Episode 10 Baruch Chapter 32 The Union

The largest magic crystal stone vein in the history of the Yulan Continent was surprisingly discovered by the Baruch Kingdom, which had only been established for twelve years.

“This area of the Domain of Chaos has been at war all year round, and for thousands of years, not many forces have had the chance to mine the vein. I didn’t expect such a large mineral vein to be discovered immediately once this area was unified.” Linley sighed in his heart.

However, there was also something strange in Linley’s heart.

Because a magic crystal stone vein was, in essence, the accumulation of a large number of elements that eventually materialized to form crystals. To form such a large range of magic crystal stone veins, just how many heaven and earth elements would have to be gathered? Why would so many heaven and earth elements be gathered here?

But when Linley’s soulforce searched just now, he didn’t find anything special down there.

“Not good.” Walden’s face suddenly changed.

“What’s wrong?” Linley looked at Walden in confusion, and Bebe looked at Walden as well, “Little Walden, after getting such a vein of magic crystals, you’re still saying ‘not good’?”

Walton shook his head and said solemnly, “Brother, this magic crystal stone vein is worth hundreds of billions of gold coins or even more. Money is another aspect, but the most important thing about this magic crystal vein is that it can be utilized in war, you do know this, right?”

Linley nodded.

“You mean magic crystal cannons?” Linley inquired.

The birth of the Magic Crystal Cannon was a turning point in alchemy, which made it so that large-scale magic didn’t necessarily require some top-tier archmagic guide to cast. For example, the holy capital of that year, ‘Finlay City’, had a magic crystal cannon. Unfortunately, on the Day of Destruction, even the Holy Realm Magical Beasts descended on the city, and there were also a large number of flying Magical Beasts, which caused the Magical Crystal Cannon to be finished before it could fire a few shots.

As a matter of fact, this magic crystal cannon was definitely a very terrifying attacking force during the war.

Such as the more top tier magic crystal cannons, consuming a large amount of magic crystal stones, this cannon went down. The power might be equivalent to a level 7 or 8 magic. It could kill hundreds of people at once. This was during the time of war, as long as ten large magic crystal cannons were set up, as long as a few cannons were fired in succession.

The enemy would be able to kill or injure over ten thousand people in the blink of an eye. It would be too much of a change to the war.

However, the magic crystal cannon is a ‘gold swallowing beast’, the consumption of this magic crystal stone is too horrible. Back then, during the Baruch Kingdom’s unification war, there was no magic crystal cannon at all. Because these poor places. Cannot afford to use the magic crystal cannon at all.

This magic crystal cannon, the consumption of the ground can be magic crystal stone ah. Magic crystal stones that are much more expensive than gold coins!

“Low quantities of magic crystal stones may be purchased through money.” Walton’s face was serious, “But for large quantities of magic crystal stones, those empires are all controlled and do not allow them to be sold outside. Although there is smuggling, how much can be smuggled?”

Linley nodded, military materials. Wouldn’t an enemy country let you buy them in large quantities?

Walton solemnly said, “It’s not difficult to purchase magic crystal cannons, in fact, with our national power, we can make them ourselves by consuming money. With this magic crystal stone vein, and with the magic crystal cannons, our army on the battlefield that would be really awesome.”

The number of magicians was rare, looking at Linley’s testing back then one could see the degree of scarcity.

And after becoming a magician, one was able to become a level 7 magician. Or even higher. The number was even rarer. On the continent, those who were able to set up a team of magicians could only be organized by a few empires, the Holy Alliance, and the Dark Alliance.

Linley’s Baruch Kingdom was also incapable of organizing, at most, a team of low-level ground magicians.

And ‘magic crystal cannons’. Dozens of large Magical Crystal Cannons, as long as there were enough Magical Crystal Stones. That power was in no way inferior to a team of magicians.

“Brother.” Walden looked at Linley, “You should know that on the continent, the four empires have other kingdoms struggling. None of the holy domains would intervene until the battle of extermination. If the experts of the Holy Realm don’t intervene, then the magic crystal cannons will have the ability to change the outcome of the war. If we let the Light Synod and the Dark Synod, know that we have the largest magic crystal stone in the entire Yulan Continent. Then the consequences ……”

Linley’s expression also froze.

Long-term cultivation had caused Linley to ignore worldly wars when considering issues.

“You’re right, once the Illuminati and the Dark Clerics know, perhaps the two of them will join forces to kill our kingdom.” Linley also felt threatened, back then, it was agreed that normal wars would not allow Saint Realm experts to participate.

The Baruch Kingdom, with a population of only about 100 million, would it be able to defeat the Illuminati and the Dark Clerics, whose populations far exceeded its own?

Those two parties originally occupied more territory than Linley, plus those areas were more prosperous and more densely populated. The combined population of the areas controlled by the Light and Dark Vatican was definitely as much as four or five hundred million.

“Brother, what do we do now?” Walden looked towards Linley.

A cold light flickered in Linley’s eyes, “Don’t mind too much, right now, we’re trying to find ways to buy magic crystal cannons, and also get the Dawson Chamber of Commerce to help out! And after that, rigorously and quietly mine magic crystal stones, if that Illuminati and Dark Clerics really want to come, then, we’ll rely on the magic crystal cannons to make up for the scarcity of soldiers.”

“Yes, brother.” Walden’s eyes also lit up.

Linley’s heart, on the other hand, was set on the idea that he couldn’t back down no matter what.

Soon, around this magic crystal stone vein, a large number of people were deployed to start carrying out the digging of the magic crystal stone mine, while surrounded by a large number of armies under strict guard. During the digging period, these miners were not allowed to have any communication with the outside world, but of course their salaries were extremely high.

To the outside world, they only claimed that they had discovered a more precious vein of ore.

The Baruch Kingdom’s secrecy measures could not be described as not strict, and for a whole month, there was no leakage of information. However, the light church, the dark church in the Baruch kingdom is indeed a lot of spies, Russia, and a hundred secrets, eventually let the light church’s intelligence personnel from the geological survey department’s personnel loved ones into the hands of this news.

Inside the elegant nobleman’s residence.

“One of the largest magic crystal stone veins in the Yulan continent? The range is at least ten miles?” A silver-haired youth looked at the secret letter in his hand, his expression immediately changed, carefully looking at the analysis in this secret letter, the silver-haired youth’s expression became more and more solemn.

This silver-haired youth, who didn’t look very old, in fact, even Hastings and Useno weren’t as old as him.

This was because he was a Saint Domain level angel in the Holy See. He had descended to the Yulan Continent more than three thousand years ago, although it was impossible for angels to improve their strength and their potential couldn’t catch up with humans. However, the long years had made their intelligence no less than that of humans.

Alfonso. A four-winged angel, now the leading figure of the Illuminati in the Domain of Chaos.

“Good thing.” A

On revealed a trace of a smile, and immediately instructed the henchman who had sent the secret message to leak this news to the Dark Cleric’s side. Let’s see what their Dark Cleric’s reaction is.”

“Yes, my lord.” That middle-aged man respectfully said.

Alfonso nodded slightly.

It would naturally be a great joy if that Dark Cleric’s heart moved to attack Baruch Kingdom. Even if it didn’t attack, there was no loss to the Illuminati.

“Immediately spread this news to the Holy Island, and let the Holy Island give the order on what we should do next!” Alfonso ordered, knowing that …… the big event that decided the Illuminati’s foundation in the Territory of Chaos. He was the one who had to listen to the Holy Island’s orders.

Soon –

The order from the Illuminati came.

Alfonso was not the least bit surprised to see this order.

“Unite with the Dark Clergy and attack the Baruch Kingdom, obtain at least one-third of the magic crystal stone veins, this is the bottom line.” The order was simple enough, after all, there were many that didn’t even need to be stated clearly. Since Alfonso could be sent to manage this large area, he was naturally not a stupid person. For example, try to make the Dark Church lose as much power as possible, and so on.

Alfonso smiled faintly and said in his heart, “It seems that it’s time to reply to the Dark Cleric.”

Some time ago. He ordered someone to leak this news to the Dark Cleric, and the Dark Cleric reacted quickly, immediately inviting him, Alfonso, to discuss this matter. At that time, Alfonso didn’t reply immediately and just told the other party to wait. Now waiting for the Holy Island order.

Everything, can already begin.

……

A very ordinary and unknown small city, in a very ordinary courtyard. The Sanctuary’s four-winged angel ‘Alfonso’ and the Dark Clerical Ruling Grand Elder ‘O’Casey’ were sitting opposite each other, drinking wine with each other.

“Not bad, the color and taste are all superb. It should be from the Yulan Empire’s Flowing Blue Winery side.” O’Casey laughed.

“Mr. O’Casey is also well versed in wine.” Alfonso smiled lightly, “Let’s not beat around the bush, today O’Casey invited me here for the matter of that magic crystal stone vein in that Baruch Kingdom, I don’t know what Mr. O’Casey wants to talk about?”

O’Casey glanced at Alfonso, but took a sip of wine with great enjoyment, “Mr. Alfonso, do you mind if I bring some of this wine with me when I leave? I think I, like it.”

Alfonso frowned as he felt a hint of annoyance.

But since they were negotiating, it was natural to hold back.

“Mr. O’Casey, do you want to talk about wine with me until dark?” Alfonso said in a proper voice.

O’Casey looked at Alfonso and laughed out loud, “Mr. Alfonso, I was just joking with you. Yes, for that magic crystal stone vein in Baruch Kingdom, our Dark Church does want it very much. It’s just that we don’t really want to have a war with Baruch Kingdom.”

“Don’t want to?” Alfonso took a closer look at this O’Casey.

What exactly was this O’Casey’s idea? If he didn’t want to go and fight with Baruch Kingdom, why did he come to meet with himself?

“Mr. O’Casey, what do you mean?” Alfonso’s face sank.

O’Casey smiled and said, “Actually, Alfonso, you should also understand that as long as I send someone to tell Baruch Kingdom that – ‘That the Light Cleric is ready to attack your Baruch Kingdom and has invited our Dark Cleric along as well.’ As long as your Baruch Kingdom is willing to lose some, our Dark Clerical Order is willing to do both. If it loses more, we can help you deal with the Illuminati together.”

O’Casey looked at Alfonso, who had an ugly face, “Alfonso, what do you think, then, what will the two brothers, Linley and Walton, choose?”

Alfonso was silent.

“The grudge between Linley and your Illuminati is not a small one.” O’Casey said lightly.

Indeed, if O’Casey really did what he did, Linley’s side might truly be willing to gift some magic crystal stones to the Dark Cleric, or even spend a large amount of them, to get the Dark Cleric to help them, to deal with the Light Cleric together.

The Dark Cleric and the Light Cleric, after all, were also opposites.

Alfonso knew that it was unfavorable for them now.

“Mr. O’Casey.” Alfonso looked at O’Casey seriously, “Do you know the true reserves of that magic crystal stone vein?”

“I don’t know, but it’s estimated to be several times the amount of reserves of the first magic crystal vein in the past.” O’Casey said. People who knew the true reserves were extremely rare, after all, it hadn’t been completely excavated yet. Only people like Linley, who had the power of the soul to search, could probe clearly.

And how could the Light Cleric side and the Dark Cleric side dare to send Saint Realm experts to mess with Linley?

Perhaps, Linley would simply kill their Saint realm experts.

After all, when the agreement was made, it only said that Saint realm experts were not allowed to participate in the war, yet Linley could still go and kill the other side’s Saint realm experts.

Alfonso nodded his head and said, ”Since you don’t know the reserves of that magic crystal vein, then Linley gave you the Dark Cleric’s land of magic crystals, even if it seems like a lot to you. But how much of that reserve it occupies, it’s hard to say.”

“Yes.” O’Casey admitted.

If Linley claimed to have given them half of their reserves, it would be worth tens of billions of earthly magic crystals. But in reality, it might only be one-tenth of the true reserves. After all, they weren’t sure of the true reserves, and it was simple for Linley to deceive them.

“As long as we join forces against the Baruch Kingdom, when the time comes, that vein of magic crystals, no matter how much it is, will be half for both of us.” Alfonso said.

“Half?” O’Casey shook his head, “Seven and three, seven for us and three for you.”

Alfonso said indifferently, “O’Casey, don’t go too far. Let’s go half and half, we can all talk later.” O’Casey glanced at him and laughed, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go directly to help Linley’s side, and when the time comes, I’ll be able to obtain a large amount of magic crystals with ease.”

Alfonso frowned.

“60% for you, 40% for us, in a word, yes or no?” Alfonso’s expression was serious.

O’Casey glanced at Alfonso, raised the wine cup in his hand, and smiled, “Mr. Alfonso, come, for our cooperation, cheers!”

Only then did a smile appear on Alfonso’s face.

“Cheers.” He raised his glass as well.

The two parties, the Light Clergy and the Dark Clergy, had united over this because of the vast wealth of magic crystal stone veins. This also showed that there were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. It’s just that this interest, sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s power, and sometimes it’s feelings.
