"Ah?"
Vilda's face was full of question marks. He then realized that his experiment data was too "perfect", causing the archmage in front of him to think that he was making it up. How could the usually honest Vilda be willing to be wrongly accused? He hurriedly took out the remaining three charging crystals and described his findings word by word.
Crohn picked up the crystals and glanced at them. At first, he was still a little contemptuous, thinking that Velda's lie was too clumsy. However, after comparing the three crystals, his expression changed. Then, he silently placed them on his magic circle. After activating it for three seconds, he took a deep breath, pulled Velda and said, "I apologize, I shouldn't have doubted you so much just now."
Without waiting for Velda to say anything in fear, Crohn waved his hand and continued, "Bring me to the place where you bought the crystals immediately. I'll take as much as you have!"
However, when Crohn personally went to Darvich's shop, he found that there was only one set of this thing!
"You said that this is produced in Efta?"
"Yes … Lord Crohn … They only sold me one box and told me to contact them if I wanted more. I thought that the price they offered was too expensive, so I didn't leave any contact information …"
"Fool!"
Crohn did not even bother to explain and turned to leave. At the same time, he said to Velda who was jogging behind him, "I'll arrange a new mission for you. Go and purchase these crystals. You must find a long-term supplier! I'll give you as much as you want! Do you hear me? "
"I'll go right now! Mentor! "
While Crohn was anxiously searching for the Recharging Crystal, more than six mages in the entire eastern part of Calen had inadvertently "tried" and discovered the power of this mystical crystal. Similarly, they had begun a frenzied purchasing campaign …
However, they did not know that a large net was gradually spreading with the appearance of the Charged Crystals in the Kingdom of Karen.
*****
Roddy, who walked out of the monastery, felt inexplicably emotional. He turned around and nodded at the temple guards who saluted him at the door. Then, he stepped into the carriage of the Ducal Palace.
Due to the existence of the titles of "Devout" and "Captain of the Templars", Roddy's status in "Rose Cross" was equivalent to that of a bishop. Therefore, he was treated with great courtesy when entering and exiting the monastery. He couldn't help but recall all the experiences he had in the monastery.
Coming here to meet with Sally, blocking the enemy's assassination at the door — those scenes seemed to have happened just yesterday. Back then, he was just an unknown scout. Now that he had returned, he was already at the pinnacle of power in Efta …
Director Benjamin was developing steadily in his own diocese, and Superintendent Rubens was now in a high position. From time to time, he would communicate with Sally through letters to express his goodwill. Rose Cross's attitude towards Efta was obvious to everyone. Roddy's visit to the cloister to talk to the current dean was also a political act of "returning the favor." Increasing the support for Rose Cross was one thing, but more importantly, it was a series of policies and plans to deal with Viper Cross in the future.
What Roddy said here was a test. He revealed the tip of the iceberg of his plan and let the abbot convey it to the higher-ups of Rose Cross. If the other party really understood, then they would send someone with real power over to discuss in detail. If he pretended not to see it, Roddy would pretend nothing happened and change to another set of plans.
After all, with his current status, it would be too formal to talk to the Superintendent directly. Greeting him in advance would be a good buffer for both parties.
The stone road in Hollier City was not smooth. Even though he was riding in the luxurious carriage of the Ducal Palace, he could still feel the vibration from the wooden wheels. Roddy sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest. In reality, he was thinking about the blueprint of the "crystal core."
Elsen City could now create "Arcane Puppets" to assist in logging. The core of the power output was the "Recharge Crystal" as the energy source. In layman's terms, this thing was the "energy engine" created by the High Elves. Compared to the gasoline and diesel engines on Earth.
The energy source of the "Recharge Crystal" was mainly the energy essence of nature or the Magic Crystal of magical beasts. On one hand, it was safe, efficient, and pollution-free. On the other hand, the problem was the lack of manpower. It was difficult to obtain enough "Magic Crystal" to carry out the production. Roddy was now thinking about how to solve the problem of mass production of the "Recharge Crystal." He believed that if he could create a project like the Three Gorges Dam to improve the energy source, it would not only be "trains" but also "cars" on the streets of Hollier City.
The improvement of transportation meant the shortening of the distance between people. This way, excess production could become real wealth. And when people no longer saw the distance between Elsen City and the capital as a natural barrier … that would be the time for Roddy to use his ultimate weapon.
However, he did not reveal all of his plans now. Everything still needed time to settle. Maybe five years, maybe ten years. But there would be a day when he would show his sword. In comparison, Milnor's lousy offense was no longer within Rody's consideration.
The carriage stopped in the Ducal Palace. Roddy stepped down and saw Duke Effeta waiting for him with a smile. Obviously, the long-term long-distance relationship had made Sally want to stick with Roddy all the time. If it was not for the formal meeting today, she would have followed him. In the Ducal Palace, Sally put down the attitude she had during the meeting a few days ago and hugged Roddy's arm.
"We've finished talking. Finally, I can let you accompany me. I've been talking so much these days that my throat is about to smoke … "
Sally walked briskly and pulled Roddy into the mansion. "Do you want to go hunting tomorrow? That's not right. It's not good to go out like this after the war. Then let's go watch Pashalil perform at the opera house. If you agree, I'll arrange for her to do a solo performance tomorrow! "
The "cabinet meeting" had ended yesterday. Now was a rare moment of leisure. So, Sally wanted to stay with Roddy for a while longer. She did not even care about the modesty of Duke.
It was time for afternoon tea. The servants had already placed snacks on the tea table in the living room. Roddy sat in the armchair and agreed to go to the opera with a smile. Then he said, "It feels like there is no entertainment for the nobles. What else can they do besides hunting, watching operas, and having parties?"
