I raise elves in Florian

"A hot spring? It sounds quite appealing to be able to take a hot bath."

The mention of hot springs gets Philon excited; after all, who wouldn't want to soak in a hot bath when they're most tired?

"really."

Frillie nodded in agreement; it had been a long time since she had gone to a hot spring with Shi Yichen.

"Something seems off about the road ahead."

Shi Yichen looked at the road ahead; it seemed like there was nothing underneath.

"Huh... could it be that the ground ahead... wait a minute..."

"Boom!"

Before Frilian could finish speaking, the ground in front of them collapsed, and Philon and Shutark fell down without noticing. Shi Yichen and Frilian followed suit.

"Sure enough, the ground beneath this layer is hollow. The foundation of the wetland is so unstable!"

Looking at the scene, Frillie said speechlessly, "As expected, something bad still happened. I shouldn't have said that."

"Huh!!!"

"Lord Frilian!"

Philon, who used flight magic, suddenly couldn't use magic anymore, and below him was nothing but sealed magic mines.

"Oh no, we might be in trouble."

"Frilian sighed and said."

"It's alright, go down and see what's going on."

Shi Yichen caught Frilian and Philen in mid-air and pulled them into his arms. As for Shutark, he wouldn't die from the fall at that height; warriors are tough as nails.

"Oh!"

Shutark landed smoothly with a thud.

"call out!"

Shi Yichen, holding Frilian and Philon, also stood on the ground.

"Wow~"

Shi Yichen exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the entire cave filled with sealed demon ore, because there was so much of it, more than she had seen in the past thousand years.

"No wonder we can find demon-sealing ore on the ground. This is the first time I've ever seen such a large deposit."

Frilian stroked the demon-sealing stone on the wall and said calmly, because Shi Yichen was there, Frilian was not afraid of any problems.

"Almost the entire cave is filled with demon-sealing ore..."

Philon stared in shock at the cave full of sealed ore.

"If I could bring these back with me, I could become a billionaire."

"Looking at the cave full of sealed magic ore," said Hughtark.

"However, that is impossible. Among all materials, the Demon Sealing Ore is the hardest and, unlike other materials, cannot be cut or processed using magic. It is something that humans cannot utilize."

Frilian shook her head, rejecting Hugh Tarek's idea. Although this thing was very valuable, the magic-sealing ore was the natural enemy of mages. One second you got the money, and the next second someone would use the magic-sealing ore to seal your magic, turning you into a lamb to the slaughter.

"I'll take it back and study it."

As she spoke, Shi Yichen began collecting the demon-sealing ore from the cave. The fact that it couldn't be processed was only true for others; for her, processing the demon-sealing ore was a piece of cake. With a little modification, it could become a powerful weapon.

Moreover, this kind of thing is a huge hidden danger to the Continental Magic Association, because everyone in the Continental Magic Association is a mage. If someone with malicious intent were to use magic ore against them, the Continental Magic Association would probably suffer heavy losses.

"I'd better send a message to Celie and the teacher first."

Shi Yichen summoned a bluebird, placed the Demon Sealing Stone and the letter in the bluebird's pocket, and then released it.

"That's about enough, let's go inside and take a look."

Seeing that they had collected enough of the sealed demon ore, Shi Yichen spoke to Frilian and Philon.

"That's all we can do. There are magic-sealing ores everywhere, so we can't use magic at all."

The group of four walked into the cave.

Along the way, there were only Demon-Sealing Ore and many animal skeletons.

"This place must not fall into the hands of others. If it gets into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it will be disastrous. Seal this place up before we leave."

Looking at the demon-sealing ore scattered everywhere, Shi Yichen said, "I wonder if the demon-sealing ore will work on Seria and my teacher. After all, they are both magicians. It seems we need to prepare a countermeasure in advance."

"I'm tired from walking, let me rest for a bit."

As she spoke, Frillie sat down straight on the ground.

"That's all we can do. It's probably getting dark outside."

Shi Yichen waved his hand and laid three mattresses on the ground. Frilian quickly lay down on them. She could clearly distinguish between the hard ground and the soft mattress.

"I never expected to do something like camping in a place like this."

Shutark also sat down on the mattress and began to rest.

"It's incredibly spacious! And there are a lot of animal skeletons here. Lady Frilian said this might be the lair of a large monster."

Philon's basket was empty in the cave. She decided to rest in a place filled with sealed magic ore. She felt unsafe and was afraid that a monster might suddenly appear.

"She's asleep."

Hugh Tarek stared speechlessly at Frillie, who was fast asleep on the mattress.

"How can you sleep so soundly?"

Philon looked helplessly at Frilian, who was fast asleep. It was unbelievable that she could sleep so soundly in such a dangerous place.

"How carefree!"

Hugh Tarek couldn't help but sigh.

"Looks like he's exhausted."

Shi Yichen looked tenderly at the fast-sleeping Freylian, reached out and gently smoothed Freylian's hair, then covered her with the blanket.

"Even in a place like this, Lady Frillian looks happy, which terrifies me so much that I can't even use my magic perception."

This is the first time I've ever experienced anything like this since I was born; it's like being plunged into darkness.

Philen hugged her legs tightly, a feeling that made her very uneasy.

Seeing Philen's appearance, Shi Yichen gave Shutark a look.

"what?"

Shutark looked at Shi Yichen, puzzled.

"Like this! Like this!"

Shi Yichen frantically gave Xiutark his eyes, signaling Xiutark to hug Philen.

"Oh!"

Shutark reached out and gently placed his hand on Philon's shoulder.

"Oh!"

Just as Shutark was about to embrace Philen, a monster emerged from underground.

"Lady Frillien, it's a monster!"

Philon called out to Frilian.

"Frilian! Get up quickly."

Shutark also called out to the fast-sleeping Frillie.

"Noisy!"

Shi Yichen glared fiercely at the monster that emerged from the ground. The opportunity he had worked so hard to create had been ruined by this monster.

"Pfft!"

With just one strike, Shi Yichen cleaved the demon into countless pieces, scattering them all over the ground.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Frillie opened her eyes and looked at the body parts scattered on the ground.
