Upon hearing Ian's story, everyone began to search the nearby burrows.
Since such a large space had been excavated, this was likely the nest, meaning the place where their collection was hidden was highly likely to be close by.
Everyone scattered and looked around for a few minutes.
Before long, a voice calling the others was heard.
'It's over here!'
'Where?'
Tanya was the first to discover the suspicious spot.
It was thanks to the fairies, who had a knack for finding interesting objects, informing Tanya of the location where many items were gathered.
Everyone flocked to where Tanya was upon hearing her voice.
It was a small pit dug into one side. When the thin layer of soil covering the top was cleared away, the items piled underneath were revealed.
'What are these... stones?'
'They look like ores...'
Everyone picked up the items gathered there one by one. At first, they thought they were ordinary stones, but as the dust was wiped away, a faint luster emerged.
