Chapter 102
With a thunderous roar, the mine collapsed, and Earl Eir stared in disbelief. The magic stone mine, once within his grasp, vanished like a mirage.
“My, my magic stone mine...!”
At that moment, Jin and Yan emerged from the tunnel, limping awkwardly. Earl Eir rushed towards them, his face a mask of urgency. The knights, silent sentinels until now, encircled the pair.
Yan clicked his tongue in annoyance. “As expected, they won’t let us go without a fuss.”
He glanced at Jin, disguised as a clumsy low-level mercenary. Before exiting the tunnel, Yan had given him an order.
“Once we’re out, Earl Eir will be waiting, eyes ablaze. Handle it, and soon, I’ll show you a truth you’re unaware of.”
“...Understood.”
Yan was curious how Jin would resolve this situation. Earl Eir, upon seeing Jin and Yan, shouted, “What in the world happened inside?”
Jin, feigning ignorance, looked around at the encircling knights. “Well, that is... I mean. Ah! There was a fight among those inside, and they disturbed a weak spot in the mine, causing it to collapse.”
“What?”
“I really know nothing else, my lord. I was just lucky to escape being buried there.”
