Chapter 494: Asymptosis
And I don't necessarily have to spend money...... If you do it right, you might even be able to make ......
Thinking back to a piece of information he had received earlier, Abner thought to himself:
"The most outstanding thing about Feneport in this war is their new armored brigade...... As an experimental force, it not only completed the task of breaking through the border defense line of Lemburg, but also quickly penetrated behind enemy lines, completely disrupting the deployment of the Leenburg side.
"According to the information I've got, the vehicles used by the armored brigade are not purely mechanical, but some kind of 'lifeform' that wears a mechanical shell as a camouflage,...... Of course, it is not accurate to say, 'Wear', it should be said that this creature has grown into 'armored vehicles,'.
"So instead of using a steam engine as a power, instead of coal, they need high-purity alcohol...... They're all drunkards!
"This is supposed to be the work of some 'ancient alchemist.'
"Interestingly, those vehicles are more efficient at attacking when they 'drink too much, and then they'll get drunk' later.
"And the vast majority of the drivers of the vehicles don't know this, they think it's the effect of filling up with alcohol and fuel.
"Well, now the Lemburg military is having a headache for this armored force, and if I come up with a large number of individual anti-armor weapons at this time, I will definitely make a lot of money.
"Where do you get so many weapons...... Oh, 'Morning Star City, I'm afraid it's the largest, most advanced and most efficient military factory in the world!'
"Also, the 'Mother Earth Goddess, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, are not really hostile to each other, so it is better to keep the war between the two countries as close to the border as possible......
"And at a time when the local tycoons in Lenburg are desperately exchanging their Sassen Gold for other foreign currencies, I am willing to accept Sassen Gold, and I am afraid that I can also get a lot of concessions on the price.
"Hehe, speaking of which, there hasn't been much depreciation of the Sassenkin in Lenburg so far, and I'm afraid it is also related to the 'Tower of Wisdom, insisting on the one-to-one exchange ratio of academic points and Sassenkin.'"
With a plan in mind, Abner took a sip of his coffee, and instead of talking about it to Edwina, he started chatting.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the captain's room, and after receiving Adewina's response, a beautiful brown-haired girl walked in.
She is the "Witch" Sherman, a friend of Hugh, who was sent by Abner to the "Golden Dream" after the death of Viscount Sterford, where she was educated as "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg".
After entering the room, Sherman respectfully handed a notebook to Edwina's hand, and then stepped aside, looking at the pirate general in front of him with a worried face, like a schoolboy waiting for the teacher to correct his homework.
During this period, as a former "assassin", she was keenly aware of the half-liquid coffee cup on the other side of the table, and although it was strange in her heart, she didn't have time to think about it before she heard the captain say in a flat tone, "Yes, this time I qualified."
When Sherman heard this, he didn't think about it anymore, and his other hearts were filled with joy, and his two delicate eyebrows were raised.
Next, Adevina encouraged her a few more words, and then made a new list of books and handed them to the other party, asking her to study on her own first.
After Sherman left, Abner smiled and said, "She's having a good time with you."
He had been sitting at the table, but Sherman had ignored his presence.
"She works hard, but her learning efficiency is not high, her foundation is too poor, and it will take a while to catch up." Adewina's tone was still calm, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Obviously, when she met a studious student, she was in a pretty good mood and had a great sense of accomplishment.
Naturally, the foundation of the poor in the East Side will not be very good...... However, sending Sherman here to study was really the right choice, and only by enriching her brain could she realize how naïve she was before.
"By the way, the equestrian instructor you sent is currently pursuing her." Adevina suddenly spoke again.
Equestrian instructor? Talim, right? Tsk, this son of a declining aristocrat is really related to a witch...... Fortunately, this time, he should not be re-attacked.
cursed" and died.
Abner smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention to it, only going to turn around and tell Klein, as one of the few friends of Mr. "Fool", Crane still valued his friendship with him.
After a casual conversation, Abner and Edwina had an academic discussion before leaving the Golden Dream and returning to Beckland.
……
Somewhere east of the Gargas Islands, a three-masted galleon struggled against huge waves.
Suddenly, a young man with brown half-long hair and a pirate turban standing at the bow of the ship shouted:
"Islands, there are islands there!"
Hearing his shout, the captain of the ship also came to the deck, looked up into the distance, and then said to himself in disbelief, "I remember that there are no islands here......
"This means that it is usually hidden, and only appears at certain times.
"If it weren't for that, the Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society wouldn't have offered a bounty, so let's find out here." The young man who had just shouted responded excitedly.
"Don't be so excited, the first time I went out to sea, a veteran adventurer warned me that treasure often comes with danger." The captain in the prime of life said solemnly, "And, according to intelligence, a small pirate fleet has disappeared around here."
"Captain, don't be so scary, isn't the purpose of our adventure just for the treasure? There is danger before there is a big harvest!
"And that cautious adventurer who warned you doesn't necessarily end well." The young man said with a smile.
"No, he's retired and has bought a manor outside of Byam." The captain shook his head, then changed his mind and continued, "But you're right, we're out to sea for treasure, so even if it's dangerous, we have to go to the island to see it.
"When we get closer, form a squad of four or five."
The young man cheered and was about to summon the other extraordinaries on the ship, but by this time, as the distance closed, they could already see the situation on the island.
"That...... Is that a city? Judging by the scale, it won't be smaller than Baiam!" The boatswain, who had just arrived on deck, said a neutral-looking lady after observation.
The captain nodded solemnly, and suddenly hesitated a little about the decision to land on the island.
At this time, the young sailor called out again, "Captain, there are people on the dock waving flags, let us dock at Pier 6......
"What should I do?"
The captain pondered for nearly a minute before gritting his teeth and saying, "Lean in."
……
At the same time, Leonard, who used the "Transformation Wand-Mystery" to transform into "Triss", followed the instructions given by Mr. "Tower" and arrived at a warehouse in the East End.
