A kingdom nestled in a mine?
Linn immediately became interested, because now the Iyeta seaport is most lacking in various types of ores.
"Who is in control of the Kingdom of [Hadrata] now?" Linn asked.
"It's the old king Bazel-Hadrata III..." Cody began to tell.
According to the intelligence they collected, King Bazel seems to be in poor health recently, and coupled with his advanced age, he may not be able to survive for long.
And the old king has not established a successor to the throne for some unknown reason. The two princes who are currently the most vocal are in tit-for-tat, causing turmoil in the entire kingdom...
"So, a succession war may break out within the kingdom at any time?" Lin En asked thoughtfully.
"No, that's not necessarily true. It depends on the cardinal's statement..." Cody said cautiously.
There were even rumors in the kingdom that it was because the cardinal was very dissatisfied with the old king's choice, so he kept delaying it.
Linn nodded, and then asked some questions about the current situation of the fleet formed by William, and then waved people to take Cody and others down to rest.
Only after Cody and others left did Orlando speak. "Dean Lin En, are you very interested in this Kingdom of [Hadra Tower]?"
Lynn asked with a smile. "What do you think Iyetta lacks most now?"
"It should be time..." Orlando hesitated for a while and responded. Now the seaport city is developing very fast.
"Yes, but there is still a lack of ore and labor...these are things owned by the Kingdom of Hadhrata." Linn explained.
In addition, Cody and others' ship experience has shown that there are more flaws in the Sea of Mist than he imagined.
More than two months ago, when he first returned to Iyeta, he sent someone to confirm.
At that time, the fog on the sea was only slightly weakened, and the visibility increased from two meters to three meters. Linn thought it was Vittorio's timely remedy, but now it seems that the power of the legendary spell that was lifted has not completely disappeared.
The magic power that originally existed in the white mist is gradually dissipating, and in the future it may evolve to the point where something wrong can be detected with the naked eye from a distance.
Lin En did not intend to just wait for the Vatican personnel to knock on the door. In that case, the first one to suffer would be the Iyeta Port.
Because this is the gateway to the Wizarding Land, this geographical location was extremely convenient when it was safe in the past, but once a war breaks out, it can easily become a target for fire.
The best plan is naturally to move the battlefield to other places, such as the Kingdom of [Hadra Tower].
This place not only has the resources they need, but also the possible succession wars within the kingdom, and the disputes between the Holy See and the king... are all good breakthroughs.
What's more important is that there are a large number of oppressed people there, which means there are a large number of people to unite with.
"So, you plan to interfere in this war of succession and support a person who is willing to support the wizard to become the king?" Orlando asked in surprise. He felt that this might not be an easy task.
Lin En didn't shake his head or nod. This might be a good opportunity to intervene, but we need to truly understand the current situation of this country to make a decision.
Of course, it also needs to be discussed by the parliament.
"By the way, aren't Master Dennis and the others currently studying the improvement of airships? How are they doing?" Linn suddenly remembered this matter and asked.
He was planning to change a method of transporting cargo to improve efficiency, so he asked Dennis and others to focus on modifying the airship.
"It should be completed in two days. The airship looks bigger than a dragon and fills the entire alchemy workshop." Orlando recalled with emotion. It looked like an aerial fortress.
…
Cody spent two extremely leisurely days in the harbor city and saw the novelty and prosperity of the city.
Especially paper and glass, Cody had a premonition of the great value of these commodities when he first saw them.
He had no doubt that those nobles would go crazy for it!
This bright and transparent glass is simply a kind of jade that can be artificially produced, and it also represents a steady stream of wealth.
A group of boatmen are particularly excited about the work in Ietta harbor, which is paid eight to fifteen silver coins per month. You must know that they risk their lives on the ship and can only receive three or four silver coins per month as a reward. salary.
In the seaport city, even the poor and miners with low status can eat delicious white bread, which makes the fire of jealousy burning in their hearts.
In the evening of the next day, Cody was once again summoned by the dean. When Linn opened his mouth, he was extremely surprised by the words.
"In the future, the trade route from [Hadra Tower] to Iyeta will be changed from once a year to once a month, or even once every half month!"
"But, Mr. Dean, there are often storms and large whirlpools in this sea of mist. It is relatively safe only on Sundays." Cody warned cautiously. He doubted whether the new city lord would I forgot about it.
"You can rest assured that I'm not asking you to come here by boat." Linn said with a smile.
Not taking a boat? Then how to cross the sea of fog?
Cody was confused.
Isn't it possible to fly?
After following Linn and others to the alchemy workshop, Cody realized that it was really flying.
What appeared in front of him was a huge ship that was a hundred meters long. It was blue and covered with rune patterns, and it looked full of mystery.
"This is the latest aerospace airship. It can carry ten tons of cargo, fly stably at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and can reach a speed of 70 to 120 kilometers per hour..."
Every time Linn said a word, the shock on the faces of Cody and others became more and more obvious, and they felt that their brains were not enough.
What is the concept of flying up to an altitude of 4,000 meters, traveling at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and carrying ten tons of cargo?
This means that they can load all kinds of goods, reach the capital of [Hadrata] from this seaport city in just one day, avoid the maelstrom and sea storms, and complete a trade...
This is absolutely crazy!
To know the whole process in the past, they needed to be transported by horse-drawn carriage on the road, and then sailed, which usually took more than half a month...
And now it only takes one day!
Cody looked at Lynn, his face full of deep respect, and couldn't help but speak.
"You must be the greatest wizard..."
