Chapter 107: Finding the Thorin’s wealth.
In the meantime, outside the city, prime minister Windrider, his closest men, three sons and Emmah had found the site of the luminite mine, the same one whose location Sigrid had shared with the emperor.
According to the new plot of the novel, a doctor that was treating Emmah by chance happened to have a crystal from the mine, he thought it was useless but Emmah had a feeling that it was special and she took it from him.
At the moment, she had no connection to the Ye family but she had a greater impression of the prime minister, he had spoken up for her many times in the royal court. His son Lysander had sent her flowers, hoping that she got well soon and expressed a desire to call on her whenever the opportunity was presented. So, after she was removed from the Vale, she visited the mage estate and spoke to a mage who identified the crystal.
Emmah was not without resources, she had made more than a few connections in the orphanage. She had handed out a few scraps here and there, acting like a savior so many of the children worshiped and run errands for her like her personal servants.
Even better was that a few of the older boys had crushes on her. They were willing to do anything for her so she one that was a knight to look for the luminite mine following information which the doctor provided.
Armed with a map and crystal in addition to her special mage constitution and the so called mysterious divine voice in her mind, she led the prime minister by the nose, bringing him to the mine.
When they arrived in Duck village where the mine sat, unfortunately it was already occupied. Prime minister Windrider, a man of great ambition could not have been more displeased to witness this.
The air was noisy with the rhythmic clanging of mining axes, piles of glistening raw crystals were stacked carelessly on the ground. The prime minister’s eyes glistened with greed as he took in the thousands of crystals being unearthed.
If they were as special as Emmah had said, this one mine could elevate his status, turning him into the richest man in Eldoria. He could be dozens of times richer than the entire royal family together, with wealth and power, he could control the king as he desired.
