Chapter 189 White Tiger Clan Secret Technique

Upon hearing this conclusion, Ophelia felt a chill run down her spine.

Seeing the worried look on her face, Klein frowned as well.

"What should we do now?" Taylor asked anxiously.

However, after a moment of contemplation, he took out a small knife from his pouch at his waist.

How about using this?

Taylor looked over and exclaimed, "Isn't that a bone knife?"

Bone knives are good for handling prey, but they don't do much damage to males, let alone the powerful Fire Phoenix Clan, which poses no threat whatsoever.

Ophelia noticed the difference in the knife and took it from Klein's hand.

She examined it carefully, and then tried to test the sharpness of the knife with her finger.

Seeing her actions, Klein quickly stopped her.

"This blade is very sharp; you can't touch it directly with your hands."

"Zereff, do you think this kind of knife is okay?"

The black knife gleamed coldly in the sunlight. Zeref picked it up and tossed it in his hand. "Is this made of iron?"

There are iron mines in the Beast World, but not many, and there aren't many people who know how to smelt and extract refined iron.

Although rare, these iron objects were not sturdy and broke easily, so they were not put into use.

The tribal chiefs' tokens issued to the tribal chiefs were forged from these iron ore deposits.

"Yes."

"This iron weapon is too brittle and has no offensive power."

Klein shook his head: "Take a look first before drawing conclusions."

Klein picked up a palm-sized stone from the ground and examined its center with a knife.

Although the stone did not break, a crack had appeared in the middle, while the knife remained intact.

"It didn't crack." Zeref was somewhat surprised.

"However, this damage alone is not enough."

Ophelia took the knife and examined it carefully. She discovered that the iron used to make the knife was not pure.

She could vaguely see small, granular objects on the blade.

"I have a way that might increase the damage of this knife."

Ophelia thought of modern kitchen knives and large cleavers for chopping bones. Such powerful knives should be able to deal with Brada.

"Do you have a way?" Klein knew that the purification of his knife was not enough, but they had tried many methods without success.

Ophelia never speaks too definitively. "I can only give it a try."

"However, this amount of iron is not enough; we need more."

This palm-sized piece of iron, once refined, is simply not enough to make a kitchen knife.

“I’ll go ask Maya if there are any iron mines around here,” Klein said.

Zeref shook his head. "No iron mines have been found near Beast City at the moment."

Ophelia was somewhat disappointed; now, even a skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients.

They finally found a way to potentially counter Blada, but now it seems they're about to fail again.

Klein couldn't bear to see Ophelia so disappointed, so he revealed the secret of their White Tiger Clan.

"Just because we haven't found it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can look for it."

"There are so many mountains around Beast City, how could we possibly find them all? And what if Brada launches an attack during this time..."

"Princess, you should go back to the White Tiger Clan with Klein." Taylor thought it over and over and felt that this was the safest way.

"Taylor, you're all here, I'm not leaving."

She's now in a situation where she can run away from the monk, but she can't run away from the temple.

Her parents and relatives are all here. If she really disregards the lives of her family and runs away alone, what would that mean?
“Don’t worry, the White Tiger Clan has a secret technique that allows them to find gold and iron mines.” “Such a secret technique? No wonder your White Tiger Clan owns so many mines.” Zeref said in surprise.

"If you find out, then the people of our White Tiger Clan will probably have no chance of survival."

Zeref choked.

This is indeed something that people from the Holy City would do.

"Then aren't you exposed now?" Ophelia's first reaction was to worry about Klein.

Klein felt a warmth in his heart when he saw that Ophelia cared about him.

He reached out and patted Ophelia's head. "Don't worry, now that I've said it, there's a way to deal with it."

"Besides, it's just a few of us here now. If it gets out, it'll be easy to find the person who leaked it."

Zeref raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you just call me by name?" Why be sarcastic?

Klein shrugged. "You said it yourself, I didn't say anything."

Zeref was furious at Klein's shamelessness.

Taylor quickly intervened to mediate. "The most important thing right now is the iron ore. We absolutely will not expose your secret, don't you agree, Zeref?"

Zeref turned his head and sneered, "Hmph. Who doesn't own a few mines?"

Indeed, each of the noble families in the Holy Capital owns two or three mines, but the scale of their mines is not as large as that of the White Tiger Clan.

The combined annual output of all these aristocratic families' mines does not equal the annual output of the White Tiger Clan's crystals.

Klein knew when to stop and didn't pursue the matter further.

He took out a leather pouch from his waist, opened it, and gently pulled out a golden gold-hunting rat.

The little mouse sniffed Klein's familiar scent, rubbed against his palm, and then stood up, bowing repeatedly with its two front paws.

Klein tapped the mouse's nose and, seemingly out of nowhere, produced a piece of jerky and handed it to it.

The little mouse happily hugged the jerky and started gnawing on it.

"Is this your secret technique?" Taylor couldn't help but think she was just an ordinary rat.

"Yes, it's called the Gold-Detecting Rat. It can smell crystal mines, iron mines, and gold mines hidden deep underground."

"This little guy actually has such an important role." Ophelia stepped forward and reached out to touch the golden rat's head.

The gold-hunting rat bared its teeth at her warily, as if subtly warning her not to come closer.

Klein tapped the golden hamster's head with his finger, his tone unusually indulgent. "Don't make a fuss, she's your master too."

The gold-hunting rat spun around in Klein's palm before reluctantly sticking its head out to let Ophelia touch it.

Ophelia felt that it was very intelligent and human-like.

"Shall we go find a mine now?"

"Taylor and I will go find the mines. You stay in the Fu tribe and let Zeref protect you."

They didn't know what Brada was thinking, nor when he would launch an attack on the Fu tribe, so Ophelia had to be by his side at all times.

Now that Zeref is here, he and Taylor can go out without worry.

"Okay, I'll go ask Kelly in a bit what she's thinking."

So the two sides split up and acted separately.

Ophelia and Zeref arrived at the dormitory for single females in the Fu tribe. As soon as they reached the bottom of the dormitory building, they saw Ali playing with several other females under a tree.

They were playing jump rope, a game Ophelia had taught them before.

They were very enthusiastic about this kind of bouncy game.

Ali saw Ophelia coming from afar and quickly stopped. "Sister, what have you been busy with these past few days? Every time I come to look for you, you're not there."

Since Klein arrived, the Laxus Rifle tribe has been visiting less frequently.

He seemed to be busy, but he would still send Ali roasted rabbit meat every now and then.

Although the two don't see each other often now, their relationship remains very good.
