Chapter 2891
The First Heir
Lord Ludo flipped his folding fan open, fanned himself, and cursed under his breath, âHow ignorant.â
On the side, Fennel looked at Philip and whispered, âDid you offend him? Why is he always so
sarcastic to you?â
Philip stroked his chin, laughed drily, and said, âIâm not sure either. Maybe Iâm too handsomeâ¦â
Pfft!
Lord Ludo spat the tea he was drinking and stared daggers at Philip. Then, he said, âThere are nine
mines in Mystic City. Because of some incidents that modern society canât explain, the locals call them
Mystic Mines. A lot of jade and ancient weapons have been dug up in Mystic Mine Three in the past
few days, so itâs in the limelight and has attracted many looters.â
Hearing this, Philip and the others nodded repeatedly.
According to Lord Ludo, it was nothing more than a mine that had unearthed jade and ancient
weapons.
âWhat about Mystic Mine Seven?â Philip asked.
Lord Ludo glared at him vehemently and said, âA bloodstone was dug up in Mystic Mine Seven three
years ago. The entire jade looked as if it was permeated with blood. It was red from the inside out. It
was rumored that people who have seen this bloodstone have gotten into accidents one after another.
They either committed suicide, were dying from illness, or went crazy. After that, Mystic Mine Seven
was closed. It was only opened recently.â
After waiting for a while, Philip asked anxiously, âIs that it?â
Lord Ludo shrugged and said, âThatâs it.â
Philip frowned and said, âWhere is this bloodstone now? â
Lord Ludo said, âHow would I know?â
Philip was taken aback before he scratched his chin in embarrassment.
âLetâs go!â Lord Ludo stood up.
Philip asked, âWhere are we going?â
Lord Ludo said, âTo Mystic Mine Three.â
After saying that, Lord Ludo left without waiting for Philip and the others to agree.
Philip exchanged a glance with Fennel. The latter looked at the former with a puzzled look and asked,
âYou really didnât offend him?â
Philip laughed dryly and followed without explaining. Very soon, the group arrived at Mystic Mine
Three.
Several streets had been formed nearby, all of which were selling jade, weapons, and other
collectibles. Quite many people were haggling in front of the street stalls.
âIsnât this just a jade quarry? Whatâs up with all the mystery?â 17 followed behind and grumbled.
Lord Ludo replied, âYouâre right. Itâs a jade quarry. The entire Mystic City is the base leading to the
largest jade mine in the whole country. The jade here is of the best quality. There are two window
periods every year when traders and tourists from other places will come here to purchase goods.â
After Lord Ludo finished speaking, Philip nodded and asked, âWhy did you bring us here?â
Lord Ludo rolled his eyes at Philip and said, âI brought you here to take a look. You can buy some if
youâre interested.â
Hearing this, Philip said, âIâm sorry to disappoint you, but we donât have time to waste here. In that
case, please excuse us.â
With that said, Philip turned around to leave with Fennel and the others.
Lord Ludo glared at him fiercely and said, âDonât you want to know the connection between these
mines and Mystic Cave of Mystic City? Donât you want to know the location of the treasure of the
ancient sage thatâs about to appear?â
Hearing this, Philip stopped in his tracks, looked back at Lord Ludo, and asked, âSo why did you bring
us here?â
Lord Ludo said, âStone gambling!â
âStone gambling?â Philip was taken aback and refused. âIâm sorry, I donât know how to do this. Besides,
it has nothing to do with our next plans.â
Lord Ludo smiled and said, âSure it does! If you want to get the right to enter Mystic Cave, you have to
gamble on stones. You need to obtain recognition from the nine mystic mines and get the token before
you can get the opportunity to enter Mystic Cave.â
