Three days later, in Glace...
Gilmore and his companions had already toured numerous places within Glace.
That day, they visited the largest mountain range there.
This range was known as the Sacred Mountains.
The Sacred Mountains, stretching thousands of miles in the southern part of Glace, connect countless peaks,
presenting a spectacle of nature's grandeur.
Within the Sacred Mountains, there was an exceptionally scenic peak called Devourer Peak.
Devourer Peak was not only one of the most beautiful sites within the Sacred Mountains, but also one of the
highest peaks.
“The Sacred Mountains are a feast for the eyes, and Devourer Peak is one of its crowning jewels. Climbing to the
top, you can gaze out over dozens of miles in every direction, taking in hundreds of majestic peaks, seas of
clouds, unique pines, sheer cliffs, and cascading waterfalls-a sight so beautiful that it's simply overwhelming.”
Alice, who was wearing casual sportswear and a cap, was a special guide hired by Gilmore and the others after
they arrived in Glace.
During the past few days of sightseeing there, it was this guide who led them around to enjoy the scenery.

As Gilmore scanned the distant peaks, he suddenly noticed what seemed to be modern industrial buildings
nestled among them, with smoke drifting up into the sky from their smokestacks.
They overlapped with the peaks of the Sacred Mountains, and they were extremely verdant. It could be said that
they were completely incompatible.
Intrigued, Gilmore couldn't help but ask their guide, Alice, “Why are there modern factories amidst such beautiful
peaks in the Sacred Mountains?”
Alice explained, “About 30 miles from Devourer Peak, a gold mining facility has been established in the last six
months.”
However, she felt quite puzzled internally, wondering how Gilmore knew about a facility that was dozens of miles
away.
Given that the area around Devourer Peak was surrounded by towering mountains, the view would typically
extend to just about 10 miles.
She had no idea how Gilmore managed to spot the gold mining facility so far away.
“| see.” Gilmore nodded in understanding.
After spending half a day exploring Devourer Peak, Gilmore asked Alice to take them to the gold mining facility,
located dozens of miles away, for a closer look.
However, she turned to him with a serious expression and said, “Mr. Reed, I'd advise against going there. The
area dozens of miles away is said to be rich in gold mines, and the company’s security is extremely tight, making
it difficult for outsiders to approach.
“By the way, | heard that this gold mine company is also owned by the people of Eldoria.
“In addition, recently, many big companies in Glace had been fighting for the mining rights of the gold mine. For
this reason, many people had because of the ensuing fight.

“However, the temptation of the gold mine is too great. Thus, such a struggle did not stop.”
Alice's knowledge of these matters was naturally due to her profession as a guide.
E
She frequently took tourists to the Sacred Mountains, so she was well-informed about the happenings in the
area.

However, Gilmore's interest was piqued even more when he heard that. “If the gold mining company is Eldorian,
then | have all the more reason to check it out.”
Alice could only shrug and say, “If you insist, Mr. Reed, as your hired guide, I'll take you there.
“But if anything goes awry, | won't be held responsible.”
“Don’t worry, Alice,” Gilmore responded. “If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility, not you.”
Alice cracked a smile. “Alright then, I'll take you to see the gold mining company.”
The group departed from Devourer Peak, heading towards the gold mine located dozens of miles away.
Since Gilmore and the others chose to travel on foot instead of flying, it took them a full two hours to reach the
mountain where the mining company was located.
However, at that point, Alice said to him, “Mr. Reed, this mountain and the four or five others behind it are all
part of the gold-rich range.
“However, | don’t dare take the risk of going up to the mining company on the mountain. You'll have to go by
yourselves. I'll wait for you here.”
