"You are really not simple, Lord Leo." After hearing Leo say the underground mine pit of Miret disaster, Qiao looked at Leo in surprise. Obviously he didn't expect Leo to think of Miret all at once, so he asked with a little curiosity: "How could you think of Miret so quickly?"

"Because when you mentioned Miret's underground mine before, you emphasized that it was bottomless." Leo briefly explained, and then continued to speculate wildly: "If there was not an undercurrent under the Miret mine that crossed the ocean and went straight to the New World, then it would be very likely that there would be an underground world across the ocean?"

Hearing Leo's guess, the expression on Qiao's face turned into shock. He looked at Leo as if he was looking at an incredible existence. He even forgot his breath. After a long time, he felt uncomfortable and vomited a long breath. He asked Leo with some excitement: "Have you been underground? You..."

"No, I haven't been underground." Leo denied it directly without waiting for Qiao to finish asking, and said, "Those are just guesses, but it seems that I guessed it right. Judging from your appearance, have you been to the world underground?"

Joe did not answer immediately, but stared at Leo, as if he wanted to see some flaws from his expression, but Leo was always calm, making people unable to judge his thoughts.

After not being able to see any clues, Qiao withdrew his rude gaze, then sighed and said, "I haven't been there either. If I had been there, I wouldn't be here now."

Leo asked, "Since you have never been there, why do you have so surely an underground world, and the underground world can still pass through the entire ocean?"

"Because my ancestor Keeville has been there." Joe showed a look of memories on his face, and then he did not hide it, telling Leo what he knew.

Originally, these things were a huge secret for Qiao. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be said to Leo, a stranger who had only known him for a few days, but for some reason, maybe because Leo guessed the existence of the underground world, he felt like he saw his confidant. He inexplicably developed a strong sense of trust in Leo, and finally told the big secret that had been passed down by his family for hundreds of years.

Joe's ancestors were Miret prospectors. They would look for those minerals hidden under the rocks. With their abilities, they were not only famous in Miret, but also had a great name in neighboring countries. There were often countries inviting their families to explore the minerals.

When the Miret disaster occurred, Joe's ancestors were invited by neighboring countries to find an iron ore, which exceeded the catastrophe.

After the disaster, their family returned to Miret to find the cause of the disaster, so they entered the Zitien Mine and explored the depths of the mine. Later, because they were not equipped with enough supplies and someone was sick, they did not continue to explore, but the explored areas were still drawn into drawings and passed down.

Later, Joe's ancestors did not continue to live in the area called the Curse Land for various reasons, and moved to a nearby country to continue living until the generation of Keeville.

Keevil was originally just an ordinary prospector, with an average ability and no advantage compared to other prospectors. Many people in his family have changed careers, and he is the only one who is engaged in the profession of prospectors. It is precisely for this reason that all the information about prospectors left by his ancestors was left to him. He also happened to see the exploration records of the Miret Purple Iron Mine and the topographic map.

In that record, it was mentioned that although the purple iron ore underground in Miret mysteriously disappeared, there were still many scattered parts of purple iron companion mines in the mine pit. Moreover, due to the disappearance of purple iron ore, these companion mines are easier to mine.

Keeville found that several of the purple iron companion mines recorded were of great value, so he wanted to use this information to dig the companion mine alone into the Miret pit.

Things went very smoothly afterwards. Keevil successfully dug many high-value companion mines, which became extremely rich in a short period of time and no longer had to worry about making a living.

After becoming rich, he also made many noble friends. Under the influence of his noble friends, he became very interested in various adventures. After completing several adventures around the mainland and gaining a great reputation, he began to no longer satisfy the exploration contents that others had completed, but instead began to study the Miret mine and formulated a series of exploration plans.

Although Keevil is a novice in exploration, he is very cautious in his exploration. After learning about the reasons why his ancestors failed to explore mine pits in his ancestors' notes, he systematically formulated a ten-year exploration plan.

He first found some places suitable for storing supplies such as food, drinking water, etc. on the drawings. While exploring and training underground mines, he kept transporting various supplies to those places. At the same time, he stayed underground for a long time to adapt to the underground environment and master the ability to live underground. He trained for six years. Not only did he explore all the places marked on the drawings, but he even went deeper for a distance, and he also stored a large amount of supplies for each supply point.

After confirming that he had enough preparations, Keevil began to explore deeper into the mine. At first, he was very cautious. The journey of each exploration was not very long. Once he found a suitable location, he would go back and transport some materials to store them nearby. In this way, he slowly explored deep into the underground for several years. Finally, he passed through the entire underground mine and came to an underground world.

What the underground world really looks like is not recorded in Keevil's notes, or to be more precise, the notes related to this record are lost, and the content connected with the notes to the underground world is Keevil's experience of living in a primitive indigenous tribe.

Keeville recorded in detail the customs, systems, religions, etc. of the indigenous tribes. It was there that he gradually formed his own supremacy theory, and then he returned from the underground world to the Novat continent, and there was no record of this experience, and Joe believed that it should have been lost.

Keivil, who returned to the Novat continent, wrote his experience into a book and added his supremacy to the book. In the end, the disaster was caused and burned to death as a heresy. His book was also taken back and burned as a forbidden book. Only a few were passed down and were collected by some special aristocrats.

After hearing this, Leo asked in confusion: "Since you have Keevil's notes and detailed mine maps, have you never entered the mine and went deep into the underground?"

Joe smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Of course I have been there, but more than a hundred years ago, there was a major earthquake in Miret, and the mine passages collapsed in that earthquake. The experience left by Kiville before was useless, so I can only find another way." As he said, he paused for a moment and continued, "I used to think that the indigenous tribe recorded in Kiville's notes was an indigenous tribe in the underground world. It was not until I came to the New World and met the Pahoe tribe that I determined that the indigenous tribe recorded in Kiville should be the Pahoe tribe, and it is very likely that it is a tribe in the core area of ​​the Pahoe tribe, because in the notes, the indigenous tribe accepted tribute from other tribes, and there will definitely be no other tribes that receive tribute in the area around the Pahoe tribe."

Leo saw through Joe's thoughts and said, "Do you want to enter the underground world from the Pahoe underground passage just like Keivil's experience back to Novat?"

"Yes." Qiao nodded.

Leo thought for a while and said, "The idea is good, but have you ever considered other competitors' issues?"

"Other competitors?" Qiao was stunned and looked at Leo in confusion.

Leo reminded: "You just said that all the notes describing the underground world are lost. Why did that part of the underground world happen to be lost? Could someone have taken that part away?"

After hearing this, Joe frowned, thought carefully, and said, "Since someone is also interested in the underground world and can even take away Keivil's notes, why didn't he take away all Keivil's notes? You should know that there are still many contents in Keivil's notes that are very valuable."

"Valuable is only valuable for you. For others, only the contents of the description of the underground world are valuable." Leo shook his head and said seriously: "Don't forget that the forbidden book written by Keevil also records his experience of entering the underground world..."

Qiao immediately retorted: "The experiences recorded in that book are very vague, and there is no most important map of mine tunnels. The value of that book is simply impossible to compare with his notes."

Leo responded in a plain manner: "A book needs to be revised many times from writing to publishing. Keevil's purpose of writing this book is to make a name for himself, so he must make others believe in his experiences. Therefore, he must write the initial version in great detail, and may even be more detailed than the notes you inherited. However, later, he may feel that it is not suitable, so he will constantly delete the content and finally write the forbidden book." As he said that, he paused for a moment and continued: "If someone gets the first draft, or even the first few versions of the manuscript, then he will not be interested in the notes in your hand. And don't forget that the mine passage has been destroyed in the earthquake, so the experience of the most valuable map and mine passage in the notes is not that important. On the contrary, the content of the underground world is the most important."

Joe listened to Leo's analysis and his face looked very plain at first, and he didn't seem to take these analysis seriously. However, after hearing it, his face became more and more serious, and his brows also frowned tightly. It seemed that Leo's words made him think of something bad.

After some thought, Qiao suddenly seemed to have figured out something and said abruptly: "I may know whose notes that record the underground world are in."

Leo heard this and looked at Joe inquiringly.

"Mitra, the narwhal of the Kingdom of Rand." Joe replied.

It is obvious that Leo, who knows little about the Novat continent, only knows that the Land Kingdom is one of the strongest marine kingdoms in the Novat continent and one of the earliest countries to colonize the New World. As for which great nobles and major forces are there in the Land Kingdom, he really doesn't know at all.

Seeing Leo's deceitful expression on purpose, Joe was also a little puzzled, because in his opinion, anyone interested in the New World should know that the Mitra family is right. After all, the first safe route from Novat to the New World was discovered by the Mitra family. To this day, this route is still the busiest maritime route. Half of the islands along the route are in the hands of the Mitra family, and its maritime forces can definitely rank in the top ten among the private forces of various countries.

Although Joe didn't understand why Leo didn't know the Mitra family, he still told Leo what he knew about the Mitra family. For example, when the Mitra family was still in the sea, they hunted a giant whale that emerged from the gray fog, and the image of the giant whale became the family emblem and family name of the Mitra family.

After listening to the Mitra family, Leo turned back to the topic and asked: "Why do you think Keivil's notes about the Underworld were taken away by the Mitra family?"

Joe explained: "Because the Mitra family hired me to take risks in the New World." Perhaps it was because he thought it was too simple, and Leo might not understand it, so he thought about it and said in more detail: "My Mitra family found my father at the beginning and wanted my father to come to the New World, but my father had no adventurous spirit. He was only interested in his circus, so he changed it to me. The Mitra family also had very low requirements for me. I just needed to write all my experiences in the New World to them and support my monthly expenses. Later, even though I had the bad intention of Dahua Qiao.

Fame and their support for me have never stopped. It was not until I told them the entire story about the Pahoe tribe that they suddenly cut off my reward. Then I heard Mithra’s plan to form a large pioneering group to go deep into the jungle, and there were also rumors that the Mithra family seemed to have established trade relations with some indigenous tribes in the jungle. In short, after I conveyed the news about the Pahoe tribe, the Mithra family suddenly increased their investment in the development of the New World. Speaking of which, the Ruth Kingdom’s pioneering group was also formed by the influence of the Mithra family.”

After hearing this, Leo asked, "Since you have this relationship with the Mitra family, why don't you go to the Mitra family to join the Rut Kingdom's pioneering group? If the Mitra family really has some plans for the underground world, wouldn't it be better to let you, the descendant of Kiville join?"
