Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 66: Mine

with the very high speed of Cerberus, it does not take long to circle the lake which covers an area of more than 1,200 km². by now the trees had started to sparse and I could see the vastness of the meadow in the distance.After we arrived in the distance, Cerberus changed back his size to more than seven meters.

even though it is called a meadow, you will not see the green scenery that you imagine.The one in this place is purple and blue grass on the surface of the sea of grass, which is, there are many particles of light flying like fireflies. As in most places in Helheim, the sky in this place is also red with a bright yellow light like the sunset. it seems like the yellow light has arrived.I am very lucky for riding Cerberus, otherwise I might drown in this sea of grass that is 1-2 meters high.because this is a place of giant monsters, if not, maybe I will drown in this sea of grass that is 1-2 meters high, then the grass that grows here is also large.

Ignis:"master, we'll use full speed.please prepare yourself"

Filia: "yes, I'm ready"

having gone out of the forest and reached the vast meadows without any obstructions, Cerberus was able to bring out their original speed.Suddenly in the great body of Cerberus, appearing cyan-colored runes that formed like many spells were engraved on his body.

Ventus:"let's start"

the cyan-colored runes meant that Ventus took the blessings of the wind to add to Cerberus' speed and agility. Cerberus began to run across the meadow at a very fast speed.the distance of hundreds of meters is only in the course of 2-3 seconds.well, although the wind was fast, but not as fast as lightning. wind relied more on agility than speed, so Cerberus' current speed was still slower when compared to other Tier four monsters of the speed type. at least Cerberus' current speed was at least twice as fast as the other Tier four monsters.

along the way, we met a lot of giant monsters that inhabited this meadow.I don't care about those monsters, though, all I wanted was to quickly get to the destination and see Soul Eater who was a rare monster.We passed through a lot of large sharp rocks and soared into the sky, the rocks were scattered all over the meadow, according to Arkne, the high rocks signified that the meadow was coming to an end and we were about to reach our destination.

because with Cerberus our journey became much faster. The vast meadow that we managed to pass within two days.this included quickly, if I myself crossed it, it would probably take more than two weeks, probably, even if the journey is smooth and does not have encounters with monsters or other problems on the road.

Filia: "you guys, stop for a second!"

hearing my orders, Cerberus who ran as fast as the wind instantly stopped and made dust billow from the ground.

Cerberus:"what's the matter, sir?"

three different voices sounded simultaneously.The tone of their voices sounded confused and slightly mixed with curiosity.

Philia:"look up there!"

I pointed at a sharp rock that was tens of meters tall, over 40m towering with a sharp tip pointed towards the sky. in the stone tower there were many silver lizard-like beasts crawling on the rocks, even though the stone was pointed upwards, but the stone parts were like ordinary cliffs that had a lot of space to climb.The stone tower was like it was composed of countless other stones.

Ventus:" what is «Metal Lizard»?"

Filia:"that's right.there must be a rare Metal Ore in that place"

Ignis:"wouldn't the Metal Lizard be living in a place that contains a lot of Mental Ore even though it's not a precious metal Ore?"

Filia:"yes, that's true, but Metal Lizard will have a different body color depending on the metal Ore they consume.Their body is a shiny white silver, in other words, their body is a shiny white color, they consume Ore that has a silver color. According to what I know, there are only three metal Ore that are silver..."

Terra: "silver-colored metal ore is indeed only three, namely: Mythril, Asteri, and Pyrinas"

Filia:"right. Mythril will have a pure silver luster, Asteri will sparkle reddish silver, and that has a rainbow-like luster, that's just one..."

Cerberus:"Pyrinas..!!"

the three heads of Cerberus shouted simultaneously with a surprising tone.if my estimation is not wrong, then the metal Ore in the stone tower is Pyrinas Ore which has the same platinum rainbow color as my hair. Pyrinas is a very rare and brittle metal.Yes, it is brittle and easily destroyed, but if we flow mana over Pyrinas, then the metal will have a very terrible hardness, he said, even they belong to the high-level materials for the manufacture of weapons and armor.

while still in the game, the Pyrinas mine would become a bloodbath as it was fought over by various Guilds and great powers there just like any other metal, just like any other metal, Pyrinas is also divided into several levels that are similar to weapons. Each level has the ability to absorb different mana, the higher the level, the better the ability to absorb mana, the better, that would make Pyrinas harder.but even though Pyrinas was valuable, Pyrinas had to be specially processed, not all blacksmiths could process it, blacksmith also needed to have strong mental abilities.

Terra:"so sir, are we going to mine it?"

Filia: "of course, but not now. I don't have the ability to mine"

it is heartbreaking, I can make weapons, even included in the list of the best blacksmiths in Alterion, but I can not do mining. usually blacksmiths will have mining skills so they can find their own Ore.

for me, I usually buy or get Ore from other players, so I don't have the slightest mining skill. I can do a lot of things, but I can't do everything, you know. maybe I'll find someone in this world who can mine the Pyrinas for me.

Ignis:"doesn't you still have the old man?"

which old man?. Which old man?, I don't understand what Ignis is talking about at all.

Filia:"old brother?"

Ignis:" old man Gard, who has a big beard"

old man Gard, big bearded?.. oh, I remember. if I'm not mistaken, old man Gard whom Ignis spoke of was one of my subordinate NPCs. back then I started to realize that being a blacksmith without the ability to mine was a disadvantage, so I bought an epic tier NPC. The NPC that the player buys will only be a ball of light without form and jobs, but the player can change his appearance according to his wishes. players can write scripts that can be the background and abilities of the NPC. The scripts written will turn into programs for NPCs that have been purchased.

an Epic Tier NPC would be able to evolve into a Tier four with the help of unimaginable resources. Overall, I have ten Epic Tier NPCs, three Legendary Tier, and one Divine Tier, I have ten, as well as the many Tier Gold and silver NPCs I used as servants instead of being cheap to buy and maintain NPCs, at least for Tier gold NPCs it would require tens of millions of dollars. moreover, the Tier that was on it was at least many times more expensive, so not all players could have the ability to possess such an NPC. NPCs themselves are divided into several Tier namely, Bronze that is able to break through Tier one, silver, NPCs that are able to reach Tier two, gold NPCs that can reach Tier three, and silver, NPCs that can reach Tier two, epic NPCs that could break through Tier four, legendary were capable of up to Tier five, and the latter were Divine Tier NPCs capable of up to Tier gods.

since this is no longer at Alterion, I actually had a little doubt as to whether I would be able to summon my subordinates here.if I could, then it would be much easier to complete more work. all NPCs are trustworthy, but I can't guarantee that they won't change attitudes in this world that the system no longer limits.

Philia:"well, I'll call him"

I got down from Cerberus and made preparations to call the maid.I closed my eyes and began to concentrate.

"answer my call and follow my request, be present, my faithful servant, my son, and my family"

after I said those long words, a magic circle with circular runes like the arrangement of Migrel letters surrounding it began to form on the ground. the gray mist slowly condensed into a human figure with a bushy white beard.After the mist spread, the figure was clearly visible.he had a dense beard, a stocky body and arms, and a thick, hardy body, and he held a huge hammer in his right hand, his appearance was very similar to that of the dwarves featured in various manga and illustrations.

the magic circle disappeared and the dwarf knelt on the ground respectfully.

Gard:"please you didn't forget this old man"

Filia:"well, I need your help to do the mining"

Gard:"really?, I'd be very happy to do your job"

I explained all the tasks and showed the mining site to old man Gard. old man Gard looked very much looking forward to his work, he impatiently collected the tools needed. of course his tools were soul items.

Filia: "you can't do all the work yourself, so you're allowed to call your subordinates to help. I'll also leave the Falcon to take care of you"

Gard: "the servant is very grateful for the kindness of the master"

I summoned another contract creature, just like when calling Cerberus, a dense black magic circle of layers formed on the ground and air. the phenomenon that was caused was no weaker than when making a call against Cerberus. With my current strength, I could only summon three contract beasts of the same Tier, I could only summon three contract beasts of the same rank, if you call more than that, it can damage my mentality and put me in a coma.

a giant blackbird five to six meters tall stood firmly before me. the form of a gallant and sturdy Falcon, a golden beak and feet, on its head has a kind of gold protector with silver colored gems. lightning element, one of the «Nine Souls of the World», the keeper of Midgard, the lightning bird, the Falcon.

Falcon:"I salute you"

Filia:"thank you for fulfilling my call, Falcon"

Falcon:"this is my duty and pride sir, so please don't thank me"

Filia:"I have a duty for you"

Falcon:"can I know what kind of task it is, sir?"

Filia:"of course..."

I told him to go along with old man Gard and protect him, as well as his subordinates during mining. I also ordered him to bring old man Gard to me after he finished mining. he can move freely in this meadow as long as he continues to carry out his duties.

finished doing all those arrangements, I immediately returned to Cerberus' back and continued on the way.at Cerberus' speed, we exited the meadow very quickly.A further day passed, and, I could see a road big enough to be passed by a horse-drawn carriage in the distance, this signified that we were close to the territory of human civilization.

Arkne:"that road is the only road leading to the city I came from, so if we follow that direction, we'll be there soon"

Filia:"yes, come on Cerberus, get to that place"

Cerberus:"good sir"

whoosh....!!

as we wanted to continue on, I suddenly felt a strong gust of wind from the air, as I looked up, I saw a surprise....
