We enter the tenth floor of this dungeon and
"Gold! Gold everywhere!" [Diana]
"This whole floor is gold. Real gold" [Merlin]
"It must be valuable to mine the gold here" [Dana]
"Hmm..." [Princess Siti]
"Is something wrong?" [Dana]
"The gold here. It's just pretty, that's all. Yes, it still has its value as jewelry, but other than that, it's basically worthless." [Princess Siti]
"That's right. It's too inert to produce any reaction for alchemy and such. Even though it's more beautiful than other gold, it can't be mended. At least with today's technology and knowledge." [Teliara]
"So it is basically just a candy for the eyes?" [Dana]
"Probably. Besides, I'm sure if more knights and adventurers are able to bring it to the surface, the market will plummet... I can already feel the headache" [Princess Siti].
"Just make a note first. I'm sure your family can handle it" [Tiara].
"Still, judging from what was mentioned, doesn't that mean it can be used as a shield or armor?" [JOATMON]
"Maybe. Looking roughly at Knight Tuah's armor, it is almost similar in structure and has that value" [Princess Siti].
I bet Tio will love this place. I'm sure her eyes will shine even brighter than the gold that makes up this floor. She will immediately make a plan on how to use this place. Well, in order for that to happen, she needs to be able to access this place first, and in order for her to access this place, we need to clear this dungeon first.
Just like the floor itself, the monsters in this place are made of gold. Golden armor walking around, almost similar in appearance to Knight Tuah, only bigger and somehow more menacing. Shield of gold of varying intensity, capable of reflecting both magic and physical attacks. A boulder of literal gold that chases after us as soon as we trigger the trap. This is a unique floor for this dungeon, making me tempted to explore it for anything useful, especially to save Aunt Amleth and Sister Khamisah's best friend Ophelia Vars.
I mentioned my intentions to Master Merlin and she seems to have the same idea. Teliara and JOATMON feel the same way. While the others do not know what we are talking about, they agree to fully explore this place first and help us find what we need. We are vague, since the thing we are doing involves secrecy, but none of them ask us further. If anything, they know better than to ask.
In order to explore this floor better, I ask the earth fairy Gaia to increase my blessings, especially the blessing of metal. I try to scan this floor first. With Gaia's blessing, I imagine the floor and myself connected. Feel that you're one with the earth, and that one day you will return to the earth. Feel the trembling. Feel the metallic sensation as part of your own body. Visualize it. Visualize it.
"This is herd. It's just too inert...?" [Diana]
"You can't visualize it?" [Dana]
"The opposite. It's too clear that I'm getting too much information. Everything enters my brain at once. Even Tuah's armor shines so brightly that my head hurts" [Diana].
"I'm sorry, dear descendant of Aru" [Tuah].
"It's okay. It's not your fault" [Diana]
Maybe I should use dark magic to make it less shiny? Maybe. I try it and it has some effect. I imagine it like a partition before it enters me and it helps, though not much. For that, I reduce the use of my blessing so that less information enters my brain and
"Hmm..." [Diana]
"Did you find something?" [Merlin]
"Instead of finding it, it feels like there's something that even my blessing can't detect, and yet it can detect the surroundings" [Diana].
"I guessed it would be worth checking out" [JOATMON].
"Lead the way" [Teliara].
"Right" [Diana]
Since my head still hurt and my eyes felt like flashes of light bombarding me at once, I rode Fie for help. Seeing this, Dana helps by massaging and patting my head to make me feel better. She is helping me to feel better, if only a little. What's more important is that it feels good despite the heavy headache and nausea that make me...
"MEOW!" [Fie]
"Sorry Fie..." [Diana]
"Poor you both. Fie, let me clean you up" [Dana]
"Why don't you deactivate it for a moment?" [Tiara]
"It's okay. For Sister Khamisah and Auntie Amleth..." [Diana]
"Then take this medicine. I hope it helps" [Teliara]
"Thank you" [Diana]
Dana uses her water magic to clean the vomit from Fie's fur. I feel bad, but thank goodness Fie is a good cat. While Dana cleans Fie, I ride over the mimic, which makes Fie jealous. I don't want to move, so sorry Fie... It just hurt... Luckily the medicine Teliara has prepared helps to ease the pain and the nausea.
As we approach, just as I felt, the intensity of the monsters decreases. It's a dead end, but we managed to open a secret room through a hidden mechanism. I want to help, but my head hurts and the clicking and clanking sound makes me even more nauseous. The moment I see the item we were looking for, I immediately deactivate my magic and breathe a sigh of relief... Thank God, it's finally over.
"I don't want to do this again..." [Diana].
"We should rest here for now" [Dana]
"Agreed. We should rest until Diana feels better" [Princess Siti].
"Sorry and thank you..." [Diana]
"Just rest and leave everything to your great master" [Merlin]
Dana prepares a nice place for me to lie down and rest. While I am lying on her lap, she is constantly helping to massage my head and lightly massaging my eyes. It feels super duper nice. Fie also helps by changing his element to one of water and starts emitting some basic healing magic at me
"This mirror is really a great mirror for deflecting curses and magic" [JOATMON].
"Siti, can I have this?" [Merlin]
"As I said, I should allow it, since your help itself is invaluable" [Princess Siti].
"The thing is, how do we keep it?" [Teliara]
"Let me guess, it will also deflect attempts to store it inside the item box magic?" [Tiara]
"Seems like it" [Teliara]
"I'm nowhere near Walpurgis when it comes to space magic, but let me do it" [Merlin].
Master Merlin takes out her equipment. She draws a magic circle around the large mirror made of gold. Somehow this mirror, even though it is made of gold, still has some properties that make it reflect our reflection. It's even clearer than a good mirror itself. What a strange object!
The circle that Master Merlin drew grew larger and larger. They discussed among themselves how to improve this circle. Dana seems to understand what they're talking about. For me, since my head still hurt, I didn't understand what they were talking about, and when the time came to put the mirror into Master Merlin's item box, a brilliant light engulfed the whole room.
"I'm sorry Dana... I'm done for..." [Diana]
"I'm truly sorry, my dear..." [Merlin]
"It's okay. Just sleep" [Dana]
"Dana, wash yourself. Let me take care of Diana" [Princess Siti]
"Thank you" [Dana]
It really hurt, so I cast a sleeping spell on myself, hoping to fall asleep. Instead of falling asleep because of the spell, I fall asleep because I am just too tired.
