Chapter 179: The Big Secret Within Mount Roshire
Meanwhile, Fredrinn excused himself.
He told the others that he would do his own investigation. He only brought Nyx with him since he had something important to do that would be troublesome if someone would find out.
"Bring me with you!" Princess Danielle grabbed his arm.
From the way she looked, it didn\'t seem like she had the intention to let him go if he didn\'t give her a proper explanation.
Fredrinn shook his head. "I can\'t bring you with me. There might be enemies lurking within the mountain so it will be dangerous. I might not be able to guarantee your safety."
Hearing this, Princess Danielle frowned. "Then why are you bringing that woman with you?"
She cast a suspicious glance at him.
Fredrinn\'s mouth twitched.
\'What a headache!\'
There was some secret within Mount Roshire that must not be known. He didn\'t want to bring the princess since it was too risky to expose her to that thing.
"I\'m sure you\'ve heard of her power. Nyx can protect herself even if we counter something dangerous." Fredrinn couldn\'t afford to make a mistake here.
The secret in Mount Roshire was too big. With the princess\'s blabbering mouth, he was certain that she wouldn\'t be able to keep the secret for long.
Princess Danielle snorted, feeling a bit aggrieved. She had never been rejected by a man before, but this was also what she liked about Fredrinn. He treated her like she was just a normal girl. He wasn\'t like those people who blindly followed her every word.
Princess Danielle was aware of Nyx\'s existence. She came out of nowhere in the middle of the battlefield. She was a woman of deep mystery.
According to her subordinates\' accounts, Nyx\'s cultivation was even greater than their own and it was said that she managed to kill a half-step Void Tempering powerhouse on her own. After their victory at the Grand Beast Gorge, the soldiers gave her the nickname \'Poison Lily\' because of her overwhelming strength and indifferent nature.
Looking at Nyx\'s intricately beautiful face, Princess Danielle felt a bit jealous. However, she was still happy that Fredrinn cared for her safety.
"Fine, I won\'t make things difficult for you." Princess Danielle didn\'t insist.
"Thank you, Danielle." Fredrinn smiled gently.
Hearing him call her by her name, the princess\'s lips curved upwards.
They exchanged a few more words before he bid her farewell and left with Nyx.
Along the way, he made sure that all their traces were removed to prevent others from following them. He also asked Nyx to actively scan the area since her spiritual perception was more powerful than his own.
His goal this time was to head to a certain spot in the middle of the mountain. There was a small hole covered by the weeds, making it unnoticeable without careful scrutiny. This hole turned out to be an entrance to a cave that led to the deepest part underneath the mountain.
Hidden within this cave was an ore far more valuable than orichalcum, the Valladium. Even the magic aquanite they found back in the mining site near the Firecrown Supreme Household\'s estate was just an ordinary metal compared to Valladium.
What made Valladium more valuable than the two metals was the unique properties that made it almost invulnerable to Qi.
There was just one minor issue…
Only Grandmaster-rank Blacksmiths could smelt it.
To Fredrinn, this wasn\'t an issue. Although the estate currently didn\'t have a blacksmith at that level, it was just a matter of time before they could hire one.
"We are here," Fredrinn recalled the memory from when he was still a player. Back then, he was too weak to join the fight for Valladium so he didn\'t know exactly how much they could find down there.
"Follow me and remember to remove our traces." Fredrinn reminded Nyx before he walked towards the hole hidden behind the weeds.
The whole was just big enough for one person to go in, but it slowly widened as they headed deeper.
With their spiritual power, they managed to navigate their way into the narrow pathway and they soon fell into a cave.
Fredrinn smoothly landed while avoiding the sharp stones.
"This is the place!" He muttered with unconcealed joy.
He scanned the cave with his spiritual perception and discovered a huge amount of orichalcum ore everywhere. However, they didn\'t come here for the orichalcum.
Nyx quietly followed behind him while actively using her spiritual power to scan the depths of the cave.
After walking for almost an hour, they finally caught sight of a black ore that emitted a faint purple glow.

"It\'s real! We finally found it!" Fredrinn excitedly approached the Valladium ore. It was only the size of a basketball, but this thing right here would cost a huge amount of money! Just this much Valladium could buy him a small town on the outskirts of the Star Wind Kingdom!
"Nyx, help me dig this ore. Our goal here is to dig all of the Valladium ore that we can find."
Hearing his words, Nyx nodded and immediately went to work.
With a few casual hand gestures, she cut off the chunk of Valladium ore and handed it to Fredrinn.
"Let\'s head deeper. There should be more the deeper we go." Fredrinn couldn\'t wait to collect everything.
As for the large pieces of orichalcum ore, he ignored them. They were valuable, but not excessively so. Even the magic aquanite they found near the estate was more valuable than orichalcum.
After another hour, the two had already collected over a thousand kilogram of Valladium ore and there were still more left undiscovered.
"You should continue collecting the ores. I need to go back to the foot of the mountain. The princess might get suspicious if I\'m gone for too long. Use this to store the ores." Fredrinn handed her a storage device.
"Alright."
