Alan raised his head, deliberately slowed down a little, and when he saw Ilt riding a landing bird, he "clicked" and only looked forward, and after leaving a distance, he spoke,

"I have a special ability."

Alan pulled the reins, and Ressa adjusted her direction and walked in the direction of the ore wall on the left. He reached out and stroked a protruding piece of ore on the mine wall, and the originally black ore faded away from the dust and impurities on the surface in an instant. The entire ore began to glow with a shimmer, and after a few seconds, the light dissipated, and a piece of silver ore appeared in the palm of Allen's hand.

"Silver Mine."

Alan handed it to Tia in front of him,

"Alan?! This is? ”

Tia took the silver mine from Allen's hand in amazement, and looked back at him with wide eyes in disbelief.

"You mean that you have the special ability to recognize the nature of the ore and activate it?"

"It is correct to activate the energy of the ores, that is, to awaken them."

Alan titia straightened up her crooked cloak and wrapped her in it with a large hood, as carefully and gently as she took care of a child.

"Alan, this is amazing. If you have this ability, you can collect ore materials without any restrictions, faster, and without the need to activate them, wow! Alan, look. ”

Tia's hand was sealed, and the circle appeared in the air, and the silver ore constantly changed shape in the circle, from silver ore to silver bars, from silver bars to silver rings, and finally into a delicate silver bracelet that fell into Tia's palm.

"The activation is very thorough, I just activated some mana a little and it was done."

Tia excitedly lifted the silver bracelet, couldn't put it down, and then happily handed it to Alan. Alan took it with his right hand, his arm running over Tia's waist and his head resting on her shoulder. He took Tia's left hand in the palm of his hand and put the silver bracelet on.

"It's beautiful."

Alan's breath is in his ears,

"Allen"

Tia looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist and closed her eyes happily, feeling the warmth of the moment.

"Hey, you two flirt, you need to be so far away from me."

At some point, Ilt noticed that the two people behind him were gone, and turned his head to find that the two were looking at each other affectionately.

"I'm afraid you're sad, you don't have anyone to hug and keep warm. Woohoo. ”

Tia said mischievously,

"Ha, how is it possible, the problem of heating is not difficult for me at all."

As Ilte spoke, a circle appeared out of thin air, and vines appeared in the circle, rolling the moo that was gnawing on dry food at the end of the line to his side, rubbing it vigorously.

Moo Moo was so frightened by this sudden blow that the dry food he had just nibbled on fell to the ground. It just took a bite, a bite. The bulging belly, which had been strangled out of two lumps of meat, also began to roll. It looked at Tia with tears in its eyes, its two little short legs struggling in Ilte's arms.

Looking at the laughing and playful Ilt and Moo, Tia smiled happily. didn't know that Alan was also looking at her and smiling.

The deserted mine was particularly lively at this time, and the cold feeling was swept away. It's not bad to go on such a journey.

Due to the structure of the mine, as the canyon gets deeper and deeper, this pedestrian slowly enters the underground part, that is, the mine. Here, there is no longer blue sky and sunshine, it is impossible to distinguish day and night, and the flow of time depends entirely on the time disk in Tia's hands.

It's been a long day, and Ressa is looking a little tired, and her pace has slowed down a lot. The chocobos, on the other hand, were already exhausted, led by moo, and stumbled to the end of the line. Lacking a mount, Ilte, who had been striding in front of the meteor, also began to propose to stop. Because, the night in the mine is very cold. People are sleepy, and a night's rest is a wise choice.

So the group packed up and prepared dinner and a bonfire.

"Tia, you and Alan take a rest here first, I'll go find the mineral spring, the terrain here is a bit complicated, so don't act separately."

Ilt said, picking up the kettle and walking deeper into the mine.

Allen was in charge of piling up the rubble left over from the mine, and taking out the prepared and neatly bundled branches from the bag and placing them in the middle of the pile.

Tia muttered a spell, and the fire spirits swirled out of the stones. A warm fire ignited everywhere he went. It was unusually quiet, with the occasional crackling sound of burning branches, and Tia curled up and slept in the "mattress" that Eren had made out of his large cloak, while Eren watched the fire spirits dancing in the flames, adding some branches from time to time.
