"Furthermore, this is a top-grade soul metal, a rare material even on the Golden Road."
"Although the Chaotic Land is inherently barren, it contains some low-quality minerals, with earth crystals being a major product."
"But I find it strange that a lost territory that even the duchy is too lazy to conquer produces soul crystals, not to mention that they are of the highest quality."
The swordsman's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared at the old city lord, hoping the man would enlighten him.
Since Bishop Bren's unfortunate demise, the Allied forces have lost the means to accurately detect the demons.
Therefore, they moved to more than a dozen cities, taking advantage of the momentum to reclaim lost territory and force cities to surrender, with those who obeyed prospering and those who resisted perishing. On the other hand, they investigated the whereabouts of the demon race, with several powerful figures in the allied forces personally taking action to carefully track them down.
Then, we encountered an army of cabbages...
The camps were burned down, stretching for ten miles. This heavy blow demoralized the Allied forces, who temporarily encamped at Giant City.
The higher-ups of Giant City warmly welcomed them, but their initial behavior was highly suspicious, suggesting collusion with the demons. After a covert investigation, they were surprised to discover that the mithril mine was a smokescreen; the real treasure was a rare soul gold mine.
How precious is Soul Gold?
Soul crystals are needed to forge soul armor, create magical items, and craft special magical cannons. They are also very useful for modifying and upgrading magical puppets. They are a valuable material used in various fields.

Even extraordinary individuals who have embarked on the path to Gold will seek out top-grade Soul Gold, using their extraordinary power to nurture it or with the aid of rare treasures to forge their own unique Gold-tier equipment, thus boosting their combat power.
But in this giant city, the only minerals produced are magical materials such as earth crystals and cold stones. Where would the Soul Gold come from?
The truth is simple: the old city lord and others are not Norsemen, but descendants of giants, who possess the means to cultivate Soul Gold.
"Heh, just a bastard left behind by the giants."
The swordsman, with a cold face, tried to uncover the old city lord's secret of cultivating Soul Gold, but to no avail.
Even if you kill your beloved grandson right in front of him, you still can't force him to do anything.
Giants possess a special talent related to cultivating ores.
It was this very talent that led greedy people to set their sights on the giants.
There are many kinds of giants, such as the frost giants who are now barely surviving in the far north, or the fire giants who were sold into slavery in the southern wastelands.
