Chapitre 109: First Time Together (1)

The sun was almost high up and the progress with the cave's entry was still small. It was bigger this time. A little more and it could fit two men but the boulders were bigger and harder to cut. The workers went home for lunch, leaving only Mafan and Qinfen. 

Mafan grew impatient for the workers were too slow. Looking at the worker's speed, it was impossible to get a mine opening free of obstruction in just one week's time.

"This is no time to be furious, but I need this open soon, but how can I do that?" He breathed deep to compose himself and analyzed the whole area then suddenly an idea came into mind. "What if I send men to explore the mines at once? But I can't trust these people. Even if I can let them search for the stone, I can't control their wills. If I'll go in alone, the boulders might close in on me. That option is too risky."
