‘Excellent, now all I’m missing is a grade-5 green crystal.’ Moss’s heart tightened as he frowned when he thought of the grade-5 green crystal.

Under the older man’s guidance, he went to raid the Mystic Realm near the red river mine in the Forest Region.

Moss’s luck was decent since he gathered a few crystals when he took down the Mystic Realm boss. Among them was a red crystal.

Based on his perception of the red crystal’s energy, Moss knew it was a grade-6 crystal. However, he also encountered difficulties in his search for the green crystal.

Several times, he raided the Mystic Realm near the bottom of the dark valley. Although he obtained seven to eight grade-7 and grade-6 green crystals, he could not obtain a grade-6 or higher green crystal.

!!

“Yes, I don’t need to find everything myself.”

He thought of the older man’s words and could not help but smile. At the same time, Moss thought of the hunchbacked man he had once traded with. Previously, the hunchbacked man’s green crystal was what attracted Moss.

Thinking of that, Moss immediately set off for Buried City’s town area.

…

Two hours ago, a white-haired older adult sat on a large sofa, sipping his coffee in a magnificent room in the City Lord’s district.

He had an elegant and extraordinary demeanor as he fixed his eyes on a slightly white-haired, noble-looking middle-aged man across from him, saying something.

The middle-aged man listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

When the older adult stopped talking, the middle-aged man said, “Big Brother, I know it’s been hard on you. I’ve investigated Moss, and he indeed possesses excellent potential.

“However, I haven’t figured out his true purpose for coming to the dungeon. I’ll keep sending people to keep an eye on him. It will be great if we can use someone like him.”

He refilled the older adult’s coffee and said respectfully, “You don’t have to work so hard, Big Brother. It’s better if you enjoy your life here. Instead of pretending to be a beggar, you can order your subordinates to do anything you want.”

“What do you know?” The older man suddenly revealed a severe expression. “It will be easy to be fooled if one does not personally keep an eye on certain situations.”

However, the older man quickly calmed down after saying these things. He knew it was not easy for his younger brother to become the city lord because he would have many things to deal with.

“Not everything is true even if we see them with our eyes, Second Brother. It’s worse if we don’t check it out ourselves,” the older man sighed and continued, “I know you’ve been busy since becoming the City Lord, but I suggest you go down there and look around whenever possible. By broadening your perspective, you can see people more clearly, mainly those you think are most important.

“That is Buried City’s foundation,” the older man paused and looked at the middle-aged man meaningfully. “When we face more significant matter’s in the future, just the two of our current team and us is far from enough.”

The older man was the beggar Moss had met in Novice Village. The older man who helped him find crystals.

The older man had spent more time in Novice Village to find new people with potential for many years. He wanted to recruit them into Buried City’s elite team.

Even though it was hard for him, Landis, the eldest brother, did not feel bitter. After all, he only had one brother, Mundus.

Ever since their parents were gone, Landis only had one thought: to help his younger brother develop Buried City and to deal with the unpredictable future.

Especially recently, he had learned much about spatial anomalies and the frequent occurrence of Magical Beasts. His sense of urgency became even more prominent.

A hint of sadness flashed in Mundus’s eyes as he said with concern and sincerity, “All right, Big Brother. You must care for your health.”

“I will.” Landis finished his coffee and stood up. “I’m going to Novice Village. That kid might be looking for me again,” after saying that, he hurriedly left.

…

Moss quickly found the hunchbacked man near the town’s mission desk. The hunchbacked man was still doing his work there.

However, Moss did not approach him. Instead, Moss carefully observed his surroundings. After about ten minutes, there was no sign of Stuart and his men, so Moss slowly walked toward the mission desk.

He walked past the hunchbacked man but said lowly, “Meet me in Novice Village’s jungle in ten minutes if you’re interested in a trade.”

The hunchbacked man was stunned, and a smile flashed across his face. Then he walked in the opposite direction toward Novice Village.

…

The hunchbacked man stopped two meters in front of Moss and looked around. He acted calm and asked, “What kind of trade are we talking about?”

Moss did not answer. Instead, he threw a rather big crystal at the hunchbacked man.

After receiving the crystal, the hunchbacked man’s eyes lit up as a greedy expression appeared on his face. He quickly steadied his mind, saying, “Although this is big, its appearance is average. I can trade this with you,” as the hunchbacked man spoke, he removed a crystal emitting a faint red light from his pocket and tossed it at Moss.

Moss did not catch it. Instead, he gently flicked the crystal with his finger, and it fell back into the hunchbacked man’s hand.

His casual action shocked the hunchbacked man, and the man’s jaw almost hit the ground.

Then Moss removed a grade-6 red crystal from his pocket and showed it to the hunchbacked man. “The one I have is much better than yours, right?”

Then he said even louder, “I want to trade for the green crystal you showed me before. Name your price.”

The hunchbacked man noticed Moss was showing off his skills and knew he was not an ordinary person. The hunchbacked man also knew if he disagreed, he would not be able to deal with Moss.

Thus, he said with a trembling voice, “Y-Your crystal will do just fine.”

Moss said lowly, “All right, deal. I can give you another crystal, but…”

The hunchbacked man’s voice trembled even more, “B-B-But what?”

Moss continued, “But, you must tell me how you obtained that green crystal.”

“Okay, I got it in a Mystic Realm near the Mountain Region’s mysterious mining area,” the hunchbacked man readily agreed. He did not want to hide it because he could not obtain such a crystal alone.

The green crystal was something the hunchbacked man’s puppeteer had found in the Mystic Realm near the Mountain Region’s mysterious mining area.

He did not know why his puppeteer and another expert fought, but the two died from severe injuries in the end. Shortly after, the hunchbacked man searched the two corpses and found the green crystal.

His heart bloomed with joy when he heard Moss wanted to give him another piece of crystal. Initially, he felt he had greatly profited from the purple-gold crystal Moss had offered.

The hunchbacked man would still profit no matter what Moss gave him. Therefore, he did not hesitate and told Moss about the location.

Since the hunchbacked man did not hesitate, Moss knew he was not lying. Hence, he threw a black crystal to the hunchbacked man, which landed perfectly on the purple-gold crystal.

The hunchbacked man stumbled and almost fell when he saw the airborne crystal. He turned pale with fright and quickly tossed the green crystal to Moss. Then he hurriedly turned and ran away.

Moss looked at the hunchbacked man who had run away and muttered, “So I can find more green crystals in the Mountain Region’s mysterious mining area.”
