Into the mist, Edith's setback, hush money, and the final field of knowledge to fill the gap!

The White Stone Mountains.

The chill unique to the mountains swept over Ian, making his body instinctively stiffen.

A colossal high-grade mineral vein?

Was that a good thing?

Absolutely not.

If it were a colossal Second Ring vein, an organization the size of Elemental Mysteries could certainly handle it.
