Chapter 112: Greed

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Fang Ka prefers the Eye of Darkness.At this moment, Xia Lin continued to narrate the information read from Sonam’s memory.

"While looking for a water source on this island, Sonam unexpectedly discovered some signs consistent with a Magic Crystal Vein in a concealed place."

"This discovery shocked him immensely."

When Fang Ka heard the words Magic Crystal Vein, his eyebrows twitched violently.

There is no need to elaborate on how luxurious Demon Crystals are.

And even more so, the scarcity of Magic Crystal Veins does not need to be emphasized.

On both the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, every Magic Crystal Vein, regardless of size, once discovered, would be desperately hidden by the local forces.

If it cannot be concealed, it would stir up a storm and might even trigger a war to seize profit.

At this moment, Fang Ka felt his heart pounding, and he stared intently at Xia Lin, hoping she would say what he wished to hear next.

Xia Lin did not disappoint him; she quickly continued, "Goblins do not like living on the surface; they live in underground excavated cities, so their ability to identify geological formations and mining techniques are the best among all races."

"Many gold, silver, and jewelry ornaments are crafted by Dwarves, but when they mine gold, silver, and jade, they always hire goblins."

"Although the Tulse Federation has always publicly declared that there are no Magic Crystal Veins in their territory, rumors persist that there are many hidden Magic Crystal Veins within the Federation."

"Sonam has been keenly interested in geological knowledge since childhood and has a passion for this field; his research is quite experienced."

"After repeated confirmations, he was 70% sure that there might be a Magic Crystal Vein underground in that island’s hidden location."

"For a merchant, a 50% probability is worth taking a gamble, not to mention a 70% probability."

"He immediately made up his mind to begin excavation here."

"If there’s no Magic Crystal Vein below, he’ll eliminate everyone here, ensuring they can’t leak the information."

"No one will know he suspected the existence of a Magic Crystal Vein and planned to mine it privately."

"After taking everyone out, he just needs to activate the Demon Spirit Disc and head to the merchant convoy to report that his ship sank in a maritime accident, with all others perishing, only he survived."

"At that time, there would be no evidence, and no one would suspect him, especially since he is a respected Mage, engaged in long-term cooperation with the group."

"Even if someone suspects him, they would never expose him, and everything would return to normal, continuing as the hired Mage of the merchant convoy, responsible for its safety and some small tasks."

"And if there is a Magic Crystal Vein below, he would destroy the Demon Spirit Disc and claim the Magic Crystal Vein for himself."

"The merchant convoy Sonam was part of had just purchased a large batch of slaves from the Eastern Continent, with half the merchant ships loaded with slaves."

"Sonam’s ship was no exception; its hold was also filled with slaves."

"So, Sonam first went to find a water source; after finding it, he added a type of Alchemy Poison he had privately developed into the knights’ water of his companions."

"This Alchemy Poison could corrode Battle Energy, causing the Knight’s internal Battle Energy to remain idle."

"However, it only affected knights below the High Tier, as High Tier Knight Battle Energy undergoes a qualitative change, which this Alchemy Poison cannot corrode."

"At the time, among the accompanying knights, only two Middle Tier knights posed a threat to him, which was completely sufficient."

"Quickly, Sonam used this Alchemy Poison to control all the knights present."

"Knights without Battle Energy are just slightly stronger than ordinary people."

"In front of Sonam, the Mage, they were utterly powerless, like lambs to the slaughter, obeying his every command."

"Subsequently, Sonam ordered these knights along with the ordinary goblin crew to release all the slaves on board, leading them to bring tools from the ship to start excavating the concealed location."

"The island had abundant water sources, and there were plenty of edible fruits and a large number of wild beasts, so there was no need to worry about food and drink."

"So everyone settled on the island, working day and night to excavate."

"After a week’s time, Sonam and his group had dug to a considerable depth, finally finding the Magic Crystal Vein Sonam had dreamed of."

"The Magic Crystal Vein was not very large but understandable since truly large ones are extremely rare."

"The geological features of large Magic Crystal Veins are very prominent; the large ones on the Eastern and Western Continents have long been discovered and firmly held by dominant forces, with nobody daring to touch even a bit."

"The Magic Crystal Veins outside of the East and West Continents have, at least on the surface, not been made public by anyone."

"Many speculate that among the four major races of the sea, there must be quite a few large Magic Crystal Veins, but they are very low-key, unwilling to reveal themselves."

"The geological conditions of this island do not match those of large Magic Crystal Veins, and merely finding a Magic Crystal Vein is fulfilling for Sonam."

"After careful consideration, Sonam decided to build an Underground City here and establish his reign."

"By utilizing the Magic Crystal Vein to research the Magic Domain, once his power grows, he could use the Magic Crystals to trade with others at the Ten Mother Islands in the Chaotic Sea Domain."

"So, Sonam began to direct the ordinary goblins and slaves on the ship to develop the island."

"Sonam also discovered a large amount of Anshui Stone in the surrounding waters, unexpectedly realizing the island is rich in Anshui Stone."

"Although Anshui Stone has no real use, it gave him an idea to use it for disguising the island." Follow current novels on novel_fіre.net

"The following days were spent continually developing the Underground City and using the nearby Anshui Stone to camouflage the island. For nearly twenty years, he lived carefree in the Underground City."
