"And… there's a looot more rules stacked on top of that. But if I tell you all of them, we'll probably still be standing here when the moon's out!"
"Ughhh… so the gold mine's off the table, huh?" I groan dramatically, slumping forward.
"Yup." Eris giggles and gives me a playful poke on the forehead. "Gold mines, crystal mines, things like that can't be claimed as private property. Think about it. You can't exactly live inside a gold mine, right? Those kinds of resource-rich places are considered royal land—immediately falling under the Kingdom's control."
"Wait, what? So if I find a gold mine, I get nothing?!" I huff, cheeks puffing out. "That's so unfair!"
"Not nothing," Eris giggles. "If you report it, you're still entitled to a fixed finder's reward. I think… maybe 10% of whatever's harvested?"
"Whaaaat? Only 10%?!" I cry, tail bristling. "Still super unfair! I did all the work!"
