William was not in a hurry to set off the next morning.
He came up with a good excuse that he needed seven days to obtain a good present to bring to Dark Night City.
As they heard it, his subordinates were not surprised, but they could not understand what items in the City of Dawn could be considered a 'good present'.
Specially produced mythril?
Was it precious to the Elven royal family when they controlled half of Blackleaf forest?
William did not explain it. He brought them deep into the forest and led them tens of kilometers east into a valley shrouded by mist. He ordered his personal guards to begin excavating.
Nobody knew why the Lord ordered the Elven guards to do such labor.
As they reached around 10 meters inside, faint rays of purple light emitted from the ground.
