　Gulp.

　I thought I heard that sound coming from Lassen's throat next to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's a little freaked out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A figure crawls out of Lassen's cauldron of hellfire and heads toward us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The figure appears to sway, perhaps due to the flames around it, or perhaps because it is on fire.

　Looking around a little more, some of the other workers in the room are also giving off a "hell-raiser from the cauldron of hell" vibe.

"Are you all right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Somehow, yeah. But I'm drained. I've lost a lot of strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in contrast to the frightened people around me, I remained calm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because I know what he is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because he's made of my blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because it's still burning inside Lassen's cauldron. The flames must have caused the blood to evaporate. But from the looks of it, I guess we know a little bit about what's going on inside."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. But inside, as you can see from the outside, there is a big hole in the ground, and the inside of the hole is still burning all the time. But maybe this is the cause. This is the source of the fire."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why the magic sword Norn came out of the big hole in the ground is only because I sent it there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In short, I sent him out to scout.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The quickest way to check out the cauldron that has been burning unquenchably for ten days was for someone to go there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is too hard for a human to go there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't go there myself, and there was no hope of success in getting someone else to go there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's where Norn came in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sent a fresh-blooded soldier in armor, materialized by my blood in a magic stone, to check on the Hellfire Cauldron.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the Norn returned safely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Though his heavy armor had changed by the time he came back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that his blood armor had burned and evaporated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But instead of evaporating, it seems that he was able to bring back the information without burning the magic stone inside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn, the fresh-blooded soldier with a rounded appearance as if his armor had melted and become sore, handed me the object in his hand.

"What is this?　It doesn't look like stone, does it?　It doesn't look like iron either, so what is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Try to channel some magic into it. It'll be interesting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Magic?　Like this ......,whoa. Fire, fire, fire!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Looks like it's all over that hole. And it's emitting flames as if it's reacting to the magic that's leaking from deep in the ground. Even if we put a lid on the hole, the fire will probably not be extinguished as long as the magic power flows through it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I passed the magic power through the object Norn handed me, flames appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let go of it and drop it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The flame continued to emit even after I dropped it, but it disappeared after a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the flame didn't appear for a long time because the magic power I had put into it was too small.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I mean, could this be ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a flame ore. I see. Fox Valley, known as a place where flame ore is mined, is also filled with poison. Maybe there's a connection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I picked up the extinguished piece and showed it to Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately, Ai told me what the substance was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, it was flame ore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I believe it is a mysterious ore that can only be found in the Fox Valley in Baito's territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The flame ore, which produces flames when enchanted, is found only in the Fox Valley where the fault line is located.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if this Fox Valley used to have fire breathing out of the ground in the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I don't think I have ever heard of any eruption of the mountain there now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I checked with Ai about it, and he said that there was no eruption.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if something similar had happened there long ago, so long ago that it was not recorded in any records.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This means that the poison that occurred near the cauldron might have been there for many years.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So far, we don't know what is causing this poison at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Poison or not, as long as we have [Disable Poison], we'll be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's more important is the flame ore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought I would be able to get such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I just thought we might be able to get a large amount of oil, but this is an unexpected find.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, this is a great find, Norn. Go get more of this flammable ore."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's good, but if you go into that fire, you'll lose blood again. We can't go back and forth so many times."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. I guess we can't go out and get as many as we want. I can't help it. Just go get as many as you can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Flame ore, which produces flames in response to magic power, should be a material for making magic swords and other items.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I told Norn that there was nothing better and asked him to get more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not so easy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, I had consumed more blood than I had expected, and I couldn't bring back such a large amount.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, I wondered if Lassen would be able to get the flame ore out of the cauldron by channeling his magic power into the ground, but it seems that he was not able to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not a complete recovery of the treasures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is significant that we were able to obtain a small number of flame ores.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, as long as I collect more blood, I can send Norn to get them again in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, this is how I obtained the flame ore.
