"Destroy it???" they all exclaimed when I explained to them what Asmodeus said kanina. Although wala akong sinabi na anak siya ni Asmodeus because they might panic. All I told them is that we heard it from Diablo's friend. Ngayon kasi, nandito kami sa isang public library na malayo sa kastilyo.
"Our mission is to hand it over to our Emperor but a demon Emperor said to destroy it, why though?" Velvet asked
"There must have been a reason why the Emperor need it, or maybe he plans to destroy it?" Aqua said
"Who knows" sagot ko naman
"But one thing is for sure here.." I added
"There must have been a heavy reason why the 3rd Emperor hid it, whatever it is, we must search for it" biglang singit ni Lance. We were thinking the same thing.
"or maybe the answer lies on the dungeon" I said and Lance nodded
"Let's look for some information about this dungeon" Lance suggested
"D-Did you just say dungeon?" rinig namin mula sa kabilang shelf kaya agad akong tumayo at pumunta sa likod ng shelf
"We did. Do you know anything about the dungeon?" I asked
He was a little boy holding a cart full of books.
"Y-Yes, I read something about it. I love book, you know" he said with a smile
"Where is that book now?" I asked
"The Emperor asked us to burn it yesterday" he answered and my eyes widen. Why the hell would he burn it?
Dinala ko ang batang lalaki sa mesa kung saan kami nag uusap lahat. Pinaupo namin siya at hinintay na magsalita siya.
"That dungeon you were talking about" he said
"is really really really dangerous. You must not go there. It's a demon's lair. You can never go back." he said with fear
"M-My papa, he was the best Adventurer in our town and the only thing that came back is his hand, out of 20 of them one survived." he said
"Where is that survivor now?" I asked
"He died" he answered
"Died??? How?" I asked
"He hung himself" he answered with a shaky voice
If this dungeon is very dangerous, why do we have to get that fucking scroll? Wala namang mangyayari kapag hindi yun kukunin. It's safe there, why do we have to disturb it?
"T-That dungeon lies in the deepest region of the Northwood Pines. And you know what's the most ironic thing?" he said with tears
"Those people who found the dungeon never came back. There was only one group who never came back but the rest of the groups who went in came back with one or two survivor but died after a few days. Those groups with survivors were actually killed in the forest, not in the dungeon." he added
"You mean, if the group came back, they didn't reach the dungeon but instead, they were killed or attacked in the jungle and when a group never comes back, they made it but they died in the dungeon?" Lance asked and he nodded
"According to the book na nabasa ko, the Northwood Pines is the home of Cerberus, Lucifer's pet. A three headed lion with a snake tail and an elephant body. He guards the Northwood Pines and the Tombs of Horror" he said
