"I understand, Master Linn." Lauder said seriously.
Although both of these things are difficult, he knows better that only by showing enough value can he regain trust, rights and attention.
"But..." The second after Lauder patted his chest in assurance, he changed his expression and looked at Lin En eagerly. "William has been operating in the Kingdom of Hadhrata for many years and his power is stable. With the current finances and manpower of the [Ship Gang], it may be difficult to penetrate in a short time..."
Lauder said carefully, the meaning was very simple, he wanted people and money!
But even if someone has money, it is not easy to do this.
"You don't need to worry about any of this, I've already planned it for you." Linn said with a smile.
He didn't know how powerful William was, but one thing was certain. The one hundred and fifty people who came to the wizard's land were the other party's confidants, so they could be sent to carry out such a secret mission.
Therefore, Lin En used the reason that the number of people on the airship was limited at one time, so he left most of the people in Iyetta and sent them back in batches when transporting goods in the future.
Taking advantage of this period of time, he could mix some sand into the more than 100 people, and through the temptation of interests or even magic, make some people become his informants and monitor William.
They are bound to know a lot of information about William and the Kingdom of Hadhrata...
Under Lin En's constant talk, Lauder shivered inexplicably, and couldn't help but recall the man who easily captured him from his hiding spot in the Sekas Empire and killed the archbishop and thousands of elites by himself. The boy from the guard.
It was at that time that Lauder had the idea in his mind that he must not go against the other party.
Too insidious and too scary...
"Also, bring this thing with you!" Linn took off the [Ring of Secret Magic] from his index finger and handed it to Lauder.
Lauder took it with a confused look. He could tell that it was a magic item, but he didn't know what it did.
"You can use it to command the wizards I sent over. It is also blessed with a protective magic that can protect your safety at critical moments." Linn explained.
That magic is naturally the four-ring magic he has just mastered - [Advanced Projection]!
In other words, with the help of this ring, he can understand what is happening on the other side at any time, and if necessary, appear directly as the incarnation of consciousness.
Since the medium of the spell is the [Ring of Secret Magic], he can also mobilize the magic power of the magic network to a certain extent and maximize his original strength.
Of course, it is okay to deal with some bishops or official wizards, but it will be difficult to compete with a cardinal.
An incarnation cannot mentally connect through the magic network...
Lauder put the ring on his hand very solemnly and said decisively. "Master Lin En, please rest assured that I will complete the tasks you assigned as soon as possible!"
Since the other party has made arrangements, there is nothing to worry about...
After handing Lauder 500 imperial gold coins found in the gold exchange as reserve funds, Lin En waved his hand and signaled the other party to quickly gather people and set off tomorrow.
Lauder said goodbye very respectfully and left, while Linn took out the map he got from Cody and looked at it.
[Hadera Tower] The kingdom is located on the border of the Sekas Empire, surrounded by mountains and seas. The straight-line distance from the seaport of Iyetta is only 1,500 kilometers. In other words, if the airship is not loaded with heavy objects, it will be very difficult for the airship to travel at full speed. It can be reached in half a day.
The distance by ship is not too far, about ten days.
Because of this, Lin En is very concerned about William. After all, this is a very critical moment. Once the other party has undue thoughts because of Helllam's death and chooses to seek refuge in the Holy See, they are unprepared. The consequences could be disastrous……
So it’s better to prepare early.
But as an easy-going person, Lynn still gave the other party a chance.
He deliberately let Cody stay at the Iyeta seaport for a few days to show off his strength, and then offered him trade in glass products as a benefit, just to let the other party know that if he continued to follow him, he would only get a lot more benefits than before!
If this combination of punches comes down and William still doesn't understand current affairs and wants to do some tricks secretly, then he can only 'replace' the opponent!
…
The next day, in the morning, in the alchemy workshop of the Iyetta School, Linn, Philip, Dennis and others watched the huge airship take off into the sky and fly away.
This spectacular sight soon attracted the attention of passers-by. They had often seen airships in the past, but they were too big.
"Master Dennis, how are you? Are you used to staying in Iyeta during this period?" Linn turned to look at Dennis aside and asked.
"Very good, very good!" Master Dennis nodded with great satisfaction.
In the first few days, he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was quickly attracted by the drawings given by Lin En and devoted himself wholeheartedly to research, especially the ideas of magic trains and iron-clad giant ships, and even more. It fascinated him immensely.
"That's good!"
Linn smiled, then his expression became serious again, and he asked Orlando. "Hasn't the cargo ship from Vicnir arrived yet? It's been half a month since Sunday, right?"
"According to the usual situation, we should have arrived a long time ago." Orlando was also a little confused, but quickly said comfortingly.
"This was also the case in the past few years. After all, Vicnir is the capital of the Sekas Empire. It is not easy to smuggle goods. It may be that the Holy See or the Empire have been very strict recently, so for the time being, Abandoned this shipping trip.”
"Then is there any way to contact him?" Linn asked again.
Orlando shook his head hesitantly. Master Hellram might have had a way to contact the other party in the past, but he did not tell them this method.
Although Lin En was a little worried, he had no choice but to give up. Vicnir was no better than [Hadra Tower]. Apart from the Holy City, it was the place where the Holy See had the strongest power. It was necessary to think long term and send people to investigate at will. Maybe it would Counterproductive.
With this worry, Linn returned to the magic workshop and immediately received good news.
"Dean Lin En, we have already made the musket you mentioned!"
Lydia almost jumped out, holding a taller than herself, weird-looking musket with complicated patterns engraved on the surface, and handed it to Linn's eyes.
