Chapter 45 - Mining.

After a few hours of mining the ore rich in mana and elemental energy we realized that sixty percent of all ore has a very large amount of energy from the Earth element the rest divided into twenty percent still contains the Earth element plus the amount and much less and the the last twenty do not contain elemental energy, but it does contain a very pure amount of mana making it a high-grade ore of level two.

With all that amount of level two ore we would make a small fortune selling it, but that would obviously attract a lot of attention maybe Hilda can be asked to help make a direct transaction with her family and keep it a secret, but I bet she I would ask for an extra fee to do this since that would be how I would do it if I were in her place.

"Hey Torris it looks like you are very lucky with your part you will be able to make a good level two shield and some pieces of maturity."

"Hey Ulric, when are you going to find an ore deposit that contains the element Wind so I can make a quality ripening for me?"

"It is not so easy to find ore recovered in elementary energy Erick I was lucky to find this one."

Unfortunately when I tried to cut off Erick's enthusiasm I got the question I feared most from Raziel .

"As far as I can tell you are very lucky to find all kinds of resources how do you make this leader ?"

"It can be said that I have an ability to sniff out treasures."

"Sniff?"

"Your team leader and a sniffer dog now Ingredi !"

"Don't be like that, sister!"

" Really ?"

"Like do you smell treasures? What does the ore smell like? "

I should have found a different excuse, this is going to be too much work.

"Everyone calm down, this was just a way of putting my luck in finding treasures, I can't smell treasures."

"How boring, but I'm still going to call you a sniffer dog!"

"Sister!"

"What a lack of a sense of humor, Ingredi, you should work on improving it."

"You should stop giving strange names to Hilda people!"

"Although it is fun to see the two of you fighting, but I still want to return to the ability to find Ulric's treasures he found all this ore when he was still buried under meters of earth."

" I agree with Raziel he always finds a handful of precise resources wherever he goes that is very lucky."

I must make a mental note to get back at Raziel and Erick.

"We are going to focus on mining there is still a good amount of ore and the sooner we finish taking it out the less chance we will be discovered by Rank F adventurers who will come to the forest today to do their missions."

"Not a bad way to get around the subject, do you think, Erick?"

"I think Raziel could he tell us how he finds resources so easily doesn't he agree with Agent Torris ?"

"I'm curious too , but Ulric has made a good point so we can't waste any time now so it's better to focus on mining."

"Hey, I want to know, don't even try to let me out of this!"

"You are not part of the sister team so boys you better let Ulric tell us later."

Thank you Ingredi my savior.

"Hey, I want to know how he found this ore !"

"You will not know!"

"What an evil sister hiding secrets from her older sister and doesn't even try to disguise it."

"It is a matter for team members to know you are not part of our team so you don't need to know about it Hilda is you are not older than me we are twins!"

"I feel so betrayed !"

"And I was born first than you, so I'm the oldest."

" We were born on the same day Hilda!"

It is so fun to watch the two fight, but I have to put an end to this since the rest is not mining instead they watch the fight between the two.

"Hey, let's stop the fight and focus on mining. We're not even halfway through yet you start mining and Hilda stops teasing Ingredi."

"How cute protecting your girlfriend."

I throw the pick at Hilda.

"Start digging the break is over!"

I finally managed to get them to focus on mining, but unfortunately I have to come up with a good excuse because I don't think the two boring idiots are going to leave that behind.

With the passing of the hours the sun was already close to its peak on my day we managed to fill some boxes with ore we managed to break it down well so each box is weighing with so much ore compacted inside well transporting all of that into the city maybe catching someone's attention more fairyland has nothing to do about it moments like this I wanted to have those legendary rings that have a pocket size inside it would help a lot, but as far as I know it doesn't exist in this world, can you create one?

It would be very useful to have one of them, but just thinking about how complex the arrangement of various rune matrices would be would have been a legendary project, perhaps not even to put all the runes in a ring, perhaps a chest is better.

Either way, thinking about it won't change my reality. I doubt that in ten years I would have the ability to make a legendary ring with the ability to store intens.

But now I'm the one who is rambling on how much I should be paying more attention to mining. I use my eyes to see if there is any aura close to us, but luckily the result was the same as in the last few times, it doesn't even have a big aura. next to us luck is on our side today.

But when I decided to look down to see if we had forgotten something since we are mining for the last kilos of ore I see something I left very happy.

I saw a circle of energy from the Earth element, the quantity and quality of it are much higher than the ore that we managed to tell the truth, this deposit of ore must have arisen because of this concentrated Earth element ball, it is half a meter deep .

I thought about asking Ingredi to dig here, but will I keep it for me? I would have to dig only a few meters of soil after Ingredi becomes all the soil she took away.

It wouldn't be a big job.

I would not hesitate to do this normally, but I decided that I would see them as my companions and friends and in doing so I think it is wrong to hide it from them something precious like this elementary rock since we are explored in a group if I were alone here I would simply take it for min and would sell at an auction house.

Being a 'nice' guy is very difficult .

"Hey guys, I think maybe there is something valuable still buried here. It is very strange to have so little high-quality ore from the Earth element here in the forest floor. It must not have a concentration of the Earth element to create this level two ore on its own."

"Ingredi, could you dig deeper using your magic when we took the rest of the ore out of that hole?"

"I can, but if I dig a few more meters downwards I will end up having to push the earth sideways it will end up knocking down some trees and making our hole very visible ."

"There is no need to dig the entire hole just near the center of it where the top quality ore was most concentrated I show you."

I kept walking until I was on top of the mysterious ore .

"You can dig the hole here, you don't have to be very big."

I walked away Ingredi started digging she had recovered her mana for a long time so it was not a challenge for her when she removed the earth with her elementary control I saw her face turning white she made a face of complete shock she must be some lighter shades now.

"Are you okay, Ingredi?"

She answered me in a shaky way it looked like she was scared of something.

"I feel something very strong underground I was just surprised it is the first time I have felt something like this I think you are right about having a treasure buried here."

"But did you have a big reaction from me for something as simple as feeling a concentration of elemental energy?"

"And that I was not ready to feel this elemental energy, I lost control of my mana, it sustained me, but it happened because of my mistake, there is nothing wrong with the buried object."

"Okay, but be careful, I don't want you to get hurt."

Just getting a nod from Ingredi I turned to the hole she was opening, but I felt a look burning on the back of my neck I don't even need to turn around to know that a certain person is jealous of her and really possesive.

When Ingredi finished removing the dirt, we saw a jewel that had a color that was a combination of yellow and brown. It was very beautiful, you could see it was a rough jewel. it was full of the energy of the Earth element, it was not necessary to have an affinity with the Earth element to feel or see the energy that pulsed from it.

"Most likely, this is a fragment of a mountain heart or a seed that could become a mountain heart. This jewel matches the description I saw in one of the books that Professor Frey gave me to read."

"I agree with Ulric ."

Well Ingredi agrees with me the only one who can disagree and Sten who also studies magical subjects .

"Sten, do you think this is a fragment or a seed?"

"I think that an Ingredi fragment, if it were a seed, would disperse more elemental energy. Someone in the city would have noticed his existence, a mountain heart being born would not go unnoticed by the magicians who live in the city."

My god I'm shocked Sten spoke such a long sentence he must be hopelessly in love with Ingredi to speak so much in an answer to her this is more shocking than the fragment of the heart of the mountain.

Seeing Erick's shocked face, I confirm that even his brother is suppressed by his response to Ingredi .

Well leaving the games behind a fragment should be considered a level three material a real heart of the mountain goes from classification four to seven as there are different qualities of them the bigger the gral the bigger the mountain he creates.

This fragment must have come from a mountain heart at level five and a rather small fragment is with such a great concentration of energy since a mountain heart is usually more than three meters in diameter, but I wonder who would break a heart from the level five mountain?

"Well, it seems that we have a big profit this time, better to go to the city before something bad happens .

While Ingredi plugged the hole and tried to restore the floor to what it was.

The others and I fixed all the ore we mined without knowing that a big problem was coming our way.
