...... too bad.
I couldn't help but be disappointed in the sight in front of me.
Because the underground space that was a pile of treasure turned into just a stone's throw away.
The ore in this underground space was (...) long (...) and (...) long (...) and (...) long (...).
Normally, it takes a very long time for a stone to absorb magic and change to orihalcon, demon ore, etc. But the ore here was growing at a very fast rate.
Maybe the leftover water from the bath was affecting me getting here.
I didn't realize when I was always in the bath, but when I was trying to repair the broken plumbing, I felt a tremendous amount of energy from the leftover water that was spilling out.
Master Hart's immense magic blended into his drainage.
I think that such magical water has transformed the soil and stone places in this space into demonic ore and orihalcon, adamantite, and hihihiilocane called rare ore.
Perhaps if properly mined, it would have more than combined all the mines owned by the H&T (Hart & Tina) Chamber of Commerce.
And yet...
Most of the ore has just gone back to stone.
It's all because of this, the roots.
All of a sudden, the roots of giant trees that grew in the mansion's courtyard stretched all the way to this underground space, sucking all the magic out of rare ore.
I sprouted a killing intent on my roots.
It's also my fault for seeing the mining times wrong.
Because the ore was growing well, we decided that we could start mining more later.
If I could mine a lot of rare ore, I'm sure Master Hart would have complimented me.
I wanted to compliment Master Hart and I waited so that I could pick the largest quantity of ore. That was the fault.
Had I reported sooner that the underground space I had created had become a rare mine, Master Hult might have complimented me at that point.
I'm not regretting it.
By the way, not all rare ores have returned to stone.
Only Hihiilocane was on the spot, unchanged.
Because it's an ore called immutable metal.
To the extent that I was sucked by a tree, I guess I didn't go back to stone.
Hihiirokane is the rarest of the ore.
However, it is the ore with the least market value.
Because we can't process it.
Instead of machining, mining is not even possible.
There are no tools in this world that can mine Hihirokane.
The hardest ore in the world - that's the immutable metal.
My left hand pharmacopoeia is fitted with a Hiirokane ring, which is a miracle in itself.
This is the ring that Hart built for me when I was a brave guardian.
In this world where level 300 is the upper limit, the ring was that Master Hart, who activated his skill called 'Guardian' to level 360 status, managed to process it.
Master Hart does not have a guardian (skill) right now.
In other words, there are no humans who can process hijiirokane right now.
"Ha..."
I sighed.
You don't have a choice, do you?
Because it's so rare, but all I had left was ore that I couldn't use at all.
"This root... let's burn it"
A willingness to kill giant trees rooting in underground space springs up in two ways.
- Ooh?
What is it?
I think the roots of the trees are shaking.
Is the tree in fear?
No way.
That can't be true, can it?
Somehow, I put a flame on hand.
"Eh."
The roots that were stretched across the entire underground space pulled Ser so he could escape the flames I put out.
Without a doubt, I could read that the tree was feeling scared.
Looks like you're willing to do this tree.
Just a little, it made me pathetic to burn it.
By the way, I seriously don't intend to burn (...). If you set your roots on fire here, you may even burn a tree on the ground and the fire will burn through Lord Hart's mansion.
I just came up with something.
"You seem willing, so I'll tell you what. Appeal to me that it's worth more than the ore you had here. If I decide it's not worth it."
With the flames around my body...
"I'll burn it"
I tried everything I could to threaten the tree.
... Me, against the plant, what are you doing?
You can't.
I was a little upset because I missed my chance to compliment Master Hart.
You did this, and it doesn't make sense.
I put out the flames that were haunting me.
In the meantime, let me just tell Master Hart that Hihirokane may be able to mine it.
If you're Hart, you might knit a way that you can even mine invariant metals.
Then you might compliment me!
I followed the underground space, feeling just a little positive.

"Ha, Master Hart... What's this?
"Tina, listen to me! Silf and Luna planted a world tree in the courtyard yesterday, and I thought it was trembling out of nowhere."
Master Hart stood among the countless red fruits falling all the way to fill the courtyard.
Suddenly, from the giant trees that were growing in the courtyard, they said, this fruit had fallen in large quantities.
There were Hart and Luna in the courtyard, and then Silf the Spirit King, but they said no fruit had fallen over your heads, and there seemed to be no injuries, etc.
I heard a word that bothered me a little.
"Let, the world tree? This... is it a world tree?
"Yeah, looks like it"
Looks like the world tree that grows only in my hometown has also grown in the courtyard of Lord Hart's mansion at some point.
By the way, world trees only bear one fruit once a thousand years.
Its bright red fruit has the effect of increasing the character of the presence of those who eat it.
Specific effects include extended life expectancy or exceptionally improved status.
If this giant tree is truly a world tree, this red fruit actually means the fruit of the world tree.
That's so much......
As far as I could see, more than a hundred had fallen.
Is that it?
also, could......
"Because I told you to appeal to value?
A bright red fruit has fallen before my eyes, as if to say 'yes' to that question.
