Even though the Howard Family and Edward Faenerations of enemies and they had to drive each other to death After all, both fa over the controlling rights in a se-scale families, trade associations, and other forces, their standoffs werefrom the pleasantly surprised look of the Howard Family member, it was apparent that both parties hadn’t reached the stage where they couldn’t coexist together The large-scale families would rather be devoured by monsters than to accept such huht even bait so the opposition to create an opportunity
The ‘Uncle Carter’ that Eazed at Rhode curiously before nodding and waving for histhat ed in Edward’s … and ferocious They have killed many people, and…” Eh Eed for the Travel Merchant lifestyle and she appeared ethical and cheerful, she was born into a merchant family and she wouldn’t be that foolish to notify their competitor about her father’s death Besides, she realized that this ‘Uncle Carter’ appeared a little off with his dressing Why were there no roup of fully-armed mercenaries present instead? She had never heard that the Howard Family dispatched mercenaries to extract ores
Eht, but she cal ‘Miss Seren’ by her side “… We had no choice but to escape into the deep mines to avoid the relentless monsters We followed the voices that we heard and entered your territory unknowingly, Uncle Carter… Ah By the way, she is Miss Miranda Seren of the Seren Trade association frootiate business about ore trading with our Edward Trade association”
“Country of Light?!”
Carter and the mercenaries were astonished to hear this naraceful sroup of men stared blankly and they didn’t kno to respond appropriately On the other hand, Carter felt that this young lady was a thorny problem No matter how beautiful she looked, the fact that she had co’s Party kneerful the influence that the Country of Light had and if this young lady got into any form of trouble while she ith them…
But ould soht come here at this crucial h and approached Emily with a smile
“… Uh… Emily We were also aware of the unrest in thethese mercenaries for safety’s sake and I didn’t expect that you would be attacked by the reat that both of you are fine… There’s still a distance away from the surface Since you’re not faest that both of you rest for a e for someone to escort you out How about that?”
“Sure, Uncle Carter,” Emily nodded happily, but she quickly blinked her eyes in curiosity “But Uncle Carter, do you intend to linger around here? The monsters are really powerful If they cohter and interrupted “Hey, Miss, what are you talking about? We’re not like you We, mercenaries, are born to do this Thosehis fistto us!”
Eroup of mercenaries could be But she refused to believe that they were stronger than ‘Miss Seren’ after she had witnessed her perforhtly
Sensing the aard atmosphere, Carter stepped out “Emily, I think you must be tired But… as you can see, we’re here to search for those , it will be troublesoestion, but… can you describe to us what exactly you encountered? How do the monsters look like? I hope we can discuss this privately if possible…”
Carter swept a glance at ‘Miss Seren’ This caleous However, her identity was somewhat troublesome in this situation Perhaps… I need to find a solution to resolve this probleht,” Emily turned toward ‘Miss Seren’ and Rhode nodded with a smile of approval E Shortly after, Carter and Emily headed toward the other side of the crystal mine and disappeared around the corner
Rhode narrowed his eyes at both of thes while they were speaking In fact, the soil that they were stepping on was the ground for the Earth Eleh the Spirit was sealed up, it would unknowingly reveal its eleth and the crystal resources around was the best evidence Rhode was sure that these people didn’t awaken the Earth Elemental Spirit because he wouldn’t have missed such a massive presence But he didn’t believe Carter’s words either because he had sharply detected a faint, orderly Earth Ele in this place This meant that these people had controlled the Spirit’s powers using soht even exploit it But how did the e to do it?
It wasn’t an easy task to manipulate the Earth Element Spirit’s powers No erous even if the Spirit was sealed Without the help of impressive presences like Lapis or Marlene who had mastered Alchemy and Spells, even Rhode wouldn’t dare to carry out such a difficult experiment But now, a small Trade association actually did it Could it be that they were just lucky?
It’s impossible
Not only that, Rhode sensed that so his every movement
Who is that person?</eh He pondered for aon Emily’s shoulder “Emily, I know you erous problem But don’t worry, on’t let the er By the ould you like soet someone to invite Miss Seren over too”
“But…” Eed her tone of speech after observing Carter’s expression and the ht then, Uncle Carter I ait here…”
“Good girl Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” Carter smiled and left for another pitch-black, narrow tunnel Then, the man at the other end of the empty tunnel spoke with a stern tone “Sir, there are some problems with our plans”
“I saw it” A ed before Carter and responded with a deep voice “But isn’t this our plan? Mr Carter? The Edward Trade association’s mine has collapsed entirely and you’ve successfully controlled the resources here You just need to take down the Edward Trade association and beco anyether?”
“But… I didn’t expect that things would end up like this Besides, soht is present too… This is a very troublesoerly
The dark figure re “Don’tabout here, we can find an excuse to send thehed helplessly and nodded before leaving the tunnel
