Shaman from Afar

Vol 3 Chapter 13: Depart again (on)

Loren looked at the excited face in front of him, and even some devious dean, silent for a long time.

The other party's answer did not meet his expectations. Even when he saw the huge amount of material "blacklist", the dark-haired wizard thought that this might be the result.

First and foremost, the Imperial Legion in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain is indeed actively preparing for the battle, and the furnace town, which provides the armament, has also received a lot of orders; this proves that Connor de Salion did not lie, or it seems that It's not like lying.

At least in this matter, the Dean of the Furnace Academy is indeed as blameless as he has shown, and even quite dedicated-from Brandon to arriving here, the furnace town has completed two fortresses of the Forbidden Mountain The army's supplies, various ammunition, swords and arrows can persist for at least four battles.

Under such high-intensity work requirements, various accidents and workshop explosions appear, and it seems that it is not something weird.

"Not only the furnace town, but since three months ago, the entire Prince of Sarkland has called His Royal Highness Connold's order to start preparing for the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain." The Dean's expression was very serious: "If you and your Highness continue You can see it northwards-almost all towns are hoarding supplies, and villagers in small villages are also gathering in nearby villages and castles. "

"Most of the people led by Prince Sacran know that the army of demons is coming!"

"Most of the Prince of Sackland?" Loren frowned slightly. "If those enemies really invade, shouldn't the entire Sackland empire be prepared to fight?"

"The entire Sacrament Empire? Ha ha ha ..." The Dean just sneered and shook his head: "Only you southerners can say this!"

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, you listened well-from the day the Fortress of Forbidden Mountain was erected, the invasion of the monster army never stopped!"

"Or a few hundred, or a thousand, constantly crossing the border of Invasion Sakran across the Boundary Mountain, and they can't be stopped by a fortress alone; otherwise why are there still two imperial legions stationed on the border ?! "

"It turns out this way ..." The black-haired wizard suddenly realized: "I thought it would be necessary to gather the strength of the whole empire to repel the enemies in the north."

"It ’s not without it. His Highness Brandon I of the sixth generation once dominated the six imperial legions and two dragons, plus the strength of the four principalities totaling 50,000 troops, and fought in the ice desert valley north of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. The monster going south. "

Thinking of the previous story, the Dean could not help but sigh for a while: "A whole army of 50,000, when they return home, there are only two or three thousand people left; the two princes stayed on the battlefield, and a dragon died. There, even His Majesty Brandon I survived and died of illness two years later. "

"Ice Barren Valley, also renamed the Blood Skeleton Valley."

"Before the crash, the dying Majesty Brandon enacted the final law, so that the princes of the empire must regularly send troops to serve in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain. But this order was made when Brandon I was about to die, It ’s not taken seriously, only the Friedel family of Lothal and the Wiltz family of Ellermand have always insisted. ”

"And your ancestor of the" famous name ", Duke Roland Turin of the Principality of Byrne, also played on the Boundary Hill."

After talking, the dean sneered: "But whether it is famous or notorious, it is not easy to say-your Turin family lost the Principality because of this amazing" Duke Black "!"

Without saying a word, Loren sat there, quietly watching the excited Dean of the Dean, whispering and splashing stars, waiting for his performance to end.

"Did you finish?" The black-haired wizard said coldly when he stopped. "Since it's finished, should I explain to you the fake account?"

The Dean's expression is ugly-originally thought that he could use sympathy with the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain to gain some sympathy, and hoped that after a while, he would like to use Roland Turin's things to stimulate this guy and make him happy.

Unfortunately, both failed.

Just as when replying to Brandon, the Dean ’s answer is basically the same as what Loren expected-the reason why there are such a large amount of fake accounts is that in addition to Connor ’s “black gold”, it is more important because Another force.

Holy Cross Church.

As the dean and every alchemist in the Forge Academy boasted, the Forge Academy in Forge Town was the only two places in the empire that could smelt and forge Mithril. And this rare and very precious metal has been proved to have a good restraint effect on various mutations caused by the force of the void.

That being the case, how can the Holy Cross Church, which upholds the orthodox philosophy, allow this rare metal to escape its control?

What's more important is that the mitral silver cannot be dropped into the hands of ordinary people, especially wizards-because of its neutralizing properties, this rare metal can also be used as the core of alchemy items, or used to compile Carving runes to make magic wands is absolutely unacceptable to the church.

The first step is the absolute embargo against Mithril;

It ’s not difficult to do this. After all, the Mithril itself is very rare. The Desalion family also hopes to control it under the control of the royal family. At least it ca n’t flow out of the Palau and East Saklan in large numbers; therefore, even Ebden The wizards are willing to pay high prices, and there is still very little Mithril available.

But this is still not enough. After all, the Mithril Mine is in the hands of the dwarves, and the church cannot convince the empire to fight a friendly ally for the Mithril, especially when surrounded by enemies; and from the dwarves to the Palau, It will definitely pass through the Principality of Byrne in the south, and it will definitely be wiped with oil.

So the second step is to sacred or "noble" the Mithril-only knights who are blessed by the Holy Cross Church, or who want to take the oath of the Holy Cross, will be eligible for a Mithril weapon ;

This raises the threshold for obtaining Mithril, considering that almost the entire aristocratic class of the empire is a believer in the Holy Cross, it is not difficult to achieve this, and at the same time almost completely cuts off the possibility of the wizards getting Mithril, after all, no one Will believe in the piety of a wizard.

But even if this is not possible, you can only start from the root.

That's right, in the furnace town, and even in the furnace college-the church here was built opposite the college, basically to monitor the actions of the alchemists here.

It is a very dangerous thing to be identified as a hypocrite in the land of the Holy Cross faith in East Sacran, especially for the wizards here.

Not to mention the attitude of the priests to the wizards here, and their greed-what is the face of the basic church in Lotel, the priests led by Prince Sacran will only intensify.

In the face of decades of daily exploitation by the Holy Cross Church, the “rebellious means” of the Furnace Academy is to make false accounts.

With the account of the running account, which only looks at the results and not the process, the Furnace Academy successfully hides the eyes of the local church, and without their consciousness, the original large amount of Mithril ore that would originally flow into the hands of the church was intercepted. Down, sealed in the warehouse.

Of course, no matter how concealed they are, it is impossible to conceal the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, because the amount of materials available cannot be faked; so the seemingly rough and attentive dean chose to cooperate with Connor and deceived the church. At the same time, he provided a large amount of "black gold" that would not be traced by the Crown Prince.

As a "return", Connor also brought more orders for the furnace town-this is not very difficult, after all, the two legions are stationed in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, even if it is only required for patrols and regular search tasks A lot of materials and logistics.

Of course ~ www.readwn.com ~ there is an easier way, that is, all these materials are "accidentally" lost.

According to the dean of the Forge Academy, he used the news of the northern invasion to deliver two batches of supplies to the front and back of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, and in the end they were all “unfortunately missing”, considering that the north of the Prince of Sacran is now in chaos. The robbery of materials also happened from time to time.

But in fact, those weapons or armaments haven't left the warehouse of the furnace town from the beginning. As long as the turnover is proper, they can be turned into eye-catching gold at any time.

This is the dean's final confession, elaborating on his criminal experience, and the account books and files are also made by him. Anyone who sees this confession will not hesitate to believe that he is the culprit.

And everything about Connold and Holy Cross Church has been erased ...
