Chapter 104: The Hidden Treasure (2)

Perseus POV

As for the fallen star, they were mostly just speculations of it being a super rare steel where you need a god's blessing for it to mold, so a pope who can contact a god should be able to help the person who finds it if it was the case, but there's no actual proof of its specific whereabouts or what it actually is.

I then read it a bit more and repeat it over several times till I hear the fireworks set up by the village to celebrate, the children and Vince fell asleep as they're tired, so I used magic to carry them to Vince room and place them there to sleep before going to my own to sleep as well.

But this time, this dream is different from all others, I can't control it despite the fact that I can lucid dream, so I know that this is some hidden thing at play here, a strong power at that, because even Leilah and Ruka combined can't stop a person from their lucid dreams.

A god, maybe?

I'm already in a position where my existence is now known amongst the seasonal gods, so them invading my dreams in order to make contact with me in secret isn't that unexpected.

"Alright, which one are you? Lilith, is this you?"

"Lilith...?" a male voice questioned "I see, so you met her too."

"Of course, it's a god, can you please introduce yourself before introducing yourself as the god who's after my ass? Is this the spring god?"

"I'm...

"Ugh, worst dream ever."

I edged ya on, you're not gonna know about that dream for a while, but you're gonna be a bit surprised by who it was though, so I'll keep this for later since you don't need to know about that too much. That was an interesting interaction I had there, can't believe that it happened.

But as soon as I got to my senses, Leilah who woke up as well pushed me down and gave me a kiss for the start of the year, if I'm older, I would have acted on my urges, damn you author for not giving me my appropriate time skip.

"This is why I hate having guests over." Ruka complained

"Why don't you just sleep with my parents then?" I said after I pushed Leilah away for a bit "She literally said last night that she'll do this for good luck even though it clearly raised a flag."

"By the way, when I woke up last night...who was in your dream?" Ruka asked "It's none of my sisters this time." Ruka pointed out

"You'll know later, anyway, let's go pack for our trip to the south as we won't get stopped this time, people are hungover and tired for a few days, so it's ideal, besides, I don't want to make waste of the weather, even though the southern continent don't have autumn or winter due to how hot it is, it should be bearable right now and we don't have time to waste."

"Yeah, you can take the shower first too." Leilah offered Ruka "I need my breakfast."

"Breakfast?" Ruka raised an eyebrow

"His lips."

"Haaah...thought so, go ahead and explode into sparkles of candy."

"Phew, almost late for the schedule teleportation." Leilah breathe a sigh of relief

We packed really quick and left the house against my parent's orders since this treasure that grandpa Laker told me about seems useful. In the book, the temple with the treasure of the first demon lord is frequently sought after, so we can't waste any time in getting it.

We found a place that have a teleportation array that took us to the southern continent, but not just any part of it, the one closest to the desert. We arrive at this city of Garlo.

Garlo is a very touristy spot as people can get here to experience the desert, get some tours to nearby temples, meet unique animals and all that stupid stuff, and right now it's a bit quiet due to people being tired from the nights before which will allow us to have a smoother journey.

But first, we need to find an inn or a hotel to stay in while we spend time gathering information. The temple itself is one of the most visited site here, but the problem is that I either need to pay for a license to join the other archeologist in trying to find a way in or I'll have to be with the other tourist and look from a certain distance.

The temple has never been opened and is made of 10 star materials that can't be molded thanks to ancient enchantments, people can't risk treasures inside being destroyed, so no strong mages are allowed to hit it. There's 2 entrances at front and back and the structure extends a far underground under the sand.

There are writings on the sides of the temple that said the temple would deteriorate immediately once the treasure and a person made contact, so if anyone mange to find a way in and somehow manage to find their way to the treasure and survive, they'll have to get out in the same way when it breaks down.

There's no way I can break in since I have no clue about this kind of stuff, I can be invisible, but I need those archeologists help mix with Ruka's and Leilah's knowledge if I want a chance of getting inside.

These 2 are the least knowledgeable about the world amongst the roses since they stayed so isolated, but it's not to the point of being anywhere useless, so...I'm gonna need to buy that license, it's fucking expensive as well, only certain people can get discounts and afford it without giving away all their family savings.

I have the money, but...3 people? That's huge chunk of money that I need for a lot of other equipments in the future when my body develops enough to use them.
