Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

Chapter 132 Scavenger Hunt!

Most of the participants had expected this to happen. Was this something that had happened often? Livie, Ruby, Gold, and I were astonished.

The castle in front of us was decently sized. Rebecca herself said it was giant. In what way was it giant? I couldn't see what was inside yet.

"The castle inside is ten times larger than it appears!" Rebecca answered that question for me, explaining the size of the building.

"Inside the castle, artifacts will be waiting to be found!" I wonder how they would be located. Would they be there in the open? Or somewhere hiding? Maybe both?

"Weak artifacts could be taken just by a snatch, while strong artifacts would need to test your skills to get it!" That's good to know.

"I can't wait to see what our contestants will get!" I also can't wait to see what I get.

"Participants! Please make your way to the castle in an orderly fashion!" The gate to the castle had opened. Everyone here walked toward the gate and went in.

Arriving, everyone had teleported to a different location. That was great. It wouldn't be fun if everyone got overcrowded from the starting point.

I was teleported to the armory room, and many metal swords were around me. I couldn't sense any artifacts.

When I tried to move, my body wouldn't allow me to. "Before we start the event, let's welcome our sponsor!"

I didn't think they would have something like this in another world. I groaned inside hearing this. "I want to thank Barney's Antic for providing most of the artifacts scattered around the castle!"

"If you want to check for any artifacts, Barney's Antic is the place for you!" Rebecca had spoken like an authentic businesswoman. And what kind of name is that for a store name?

"Also, mana is prohibited in this castle! Anyone with mana is unable to use it!" How am I supposed to find an artifact in this room if I can't tell what it is?

"In your pocket, there is an artifact tracker! Getting close to an artifact will make a beeping noise!" When did they put this? It was freaky seeing how it was done.

"With everything said and done, we will begin in ten seconds!" It was finally for the event. I was bundled with joy, wondering what I would get.

Now that I think of it, aren't I just a loot goblin? I have been obtaining artifacts left and right, and I will continue to do so. I guess that's just how everyone is.

"Go!" Hearing Rebecca starting the event, I began to move. I was overthinking, and Rebecca's saying go startled me.

Everything in the armory became more apparent. My tracker had already made a beeping noise, and I had walked around searching for where the noise had become louder.

I thanked my luck that I spawned in the armory. I will indeed find a lot of artifacts in a place like this. And not only that, it is armor and weapon-based artifacts.

Now the question is, could I find a replacement for my sword? My current sword is good and all, but I reached the third rank ever since. I felt my weapon was lacking.

Finding that my scanner was beeping close to a pile of weapons, I had to scan them one by one. After finding the right one, I put the artifact in my storage bag. I wouldn't want to be taken from me.

It was a shame what I got was a low-tier artifact. There was no test when I took them, and by the looks of it, the same would be applied to others.

There were too many low-tier artifacts here. I'm not complaining, but I want a suitable replacement for my weapon.

After a while of searching, I found ten artifacts within the room. There were five swords, two bows, two spears, and a set of armor.

I was surprised that no one had come into my room by now. I wondered how the others were doing.

While I do not doubt I had the most artifacts, it still wasn't the strongest. Just as I was about to leave the armory, I looked back to see if I had missed anything.

Did that door appear out of nowhere? I rubbed my eyes, checking if I wasn't hallucinating. I swear that door wasn't there before.

Now that a new path was open, it would make sense for me to go there, right? What is the worst that could happen? That I get trapped and miss the entire event? Or maybe there is something good in there.

Taking the risk, I went in the door. What was in front of me was a long hallway. It had taken me a while to reach the end of the hall.

What awaited me was a sword stuck to the ground. Was this some test or some sort? Was it to determine whether I was worthy or not?

The sword was made from a ruby-looking ore, with the hilt black. Grabbing the sword, it had a comfortable sensation making it easy to hold.

I had thought an artifact like this would be a challenge, was there no test for this sword? I hope it was better than my current one.

Going back to the armory, the door behind me had disappeared. Freaky, that was the first thing I thought when looking back.

A door from the other side had opened, and it was a student from our school. I didn't know who she was, but I kept my guard against her.

... We both stared at each other in silence. It was getting awkward. Before I said something, the other student said, "Is the artifact in the room fully cleared?"

Should I lie to her and waste her time, or should I be truthful? But if I tell the truth, the chances of her attacking me would be high.

Choices, choices, which one should I pick? Man, I'm not good at these kinds of things.
