After a long time.
Land decided to take it slow for now.
In the end, the value of the Mercury Mine wasn't high enough to fatally attract him.
At the same time, leaving this Green Forest, which made him feel comfortable, was something he was reluctant to do.
The first reason being, of course, that the environment here was wonderful, full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
There were plenty of fruits and vegetables planted by the Elves.
The surrounding wildlife was abundant too—anything he wanted to eat was available. If he went to that mine, would he have such treatment?
Secondly, there was the issue of migration. The Elves and Half-Beastmen would naturally come along too. A distance of several hundred miles wasn't close, and a large-scale move would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Of course, the most critical issue was the Silver Dragon and those two Human nobles.
If he went back to occupy the Mercury Mine, those bastards wouldn't just sit back and watch.
