The future of the gray dwarves is nothing more than a phrase from the Grand Lord Francis.

As long as it doesn't involve the fundamental interests of wizards, everything is negotiable.

Even if it is a matter of the survival of a race, it is just a small "face" that can be solved.

Although the shackles of the Grey Dwarves have not been completely lifted, being able to achieve the current situation can be regarded as Raymond's return for the rescue given by the Grey Dwarf Tribe.

"Frances, you haven't seen such a ruin in so many years, how about visiting it this time?" Pointing in the direction of Frances, Jonas asked with a smile. "Don't worry, this relic is the lowest risk level, and there will definitely be no problem!"

As the conversation returned to the excavations, the atmosphere in the study became a little dreary.

The expression was extremely helpless, but Frances, who shook her head, did not take Jonas's words at all, and sat in her chair and drank the contents of his cup.

The whole room was filled with an aromatic smell, and according to the wafting smell, the curious Raymond got the approximate result after initiating the chip analysis.

It turned out that Frances was drinking supplements containing kidney strengthening drugs, and it is estimated that Frances's bed affairs must have been very frequent during this time, which caused him to need to make up for the deficit in his body.

As if sensing Raymond's gaze, Frances, who turned around, had a slight embarrassment on her face. "My dear friend, there are risks associated with such an exploration of ruins. Of course, if you are participating, the precautions taken by Lord Jonas are also very thorough. ”

Raymond, who played with the cigarette in his hand with an imperceptible playfulness on his face, secretly slandered the cunning of this old fox.

Such a statement is not to offend Jonas, but also to euphemistically advise. Leave any responsibility aside.

Raymond, who did not speak, looked at Frances, and soon Frances's face turned red, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

Jonas, however, couldn't hold back and spoke again. "Lord Raymond, are you interested in this exploration of ruins with minimal risk?"

Without answering directly, Raymond, who frowned, asked rhetorically. "Where is this ruin you are talking about, and how was it discovered?"

Jonas, who was delighted, immediately became excited. "Since I am a senior member of the 'Ruins Exploration Association', this kind of information can be grasped first......

Jonas, who talks eloquently, simply and concisely tells everything Raymond wants to know. It's all told.

It turns out that this "Ruins Exploration Association" is a wizarding organization in the central part of the country, and its members are the children of some families who love to explore ruins, with huge contacts, sufficient funds, and the rare items obtained in the ruins are very popular. Hence the flourishing of this unofficial organization.

As a veteran explorer of ruins, Jonas has some privileges in the Society. So this time the remains found in the northwestern part of the Pamir hills. was robbed of the priority exploration right by him.

"The right to explore this ruin belongs to me for a month," Jonas was extremely excited with a blush on his face. "It's only a low-risk ruin, but from the hand-drawn interior drawings I've received, everything in this ruin should be in good condition!"

Raymond, who frowned, was not infected by Jonas's excitement. Raymond is still cautious about potential risks. "How is the level of risk determined?"

"This level of risk means that the strength of a third-level apprentice can enter," Jonas looked very relaxed as he picked up a cigarette again. "Therefore, two wizards above the first level walked together. You can rest assured that it is almost safe, as judged by the 'Ruins Exploration Association' through hundreds of years of experience!"

"My friends, I'm not interested in exploring such ruins," Francis, who had long been unable to sit still, took her leave. "I'm going to prepare a feast for your arrival, and you talk slowly!"

After saying goodbye and seeing Frances leave, Raymond fell into deep thought.

One is likely to be the wreckage of a Federation ship, and although it is impossible to figure out why such a thing appeared in the elven realm, it is an opportunity for Raymond that cannot be missed.

But all ruins have all kinds of risks, and even if Jonas defines this ruin as risk-free, Raymond still can't just get involved.

Relaxing his body and half-lying down, Raymond didn't want to go around in circles anymore, he went straight to the substance. "So what do I gain by participating?"

"Forty percent of the overall harvest belongs to you, because the association that provides the resources needs to take thirty percent, so this is the maximum allocation authority I can give. Jonas, who laughed freely, directly raised four fingers.

Nodding, Raymond was quite acceptable to such an assignment. "But the bucket that just appeared on the hand-drawn one, I need to have the right of first choice. ”

"Deal!" shouted Jonas as he stood up excitedly. "The process of exploration is what I need, so if you want, I can be your introducer and make you a member of the association!"

"Oh?" Raymond became intrigued by Jonas's statement. "Do you need an introducer to join this association?"

"Yes, because there are a lot of useful materials that can be obtained from the ruins, and even the magic weapons of ancient wizards, you can't join without an introducer," Jonas, who was busy making a "Book of Contracts", casually introduced. "Because every discovery of a relic means a fortune, if you want to enjoy the information of the ruins, you need to pay a certain price!"

Digesting the information that Jonas said, Raymond was soon relieved.

Although these hidden relics contain great risks, as long as you can successfully remove the contents inside, then the benefits will be great.

Because any resource found in the ruins is likely to bring huge profits, it is necessary to pay a great price to enjoy this information in this association.

"Alright, this is the agreement for the exploration of the ruins," with a wave of his hand, a ball of light from the Book of Contracts was sent to Raymond, and Jonas looked a little anxious with an excited face. "So when can you go?" (To be continued.) )
