Chapter 246

Lin Mo went to take a few shiny ores nearby, which made Yelan stunned, and she looked over subconsciously.

She saw Lin Mo picking up a few shiny ores.

That mineral was different from ordinary ores; it was shiny and very good-looking, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary ore.

"This ore."

Looking at this ore, Yelan fell into deep thought: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of mineral."

She was also someone who had seen many ores, but this was the first time she had seen this kind of ore.

"It's the kind with very good quality; it looks like it contains a faint light, and the color is like the line between the sea and the sky at dusk."

Lin Mo groped the ore in his hand and thought: "It should be the Old Stone here in The Chasm."

"Old Stone?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan instantly thought of something and pondered: "Is it the kind of stone that the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs?"

Although she hadn't seen it, she knew that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was acquiring a stone called Old Stone.

But the problem was, how did Lin Mo know about this kind of stone, and even know the name of this stone?

She only knew about it from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Mm, Old Stone."

Lin Mo nodded and said: "This is a rare mineral that rarely appears even in the mining area; it is a magnificent gem that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"Yes, it is a rare ore mined from The Chasm."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yelan nodded and said: "This kind of stone only exists in extremely ancient mountain ranges. Perhaps because it is too rare, many merchants haven't even heard of it. Because of the mutation under The Chasm, many Old Stones of lower quality appeared, which gave the ore merchants of the Ministry of Civil Affairs quite a headache."

"Let's go, let's go back first."

As she spoke, Yelan looked at Qi Nan: "Now that the doll has been found, it's time to go back with us, right?"

"Mm."

Hearing Yelan's words, Qi Nan nodded.

Immediately, the three walked toward the camp outside.

However, as they walked, Qi Nan suddenly disappeared, disappearing silently.

However, after Lin Mo and Yelan discovered it, they were not surprised, but looked at each other and left here.

When they returned to the camp, they found that Qi Ding was not in the camp.

"Lady Yelan."

Seeing Yelan and Lin Mo walking over, a Millelith immediately greeted them respectfully and said: "Qi Ding has already been sent to the top by us, and his condition is much better."

"Mm, good."

Hearing this, Yelan nodded: "We should go up too."

As she spoke, she walked outside with Lin Mo.

Soon, they arrived at the top of The Chasm.

They saw that on top of The Chasm, Qi Ding was surrounded by a group of people.

"I said Qi Ding, the terrain of The Chasm is complex, and the deeper you go, the more gloomy the atmosphere becomes. You are usually a very reliable and steady person, so why did you go into the devil's way and go inside to find something?"

"That's right, if it weren't for the two lords going down, you wouldn't necessarily have been able to come back."

"It seems that staying in the mine for a long time has made your emotions fragile."

One person after another surrounded Qi Ding and discussed, while Qi Ding scratched his head.

Seeing this, the people gradually dispersed.

Especially after seeing Lin Mo and Yelan return, they didn't gather again.

"Qi Ding."

At this moment, Yelan had already walked in front of Qi Ding.

"Lady Yelan."

Seeing Yelan and Lin Mo walking over, Qi Ding was stunned and hurriedly said: "Do you have anything to instruct me?"

Yelan: "????"

Hearing Qi Ding's words, Yelan frowned immediately: "Did you forget? You said you lost a doll. While I went down to clear that path, I also found it for you, and I also found a box of damp gunpowder. Can you explain the detailed situation of that box of gunpowder to me?"

"Ah?"

Hearing Yelan's words, Qi Ding scratched his head in confusion: "Lady Yelan, I am really sorry. I was influenced by something under The Chasm before, and my head was dizzy. It was only when I got to the top that I became a little clearer."

"But when you mentioned gunpowder, I remembered. I did intend to take that gunpowder... to blow up that 'Wishing Stone'."

"Wishing Stone?"

Yelan was interested: "Tell me in detail."

"When the mine was sealed back then, several brothers went down to the mine and said that a Wishing Stone was dug out in the mine, saying that as long as you are around the Wishing Stone, any wish can be granted."

Qi Ding recalled: "I remember it was a very large stone, suspended between several huge rocks, and it was emitting a faint light."

"Eh."

Hearing this, Yelan fell into deep thought.

What Qi Ding said, wasn't it the huge crystal that she and Lin Mo had seen before?

The thing that was suspended.

Lin Mo was also thoughtful.

"My brothers back then were all driven mentally insane by that Wishing Stone, and the Qixing had to seal the mine. As a result... as a result, the work was delayed for several years."

"When I went down to the mine back then, I also encountered that stone. If that stone was making trouble, and this side was sealed again, wouldn't there be no work... If there is no work, I can only go to the port to do odd jobs, and I can't earn any Mora."

"So I decided to take the dynamite and blow up that stone."

At this moment, Qi Ding scratched his head and said: "But after I went down and got close, the closer I got to that stone, the more my head hurt, and my head became chaotic, and in the end, I was carried up."

"Then yesterday, Lord Mu Ning said it was unsealed again, and all miners could go down to the mine, so I thought about going to that place to see again, but when I walked to a certain place, I suddenly forgot."

"When I came back to my senses, I found that I had returned to the top."

"Sounds a bit complicated."

Hearing Qi Ding's words, Yelan pondered: "It seems that there are still missing crystals, and I have to seriously explore the remote paths next."

What Qi Ding said didn't seem to be the same crystal she had seen before.

Regarding Yelan's words, Lin Mo nodded.

The Chasm currently seems to have many hidden dangers that need to be solved.

"By the way, this is your doll."

The next second, Yelan handed the tattered doll to Qi Ding.

"This doll!?"

Seeing the doll in Yelan's hand, Qi Ding was shocked and subconsciously took it: "Where did you find it?"

As he spoke, Qi Ding fell into memories: "This is too strange. This doll was bought by me from the Feiyun Commerce Guild before. At that time, it cost quite a bit of money to buy such a doll."

"It was a gift for my daughter, but later my daughter didn't play with this doll anymore, and I couldn't bear to throw it away, so I carried it with me as an amulet."

"A few years ago, when the mine was sealed and we evacuated in an emergency, I didn't know where I dropped it."

Hearing Qi Ding's words, Yelan immediately explained Qi Ding's situation simply, including finding Qi Ding and Qi Ding wanting to find the doll like he was possessed.

"Thank you so much."

After listening to Yelan, Qi Ding's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly bowed to Yelan and thanked her.

After thanking her repeatedly, Qi Ding sighed: "Sigh, I originally thought that since my body is still strong, I would earn money for another two years. Now it seems that this place, The Chasm, is more dangerous than I thought."

"I don't dare to go down to the mine anymore. No, I have to find Mu Ning; I have to leave here."

"We will speed up the clearing of The Chasm in the next few days."

Hearing Qi Ding's words, Yelan was silent for a while and nodded: "Also, is your daughter Qi Nan? Has she ever been to The Chasm?"

Thinking of the Qi Nan she met just now, Yelan pondered for a while and finally spoke.

"Yes, Qi Nan."

Hearing Yelan's words, Qi Ding was stunned and hurriedly nodded: "Qi Nan lives in Liyue and is busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs every day. It is impossible for her to come here to The Chasm, and she has never been here."

"Now Qi Nan has grown up, and I should go back to accompany her."

"Understood."

Hearing Qi Ding's words, Yelan was thoughtful.

Immediately, Qi Ding said goodbye to Yelan and went to find Mu Ning.

Immediately after, Qi Ding bid farewell to Yelan and went to find Mu Ning.
