Evelyn froze for a moment, then asked instinctively,
"Wasn't it just... an accident during the mining process?"
A helpless smile appeared on the demon attendant's face. He then spread his hands with a sigh.
"In truth, things are not as simple as you think. These miners belong to a race called the Orefiends. They are born from ore itself, so having them mine is actually the way they have always survived."
"Their food consumption consists of all kinds of ore as well."
Evelyn was slightly stunned. She had not expected that such a strange and extraordinary race existed among demonkind.
But she still did not understand what any of this had to do with the mine collapse.
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
A serious look appeared on the demon attendant's face.
