"Y-Y-Your Highness..."
The Ratman Priest stammered as he recounted the origins of the red crystal.
It turned out that during one of his trips for food gathering, the Ratman Priest accidentally fell from a high mountain into a cliffside valley.
Luckily, he was fortunate enough that the branches and leaves cushioned his fall, allowing him to survive with only minor injuries.
While trying to find a way back from the valley, the Ratman Priest discovered a hidden, spiraling cave entrance nestled among the grass. Driven by curiosity, he entered the cave and discovered a spacious area inside.
Inside that space, there were several large stone tables covered with dusty, peculiar bottles and jars, and some sheets of beast-skin parchment. The corners were piled with white bones, making the whole space appear quite eerie.
The Ratman Priest was a bit afraid at that time, and coupled with his injuries, he randomly took a piece of glowing red crystal and left.
