sulfur.
The first thing Sean could think of was the material for making gunpowder, which was too sensitive after all. If it was another industrial product, there would be no need to bring it in so late.
Just as the wizard said just now, guns are a bold attempt, but in fact the entire industry is a new attempt for this world. If it were not in a city like this, other remote towns would not understand it at all.
There aren't many restrictions on industry in this world, so the other party probably did it so quietly because they didn't want anyone to know.
"Lord Gunpowder Weiger suddenly asked this?" Esmeralda asked curiously.
"For example, where did the gunpowder bullets for Scovi's musket come from?"
"Most of them are made in our factory, but we can't make some of the sophisticated ones and need to purchase them from outside. We place orders with them almost every year." Esmeralda said as she took out a small wooden box from under the counter.
When you open it, you'll see various types of gunpowder bombs.
The sizes and shapes are different, and they should be made to match different types of firearms.
Sean took out a few of them
Not to mention that it is made very delicately, the craftsman's skills can be best seen in tiny things. You can see the texture on this thing and the grooves around the texture. It is considered to be very well made.
"The materials needed to make gunpowder are shipped directly to these factories."
"Well, this is the only way to deliver on time. For example, I ordered these from a nearby factory, but there are many such places in the engineering area, and also in other suburbs. Of course, alchemists will occasionally buy some." Esmeralda mentioned several places at once, disrupting Sean's original plan.
So many places.
Look for them one by one
It would take several days to visit all of them, unless the Earl sent people to check them one by one.
But is that thing definitely in there? And it’s a regular factory, so it’s normal to have materials in stock. Even if you check, you won’t find any reason.
Sean suddenly fell silent
Maybe I thought too simply.
We should find out where those goods went, but there is very little information available at the moment. We only know that they passed the road to the orchard four nights ago.
"Brother Sean"
The three of them saw Sean suddenly standing still, and they came forward curiously to ask.
"Hmm" I looked down and saw Claude's curious face.
"Brother Sean, are you worried about something?" He glanced at Sean and then turned his gaze to Igunya on the other side.
Everyone present heard the introduction just now. The other party was a witch from Elinta. This identity was enough to dissuade most people.
"Nothing, just a little personal matter. By the way, Claude, please give me that seed sprout."
"Okay."
Sean still didn't express his thoughts, because after all, they were not the ones who could see different things. If they simply went to inquire, they would probably be targeted. Sean didn't want to involve them.
As he walked out of the Scovi store with the sprouted seedling, Igunya beside him couldn't help but speak.
"Sean, do you suspect that the sulfur was used to make gunpowder?" He stood directly in front of Sean, making it impossible to avoid his gaze.
"Yes."
Seeing Igonia, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is. Then you don't have to worry. Even if someone smuggles gunpowder, it won't cause any harm to the city of Koga. Don't look at the leisurely life in this city. There are many high-level order people living here. It wouldn't matter if they took a little bit of gunpowder." Igunya seemed very confident.
“But everywhere?”
"ah"
"What about every corner and those ordinary citizens? Can you cover everywhere?" Sean asked.
I originally wanted to inquire about the streets near the east side to see if there were any convoys or fleets entering the city four nights ago, and they were cargo merchants.
However, the two were found by the Earl's guards just as they walked out of Brucan Avenue.
"Is that Baron Weiger?" The leading guard captain jumped off his horse and walked in front of Sean.
"It's me."
"Lord Hamilton asked you to go back," the answer was concise and clear.
"Why did Earl Hamilton call me?"
My status among the nobles is not very high, and the earl usually does not summon me unless there is something important. Why did he suddenly call me today and at this critical juncture? I originally wanted to continue investigating the matter of the goods.
"We don't know either. We're only here to inform you. We just heard from the guards at the east gate that you were coming, so we rushed here. We also need to inform the other nobles. If you have any questions, please go back and ask them yourself."
Concise and decisive.
The guards of Koga City gave Sean a well-trained feeling.
"The other nobles were also invited back," Sean asked before the other party left.
"Yes, all the nobles in the city of Koga must go there. This is the order of Earl Hamilton." After saying that, he turned around and rode away on his horse.
The only people left on the street were a group of onlookers, Sean, and Igunya.
"Should we go back?"
"Since the Earl has called, of course I must go back."
"Then do we still need to check the goods?" Igunya said to Sean.
"Of course I have to go, but you have to help me." He turned around and looked at the other person.
"I"
Sean could even see the other person's disbelief.
"Well, go ahead. You don't need to ask too much, just ask indirectly if there were any ships or carriages that came in four nights ago. Be careful to use your exploration magic, and if you notice anyone around you making any moves, come back and tell me. It's best not to risk it alone."
I thought the other party would be very touched by what I said, but I didn't expect Igunya to suddenly stare at Sean.
"How did you know I was into magic?"
Well
"Anyway, be careful, or I'll burn incense for you next year."
"What does this sentence mean?"
Sean ignored the other party's questions and hurried back to the Earl's Mansion.
When we got here, most of the nobles had already returned, including Alia.
"What happened, Miss Alia? Why did the Earl suddenly call everyone back?"
"I just received news that all the nobles in the city have returned. And my father has also called back the Black Feather Knights outside the city."
Sean had seen the Black Feather Knight before.
While everyone was discussing, the old man who had been serving the sick earl came out again.
The discussion suddenly quieted down
"Everyone, please be quiet. I know you all want to know the reason why the Earl has called you back. Tomorrow, the red dragon witch Frelia Iguel from the north will come to Koga City. The Earl hopes that you will represent the southern nobles to welcome her." After he finished speaking, all the nobles started discussing it again.
