In the huge mansion of Mr.Heisenberg,
The white haired Ariya is sitting on his usual chair matched with the dark coloured wooden desk and he is reading books placed on his desk, but instead of novels and story books he was reading something that his father recommended.
Heisenberg gave bunch of books to his valet to deliver it personally to his son. Ariya opened the suitcase of books and along with that he also saw the note his father wrote.
"Use your time wisely my son, the research is going intense here. I have to some foregoing allegations and formulate a part regarding the tomb that appeared on the west part of Ceque kingdom. Do not Disclose this matter of books that I sent with anyone. Make sure you handle properly and always place them in the suitcase. The suitcase has been line with sodium borohydride, it act as an reducing agent and..."
"As always he would dump his knowledge to the full potential on whatever he does. A man of focus."
"That's why he became the Minister of Royal Line in such short time"
The butler who is older only by some years stood beside him appreciated Heisenberg.
"Nicholas, didn't you leave just now"
"It's your mistake to read the letter aloud which is supposed to non disclosure letter. Don't worry, you know me, young master"
"Bring me new black ink bottle and a hot tea without sugar"
"Yes young master, it will be ready in 5 minutes"
Tap tap tap
"Nicholas walked out. He is overprotective recently" Ariya said to himself.

"I got the random loot in the tomb!!"
A middle aged man in adventurers clothes shouted in excitement.
It's looking like a big metal treasure chest. If only I can obtain an artifacts...
"Yes! I obtained an artifact, now I can roll on atleast 300 pounds!"
He got excited as he saw an Ancient book covered with monster skin and had a red colour ruby embedded on it at the center of the book.
"Bogus, do not take that with your bare hands. Take it along with the treasure chest. It is currebtly acting as an seal for the artifact"
"Oh, I know that. First of all, let's wrap this treasure chest up and carry it out of the tomb. We have formulated the exploratory map till this point. We can get 40 rupas for this one." Bogus asked his friend to carry the small-chest that had artifact in it.
'Clang!,clang!'
Hearing the sword hitting a hard metal like surface, Bogus asked "Who is fighting there?"
Immediately Bogus' friend tried to convince him to not to enter the area where the sword clang sound is heard. "Let's ignore that and move towards exit, they must have took the other path, lucky for us, we had only met the low level Mijuan monster, the slime cores that initially came to us in swarms are actually a good harvest here".
"Yes, but peeking won't do any bad. Just a peek, then we will proceed directly to the exit." Bogus resisted his friend and insisted him to accompany him.
"No way, I won't be a bait for curiosity"
"Tsk!" Bogus followed his friend to the exit. They exchanged their looks frequently and ensured no one is following them. They are armed with swords and a small horn on their hips.
They used the map they formulated during their exploration to go back on the same way they came.
"There it is! I can see the light from outside!!

In the evening,
In the grand Mansion of Heisenberg,
Nicholas entered Kesavan Room and placed the tea on the table. He brought a letter with a seal that looked similar to the one Johan received back then before the second trial. "Young master, I think your free time is going to end soon. You are invited to the Dukly Service as Honorable Candidate. I think you will be joined and trained with the newly joining candidates. They must have worked hard to reach there."
"Nicholas, I also worked hard. I read so much and passed the exam and my internship, that's the hardest one. If we're not for the A rank weapons provided by father, I couldn't have done it."
"Bring the Deciphering Dictionary from the basement library. It's code is R08. I think its in the 3rd shelf."
"Anything else, master"
"Give me documents related to the initial procedure and behaviour of Dukly Sevice towards newly joined candidates in the past. If you can gather their reviews and their experiences in a notebook, that would ne better."
"I can assign Detective Michigan, he will do that work without any time delay. I need your sign for the 10 pounds, I don't know how much he will ask for this mission. The documents must be with the Dukly Service,we can bribe them to copy it. The job would be done by evening"
"I think 10 pound is too much, bring 5 pounds to him. If he asks any more than that drop it. I don't give much importance to this. Preparation before anything will pave way for success."
"Your ideals are always noble, young master. You have rifle shooting training at 3'O clock. Pack your things accordingly and put the books safely in the case before leaving. Don't depend on maids for handling these. It may cause some trouble and doubt. The bullets are in the ground floor, weapon storage room. You have left your silver laiden rifle at the shooting area"
"I am in a hurry to go to library that day, I planned to borrow some books there. Take these three books when you are going to meet Mr.Michigan, return them in the library. Here, take them"

After one hour of roaming, Bogus and his friend Telemachus reached a vintage style bar.
"Are you here for Samuel?" The bouncer wearing a blue uniform with black belt stopped them. He had a big noticeable mustache with uncut beard. He is holding a cane tightly in his hand. And there is a black colour revolver in his holster.
"Yes, we got something worth his time, but it's not related to the bounty posted on the 'Pool'. Pool is the name of the board that is used for posting bounties on the materials people needed for.
Sometimes, even specific missions of exploring the tomb and bringing some herbs or plant fruits that are rarely found in tombs. Monster parts are also posted there for the purpose of gaining ingredients for forging weapons, armors and special accessories. And some people post for food! Yes food! People love certain monsters meat and their soup are said to have certain medicinal benefits. Though the description of usage and their process of cooking is not much circulated, certain nobles and high status people who gain the knowledge over them post them.
Only the people who have strong guards and adventurers protecting would assign random missions for relics. Possession of relics would make them more powerful and to use them, the corresponding knowledge is needed.
Bogus and his companion entered the bar and they straight away walked towards the bartender and said the code "Poppy is ice cream" in ancient cequese.
"Go to the third floor, use the stairs, room no.444"
Bogus moved 2 cents to the bartender and started to climb the stairs. The 'chest' is carefully disguised with clothes and he brought it in a suit case. They climbed the three stories and opened the room with number 444.
People roamed there randomly, though it is named as a room, it is filled with people and each one wore a mask, they all searched for their rooms and entered it.There are rooms every where. It was a narrow hall! A narrow hall that doesn't include the bar area. It is longer than the bar. It seems bar in the ground floor is only a small part of it compared to the narrow hall. Simply put, it's a market!
They saw a Bouncer who wore black coat with white shirt. He didn't have any cane. But his belt body and bald head represented his strength without any words. They said the same code to him and he immediately let them go to a check are that was separated from the narrow hall with a partition.
"We want to appraise a relic. We brought it along with us"
The man in his 60s told them "Approach the 5th room on the key side." He maintained his cold pose and didn't let any other words slip out of his tongue.
"Thank you sir"
