/Later… Someplace additional down the mineshafts…/

/Splatter!/

“Phew…”

[DING]

Dale pinned down one other bug together with his spear, ending their life as a notification performed by his ears:

[Your current Level is 79 (12.92%)]

However he wasn’t happy, his progress was too sluggish, and the informal bugs in his path simply appeared to make it extra of a drag.

‘That is taking too lengthy.’

As he checked his environment, he took out a small compass from his stock ensuring he was nonetheless transferring East.

Though he did not know the place he was, he nonetheless remembered many key particulars of the mines, for so long as he discovered a well-recognized sight, the possibilities of him recognizing his location would drastically improve, and with it, the pace of his search.

Even when he failed find what he was on the lookout for, so long as he adopted the paths left behind by the Ant’s actions, he would attain one of many Queen’s chambers, attaining the identical outcome regardless.

He would attain his goal, a method or one other, however for the sake of simplicity, he needed to discover his means via these mines.

“We have been transferring at midnight for some time, you positive we ain’t misplaced?” David questioned as he regarded round, his eyes shining weakly as he glared

“No, we aren’t misplaced, I know how again… However I do not know the place we’re both. I am engaged on it.” Dale replied as he regarded on the picket beams supporting the ceiling

He approached considered one of them, and hidden beneath a thick layer of mud and dirt had been numbers:

“F-4-172…” He whispered to himself as he thought deeply

“What does that imply?”

“It means we’re in sector F, within the 4th tunnel, that is the 172nd pair of picket beams since its begin.”

“If we flip again now and take a look at the numbers, this quantity will lower till reaching 1, which can coincide with the doorway shaft we got here from, as for the tunnel, they’re numbered down based mostly on discovery and creation.”

“It is fairly easy to know that that is the 4th tunnel as we entered it, but when we discover any type of documentation mentioning one other tunnel, we would want a information to know the place it leads because the tunnels aren’t linear.”

“Tunnel 1 will not result in Tunnel 2, it depends upon their fee of discovery and creation, do not ask me why they determined to make it like this, I do not know.”

“I am on the lookout for any Tunnels I am conscious of since I by no means walked via right here previously… I used one other entrance, if it nonetheless exists that’s.”

“What do you anticipate finding there?”

“A map of the mines.”

‘It is a disgrace that Hardcore gamers haven’t got entry to the map operate, I actually hate this limitation.’

‘However I’ve to work with what life provides me, cannot make a lemonade out of air…’

/Cease…/

Upon additional inspection, it appeared to be a report of some type, filled with numbers and diagrams, regardless, Dale was not proficient sufficient within the language to learn all of it, just a few fragments right here and there.

Most vital, nonetheless, was the sequence of parchments hanging on the wall.

An outline of a number of lengthy minecart methods all through the Drula Mines, in different phrases, a map, and a really detailed and complex one at that.

Pleased with his discovery, Dale checked his location earlier than taking the map out of the wall.

“With this, our mission might be deemed partially accomplished.” He mentioned as he fastidiously pocketed the paperwork and map

‘As for the remainder…’

The room wasn’t very large, being across the dimension of his room again at Resko.

There was a big desk, just a few chairs, and a drawer, being a mixture of an Workplace space and a leisure room.

There have been a number of outdated gadgets inside corresponding to pickaxes and mining uniforms, however they held no worth apart from a historic one, which Dale was very eager on preserving.

Historical past was one thing Nobles beloved to debate about, so he would not thoughts retaining these issues intact…

Though he had no proper speaking about it, given what he simply did to this ‘historic website’…

He did seize one of many lantern helmets although as he felt they had been… ‘Area of interest’.

“What’s that?” David requested as he saved the paperwork

“These?… A sequence of experiences regarding all types of issues contained in the mines, from its general manufacturing to different vital analysis knowledge corresponding to what number of miners had been employed at any given time and the way a lot of a given ore was anticipated to be extracted yearly from inside.”

With every phrase he uttered, Dale continued to recollect how issues went when he first discovered these and what would occur within the following days.

“After these are studied, everybody will determine that the mines are nonetheless largely unexplored and that there is nonetheless a ton of ores left to be mined, the mountains themselves had been hollowed out however the underground is usually untapped.”

“Resko nonetheless has plenty of mineral sources, sufficient to final just a few extra centuries… If we give attention to our sole improvement that’s, exporting ores is one other challenge altogether.”

“That is… Fairly the excellent news is not it? I imply, that is solely one of many many mining sights of the South, would not issues be comparable in different places?” David requested out loud

“These are excellent news certainly, however there’s nonetheless the problem of reactivating the mines. As for the opposite websites, some are certainly higher left deserted.”

“The opposite ones might be reactivated over time as we deem match, proper now, we’re finest focusing our efforts and manpower in a single space.”

‘I explored a number of of these websites and just a few are value our time, the remainder… Are higher left for the gamers to discover.’

‘Considered one of my plans is to make use of their areas as rewards, gamers would like to get entry to an unexplored Dungeon they’ll farm. They’ll have them as I don’t want them.’

‘For a excessive Quest completion fee, I must safe uncommon sources, so I am going to should discover a technique to safely escort miners there, however that may be left for successive Quest steps…’

[DING]

[Your quest has been updated]

“…”

‘Converse of the Satan… Proper on time.’
