Looking at these legendary born artisan masters appearing in batches before him, his heart was particularly excited.

This made him even more envious than seeing beautiful women or treasures.

Knowledge is priceless.

At this moment, these Dwarves, who have survived the disaster in the quasi-spiritual field and come to this era a thousand years later, are likely far more valuable than the underground mine itself.

Those autonomous mechanisms, Magic Statues, and the ancient knowledge in building various devices… the creations used by the Magic Power-insensitive Helarnians don’t seem to have as high of a magical technical threshold as the Lorelettians.

Turning back, Leon offered a friendly smile to the Dwarf named Hem.

“What you said earlier is absolutely right.

Let’s leave the underground and talk above.

With just my side of the story, it’s still just hearsay.

You can verify everything outside yourself.

Now that we have cleared up the misunderstanding, why not take your people to my castle as guests?

As the ruler of this land, I should fulfill my duty as a host…”

Whether or not he could keep these Dwarves, he had to try his best.

Even if these short fellows wanted to leave in the end to find their long-lost kin from centuries ago, forming friendly relations between Avalon Territory and these short masters would still be a plus.

Perhaps there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Hem considered the local Lord’s suggestion, glancing at the main mine passage behind the statue.

Before the quasi-spiritual field covered the mine, following the main mine passage to the nearest underground mine station would have been the fastest route to contact his kin.

But he didn’t know if what the other party said was true.

If they really have been in a petrified suspended state for a thousand years, and their compatriots vanished as the other party said…

…Overcoming all these concerns, Hem nodded at the Lord before him.

After narrowly surviving the disaster, he didn’t want to rashly get into conflict with the army at hand, so he accepted the proposal, thinking he could still check other stations another time.

“Then…

we’ll trouble you to lead the way, Baron.”

Leon raised an eyebrow, feeling an inner joy.

He planned to return to Avalon promptly and consult Lola at the Mage Tower.

Although he didn’t intend to rashly reveal Lola’s existence to these unknown Dwarves,

since these Helarnians lived in the same era as Lola’s lifetime, perhaps his little teacher had a way to keep them.

After confirming that there were no more traps in the place, Leon led the warriors of Avalon and regrouped with the Dwarf mining team.

Even the Three-legged Mechanism previously captured by the warriors was calmed down after a Dwarf technician’s adjustments, the orange light extinguished, reducing to a spindle shape… the Helarnians didn’t demand the return of the two machines whose pickaxe arms were cut off.

The two teams marched side by side out of the underground mine, crossing the rocky suspension bridge back to the tunnel leading to the Nightmare Forest, moving upwards.

Upon returning to the sunlit forest surface, Leon looked back at the clusters of Dwarves stepping out of the mine.

Miners, mining team guards, maintenance technicians, the team had fifty-one survivors in total.

Spiritual Vein Ore, Iron Ore, Ancient Mine, Helarnians….

He never expected that a simple leisurely outing would bring such an astonishing discovery, realizing he had underestimated what else might be hidden in the forest covered by the quasi-spiritual field for a millennium, besides Aphrodite’s fortress.

Leon couldn’t help but glance at Larian.

Maybe in the future, have the Ranger Knights and soldiers specially explore around this forest together?
