It was few days after he gotten himself a pair of new gauntlets. Now his attention is turned into another piece of armor---

Namely, his boots.
From the start, it was a re-purposed leather boots, fitted with iron plates on the sides; never was it was a full metal-made greaves.

And now of all times, a rather big hole has opened on the soles. BOTH soles. There can't be anything worse than that.

So for now, he decided to find a replacement for that. A DECENT replacement that won't chafe his soles or worn out by use. At least artifact-level.

Heck, why not an artifact? He thought.

And so, after much research of the lores and digging of the map, he obtained a map to the treasure he seek.

Another quest, then.

-but first, a visit to the pantries!

Step 1: The Trek Forwards

Another day, and another Quest for him. He woke early, and immediately ran to the stable. Bingo.

Since he didn't want to further enlarge the hole on his boots, he asked for a horse to bring at this quest. Fortunately, there's still many horses tied up, waiting for their rider.

He selected a red mare that looks ferocious---but energetic enough to throw the rider off. After mounting it and getting thrown few times, he managed to tame it enough to make it listen to simple orders.

But his butt are now sore.

Few hours later, the two managed to reach a cliffside. Reith urged the mare to walk slowly, because the path looks unsafe.

*crackling noises*

"Hmm?"

WHAM!!!

And all of a sudden, a mountain ram appeared from nowhere, knocking him off the saddle. Cursing and groaning while rubbing his aching arm, he looked at his current opponent; a beast with dirty wool and majestic horns.

...

Few moments later, after a lot of dodging, the ram met its demise in the bottom of the cliff---

-or not. Apparently it managed to stop the fall by sliding on the cliffside. How masterful!

Step 2: The Winding Forest

He remembers this sensation of magic. And this particular tree. And all of this grass and mist and bugs and mosquitoes.

This is the forest where he gotten a pack of treats. When he returned to the castle and asked who particularly traveled to the same direction as him, nobody did.

He then assumed that this magical forest somehow encircles the whole Kingdom, trapping both knights who wanted to get outside; and the Horseman willing to break in.

While he pondered deeply about that, the mare, already traumatized by the earlier ram attack suddenly snapped and turned back running, dragging Reith for some distance until the reins broke.

He cursed.

Step 3: The Dwarven Mountains

All that walking with bad shoes tires him and in turn, makes him hungers more easily. The Food he brought has been halved in no time, when he reached the destination mountain...
-strange. He can swear this place is exactly the same place where he gotten the bracelet.

He explored the tunnels less carefully then before, and reached the junction with the arrow and axe trap.

"...eh, it might be a fluke." He said, dismissing the fact as a fluke---

Click.

And stepped RIGHT ON THE AXE TRAP.

Cue him cursing while dancing around, chased by the swinging axes. Oh bother.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 18-5 = 13!
YOUR HP: 20-5 = 15!

Step 4: The Mountain Summit.

Few hours later, after many curses, swearwords and heaven forbids vulgar words, Rei exited the trap-laden corridor, jumping to his safety.

He looked back and suddenly, all the contraption chasing him stopped, folding back into the walls and flooring.

He looked at the bag he brought and found a rather big hole has been ripped on it. But at least the food inside will last him a journey back if he rationed it carefully.

He walked leisurely to the statue of a dwarf which portrayed standing on his hands. Worn by the statue was....

...was...

"LEGGINGS!?" He yelled-

At that very time, a vision again entered his mind. In that vision the bag of food finally broke when he angrily tossed it aside, sending the foodstuffs inside rolling down the mountain, starving him until another knight saved his life.

After the vision ended, he desperately stopped the movement of his body. The bag did rip, but the food does not roll down.

That makes it twice. Did he really got the power of spirit vision???

He looted the leggings and fortunately, salvaged an usable pair of steel greaves on his way back down...which probably belongs to one of the dwarves living here. The cloth from the ripped bag made a rather bad replacement for the missing soles, so Rei ended up with more blisters when he reached the Castle.

QUEST STATUS

Food remaining: 13-5 = 8!
YOUR HP: 15!
