"Thinking about Lassen's Hellfire Cauldron, maybe there is a better chance of finding spirit stones where there are geological veins running through the area?"

"Earth veins. We can look for the flow of magic power in the ground. If the earth veins are connected to the place where the Atmosphere was located as mentioned by Mr. Barca, there is a possibility that we can obtain a magical stone called a spirit stone even if it is far away from the place.

　After much discussion, we decided to use the geological veins as an indicator for our search.

　I don't really understand the flow of magic power in the ground, but apparently Lassen does.

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

　Rather, I heard that he has come to understand the flow of magic power in the ground because of [Lassen's Hellfire Cauldron].

　Until now, he had not been able to understand that much.

　Maybe such an intense experience made him grow up.

"The flow of magic... I don't know the veins of it, but you might want to visit the secret place of ascetic practices.

"A secret place of ascetic practice?　Ian, what is it?"

To become a warrior of Atmos, one must undergo a training from childhood that is death-defying. Finally, he will come of age in a duel before the great stone in which the spirit of the earth dwells. But one of them usually loses his life in the battle. Not only did they train like everyone else, but some of them trained in hidden places before the duel.

"Well, I remember when we fought in front of the Atmosphere and went from children to adults. I see. So everyone was training in secret.

"That's what I mean. You have to train yourself to become as strong as possible. And the place where you train is important. It was said that the place you train depends on whether you can become strong or not."

"...... I see. The village of Atmos was a place with a lot of magic power due to the labyrinth core, the Atmosphere. But there are different amounts of magic in different places in Atmos. And the more the amount of magic in a place, the more likely it is to become stronger in secret training. This means that there is more magical power there than at other places, which means that there is a possibility that the Atmosphere is connected to the earth's veins.

"Like I said, I don't know. But if you're going to walk around without anything to look for these veins, you might as well check out the secret training place I used to go to."

"Great. Then let's go there. Lead the way, Ian.

　The secret training site mentioned by Ian does not seem to be a place where many spirit stones have fallen.

　However, it is said to have been a place where children had secretly been told that it was a place where they could easily become strong.

　Ian had trained there and tried to find his own way to attack.

　Ian leads us to the secret training place.

　We made our way through the terrain surrounded by very high cliffs, winding our way around.

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

　On the way, we saw some old mining sites.

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

　Apparently, they were digging holes in the ground here and there.

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

　Curious, Lassen took a look at the digging site once, and lightly examined it with his magic power.

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

　It seems that they were digging quite deep.

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

　From this fact, we can understand that they must have been mining on such a large scale that the village of Atmos is said to have dried up in the last few years.

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

　They must have brought a lot of people to dig holes.

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

　If it has been mined so much that now there are only a few guards, the Brillian Magus must have put a lot of effort into it.

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

　Though it may also mean that the amount of spirit stones was so limited that they would run out in a few years.

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

　I wonder how much they were able to mine?

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

　Depending on the number of such weapons, there are far more magic weapons now than there were then, which could have devastated people like Ian with his overwhelming strength.

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

　It is quite dangerous to think so again.

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

　Even if the Briaria Magus Nation marches its armies with these magical weapons, it will cause a considerable amount of damage.

　In that light, the marriage proposal may be more important than we think.

　If we connect with the nobles of Brillia, and if they lose in the factional war, they may send their magical weapons to our house as it is.

　I hope Charles-sama will do his best to be on the victor's side or at least try not to lose.

"Here we are! This is where I trained.

　A little further down the road.

　A hall-like place beyond a series of high walls.

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

　It seems to be a secret place for ascetic practices.

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

　Indeed, I thought that I could train in secret here without being seen by anyone since the place is surrounded by trees.

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

　However, it did not seem to me that the magical power of this place was high.

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

　At least, I don't know.

　But Russen was surprised when he brushed off the snow, put his hands on the ground, and let the magic flow through him.

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

"This is amazing, this is amazing. I can feel the flow of the magic power, even though it is very deep under the ground. ...... well, it feels like the magic is flowing from the other side.

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

　Ian, who looked in the direction Lassen pointed, replies.

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

"That direction is where the great stone where the spirit of the earth once dwelled was. So the magic power came from this place of ascetic practice.

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

"Heh. I see. I mean, the Atmosphere is gone, but is there still magic flowing through it, Mister Lassen?

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

"Yes. However, I think that the amount of magic power flowing in the past was much greater. Maybe the magic flowed even close to the surface of the earth. But now I can feel the magic only in the deepest part of the earth.

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

"Oh, well. So, is the treasure likely to be there?"

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

"......Yes. I feel the presence of a magic stone. Perhaps this is the spirit stone. I found it, Master Barca.

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

　We did it.

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

　Ian and Lassen did a great job as soon as they arrived.

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

　We set up a tent to rest for the time being and started digging the next day.
