Chapter 339 - Volume 3
Chapter 118 – The end of the flourishing flowers
Even though Bosley claimed that the materials in the Dark were not useful, he knew it was simply untrue. He did not have much knowledge in paving a road, but he understood the Dark Forest very well and knew that it was too dangerous, despite the materials’ usefulness to his work.
“That would certainly be quite troubling.” Ciel shook his head as he spoke.
“What are you not saying?” Bosley suddenly felt the wizard was insinuating something.
“My lord….. He found a Greater Mana crystal mine in a tunnel that used to be a river…… But based on your words, Grandmaster Bosley, it’s impossible to make it ours.”
“A Mana Crystal Mine!” The old man really jumped up this time: “Are you serious!”
“No, I mean to say it’s a Greater Mana crystal mine,” Ciel hurriedly corrected him: “But based on my lord’s observation, there might be Starmetal and Cold Iron, with the possibility of other types of minerals.”
“An iron mine……” Bosley’s voice was cracking.
The red-haired girl patted her head in response.
Brendel did not reply to Amandina, or mind Felaern’s taciturn attitude and simply smiled. He looked up at the night sky for a moment. There was no wind and the leaves did not rustle. The environment was completely quiet save for the singing.
The brightest star was said to be Marsha’s, and he looked at it as the year passed by. He would always remember how he came to this world in April and saw the same starry sky in Bucce. The events that happened made him recall all the people that he encountered. They came and went in his mind, but the people of Bucce stayed in his mind.
[The next year will be the Year of the Swords. The upcoming bloody civil war will soon feel the effects of the Great Mana Wave. It’s not as chaotic as the future wars or the cause of Aouine’s demise, but this kingdom’s foundations will start to shake.]
The path of the stars changed and showed signs of swords. Thus the astrologists named the year as Year of the Swords, and heroes were born as if to answer this destiny.
Swords represented conquest.
They were murderous weapons that caused people to bleed.
It was the year where Aouine’s tumultuous civil war started, and the year where gamers wrote their own legends.
[This is the year that decides the future of Aouine. The time is near. Aouine either regains its former glory or continue down its original path to the abyss.]
The young lord stood up and went over to look at the Loop of Trade Winds beneath him.
The landscape caused the circulation of the winds to form a massive loop, entering from the southern forest of Mountain Karanjar, then passing through the islands until it went up to build a wall of clouds. It was as if an ancient beast was lying right before him.
