After descending more than twenty steps, the two arrived in a spacious chamber.
A Teleportation Array stood in the center of the basement, with a small elemental pool nearby supplying it with energy.
Angus turned and looked at Velin solemnly. "You're about to learn some of the family's secrets. Remember, do not discuss them with anyone else."
"Father, I understand."
The two then stood at the center of the small Teleportation Array, which activated on its own.
A flash of white light passed, and their figures vanished.
White Rock Plantation was a secret plantation of the Ex Family, located in White Rock Canyon, Yinxing County, Eagle Territory. Beneath it lay a Magic Crystal Mine with enormous reserves, placing the entire plantation in an environment rich in Mana Energy.
White Rock Canyon covered thirty square kilometers and was shrouded by a layer of light, meant to conceal it from outside probing.
Less than a hundred kilometers away, on the Falling Rock Plains, was the garrison of the Eagle Knight Order.

"This is the family's secret plantation. It contains many exceptionally rare and precious plants. Most are consumed internally by the family, while only a small portion is sold. Even so, it brings the family thirty million Gold Coins in revenue every year."
"As for the plants we sell, that's only to maintain shared interests with allied families. Otherwise, we wouldn't sell even the slightest bit. Everything would be kept for internal use."
As Velin walked and listened to his father, he silently made calculations.
