Chapter 216: -24- Master, your offerings have arrived

Black Dragon?

Sebastian and Luf both paused, taken aback.

For among all the giant dragons, the reputation of the Black Dragon had never been good.

This chaotic and dark dragon species had always been synonymous with evil and betrayal, possessing a strong desire to dominate other intelligent creatures. Unless they encountered a being stronger than themselves, it was nearly impossible for them to interact with ordinary intelligent creatures on an equal footing.

"You mean to say, in the mine there lives a Black Dragon, the most brutal and ferocious of all dragon species, and this dragon... has actually become friends with a miner?"

Sebastian’s face showed a peculiar expression as he couldn’t help but comment.

"It’s true, I’m not lying to you; my brother said it really is a Black Dragon!"

Seeing the skepticism on their faces, Noah insisted.

Werewolf Luf shook his head and said,

"Young Noah, you are too young."

"When I was younger, I had the fortune to see a Black Dragon once in the Black Land of Eastern Yonette. Such a creature... arrogant, powerful, evil, mad... far beyond your imagination. In just a moment, it destroyed a city built by mercenaries, simply because they refused to submit to it..."

"The so-called Black Dragon is only what your brother claims, maybe... he might have been mistaken, and not to mention, how do you explain the missing miners?"

As Luf recalled the past, an expression of awe appeared on his face, clearly somewhat scared by his past encounter.

However, Sebastian suddenly changed the topic,

"But, if everything is truly as he described, it seems that there might indeed be some monster hiding in the mine, perhaps not a Black Dragon, but possibly... a Dragon Descendant."

With that, he looked at Charlotte with a respectful tone that was imperceptible to a young werewolf and asked,

"Resa... what do you think?"

Charlotte glanced towards the depths of the mine and said,

"It doesn’t matter what it is, we’ll see once we go inside."

Saying this, she touched her chin interestedly, her face eager to explore,

"If there really is a Dragon Descendant, I hope it really is a Black Dragon."

Hearing Charlotte’s recklessly bold words, Luf was taken aback, speechless.

Sebastian, however, brightened up, bowed respectfully, and looked at Charlotte with admiration.

Indeed...

For the great Dark Night Lady, for the returning Blood True Ancestor, perhaps only a legendary terrifying creature like the Black Dragon is worthy of Her attention!

"Let’s go and take a look at the depths of the mine."

Charlotte said.

She lifted her head to look toward the depths of the cave, her gaze growing more profound.

Indeed, she was interested in the legendary Black Dragon.

However, she was more interested in the role the Castel nobles played in this affair.

The appearance of a monster resembling a Black Dragon in the mine was something the nobles should not conceal by declaring the Secret Silver Mine exhausted.

There must be something in the depths of the mine that cannot be exposed to the light.

The nobles in the know were definitely hiding something.

With that thought, Charlotte took steps toward the depths of the mine.

Sebastian and Luf quickly followed and picked up the oil lamps that old werewolf Logan had given them for illumination in the mine.

"Wait! I want to come too! I know the way to the Secret Silver Mine area!"

Young werewolf Noah patted his buttocks and hurriedly followed.

Sebastian glanced at Charlotte, and Charlotte nodded slightly, tacitly approving Noah’s involvement.

The information was given by Noah, he was involved, and besides, he knew the way.

As for the danger... Charlotte was confident in their safe evacuation.

Of course, whether to preserve the young werewolf’s memory was another matter.

Sheltering Charlotte intentionally or unintentionally, the group soon entered the depths of the mine.

The mine tunnels in the depths were more intricate, branching in all directions – some obviously unfinished, others looking long neglected and seeming at risk of collapse at any moment.

Soon, the group stopped at a fork in the tunnel.

"Grandfather Logan and the others should have gone deeper into that tunnel; it still has some scattered Secret Silver, and it’s currently the main target of the workshop’s mining efforts."

Noah pointed to the left tunnel and said.

Having finished, he pointed to the right:

"This here... is the tunnel leading to the restricted area, where the Secret Silver Vein lies."

Charlotte and Sebastian looked at each other and subtly nodded.

"Let’s go in."

Entering the right tunnel, the temperature around them noticeably decreased, but Charlotte noticed that the magic power in the air began to thicken.

Secret Silver was a precious magical material, possessing the properties of magic superconductivity and magic storage, so it was normal for areas with Secret Silver to have dense magic power.

After navigating the winding tunnel for about ten more minutes, Charlotte and her companions finally reached the end.

The end of the tunnel was a cave that had probably been an abandoned ore transfer center, where the underground railway for transporting ore ended.

Inside the cave, there was an entrance sealed with chains, with a sign hanging saying "No Entry," looking quite sinister under the flickering light of the oil lamps.

"There lies the entrance to the Secret Silver Mine, completely sealed off with Magic Prohibition chains, and nobody can enter."

Noah sneezed and said.

By now, the surrounding temperature had dropped significantly.

Charlotte and the others, being tier-entering Transcendents, felt no discomfort, but for the young werewolf, it was shivering cold.
