Chapter 70 Suspicious Circumstances

Anyway, since he was in his shared room with Celine, he was in a private enough place.

But just in case, he decided to use one of the Spy eyes to keep watch around the room and make sure that no one came here by accident.

These were the same [Ageruus creeper's] eyes of which he had many in his possession. But calling them Spy eyes is easier on the tongue, so he decided to call them that from now on.

He he like those eyes very much, despite being a low level, magic item, they were extremely useful and practical. Just one of them was enough to cover a 200 meter radius!

Their utility to stick on walls and objects and become no different than a green stain was perfect to camouflage them.

Unfortunately this meant that each eye had to be stuck very carefully as they couldn't be removed and used some place else later. This was a fair deal since they already so useful already.

The first treasure chest contained many potions stacked in drawers throughout the big chest.

There was a special looking box placed on top inside he found five intermediate health potions that could be used to heal fatal injuries and even reattach limbs if they haven't been cut off for more than 24 hours.

Unfortunately it was not capable of regenerating whole organs.

There were also two special potions called Alien intelligence and flight. According to his appraisal, using his [Third eye] he was able to figure out their effects.

The flight potion, as the name implied enabled flight. But not just that, it seems like he could fly as fast as a Roc for three hours. He wasn't sure what that meant but it was classified as a Very rare potion.

The Alien intelligence potion was another Very rare grade potion, it could triple the learning speed of whoever consumed it for three hours.

This made his heart beat faster, this potion could be used to learn anything without restrictions. He could hardly imagine what it would be like if he used it to learn spells with his already ridiculous talent.

The rest of the chest contained health, stamina and even mana potions, all low grade. A lot of them too. More than fifty of each type. This was just the first chest!

What kind of treasure did he get his hands on?! It was worth it to spend all that time to clear the dungeon already.

"Ugh"

He was about to check on the remaining two chests when he heard a weak groan behind him. Like lightning he turned around and saw Celine's eyes flutter open.

He held her hand gently and called out to her hoping for her to wake up completely.

"Hey, hey, Celine… it's me, wake up. Open your eyes… please."

Celine's eyes finally opened and then closed quickly, unaccustomed to the light. Seeing this it was like a boulder was moved off of his chest and he could finally breath again.

"Hey, sleepyhead, wake up already… you had me worried there for a second."

"W-what… happened?" Celine rose to sit upright on the bed but she almost fell back down if not for Esdras catching her.

"Whoa there, take it easy. No need to rush. How are you feeling?"

Esdras wanted to bombard her with endless questions but he held back. He knew that this was not the time, before any of that he had to make sure that everything was fine with Celine.

Next, Celine needed to use the restroom and took a bath. After she was done Esdras ordered the servants to bring food in the room.

"What, why all this?" Celine looked confused, "isn't it too much to eat in the room?"

At these questions, Esdras narrowed his eyes, "of course, it's for you. You need to rest a while and relax."

"Me? But… why me? We all worked hard and made it back safely. If anyone should take it easy, it's you! Your plan to save me was reckless, you shouldn't have come for me."

Esdras fell into deep thought. It seemed like Celine and him weren't on the same page. She was acting strange.

"I mean, of course it's you. I don't know what you did to save me back then. I didn't want to ask now but, your acting weird." Esdras frowned.

"Me? Save you? From what?" Celine looked like she wasn't acting but of course she couldn't have forgotten that incident right? That was unreasonable.

"… you don't remember?" Esdras asked blinking repeatedly, "the ambush, the right side of my body being decayed completely?"

Celine looked absolutely stunned, "you're joking right? Is this a prank?… you're taking it too far."

"What do you remember exactly?" Esdras suppressed his frustration and asked slowly. Losing his temper on her would be unforgivable.

"I… I just remember you coming to save me that night, then we joined up with David and went back to the fortress right? Was I too tired? I must've slept as soon as we came back…"

Celine recounted the events and this time even she could tell that something was wrong with Esdras's expression.

"You really don't remember?" Esdras asked one final time.

Celine looked like she was struggling to think hard but she sadly shook her head in the end. "No, I'm sorry. I…I can't remember what you talked about."

"It's fine, it's fine. The most important thing is that you're fine. Just come here, sit and start eating. For now just don't think about these things, be sure to tell me if you feel any discomfort anywhere okay? I'm sure you will remember later."

Esdras sat her down on the bed and started feeding her despite her protests. There was ham and cheese, also some beans and bread. It wasn't much but it was actually the best that was available here.

To be honest this matter weighted heavily on his heart, even more after hearing that she didn't remember. He felt a dark ominous pressure around him, this matter has become very suspicious.

But, at the very least Celine was fine.

"Idiot," a deep twisted voice mocked, "your woman has already been taken kekeke. And you can't do anything about it."
