I Will Conquer The World!

Chapter 75: Cursed Ore Mine



Chapter 75: Cursed Ore Mine

Lerin packed up and went out of the town the very night that he sold his title of noble, almost as if he was fleeing from something. Harry didn't think too much about his behavior. He assumed that Lerin was just anxious to settle down somewhere else.

But something completely different went on in Lerin's mind. He was afraid that Harry would suddenly regret buying the title of a noble, and demand for a refund or even worse, kill him and take his money back. That way he'd have both the title and the money! His fears weren't totally unfounded though. Even though he was a knight in the past, Lerin was still an old man now. He couldn't guarantee that he would win in a duel against the mysterious young man who just suddenly came with enough money to buy nobleship.

And as if all that wasn't enough to convince him, he felt an aura of a veteran warrior who had personally slain many people from the young man. He only felt that aura and sense of danger and alertness from extremely powerful people, or skilled veteran knights!

Thus, he took the decision that any rational and sane man would. Scram immediately! 

Harry on the other hand, was carefully examining his town in his map. This was because he saw a strange symbol a bit left of his town. He pondered about what it could be for over ten minutes, before giving up and asking Pluto, who was currently peacefully sitting in the chair next to his desk, "Pluto, what is this purple symbol with a capital 'C' on it?"

Pluto's dreamy eyes that seemed to be recollecting something previously immediately became bright. He said with excitement seeping through his voice, "Where did you see it?!"

Harry showed him his map, and how the symbol was extremely close to the town. Pluto immediately laughed with happiness visible in his voice, as if he had just won the lottery. He then looked at Harry and said, "You've just secured the funds for your village!"

This startled Harry, as he said, "Funds?"

Pluto giggled and said, "Yup! That symbol represents cursed ore! You know how much it would sell for? 10 derins of it could easily fetch 50 gold coins! Those 50 coins are enough to easily develop your town!"

[Derins is a measurement used in Ilin. It's approximately half a gram.]

Harry just realized that he had struck gold. But then he realised a problem. He asked slowly, "But, Pluto, which kingdom has the buying power to buy that much cursed ore?"

Pluto laughed and said, "You don't always have to sell it to one kingdom."

Harry understood what Pluto was implying and couldn't help but feel tickled. They were going to empty the treasury of all the demon kingdoms, witch kingdoms, and human kingdoms.

Harry stopped his laughter and asked Pluto, "Will the witches and demons really buy the cursed ore?"

Pluto nodded while saying, "They will. There are two main reasons for this. Cursed ore is a mysterious and fascinating, but dangerous thing. So they'd want to research about it, to see if it could help them produce mutant soldiers like demonic knights. And the second reason is, they'd obviously feel it's better to have it with them to leave it with the humans."

But then Harry found a problem again. He asked, "Won't the demons or witches find out that I'm a human?"

Pluto thought about it for a while before saying, "Use the aura concealing potion after obtaining it from the system. It will conceal your aura, and hence they won't be able to find out that your a human. Then, with your upgraded strength combined along with it, they will think that you are a demon."

Harry smiled and felt that this would be an interesting experience. He then pinned the symbol location, and then went towards it. 

Once he reached there, all he saw was were the regular plains. He was about to ask Pluto, when Pluto said, "Ask your system for a free usable"

This shocked Harry as he asked Pluto, "Free Usable?!"

Pluto looked at Harry incredulously before saying, "Don't you know you can redeem three usables from your system every month for free?"

Harry moved his head left to right furiously, while gnashing his teeth. The system had hidden so many benefits from him! 

He then went to the system and checked the store which had a tiny 'R' in the bottom left corner. He clicked on it, and it said, 'Redeem Usables for this month? Requirements:'

Harry looked at Pluto and Pluto said, "You're getting too dependent on me. Think about it. To pass through this ground and enter the cave below, what do you need to use?"

Harry thought about it before saying, "A pass through usable?"

Pluto facepalmed as he said, "How will you get back up?"

Harry though about it for a long while before giving up and saying, "I don't know about these usables... I've never used them."

Pluto groaned and said, "A pass through portal, and a mining bot. We'll leave the last redeem for the aura concealing potion."

Harry rolled his eyes as he typed the name of pass through portal first and then redeemed and then typed the name of mining bot and then redeemed.

He then read the description given for the pass through portal given by the system, which said, 'Place on the wall that you want to pass through. And then jump through it.'

Harry facepalmed at his system's obnoxious explanation and then did as it told, by clicking on use option of the pass through portal, and put it on the ground. It opened up, and he could see blue particles flying in it. He jumped through it expecting a long jump, or some kind of weird feeling.

But that was not what happend. Before he knew it, he was standing in a cave, surrounded by purple tinged cursed ore.
