<h4>Chapter 811: Violet Chrome Demine</h4>


    Sein’s respite in Sandstorm World was brief as he was soon assigned to a demine orbiting Sandstorm World—Violet Chrome.


    As its name implied, the Violet Chrome was a resource-rich demine known for its abundance of the special metal known as violet chrome.


    Approximately half a million subgoriborers from Sandstorm World had been dispatched by the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring to conduct resource mining there.


    Alongside these subgori miners, hundreds of full-fledged mages and roughly twenty thousand high-ranking magic beasts were stationed in the Violet Chrome Demine.


    While the magic beasts served as overseers, the mages, including Sein, were tasked with identifying violet chrome ore deposits and devising the general mining strategy.


    Violet chrome was regarded as a medium to high-grade resource. Its versatility made it valuable for crafting magic artifacts, constructing magic towers, and even building space fortresses.


    The mages from the divine tower assigned to the Violet Chrome Demine were permitted to keep a small amount of raw violet chrome ore for themselves as a perk.


    Thus, being assigned to a mission on the Violet Chrome Demine was considered a lucrative opportunity.


    Sein’s onlypanions on this assignment were Selina and Leena.


    Although Eileen was not assigned to this mission, Sein had prepared a gift for her.


    In addition to overseeing resource extraction, Sein’s assignment to the Violet Chrome Demine served another purpose.


    The Magus Civilization had begun its total conquest of the star domain where the Wild Gori World was, and the campaign’s progress was even smoother than anticipated.


    In just two years, the Magus Civilization had already upied eighty-seven of the hundred-oddplete nes within that star domain.


    Although the remaining two dozen or so nes continued to resist, it was clear to everyone that Wild Gori World was on the brink of defeat.


    Amidst this backdrop, Blue Violet Star, which had secretly allied with the Magus Civilization, publicly dered its intention to join the Magus Alliance and pledged to lead a dozen other civilizations under itsmand to do the same.


    Meanwhile, the Feral Beast Star, which had previously supported Wild Gori God and was located farther from the Magus Civilization’s sphere of influence, dered half a year ago that it would sever all ties with Wild Gori World after the Wild Gori n had lost more than half of its nes.


    Although it had not expressed any intention to join the Magus Alliance, the Feral Beast Star was now careful to distance itself from the Wild Gori World.


    In just two years, more than eightyplete nes had changed hands!


    That was a staggering number and an unsettling reality.


    This raised a critical question—how manyplete nes did the Blue Violet Star and the Feral Beast Star possess?


    Unlike the Wild Gori World, known for its relentless conquest and colonization, the Feral Beast Star and Blue Violet Star were not civilizations focused on domination.


    While both controlled numerous vassal low-level and microne civilizations, the number ofplete nes directly under the control of these two medium-sized world civilizations only numbered in the dozens, far fewer than the hundreds under Wild Gori World’s governance.


    The Violet Chrome Demine, where Sein was assigned for this mission, was close to a low-level ne known as Arbitor World.


    It was one of the few worlds within the Wild Gori Star Domain that remained unconquered by the Magus Civilization.


    This was not due to its fierce resistance but rather because the leaders of the Magus Civilization had not reached a consensus on its ownership, along with its two surrounding micrones.


    By the time Sein arrived at the Violet Chrome Demine, the matter of Arbitor World’s ownership had been mostly settled.


    Before departing Sandstorm World, Sein learned from his mentor that Arbitor World and its neighboring micrones had been allocated to the warlocks from the West Coast of the Magus World.


    Given the proximity of the Violet Chrome Demine to Arbitor World, Lorianne was concerned that the Bloodline Warlocks might set their sights on it as well.


    This worry was not unfounded; since the Violet Chrome Demine was considered a resource-rich extension of Sandstorm World, it was reasonable to assume that the Bloodline Warlocks might im it as part of Arbitor World.


    Such close proximity between a valuable resource demine and aplete ne could easily lead to disputes.


    Lorianne preferred not to rely on the simple-minded magic beast kings to handle such conflicts.


    Aside from Sein, there was another Rank Three grand mage from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, who held the title of dean, stationed in the Violet Chrome Demine.


    Lorianne was confident that if any issues arose that Sein and the other grand mage could not handle, they would at least be able to buy enough time for her to arrive and intervene personally if necessary.


    Fortunately, the anticipated conflict never materialized.


    When they first arrived, the Bloodline Warlock legion that had justnded in Arbitor World was too preupied with conquering the low-level ne and its two surrounding micrones to concern themselves with the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    It was not until three monthster after the primary resistance forces in Arbitor World had been wiped out that the Bloodline Warlocks deployed a contingent of around five hundred warlocks and twenty thousand enved creatures into the nearest resource demine to the Violet Chrome Demine—the Enigmatic Copper ne.


    Enigmatic Copper was a medium to low-grade magic material and naturally not as valuable as the violet chrome found in the Violet Chrome Demine where Sein and the others were stationed.


    However, due to the high output of its veins, the total value of the Enigmatic Copper ne, though potentially lower than the Violet Chrome ne, was still considerable.


    Lorianne had always been a reasonable mage, and astrographically speaking, the Violet Chrome Demine was clearly a resource ne belonging to Sandstorm World.


    For this reason, she sent her forces to secure it and asserted her im.


    The Enigmatic Copper ne, however, was farther from the Sandstorm World and more likely aligned with Arbitor World, so Lorianne had never considered extending her reach to it.


    Despite the potential wealth that the Enigmatic Copper ne could offer—estimated at five to six hundred thousand magicoins—Lorianne remained courteous.


    Fortunately, the Rank Four Bloodline Warlock n from the Magus World, which upied the Arbitor World, exhibited simr restraint.


    They did not challenge the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s im over the Violet Chrome Demine either.


    @@novelbin@@


    This might have been due in part to information that the Sandstorm World was backed by several Rank Four or higher magic beast kings, in addition to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    During Sein’s fifth month in the Violet Chrome Demine, just as he was nearing thepletion of his mission, the Bloodline Warlock n of Arbitor World sent a small delegation of twenty warlocks to visit the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    During this time, Sein had been deeply absorbed in hisb work.


    As long as the Bloodline Warlocks did not cause any trouble, he paid them little attention.


    The Enigmatic Copper ne was so close that Sein could see its outline in the starry sky from the Violet Chrome Demine.


    However, he knew little about the specific Bloodline Warlock n upying the Enigmatic Copper ne.


    “Isn’t it the Dragon Warlock n?” Sein asked when Empyrean, the Rank Three grand mage, called him out of hisboratory.


    “No, it’s a vassal family of the Dragon Warlock n. I think they’re known as... the Kermoine Serpent Warlock n,” Dean Empyrean replied.
