The room fell into silence for a moment.

This silence lasted for a good ten seconds before Agatha heard the deep, hoarse voice of Bishop Ivan from beneath the bandages, “Oh—”

“…Your reaction is a bit unexpected.”

“Because your information is too unexpected,” Bishop Ivan seemed to finally come to his senses. He adjusted his sitting posture and spoke with extra seriousness, “You’re saying that the Boiling Gold veins of Frost City-State were exhausted decades ago? Is that the truth you uncovered down there?”

“Yes, at the deepest part of the second waterway there is a door, possibly sealed by the first city council. Behind that door is a mine shaft long depleted—judging by its location, it should be at the bottom of the mining site, in the enrichment area, theoretically the last to be mined…”

Agatha did not hide anything, sharing everything she had discovered underground and, during this process, Bishop Ivan’s expression visibly became more and more somber.

After a while, when Agatha had finished relating her findings, she hesitated slightly before adding, “…That is just one mine shaft, there are countless more in the mine, and even if that is the deepest part of the enrichment area, we cannot from this determine that the entire mine is exhausted, so my conclusion relies heavily on speculation… I know, this guess is too crazy.”

“…Indeed, a crazy guess,” Bishop Ivan slowly began, “after all, if according to you, the Boiling Gold mine was exhausted long ago—then what have we been extracting and shipping out from the mines for the past half-century? What about the Boiling Gold Catalyst that Frost City-State has been supplying to other cities all these years?”

Agatha didn’t speak; she knew that the problems Bishop Ivan raised were unavoidable and unanswerable questions.

Frost City-State has always produced the highest quality raw Boiling Gold and finished catalyst rods. In the past fifty years, the output of Boiling Gold from Frost City-State alone was almost equivalent to the total combined output of all other city-states by the Chill Sea—The source of Boiling Gold in the mines was inexhaustible; the mining machinery operated day and night, swallowing wealth, and the catalysts produced by the smelting factories were transported to the whole world, with ships using those catalysts scattered across the Endless Sea.
