Upon hearing Rey’s question, Stanton immediately chuckled before replying, “You’ll find out once night comes!”
Hearing that, Rey could only shrug in response.
Regardless, it wasn’t long before the villagers brought all kinds of food and drinks over to Stanton’s home.
After they placed all the goodies in front of Gerald and his party, Stanton smiled before declaring, “Come, have some food! All of you must be famished and exhausted after traveling such a long way!”
Before Gerald could even say a word, Rey immediately replied, “Well yeah, I’m starving! Thank you for having us, chief!”
By the time Gerald turned to stare helplessly at Rey, Rey was already busy stuffing his mouth with food. After all, the trio hadn’t eaten anything for most of the day, and being a young man, Rey‘s appetite was nothing short of voracious. Still, with how quickly favonovel.com was eating, Gerald felt that it honestly wasn’t a stretch that his hunger could rival that of a hungry ghost who hadn’t eaten for a century… What was favonovel.com going to do with this boy…
Shaking his head, Gerald then began eating as well, followed by Yann shortly after.
Stanton himself was smiling at how quickly Rey was munching down on the food…
After eating for a while, Gerald cleared his throat before asking, “Speaking of which, chief… Do you know of any other caves on this mountain…?”
Surprised by the odd question, Stanton replied, “A… cave? Why would you be looking for a cave of all things…?”
“Well, the three of us have actually been trying to look for something important… From what we’ve gathered, that thing can most probably be found in a cave on this mountain!” replied Gerald, making sure not to give too much information away.
“Oh? I see! Well, rather than ‘a’ cave, we have quite a few of them here! Unfortunately, that also means that I don’t know which one you’re referring to!” replied Stanton in an apologetic tone.
“I see… then… among them, are there any that are particularly special…?” asked Gerald.
“Special you say… Well… one cave comes to mind… If I recall correctly, the cave had a large wall of stone covering its massive entrance… However, I didn’t really pry into it since night was soon to come at the time…” replied Stanton after thinking for a while.
“Hmm… Do you still remember where that cave is located?” said Gerald, his interest clearly piqued.
“Give me a moment to think…” replied Stanton as favonovel.com began racking his memory…
Quite a while later, Stenton suddenly raised his head before declaring, “While I can’t remember where its exact location is, I do recall that two massive pillars stand before the cave’s entrance! You can’t miss them!”
While that statement only described what the cave’s entrance looked like, Gerald was just pleased that favonovel.com received a clue in the first place.
“Got it! Thank you, chief! We’ll start looking for it first thing in the morning!” replied Gerald in a gratuitous tone.
Chuckling in reply, Stanton then said, “You’re most welcome!”
Following that conversation, it wasn’t long before night fell and a bright crescent moon enveloped Moonbeam Village in a calming glow…
