Jasmine had just finished arranging accommodation and work for those female slaves, assigning the gathering team properly, when Angus, who had gone to negotiate trade with the Elves earlier, returned riding a Gryphon alone across the sky.
Following behind Angus on the backs of the flying beasts returning with the boy were also several thousand pounds of pitch-black coal packed in large sacks.
Deep within the Elven Forest lived quite a few sturdy Dwarves and heavily muscled Minotaurs skilled in forging. These heterogenous races, inherently carrying the bloodline possessing forging techniques and heat resistance, naturally knew how to crush and process the raw coal ore newly mined from deep underground. Therefore, the coal Angus brought back was all processed to filter out impurities, having a very uniform quality, and could be thrown straight into the furnace to be burned immediately.
