Chapter 158: Clouds

With the release of the journal Runes and Magic, such scenes were repeated in all corners of the Sassen Empire, and countless mages living in towns, villages, and wilderness became interested in the previously unknown wizarding world because of the theories published in the first issue.

Some of them had a positive interest and just wanted to find Xia Lin to talk to him about this new theory, while some stubborn mages were a little unable to accept this theory and wanted to find Xia Lin to refute his theory.

In this case, the conservatives who have been following Xia Lin's movements recently also realize that the opportunity they have been waiting for has come.

"Master Forman, when you meet Charlene Karl, you should know how to do it, right?"

In a deserted tavern room in the North End, a muscular man with a goatee handed a contract of special material to a gray-haired man in a mage robe and asked.

"Of course, I'll take the money to kill people, and you guys will finish it, and I already know who the target is, but it's just a second-ring mage.

Although he put forward the theory that shocked countless archmages, for me, a four-ring mage, it was just a matter of two spells, but when the time comes, you will have to bear the anger of several archmages for me!"

The gray-haired old mage read the contents of the contract, and then signed his name on it with rune ink. After the contract dissipated into points of light in a huge wave of magical power, the goatee man nodded with satisfaction:

"Don't worry! Mage Forman is just a special second-ring mage, and we will settle it with the city guards, so you have plenty of time to slowly concoct your target, and the rest of you only need to worry about the archmages using prophecy spells to track down your identity and whereabouts.

In this regard, we have also provided you with a cherished mid-level magic piece of equipment, the Eye of Van Lin Necklace.

With this necklace, even the archmage of the six-ring prophecy system will not be able to find you through prophecy! What you want, I'll give it to you when the mission is completed!"

"Very well, I'll be here waiting for your news!"

Mage Forman nodded indifferently, if it weren't for the fact that he needed a large amount of gold and a cherished magic material for some reason, he didn't want to strangle the genius of the wizarding world in the cradle, but he still valued his purpose more than the life of a strange little mage.

Xia Lin didn't know that someone was already eyeing him at this time, after all, in his opinion, although the security in Hurgana was definitely not as good as in his previous life, it would not degenerate to the extent that no one would take care of killing people on the street.

By the third day of the two-week plan, the recruits had adapted to the changes in the training content, and the 14 Soldiers' Committee Chairmen had selected some Soldiers' Committees and set up the framework of the Soldiers' Committee.

Xia Lin saw that things were on the right track, but he encountered an unexpected thing, the gun factory did not have enough sulfur and saltpeter raw materials for the production of granular black powder.

In the Sassen Empire, saltpeter and sulphur were often used in both the dye industry and the pharmaceutical industry, and the demand was often low, so the owners of these minerals had little incentive to increase their extraction.

During this time, in order to maintain the supply of raw materials for the gun factory, the business alliance used their great power, collecting a large amount of raw materials from the empire and overseas, and even made the gun factory have a surplus of raw materials for a time, but this is only a temporary phenomenon.

When the chambers of commerce have bought all the two raw materials that have been stockpiled in various places, there are only a few chambers of commerce in the market in Helgana that have saltpeter and sulfur minerals that can continue to provide some raw materials, and these small batches of raw materials are really difficult to meet the needs of the gun factory.

In order to solve this dilemma, Xia Lin first thought of the four mines acquired by the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce before, namely iron mines, coal mines, sulfur mines and saltpeter mines.

Of the four mines, iron and coal are located in the Blue Lagoon mountain range, not far from Urgana, while the sulphur mine is located in a valley near Port Dafa, and the saltpeter mine is called about 300 kilometers east of Hurgana

On the hill of Mt. Shiraishi.

Along with these four mines, there are more than 100 mine slaves, and Xia Lin has asked Wyatt to send people to take over production, but there is no news yet.

However, no matter how you think about it, even if the raw materials produced by these four mines are not able to meet the production needs of the industrial park and the gun factory, Xia Lin simply went to visit the princess Dorothea again.

By the way, Xia Lin also urged her to make a decision as soon as possible, if Emperor Pulit died or decided to make Prince Fairmode the crown prince, how they should take countermeasures next.

If Emperor Pullet had only died abruptly, the Enlightened would have a glimmer of life, and if Emperor Pulit had identified Prince Fairmode as the Crown Prince during his lifetime, the situation would have been extremely unfavorable for the Enlightened, because it would mean that they had completely lost their name.

And the name is an absolutely indispensable part of a formalized organization, and even the ancient peasant uprising in Xia Lin's previous life, everyone knows to shout a loud slogan to unite people's hearts.

Xia Lin had already made some preparations for this during this time, but the most critical decision was made by the princess Dorothy.

Changing into the military uniform of the new army, putting on the mage robe, and taking some precautions, he took a boat from the dock of the R&D center to the dock of the North District, and Xia Lin got into the carriage driven by Long and walked in the direction of Longmian Palace.

In the street where he was not looking, a man dressed as a dock packman was secretly watching the movement of his unadorned and somewhat unadorned carriage.

It wasn't until the carriage was out of the man's field of vision that he hurried into the deep alleys beside the docks that he didn't know where they led.

When she came to the Anti Palace and met the princess Dorothy, it was naturally impossible for the princess of Dorothea not to notice the changes in the new army during this time, after all, Yin Rand and the others were arranged by them, the presidents of the alliance, to join the new army.

Although the people who came to Yin have been busy with the two-week plan for the past few days, they have never taken a step out of the New Army station, and Viscount Hart has basically never been to the New Army barracks, but they always have various ways to complete the delivery of news.

Xia Lin knew this, but he didn't understand why he had already said it so clearly to Laiyin and them, and several high-level members of the alliance still hadn't made some key decisions, you know, timing is such a thing, but it's fleeting.

"Sir Charlin, we have arranged for the increase in the production of those two minerals.

But do you really think my father would make my brother the crown prince?"

A smooth meeting with Princess Dorothea in the garden of the Antioch Palace, as soon as they met, the Princess Dorosia frowned and asked Xia Lin.

"Is there anything impossible in this, Princess Dorothea? Three days ago, His Majesty Pulit asked me if I would like to go to the North with you.

At that time, I had done my best to persuade His Majesty Pullet to give up this idea, and at least not to make Fairmode crown prince now, but to give you two a fair chance to compete, but it is clear that my efforts have failed."

Unexpectedly, the first thing the princess Dorothea said after meeting was to doubt her own inference, obviously still holding unrealistic expectations in her heart, Xia Lin explained solemnly.
