"It's okay—" Thor looked at Paladin to make himself look as relaxed as possible, and then smiled at him and said:

"If there's anything wrong, I'll take care of it, none of this has anything to do with you or the other scholars, if there's only dirt under the iron ore, then I think this mistake is my fault, it's my decision-making error. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Paladin was immediately touched by Saul's generous words, although after having spent so much time with Saul, he had come to know what kind of man this King was, and that was why he was so willing to serve his life.

But I have to say that Saul's current move once again conquered Paladin's heart.

As the former patriarch of the Dark Furnace Clan, who grew up in Worms and was accustomed to seeing people's warmth and coldness, Paladin, who had experienced all kinds of twists and turns, knew too well the faces of the high-ranking and powerful.

When a person is in a high position, it is the time when he is most likely to get dizzy and confused, and when the people around him are flattering and approving, it will become extremely difficult for this person to admit that he has made mistakes, and even prefer to continue with his mistakes on his back.

On the one hand, the interest group he represents does not allow him to admit that he is wrong, and on the other hand, the "confidence" and "self-esteem" accumulated in a high position make him unable to accept that he is wrong.

This seemed too normal to Paladin, and after discussing it with the dwarves of the Dark Furnace tribe who were good at mining today, Paladin was even ready to carry the pot himself, but he didn't expect Thor to say such a thing.

As the king of Soth, Thor was indeed different from the other nobles, although the courtiers also required a lot of etiquette, and the various salutations and greetings were very formal, but most of these were due to Diana's work.

And Thor deliberately put on a straight face every time because of Diana's presence to maintain his prestige as a king, but in private he was actually more easy-going and kind.

In fact, aside from Diana's request to Saul, the king seemed to Paladin to be a slightly "lazy" man.

Who would have thought that there would be a wise monarch who would leave everything to his subordinates, Paladin had only heard of the great kings, each of whom was so desperate for power, that he had to take care of everything and do it himself, because it was difficult for them to trust anyone.

But the "lazy" king in front of him, although he left everything to his subordinates, no one thought of betraying, and he always firmly controlled the power, which has to be amazing.

Perhaps it was the courage of him to take the initiative to take the possible future faults on himself at this time, Paladin thought secretly.

Looking at Thor with a smile on his lips, he couldn't help but have an idea.

This seemingly "lazy" monarch probably has an unparalleled strength in the world of Wotan, and it is this kind of energy that allows him to fully trust his subordinates and let them show their abilities without scruples, which finally contributed to the current situation in the Kingdom of Soth.

Somehow, the more Paladin thought about it, the more he felt that perhaps he was lucky to be able to serve under Thor.

"But no matter what the following results are, the mining of energy crystal ore must be regarded as the most important task of the Public Works Bureau at present, do you understand, Paladin?"

Thor, who took the responsibility on himself, quickly changed to a serious and serious attitude, and on the issue of energy crystal ore, he rarely kept a straight face most of the time, this was not because of Diana's persecution, but Thor really paid attention to this matter, and regarded it as the most important thing in the Soth Kingdom at present.

If it weren't for the fact that the Franco-French War was more time-critical and imminent, Thor would have regarded the energy crystal ore as the most important thing and mobilized the whole country to mine it.

But he had no choice but to put this burden on Paladin and his fortification bureau first, and wait for the end of this war before it was possible to raise the strength of the whole country to carry out the research and excavation of energy crystal ore.

But this was Saul's worst-case scenario, which was that Brunhill's speculation was wrong, and there was nothing under the iron ore.

But if the geologist's prediction is accurate, there is really a considerable amount of energy crystal ore buried under the abandoned iron mine, then Sol will not have to wait.

The scholars of the Society of Truth did not need to go to the front lines to fight, and the places they could participate in this war were very limited, so Thor still let them stay in the Desert to conduct scientific research and development.

Once the energy crystal ore is discovered, it will undoubtedly give the Truth Society a huge treasure, and this group of scholars who are trying to realize the industrial revolution of the world of Wotan in Ujung Pandang are always thinking about innovation and breakthroughs.

The Energy Crystal is undoubtedly a top priority, and it may not be possible for the Kingdom of Soth to develop an incredible technological route.

Of course, Thor is willing to fight while handing over the development of the energy spar to the Truth Society, so that by the time the war is over, there may be a preliminary method of applying the energy spar.

Saul couldn't help but think of cars, rifles, and even airplanes that used energy hedron as starting energy.

All sorts of strange technologies were so racingly in his mind that Thor had almost forgotten that he was still discussing it with Paladin.

The old dwarf was accustomed to the fact that Thor would fall into a state of sudden emptiness from time to time, and he knew that it was His Majesty thinking about something strange again.

But he was not in a hurry at all, quietly looked at the decorations around the shrine, closed his eyes, and prayed silently to the statue of Thor behind the long table, Paladin opened his eyes again, and saw that Thor had come back to his senses.

"Your Majesty—" He pressed his hand to his chest and bowed his head slightly.

"Anyway, I think you know what I mean. Thor looked at Paladin expectantly, his trust in Paladin was not inferior to Diana's, and the two most important departments in the Kingdom of Soth, in addition to the army, were the Agricultural Bureau and the Fortifications Bureau under the Cult of Soth.

And Paladin and Diana are the heads of the two institutions respectively, don't look at the current industry in the Soth Kingdom, it can almost be said that there is no industry, but Paladin's work is not easy at all.

Mining, smelting, forging and even lump textiles, dyes, etc., are also under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Bureau, and even the paper mill in Sol is strictly under the jurisdiction of the Public Works Bureau.

And Paladin has long been an old man, don't look at his tall stature, and he looks like a man with a war hammer on the field.

But the patriarch of the Darkest Furnace tribe, who led his people through the most difficult times, Paladin was never a man who only knew how to fight, on the contrary, he was the wise leader of the kingdom of Soth, and in some ways he was on a par with Morey.

He naturally understood Thor's words as soon as he heard them, and immediately nodded in agreement:

"Understand, Your Majesty, everything in the Public Works Bureau will revolve around the energy crystal mine in the future. ”
