Three days had already passed since Shane found himself staring at the all too familiar underwater cavern entrance once again.
Rather, one could say that Shane was at the bottom of the cave, right next to the pond everyone had fallen inside upon their arrival.
He stared into the air as he asked Cosmo and Umbra,
"This time it should work out, right?"
Shane had made use of many different ways to escape the underwater cave, but he had yet to successfully come out of it unscathed.
Nevertheless, he was not in a bad mood, because Talia had told him that 984 tons of Syldalyr sand had been sold!
That was 29,520,000 gold coins after all!
Once he safely walked outside the cave without using several million gold coins to purchase a [Safe-return-teleportation] parchment, he would be able to pay the Starlight guild members that were worried about Shane's health.
