"Oh... Who are they?" Ryan asked, wearing an expression full of curiosity, even though in his heart, Ryan had already prepared himself for information that could be the key to the next mission.
"The first is a girl, Meliana Merls," the black-haired man began, his voice low but firm. "Meliana is the daughter of a Marquis-level noble from the Kingdom of Dement. The Merls family is famous for their legendary swordsmanship."
Ryan then listened attentively, not wanting to miss any details.
"Meliana has just returned from the Allen Empire, where she underwent sword training. She returned to the Kingdom of Dement to take the Entrance Exam for the Royal Academy of Dement," added the bespectacled man, providing more context to the story.
Ryan nodded slowly, pretending to show respect and interest in Meliana, even though his mind was still racing to find information more relevant to his mission.
"The second notable person on this ship is Vrelion Actren," the black-haired man continued after sipping his tea, his voice remaining calm. "Vrelion is a prominent trader, often traveling to various kingdoms, empires, and other countries for trade. This man is known to be shrewd and talented in business."
Ryan nodded again, his eyes narrowing slightly, indicating that this information was starting to form a new picture in his mind. "Shrewd and talented in business, huh?" Ryan thought, considering what role Vrelion might play in this larger scenario.
"Vrelion is known as someone who is always looking for something new and interesting," the bespectacled man continued, closing his eyes for a moment as if contemplating those words. "And most likely, the reason for Vrelion's journey to the Kingdom of Dement is because of that."
Ryan leaned slightly forward, his gaze showing genuine interest. "What is it?" Ryan asked, his curiosity growing.
"You don't know?" The black-haired man looked surprised, his eyebrows raised as he stared at Ryan with a confused expression.
"No," Ryan shook his head slowly, allowing his genuine curiosity to show on his face.
The bespectacled man opened his eyes, revealing a gaze full of secrets. "I thought you were heading to the Kingdom of Dement because you knew this information," he paused for a moment, giving the impression that what he was about to say was very important. "In the Kingdom of Dement, it is said that a newly discovered Redrin Metal Ore Mine exists."
"Ah! Is that true?" Ryan exclaimed, disbelief evident on his face. This information truly shocked Ryan, as the Redrin Metal Ore Mine was a highly significant discovery.
Redrin Metal Ore is famous for its extraordinary ability to absorb and store Mana Energy. Additionally, this metal has unique properties that allow it to absorb blood to heal itself, making it extremely valuable in the world of magic and weaponry.
"The Redrin Metal Ore Mine..." Ryan murmured, his mind racing to process this information. In this scenario, the discovery of the mine would not only attract the attention of many parties but also lead to a dangerous power struggle. "It wasn't mentioned in the original story... Or perhaps the author overlooked this detail," Ryan thought somewhat bitterly to himself.
This information was incredibly valuable to Ryan, and he knew it could be the key to understanding the situation in the Kingdom of Dement and perhaps even strategizing for his next mission. However, Ryan quickly refocused his attention on the conversation.
"The third person also hails from the Kingdom of Dement," the black-haired man continued, his voice once again low and filled with caution. "The man is Welos Perliand, the current Head of the Perliand Family."
