Arthur closed the interface and took a deep breath.
Even after everything that had happened today, the new skill made him feel strangely energized.
Arthur glanced toward the explorers.
They had finished gathering most of the materials from the boss corpse.
The huge ogre core had already been dug out and wrapped carefully in cloth.
Looks like they were almost done.
Arthur started walking back toward them.
His steps were relaxed, but the smile on his face refused to disappear.
Ryn noticed him first.
The man raised an eyebrow.
"What's with that face?"
Arthur tilted his head.
"What face?"
"The one that says you just got away with something."
Arthur laughed.
"Maybe I did."
The captain looked over as well.
"So, how did your investigation go?"
Arthur shrugged casually.
"I checked the markings around the throne. Same ritual pattern i saw in previous mission."
The captain's expression turned serious.
"Another ritual…"
Arthur nodded.
