Chapter 612: Rare Treasure

"Sir hero, We have been able to repel any slimes that have come near the processing facility. They appear to be less aggressive." The royal guard saw The group as soon as they came in to view of the processing area. The golems that had been patrolling also appeared to be expanding their patrol range. 

"That's because we dealt with the pain that was making them that way. Head on up and report to your superior that I am coming to the high forge. I want that surface dweller there as soon as possible. We three are having a meeting. And if they dare say that we can't tell them that it is my authority as king of the deep caves." 

The king of the deep caves spoke as if he were ordering the movement of an army. The royal guard stood taller and did not dare say anything other than yes before rushing away toward the passageway to the merchant district.  "That's the first time I have ever called a meeting. It is always that king in the middle there. He thinks he is way more important than anything else." 

"Why the meeting? Don't you need to be here to repair the processing facilities and continue taking back mines?" Remey was interested in what would push the hard headed king to do something it was clear he didn't like. 

"Your party has an alliance you want us all to join right? And something about mending ways with those stingy elves? I also have to make sure I show my face after those golems were sent here. They are already moving off to take down more slimes. Do you think any of us told them to do that? It was an order from the middle king." 

Walker could tell the king of the deep caves was not the most excited to head upwards since he enjoyed the mines. However, it was kind of him to think of them and the things they needed after helping them. "Thank you. I remember hearing that you three rarely had meetings and it is an honor that you would make an exception for us." 

"No exception, just good reason." The king walked away on to the processing area where a lot of clanking and banging was being made. 

"Huh, so we dealt with that crazy thing and now we are right back in to something else. I wonder if dwarves sleep." Gil had realized that they had yet to see any resting dwarves or even been told about the possibility of rest. 

"I heard that they are always working but I thought it was a rumor." Remey was starting to believe the stereotype that she had heard as a child. 

"Well, I think it might be harder for them to have a normal body clock since they don't really go to the surface. I wonder if they just work until they are tired then sleep." Walker had also noticed this and just assumed that they would work until tired then sleep without any set aside time to rest. 

"Are you coming? I want to show off our prize!" The king yelled for Walker to come in to the processing area. 

When the group entered they found that Midnight had rushed past them and was helping push aside a large work table with a group of dwarves. The other three hadn't even noticed she wasn't with them because she had been taking advantage of the case to better practice her shadow wrapping skill. Even Walker would sometimes lose her when he was using his ability to sense mana. She was very good at using the skill as of late. 

"We cleared the space here. Put it here and let them all see it." The king gestured to the miners, processors, and families of miners who were clamoring for a view of what Walker was about to show off to them. Not many had seen spatial magic since only a few had items capable of spatial storage which was expensive and very rare.

Walker couldn't help but start to get energized seeing so many people were waiting to see their victory. He stood at the edge of the open space and removed the immature golem body from the inventory. He also took out the arms and legs even though two were very damaged and hard to recognize as the limbs other than that they were made of condensed silver. 

The group of miners had many shouts and gasps seeing the pure silver that had come from the mine. They had all been eager to mine the silver mine since before the slimes took root and now they would have the chance to go and explore it. "That's not all, I have something better!" 

The king stood atop the golems main body and placed a bad down. "The golem broke in to a vein of silver. Inside were these rare treasures!" The king spilled the bag of tiny silver skinned worm eggs. "Grab the stock of pet contract scrolls. Every miner will be allowed a chance to raise one. Any who are lucky enough to have pone hatch will be allowed to mine the silver mine. No other will be allowed inside!" 

The massive boost in morale was a very wise decision from the king. He had just taken many hard hits from the slimes and the monsters were fearful and hurt. They did not want to return to the new dangers in the mines which had claimed some of their brothers and sisters. The king grabbed one and pulled a scroll from his belt. 

"I activate this pet contract in the name of Reinhardt the king of the deep caves!" The scroll glowed and faded to dust while the egg in the kings' hand took the glow of mana and a small silver worm tattoo appeared on his arm. This was the partys' second time seeing a scroll with stored magic.

"That's right, the dwarves make almost all the scrolls that can store magic in their city…" Walker remembered this as he saw many dwarves rushing to claim their eggs and to go grab scrolls.
