"There's nothing here."
Luther's voice sounded in the dimly lit tunnel.
"What do you expect? We're still in the explored region." Asher commented.
Unlike what one would expect of a mine, the Vermont mine was a bit more developed than the others. Thanks to the innovations possible via the existence of mana and magic crystals, the tunnels were well-lit with night pearls; Fera magic crystals that glowed in the dark.
The group of three had been walking for over 20 minutes, but they were yet to exit the explored range of the mine. Put simply, the explored range was indicated by the night pearls on the ceiling. The unexplored region of the tunnel was a previously dug-out area or a naturally occurring tunnel within the mine that was not fully explored for various reasons.
"Hold." Luther suddenly stopped.
The guide was in front of Luther, who stood a few steps behind him, with Asher close by at the back. Finally, was Aaron who brought up the rear.
