In a normal archaeological dig, discovering the ruins of a civilization should be a joyous occasion.
However, they were the Mineral Race.
A species of beings that felt no emotion other than fear.
They did not create, did not seek knowledge, and certainly did not build civilizations.
Within these ruins, they also discovered the remains of past members of the Mineral Race.
These remains dated back to a time even earlier than those found in the previously discovered war relics.
In other words, these remains truly belonged to the masters of a past civilization.
Before that war, a Mineral Race civilization had indeed existed in the Thorn Stone Forest.
The researchers were stunned. 'Could they have been Abnormal Vein Patients, too?'
'Has the Abnormal Vein condition existed since ancient times? Was it just always in a dormant state?'
