Chapter 1594: Underground Mine!
From MC’s Perspective:
Time goes by,
We continued flying over the endless land. There is no sign of vegetation. There are no shrubs whatsoever. The place looked cold and cracked ground can be seen everywhere.
I started to wonder whether any mine could be found in this place.
“Are you taking me to the right place?” I asked the old man.
Patrick’s heart skips a beat. Then he collected his thoughts and answered,”Master, it’s the right direction. I hadn’t seen mine by myself. But I had come across the mine guards before.”
Hearing that I sighed in relief. Then I didn’t ask further. But I’m thinking about the next course of action. Obviously, I can’t take him inside.
I wanted to do the job covertly. His existence would expose me. Then I thought of an idea. I’m going to use him to leave the Disordered Land later.
Time goes by,
“We have reached the place,” Patrick said all of a sudden.
Hearing that I looked ahead and spotted many uneven rocks sprawling across land. But I see no sign of wizards and mine.
Then I turned towards him.
Patrick noticed the gaze. He said,”This is where I encounter the mine guards.”
Hearing that I paused my movements and started looking around. All around me was nothing but an endless stretch of barren land.
I was confused. I don’t doubt him. Patrick was bound by a curse. He won’t lie to me. Could the mine be located in this direction?
Then I decided to explore alone. I have another job for Patrick.
“You go back and hide near the Great Bamboo City. I wanted to collect every intel on movements of all the Factions. Including the White, Dark and Neutral Factions,” I said to him.
Hearing that old man Patrick was relieved. He thought he was going to die here. Then he gave a grateful look towards the young man before leaving.
Swoosh!
When he left the place. I turned towards the director ahead. Now, I have to explore the place myself.
I started moving forward. Slowly, I noticed the changes in the surroundings. The density of mana has become pure and rich.
For a second, I was confused. Then I ran the mental method to feel it carefully. Then I confirmed that it was indeed the case.
The mana in the surroundings unusually got stronger in this barren land. Then I continued moving forward.
It didn’t take long for the system to warn me.
[Ding! Warning!]
[Presence of Wizards detected ahead!]
Hearing that I stopped. Then I tried to observe the place ahead. There seems to be land split open ahead. It’s a huge crack.
Apart from that crack, I saw no one around the vicinity. A hint of suspicion flashed in my eyes.
“Don’t tell me the mine was some kind of underground mine,” I thought.
Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion and waited for the night time to appear.
Time goes by,
When midnight came, I appeared outside. No wizard can sense my presence because of the system.
Not only that, I’m wearing a face mask and black clothes right now. I can easily blend into the darkness.
Then I started to move towards the huge cracked mouth. As I got closer, I noticed that the size of the crack was wider than I thought.
It’s probably stretching across hundreds of metres ahead. Then I slowly moved towards the cracked edge where it started.
At the same time, I’m asking the system about the guards. Because I have spotted not a single person so far.
A few minutes later,
I appeared at the edge of my mouth. I looked down below. Then I saw the amazing scene. There are many cave mouths.
Two guards are standing in front of each cave mouth. These caves are likely passages for mining.
I used the system to probe the strength of the guards. All of them are Level-9 Wizards. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
I did a good job of sending Patrick away. Now, I have to trick these people.
As the time goes by,
I continued to observe these people. There are more than 10 mouths. But the crack was extended over hundreds of metres. There must be similar cave mouths there.
First, I decided to enter one of the cave mouths to investigate. If I move at night, then there are less chances for them to see me.
I waited for the perfect opportunity. Then I saw both the guards were chatting for a brief moment. They left one of the sides unguarded.
Swoosh!
I used the flight ability to enter the cave mouth from the left side. The 2 guards are facing the right direction and chatting. They didn’t know someone sneaked in silently.
Not only they didn’t see him. It’s the same case with others. They are minding their own business. If it were some other wizards, their mana breath would have exposed them.
After appearing inside the cave mouth, I have started walking inside. The lights were set up inside. So there is no problem with the illumination.
I started using the system to check whether this place got any manna stones. The results came as positive. Indeed, these people are mining mana grade stones.
But they were found deep underground.
Rustle!
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from ahead. But I haven’t seen anyone. There is nothing to provide me cover here.
So I could only hide inside the Gregor Mansion. Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
Outside,
A few of the mine workers started coming out. They are mid level wizards from level-6 to level-7. It’s just these people are middle aged and old.
Mining is the only easiest way for them to get resources for their family and them. These people are now discussing casualty.
Many people die each day. The environment is not good here. As they went down below, they were exposed to the polluted mana.
Unless, they get the mana stones to purify them. It’s difficult to survive here.
