Chapter 107: Fighting to Avoid Being Written Off
Of course, Leon was just curious. He would never actually start gnawing on a Cave Carrot.
The earthy smell was far too strong, and the surface didn’t look all that clean. He wasn’t desperate enough to eat whatever he could find. If he needed stamina, then the bread he had paid for would have gone to waste.
Putting the Cave Carrot away, Leon kept digging. With both Cave Carrots and Clay already found, he couldn’t help wondering what other hidden treasures might be lurking under the untouched patches of sandy soil.
But it seemed the sand here didn’t hold much. After digging up more than ten spots, he finally found his third item.
It was a helmet shaped much like his cooking pot, though clearly too small for an adult. It looked about right for a child, yet it was heavy in his hands. Knocking on it rang with a metallic chime.
“Dwarf Helmet (Artifact): This helmet was commonly worn by dwarves. Its thick metal plating protected them from falling rocks.”
“Huh? An artifact? But I don’t see any Ancient Spots. Is it because I’m in the mines?”
Leon wasn’t surprised to find an artifact buried in the mine’s soil. What surprised him was the lack of Ancient Spots. He had assumed that even in the mines, his special ability—The Ancient Mystery—would show him Ancient Spots, letting him skip random digging and go straight to buried treasures.
Now, though, it seemed that ability didn’t work underground. That was the mines showing him their full malice.
