On the other hand, upon arriving at the blocked path, Desmond and Annie saw many soldiers, and the mercenaries from the Corps of Teleknights were carrying a pickaxe. They began to mine the rocks one by one. Destroying the stone and causing some pebbles flies around.
The situation was bustling; there, no one was idle. Even the beauties from Steel Legion were busy chanting a spell to protect the body of these soldiers and mercenaries. They also attacked with the rocks with their spell, making their faces looked so pale.
In comparison, not far from their location, a continuous sound of rock breaking was heard along with many rocks shard were flying to the blue skies forming a cloud of dust that was blocking the view as if it was a drill machine drilling in the front.
When Desmond and Annie arrived, their arrival did not attract too much attention except for the captain."Welcome, young master," the captain smiled with his other eyes focused on the blocked path.
Desmond just nodded in reply and shifted his attention to the blocked path. There he saw the boulder of rocks were so many, piled up and scatter in the road.
Although the rocks were completely blocking the path, yet he could see the sight of the wall from Helmfirth City.
Wow, these guys really thought, Desmond thought and was surprised by their actions. If they were placed in his past world, maybe they would become the best miner.
Wait...Wait... How? The more Desmond observes their actions, the more he began confused.
Although their stamina was superior to a commoner, still their types of equipment should be broken. How was it possible to break the boulder of rocks continuously without changing to reserved pickaxes?
As Desmond pondered about this matter, without his command, the system began scanning one of the pickaxes currently used by the soldier to mine.
[Scanning the target..]
[Scan Complete!]
[
Name: Reinforced Pick Axe
Grade: Uncommon
Information: A pickaxe made by using material of Adamantystal ore. Its have high durability than a regular pickaxe and also low magic absorption
]
Upon reading the information, Desmond was dumbfounded.
Adamanstyal? What ore is that? How can I never hear? He was astonishment about this ore. If this ore could really reinforce and increase the durability of an item, then it would be great for any weapon, right?
As though the system could read Desmond's mind, a new transparent screen popped up with the information he wanted.
[
Name: Adamantystal
Grade: Rare
Information: An combined item by Adamantine that was melted with Magic Crystal. This ore is usually used by soldiers or mercenaries for any hard weapon, for example, swords, armor, boots, shield, and any other hard surface item.
The system acquired this information when the Host was reading the book called " The Material of Saint World."
]
After reading this information, Desmond nodded in satisfaction. His face was twitched upon seeing how the system explains the data by drawing one of his memories.
Although he just casually flipped the book quickly, the system still managed to restore all the information, which made him gasped in relief.
Really, a machine is more reliable and helpful at this time, Desmond thought. He just dazed for a moment before shifted his attention toward the source of the drilling sound.
"Are they Vesta and the mercenaries' leader?" Desmond asked the captain while the latter just nodded in response. As for Annie standing behind him, she was looking at the captain with her cold eyes.
After observing the situation for few minutes, Desmond knew they worked really hard for him. He somehow did not feel gratitude; instead was amused. In the first place, this is their mission to escort him safely to the city, yet many trouble popping out one by one.
"Ah, I forget, Vesta also had a mission to check the security of the kingdom land," Desmond spoke inwardly as if he was enough; he gesturing Annie and nodded simultaneously before turning his head to the captain.
"I see, then I'll take my leave and thank you for sparing your time for me." Desmond continued and thanked. He knew the captain should be monitoring his soldiers right now, yet he spared his time accompanying Desmond and answering some trivia questions.
On the other hand, after seeing Desmond taking his leave, the captain was astonished by his attitude. He shook his head, but still, a trace of resentment was seen in his look upon remembering the look in his maid.

....
After leaving the main road, Desmond kept moving forward to the deeper forest. Right now, the people were too busy to care about him, which make him feel great.
Behind him, Annie was silent and keep following her young master, but one could see her eyes constantly scanning around while maintaining her vigilance.
In contrast, Desmond leisurely headed toward the direction where he had been fighting with the assassins.
"Halt," Suddenly, a soldier was standing in front of Desmond. He had a fierce look as his eyes glared at them while gripping his unseat sword on his right hand.
However, when his eyes landing on Desmond's face, he was dumbfounded and continued," Young master?" he was placed to guard the corpse of Shapeshifter by his captain. Therefore he did not participate in the mining like his comrade.
Upon witnessing the young master they were protected was arriving in this area, the soldier lowered his weapon and awareness.
"Hoh? What are you doing here? Did the captain assigned you to guard this place?" Desmond bombard questions at him. He did not surprise by seeing a soldier here.
After all, the matter about the appearance of Shapeshifter was quite big. Before, when he was chased by him at the guild, Desmond did not know who is it nor his background.
Hence, after reading various news and information regarding Shapeshifter, Desmond realized the Shapeshifter was a scary existence.
The Shapeshifter could copy any being and possed half of the power. But, as a consequence, the Shapeshifter could not replicate the being's ability, such as an elemental attack or magical attack.
And this is one of the reasons why the Shapeshifter copied the Dragon Beast yet could not spit out a breath of fire.
"Yes," The soldier replied and was shocked inwardly. He had been long known and heard the rumor regarding this young master, still hearing and witnessing with your own eyes was too different.
The young master before him could instantly know and act mature as if he were an adult even though the teen or young man was known for their short temper and worst attitude.
"I see," Desmond replied with his eyes peeked through the gap of the soldier's body. There he saw the body of Shapeshifter was lying on the ground with his eyes crushed and spilled out of black blood.
Behind the corpse, some stone debris could be seen, along with a few crows were pecking their beaks through amidst the debris as if there was a slice of meat in there.
Hmm, I want to try to absorb him, but it will be too eye-catching doing this in front of the soldier, Desmond thought and sent a magic message toward Annie.
Prepared your memories spell or what is called.
Yes, young master. It was called Memories Manipulation
Annie nodded while Desmond turning his head and looking around the surrounding.
Upon seeing Desmond and Annie, the captain felt something was amiss, but before he asked them, he saw Desmond's mouth was opened, and a smirk was formed on his face.
"Uncle, would you mind doing a spar with me?"
