Chapter 554: Departure to Minsk
Although the freezing rune trap is not the strongest among the rune traps created by Leo, it is the most practical, because this rune trap not only contains the freezing witchcraft created by Leo himself, but also the freezing witchcraft created by Leo himself.
Added the effect of the Seal of Arden in the Witcher Seal.
In other words, this freezing rune trap not only has the ability to physically freeze prey, but also includes those non-material strange beings within its attack range, such as spiritual bodies, energy bodies and the like.
Leo has researched and created many rune traps during this period, many of which are stunning works, and of course more are some imaginative failures. However, among all the rune traps created, there are only a few types of rune traps.
Able to maintain stable performance.
One is to create the rune trap of the mirror world that night. This kind of rune trap can be used in conjunction with the Turing root and its patterned magic circle to create the kind of mirror world magic. This kind of rune trap is the supporting equipment of the magic circle.
, it cannot be used alone, and Leo felt that this kind of rune trap still had great potential for development, so he did not use it as a commodity.
As for the freezing rune trap, it is a mature rune trap. It can be said that its potential has been fully explored. No matter how powerful it is, it can not be much more powerful. It can perform stably and is simple to make, so it was sold by Leo.
.
The main reason why Leo sells the freezing rune trap is that he doesn't have much psychic material left on hand that can be used for experiments. Due to several experiences in the past, he has accumulated a large amount of psychic material in his storage space.
He felt that he wouldn't have to worry about this for a long time.
What he didn't expect was that as his psychic level increased and all kinds of occult knowledge accumulated, the number of psychic experiments that needed to be done also increased significantly.
During this time in the Kingdom of Yinge, he spent most of his time doing various experiments related to witchcraft and psychic energy. Naturally, the consumption of psychic substances far exceeded expectations.
He noticed this problem very early, so he would also buy some psychic substances while selling wizard potions on the black market.
It's just that the black market in the Kingdom of England is no better than the black market in other places. Although the black market here can exist in various cities in the kingdom in a semi-public manner, the kingdom's monitoring and control here is naturally much stronger than in other places, and the kingdom is also
The largest customer of the black market, most of the psychic substances and other good things flowing into the black market have been bought by the kingdom before they can be displayed.
If Leo wants to get more psychic substances, the best way is to buy them from the official. However, even the official will not sell this kind of psychic substances easily, whether it is used to make special bullets or other things.
As for psychic items, the official is also very loyal to this type of items. Without some good stuff, it is difficult to buy psychic items from the official.
As for why wizard potions are not used as commodities for trading psychic substances, it is simply because he is worried that the kingdom officials think that the psychic substances he trades are necessary for making wizard potions. In this way, he has created a trap for himself in the black market.
Competitors, and the kind with deep pockets.
Leo was very confident in the rune traps he had come up with. In fact, this was indeed the case. On the same afternoon, Frank Forson and the old wizard Otto found him one after another and ordered a batch of such rune traps.
However, Frank Fossen and the old wizard Otto obviously have different emphasis on the use of this rune trap. Frank Fossen hopes that the freezing effect can be stronger, and it is obvious that he pays more attention to the physical freezing effect.
, and the old wizard Otto directly asked Leo if there was a stronger rune trap that could act on the spirit or extraordinary power, or if the freezing trap could be enhanced to target the part of extraordinary power.
Leo could indeed easily change a few Turing roots of the freezing trap so that the effect of the trap could be changed according to the two people's wishes, but he did not do so immediately, but vaguely stated that such changes would take some time.
Can't do it.
The final result was that while both parties ordered a batch of rune traps from him, they also took the initiative to donate a large sum of psychic materials to Leo for research on the traps needed by both parties.
Leo did not refuse these donations, nor was he embarrassed at all. The next time he traded rune traps with the two of them, he only needed to come up with rune traps that met their needs.
After these purchases of psychic substances, Leo's storage space was filled up again, which was enough for him to use for a long time, and he also discovered some little secrets from these psychic substances.
For example, the Royal Family of England should have a stable source of psychic material, and it comes from the sea, because all the psychic materials taken out by the old wizard are the remains of some marine creatures.
As for the types of psychic substances that Frank Forson brought out, there were many types, such as bones, wood, feathers, refined oils, etc., but the only one of these psychic substances that Leo paid special attention to was the refined oil.
The most commonly used oils in this world are tree oils and animal oils. I don’t know if it’s because the chemical element composition of this world is different from other worlds. The oils in this world have very poor temperatures after being ignited and evaporation speeds, making them incompatible with other worlds.
Compared with wood, most oils are used as mechanical lubricants, and only very poor people use oil lamps.
However, the bottles of refined oil containing special energy that were traded in Leo's hands now can exert the effects of normal oils in the universe, and with the injection of spiritual energy, this effect can be doubled.
From the shape and material of these bottles, as well as the inspection of the refined oil through the Spiritual Network, it is not difficult for Leo to see that these oils are mass-produced products, so either the Special Bureau has mastered a method that can produce psychic oil.
Either the Special Bureau has a material that can make psychic oil.
Compared to methods, Leo believed that the Special Bureau must have mastered a certain raw material, and the output of this raw material did not seem to be high, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to fail to see the value of this oil.
After Leo completed the transaction, he stayed in the royal capital for another day to thoroughly read the seminary construction information that he had not completely read before. Then he took a boat directly to the sea from the Welsh River, and then transferred to a shipping vessel.
Returned directly from the sea to the Port of Sète.
Although Leo left the Port of Set for a while, nothing unusual happened here. Everything is still the same. If there is any change, it is that the factories that Leo invested and acquired received orders from the navy in the past two days.
A large number of orders for mechanical parts used in battleships have begun to make profits.
When Leo learned the good news from the steward, he couldn't help but frowned. If it was an order from other kingdom's administrative units, Leo would not have any reaction, but these orders were from the navy, so this made him
I couldn't help but have other thoughts. There was no doubt that Anderson Lehman, who was in a semi-retired state, already knew his identity and knew that he was not a Special Bureau agent at all.
However, Leo was not worried that Anderson Lehman would retaliate against him for the incident that led to his retirement. On the contrary, this huge order for mechanical parts was more like an act of goodwill.
Leo did not intend to get involved in the power struggle of the military, so he did not give special care to these orders. He just asked the directors of several manufacturing plants to pay attention to the quality of these military parts.
After that, Leo found Jason and Matthew and briefly told them what happened in Durin City and gave them some suggestions.
Regarding some of the political changes in Durin City in recent days, Port of Set has also been discussing a lot. Whether it is the assassination of naval heroes, or the resignation of high-level officials and parliamentarians, etc., the hearts of everyone in Port of Set are concerned, because
If the political situation changes in the capital, the aftermath will naturally spread to the entire Kingdom of England, and Port Set will be inevitable by then. Therefore, the powerful here will prepare early and wait for the political situation to change, so that they can survive this change.
To protect or to make a profit.
Neither Jason nor Matthew expected that this matter would be related to Leo. Although they were shocked, they also understood Leo and why Leo would have such a suggestion.
Jason followed Leo's advice without hesitation and said that he would submit a leave application to the Special Bureau branch when he returned. At that time, he would take his wife and several subordinates to travel for a while.
As for the Matthews, the construction of the Kingdom Medical College is in their hands. If they leave, these things must be entrusted to someone worthy of their trust. Otherwise, these things can only be suspended. The problem is that they do not
There is no one trustworthy with these things.
So after hesitating for a while, Matthew and his wife decided to stay here to see the political changes in the capital. However, they did not completely reject Leo's proposal. They still made other preparations if the situation arises.
If something is wrong, you can go abroad to avoid the domestic power struggle on the pretext of finding suitable teachers for the Kingdom Medical College.
After meeting with Jason and the others, Leo spent two days dealing with various investment matters, specifying the direction of the factory's development, and leaving a drawing of a mechanical timing device to be used as a new model for the factory in the future.
product, and then asked the butler to book an ocean ticket to the Minsk mainland.
Starting from the mainland of the Kingdom of England, there are three routes to the Minsk continent. One is to go around the east coast of the Velen continent from the north to reach the great port of Reston in the north, sail east for one day to reach North Iceland, and sail along the south coast of North Iceland.
Sail to the end of the east side and sail for two more days to reach the northern kingdom of Minsk mainland, Dalyat.
This route is an ancient route and has been in operation for thousands of years. It can be said to be extremely safe. As long as the ship does not seek death by itself and collide with the drifting iceberg, there is almost no danger of shipwreck.
However, with the feud between the Kingdom of England and the Empire of France, this route has also been affected and has basically been stopped.
In addition to this route, there is another route that also goes north, but it starts from Vinaya Port, passes through the northern waters of the Starfall Sea, and goes eastward along the Pearl Island Chain that the Kingdom of Sigmar mastered in its early years, arriving at the easternmost Sigma.
King's Port controlled by the kingdom, and then driving northwest for about five days, you can reach the southwest coast of the Maris Kingdom.
This route is also the shortest route, shortening the flight distance by two-thirds and the time by more than two-thirds than the ancient route. It only takes less than ten days to reach the mainland of Minsk.
But the problem is that the pearl island chain on this route has complex water patterns and numerous underwater reefs. In addition, after being separated from the control of the Kingdom of Sigmar, it has become a no-nonsense zone. This has become the last paradise for pirates. Unless you sail from here, you must have a very powerful one.
escorted by an armed fleet, otherwise it will be robbed by pirates.
As for the last route, it passes through the Gem Island Chain and the Golden Sea in the southern waters of the Starfall Sea, to Blackadder Island, the easternmost colonial island of the Kingdom of England, and then sails north for six to seven days to reach the southeastern side of the Kingdom of Maris.
coastline.
This route is the latest route to appear. In the early years, pirates were rampant and the level of danger was no less than that of the Pearl Island Chain in the northern seas. However, as the Kingdom of England became the maritime overlord, it began to clean up the pirates in this island chain and build islands.
Chain colonies and dredged navigation routes have now become one of the safest ocean routes.
However, the only problem with this route is the weather. The weather here is very changeable. It may be cloudless one moment, and it may become a violent storm the next moment. Moreover, due to the location of the island and the ocean currents, the water patterns here are complicated.
It is more complicated than the Pearl Island Chain, and if you are not careful, you may be taken away from the course by the ocean currents.
In the entire Velen world, only five ocean shipping companies have the ability and qualifications to operate on this route that is completely controlled by the Kingdom of England. Two are local companies from the Kingdom of England, and the other three are from three continents.
The largest shipping company.
The shipping company that Leo will board is a local shipping company in the Minsk mainland, called Aurora Shipping. The boss behind this shipping company is also a famous figure in the world of Velen, the Ice Queen Leah of the Northern Ice Kingdom of Dalyat.
·Winenstein.
The reason why Leo chose this ocean liner was not only because it was the only ship that would continue northward after arriving at the Minsk mainland in the past month, but more importantly, it was the only sailing ocean liner, and it was a
Psychic wonders.
This was Leo's first time seeing such a large psychic wonder. When he first saw the obvious Turing roots on the surface of the ship and felt the psychic energy fluctuations emanating from the material of the ship's hull,
I almost thought I was delusional, and I couldn't help but wonder, after all, what kind of extravagant person would it take to use so many psychic materials to create such a magical object?
However, he didn't need to bother to inquire too much. This high-roller who surprised him had already found out clearly that the Snow Queen Leah Venestan was a special being who ruled a kingdom as a witch.
