Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master

Chapter 38 An Ordinary Stone In The Treasury?



Soon, the evening party ended and the guests started heading out one by one.

Kris and Ronaldo sent the guests off as the host of tonight's gathering.

After everyone was gone, Kris and Ronaldo went back to Alex who stayed seated from beginning to end.

"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting, boy." Ronaldo said.

Alex looked at him and said, "It's okay, sir."

Ronaldo nodded.

"Since it's already quite late, let's proceed and finish this so that you can go home soon."

Saying that, Ronaldo told Alex to follow him while Kris and the other students were left.

Alex followed obediently behind Ronaldo.

Soon, they arrived at the innermost part of the hotel where a lone elevator was in.

Without having to wait, the elevator door opened and Ronaldo and Alex stepped in.

Unable to hide his curiosity anymore, Alex decided to open his mouth and asked the question that he had in mind.

"Mr. Ronaldo, where are we really going?"

Without looking at him, Ronaldo answered,

"We will be heading toward our family treasury. A lot of things are in there, I'll let you choose one item of your choice."

Hearing that, Alex's eyes lit up a bit.

By the way, Alex learned from Kris earlier that Cherry Hotel is owned by their family and that is why their treasury is in here.

After the elevator door closed, Ronaldo pressed the B3 button and the elevator started going down.

La la la~ la la la~

A soft elevator music started playing as the elevator moved.

Ding!

Not long after, the elevator stopped and the door opened.

Rolando stepped out of the elevator and continued walking forward.

Seeing that, Alex quietly followed.

Soon, they arrived at the end of the hallway where a vault made out of unknown black metal was placed.

On the side, there's an interface that should be the control of the vault.

Ronaldo approached it.

He did a fingerprint scan and retinal scan, only then did a green light shone from the vault and it slowly opened.

Pssh!

Alex just watched all that without saying a word.

After a while, Ronaldo turned to Alex and said, "We're here, come inside and look for anything that you like."

Hearing that, Alex got excited and immediately followed Ronaldo inside the vault.

When he stepped inside, Alex realized just how big of a treasury this place is!

A lot of shelves were placed all over the treasury and in each one of them there is an item.

Some of the shelves are even covered by glass which shows its importance compared to the others.

Seeing so many precious items, Alex kept his cool and didn't lose his composure.

While walking, he commented, "Your treasury is really full of different items, huh."

Hearing that, a proud smile crept up Rolando's face and he said, "Yes, this is the fruit of everyone's hard work and perseverance in our family to explore the Alter Dimension!"

Then, Rolando pointed towards the items covered with glass and said, "You see those things over there?"

Alex nodded and listened carefully.

Rolando continued, "Those things are the most precious items collected by our family. Some of those were even personally discovered by the previous head of our family, which is my Dad."

As the previous head of the family, Rolando's Dad was the head of the family when the Alter Dimension was first discovered.

Meaning, he can be called as one of the pioneers on exploring the Alter Dimension.

Knowing that, Alex nodded and looked forward to seeing those items discovered by the previous head.

After walking for a while, Rolando stopped and looked at Alex.

He said, "Now, go look around and choose any item that you like. Except those items in glass covers, I'll let you take any one item you like."

Alex nodded, "Okay, I'll take a look at the items first."

Alex leisurely started wandering around the treasury.

Not long after, Alex stopped in front of an item.

It was a stone about the size of a fist.

It looks like any ordinary stone that you'll find just about anywhere when you go outside.

Such a thing being placed here in the treasury, it looks weird and out of place.

Finding Alex staring at the stone with curious eyes, Rolando said, "It seems like you're confused why such a thing is inside our treasury."

Alex nodded silently.

Seeing that, Rolando smiled and explained, "This stone was actually found inside a giant cave in the Alter Dimension."

"Near that cave, there was a village called Tsirga Village. The people there told us that the cave was actually a nest of a dragon called Tsirga."

"Their village was named after it because that dragon was someone that they worship as a benevolent dragon god."

"However, that dragon just suddenly disappeared one day. No one knows where it went."

When he got to this point, Rolando's tone became solemn, he said, "To learn more about it, my father and a few other people decided to explore the dragon nest."

"Once they entered the dragon nest, they found a lot of treasures!"

"Golds, jewels, magic items, skill books, etc."

"Then at the very center of the nest, this stone was placed."

"No one knows what it is and we even tried to appraise it many times but still, there were no results."

"In the end, Dad took it and placed it here in the treasury, saying that it can be considered as a souvenir for going into a dragon nest."

When he said that, Rolando let out a helpless sigh.

Seeing that, Alex looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"It seems like you didn't like that decision of your father, Mr. Rolando."

Hearing Alex's words, Rolando let out another sigh and said,

"How can I be happy with it? Because of that decision, when it was time to divide the treasures, we only got a few shares of the golds and other things."

With an irritated look, Rolando said, "Those people that accompanied my Dad said that since this stone can't even be appraised, it should be a precious item."

"Because of that, even though Dad was supposed to get 50 percent of the treasures, this unknown stone accounted for a high percentage."

After hearing all that, Alex didn't say anything and continued looking at the stone.

Then, after a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said, "I have decided, I'll take this stone."
