Rain's POV-
"Master there is something important I want to talk to you about."
When I was just about to lock myself into the workshop after returning from guild, Crystal call me out for an important talk.
"Sure. Now that you remind me, I also have something, I would like to talk to you about." I responded, almost forgetting about Ouranos's warning.
.....
After a minute we reach the living room to have a comfortable chat....
"You go first. You matter seems to be more pressing." I said, promoting Crystal to speak first.
"Uaa... You remember, when I told you about the invitation I receive from Keeper God of Cathedral?" Crystal asked about one of the topics we talked, when I was on 50th floor.
"Umhuu.. Go on." I nodded, telling her I remember.
"Soo... I have suspicions, that god knows about me being a spirit. Today when I visit the Cathedral...(whole story what happened there)... Do you think he knows?" she told me the whole story from beginning to end and asked my opinion.
"Hmmm, he knows and that's one of the things I wanted to talk about." I said with certainty and continued.
"From what Ouranos told me. Any god can tell that you are a spirit, if you get too close that is. As for Luminous, from the looks of things he was testing if his hunch about you being a spirit was right or not. But I don't think he had any bad intentions. Don't worry I will myself go and talk to him regarding this, in a few days. you can relax for now." saying that, I got up, about to hole up myself in my forge.
"Ya one more thing before I forget. Don't go near the dungeon for now, there is something fishy going in there. And try to train your aura, so you can hide it. It will reduce the chances of more people finding about you." I said, poking my head out from the door frame before leaving for real this time.

Three days later...
In the past three days, I completed the public recall formation, made boxes full of escape stones and some new potions which can increase a particular stats by 50% for my shop's grand reopening, which will happen the day after tomorrow and guild's shipment as well.
You might ask, I may make barrels of potion in one go with a big ass pot but how so many stones. Well it was simple I just make mass glass orbs with a little bit of gold (2 gram gold in 100 gram glass) and did a mass runic enchantment. Yup, I said mass runic enchantment, not directly engraving runes on each and any every one of them.
When we engrave runes one something, it gets permanently fixed on it. Its like writing on paper with a pen. While enchantment is more like those printing press. Mass manufacturing but not that good. But its a one time use item after all, no need for permanent inks/more efforts.
Topic change... The city has been in uproar, ever since the news of Escape stones leaked in the adventurer community.
Guild has been busy publicizing them and already spread the information that they can be bought either from us Terra Crafters or from Guild, after two days onwards.
With the guild itself promoting the stones and with a public demonstration conducted yesterday, everyone had full faith that it worked, even those who had some doubts.
Everything was going just as planned but...
Huuaaaa..... Life is life, how can everything go smoothly....
When I was dreaming of some nice future, suddenly a distress signal came from Shades through our contract connection, waking me back in present reality.
'Crystal reach the recall room now!' I ordered Crystal through our telepathic line in hurry. While I myself was making my way toward the barrier generator.
'What happened master? Why you sound panic?' Crystal asked, confused and worried.
'I just receive a distress call from Shades. I am currently lowering the spatial interference of barrier, so Shades can recall.' I said, removing the spatial protection of barrier because Shades don't have the identification chip meaning he can't recall with it up and running.
'Master, Shades has returned. He looks fine but there are two more people with him.' she reported me.
'Keep them there. I am coming.' saying that I put the spatial interference up again and shadow leap toward the recall room.
...
After reaching there I saw a short blond boy and a black spiky haired guy, Finn and Raul in front of Crystal. As for Shades, he was making his way out of recall room but stopped when I come in and just pointed at Finn with his chin, making me frown. 'What could have happened for them to recall with Shades. Specially when they should be very close to the surface, in the upper floors?'
"Rain, we need your immediate help. Do you have Poison Vermis's antidote? A lot of them, we will pay you later." Finn said, in a urgent tone. After I entered the room.
"Yes, just stocked few crates yesterday. But what's the matter? What happened?"
"How many crates do you have?"
"Five. But will you tell me what happened?"
"Can you help us by delivering all five crates in the 18th floor, with your storage artifact? I will tell you the situation on the way. Raul go to Loki to inform her the situation."
"Ok I wait here, I will get the antidote first." saying that I left the storage area in basement, to retrieve the items.
