Chapter 237: - The Mysterious Miner



Princess Alora's entourage finally reached their destination city. Lionell opened the carriage door, and she gracefully stepped out. Broken followed close behind, this time wearing his Obsidian Shroud—a cloak that concealed his armor, making him look as though he were simply dressed in a black robe.

A short, stocky man with blonde hair, standing at about 1.5 meters (4.93 feet) tall, greeted them. His pristine white robe suggested he was likely the lord of the city.

"Welcome to our humble town, Your Highness, Princess Alora," said the NPC named Tristan.

Princess Alora looked around before turning back to Tristan. "Please, tell me in detail about the problems plaguing this city, Lord Tristan."

"Yes, Your Highness," Tristan replied, leading the way for Princess Alora to follow.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lionell and Mercy walked behind her, with Broken trailing after them. However, a few guards stepped in front of him.

"You stay here," they commanded.

"I came with Princess Alora," Broken asserted.

Princess Alora, noticing the commotion, turned back. "Lord Tristan, allow him to come with us," she requested.

"But Your Highness, if I may ask, why would you bring a servant of the royal household here?" Tristan inquired. "I've arranged a grand feast for you; let him stay here."

"No, he is Baron Broken, the Lord of Slumdon Town," Alora clarified.

Tristan paused, then let out a small chuckle. "Ah, hahah! Forgive me. In that case, very well," he said, then resumed leading the way.

As they followed Tristan, Broken decided to casually check Tristan's status. After glancing at it, a frown creased his forehead.

[Name: Tristan]

[Level: 225]

[Strength: ??? | Agility: ??? | Intelligence: 980 | Constitution: ??? | Stamina: ???]

"980 Intelligence stat value!" Broken muttered in disbelief as he stared at Tristan's status. At level 225, Tristan's Intelligence was extraordinarily high. Although the rest of his stats were hidden from view, there was no doubt in Broken's mind that this man was a formidable magic

caster.

"With power that great, shouldn't he be able to handle the problems on his own?" he thought to himself. "His level is even higher than Princess Alora's, although still lower than the two Knight Grand Crosses."

Curiosity piqued, Broken began checking the status of other people around the area. Most were regular NPCs with low stats, fitting for their roles as miners. Their levels ranged from the twenties, with the strongest among them peaking at around level fifty-those were the ones with more robust builds.

But then, something peculiar caught his attention. Among a group gathered in the distance, one individual's stats appeared... unusual. There were no values visible for this person. No level, no stats-nothing.

[Name: Ulrich]

"But..." Tristan responded, his face showing worry.

"The city faces nightly attacks from monsters trying to breach the walls. Because of this, no one dares to venture out at night. We have a limited number of city guards, so we can only fend off the monsters from the top of the wall, shooting arrows to keep them from breaking through and entering the city. It's become more than we can handle," he said, shaking his

head frantically.

A short while later, two city guards arrived, escorting a miner with a terrified expression. Broken immediately recognized the NPC as Ulrich, the miner whose stats he couldn't view, alongside two city guards whose stats were similarly hidden.

"Here, Your Highness. This miner has firsthand experience of the monster attacks," Tristan explained. "Tell us about the source of the monsters, Ulrich."

Ulrich's face was a mask of panic, his eyes wide and his body trembling. "The monsters came from within the cave..." he stammered, his hands shaking. "There's a terrifying presence, like demons! Demons! Demons are going to attack the city!" he cried out, collapsing to his knees,

drenched in sweat.

Princess Alora stood up and knelt before Ulrich, one knee on the ground. "Tell me, where do these monsters come from? Can you show me the place?"

"Yes... Your Highness. I will show you," Ulrich replied, his voice quivering.

Princess Alora stood up. "I will come and inspect the area at once."

Tristan quickly rose, a worried look on his face. "Your Highness, since there are multiple

spots that need to be checked, how about we divide our resources? I mean, what if Sir Lionell and Sir Mercy inspect the other caves while I accompany you to where Ulrich found the source

of the problem?"

"Alright, I agree," Alora said, giving instructions to Lionell and Mercy. She then turned to

Broken.

"Will you come with me?" she asked.

Broken took out his pickaxe and grinned. "Yes, Your Highness, the spirit of a miner burns

within me. I want to try mining in this place," he said, glancing at Tristan.

Tristan responded with a thin, almost unreadable smile.

"Are you a City Lord or a miner?" Tristan inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm a City Lord, but also a miner," Broken replied with a smile.

Tristan didn't respond further; he simply nodded and proceeded to lead the way for Princess

Alora.
