Chapter 69: Black Coal Ball
To incorporate Highmount Fortress was not just about incorporating Highmount Fortress.
It was similar to reclaiming Stone Town, which included not only Stone Town itself but also the surrounding areas.
Similarly, incorporating Highmount Fortress would also bring with it the attached regions.
Romon took the opportunity to open the Simulator Blueprint for a quick look.
The map of Highmount Fortress resembled a breast, with the fortress situated at the highest point.
In the northwest corner, there was an open-pit mine, which didn’t even need a marker to identify it, as it clearly resembled a pile of ore.
Zooming in for a closer look, it was evident that it was a coal mine.
Coal in this world was far less useful and valuable than Magic Crystal, but some people had managed to become wealthy through the accumulation of such seemingly insignificant items.
After entering the Highmount Fortress town hall, Romon said to Mangton, "Mangton, bring me the accounts of the coal mine."
Hearing this, Mangton’s face showed hesitation, but he quickly found the accounts.
As he handed over the documents, he explained, "My Lord, for the past few months, the coal mine has been on fire, and we can’t extinguish it. This has severely affected the production."
