"Old Mac! What if the Shadows of the Past don't appear? Wouldn't this trip be in vain?"
"How could it be? Even if the Shadows of the Past don't show up, I wouldn't let you make this trip for nothing! One of my purposes today is to show you the Shadows of the Past. The second is to mine ore so I can craft weapons for you myself!
As adventurers, weapons are your most loyal partners. I think you understand this completely, so rest assured. The fact that you are willing to trust me makes me very satisfied!"
As Old Mac said this, a smile spread across his face.
He was already eagerly anticipating the expressions on John and the others' faces if the Shadows of the Past really appeared.
As for the weapons, Old Mac had already planned this out before they set off.
"Alright! This is it! The ore we need to mine is in this tunnel."
Old Mac slapped the lift to a stop and gazed at the pitch-black tunnel ahead, turning on his headlamp.
