"Ah, Lord Hult, I think everyone is as dutiful as you are in their work, and the kingdom will surely be strong!" Sir Jerome straightened up, his eyes narrowed into slits, and walked briskly from behind the long table covered with delicious food to the mine owner, and took the emerald that glittered in the candlelight, and looked at it carefully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Sir Sir is right, I have been working diligently for the glory of the kingdom since I began to take care of the king's mines in Casvo, so you ......see," said Holt, rubbing his hands excitedly, "by the way, my workers report that some fine gold ore has been found 300 feet down, and the texture is not bad......"

"Mm-hmm, I'll give this fine gold a good price." The knight raised his glass, "Lord Hult, when this is done, I think Lord Lordship will consider the arrangements after Mayor Jeffrey's retirement......"

"Thank you......," the fat man's palms became slippery with excitement, "I will always be your faithful servant." ”

"But what's going on now?" The knight asked in a low voice.

"Everything is under control, the two of them and Miss Agnes have been wandering around underground all day, my men have checked every place where they have obtained ore, and they have found nothing special, most of them are black iron and bronze ores of different densities and hardnesses, and some raw magic crystals, of course, they are all rough stones of very low purity, and a large cart of magic crystals cannot refine a bean-sized magic crystal. I don't know......" The fat guy looked cautiously at Sir Jerome, whose face was gloomy.

"You don't need to know, just keep watching, and report to me at any time!" Sir Jerome took a sip from his glass, "As things stand, they're approaching the ancient pit, aren't they?" ”

"That's right, we'll be in that area in a few days, and I'll keep Miss Agnes out of those dangerous tunnels."

"No...... I want you to send someone to answer it, and Agnes must go in. The knight stared at Hoth, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

"Yes, yes, Yes, Your Excellency......"

"Come, Lord Hult," the knight poured a full cup for the mine owner, "If the time is right, after midsummer, Lord Hult will return to Santenteni Castle with me to receive the lord's reward, haha." ”

"Cheers!" The fat guy swallowed and spat, "For your castle of Santeni!" ”

The knight laughed, "It's still early, isn't it?" But I think it's going to be soon, so let's do it for the sake of our dutiful Mayor Hult! ”

"Miss Agnes, thank you for the gift I gave us yesterday, uh......" Billpo noticed that Agnes was as usual, he scratched his head and held the miner's lamp in his hand, and Sam followed silently.

"I'm sorry I spoke to you like that yesterday," said Agnes, still smiling at him with her ponytail tied, her fair forehead covered with sweat in the light, she knew everything about this place after days of surveying, and although it was close to noon, she was still light.

"Hey, I'll just say, Miss Agnes is really good-hearted, sit down and rest, there's still a long way to go......" Sam breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

"I understand what you said, I admire your hard work......" Bibo looked at her gray palms, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

"Hehe, I prepared roast rabbit meat and honey wine, and some cheese scones, my craftsmanship is not good, let's eat together." After wiping her hands with a square handkerchief, Agnes dragged Bibo and Sam to sit down together, opened Bibo's backpack, and took out the food. For a moment, an enticing scent emanated from the tunnel.

"Did you prepare it all yourself? How early do you wake up? Billy and Sam's eyes widened, and Sam was stunned as he grabbed a rabbit leg and put it in his mouth.

"Actually, it's not very early, and the ingredients are prepared in advance...... Hey, fat rat, why don't you wipe your hands? Agnes said with a smile.

"He's always inadvertently attacking the food," Bibo laughed.

"Well, when it comes to faith, you are also people of faith, try to be a garrison, be a warrior guarding the kingdom, Bibo you know, I can help you in this regard......" Agnes blinked.

"No, thank you for your kindness, we will become a guard through our own efforts! We'll be ready! After Bibo finished speaking, Sam nodded vigorously, how could he accept the help of a 17-year-old girl in his midsummer rite of passage and the test to enter the garrison.

"Ha, persistent, firm...... It seems that you have the potential to be knights, but there are still ten days until Midsummer, and I doubt you ......" Agnes shook her head.

"No problem, to defeat the members who entered the garrison last year, it is not only by strength and courage, but also by this!" Bibo smirked at his head.

"What? Do you need oat milk paste inside? Hahaha. Agnes' laughter echoed through the mines, and Bibo pouted at Sam as the plan was made and waiting to be implemented, and they laughed too.

"Any thoughts?" Agnes asked, confused.

"Hmph, you'll know then, it's a secret now!" Bibo took a big sip of mead, and seemed to be in control.

"By the way, will you be here until the end of Midsummer?" Sam suddenly tensed.

"Probably about the same," said Agnes mused, looking down, "at this pace, perhaps we have explored all these pits, and the workers are digging north above our heads, are we approaching those ancient pits?" ”

"Yes, but how do you know...... By the way, you've been researching this place, so you must know about the potholes," Sam looked worried, "but those places are forbidden for us to enter......"

"Shhhh

"What exactly are you looking for?" Bibo didn't think it was that simple, he had sneaked in with Sam a few times, and even found some stone steps that went straight underground on and off.

"Shhh ”

"Oh, there's a cheese pie here, it's mine, haha!" Sam grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, glancing out of the corner of his eye, but didn't notice any movement.

"Uh...... Miss Agnes, tomorrow, tomorrow, morning, let's go to the peak of power together, is it okay? Bibo mustered up the courage to tremble, and looked into Agnes's eyes with a red face.

"Oh, no......" Agnes laughed and shook her head.

Damn it, it's all my own fault, Bibo is extremely depressed, depressed to the extreme, what a stupidity!

"As I said, I'm going to make some preparations, something very important......" Agnes stood up and stared into his eyes and said, "Next time, we'll definitely go, okay?" ”

"Take me!! I'm going too! Sam exclaimed excitedly.

"Excellent." Bibo became excited, thinking about how to get rid of Sam when the time came.

"Ah, thank you, Bibo, and Sam, I don't know what's next, but it's something that has to be done."

At the end of the day's search, Bibo cleaned his cabin for the first time, and tomorrow would be, in his words, the most glorious moment of the house.

After disposing of the weeds outside, Bibo began to tidy up the dusty bookshelves inside. "The Rise and Fall of the Kingdom of St. Dorman and Walsender" is a book he often reads, which not only has a detailed introduction to the history of the continent, but also a lot of adventure stories and war poems, and illustrations, although after more than 20 years, this thick book from the Royal Library of the Kingdom does not deserve the value of its 1 gold coin, which is probably the only valuable thing left by the old miners, Bibo is especially full of illusions about the battle of the Holy City where the three major races join forces to fight against the demons, if he can become such a great warrior, How nice it would be.

Lighting the candles, the house is still stuffy, flying insects flutter their wings around the candlelight, Bibo discovers that the old miner Santora has left behind a lot of books, "The Mystery of the World - Excerpts from the Secret Conversation about the God of Creation", "How to Find the Dragon's Tracks" from the Kingdom Folk Explorers Association, a humorous novel about the dwarves in the northern port town of Mudchain, "Axes and Warhammers, Ships and Underground", "How to Make Flavored Mead", "Ore Smelting and Armor Making", ...... Suddenly, Bibo found a page of handwritten paper from a booklet called "Analysis of Mineral Vein Resources in the Mainland", and the handwriting was already a little blurred, as if it were a letter.

"Was it Grandpa's stay? It looks like it's been a few years...... "Bibo said to himself and began to study the above:

…… I found that things are not so simple, the result of the analysis is that the purity of the magic crystal rough is much lower than the others, there are already some rumors here, the ruins should be down there, my old friend, I hope you can look down, the current progress, at least a few years or more than a few decades, but aren't we all doing our best for the kingdom? Watch out for your eyes in the dark and take care of him, you know, he'll ......

What does it mean that the handwriting is scribbled and has become blurred? Bibo felt that there were too many things that had happened recently, and he couldn't understand it, his grandfather didn't mention his previous life to himself before he died, and Bibo also heard from other people that Santora came to town with him later, the attack of monsters, the visit of the kingdom magician, and the teaching of his own spiritual powers, the mysterious work of Agnes and the fact that someone was watching, what was going on?

What's underneath the mine? Where does Sam and the stone steps he found lead? Where is Agnes looking for something? Is Grandpa Santola looking for that thing too? This is what the letter is talking about, right?

By the way, what should the magician Taiban know, tomorrow's Anshu Day may be a very important day, Bibo felt as if he was about to open a mysterious door, and finally he entered the dream with the stone insignia of the sword and shield in his hand.

A little squirrel climbed onto the desk, scurryed past the remaining letters, and disappeared into the night through the window.
