Aerin beamed brightly as she sat opposite Broken.
"I have some good news for you, Broken," she began. "There's a cave nearby where the Forest Elves do their mining. Inside that cave, you'll find the Mithril you're looking for."
"That's wonderful news," Broken replied. "But can an outsider like me mine these resources? Is there a price I need to pay for it? After all, Mithril is incredibly valuable."
Aerin nodded enthusiastically.
"Mithril is one of the most valuable minerals out there," she said. "It contains powerful magical properties, making it ideal for crafting weapons and armor. Unfortunately, the Forest Elves haven't been able to make good use of it for a long time—we lack skilled blacksmiths here. But from what I've heard, you're free to take as much as you need."
Broken furrowed his brow as he processed her words.
"Free?"
