The ships reached the shores of far north of eastern continent. The place is chilling cold reminding the crews of the far north of their own continent.
Brrrrr..., this place is really cold.
What do you expect from far north, I mean the far north of our land is same.
You are right, let's wait for order from the leader.
The royal ship was last one to reach the far north of east as the crew of the various corporations and multicorporations already, start mining. The crew formed a crowd waiting from instruction from the leader of expenditure.
Attention miners! I am Michael Stone, a veteran miner, I have been assign from the emperor, to lead this expenditure, as you all know this place is filled with every minerals our homeland needs, industrial metals, nobel metals, oil and even radioactive resources for our nuclear plants. But we are mining crew our goal is just to mine every ore, natural and supernatural we find, avoid the deposits of radiactive materials if you don't want to irradiated, as for oil, it is something the incoming crews sent by companies and crown will handle, also there is also combined combat crew of merceneries, security forces and militia, their primary objective to protect you miners from monsters as well as eliminate any major threat nearby, such as leshens. Although they are also assigned optional secondary objective to gather the corpse of every monster, as their parts is ingredient for potion, as well as, they are rich in chemical elements that could be extracted and used by chemist and biochemists. Either way I have explained everything take the geiger counter and mining drill and start mining immediately, the companies already arrived first and already doing their work, he the men sent by crown cannot lag behind to much. NOW MOVE YOUR ASS< UNDERSTOOD BOYS?!
YES SIR!!!
Immediately the miners begin their work, they dug everything they can find, iron, gold, copper, meteorite, dimeritium, aluminium, titanium and so on.
One of the miner has his geiger counter buzzing.
Be careful pal, that place has radioactive material do not dig that place otherwise this entire place will irradiated.
Understood, I mine at different location.
The miners of all groups mining everything they find, infact their vigor is growing as more and more ores coming out, especially gold and silver, which seemed to be plenty here.
One of the corporation mining site
Man! This place is treasure! I have been digging for 4 hours, and I got more noble metals than industrial metals! The company will be rich in no time.
Do not celebrate early, gold is a currency, but currency that cannot be used to buy anything means nothing.
Jack is right, gold is precious but it is just money not building material we need.
*Sigh* You really ruined my mood, anyway I hope, I find industrial metals as well.
Second corporation mining site
Damn it!
What's the matter, Peter?
Sarah, I have been mining for hours yet, I got handful of iron ores.
It's okay, maybe your luck isn't that good, just don't give up, I believe you find more ore eventually.
It maybe easy for you to say that, Sarah, afterall you managed mine large quantity of ore of iron, copper and meteorite, I barely got few ores of iron.
It's not like that, I believe that you while find dozens afterward, just don't give up quickly.
Third corporation mining site
Ha! Ha! Ha! Today is our lucky day, not only our crew came first, but the place we are mining is filled it all sorts of rock.
Indeed Bob, with this our company is far ahead of other company and crown itself.
The workers of crown as well as workers of different companies are busy in mining for every ore they find, similarly the armed crew members managed to hunt down various monster they find, not just to protect the miners, but also gather the corpse of monsters for scientists and alchemists in homeland.
Meanwhile the second crew of all groups came, the crew whose job is is built wells for crude oil and store it in sealed containers, to be taken back to the empire, processing into various derivatives.
Eventually the third crew of all groups came, their job is not to mine ore or oil but the radioactive substances, they are wearing protective equipment that protect one from radiation, the built a dome above the deposits of radioactive materials to ensure that when they mine it, the released radiaction does not cause any harm to crew or pollute the monsters that could be harvested.
Two weeks passed, and crew is very busy in their work as this place is abundant in resources their homeland needs. The militia, merceneries and security forces are guarding as usual.
Is anything troubling you?
I felt as if someone watching us?
It could be your imagination, this part is clear of any biological entities save for our people, I mean, our scanner says so.
Even so, my intuition tells me that someone watching us, not a monster but something else entirely.
Let's go to the makeshift canteen, I guess some vodka will soothe your nervousness.
The security guard took his colleague to canteen to soothe his nervousness, he has no idea that his guts were right, there is really someone watching them. From a distance a group of elves were watching them with the help of their sage, who use his magic to see the humans from distance.
{In elder speech} He didn't noticed us, right?
{In elder speech} Why you are afraid?
{In elder speech} I mean that guy literally sensed our sage's spell, could he possess source? Or sixth sense?
The elven sage, Anrai Tomhas, gave the reply.
{In elder speech} He has no source, in fact none of those humam has source, as for sixth sense, that guy simply has better sense than a typical human.
{In elder speech} But even that is impossible, no ordinary human can sense the chaos of a spell, unless they are witchers.
{In elder speech} That must be because of their biology, their biology is different from human we seen in past. With such biology there is a possibility of some of them sense a spell. Beside, I am more interested in their auras.
{In elder speech} Their auras?
{In elder speech} Yeah, normaly the aura of human and us have no harmony with the world as both human and us are not of this world, human came from conjunction and we came through ard gaeth, so basically both humans and us are supposed to alien to this world, yet...
{In elder speech} Yet?
{In elder speech} The aura of these humans are in complete harmony with world, as if they are from this world, something that is supposed to impossible as only the aura of gnomes, halflings and dwarves with be in complete harmony with the world as they are this world's true natives, unless...
Anrai paused and speak again.
{In elder speech} Unless these humans are truly of this world, unlike the ones we seen before.
{In elder speech} That's impossible! We all know that humans are aliens who came from other world along with those monsters.
{In elder speech} He is right! There's no way that there could human of belong to more than one world.
{In elder speech} Even so, we cannot deny the possibility, that these humans might be this world's own humans, if so, they could fourth true native of this world unlike the ones we know.
Anrai deactivate his spell, let's return to settlement and tell our kin what we saw right now.
