Hume tightened his voice.

"In my dream, I was told where the black orb is."

"Where is the black orb?"

Lucion asked, his expression turning serious.

"In the East."

"If only they could tell me where in the East.......

Lucion felt a twinge of regret.

If it was simply a coincidence that he had met Brachion Myronst, the first prince of the Myronst Kingdom, the other day, how was he going to find the next black orb?

"'Where you go,' he said, 'there will be what you want.'"

Hume hastened to add.

Lucion's eyes widened and he repeated.

"He really said that?"

"Yes."

"Good work, Hume."

Lucion smiled at Hume, and Hume's expression brightened.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you more."

"No. You figured out where the Black Orb is, and you said it would be where we're going, so that's good enough for me."

For Lucion's sake, why be impatient when he could get the Black Orb as soon as possible?

Hume was touched by Lucion's soothing words.

"Then, I'll go get some food."

-Lata will go too. Don't get sick, Lucion.

Latta wagged her tail and front paws and smiled bashfully.

Hume turned away and looked at Lucion with a brief thought.

"...The shape that informs me."

"What?"

"...No, I have to go."

Hume shook his head at Lucion's words.

'He seem to resemble the Master.......'

Hume's eyes darted from side to side as he walked forward.

The next day.

It was supposed to be a day away from the central to the eastern part of the country, but due to Heint's extreme dryness, they were forced to stay in the central part of the country.

<...Are you there?>

Lucion froze at Miella's urgent call.

What the hell had she heard?

"I heard you, so......."

<Okay. I'll say it again, I got in touch with Mr. Zamad and he said it was easy enough, so I got the samples the next day.>

Hard to make a sword, easy to make something to protect a gemstone when it traps light.

Lucion couldn't understand the artisan world.

<I was so excited that I spent another few nights working on the development that I had stopped. That ore that Mr. Zamad made for me is to die for, and I have Hamel to thank for the wonderful ore!>

Miella paused in mid-sentence.

She wasn't surprised to hear that the mine was up and running, as she'd been told by Krahn.

But whatever, Lucion was happy, and she couldn't wait to hear what he had to say next.

<Ah. Anyway, I broke a bunch of magic stones, I broke a bunch of samples, but at the end... really at the end, I succeeded in leaving only regenerative power behind!>
