As for that stone, Anvis had merely picked it up off the ground and cast a basic Mystic Art on it.
After checks based on the Player's level and Magic knowledge, Xia Ye Ying Huo was unable to see through the spell.
Thus, the information displayed on Xia Ye Ying Huo's Panel was "mysterious stone," rather than "stone imbued with Mystic Art."
Having once been a Player himself, Anvis understood the Player mindset very well.
Compared to ordinary rewards, Players always preferred things that were more mysterious—
Glancing at the sky, Anvis turned and headed toward the Sleeping Siren tavern on the town's main road.
Although Xia Ye Ying Huo's Player Panel had revealed the level of danger within the cave, rushing off to search for it immediately would clearly be too hasty.
Having only just arrived on this island, he still knew very little about its actual situation.
Anvis planned to visit the local tavern to learn about the island's natural environment, as well as the exact locations of the Gemstone Mine and the source of the Harmonizer.
After going to such trouble to come all this way, he naturally had to find a way to maximize his gains.
Unlike the low- and mid-ranked Cursed Ore deposits he had previously bought up across the Empire, which the major powers could not be bothered with.
These two entirely new mineral resources, capable of assisting Seventh Rank and above Professionals in training and breakthroughs, were fully deserving of the title strategic-grade. They were precious deposits worthy of serving as the foundation of a power, no less valuable than a large Magic Crystal mine!
And that was not all.
After seeing the island for himself, Anvis realized that the island itself might be even more valuable to him than the Gemstone Mine
