The Early Online Dream

Episode 22 of Arc Dark Eye: Fire Stone Part II

Lara suspects everything that happened to her now must be because of the mask she wears. There was nothing else he could not identify but his mask. Thinking of that, Lara was more and more convinced that the mask she was wearing must not be as simple as the Convict's mask as Igaram had said before.

‘’There must be something on this mask’’ thought Lara while holding her mask

Lara walked forward past a light that dazzled her eyes and then she discovered it was actually a dead end with Lava boiling underneath that formed like a lake. Lara checked the temperature at one meter in front of her where it was the maximum limit that could be achieved by the temperature measuring feature on the menu.

Lara clearly saw the number on the screen showing the number 4500 degrees Celsius.

Seeing that, Lara thought and then looked back for a moment. He discovered that to his surprise, he examined the floor and walls of the cave, which were twice as hot as they should be, and that made no sense in science.

‘’I understand this is likely not ordinary hard soil’’ Thought Lara while picking up fragments of cave walls and then identifying them

Items

Fire Stone (Fire Stone)

Scarcer

0.2 Kg

v It is a rock that can absorb heat from heat for thousands of years. Firestones can ward off and weaken the heat around them to a certain stage.

Lara thought what if the stone was mixed with iron seeds and made as a shield or armor would definitely be very useful when fighting the users of fire element or could also be used as a material to make equipment for forgers.

Lara looked at the tip of her clothes that seemed to be starting to burn now and found that Lara immediately took off her clothes then put them into her Inventory and made her only wear small pants to cover the bottom of her stomach to the knees.

Lara doesn't understand what's going on. But, then he could guess a little that the Mask did protect him from the heat to the maximum but the mask did not really protect his belongings but only reduced the impact received.

Because there were many pieces of debris around, Lara immediately picked them all up. The closer to the mouth of the cave to the Lava lake the larger the debris he got.

Lara quickly cleaned up all the debris she had. Lara tried to use her light arrow to destroy the wall but there was no result therefore lara decided to return to the platos village, buy mining tools and learn mining skills and then come back to collect more fire stones.

After two days of walking in the cave Lara finally came out of and then directly down the mountain. on the other hand in the church now seen a woman asking the sisters about the whereabouts of lara she was wearing a loose shirt with long silver hair.

Her appearance was very beautiful and attracted the attention of many players close to her. He is Michel, he has walked from Philotas where he first appeared in the game heading to the platos to meet and play with his son.

When Lara returns, Michel goes to her and quickly recognizes her mother. Michel looked delighted to see the relaxed lara walking towards him.

‘’You're finally back, I've been waiting here for two days’’ said Michel ketus

‘’Why mother didn't tell me if mom would come here’’ says lara with no sin

‘’Surprise... You know surprise’’ said Michel who makes people who see it now become very gloomy as if they have received news of the death of their loved ones.

‘’Surprise?… haha.. I was surprised’’ lara let out a surprised expression

‘’Stupid... this virgin girl curses you shit your whole life’’ Michel said in a loud voice and acted like a woman in her 20s

‘’Haha... sorry my life has been unlucky since the beginning of the curse it will not be useful’’ Lara laughed out loud

‘’No you will be more unlucky from now on’’ Michel said

‘’Haha... adding a drop of water to the ocean is useless..let's go in, mom must be tired’’ Lara laughed and then invited her mother to enter her room.

‘’Nah... so, you can finally act correctly’’ Michel stained his son

When they saw Lara, Ijah and Mila immediately looked as if they were grateful that they had escaped safely home.they knew they had gone to a cave on the mountain and had been waiting for almost a week with worry.

‘’In a moment there is something I want to talk to you’’ says lara on Ijah and Mila

Michel saw the two young sisters who together made her smile and continued to follow lara from behind. Lara took out all the flint onto the floor, Ijah and Mila had no idea what it was. Only then after lara explained what it was, they were surprised because it included rare and valuable minerals.

Lara ordered Ijah and Mila to sell it to the besiegers and the proceeds to be given to the lara 30% and the rest was used to continue the renovation of the temple.

Ijah and Mila immediately agreed to their lara's request to go directly to the besieger and sell the minerals while in the room there was only lara and her mother. Michel saw lara sitting in her study chair opening her book looking to write something

‘’What did you write?’’ michel asked curiously and approached lara to look

‘’Only my thoughts are related to the cave that I previously visited’’ Lara explained

‘’Gua?’’ Michel seemed interested and was closer towards Lara.

Lara explains what she has been doing for the past few days in great detail and increasingly makes Michel interested in getting into the cave that was intended lara but he does not have a mask like lara's so it's likely he won't be able to get to the point where the last lara is.

Mila and Ijah return after a night they seem not to be alone they are together people who are sulfur miners of the village of Platos.

‘’Mail..’’ miners welcome lara in main raung

‘’Haha... It's a good thing to pray after work’’ lara said casually

‘’Our map is here not to pray there is something we asked pastor’’ said one of the miners who appeared to be role models or leaders in the group of sulfur miners who came

‘’Please.please’’ lara has guessed what they want but she only answers with formality only.

‘’According to what the sisters said, the priest had previously entered a cave in the mountain and found flint on the way. Is that true?’’  said the leader of the miners firmly

‘’True...’’ lara clarified quickly and already knows where the person talking to is going right now.

‘’This village is a poor village and the flint can fix that. However, the villagers were weak. We have tried several times and always failed. I hope the priest can help us to get rid of the monsters and allow the developer to mine the fire stones’’ the miner said

‘’Why should I help you?’’ lara said with disgust

‘’As a pastor you have to help people. So, please help us pastor’’ people in front of lara speak softly and respectfully but actually it is a coercion to lara.

‘’I have to help people like you?. Don't joke, you don't even know how to honor the temple and now ask the priest for help. try to ask permission first to the owner if he opened his mouth just a little tell me’’ lara turned to look towards the statue of the goddess luna with a loud tone

Hearing that Ijah and Mila were very surprised they glanced at the age-eaten statue then lowered their heads very deeply. I don't know what they're thinking but obviously they know Lara is very angry and refuses out loud to help.

 The miners seemed to not accept with a refusal and a moment later a shout sounded from behind the crowd of miners

‘’Basic demon-hearted priest, just go from this village we don't need people like you’’ one of the entourage who is behind yelling

‘’Haha... nice go from this devil-hearted priestess Dewi Luna don't need trash like y'all’’ lara laughed and said with disdain afterwards

The sound of lara blaring throughout the room made the room quiet, some of the temple visitors who were still there were surprised and silent to see the anger of the mysterious priest in their village.

The miners who were no longer able to say anything more heard Lara speak, they could only stare at lara with hatred and then come out without any words coming out of their mouths.

Lara turns to her room Ijah and Mila follow Lara and as they walk behind follows lara speaking who changes their gaze at her.
