When Elvin of the Glorious Legion and Leon, the leader of the Imperial Blue Dragon Knights, and others were walking on the way to the ruins of the ancient Kingdom of Valdia from two completely different roads, a careless little girl who had already walked the nearest road once again abandoned their carriage and took her four followers to take the shortcut again, entering a cave that had been abandoned for unknown how long.

Originally, Matthew, Gniel and Aimeda didn't want to enter such unknown caves. They were more willing to cross the mountains from the road, and it didn't matter if they were wasting a few more days.

but……

Their opinions obviously don't matter!

Under the insistence of a little girl, they had to follow behind honestly and nervously, and entered the ancient mine cave that was said to be able to quickly cross the mountains.

“It’s so hot…”

"yes……"

"I also smelled the scent of sulfur. How deep is this cave? It won't be dug to the ground, right?"

"I have no idea!"

"But it must be very deep, otherwise, it cannot be called a shortcut. If you don't dig deep, how can you directly pass through this mountain?"

"That's right!"

"Let's go!"

In this way, the few people were chatting while walking, not thinking too much.

"etc!"

"What's that thing?"

Suddenly, Gniel shouted and pointed to the side, forcing everyone walking in front to stop, and looked at the hole walls on both sides in confusion.

"have no idea……"

"Aimeda, do you know?"

Matthew looked at the cave wall of the mountain that Nigel pointed to, and soon he saw the yellow crystals above, but unfortunately he didn't recognize them.

"I don't know either..."

"But I can feel that there seems to be a strong magic fluctuation above?"

Aimeda walked forward, rubbed the yellow crystal protruding from the corner of the stone wall for a while, and then said with some uncertainty.

"You're right!"

"Of course they have strong magic fluctuations, because..."

"That's the magic crystal!"

At this time, Sonia, who was beside her, just glanced at her and spoke without looking carefully. She obviously recognized the things embedded in the hole wall.

“!!”

"This, is this the magic crystal?"

"Wow!"

"Matthew! We're going to get rich!"

"I have heard that these things are important materials for making magic cannons. We just need to dig a few boxes to transport them out. In the future, we can go back to the village to pick up several beautiful girls and live a good life as a rich man!"

When Gniel heard that the yellow thing on the stone wall turned out to be that kind of super valuable thing, he couldn't help but cheer, and then immediately fell on the cave wall, and planned to use the spear in his hand to dig out the crystal.

“!!”

"Genier!"

"You will follow your eyes if you want to marry a few beautiful girls, so Matthew won't learn from you!"

Hearing that Gniel was actually making that kind of idea, Aimeda, who was beside him, hurried over and scolded him loudly with a angrily and a little nervous, for fear that Matthew behind her would be damaged by the other party.

"Magic Crystal?"

"Stop!"

"Genier, smuggling magic crystals is a serious crime..."

"Are you crazy?"

Of course Matthew knew that the magic crystal was valuable, but the risk was proportional to the interests.

Maybe if they are accidentally discovered by others, they will not be Karthas at that time, but I am afraid that even the empire or other surrounding countries will probably want them!

"What are you afraid of?"

"It is smuggling if it is discovered. If it is not discovered, it is just an ordinary business. Who would have been idle to deal with such things?"

"look!"

“There are so many over there!!”

Gniel said indifferently, and continued to use his weapon to pry it on the rocks on the cave wall with concentration and excitement, as if he would never give up until he dig a few pieces.

It's a pity...

The spear fight is OK, but it is not a professional mining tool. For the hard stone cave wall, his broken spear is obviously a bit too thin than hammers, chisels or other special tools.

“…”

Sony did not care about the dispute between Gniel and Matthew, but just frowned and looked hard at the surroundings of the cave and deeper darkness, not knowing what he wanted to discover.

“??”

"What's wrong with you, Sonia?"

At this time, seeing Aimeda, who had no choice but to get into the money, suddenly discovered another companion's abnormality, so she came over and asked strangely.

"nothing."

"only……"

"You also saw that so many magic crystals here have been abandoned. This is very unbelievable, and I'm a little worried."

"What terrible existence is there in this cave that makes people who need these ores have to give up mining them?"

Sonia's face was a little unfair.

In her opinion, this kind of mine-rich mine should be an important resource that the lord of Kalsas and the Empire competed for and sent heavy troops to guard it, but in the end, it was directly abandoned, which was a bit unusual.

"yes!"

“Yes…”

"Hello!"

"Gneil, where did you hear this shortcut?"

After hearing this, Aimeda was stunned at first, and then, she felt reasonable, so she quickly turned her head and asked loudly at Gniel, who was still knocking on the stone wall.

"Who heard?"

"have no idea!"

"I forgot!"

Gniel's mind is full of money now, so where can he care about so much?

“??”

(???.????)

"Why did you all stop?"

??'-'?)?

At this time, Anne, who had been behind, finally rode the shoulders of her big bear, Tybers, and wandered over from behind, and approached the few people who had stopped and asked curiously.

"That's right!"

"Anne, Gniel insisted on digging these magic crystals and said he would transport them out for money, but Sonia was a little worried that there would be danger inside..."

"Then I also think this cave is a bit weird..."

"Or why don't we just turn back and continue on the safer road outside, right?"

Seeing Little Annie coming, Aimeda hurried forward and expressed her concerns, while also not forgetting to make her suggestions.

"Go out?"

(,,??.??,,)

"I don't want it!"

(⊙﹏⊙)

Anne refused with a bitter face.

After all, they have been in for almost half an hour and have been away for so long. If they move out now, it will be another half an hour, which is too troublesome.

"Let's go!"

(?ˉˉ?)

"Hello!"
