Under the pressure of William's momentum, Cody was frightened and shivered. He did not expect that the adult would be so excited.
"Are you sure this news is true and reliable?" William asked again.
Cody nodded quickly. During the few days he was stranded in the seaport city, he asked many people to inquire about the news.
A few months ago, a tragedy occurred in Iyeta, with thousands of casualties. Hellram also died in that incident. I heard that it was related to a guy called the evil mage.
Listening to Cody's narration, William supported his fat body and paced in the secret room. After a moment, he opened his mouth and tentatively uttered a few words. When there was no response, he confirmed the death of Hellram. .
William's expression changed again and again, and finally he sat back in his seat, his expression regaining his composure. "Tell me, who is in charge of Iyeta now?"
"It's a wizard named Linn. He's young. He looks like he's less than twenty years old." Cody replied hesitantly.
"That is to say, now that a brat is in charge of Iyeta, can't the Magic Council no longer send other people?" William said with a sneer.
"Lord William, I think Lord Linn is not that simple. It is said that he is also from the Sekas Empire. It has only been less than a year since he crossed the sea and reached the land of wizards, but he has shown a lot of tricks..." Cody cautiously reminded me, and told me everything I saw and heard on this trip.
An airship that is hundreds of meters long and larger than a house, a four-wheeled vehicle that can run faster than the wind, an alchemy machine that can automatically spin cloth...
William's brows couldn't help but frown, because what Cody said was so fantastical that he began to wonder if his henchmen were under some kind of illusion magic...
However, Cody soon gave proof. The airship was now docked in a manor outside the royal capital. It was with this thing that they were able to cross two places in one day.
In addition, he also brought samples of paper and glass, which were quickly presented to him, and he also explained the situation of other people's hands stranded in Ieta.
"So now our people are stranded in Iyetta and have become hostages?" William's tone seemed a little depressed. After glancing at the samples presented, he couldn't help but pause and fell in love with a workmanship at a glance. The exquisite glass goblet, reached out to pick it up and looked at it in front of my eyes.
The body of the cup is crystal clear and shines under the candlelight, making it look very dazzling.
William looked at it for a long time before putting down the goblet, and then looked at the other glassware and pure white pages. Of course he saw the value of these two things.
"I think Mr. Linn has no intention of stopping them from coming back. It's just that the airship's carrying capacity is limited, so it needs to come back in batches." Cody explained.
Since they had missed their return date during the few days they were stranded in Ijeta, and now the Sea of Mist had become dangerous again, they could only rely on airships to travel.
William didn't believe this so-called coincidence, grinning, showing his yellow teeth. "It seems that the successor of Master Heran Ram does have some skills. Even you are beginning to excuse him."
"Lord William, I never meant this..." Cody said fearfully.
William naturally knew that there was no possibility of Cody betraying him, so after a brief discussion, he continued to ask again. "What about the division of interests? Has the other party made a new decision?"
"Sir Linn said that the previous agreement remains the same, it is still 30:70..." Cody said quickly.
"Humph." William snorted rather dissatisfiedly.
Although these glass products can earn a lot of money, they are things that have never appeared before. Once they are taken out, they will definitely arouse the interest of many people, which means that he needs to spend energy to open up a relationship with money...
"Wait for the next time I transfer the goods. Please remember to tell that person for me. The Holy See has been very strict recently. I need to take more risks, and my share needs to be changed. I think half and half is very suitable... "William ordered in a cold voice.
Now that he no longer has to be controlled by others, William can no longer tolerate being like a puppet, taking huge risks but having to hand over most of his benefits to others.
After more than ten years of hard work, he is now a veritable viscount, owning his own territory. He is no longer the mining slave who had to look at others and be ordered around.
Cody hesitated for a moment. In his opinion, Mr. Lynn was not an easy person to talk to, but he did not have the guts to veto William's proposal.
After asking for a while, William waved Cody away, opened the oak barrel next to the seat, and put the blood-like liquid inside into a goblet. After shaking it gently, a pungent smell came out. The smell of blood immediately wafted away.
William drank it down without caring, and was intoxicated in the trembling and pleasure of his body. Thoughts kept going on in his mind, and suddenly he thought of what Cody said before, when he was crossing the foggy sea and found the sea. There seems to be some new changes in the fog.
Combined with the fact that the new Iyeta controller impounded his cargo ships in the Wizarding Land, used airships to transport goods, and even took back the compass that could locate the Wizarding Land, this made He couldn't help but become suspicious. This matter might not be that simple.
William pondered for a while, called an attendant, and gave instructions in a low voice. "Send me another ship to take a look at the Misty Sea!"
…
A week has passed in a blink of an eye. Recently, the Kingdom of Hadhrata has been turbulent, and the dispute between the two princes has almost reached the point where everyone knows it.
On the King's birthday just two days ago, the eldest prince presented a round mirror that was smooth and flawless, able to clearly reflect human figures, and a set of crystal clear tableware and wine glasses, which attracted the attention of many nobles and priests, and even won the Appreciation from the King and Queen.
According to rumors, the material of this round mirror is a very precious mineral from overseas. It is made by the best craftsmen in [Hadera Tower]. It sells for a lot of money, and there are very few perfect finished products. The whole world There are only two sides.
The other side was presented to Cardinal Lossac.
However, although this magical round mirror disappeared, glass-related products soon appeared on the market, attracting nobles, wealthy businessmen and priests, and became a new fashion in a very short period of time. Since the quantity is very limited, the price has been increased by more than ten times...
A finished goblet can even be sold for ten kingdom gold coins. Even if it is a defective product, it is sold for two or three gold coins. Even so, the supply is still in short supply, and it has been sold out in just two days...
