"Extend it, I want to see more properties." He told Valentina, who proceeded to tap on the '[Extend for more properties]' button.
Eryndor read through everything, his eyes stopping on one particular property.
[Reeks of rotten eggs, with a stench that stubbornly clings to anyone who touches it—even secondhand contact from soone who used the item won't spare them.]
So that purple thing really was a Radish of ntal stability which those wolcrats consud.
No wonder those four wolcrats slled like rotten eggs, which proceeded to stick onto us.
Eryndor put it to the back of his mind and took a look at his teammates, asking.
"Are we done here? Or do y'all want to exchange sothing else?"
"Support Shrines indeed have an option of cleaning facilities. I just found it, want to use it?"
Valentina asked while pointing to several options.
Category: Maintenance & Recovery
[Self-Cleaning] – Instantly removes dirt, gri, and blood from your body and clothes. (Mild refreshing effect included.)
[Equipnt Purification] – Restores weapons and gear to pristine condition. (Removes blood, dust, and corrosion.)
[Deep Purge] – Eliminates lingering odors and stains from skin and fabric. (Recomnded after intense combat.)
[Quick Shower] – A rapid water cleanse with temperature control. (Choose between warm, cold, or refreshing mist.)
[Full Bath] – Imrse yourself in a relaxing bath with optional herbal infusions. (Available settings: Hot Spring, Ice Bath, dicinal Soak.)
[Restroom Facility] – A private chamber for necessary relief. (Equipped with sanitation and privacy enchantnts.)
Both of them shook their heads. Eryndor spread his hands and explained to her.
"You see, we are in this secret realm for a tournant. Instead of using it frequently like we did in our villas, we should use it only when necessary.
"Not to ntion it hasn't even been half a day since we arrived. We can go on for a bit longer without these things."
Eryndor himself was a clean freak, but he knew how to prioritise things. He once again asked.
"Anything else? Like so food or sothing?"
Valentina shook her head.
"Nope that was all. Paulina seems to have a shrine around her as well, we'll exchange for good food once in a while if we get bored of food pills or beast at."
Edward didn't say anything but gestured towards the wall they arrived from.
Eryndor walked towards the wall, expecting it to open like it did while entering the room, but a screen popped up instead.
[To prevent teams from camping outside the Support Shrines, we'll be teleporting you a short distance away free of charge. Please choose the direction.]
Oh? That's a valid reason indeed. People could easily set up multiple traps and what not to imdiately eliminate students exiting the Support Shrine.
He clicked in Paulina's direction and a white light imdiately filled their vision.
It felt like soone was trying to squeeze his body from all sides. Not even his head was spared, but instead felt like it was given more attention.
It felt like soone was trying to make a ball of his brain by pressing from all sides.
Finally, he felt sothing hitting his leg. By the ti his vision cleared up and he realized he had landed on the ground, he had already tumbled, laying flat on the ground.
"Jeez. That's one nasty teleport."
He spoke with frustration evident in his tone. Valentina also seed to have a bad landing, but her white snake was quick to enlarge and coil around her, softening the blow.
Edward didn't fall to the ground, but he had indeed almost lost his balance.
"This is one nasty teleport indeed. I wonder what they used. Good thing I already have experience with worse teleports, else I would've been on the ground like you newbies."
The three of them joked around for a while before resuming their journey. Through the use of the Support System, they now had a concrete idea of how far the Tundra region was.
They'd need to walk for at least thirty six hours continuously if they wanted to reach the tundra at their current pace, which was by walking slowly. That was like a day and a half.
So they tweaked up their plan a bit. Since all of them had enough stamina and endurance, they would increase their travelling speed during the day, faster than jogging but slower than running and set up camp at night for a short rest.
They obviously couldn't walk for thirty six hours even with their enhanced bodies, not to ntion using movent skills, which were even more dangerous.
What if so danger cropped up? By then, their energy reserves wouldn't be at top state to handle it.
With that settled, they imdiately put their plan in motion.
While trailing behind his group and keeping up with them, he finally had so ti to think.
Now where was I?
Yes, that Rabbit of ntal stability. The four wolcrats consud that item and gained a semblance of sanity.
Wolcrats were called beasts of occasional sanity in this secret realm. But even until now, the tournant website still displays them as beasts of negligible sanity.
Eryndor could guess why.
Valentina had ntioned that the reason behind that item's insanely high price was very likely because of its rarity in this secret realm.
If it was so rare, that explained why the information on the tournant ranking would call them beasts of negligible sanity rather than occasional sanity.
Not every wolcrat would manage to find a Radish of ntal stability, right? The situation they experienced of those four wolcrats gaining clarity in their thoughts might be rare enough that no one had encountered it yet.
Which was very likely why the website didn't change it.
That led to more thoughts appearing in his mind.
Could it be that Radish of ntal stability was more commonly found in the past?
After all, these wolcrats were called beasts of occasional sanity in the past in this secret realm. That wouldn't have been possible if there wasn't a large number of this item to sustain their seldom clarity in thoughts.
And why was there no ntion of this Radish of ntal stability? Naturally, it was because it was a resource of this secret realm.
Why would the Human Federation willingly expose what resources the secret realms under their territories had?
Would that not invite trouble if so item happened to be especially precious?
What caused the disappearance of this item? Or more accurately, a drastic decrease in numbers? Eryndor already had a guess.
Radish of ntal stability could be used to treat insanity. Didn't that an Co-founder Morris could've used it?
But to use it to such an extent that it nearly caused the item to go extinct in this secret realm? Just what did he go through?
But wait, let first confirm if it is indeed Co-founder Morris. This is an excellent opportunity.
He quickly ssaged Sander once again.
"Sorry to disturb you once again. I just wanted to ask what Co-founder Morris' condition was when he ca out of the secret realm."
The reply was quick to arrive.
"I wasn't present at that ti. Let check with my connections."
Eryndor didn't ssage anything back but simply waited.
A few minutes later Sander sent him an image along with a few ssages.
The image was Co-founder Morris' appearance when he appeared from the portal of the secret realm.
The man had torn clothes, and overgrown hair all over his body. One of his shoes seed to be missing, while the other one had a few holes.
His eyes held a dazed look, while his mouth was slightly open. The posture made him think that the photo was taken while he was muttering sothing.
And indeed, Sander's ssages below confird it.
"Morris was muttering 'got it' repeatedly when the photo was taken, and his ntal state didn't seem to be that great. Just barely holding on.
"Didn't I ntion he was sent to counseling? It was because of this reason. Fortunately he was healed back to normalcy."
Oh yea, Sander did indeed ntion this counseling stuff back in the past. I probably didn't pay attention to it.
Now that I know it though, it fits perfectly with what I had in mind.
Eryndor thought while continuing to read the ssages. He also paid attention to the 'got it' part.
Could this 'got it' have sothing to do with the deal? Does he an he 'got the healing'?
No, it does make sense but there should be sothing more fitting. What could it be?
He made a note of it and continued reading, finally stopping at the last line of the ssage.
"And yea, it was said that he reeked of rotten eggs."
Eryndor sent him a thanks as his lips curled up.
That confirms it.
Sothing happened to Co-founder Morris that the amount of Radish of ntal stability he had to use was enough to push it to the brink of extinction.
Which in turn resulted in the wolcrats' chance at sanity being drastically decreased.
But even with that, he seed to have barely held on, recovering only after dedicated treatnt from the Human Federation.
He heaved a soft sigh while following behind his team.
Up until now, he had only been assuming that Co-founder Morris was the one who was after him. But this confird it.
But it obviously didn't stop at that. He wanted to uncover more clues.
Apart from the yellow papers, is there anything else?
He thought for a few minutes before a helpless chuckle left his mouth.
Probably because he wasn't near them, none of his teammates reacted.
Jeez, I gotta contact Sander again.
