Crystal cave and unimaginable treasures (Updated)

Gahrkal looked around and began to hear the birds singing and as some were already flying Gahrkal had been so distracted that the sun had come out again and this decided to stand and to spend time until Lhiara and Hiara woke Gahrkal decided to explore the surroundings.

They spent about 10 minutes and Gahrkal completely turned the town to find hidden things but the maximum he found was a small box with very old and ugly jewelry.

Gahrkal remembered that he was still without reviewing the biggest house of all that supposedly belonged to the head of the village. Francis already knew about this because of the many sleeves and novels he read in his life.

[Thanks for the useful information] (Gahrkal)

The door of the house was on the floor and it seemed that the structure was about to collapse at any moment and stopped to think for a while.

It was obvious that a house collapsing on him was impossible that this could kill him but there was also the possibility of being trapped without the possibility of any exit besides that there was also the chance to be totally immobilized by the weight.

Gahrkal decided to wait for Lhiara and Hiara to wake up and at halftime he decided to reach into his tunic to read some books he received but at that moment Gahrkal could not find the books...as if he had lost them.

[Oh shit... I hope I have not lost them...right now I would use one of those "Inventories" in the novels] (Gahrkal)

Gahrkal said this and in front of him appeared a screen that showed the names of the books he had received.

Gahrkal imitated what they normally did in the novels and reached into the screen and took the black cover book that was in his inventory.

Gahrkal did not find anything strange the book was covered by a black leather cover and the ink in the book was a strange red color and when reading the 3rd page of the book a message appeared in his vision.

[Summon Gahrkal Rock Servant L.1]

Gahrkal finished by reading all the books and got up to date with the basic information of the world the laws of the 4 kingdoms the locations of the 4 kingdoms and a lot of important areas marked on a map that had now appeared in his vision showing his current location.

Also, one of the books detailed the available jobs that could be obtained and the most dangerous of all these was to be an adventurer in addition to also obtained the current information of each adventurer guild that would be in each of the kingdoms.

Gahrkal also obtained a great deal of information about the heroes and currently important adventurers that were found throughout the 4 major territories.

Gahrkal observed that at the moment it was in the territory of the north which was privileged by its mountains which offered great amount of minerals and magic wood of the forests inhabited by magical creatures.

Gahrkal obtained the latest information available about magical creatures, history of the kingdoms, trade differences and relations between these kingdoms, maritime relations between the kingdoms and also the information of the crises that these happened, wars and problems between nobles from kingdom to kingdom and the magical institutions of each kingdom as well as the military institutions.

Gahrkal had finally finished reading all the books and the voices of Lhiara and Hiara began to be heard.

[Master look at our new form] (Lhiara Hiara)

Both voices were heard at the same time and Gahrkal turned to see both fairies who were behind him but Gahrkal looked where he looked the appearance of the two fairies had not changed much except that in their heads there was now a tiara with a jewel in the center of this tiara.

Gahrkal decided to inspect the two fairies to see what had changed and was completely silent to observe the numerical values of the pair of fairies.

Hiara cheerfully began to dance in the air and when flying to some extent the brightness of an object being reflected by the sun blinded her momentarily causing her to crash into an old barrel that was nearby.

Lhiara hastened to help Hiara and Gahrkal approached her to remove the pieces of wood and helped her to get rid of the dust and Gahrkal spoke.

[You're okei? What happened? You still can not control your new body completely?] (Gahrkal)

Gahrkal looked around and noticed a bright object under a pile of old timbers covered in undergrowth and decided to speak to Lhiara.

[Lhiara burns that pile of garbage and I'm in charge of helping Hiara] (Gahrkal)

Lhiara accented with her head and flew to the pile of garbage and began to cast fire spells to burn it while Gahrkal cleaned the dress, hair and wings of Hiara.

Lhiara finished burning the pile of wood and on the floor we could see a metal door that was totally healthy from the humidity, bad things and all the damage of the environment and Hiara spoke when she saw the door.

[Surely it's an enchanted metal door Master so surely whoever placed that door means there's something very valuable down there.] (Hiara)

Gahrkal watched the door for a few moments and walked up to it and crouched down with a clenched fist breaking it and causing it to walk into the dark void that was below you could also see a staircase made of metal but it was impossible that Gahrkal could use it since he would simply break it with his own weight.

Gahrkal threw himself down after 7 seconds of falling freely. He touched the ground sinking to the waist and with very little effort left the ground and Gahrkal's voice was heard in the darkness.

[Lhiara give us some lights please.] (Gahrkal)

Lhiara raised her hand invoking a flame that illuminated the tunnel and Gahrkal took a piece of wood and lit it with the flame using a torch but within seconds the tunnel began to be illuminated by hundreds of different colored crystals that emerged from the walls.

Lhiara and Hiara watched the Crystals and began to dance of the emotion in the air while Gahrkal tried to understand the situation in which he had gotten himself, and he spoke.

[Could one of you two tell me what makes them so happy?] (Gahrkal)

Lhiara stopped dancing and began to explain without omitting any detail about the crystals.

[Master this is a mine of crystals and as far as I can see they are also pure and apparently when we go down here our mana gave them power reviving their properties and possibly reviving them we can also take all the crystals we want and their value in the market is extremely high and considering that these crystals are pure they can sell for a fortune I advise to take all the crystals that are possible] (Lhiara)

Lhiara was very greedy but Gahrkal really did not care about that, but rather he was glad to hear that those crystals were worth huge fortunes and without thinking twice he began to break them with his hands putting them in his inventory.

While they followed the tunnel Gahrkal broke at least 831 pieces of glass of various colors including I start a full beta of glass that looked like a rainbow and many messages began to appear in the vision of Gahrkal.

Gahrkal continued observing the list and it seemed to have no end so he decided to stop looking at it since it seemed that it would never finish showing objects and Gahrkal spoke to both fairies.

[Let's keep moving and keep collecting crystals!] (Gahrkal)

Unfortunately Gahrkal fell before his own temptation and wanted to take all the crystals he could take before reaching the end of the tunnel but at a certain moment Gahrkal came to an entrance and found a huge well and at the bottom of this well there seemed to be a small and sharp light.

The well appeared to be hundreds of meters deep since the light seemed to be very small but Lhiara began to explain what it was.

[It seems that this is the main beta of crystals and so it can be seen that it barely has enough mana to produce crystals, so I think this cave will disappear very soon.] (Lhiara)

Lhiara said these words and in the head of Gahrkal this only meant that the crystals that could be obtained would be very limited and that this cave would die very soon making the crystals totally useless and worthless except for those that had already been taken.

Gahrkal immediately filled his head with different ideas and started asking Lhiara questions.

[Is it possible to give mana to the main crystal to prevent this cave from dying? Is there anything we can do to prevent this cave from disappearing? If this cave disappears, does it mean that we have too little time to collect more crystals?] (Gahrkal)

Hiara spoke loudly explaining some methods to deliver mana to the main crystal and other methods to give the cave a little more time to live.

[There are several ancient methods which implied that the miners of these mines hired at least 2 or 3 high-ranking wizards, usually students who needed quick money, and these miners asked the wizards to touch the main crystal and deliver mana to feed the crystal and revive it...but I'm afraid there's a dark side to this method too...] (Hiara)

Gahrkal decided not to ask and continued listening to what Hiara said.

[Usually the miners offered a large amount of money and by having the magician hand over his mana to the crystal this magician was too weak to fight and at that moment the miners took that magician hostage using him every time his mana recovered to be able to feed the main crystal.] (Hiara)

Gahrkal started to feel annoyed when he heard this but at the same time he understood that human greed was bigger than anything else while Hiara kept explaining.

[Master, if you go down there and feed the main crystal directly, I'm afraid you could overload it by causing this cave to collapse on itself by the excessive mana.] (Hiara)

Hiara remained silent for a few seconds and spoke again.

[Master, I am afraid that your mana is very excessive and it is impossible for you to feed the main crystal without managing to cause the cave to collapse on our heads.] (Hiara)

Gahrkal looked around and spoke to the pair of fairies.

[Go and collect more crystals, and in the meantime I will explore the cave in search of some valuable things that may have been left down here and when you remove the crystals, just use my shared inventory so you can leave all the crystals that you take out when they finish or get tired, go to the entrance and wait for me there okay?] (Gahrkal)

Gahrkal after being all night reviewing his things and his statistics screen discovered that he could open a separate inventory for his colleagues to get the booty they could get.

Lhiara and Hiara left in different directions using their spells to break Crystals and throw them into the shared inventories while Gahrkal observed the clear light at the bottom of the well and he decided to throw himself to the bottom of it.

Gahrkal fell for a few seconds until he reached the bottom of the well and observed the small crystal but at that moment he heard as if rocks were moving, and he quickly realized that he was not alone in that darkness.

The strange sound of moving rocks was getting closer and closer to Gahrkal until at some point strange red lights could be seen pointing steadily towards Gahrkal but he quickly took and used [Volcanic Strike] at the time of the explosion the light created by the Fire illuminated the creature and Gahrkal could clearly see the name and level of the creature.

[You have entered the territory of the Crystal worm]

[Crystal worm has appeared]

Gahrkal I observe the huge rocky path and accidentally his hand touched the crystal feeding it with mana and a message appeared in front of his vision.

[Mana lost 1900]

[You have fed the main crystal and this has come back to life]

At that time the well was fully illuminated and the worm of Cristral was faced with Gahrkal.

Gahrkal did not feel anything in particular when observing the worm since I never expected to find such a thing down here since I had not found any monster in the whole upper part of the cave.

The crystal worm immediately charged against Gahrkal but this was made to one side and hit with his bare hand to the worm making him stay paralyzed for a few seconds due to the force of the blow and a message appeared in front of the eyes of Gahrkal.

[A critical hit has been achieved]

[You have caused 13,371 of damage against crystal worm]

The worm began to wallow on the ground trying to regain its balance until he managed to do so and this time was brutally beaten between what appeared to be his eyes with the hammer "Cerberus tongue" causing a large amount of green blood to emerge from the wound on his forehead and again another message appeared in the vision of Gahrkal.

[a brutal blow against the enemy has been achieved]

[You have caused 51,457 of damage against crystal worm]

[crystal worm died dead due to severe trauma in the frontal lobe area]

[The original crystal heart has been obtained]

[Crystal devourer teeth have been obtained] x 283

At the time of the death of the Crystal worm the cave began to tremble and this seemed to be collapsing and in the distance from where Gahrkal was there was an entrance that had stairs that seemed to be the one that led to the top of the crystal cave and Gahrkal, before running, approached and kicked off the main crystal of the cave and threw it into his inventory and began to run up the stairs.

Gahrkal ran in a hurry until finally he reached the top of the Crystal cave and used the mini map he had and ran to the exit and met with Lhiara and Hiara and these went up while Gahrkal took the ladder and began to raise it while this little by little was beginning to break due to the weight of Gahrkal's body until it reached the top and took the frame of the entrance and managed to get out of the cave.

Gahrkal quickly took both fairies into their skulls while he began to run as fast as he could away from the town until he came to the crops and Liara and Hiara came out of his skull to see how everything collapsed along with the people who It sank in the earth.

While Lhiara and Hiara were watching as everything went down Gahrkal took out from his inventory the [original Crystal Heart] and showed it to the two fairies to see if they could find some kind of use and at the moment that Gahrkal showed this crystal the Two fairies got excited and started talking at the same time.

[A crystal heart!? You could create a weapon worthy of a god with that or even feed a city for many years! The possibilities are endless!] (Lhiara/Hiara)

Gahrkal observed the two fairies and all the noise stopped being heard by the sound of Hiara's stomach and everyone laughed at the same time and Gahrkal spoke.

[First eat and then we'll see what we'll do with this thing okay?] (Gahrkal)

Gahrkal went to the road where the crops started and broke the fence by taking several woods and ruined a part of the crops to create a campfire while Lhiara created a campfire Gahrkal reviewed his inventory and extracted the old military rations of the empire.

The menu consisted of meats of 3 different creatures with a small liquid that was inbuido with mana that allowed the recovery of energy and the healing of wounds along with a bottle of what seemed to be a light alcohol but this little matter for the pair of fairies since these immediately began to eat.

Gahrkal began to observe how the sky fell on the horizon and said aloud.

[My first adventure...It was fantastic!!!] (Gahrkal)

Gahrkal felt like a child exploring the forest with his friends but this time he was a monster that had defeated another monster.

Gahrkal spoke to the pair of fairies one last time.

[Eat and go to sleep on your stones in my inventory...tomorrow will be another magnificent day.] (Gahrkal)
