Chapter: 538

The skeletons were still smashing it and turning its body to chunks, but Jay ordered them to loot it first, bringing him the rewards.

[Greater Soul stone] (Empty) x 1

[Helvetian Ring] x 8

“Finally, another greater soul stone.” Jay smiled, “I knew there would be one in this pyramid… Oh, eight rings? Nice.” Jay nodded.

Anya ran back to Jay after she saw the statue fall.

“Here’s your cut.” Jay gave her four of the rings.

“Thanks.” she nodded, looking over the statue.

Jay looked a little more closely at the statues’ gauntlets as they seemed to be exotic compared to the other statues, but after touching and holding them closer it was clear they were just stone. Purely ornamental.

He sent his feeble creature to grab his luminous orb so he could see a little more clearly as he looked around the rest of its body, though there was nothing to grab, and nothing of use.

“Well, I’ll see what the others have…” he looked around the room for the truth guards.

Jay got two more helvetian rings from them and checked over their bodies, recalling their ability to cast magical spells.

There was a strange coating on them. It was extremely thin and see-through but it felt smooth to the touch, similar to a varnished table.

Jay tried to scratch some off, but it was of no use; bringing a dagger out of his inventory he finally managed to scrape a piece away – but it suddenly evaporated into nothingness.

“Dammit…” he pursed his lips, “I guess this belongs to the truth guards even in death.” he tossed the piece of stone he had scraped it off back to the ground.

“Alright, let’s see how close I am to finishing this quest.”

At first the quest rewards seemed really generous, but now it seemed like an appropriate reward for the hard work he put in.
