Chapter 83: Sophia's Return

Chapter 83: Sophia's Return (Part 5)
"This day has finally arrived...

Renien, Andorf, are you still alive?
And that legendary treasure hasn't appeared either. Could it be that Sophia got it? "

On December 12, Roy woke up from his shallow meditation and stood up to look around.

Today is the seventh day.

The temporary camp was exceptionally quiet, probably because the day of return was approaching and most teams were wasting their time.

They regard it as the end of the feast and work hard to explore in order to get more adventure benefits.

Little did they know that Melina and the others had already been keeping their eyes on the entrance, ready to take action at any moment.

"Around 9 o'clock in the evening, the void rift will definitely close completely.

This is the time point calculated by mystical astronomy, astrology and witchcraft.

The next time it opens will be 23 years from now, when the Dark Star appears in the sky again."

Given the current situation in the Cretaceous Country, no apprentice can survive in the wilderness for 23 years, so they must come out.

Once they come out, Melina and others will take ruthless action and massacre those apprentices!
Roy pondered in his mind, considering his next move.

"Don't rush things. You must wait for the right opportunity..."

He has no interest in snatching treasures.

He has another more important thing to do, which is to clear himself of suspicion.

"It seems this thing is too coveted. Before I can make full use of it, I have to temporarily forget the fact that I have a humanoid angel and not let anyone know about it!"

Melina and the others acted carefully, and after they came up with that vicious plan, he no longer had the time or opportunity to act alone.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Oren, Baru, and Melina did not participate in the final exploration. They seemed to be satisfied and gave up further treasure hunting.

They began to gather the senior apprentices they knew.

There are still many people in the Wu Tower who know him.

Gradually, a piece of news spread among the crowd.

"Senior Oren suggested holding a trading event near the camp to exchange what we need on the spot!"

The reasons for doing so are readily available.

For on-site transactions, there is no time to prepare various counterfeit and shoddy products, so the credibility is relatively high.

The freshly baked treasures can also be used as a reference for reference, so that there is a basis for measurement.

It would be welcome to see some more opportunities to pick up bargains.

Some people vaguely guessed that the purpose of doing this was to find the legendary treasure that had not yet appeared.

They actually had the same idea, so they agreed tacitly.

Because they were worried about encountering any unexpected events at the last minute and being delayed, most teams chose to go early and return early.

Therefore, dozens of people gathered in the afternoon alone.

Roy frowned secretly as he watched the number of people growing.

"Why haven't those two guys, Renien and Andorf, shown up yet?"

Just then, an unexpected figure came into view.

"Sofia?"

He was surprised to find that Sophia had returned.

"Wait, where's Celine?
Celine is missing!"

……

"Sophia is back.

She’s the only one!”

On the other side, Oulen and Baru also learned the news immediately.

They walked out from their hiding place, stood on a low mound, and looked coldly at Sophia, who had been missing for a long time and had only returned now.

"He disappeared for so long without any reason. Even if he didn't hide the treasure, he must have kept some secrets to himself!"

Melina watched from afar, also smiling coldly. "Let's go and take a look."

Soon after, they came to Sofia separately.

Roy also remained calm and appeared quietly.

"Sophia, where did you go before?" Oren was the first to attack.

"This has nothing to do with you," Sophia said.

They looked at each other in tacit understanding, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.

Roy was also thinking to himself: "Why does her tone of voice sound a little strange? Is she injured?"

With such suspicion, Roy quietly observed the other party and felt that it was more and more possible.

Sophia's aura is still strong, but she inexplicably gives people a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"What is she feeling guilty about?
Could it be that the treasure really fell into her hands?"

While Roy was guessing, Melina and the others gradually revealed their true intentions: "How could this matter have nothing to do with us?

Don't forget, we have a covenant!"

"That's right, from the moment you failed to fulfill your obligations, you have already broken the contract!"

Sophia frowned and said, "So what?"

Her rhetorical question made the people who were testing her look a little serious.

"We suspect that the treasure has fallen into your hands!" Melina lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Tell us honestly, is that the case?"

"How is that possible? I didn't see any treasure, but was hunted by a powerful monster. Even Celine lost her life!"

Sophia told the story that had happened, and that was the reason why she had not returned for many days and had not come to gather with everyone to trade.

Everyone was a little hesitant, not knowing whether they should accept this statement.

The main thing is that Sophia is not a simple person.

Before the incident in the Cretaceous Kingdom, her talent and strength had already placed her at the top level among the apprentices in the tower.

After the incident in the Cretaceous Kingdom, all the previous apprentices died, and he was worthy of being called the chief apprentice.

No matter how proud Oren and the others were, they didn't dare to say that they could deal with her easily.

Even if we put aside the legendary treasures, if a real fight breaks out, it will be impossible to win without one or two people dying and the rest being seriously injured.

If dealing with her means there must be a price to pay, then who will be that price?

Oren looked at Roy calmly, and even felt a little worried.

Roy came in with Sophia. If it really comes to that critical moment, it’s not certain who to help!

Although Roy is only a new elite apprentice, he is able to stand out among many senior apprentices. He must have some outstanding qualities and should not be underestimated.

Roy didn't pay attention to Oren's observation because he felt a little sorry for Celine's death.

"Senior, is Celine dead?"

"Not bad." Sophia looked at him with a hint of surprise. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Roy sighed and shook his head slightly, "I just feel sorry for her.

She walked all the way, treading on thin ice, and ultimately failed to reach the other side."

"Roy, stop interrupting!" Melina said irritably. "Sophia, you can't hide it from me. My dog has smelled you. You've been there!"

Hearing this, Roy looked at her in surprise.

Baru's expression instantly became playful.

Oulen's face was also gloomy: "Why didn't you say it at the time?"

"Hmph!" Melina knew she had spoken out of turn, but at this critical moment of forcing the emperor to abdicate, she was too lazy to explain.

Sophia's expression changed and she wanted to say something.

But at this moment, the crowd became agitated.
