L44. It Might Be So

You opened the letter attached to the application.

"I'm Asi. According to research, a rare ore exists in Scorching Wind Desert. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to mine; only flying dragons in the desert can easily retrieve it."

"Can you go to Scorching Wind Desert and take a look around the Roaring Maw? Perhaps you'll find clues from the Roaring Dragon Whelp and the Stone Pillar Dragon."

"If you succeed, I can recommend you for membership in the Iron Stone Association."

"Asi's understanding of the ore surpasses most, but he still doesn't believe he'll succeed," Hatt said with a shrug.

"If one can obtain the ore using flying dragons, it would be quite the breakthrough. The Association would be in shock!"

"This is the very first time I've seen this kind of ore! They say it is hidden deep in the desert. No one has ever mined it before."

"You've certainly earned your place as a member!"
