The hurricane's words reminded Stubborn Sen of what happened last time. Unless it was something particularly important, those guys who only knew how to enjoy themselves wouldn't have come here.
It must be a very important ore, possibly a salt mine, an iron mine, or even a silver mine.
He knew this area very well; the ore must be in those mountains. After all, this vast area wasn't just his domain, Earl Worsis. It would be quite difficult for him to secretly mine and make a fortune.
It's unbelievable that the ore in those mountains was also robbed. I just don't know who robbed them this time.
How could that foolish Earl Worthy have thought that it was Stubborn who stole his ore?
Could it be that the mine in that mountain is very close to us? Only a fool like Worsis would think that he robbed them.
"Hurricane, this ore is probably iron or silver ore, and it's very likely located in those mountains over there. If possible, we might actually go and rob it."
"Ah! Is it true, Stubborn Sen? If it's iron ore and silver ore, we'll be rich! Do you know how much food we can get for those ores?"
The hurricane was very excited, as both iron ore and silver ore were extremely valuable.
As Hurricane looked towards the mountains in the southeast, his initial excitement subsided. It would be quite difficult for them to cross the mountains to find the location of the mine.
The roads leading into the mountains are extremely difficult to traverse. Horseback riding is prohibited; you have to climb entirely on your hands and feet. Furthermore, some sections are inaccessible and require detours, making it a very challenging and dangerous journey.
Even if they were lucky enough to manage to steal some ore, it would be difficult to transport it back. Thinking of this, Hurricane looked at Stubborn Sen with a strange sense of unease.
"Stubborn Sen, this is a good idea, but it's too difficult for us to go over the mountain and rob the ore. It's a real shame!"
Jiang Sen also turned his gaze away from the distant mountains. He smiled and said, "Hurricane, isn't there a big lake on the south side of the mountain? Didn't you go fishing there before? We can cross over from the lake!"
Hurricane's previously dimmed eyes immediately brightened, and he excitedly grabbed Stubborn's shoulder again. "Yes, how could I forget about that lake over there? That's great, Stubborn, when do we set off?"
Jiang Sen gazed at the excited hurricane and asked, "Hurricane, although there's a lake over there, do we have a boat?"
"Stubborn Sen, I really dislike the way you talk. Do you find this joke funny?"
Stubbornly smiled. "Oh! Sorry, buddy, we don't have a boat, but we can borrow some from other places. They might not be willing to lend it to us, but we have no choice, we're going to borrow it."
Hearing Stubborn Sen's words, Hurricane laughed. He gripped his battle axe; as long as he had the axe in his hand, he felt full of power.
"Stubborn Sen, we really need to change our development plan. It's becoming increasingly difficult to communicate and develop with those noble lords in the east. Their city walls are getting higher and higher, and their weapons are getting better and better."
When he had nothing to do, Jiang Sen often thought about the issues that Hurricane had mentioned. Indeed, it was becoming increasingly difficult to rob people these days.
They can still win by being agile now, but when those noble lords unite to attack you, they can only run away. The main reason they don't want to come here now is because the environment is too bad.
Perhaps this is the best opportunity to change the current situation. They didn't have anything of value here before, but now there might be valuable ores on the other side of the mountain. If they get the ores there, they won't need to rob anymore; they can just mine the ores and trade them for food.
"Hurricane, go prepare, we'll go borrow a boat first."
