Chapter 692: He is very lucky

Along the way, Robb kept searching for ore.

He couldn't use the excuse of "digging a hole" too often, so he came up with various reasons such as needing to pee, seeing someone walking in the distance, wanting to chat with someone, wanting to brag to Madeleine... He would use any excuse that could deceive his team for a few minutes without causing significant delays, and except for Kante complaining about him a few times, no one really minded.

On the way, he explored every vein of ore he could find. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side and the best he found were a gold and silver mine. The rest were just common materials like copper, iron, and tin, which were abundant in Westwind City and not useful for making better equipment.

That night, the vanguard army of the allied forces reported that there was no fighting ahead and no sign of any of Mondra's scattered soldiers.

The main army was relieved upon receiving this news.

The troops set up camp near a small lake, and soldiers set up many iron pots along the lake to boil their rationed food. They also added wild vegetables they had gathered on the way, and some soldiers even caught rabbits and wild boars, cleaned and chopped them up, and cooked everything together, including the entrails.

It was a huge stew!

Robb had no choice but to go...

The two of them walked through a bunch of stinky military kitchens and arrived at the main camp of the Black Earth Knights. They saw Madeleine and a group of Black Earth Knights sitting around a pot that didn't stink, but was emitting the fragrance of pepper.

The noble stew, with added spices, was, of course, completely different.

Robb and Kante sat down beside the pot, and the Black Earth Knights immediately adjusted their positions to let Robb sit next to Madeleine.

However, they couldn't find a topic to talk about. It was awkward!

Madeline could only hug her knees with both hands and stare blankly at the lake in the distance, thinking to herself, "What should I say?"

At this moment, Kante, who was with them, came in handy. He reached into his pocket and pulled out two pieces of ore, a high-purity gold ore and a high-purity silver ore, and smiled at Madeline, saying, "My lord, let me tell you an interesting story. Robb's luck is simply amazing. He picked up two good stones on the road today. Look, one is a gold ore and the other is a silver ore. It's amazing."

Madeline was surprised and took the stones to look at them. "Can you really find these things on the roadside?"

Kante laughed and said, "I also wonder that. How can you pick up such things so easily? But he just happened to pick them up. His luck is really incredible."

Madeline smiled, "Luck is also a part of one's talent! With Mr. Robb's good luck, he will definitely turn bad into good."

Robb, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but think, [Are they really out of things to say? Well, let me continue to look at the map. Maybe there are some good ores around here.]

He took out the map and began to study it carefully.

Kante whispered to Madeline, "My lord, Robb seems to be crazy about studying maps today."

Madeline said, "He's a responsible person. Now that he's a staff officer, he studies maps and strategies diligently. This is such a precious quality."
