Chapter 63: Spirit heart
What a nice surprise for Debauchery, getting rich from just following after a "lucky bastard" three times in a row, three outings with Yunan as the lead and all three of them ended with Debauchery appraising enough treasure to bankrupt kingdoms and this time was the best of them all. For the sake of simplicity, Debauchery left the winged lizard for later scrutiny, as for now they needed to mine whatever ore is emitting so much pure and gentle mana and make something from it. The amount of mana in the room had dropped significantly after only one night of absorption by the Starheart. It turns out the vein was not producing as much mana as they though at first, they found the mana in the room was just the residual mana emitted from the vein and the kobolds made repeated use of the room to achieve something.

It had a diameter of 10 meters and was emitting a trace of light as well as the traces of pure gentle mana. After an hour of scrutiny and book flipping Balin identified the ball as a mana cluster, a residue of an explosion made by those mana weapons the humans made through the device Hephaestus gifted them. It was a testament to both the genius and the brutality of humans, as the aftermath of their weapon not only released so much mana it caused a plague and wreaked havoc in the land it also created a pure mana cluster that can be harvested and be reused for another weapon. After another hour of sorting through the ores and items in the cave, even the doors were taken into consideration, Balin with a heavy look on his face threw an apologetic look at Dustan and told everyone his plan while they were eating lunch beside the mana cluster. "After careful consideration for both current and future gains to be had, i found that we can forge a special item that can help everyone in this room grow stronger. The catch is that we have to use all the materials inside the cave to upgrade the Starheart and make it into something even more precious, however that will reduce the duration it will last by at most a full year." The solemn mood was interrupted by Lili who did a spit take after digesting what Balin said "you have a Starheart? Where is it, how come dad did not notice it, we have been looking for it for a month now, show it to me, i want
