Chapter 46: Too Late!
For the next few hours, Zen used his hints and his knowledge to help the tribesmen find more and more ores.
The type of ores they could find within this mountain was limited, but they still collected large amounts of iron, tin, copper, and lead.
However, what Zen feared turned out to be true: even the ores were contaminated, the iron wasn't as strong as it should be, it was brittle, and it could easily rust. Copper had slight poisonous properties, though not a problem for the Dogan tribe to handle, Zen himself couldn't collect it. and the other ores they found were also somewhat like this.
Thus, finding something, however it might be to purify resources like this, became Zen and the tribe's number one goal, as such a thing was what stopped them from advancing forward faster.
