The place where Monique died is a sandstone bust.

A bust matching what he looked like when he was alive wept in agony.

[Torture Monique forever]

A bust in which Monik's soul is sealed and his soul is divinely punished by Tulu, the god of wisdom.

Unable to satisfy his greed, his soul was tormented forever.

"His greed will make him suffer forever. Grano said, looking at the bust.

"Because he did something that can never be forgiven," Ed said. ”

To satisfy his greed, Monique kills several members of the Truth Organization. It is a heavy sin that cannot be forgiven.

Cono approached and patted himself on the head.

"Come on, you've eaten fifteen treasures, but you've only lost three. ”

Indeed, Monique consumes 15 treasures that inhabit the oasis.

Despite this, Conou only saw three items near the bust.

"I hope they're good stuff!"

Conor picks up one of the items. It was a dagger embedded with a dark red gemstone.

[Monique's Greed]

A delicate dagger embedded with rubies.

Monique's endless work of greed, "Sand Devil", turns the color of the ruby into a deep red.

Conou picked up another dagger, which seemed to be part of it. It was a dagger with a deep sapphire embedded in it.

[Monique's thirst]

A thick dagger inlaid with sapphires.

Monique's insatiable thirst turned the color of the sand sapphire into a deep blue.

"Stealing and exploiting..."

Perform a steal, which allows him to search the inventory of dropped players and choose his favorite items!

The exploit caused the dropped player to drop at least two items!

It's a weapon that Parks will love.

"I should sell these. ”

If he auctions them off, someone will definitely buy them. However, he didn't know how much he should sell.

"Next up..."

Conor picked up the last remaining item. That's an old compass.

[melancholy mystery compass (souvenir)]

The passionate and stupid explorer Melanke misses the compass.

When he gets lost, this compass has a mystical ability to lead him to the right path.

[Souvenirs contain memories.] Would you like to see Merrank's memories?]

"Mr. Granno. Ed. ”

"Yes?"

"What's wrong?"

"This compass contains Merrank's memories. Let's take a look at them together. ”

Cono held out his hand, palm facing up. Granor and Ed touched the compass with their fingertips.

"Look at Melanke's memories. ”

Melancholy memoirs flash through the eyes of Conou, Grano, and Eder.

Melanke alone searches for an oasis of truth.

With the help of his mysterious compass, he was able to find the quicksand pit that led to the hidden oasis.

Passionate and stupid, Melanke throws himself into quicksand and eventually passes The Final Journey.

Merrank, who arrives at the hidden oasis, discovers the treasures within the oasis, as well as the Tower of Wisdom.

He is more interested in the Tower of Wisdom than in the Treasure.

However, he does not have the slate of Tulu, so he cannot enter the Tower of Wisdom.

Melanke gave up his preparations to enter the Tower of Wisdom and prepared to leave and inform the others of his discovery.

As evidence of his discovery, he took a few treasures and bottled some water from the oasis.

Of course, he did not forget to write the words "truth does not exist in a hidden oasis, only treasures". In his Explorer's Diary.

He left the hidden oasis in search of an exit.

But then...

The sand monster Monique (greedy candida) attacks Melanke (melancholy).

Melancholy has no information about Monique and no ability to contend with him. Therefore, he had no choice but to run.

Monique chases after Melanke.

Luckily, his mysterious compass shows him the way out. Thus, he was able to find an exit.

The exit is a boulder in the shape of a cube. If he touches a boulder, then he will be sent back to the Barreton Desert.

"I survived!"

Mellanke rushes towards the boulder, but before he can touch the boulder, Monique grabs him.

He clung to the melancholy with his sand hands.

Melanke struggled, but Monique's grip was too tight. In addition, the sand cone sticks out of the sand and pierces Merrank's body.

Eventually, Melanke was mortally wounded as a result of the attack.

However!

The bottle of holy water he had stored in his breast pocket burst and sprayed onto Monique.

Monique was in agony, and Melanke took advantage of the opportunity to escape.

Gathering all his strength, he stretched out his hand and barely touched the cube's boulder with his fingertips.

The ashes engulfed Melanke, and he disappeared into the sand.

In the process, Melanke places the compass on Monique's body. That's why Monique gave up the Merlanc Compass.

That is the end of inner memory.

"So that's it," Grano said. ”

Merranch was mortally wounded by Monique and died somewhere in the Barreton Desert.

A group of merchants stumbled upon his body, and that's how rumors spread that this oasis contained treasures.

"Rest in peace," Ed said, clasping his hands together and bowing in front of the compass.

Conou and Grano also bowed their heads and took some time out for silent prayer.

...

Con Ou looked up and said, "Let's collect the treasure now." ”

His party entered the water and began to collect various treasures, gold bars and coins.

"Please put them all here. Conou said, holding the gold bar in his hand.

"Understood. ”

Soon after, they began to pile up large quantities of treasure and gold.

"That's all," said Ed, placing a golden calf on the ground.

"Hey. ”

Conou's lips smiled. He recalled what his mother used to say, "You feel satisfied when you look at it." "Well, my darling!

"Hu?"

At that moment, Ed looked at Monique's bust and opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"The bursting of the bubble seems to be intensifying," Ed said. ”

"You're right. ”

Ed was right. Monique's half of her body became a little twisted as before.

"He's bound to suffer more and see the treasure right in front of him," Grano said. ”

"Thank you for collecting all the treasures for us, Monique. I'll be good to use. ”

Conou patted Monique's bust.

"That'...... How do we divide the treasure?" said Ed, looking at Conou and Grano.

Conou's share is 70 percent, while Granno's is 30 percent.

"Let's divide the gold coins and bars here. We will sell Monique's items and treasures and divide them up in a 7:3 ratio. How does that sound?" asked Conou.

Granno said, "Okay. Then I'll take care of this baby. I know a trustworthy businessman. ”

"I want to sell Monique's items at the auction house. Can you?" asked Conou.

"Yes. ”

Grano nodded.

"Ed. Add up all the gold coins and bars. ”

"Understood. ”

Ed immediately moved.

First, he moves all the gold bars to the side and collects all the gold coins in a belt bag.

"There are 5,412 gold in total. ”

"How much?"

"5,412 gold. ”

"Oh my God!"

Conou knelt down and clasped his hands. It's like he's a footballer and he's having a ceremony after a goal is scored.

"Then I'll take 1,804 gold. ”

"Okay. ”

Grano shares his shares

"After subtracting my three gold and fifty gold a day, the rest of the gold is ......"

Ed took his share.

"3555 gold!"

Cono smiled and took the rest of the gold coins and bars.

Then, as if mixed with sand and blood, rusty tears flowed from Monique's bust.

"He's crying. ”

Ed pointed at Monique.

"Fundamentally not taking something away is much more painful than giving it to you," Conou said. ”

"He reaped what he had sown," Granno said firmly.

As if showing off the treasures, Grano placed each treasure in the subspace in front of him.

Whenever Grano places a treasure in his subspace, Monique's bust sheds rusty tears.

Pat on the bat.

Grano puts the last piece of treasure into his subspace and uses dust and dirt to get rid of his own dust.

They have completed the collection of all the equipment, treasures, and gold coins, and further deepened Monique's punishment and suffering.

Now all that's left...

Model!

Their battle with the tone is waiting for them.

Because Conou's party bears witness to melancholy memories, they are able to easily find the exit to the hidden oasis.

Cube boulders.

If they come across this boulder, they will return to the Barryton Desert.

"Now we only have to fight Mordunne. Grano said, looking at the boulder.

After Kang Ou came to meet him at the Mage Tower, a lot happened.

They went to an uninhabited island, met fishermen, entered the pyramids, fought with mummies, and subsequently were almost flattened like a flat fillet, and even discovered hidden oases.

It's been a long journey.

But now their journey is coming to an end.

"Yes, it's true. ”

Cono nodded.

He didn't expect to go through such a long journey after listening to Jace's veteran adventurer.

Of course, they still have to come up with the tune. Now they must fully focus on the task.

Conou opened a message window.

- Mr. Sibiro

-Yes?

- told me about Moderna's movements.

- He pitched a tent on a sand dune not far from the quicksand and was waiting to be on standby.

- What about mercenaries?

- They are still on standby in their tents.

- Here we are.

-And then?

- Yes, we will come out in 30 minutes, and then we will fight with the tune.

-I see

Cono closed the information window and stared at Granno.

"Please tell you that we will be out in 30 minutes. Please tell them to arrive on time. ”

"Good. ”

Grano drew a magic circle in black powder. It is a magic circle that allows him to communicate over long distances.

He speaks to people in the center of the magic circle.

"Yes, we will be out in 30 minutes, so please arrive on time. Yes. They will do the same. Yes. I'll see you later. ”

Grano ended his chat and wiped the magic circle with his foot.

"You're done, I understand. Con said.

"Yes. ”

Then left after 30 minutes as planned. ”

After Con O, who touches a cube-shaped boulder, the gray sand on the floor engulfs Con and drags him in.

It's similar to how he felt when he was sucked into a hidden oasis through quicksand.

Soon after...

Cono reappeared in the desert from the sand. It's like sand spitting him out.

Granor and Ed followed him in the same way.

Conou looked around.

He didn't see the key or his men. Nor did he see the quicksand pit leading them to a hidden oasis.

"Where are we?" asked Conou.

Grano observed the time, the position of the sun, the shape of the dunes, and the traces of the wind on the sand.

"We're about two dunes away from the quicksand pit," Grano said. ”

With the exception of Grano, few people could tell them their location within the Barryton Desert with such subtle clues.

"There. ”

Ed pointed to a sand dune with his finger. A Sandurion climbed up from the sand.

"Ed, take care of it. Con said.

Once he got closer, Sandurion attacked Ed with pincers.

"Hap. ”

Ed deflected the pliers with his shield and smashed the hard shell with his mace.

Thump.

It makes a screeching sound.

Enraged, Sandurio attacked violently, shook his head and attacked again with pincers.

But it didn't work.

Ed leaned slightly, dodging its pincers, and then counterattacked.

He exchanged several attacks with Sandurio.

Ed pushes it back, and Granno finishes it with a water gun.

"Now Moderna will know we're back," Granno said. ”

"Good. ”。

Cono smiled.

It's almost time to show off this playful hyena.
