Gokuri.
I felt that sound coming from Lassen's throat next to mine.
You look a little scared.
The figure crawled up from [Rassen's Prison Flame Cauldron] and headed this way.
Is it the effect of the surrounding flame, or is it burning, that seems to wobble?
Looking a little further around, some of the other operatives also had the atmosphere of "the Hellfire Cauldron's Envoy has arrived".
Are you okay?
"I managed, but it was draining a lot." You've lost a lot of power. "
But I was calm, as opposed to being scared of the people around me.
Because I know who he is.
Of course.
I mean, it's made of my own blood.
"Lassen's prison cauldron keeps burning." Blood must have evaporated under the influence of that flame. However, I guess I can see what's going on inside. "
"Yeah, but inside, there's a big hole in the ground, as seen from the outside, and the hole is burning forever." But maybe it was this guy. This was the burning culprit. "
The reason why the demon sword Norn came out of the big hole in the ground is because I sent it there.
In short, I sent them to scout out.
The quickest way to find out was for someone to go there to investigate the prison flame cauldron, which had been burning for ten days without extinguishing the flame.
But it's just as tough for humans to go.
There was no way I could have gone, and it was unlikely that anyone else would have succeeded.
That's where Norn comes in.
The fresh-blooded armored soldier who had my blood turned into magic stones went to see how the Prison Flame Cauldron looked.
And the Norn managed to get home safely.
That said, my first heavy armor had changed when I returned.
Apparently, the blood-stained armor was burned and evaporated.
But instead of evaporating, the inside magic stone could bring back the information without burning.
I was given an object by a bloodthirsty soldier, Norn, with a rounded appearance, like a raging armor.
"What is this? It doesn't look like a stone, does it?" It doesn't seem to be iron, so what is it? "
"Let's shed some magic on him." It's going to be interesting. "
"With magic power? Like this...", "Whoa." The fire is starting to burn, isn't it? "
"Yeah. Looks like it's in that hole." And it was reacting to the magic that leaked out from the depths of the ground. Even if you put the lid on the hole, the fire probably won't go out as long as the magic power flows through it. "
When the Norn handed over the magic power, a flame broke out.
I was surprised.
I accidentally let go of him and dropped it.
There was still a flame after it fell, but it disappeared after a while.
Apparently, I didn't have much time to catch fire because I didn't have much magic power.
"No, I mean, maybe this..."
"It's a flame ore, isn't it? I see. Known as a flame ore mining site, Fox Valley is also poisoned. Maybe it has something to do with it."
I picked up the fire and showed it to Aye.
Soon, Ai told me about the substance.
Looks like this is definitely a flame ore.
Indeed, it was a mysterious ore that could only be extracted in Fox Valley, on the territory of Brother Bite.
The flame ore with magic power is found only in the fox valley, where there is a fault.
Could it be that Fox Valley used to spray fire from the ground?
However, I don't think I've ever heard of a mountain erupting there.
I checked with Ai, but after all, there was no talk of an eruption.
Was there something similar to what was recorded long ago?
So maybe the poison that occurred near this prison cauldron won't go away for years.
So far, I have no idea what's happening with this poison.
Well, look.
Whether it was poisoned or not, with [Venom Disabled], it would be okay.
More important than that is the flame ore.
I never thought I'd get anything like this.
It was an unexpected harvest, even though I could only get a lot of oil.
"Alright, great discovery, Norn." I need you to get me more of this flame ore. "
"That's fine, but if you go into that flame, you'll lose your blood again." Yes, I can't go back and forth. "
"Oh, I see. I don't think you can go and pick as many as you want." It can't be helped. Just get as much as you can. ”
The flame ore that reacts to magic and creates a flame is supposed to be a material that can also be used to make magic swords.
I told Norn to bring me more of this stuff.
But it didn't seem that easy.
It looks like you've drained more blood than I thought, and you can't take it home in such large quantities.
By the way, I thought Lassen could shed magic power on the ground and extract the flame ore in the prison flame cauldron, but apparently I couldn't.
I couldn't simply collect the treasure.
However, it is significant that a small number of flame ore was acquired.
Besides, if we keep collecting blood, we'll be able to get the Norns to pick it up again.
Anyway, that's how I got the flame ore.
