"This spar is used to find 'minerals'. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" replied the girl, "mainly to explore the 'gems' in it. ”

"Minerals, gems?" Dreamdream scratched her head, "Are you looking for these things?"

"Yes, I am an 'explorer' with an interest in exploring 'gem' mines on the floating continent. It's just a personal interest, but I've got it as an 'explorer'. The girl replied.

"'Explorer?' what is that?" asked Dream, confused.

Beneath the surface of the floating continent of Alfrey, there are many minerals buried. These minerals are basically unique to the floating continent, and because they are soaked in magic, they have many magical effects. Minerals are divided into two main groups, one is "ore" and the other is "gemstone". The ore reserves are huge, and once the veins can be discovered, they can be mined in large quantities, from which magical metals with excellent properties can be extracted, and the floating continent can sell them to the Nether at a high price, and the other type is gems. There are many kinds of gemstones, but they are few in number, they have excellent magical properties, and they are many colors, delicate forms, and extremely beautiful, and they are more often used as accessories than for magical research. These gems are quite expensive luxury even on the floating continent, not to mention on the surface, and the price of many gems is more expensive than a dream crystal, and only a few wealthy merchants can afford to buy them.

Explorers, on the other hand, are the people on the floating continent who are specifically responsible for searching for ores or gems. They are all magicians with extraordinary perception, and can roughly perceive the ore underground. The royal family will hire these people as royal explorers to help the royal family explore the minerals on the floating continent, and give them help and remuneration - of course, the ore and gems mined will be handed over to the royal family. If you explore it because of your hobby, you won't get help, but you can keep the ores and gems for yourself. Due to the difficulty of mining, few people can successfully mine, so most of the "explorers" choose to serve the royal family, and there are very few people who mine themselves.

The purple-haired girl probably gave a brief introduction to Dream, and Dream nodded.

"However, there are still some things that I don't understand very well. I would venture to ask, why did you want to open the Phantom Array?" asked Phantom Dream with a frown.

She knew it wasn't a good idea for her to ask that, but opening this level of phantom array here made it feel like she was secretly doing something.

"In the process of mining, I don't want other people to find out. The purple-haired girl smiled and said, "After the gems are mined, I will restore this place to its original state." If you don't open the Phantom Circle, the noise during mining will affect the others, and there are some people here who have to be wary of. ”

Dream knows that those who have to be wary of are the surface people. If they knew about the gems, they wouldn't have to do things like stealing.

Gemstones are not detectable in floating harbors like Dream Crystals, and because they are extremely valuable, it is not excluded that people on the surface may secretly take them to the surface. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when it comes to gemstone mining.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, but I was presumptuous. Dream bowed again and apologized.
