Chapter 30 - Ignite Gems (2/2)
Commander Alia replied with confidence
”Oh he already is. The plate he is beating with a hammer is your father's future sword.”
A second after, they saw a Mine worker carrying some sort of glowing gems.
Stefan got greatly curious and asked
”What kind of gems are these?”
Covered with dirt, their value and origin wasn't certain. So no one recognized them.
Commander Alia replied with a sigh
”Gems. we have hit a large deposit of useless gems. They will all end up down the volcano. Apart from replacing a Candle, they are pretty much useless.”
Stefan runs and stands in front of the mine worker carrying the load of gems and says
”Stop!! Those are Ignite gems. Worth one hundred gold coins, each. This can literally solve your entire food situation and much more.”
Mogranius approaches and says
”Well i'll be damned. Those are Ignite gems.”
Commander Alia does a hand gesture telling the mine worker to gently place down the gems.
Stefan says
”These purple gems are too valuable. One of these fist like gems are worth four cold hard Iron ingots. How many did you find?”
Commander Alia doesn't know how to react to this discovery. She hits her forehead with her palm and says
”The mine workers have been dropping hundreds of them so far down the Volcano. If i only knew their value.
However, there are more. These gems stopped all our iron ore intake because it stood like a wall blocking the tunnels from further expanding.”
Stefan replies with an enthusiastic tone
”Well these stones provide light five meters away. And unlike candles, they don't burn out.
If there are still many of them remaining, we can solve the light problem on the farm.
And what's left over, we can sneak our way to the closest kingdom and trade them for food.”
Commander Alia shouts
”GENIUS. You should be crowned King as soon as possible. Your mind works way to much.”
Then she turns to the gang and says
”Friends, you are forever welcome to Lan Zhe from here on forwards. I declare you honoured guests.”
Eric replied
”Thank you. But i was more thinking about someone here to teach me Lava Controlling.”
Mogranius added up
”Indeed. I can teach him everything he needs to know about Fire Blasting. But Lava Controlling is not my territory.”
Commander Alia replied
”You are most welcome to come and learn here.
But for the moment, you are more than ready to reclaim Gaster Kingdom. That should be your main priority for now.”
