After arriving at the Chu Ruins, Priest Sharp seemed to have changed into a different person, like a child visiting an amusement park for the first time. He was curious about almost everything in the ruins. He would carefully inquire about every facility and every service staff. He was even very interested in the walls, floors, furniture, etc. He repeatedly checked and knocked back and forth, not leaving out any dark corners. Even if it was a dead end, he would still walk to the end, carefully observing and exploring before giving up.

But anyone could see that his eyes were flashing with a sharp light that did not match his behavior and expression. He was like a detective trying to investigate a crime scene, but pretending to be just curious and looking around.

The reason why he behaved so absurdly was because the sensor bead in his hand was vibrating violently. He was sure that what he was looking for was in the ruins of Chu. He did not hide his behavior because he was absolutely confident in his own strength. After all, in such a rural place, he, a fourth-level magician, led a group of second- and third-level magicians, just like an aircraft carrier sailing back to the Age of Exploration. What was there to be afraid of?

Even if there were any peerless masters hiding in the ruins, with their perception ability, they would definitely be able to discover them in advance. Even if they couldn't match them, it wouldn't be difficult to leave.

In Sharp's opinion, the goddess' robe was already in his pocket. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile maliciously.

"Master Jacques, just go and take care of the trial, and don't delay your work. We'll just stroll around here, and we'll go back on our own when we're done."

Jacques, Meister and Gandalf couldn't help cursing inwardly: "I don't believe you."

"No, it's rare that the priests of the Goddess Temple are visiting the Chu ruins for the first time. As the host, we should fulfill our duties as a good host and lead the way for our distinguished guests." Jacques replied appropriately.

Sharp was puzzled. There was nothing wrong with what Jacques said, but it felt a little inconsistent coming from an eight-year-old child.

"Haha, I'm afraid he thinks we're getting in the way here, so the young master wants to keep an eye on us," Sharp said self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, forget it, I'll have to trouble the young master, we'll stay for a while and then leave."

As it turned out, this short moment actually lasted three hours.

Sharp and his team finally finished searching the second level of the ruins and arrived at the stairs to the third level.

"This is what you call the guarding monsters, right?" Sharp raised his eyebrows and looked at the five cave bears, one large and four small. "Hmm... their strength is only at the upper second level. Do I have to defeat them before I can pass?"

Jacques and Meister exchanged a glance, and they had reached an understanding. He waved his hand, and the five cave bears immediately stepped aside, clearing the passage.

"Your Excellency the Priest is here for sightseeing. As long as we have a sweeper to lead the way, there is no need to fight the guardians," said Jacques.

"Oh, so I was invited by the host to visit the third floor. Your Marsala Trial is held here, right?" Sharp asked.

"This is a family secret and cannot be disclosed," Meister replied.

"That's bullying. Aren't there only three floors in the ruins? This is clearly written in the report of the Relics Appraisal Office. If it's not on the first or second floor, then it must be on the third floor, right?" Sharp said bluntly, "Since you invited me to visit, don't blame me if I accidentally discover the biggest secret of the Masala family. You are the ones who invited me in."

"This..." Jacques' tone was a little nervous.

"Of course." Meister put his hand on Jacques' shoulder and replied reluctantly.

"That's easy." Sharp and his team rushed into the third floor eagerly. When they passed the stairs, they did not find any mystery, so the master and servant breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, we seem to be getting closer and closer to each other." Meister patted Jacques on the shoulder. "The expression on your face just now when you were about to be exposed was so realistic. I'm afraid that the priest is at least 70% sure that the secret is on the third floor. This can buy us some time."

Jacques was sweating profusely, but not because of the argument he had just had with Sharp.

On the surface, Sharp and his team had an absolute advantage in numbers and strength. But how strong was the hidden Mestre? Jacques had no idea.

At this point, Jacques stopped talking nonsense and asked Meister directly: "Are you confident?"

Meister smiled slightly, "Of course. I will go ask Uncle Shaya and the others to help clear the place. Young Master, please stay on the third floor with them to kill time."
