At the mention of Mystic Cave, Philip frowned. His mother and the secret vault of the Larson family were connected to Mystic Cave. To enter Mystic Cave, favonovel.com had to obtain the recognition of the nine Mystic Mines, which sounded quite far-fetched.
After thinking about it, Philip looked at Lord Ludo and asked, “Why do we need to obtain the recognition of the nine Mystic Mines? Is the Mystic Cave controlled by the nine Mystic Mines?”
Lord Ludo smiled and said, “It seems that you know nothing about Mystic City at all.”
This was blatant sarcasm.
“The nine Mystic Mines of Mystic City are controlled by the three Dragon Kings here, three each. As for Mystic Cave, it’s jointly guarded by the three Dragon Kings. Without the tokens from the mines under their names, you won’t get the chance to enter Mystic Cave.”
Hearing this, Philip asked, “What’s inside Mystic Cave? Why enter it?”
Lord Ludo smiled and said, “You have many questions. No one knows what’s inside the cave. All I know is that anything brought out of the Mystic Cave is an invaluable treasure, and quite a few people brought out things that don’t belong to this world. Most have been taken away by the Nonagon and the Supernatural Bureau. Only a small portion of those can be found in the secular world.”
The Nonagon and the Supernatural Bureau?
Philip frowned and looked at Fennel beside him.
Fennel shook his head to indicate that favonovel.com was unaware of this. He said, “I haven’t heard of this. Few people know about Mystic City in the first place. Unless they have cooperation with Mystic City, I think most people wouldn’t even know that this place exists.”
Philip thought for a while, looked at Lord Ludo, and asked, “Are these things also related to the treasure of the ancient sage that’s about to appear?”
Lord Ludo said lightly, “The treasure of the ancient sage comes from Mystic Cave. Now that Mystic Cave has been sealed off by the three Dragon Kings, no one can enter unless they get their entry token.”
“So based on what you have said, if the major families and forces want to enter Mystic Cave in the following days, they have to go to any of the nine Mystic Mines to carry out the so-called stone gambling and gain their recognition?” Philip asked.
Lord Ludo shook his fan and said, “That’s right. This is also an alternative way of boosting the jade business here and developing the economy. This was the Second Dragon King’s idea.”
So that was how it was. It was a plot of commercial interests.
After thinking about it, Philip turned to Fennel and the others and asked, “What do you think?”
Fennel said, “It looks like we have to go in. Although we came here to look for the Lovelace family ruins this time, it seems that all the families and forces are connected to this Mystic Cave. Maybe the Lovelace family will also appear at that time.”
Philip nodded and said to Lord Ludo, “I have to trouble you, then.”
Lord Ludo snorted coldly and said, “What a nuisance.”
After that, they crossed the street and arrived at the largest jade quarry in Mystic Mine Three, Glenrock Den.
It was the largest jade-producing area in Mystic Mine Three and the most popular place selling jade.
Before Philip and the others went in, they saw an endless stream of people at the doors. They were all wealthy people dressed quite spectacularly. Two rows of sexy women were pole-dancing at the door to attract the guests around.
