The Dragon Lord System
S2 - The king's complaint
The Kingdom of Arvandor, located south of Valeria, is a vast country with vast elysian mines that produce the most magic stones on the continent.
The magic stones produced in this country are of high purity.
In addition to providing benefits to the continent, this magic stone also became a valuable economic resource for foreign countries across the sea.
The kingdom of Arvandor relied heavily on the magic stone trade to maintain its economic stability.
However, right now, the situation was not so encouraging.
In the royal room, King Theovilus Alain Feld sat with a frustrated face.
Piles of paper with important information were on his desk.
The precious papers were used sparingly to record everything related to the biggest problem he faces today: magic stones.
"Damn! What the hell is going on?" attack him with despair, while hitting the back of his chair.
Theovilus had to face various challenges related to the trade of magic stones, including increasing demand from foreign countries, disruptions in supply, and the threat of criminals who wanted to rob the country's wealth.
Theovilus pondered for a moment, trying to find a solution to this problem.
He knew how important magic stones were to the Kingdom of Arvandor and the lives of its people.
Not only as a source of income, but also as a symbol of the power and prosperity of the country.
"Your Majesty, as we have guessed, the purity of the magic stones mined from the Elysian Mine last year continues to decline, even getting worse each month," said the man in his 40s standing next to him.
With a neatly shaved beard and wearing a white-black uniform, she looked like a secretary and an adviser.
King Theovilus Alain Feld stared at the report held by his advisors with growing frustration.
The man did have an important role in managing the elysian mine and maintaining the quality of the magic stones produced.
"I ALREADY KNOW! Can you see it? I AM STRESSed thinking this," the King exasperatedly replied, expressing his dissatisfaction with the situation.
The adviser nodded understandingly.
"Are there any reports from the research team regarding the cause of the deterioration in the quality of this magic stone?" theovilus
"Just the same. The cause is still unknown. Your Honor, if this continues, the finances of this country." said the adviser in a low voice, expressing concern about the possible economic impact.
"SILENCE! I'M THINKING ABOUT HOW!" snapped King, showing the tension he felt.
When the magic stone of the Elysian Mine loses its purity and quality, the country will experience a serious impact.
Magic stones were an extremely valuable economic resource for the Kingdom of Arvandor.
This problem needs to be resolved before it gets worse.
Theovilus sighed deeply, trying to calm himself. Basically, magic stones were just ordinary stones.
It became a magic stone after absorbing magic power for a long time.
But now, under abnormal circumstances, the magic stone seemed to lose the magical power it should have.
For some reason, the transformation cycle of stones into magic stones in the Elysian Mine had a very drastic decline.
How come?
Under normal circumstances, ordinary stones would turn into magic stones quickly in the Elysian Mine.
Perhaps the presence of these creatures accelerated the process of absorbing ordinary stones into magic stones.
The Kingdom of Arvandor, as the largest magic stone producing country in the Valeria continent, had always relied on the production of magic stones for its economy.
However, during this past year, there had been a significant decrease in the absorption of magic stones. The country's economy is beginning to be threatened towards the brink of collapse.
King Theovilus Alain Feld was worried and frustrated. As the ruler of this country, he is responsible for the welfare of his people and economic stability.
He did not want his country to fall because of unsolved problems.
"Is anyone trying to investigate the cause of this decline?" muttered the King with a worried tone.
His adviser replied doubtfully, "Unfortunately, the cause of his belom is known to the noble. There seems to be a mysterious power that affects the process of transforming a stone into a magic stone in the mine."
King Theovilus Alain Feld sat on his throne, pondering over the magic stone problem faced by the Kingdom of Arvandor.
The earthquake that occurred a week ago is still a mystery to researchers.
The king asked his secretary, Rio, for updates on the research.
Rio approached the King cautiously, "Your Majesty, researchers have not found the exact cause of the earthquake. However, they estimate that the epicenter was near the Elysian Mine, in the Elysian Forest."
"Hmm," muttered King Theovilus while frowning.
The Elysian Forest was known as the "Death Forest" due to the existence of ferocious creatures, especially the Blue Dragon Enclave which possessed tremendous destructive power.
Facing them without adequate preparation meant sending an army to death.
King Theovilus looked at the map with a serious expression. His secretary, Rio, observed carefully, trying to read the king's mind.
"Are you sure the earthquake came from the elysian forest?" king Theovilus asked doubtfully.
Rio nodded quickly, "Yes, your highness. Our researchers suspect that the epicenter was near the Elysian Mine, within the elysian forest.
This could be the cause of the decreased absorption of magic stones."
"Elysian forest, huh? Known as the 'forest of death'. It's scary" said King Theovilus in a somewhat worried tone.
King Theovilus pondered for a moment. This is no coincidence.
There's a strange pattern behind all this.
However, he did not want to send his soldiers to the elysian forest without a strong reason.
Facing savage creatures, especially the deadly Blue Dragon Enclave, can lead to catastrophe.
"Hm"
Theovilus drank a cup of tea and
check a lot of reports.
Recover a little of his calm.
he continued meticulously and quickly read each document with the speed and precision of the machine.
At one point, his eyes stopped.
".... What'sthis?"
