Four days after the incident...
The flames that raged non-stop and devoured all the filth inside the crater finally came to a stop.
Lux and the Mayor had a talk and, upon the Half-Elf's request, the flames were not extinguished so that all the wastes inside the crater that had piled up for hundreds of years, would be burned completely, leaving nothing behind but ash.
Those who specialized in Wind and Earth magic worked together in order to create a wall, preventing the smoke from reaching the City of Pygmalion.
Fortunately, the direction of the wind changed after several hours, easing the hardship of the citizens of the city.
After realizing that their new neighbor was bat-sh*t-crazy, they decided to not antagonize him anymore and settled with creating a big crater in the wasteland of the lower realm, to dump their trash into.
The filth that had been dumped at the base of the mountain was also cleared out, making the Half-Elf sigh in relief. When everything was over, he then shared this news with his Guild Members, who celebrated after hearing that the issue was finally resolved.
"Hahaha!" Cai laughed. "I knew it! It was right to let them eat sh*t!"
"Lux, we might have won today, but make sure not to do anything reckless in the future," Cedwyn said. "Use negotiations first, but if negotiations fail, only then can we start blowing things up. It wouldn't be too late to do it then."
"It's good to know that we can finally have our headquarters built without worrying about filth and our neighbors," Thoram replied. "I'm itching to visit the Outer Reaches and see how they manage the order of their city."
"I'm also very curious as well," Keelan commented. "Do they also have an Adventurer's Guild? I'm dying to form connections with its Guildmaster!"
All in all, the replies of his Guild Members were positive. Lux was also very eager to start building his Guild Headquarters. However, even though the fire had been extinguished, the crater was still spewing out white smoke, so it was impossible to start the construction right away.
The Half-Elf would have to wait another day or two before he could look for a good location for his Guild Headquarters to be built.
Cethus, who was Lux's supervisor, temporarily left the Half-Elf to report to the Dragon King in the Capital City of Rex Lapis. Since Lux wasn't doing anything at the moment, the black-scaled Dragon Born decided to visit home. He proceeded to tell his grandmother about the crazy guy that he was in charge of supervising after his meeting with the Dragon King was over.
Eiko, who was humming on top of Lux's head and swaying side to side while the Half-Elf cooked their lunch, suddenly paused and gazed at the crater that was still spewing white smoke.
The baby slime blinked a couple of times before jumping up and down on Lux's head in excitement.
"Pa!"
"Don't worry. Lunch will be cooked soon."
"Pa!"
"The Mountain? What's wrong with the mountain?"
"Pa!"
The Half-Elf was confused because Eiko kept on telling him to go inside the giant crater to take a look.
"What is inside the mountain?" Lux asked as he picked up the baby slime, who was jumping up and down his head, to have a better understanding of what she was trying to say.
"Pa... Pa.. Pa..."
Eiko then told Lux that she could sense some treasures inside the crater, making the Half-Elf's eyes widen in shock.
The baby slime had the Treasure Hunter Title, which allowed Eiko to sense if there were any treasures near her location.
It didn't have a definitive range, so Lux didn't know how far this treasure detecting ability reached.
Perhaps, due to the filth that had been piled up like a mountain, the baby Slime hadn't been able to detect anything at first. However, now that the trash was reduced to ashes, the baby Slime was now able to pick up the faint traces of treasures that had been buried under garbage for hundreds of years.
Since Eiko was adamant that they go to the crater, Lux decided to put their lunch on hold and do as she said.

Wearing the Favonius Legacy, the Half-Elf flew towards the crater and used the power of wind to create a dome of air around him, shielding him from the smoke that would make his eyes water and throat itch.
Since there was nearly zero visibility, Lux's descent was very slow. The heat didn't affect him much because he was immune to flames, just like Red Dragons.
Eiko, on the other hand, was surprisingly resistant to heat as well, as she sat on top of Lux's head with a determined look on her face.
Finally, after several minutes, Lux's feet finally landed on the bottom of the crater. He looked around, but the white smoke was quite dense, preventing him from seeing past a meter in front of him.
Only the dome of air that surrounded his body kept the white smoke at bay, allowing the Half-Elf to breathe easily.
"Where do you sense it, Eiko?" Lux asked.
"Pa!" Eiko summoned a small ball of fire that hovered in front of Lux. A moment later, the small flame started to fly away slowly as if telling the Half-Elf to follow it.
Understanding what Eiko was trying to tell him, Lux followed the small flame and waded into the smoke-infested crater.
Ten minutes later, the flame landed on the ground in front of the Half-Elf.
Using the power of wind, Lux blasted the dense smoke away to better see what was on the ground.
There, he found a small purple gemstone the size of a fist that glowed faintly.
Out of curiosity, the Half-Elf picked it up and used his appraisal skill to identify it. However, after seeing the information that appeared in front of him, the red-headed teenager almost dropped the purple gemstone in his hand, which was actually not a gemstone, but a kind of extremely rare metal that would make the blacksmith's, Randolph's, eyes turn bloodshot if he saw it.

< Draconium Ore >
Type: Metal
Metal Rank: S
– This purplish ore that resembles a gemstone is very sturdy and is said to be as hard as dragon scales, making it impossible to melt unless a special kind of flame is used.
– If a small portion of this ore is used as a crafting ingredient, the minimum rating of a successful finished product is of the Mythical Rank.
– According to researchers, this type of metal can only be found in places where Dragons live. No one knows how this metal came to be.

The cold hiss escaped Lux's lips as he glanced at the information in front of him. However, before he could regain his composure, the baby slime on top of his head drew in a breath of air then blew it outwards, creating a gust of wind, making the white smoke in front of them disperse for several meters.
"You must be kidding me...," Lux muttered in disbelief as he looked at the ground in front of him.
Dozens of purple ores, similar to what he was holding, glowed faintly on the ground.
The extremely rare metal, which was said to be as hard as dragon scales and could create Mythical Ranked equipment at the bare minimum, were scattered in front of him.
Lux had a feeling that what he was seeing now was only a pitiful amount compared to what was still hidden behind the white smoke that covered his vision.
'Good thing, Cai isn't here,' Lux thought as he looked at the glowing ore in his hand.
He was sure that if the shameless boar was with him, the latter would no doubt go crazy and fight with him to collect the ores, which he was seeing for the first time in his life.
