Viscount Hereford, not wanting to deal with the situation, covered it up and fled after the collapse, not caring about the miners' fate.
The white giant wolf seen on the eastern plains couldn't speak and was used as a scapegoat by Viscount Hereford.
With this clarification, the players' quest interface was updated, and the progress for the [ Clear the Beasts ] quest increased from 48% to 52%.
When everyone exited the mine, they saw a giant white wolf standing in the distance outside the mine.
The players also immediately noticed the giant white wolf.
As described by the town residents, the giant white wolf was very intimidating.
Its majestic mane and visible fangs made the players instinctively take a step back in fear.
The giant white wolf leaped over from a distance and landed outside the quarry, slowly walking closer toward them.
The players knew the giant white wolf wouldn't attack them, but seeing such a huge beast still made them worried.
What happened next left them stunned.
When Hanjun came to Ulon Town and searched for information around the area, Snowball who was sensing the divine light on Hanjun, had come to find him.
Snowball is currently only level 20, but as a special white wolf in its pack, it has a strong sense toward light-type magic.
When it felt the huge light power from Hanjun, it gave in to it and acted cute to get some attention.
Snowball is also somewhat aware of what happened in the eastern plains and willingly shares what it knew with Hanjun.
From Snowball, Hanjun learned why Viscount Hereford was mining in the eastern plains.
The quarry wasn't just producing regular stones; it was producing mana stones that wizards highly valued.
These mana stones can store magical energy, and every wizard carries a few with them.
The quality of the mana stone affects how much magic it can store.
These mana stones are essential for wizards.
Viscount Hereford realized this, so he asked the miners to work day and night in order to make a lot of money.
