Chapter 213: 213. Same old way of giving treasures
After leaving the cave, Orion and Alice chose a direction and began their journey.
They didn't know the location of the boss room—no one did—so they had to search for it themselves. Along the way, they killed many wolves and absorbed their cores, increasing their strength.
Orion also didn't forget to absorb the large number of Stormleaves he had in his storage bracelet.
They moved around for hours before stumbling upon some familiar figures—familiar to Orion at least. They were a little distance away, but Orion recognized them immediately.
It was his Big Sister Emily, Elyn, and a few others following behind them.
Surprised, Orion shouted and waved his hands, "Big Sis Emily!"
Emily's group noticed Orion and Alice and started heading towards them.
A few moments later, both groups met up.
"Big Sister, where are you going with so many people?" Orion asked as soon as they were close enough.
"We found the boss room," Emily replied.
"The boss room?" Orion nodded and asked, "So have you notified the others?"
Emily said, "I've already sent a group to inform anyone who wants to enter the boss room."
"Let's go to the boss room then," Orion said.
"That's where we were heading until we found you and this lady," Emily said, looking at Orion and Alice. "So, who is she?" she asked.
Orion quickly introduced Alice to his sister. "She's a friend I made during my five-year trip away from home."
Emily nodded in understanding and said, "Let's go to the boss room then."
Orion looked at Alice, who nodded in agreement.
"Let's go then," Orion said to his sister.
His words sounded genuine, and many people were attracted by his shout. They knew he was from one of the seven magi families, who were rich enough to have many treasures. So, randomly giving away the treasures dropped by monsters in the dungeon, which were useless to him, didn't sound like a lie.
The majority of the people who came to this dungeon were silver and gold rank experts, with few treasures. They weren't powerful enough to kill strong monsters that dropped high-quality treasures. Orion donating his treasures really attracted the crowd's attention.
"Will you really give us?"
"Just give me a sword."
"I want a spear."
The crowd began to heat up, looking at Orion with fervent eyes. They couldn't wait to get their hands on some good treasures. They had paid money to enter this dungeon, and knowing that they wouldn't be leaving empty-handed made them feel a little better about their expenditure.
Orion smiled, seeing their excitement. He thought that giving away treasures was a good way to copy curses from people in a large crowd. Last time, he didn't copy the curses of the people near the lightning tree because he planned to do so when everyone left the dungeon.
His original plan was to move among the crowd, touching everyone while copying their curses when they gathered together in pack at the time of leaving the dungeon. That was the safest approach, but it seemed he would have to change his plan a little bit now.
Orion stepped forward, pulling out various treasures from his storage bracelet and laying them on the ground. The crowd's eyes widened at the sight of gleaming swords, intricate spears, and other valuable items.
"Come forward, everyone," he said with a smile. "Take what you need."
People surged forward eagerly. As they reached for the treasures, Orion subtly activated his curse-copying ability, touching each person briefly while giving them the treasures they chose.
Emily watched the scene unfold with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. "Are you sure about this, Orion?"
"Absolutely, Sis. It's just a way to help them out. Besides, we have more than enough," Orion replied, maintaining his smile.
Alice stood silently beside him, observing the crowd with a distant look in her eyes. She seemed lost in thought, still recovering from their earlier encounter.
Once the crowd had dispersed, grateful and clutching their new treasures, Orion turned to Emily. "Alright, let's head to the boss room."
