to call me that."
" I mean you were sleeping in a sarcophagus inside the dungeon so, I just thought—"
" fine whatever you can call me that if you like. How many times did you attempt the dungeon anyway do you know how many times it was clear before you?"
" that's an odd question, but I actually do know." Esdras smiled proudly, " it was never cleared before then I was the first want to clear it."
" are you telling the truth? But then how was my sealing formation opened? It's impossible for the seal to wear off in the first attempt. Not only was it my own seal that was also the effect of the labyrinth magic."
" labyrinth magic? What seal you mean that gate to the room you were sleeping in? I just opened it normally I just pushed it a little and it's opened…"
" cut the bullshit!"
" I am serious. I have no reason to lie to you about this." Esdras rolled his eyes, what seal? He didn't see anything of the like. This year was probably a rodent in such a long time.

" there's no way we will figure that out by discussing it. Let us talk about more important things. Like this," Esdras in the real world, took out one of the infernal pacts.
" can you see it in the real world?" Esdras wasn't exactly sure how this worked, but he was trying to visualize the paper so that the pharaoh can see it.
"Hey! That's mine!" The pharaoh was enraged.
" it was yours, and now it's mine. Who told you to keep it in a treasure chest? By the way, what do you do that isn't that weird?"
Esdras had to ask because this was a real world. It was not a game designed by developers, so how could items to be put in treasure chest? It was impractical.
" it wasn't me why would I put my items in treasure chests? This is just an after effect of the labyrinth magic. It's extremely mysterious and incomprehensible. Especially since this was a natural labyrinth."
" is labyrinth of magic very powerful? Can you tell me about it more?" Esdras asked for the gleaming eyes.
This was actually one of the rewards that he got for clearing the dungeon, and he wanted to know more about it, and how he could collect the rest of the magic legacy fragments.
" sure I know a fair bit, but why should I tell you what will I get in exchange? I think I will be in the mood to tell you about it if you cultivate the blood moon crystal for me."
Esdras decided that he must fix this arrogant attitude today.
