Then, hugging Leonard Churchill’s arm with a sly smile on her face, she was led in a skip.
...
Although they had a prospecting map in hand, finding the coordinates in the Underground Cave world was not so easy.
They traversed mountains and valleys, navigated dark streams and waterfalls, and climbed through holes and walls—the journey was anything but smooth.
Anyway, Leonard Churchill and Vera Williams, looking at that map, were both unsure they could find that place in a short time.
But Elder Clinton was mysteriously confident, claiming he could find it.
Not sure if he had the right path, but the group groped their way in the dark and walked for an entire day.
All along their journey, they collected mineral samples and analyzed them with alchemy potions, but saw not a trace of Mithril Ore.
They didn’t know if they were correct.

Leonard Churchill just felt the general direction was not off and followed along.
Luckily, Elder Clinton might have had questionable abilities elsewhere, but his intuition for “avoiding danger” was reliable.
The group, on their way, aside from encountering a few monsters that weren’t too troublesome, didn’t meet any real danger.
After about fifteen hours, the group arrived at the edge of a cliff.
All around were cliffs glowing faintly green, shrouded in mist.
Although they still hadn’t found any traces of Mithril, they had to stop to rest.
Pigeon had been in the refugee camp for a while and was adept at survival, quickly gathering wood to start a fire.
Before long, the fire was blazing, a tent was set up beside it, and the aroma of meat soup was bubbling in the iron pot.
Leonard Churchill jumped up from the cliffside, took out rock fragments he had chiseled from the surrounding rock walls, and handed them to Vera Williams.
She began testing the samples.
And besides...
Vera Williams had come searching for the Mithril Mine with great anticipation, even risking most of her inheritance to continue purchasing Bolton Mechanical Town.
If she really couldn’t find it, it would be like losing a crucial gamble with fate.
Before, she thought she would be extremely disappointed.
But now, not anymore.
Having met Leonard Churchill, Vera Williams felt it was the luckiest encounter of her life so far.
Even if they didn’t find the Mithril Mine, she’d still be very happy.
With this thought, the heiress of the Financial Conglomerate showed a heartfelt smile in the dark and frightening cliff surroundings.
If she could, she thought this kind of “adventure” could continue.
Even if they kept searching indefinitely, it wouldn’t be boring.
As countless thoughts filled her mind, Vera Williams listened as Leonard Churchill spoke up, “Senior, do you think we still have a chance of finding the Mithril Mine? After all, we saw no sign of Mithril in the nearby rock layers.”
“Well...”
Elder Clinton did know about prospecting, and normally, there wouldn’t be hope.
But with the thought of the path he had chosen, perhaps to corroborate his own views, he recounted a mythical story, “It’s not entirely impossible. Some Mine Veins have a ‘Gold Aggregation Effect.’ The metals can be very concentrated in one area instead of being evenly distributed everywhere.”
Leonard Churchill and Vera Williams both glanced over, “Gold Aggregation Effect?”
Elder Clinton continued, “Yes, usually it’s the influence of some Extraordinary Power, like an array, Restriction, or some special item’s energy field, that causes abnormalities.”
“...”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately thought of the situation in the Alternate Dimension of ‘The Greedy Miner.’
The Sealing chamber with that jar had concentrated a vast amount of Mithril of varying densities.
This explanation seemed to fit perfectly.
Elder Clinton added, “Legend has it that the Mythical Dwarf race possessed a Divine Artifact known as the ‘Ring of Gold Aggregation,’ which functioned to gather the sparse elemental metals from the Mine Vein for easier extraction. But as a result, the ores in the outer rock layers were of much poorer Quality, sometimes leaving no trace at all...”
