After collecting the useful materials from the Purple Insect's tail, Bartlett met with the group of people he had rescued. He helped them move their unconscious companion to a safer place and assisted a dwarf named Mason in placing a splint on his broken leg. He watched the head of the bodyguards, Byrd, as he fed a potion to the unconscious comrade.
Once everything was taken care of, the dwarf suddenly took out a heavy ore from his spatial equipment.
It was a rather peculiar piece of ore. Although it looked no different from ordinary iron ore, it somehow gave off a sense of extreme sturdiness.
