the time wow these tasks are quite
abstract XI Hong remarked indeed they
are not easy to accomplish laming agreed
Jang Ed briefly before making a decision
let us split up what do you all think
agreed I can handle the mining task
gonon volunteered she possessed a
perfect pickaxe blue so completing the
task should pose no problem Wong Yun
immediately raised her hand then I'll
accompany tontion in the mining may I
join in as well laming suggested that I
believe I can also attempt the third
task helping the dwarves with mining
could potentially earn us their favor I
believe Zing's reasoning is sound gang
nodded it xiong looked around and
finally spoke then xang and I will head
to the eastern district to catch the
thief he was utterly unwilling to mine
having grown weary of digging during
this period all right it's settled
please take care G Shang advised
understood guu tonon LED hang Yun
towards the Western passage with laming
following closely behind the group of
five split into two one heading east the
other West hang Yun expressed her
concern tontion do you think we as out
Outsiders might be perceived as
Intruders by those NPCs it is quite
possible let us remain Vigilant gonon
replied their worries proved unwarranted
for as soon as they stepped into the
mine a Burly barechested dwarf
approached them the dwarf impatiently
exclaimed you humans are always dawling
you arrive now and still expect
compensation standing at approximately
1.2 M tall the dwarf had short braided
hair secured with golden rings his
muscular upper body was exposed with
large nostrils and a bushy beard that
connected to his nose hair when angered
his eyes bulged like copper bells and
the hair on either side of his nose
twitched giving him a fierce appearance
hang Yun quickly stepped forward and
bowed apologetically I am so sorry for
our tardiness may I ask where our work
area is we shall attend to it
immediately seeing her sincere demeanor
the dwarf huffed and said take off your
masks and follow me no hiding anything
while mining do you understand if caught
you shall face dire consequences
understood understood hang Yun responded
immediately removing her mask and
pretending to tuck it into her pocket
though in reality she stored it in her
systems backpack ready to put it back on
if danger arose the dwarf nodded
approvingly at Hong Yun and then turned
his gaze towards the other two guon tion
and laming heardly complied removing
their veils and masks understood
understood the three follow the dwarf
deeper into the mine where the space
gradually widened allowing laming to
stand upright guu tontion and the others
attempted to strike up a conversation
with the leading dwarf to gain his favor
but he remained unwelcoming
acknowledging only hang Yuan with a
single remark while dismissing the
others with a disdainful expression when
hang Yun sought to engage further he
ceased to respond Deon discreetly tugged
at her signaling her to observe quietly
lest they provoke the dwarf and incur
unnecessary
repercussions thus they fell silent The
clattering Sounds echoed throughout the
mine their Source indistinct The Light
Within grew increasingly bright
glimmering as if infused with gold after
traversing through a stone doorway they
arrived at a spacious area bustling with
the boisterous laughter and chatter of
dwarves the male dwarves outnumbered the
females all bearing a striking
resemblance to one another a dwarf
wheeled a cart past them and upon
glimpsing its contents gonon and her
companions were taken AB momentarily
halting their steps the cart was filled
to the brim with gold bars they were
indeed mining gold ore and of a notably
High Purity at that the dwarf observing
them from the corner of his eye quickly
