BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191: Mines
Ariel couldn\'t understand what was going on, so she turned to Narbeth and the others and received the following reply:
"Yeti feathers are very luxurious materials and their blood has healing properties, very healing for half-demon children born weak."
However, Ariel realized that she needed to send another message to James and wrote to him that she needed the yeti bodies.
"The bodies of the other yetis will be here, no problem, let\'s get on with our work." Ariel suddenly said and everyone started to get on with their work, happy to be out of danger.
James, on the other hand, had already sent the bodies of the yetis to his inventory and managed to return to the mine\'s door.
When he asked for the door to be opened, the dwarves who had come out saw that James was covered from head to toe in blood and shook their heads in disbelief, trying to understand what had happened.
No one seemed to believe that James could actually kill Yetis, which must have been why the dwarves were grumpy, each of them must have thought they were on a killing mission.
"Are you all right, sir?" asked the leader of the mine and with a nod from James all the dwarves were ordered back to work.
Several crates full of ore were placed on the snow drifts in front of James, along with the wagons coming down the tracks.
James was sending perhaps a tonne of ore to his inventory, never had it worked so well for climbers to have unlimited inventories.
James had so far filled 23 pages of the sixteen rows of inventory sheets, with eight empty spaces in almost every row.
This meant that James had exactly 2944 crates of various types of ore in his inventory.
Since each crate was capable of holding exactly 10 tonnes of ore, he had exactly 29,440 tonnes of ore in his inventory.
James was very pleased with this development, he now understood why certain regions were important to the guilds. That was why the two kingdoms claimed by Olympus and Asgard in the war that broke out during his time in the Imperial Library were so important to them.
Both kingdoms were rich in minerals.
When the dwarves went back to their work, James took off his thick clothes full of blood in the middle of all the snow and then put on new clothes and continued to observe his surroundings.
He had managed to get the blood off his head on top of the snow and had chosen to go about his task with what he considered to be almost complete cleanliness.
"You have done an excellent job, James. It was genius of you to think of using my father\'s sword art in that way. Of course, I would have told you about such use when you mastered the art of the sword, but the fact that you thought of it before I told you was brilliant. I\'m proud of you."
James smiled as he heard Vlad\'s voice echoing in his mind and then let the praise from his ancestor make his heart skip a beat.
"I\'m full of pride too, little one, Emily too, well done, you\'ve done very well," Abby said and with that, she added, "We can start your lesson now," and James\' energy instantly collapsed.
"Do we have to do this now? It\'s already cold..."
As James made his excuse, his ancestor saw Abby\'s spirit emerge from the ring and saw the smiling face of the red-haired woman.
Abby smiled as she looked gently at James and then said these words that made James smile with excitement:
"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, but the second best time to plant the same tree is now. Remember that, James."
When Abby had finished, James nodded his head up and down with an excited smile on his face and then asked, "Well then, what am I going to learn?"
Abby prepared to speak and began to speak. James was going to stay in the mines for a long time and take as much material as he and the dwarves could back to the village.
As time began to tick by, everything began to change.
In the blink of an eye, almost a week had passed and James and the dwarves had finally made it back to the village.
They had managed to extract over 20,000 tonnes of ore in almost half a day\'s work, and in one week James had added almost half a million tonnes of ore to his inventory.
Everything necessary to protect the village was ready. The structures and tasks of the walls had already been drawn by elf and dwarf engineers and the areas had already been marked.
James took some time to rest after returning to the village and after leaving 5% of the mines where necessary, he went to clean the marked areas.
Even though everyone, including Ariel, told him that he should rest, he still chose not to leave today\'s work for tomorrow and aimed to finish his work at full speed despite all the rumours.
Knowing that the village was going to grow in the future, James had argued that there had to be an area almost as big as the imperial palace, and that was precisely why such a huge amount of ore had to be mined.
In short, James would have to devote many hours to a clean-up and would have to help everyone with all his strength to build that area.
The power level of the demi-demons was excellent. With his power status, James was able to carry thirty tonnes of ore with difficulty, but the half-demons were not even sweating, let alone struggling to carry a hundred or two hundred tonnes of ore.
This was an incredible event.
