The players thought they might encounter monsters in the tunnel, so they stayed alert the whole way.
But when they reached a dead end, they realized it seed like there was no way forward.
Soone asked in confusion, "Why did we end up in a dead end?"
Spicy Flavor Fairy looked around, his brow furrowing.
When he saw the tunnel that was blocked by rocks, he finally understood Hanjun's plan:l, "I know what's going on."
His words caught the players' attention.
The players asked him one after another, "What do you know? We didn't notice anything."
Hanjun crossed his arms and looked at him.
Spicy Flavor Fairy opened the quest information and saw that after he had just spoken, his quest interface had been updated.
[ Quest Objective: Discover the truth of the quarry
[ Quest Details: You seem to have discovered the truth about the quarry. Please share your guess with Hanjun. ]
[ Quest Difficulty: Easy ]
[ Quest Reward: 3000 experience points, Pure Mana Stone x1.]
Spicy Flavor Fairy also noticed that other players didn't get any new quest prompts, aning this quest was only available to him.
And the quest reward included a purple-grade item, Pure Magic Stone.
Spicy Flavor Fairy was surprised at his luck and felt overjoyed.
With a confident smile, Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "I think the missing miners weren't taken away by wolves, and Viscount Hereford didn't ignore the quarry because he couldn't handle the wolves."
The players eagerly waited for Spicy Flavor Fairy's explanation, "So what's the real reason?"
Under everyone's gaze, Spicy Flavor Fairy said, "In fact, it's because the giant white wolf appeared that Viscount Hereford realized he couldn't keep hiding the truth. He blad it on the giant white wolf and then escaped, leaving everything behind."
He made a clear statent, "Viscount Hereford is just a cruel capitalist exploiting the miners."
The players were stunned, "Huh?"
Seeing that the players didn't understand, Spicy Flavor Fairy explained more, "Didn't you notice? This mine isn't really a dead end. The blocked path still has wooden supports holding up the tunnel, which ans it's a collapsed entrance."
After he pointed this out, the players began to understand.
"So the missing miners were buried in the mine? But the miners's families in Ulon Town don't know this. They think wolves attacked the miners."
Spicy Flavor Fairy nodded, "Viscount Hereford didn't care about the miners' lives. When the giant white wolf appeared and the rumors spread, he went along with the rumors, made a quick getaway, and avoided suspicion. Sadly, the miners lost their lives, and their families don't know the real cause of their deaths."
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hanjun.
Hanjun lowered his arms and nodded, "You're correct in your guess."
The truth was that the miners didn't disappear because the giant white wolf had killed all of them.
Instead, Viscount Hereford had ordered the miners to work day and night, leading to many workers dying from exhaustion.
Excessive mining also caused so cave to collapse and made the miners to beco trapped in the mine.
