Chapter 215: The Invisible Hydro-Powered Strategic Bomber Airship?!
Chapter 215: The Invisible Hydro-Powered Strategic Bomber Airship?!
Faced with Cody's praise, Lynn remained unmoved, shaking her head.
"I can't bear such a title. In the land of wizards, there are plenty who are stronger and greater than I am."
"Don't say that, Lord Lynn. Your contributions in the history of magic are remarkable," Orlando quickly chimed in, laying it on thick.
Lynn smiled, choosing not to respond. Compared to those who truly pioneered magical theories without relying on cheating with knowledge from a past life, they were the real greats. They were the ones who started from scratch, exploring and expanding the entire magical world.
"I have one more question!" Cody hesitated. "This airship is so large, how will it avoid detection by the Archbishop?"
Flying high in the sky would be fine since it's a tiny dot, but once it lands, it becomes conspicuous, impossible to hide.
"We've considered this!" Philip grinned, gesturing.
A wizard in charge of the airship's control immediately activated a polarizing magic.
Under everyone's gaze, the colossal airship stretching a hundred meters slowly turned illusory, soon disappearing before their eyes.
Watching Cody and the bewildered crew, as the designer of this sky-bound airship along with Dennis and the others, Lynn felt a sense of pride across their faces.
To push all data to its limits, they had put in quite some effort, especially into this invisibility function, wracking their brains.
Hiding an entire airship wasn't an easy task. Ordinary polarizing magic couldn't achieve it. To enhance the magic's power, they applied invisible beast's secretion on the airship's surface.
This magical creature had a peculiar ability. Its skin could change color based on the surroundings, perfectly blending into the environment, lurking in the shadows to attack prey.
However, the airship's size was no small matter. They bought up most of the invisible beast's secretion available in the market just to cover this airship's surface.
"I'll name it the 'Invisible Sky Fortress'!" Dennis said, incredibly satisfied.
An invisible, hydrogen-powered strategic bombing airship?
A string of terms flashed in Lynn's mind. She had heard Dennis had found a solution to the issue of the airship's large size, but she didn't expect the solution to be this direct.
If it's not visible, it won't be exposed! She could only say... Dennis truly lived up to being an alchemy master!
Lynn thought to herself, then instructed someone to bring the goods of this trade.
The main items were glassware...
Upon examining them, Cody immediately noticed most of these glass products had bubbles, quite different from the finished products he had seen in Iyeta.
"Lord Chancellor, aren't these all defective?" Cody puzzledly asked.
"We need these defects to highlight the value of the finished products, don't we?" Lynn chuckled.
Due to the novices working in the glass workshop, they always produced many defective items during casting. Melting and recasting them was troublesome; they just had some air bubbles, still perfectly usable.
So, Lynn decided to categorize these glass products into different grades: low, medium, and high.
For example, a set of glassware with air bubbles could sell for seven silver coins, while those without bubbles could easily fetch ten times the price!
This way, they could earn from every class and sell at high prices, satisfying some wealthy nobles' sense of superiority.
It was a win-win situation!
Being able to exchange a small amount of goods for a large amount of coins, then converting these coins into ores to transport to Iyeta Harbor, created a positive cycle.
The various wizards present were stunned by Lynn's overly advanced economic concept. Cody, too, was surprised to learn about the deliberate sale of defective products.
However, only monopolized items like glassware could pull this off.
"By the way, the airship's cabin can only carry twenty-five people at a time. We also need crew to fly the airship and handle subsequent maintenance. By tomorrow, you can select fifteen representatives responsible for transporting this batch of goods," Lynn reminded.
Only fifteen spots available... Cody became hesitant. They had brought a whopping hundred and fifty people to transport this cargo. Deciding who stayed and who left was a serious matter.
Lynn patted Cody's shoulder, advising him to think it over slowly, while familiarizing himself with the airship. Lynn then headed back to the Chancellor's office, summoning Loude.
"Lord Lynn!" Nearly four months had passed, and Loude, being summoned by Lynn again, immediately bowed deeply, the kind of bow that touched the ground, shouting excitedly.
"What are you doing?" Lynn helped Loude up, asking, bemused.
Loude immediately began lamenting. Ever since Lynn went to the wizard city of Greenreel four months ago, it seemed like they had been forgotten. He had been waiting endlessly, unable to get any news.
Finally, when Lynn returned, the latter had become a magical star, the actual controller of the Iyeta School.
Loude was ecstatic, feeling like he had bet right once again!
But just when he fantasized about skyrocketing, he couldn't get Lynn's audience. He sent people several times to inquire but received responses that the Lord was busy.
This made Loude wonder if he had lost his value and been discarded.
The laborers who had been following him had lost their patience during these months of waiting. Most had either entered the workshop or simply went into mining.
There was no choice. When people lost hope, it became difficult to lead them...
If it weren't for a faint hope lingering in his heart, Loude was considering learning textile technology. He heard that working in a textile workshop was relatively easy and paid well.
Listening to Loude's 'lament,' Lynn felt a bit awkward. During this time, Lynn had been busy handling various matters and finding time to study magic.
However, that couldn't be said outright. Lynn cleared their throat, interrupting Loude's 'lament,' sighing.
"In the past few months, I've been planning something very important. I wanted to assign it to you, but it's quite risky, so I've been hesitating to summon you..."
"Lord Lynn, what is it?" Loude immediately straightened up, nervously asking. If even this Chancellor found it dangerous, he wouldn't readily agree.
"I need you to do two things. First, gather intelligence in the kingdom of Hadralata. Second, monitor William and find out if he has any ill intentions. If so, 'replace' him..." Lynn spoke solemnly.
