"Right. Then, we have a deal."
After sealing the agreement, the man remained silent for a few moments after saying those words.
The distant sound of movement from the underground dome vibrating in the depths of the cavern was the only thing that could be heard.
He took a deep breath and then began to speak.
"When I found this place, I was only looking for shelter to continue my experiments."
"The country of Linha was the most isolated and poorest in the entire Verdant Sword Domain. No one would care about what happened here."
Kyrian kept his eyes on him without interrupting the story.
"But despite that, for some unknown reason, there were underground tunnels connecting every region of Linha."
"Ancient tunnels, covered with formations and matrices that even I couldn't fully decipher."
"Inside, there were spirit stones, crystal fragments, old remains of inscriptions, runes… and enough wealth to sustain my studies for several years."
He said, letting out a brief laugh.
