Chapter 866: Mine
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A new spark emerged on Abel’s soul contract. Ever since he became an elite wizard and started practicing the ice crystal breathing technique to maximize his dragon energy, his soul contract space had dramatically increased. He now had enough to contract a top-level spiritual beast.
“Master!” A strange and slightly frightened voice emerged from the soul chain.
“From now on, we are teammates. I’ll give you a name!” Abel replied in a soothing voice.
He thought for a moment, what is he going to name this new member of his team? Since Johnson was named after an action star, then…
“Ok, from today, your name is Jason!” Abel said towards the red stone giant.
“You are Johnson. My name is Jason!” Although Jason was a top-level spiritual beast, it had rarely interacted without another intellectual being, so its words were a little choppy. Still, having a new name was a new experience.
“Jason, this is yours. Take it, for now. I’ll give you a bigger one in the future!” Abel took out a portal bag and handed it over.
It was a 10 cubic meters portal bag, and any wizard would lose their mind. Although portal bags were not as rare in the Central Continent, a 10 square meter one was still crazy.
Abel had given one of them to his contracted beast like it was nothing. How insulting was that to wizards with a 1 cubic meter portal bag.
Jason held the portal bag in its hand, and Johnson taught it how to use it. It only needed the power of the will to work, and Jason could probably figure out how to use it eventually through trial and error, even without guidance.
Jason soon grasped the purpose of the portal bag. It began to place red gems inside and take it out again. It seemed like it was having the time of his life playing around with it.
While the 2 stone giants were interacting, Abel picked up a red rock that fell out from Jason’s body.
The iron density of that red rock was extremely high. Still, it was not as much as an actual iron, let alone Abel’s condensed iron.
This was why half-elf Leon’s hurricane could easily blow away some rocks from Jason’s body, but he would have a hard time doing so to Johnson’s condensed iron balls.
Ever since Johnson changed its body, only Holy Knights had been able to damage it.
He took out a full set of forgery gears, a forgery bench, and that 700-pound giant hammer he got from the Holy Continent since the Horadric Malus couldn’t be taken out of the Dark World.
He wanted to test out the red gem. It shouldn’t need a holy object to increase its quality.
Abel then took out a perfect gem and drew a special Dark World pattern on the ground. It was the Dark World alchemist’s method of using a perfect gem, and it was also suitable as a furnace.
Abel knew the red rock had fire attributes, so melting it with normal fire was not likely.
He fixed the red rock on the perfect gem with his power of the will and ignited the flames. His power of will increased, and the strength and the temperature shot up.
White flames were unleashed from the red rock, and it slowly turned red with the perfect gem. Abel’s power of the will then shifted the gem towards the bench and began hammering with his 700 pounds hammer.
After a round of vicious strikes, the red gem’s extra minerals began to fall off, leaving a piece of red condensed iron with only one-fifth of its original size.
Abel thought for a moment. If he made a weapon out of this red condensed iron, each strike would come with a vicious fire element. However, this would only be effective for opponents below the elite wizard’s rank since fire elements normally couldn’t do much to them.
However, Abel didn’t lose hope. He thought of using those red condensed iron to make gears and make a name for himself as a Grandmaster Blacksmith in the Central Continent.
But he changed his mind after he got Jason.
The fire elements in the red condensed iron were far greater than those red rocks, and their toughness was night and day.
“Jason, stop playing. Let’s go!” Abel said.
Jason put a portal bag in its body and stepped towards Abel in 2 steps.
“Jason, your body is too weak. I will make you a stronger one when I have the chance!” Abel said to Jason as he signaled to Johnson’s body.
His words sent a wave of excitement to Jason. It nodded with its big head. It saw how tough the body of Johnson was. Although it couldn’t ignite flames, it was tougher than its own countless times.
It would be invincible if it had the toughness of Johnson even without fire attributes.
The reason why Jason had stayed in the red rock mountain for so long was that it couldn’t leave. The mountain could replenish its body once it was hurt.
“Jason, look at this condensed iron!” Abel held up the red condensed iron he just made and placed it on Jason’s hand.
Jason then put the red condensed iron in its body and contemplated for a moment. All of a sudden, he felt joy arise.
“Master, can my entire body be made out of this?” It said with yearning through the soul chain.
“Of course, I just need every red rock in this mountain!” Abel said, pointing around.
“Master, but my portal bag is too small…” Jason paused and suddenly went into the mountain. It then emerged again with some stuff.
There were 8 portal begs and some weapons.
“Master, these things were left over by my enemies!” Jason threw the stuff on the ground.
Abel didn’t want to imagine what happened. He snatched the 8 portal bags, and one of them was 5 cubic meters.
Abel’s taste had increased so much over the years. Other than one mana gems and books, anything else in portal bags was rubbish to him.
Jason had gotten those things for many years, and most of them were damaged with age. Since no one taught it how to use a portal bag, it was always leftover in the mountain like normal objects.
Abel knew Jason’s intentions. He wanted Abel to pick up gems with him with those portal begs.
Jason seemed desperate to get a new body, so he smiled and put away the objects on the ground. They were useless to him, but it would hurt to add more to his kingdom inventory in the Holy Continent.
“Jason, pick out all the rocks with iron ore in them. I have enough space here!”Abel said to Jason and then turned to Johnson, “Johnson, help your friend!”
Both Johnson and Jason were stone giants. They had the natural ability to control rocks. since Johnson’s soul was extremely powerful and Jason was a top-level spiritual beast, going through those gems took no time
It was like the entire red rock mountain had come alive. All red rocks and iron ores began to rush towards Abel like a stream of water.
On the other side of the mountain, the priest, Barbarian Ruin, and half-elf Leon were stunned as they had their eyes fixed on the mountain’s changes.
“Wizard Abel is in trouble. We have to save him!” Barbarian Ruin padded his mad wolf and turned around.
“Ruin, don’t give Wizard Abel more trouble. He can move in a flash. He can escape if he really is in trouble!” Half-elf Leon suggested, but he didn’t sound confident at all.
The red rock mountain was acting so strangely he couldn’t even guess what was happening to Abel.
A gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the priest. They would also be in big trouble if anything happened to Abel.
As the three of them were worried, desperate, and confused, Abel was ruthlessly filling his Varaya’s ring with red rocks.
He was still not too strong. His power of will only had a range of 500 meters. He could only put away his objects his power of the will touched. If his power of the will was strong enough, he could just put the entire mountain in the Varaya’s ring.
The capacity of that ring was almost endless. As the dwarf’s holy object, storing a mountain shouldn’t be a problem.
His power of the will wrapped around the iron ores on the ground and vanished.
The speed of the process increased as they continued. How could just imagine how efficient it would be if Abel brought Jason and Johnson to mining.
Maybe no one had ever made 2 stone giants do mining like Abel. Even if someone had the power to domesticate 2 stone giants, it would definitely impact their loyalty if you forced them to do mining.
However, Jason worked for a stronger body, and Johnson was used to listening to Abel’s command. He had gotten so much from Abel, so he wouldn’t mind serving his master at all.
After an hour, a little mountain full of rocks had emerged within Abel’s Varaya’s ring. He felt like the red mountain had struck a little.
Just when Abel thought he was done, he spotted some intermediate fire gems in piles.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of them entering Abel’s Varaya’s ring. Finally, there were 35 top-level fire gems.
When Johnson and Jason finally stopped, Abel realized what this red rock mountain actually was.
It was a fire mana gem mine that could create top-level mana gems. A gem mine of this size was something any big organization would die for. It seems like it was the case in the Central Continent as well.
However, it would not recover for at least a few hundred years after what Abel had done to it.
Still, at the end of the day, a gem mine with the potential of creating top-level gems was priceless.
If the priest knew the value of this seemingly ordinary red rock mountain, would he have headed towards that ancient sight?
“Jason, this time, we got quite a lot!” Abel smiled and nodded.
Those 35 top-level mana gems were unlike the ones he combined. Those he combined were too pure, to the point where he couldn’t use it in public.
However, he could use those 35 top-level gems for trade and get more wizard resources.
Abel then took out another Titan armor and lighting spear from his Varaya’s ring and placed them on the ground.
“Jason, those are for you. Try it on!” Abel pointed at the armor and spear as he said.
Jason looked towards the holy gears on the ground and looked at Johnson. They were almost the same. Excitement emerged again, and it immediately began to try it on.
Jason had not seen as much as Johnson, so it had taken quite a bit of effort to put the armor on. When it finally had it on, it was like a new being.
Unlike Johnson, the white glow on Jason’s armor had a hint of red. It was the fire attribute merging with the lighting attribute of this holy gear.
Red was the color of flame, fresh blood, and danger, making Jason look even scarier.
“Ok, let’s get out of here. Jason, go have a rest in the monster ring. I’ll summon you when the time comes!” Abel padded his chest, and a black hole appeared.
Jason stepped in, followed by Johnson, Flying Flame, and White Snow. Then, the blackhole disappeared.
Abel sensed the energy of the red rock mountain. The already faint fire attribute was almost unnoticeable. Maybe the color of this place would also slowly fade a few days after he left, until the day those fire mana gems recover again.
