The first rays of the morning sun swayed everything, and Kanna and the others rode their horses and galloped westward. Along the way, on the left is a sapphire-like lake, and on the right is a golden sunny forest. The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. After a few days of walking, a small hill appeared ahead.

Denise explained, as always, "This hill is called the Jewel Hill. As its name suggests, it is rich in all kinds of gemstones. Diamonds, amethysts, garnets, peridots, etc., are extremely cheap because of their abundance. The rarer ones are rubies, sapphires, emeralds, sunstones, moonstones, etc. The most precious ones are Dimeng blue diamonds, elf white crystals, black gold opals, etc.

All the inhabitants of the Elven Realm are free to mine all kinds of gems in this hill. As we all know, elves love beautiful things, and many elves will come here to collect colorful gemstones and process them into jewelry for wearing. However, when the elves collect, they never consider the rarity and value of the gems, and will only match them according to their own aesthetics.

In addition, the law of the elves stipulates that although the gems here can be collected at will, they cannot be taken out of the elven realm without permission. Only the Chamber of Commerce, which is directly under the royal family, can bring a small amount of gems from here to the human world for trade. So when you see elves who travel in the human world, you should notice that they are basically unadorned. ”

"Ah...... It's a pity......" Julia expressed a little regret.

"But Princess Kanna is different. I'm sure it doesn't matter how much Princess Kanna wants to take out if she sees her favorite gem and says hello to Her Majesty Queen Erica. ”

"No need. Although the colorful gemstones are very beautiful, I also really like them. But when exploring, it's really inconvenient to wear a bunch of jewelry. There are also a lot of jewelry items in the palace of the Meredes Kingdom that I bought from the elven merchants, and I never wear them except for the dress up etiquette on festivals. Besides, good things are meant to be appreciated and do not necessarily need to be possessed. I believe that these gemstones are more beautiful in nature than they are when worn as jewelry. ”

"Princess Kanna is truly the chosen one of the Beauty-sama. When you hear your words, it feels like you're listening to the teachings of Mijin-sama herself. ”

"How could I be as good as Jessica? Without further ado, let's go around the mountain and see the beautiful gems. ”

The group left their horses and bags by the lake and hiked into the hills. The gem hill lives up to its name, with all kinds of gems in the grass, under the shade of the trees, and on the cliffs. The way the elves collect gems here is similar to collecting wild fruits, without any traces of excavation, leaving the natural landscape intact. Kanna and Julia, two girls, wander and run in the world of gems, rejoicing. Edward and Garcia seemed immune to this sort of thing, and couldn't understand why the girls were so happy to see the gems everywhere.

As he walked, Edward's eyes lit up: "There seems to be a cave ahead." It also emits a faint blue light. ”

Denise said, "This cave is called the Heart of Jewels. It is a famous attraction. Princess Kanna might as well go in and have a visit. ”

Kanna and her party walked into the Jewel Heart Cave and found that the entire cave floor was covered with blue gems, and it was difficult to find a place to stay.

Denise explains: "The gem inside this cave is called 'Dimon Blue Diamond'. Dimon blue diamonds, elf white crystals, and black gold opal are all the rarest gemstones in the world, and they are all only produced in the gemstone hills. Nowhere else in the world is there. And the Dimon blue diamond is the most magical, all concentrated in this cave, and none of them appear outside the cave. ”

Edward said: "I've seen blue diamonds, and they're very rare. However, some diamond mines in the human world also occasionally mine blue diamonds, although the production is scarce, but it is not unique, right? ”

"The Dimon Blue Diamond is not a diamond. The ancient spirits discovered the cave and called it the Blue Diamond because of its blue gems that were as hard as diamonds. However, with the advancement of material analysis magic, it was soon discovered that the blue gem here had nothing to do with diamonds, and was a unique gemstone. You should know that diamonds, although one of the hardest minerals, are fragile. The Dimon blue diamond is completely different, not only surpassing diamonds, but also being the hardest substance known, and not only does not break, and even cracks never appear. It stands to reason that this should be the most perfect equipment material imaginable. But it seems to be a joke played by nature, because no matter what tools and methods are used, they cannot be mined. Many master equipment craftsmen have tried before, and no tool, from good digging to crushing, can leave a single scratch on the Dimon blue diamond. There are also many magicians who have tried, and no magic can cut the Dimon blue diamond, it is completely elemental and magically immune. ”

Hearing Denise's explanation, Edward showed an incredulous expression and stroked the gem on the ground.

At the top of the cave is a naturally formed skylight, through which a ray of sunlight shines through, reflecting off the blue gems that fill the cave. Garcia suddenly noticed something strange where the sunlight landed.

"Kanna. Do you see that ray of sunlight meets the ground, is there a sword stuck in it? ”

"Really."

Because the jagged gems everywhere made it difficult to walk, Kanna stumbled to the ray of sunlight. I saw that there was indeed a sword-like object that seemed to be inserted into the gem. The "sword" is made of silver-white metal with a hilt and a lattice. The body of the sword is made entirely of Dimon blue diamonds, with only a small amount of ground exposed, and the rest of the sword seems to be buried deep underground.

Kanna gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and pulled it out. Motionless. Kanna shook her hand, took a few deep breaths, held her breath, and used the strength of the milk to pull it out again. Still not moving. Kanna examined the sword-like object carefully, and found that the sword body gem and the ground gem were completely integrated, without any traces of separation, and it did not look like a foreign object inserted into it at all.

"No, I can't. Completely unplugged. Kanna shook her head.

"Try harder!" Edward seemed unwilling.

"You can do it, you can come! The jewel of the sword and the gem of the earth are completely one. Maybe it's just a sword-shaped gem, not a sword at all. ”

Hearing Kanna say this, Edward, who knew that his strength was far inferior to Kanna, immediately shut down and avoided humiliating himself.

Denise explained, "The sword-shaped object may indeed just be a strangely shaped gemstone. For tens of thousands of years, countless elven warriors have tried to pull it, but they have not moved at all. Leave it alone, there are plenty of other attractions around here that I'll take you to visit. ”

"Okay." Kanna smiled heartily and crawled back to the hole. Depart with the multitude.
