Chapter 213: Cody: You Must Be the Greatest Wizard! (Ask for subscription)
A kingdom nestled on a mine?
Lynn was immediately interested, because now the port of Iyeta, the most lacking is all kinds of ores.
"Who is the one who now holds the kingdom of Hadratha?" Lynn asked.
"It's the old King Bazel Hadrata III...... Cody began.
According to the information they gathered, the king of Bazel does not seem to be in good health recently, and coupled with his advanced age, it is estimated that he will not last long.
And the old king did not establish an heir to the throne for some reason, and the two princes with the highest voices at present were-for-tat, stirring up the whole kingdom......
"So, a war of succession could break out within the kingdom at any time?" Lynn asked with a deep groan.
"No, not necessarily, it depends on the cardinal...... Cody said cautiously.
There are even rumors in the kingdom that it is because the cardinal is very dissatisfied with the old king's candidate that he will keep delaying it.
Lynn nodded, then asked some more about the fleet that William had assembled, and then waved for Cody and the others to be taken down to rest.
It wasn't until Cody and the others had left that Orlando spoke. "Dean Lynn, are you interested in this [Hadrata] kingdom?"
Lynn asked with a smile. "What do you think Iyeta lacks the most right now?"
"It should be time...... Orlando hesitated for a moment, and then responded with words, now that the development of the harbor city is very fast,
"Not bad, but there is still a shortage of ore and labor...... These are all things that the kingdom of Hadrata has. Lynn explained.
In addition, the experience of Cody and the others has shown that there are more flaws in the Misty Sea now than he imagined.
More than two months ago, when he first returned to Iyeta, he sent someone to confirm it.
At that time, the fog on the sea was only slightly weakened, and the visibility increased from two meters to three meters, and Lynn thought that Vittorio had remedied it in time, but now it seems that the power of the legendary spell that has been dissolved has not completely disappeared.
The magic that originally existed in the white mist is gradually dissipating, and in the future, it may evolve to the point where something is wrong with the naked eye from a distance.
Lynn wasn't going to just wait for the Holy See to come to her door, and then the first person to suffer would be the harbor of Iyeta.
Because this is the gateway to the Wizarding Lands, this location used to be very convenient when it was safe, but it was easy to become a target for fire in the event of a war.
The best solution is naturally to move the battlefield to another place, such as the kingdom of Hadrata.
Not only did this place have the resources they needed, but there was also the possibility of heir wars within the kingdom, disputes between the Holy See and the king...... are all good breakthroughs.
What's more, the fact that there are a lot of oppressed people there means that there are a lot of people to unite with.
"So, you're going to intervene in this heir war and prop up someone who is willing to support the wizard to become king?" Orlando asked, surprised, he thought it wouldn't be easy.
Lynn didn't shake her head or nod her head, it might be a good plug-in opportunity, but what to do is to really understand the current situation in the country before making a decision.
Of course, it also needs to be discussed by the parliament.
"By the way, Master Dennis, haven't they been working on the improvement of the airship recently? How's it going? Lynn suddenly remembered this and asked.
He was planning to change the method of transporting goods to improve efficiency, so he asked Dennis and the others to focus on the modification of airships.
"It should be done in two days, and the airship looks bigger than a dragon and fills the entire alchemy workshop." Orlando recalls with emotion that it looked like a fortress in the sky.
……
Cody spent two days in the harbour city and saw the novelty and bustle of the city.
Paper and glass, in particular, had a premonition of great value in these commodities at the first glance.
He had no doubt that the nobles would go crazy for it!
This brilliant and transparent glass is simply a kind of jade that can be artificially made, and it also represents a steady stream of wealth.
The shipwrights were particularly impressed by the work in the harbor of Iyeta, where they were paid eight to fifteen silver coins a month, considering that they risked their lives to sail the ship and could only receive three or four silver coins a month.
In the harbor city, even the low-ranking poor and miners were able to eat delicious white bread, which made the fire of jealousy burn in their hearts.
The next evening, Cody was summoned again by the dean, and Lynn spoke with a word of great surprise.
"In the future, the trade route from [Hadratta] to Iyeta will be changed from once a year to every month, or even once every half a month!"
"However, Lord Dean, there are often storms and large whirlpools in this sea of mist, and it is relatively safe only on the day of the moon." Cody cautiously reminded him that he was skeptical that the new lord would have forgotten about it.
"At this point, you can rest assured, I didn't let you come by boat." Lynn said with a smile.
Don't take a boat? So how do you cross the sea of mist?
Cody was confused.
Can't you fly with it?
After following Lynn and the others to the alchemy workshop, Cody realized that it was really flying.
What appeared in front of him was a hundred-meter-long behemoth, all of which was blue, covered with rune patterns, and looked full of mystery.
"This is the latest type of airship, which can carry ten tons of cargo, and can fly steadily at an altitude of more than four thousand meters, and can reach speeds of seventy to one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour......"
Every time Lynn said a word, the consternation on the faces of Cody and the others increased, and they felt that their heads were a little insufficient.
What is the concept of flying at an altitude of 4,000 meters at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and carrying a cargo of 10 tons?
This means that they can load up all kinds of goods and travel from this seaport city to the capital of Haderrata in just one day, avoiding the maelstrom and storms at sea, and completing a trade ......
It's just crazy!
You must know that in the past, the whole process 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's just a day!
Cody looked at Lynn, his face full of deep respect, and couldn't help but speak.
"You must be the greatest wizard......"
