The Peculiar Red Gemstone

The moment he saw the red gemstone, Benjamin felt something was not right.

In this extraordinarily spacious chamber, apart from the red gemstone, there was nothing else. No erected stalagmites, no drooping stalactites, the ground was flat and smooth, the ceiling neat and orderly… everything here betrayed strong clues that they were man-made, and were completely unlike a naturally-formed cave.

As for the gem, it was placed directly at the center of the whole chamber. It was positioned perfectly, clearly placed there on purpose by somebody.

What does this mean?

Benjamin knew too that this was where "Soul’s Fire" left behind his treasure. The red gemstone was similar to a fire elemental crystal, but did not feel quite the same. It could very well be an item that senior mage left behind.

But…Michelle was probably here before, right.
