Mine tunnels have been dungeoned so far, and due to their effects, ore has been magically transformed into a different type of ore. Magic iron, etc., is an example of this, and even for metals such as misrill, orihalcon, adamantite, and hydrangea, whose identity is still unknown, the possibility has not been rejected.

Then... even if there were no veins in that place, I couldn't throw away the possibility that something else would have turned into something unexpected after being exposed to the magic of the cave - something that must have been unusual.

"Well, that's true..."

"I'm not convinced that something unknown has changed under the influence of an unknown magic force, such as the [gold]..."

"Hmm..."

If the hydrangea deposits were confirmed, they might not have bothered so much. However, the commercial guild is bored of "gold". It is not magic iron, misrill, or hydrangea.

"... suppose the commercial guild's obsession is well founded..."

Did you mean it was picked in the Rock of Calamity?

In fact, it looks like gold and pyrite are being picked up there.

"But that's the range of bait that catches adventurers tired of it, isn't it?" I don't think I can make a profit from a large-scale mining operation? ”

It was not uncommon for dungeon masters to plant treasure as bait, not just crows. Usually, wealth and treasures are often shaped, but there are no cases in which they have been procured in the form of ore.

That said, to the extent that it is tired of "picking things up", it is usual that it does not have a scale that can be said to be a deposit vein.... In other words, if you're an individual, you don't have to know that commercial [guild] is not enough to raise your hips.

"Even if that Nin is drunk, there's still a reason to (deliberately) invest in gold mines?"

"That's right, but... isn't that Hitoshi?" Even though you may have taunted the Commercial Guild with a tremendous amount of money. "

"Hmm... that's..."

"... no... can't you say that?"

I didn't intimately come into contact with Crowe's cough, but I didn't become ignorant of Crowe because of the dwarves. Besides, the matter of saying "I don't need a drink that doesn't interest me in the attempt to shower the enemy country with a new sake" in front of Mr. Toru of Doran was also spread by admiration and praise among the dwarves.

After that, it was Crowe who continued to flirt with Theodorum after performing many demonic tricks. It was the dwarfs' impression that they had enough breakfast to grab the cloudy-eyed merchants...

"...... but what's the profit from feeding the merchants here now?"

"Hmm..."

"That's true, too..."

Where it's a little too much, the basic crowe doesn't sell frivolous quarrels. It is precisely in this "commercial" arena that the liaison meeting between Crowe and Theodorum is hunting down Theodorum. If the Commercial Guild has done the rest, it's a different story, but if there is such a thing, it would be appropriate to report it from the liaison meeting.

"Then, there's only one possibility left."... at least, I can only think of one thing. "

"... what are you talking about?"

"Hmm..."

The dwarf had a mouthpiece for a while, but he opened his mouth as he had decided.

"In other words... I think something unexpected even happened to Nin... unintentionally."

This is unexpected, isn't it?

Umu

The dwarf at the top snorted heavily.

"That Goinjin is a rare spirit magician...... I may be a dungeon master, but I'm not that familiar with minerals... at least, I don't think there's anything wrong with the minerals around here."

”... but... look, that's the one who taught me about that...?”

The use of vitriol for cooling beer was a secret because it was stung by a nail. When I said the word, it was only a whisper, but the objections raised were reasonable.

But...

"That's true, but on the other hand, what's the other story coming out of it?" There's so much talk going on about alcohol and sweets. "

"Hmm..."

"Sure, when I say that..."

In other words-that minerals and the like change with magic might have been outside the consciousness of Goinjin.

"" "" "" Umu... "" ""

At the moment, it's just a boring hypothesis on the desk, but I can't ignore the possibility that the existing minerals or something has deteriorated due to the magic of the dungeon. The money won't fall into the bucket.

"... even if it's not gold, if Theodorum finds anything useful..."

It's just business, isn't it?

Umu

The dwarves thought about it for a while.

"...... even though it's just a talk of possibilities......"

Hmm. It would be awkward to remain silent.
