Under William's pressure, Cody shuddered with fear. He didn't expect the adults to be so excited.

"Are you sure this news is true and reliable?" William asked again.

Cody nodded quickly. During the few days he was stranded in the port city, he asked many people to inquire about the news.

A few months ago, a tragedy occurred in Yieta, with thousands of casualties. Herram also died in that incident. It was said that it was related to a guy called the Evil Wizard.

Listening to Cody's narration, William supported his fat body and paced in the secret room. After a moment, he opened his mouth and uttered a few words tentatively. Seeing no response, he confirmed the death of Hellram.

William's expression changed again and again, and finally he sat back in his seat, his expression calm again. "Tell me, who is in charge of Yieta now?"

"He's a wizard named Lynn. He's not very old, maybe less than 20 years old." Cody replied hesitantly.

"That is to say, now there is a little kid in charge of Yieta. Can't the Magic Council send any other people?" William said with a sneer.

"Lord William, I think Lord Lin is probably not that simple. It is said that he is also from the Secas Empire. It has only been a year since he crossed the sea to the land of wizards, but he has revealed many tricks..." Cody reminded carefully, and recounted everything he saw and heard during the journey.

An airship that is hundreds of meters long and larger than a house, a four-wheeled vehicle that runs faster than the wind, an alchemical machine that can automatically weave cloth...

William couldn't help but frown, because what Cody said was so fantastic that he began to wonder if his trusted subordinates had been bewitched by some kind of magic...

However, Cody quickly provided evidence that the airship was now docked in a manor outside the royal capital. It was with the help of this thing that they were able to cross the two places within one day.

In addition, he brought samples of paper and glass, which were quickly presented to him, and he also told about the situation of other people who were left in Yieta.

"So now our people are stranded in Yieta and become hostages?" William's tone seemed a little depressed. After glancing at the samples presented to him, he paused involuntarily. He immediately fell in love with an exquisitely crafted glass goblet, picked it up and held it in front of his eyes to look at it.

The cup is crystal clear and sparkles under the candlelight, looking very dazzling.

William looked at it for a long time before putting the goblet down, then looked at the other glassware and the pure white paper. He certainly saw the value of these two things.

"I don't think Lord Lin has any intention of stopping them from coming back, but the airship's carrying capacity is limited, so they need to come back in batches." Cody explained.

As they had been stranded in Yieta for a few days, they had missed their return date, and now the Sea of ​​Misty Sea had become dangerous again, so they could only rely on airships to travel.

William, however, did not believe this so-called coincidence, grinning and showing his yellow teeth. "It seems that this successor of Master He Ran Ram does have some skills, and even you are starting to make excuses for him."

"Lord William, I never meant that..." Cody said in fear and trepidation.

William naturally knew that Cody would not betray him, so after a brief persuasion, he continued to ask, "What about the division of interests? Has the other party redetermined it?"

"Hmph." William snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.

Although these glass products can earn a lot of money, they are things that have never appeared before. Once they are taken out, they will definitely attract the interest of many people. This means that he needs to spend energy and money to establish connections...

"Next time when we transfer the goods, please remember to tell that person that the Vatican has been investigating very strictly recently. I need to bear more risks and the profit sharing needs to be changed. I think half and half is appropriate..." William ordered in a cold voice.

Now that he no longer has to be controlled by others, William naturally can no longer tolerate himself being like a puppet, taking huge risks and having to give up most of the benefits to others.

After more than ten years of hard work, he is now a true viscount and owns his own territory. He is no longer the miner who needs to read other people's eyes and be ordered around.

Cody hesitated for a moment. In his opinion, Lord Lynn was not an easy person to talk to, but he did not have the courage to reject William's proposal.

After questioning for a while, William waved Cody away, opened the oak barrel next to the seat, poured the bloody liquid inside into a goblet, and shook it gently. A pungent smell of blood immediately wafted out.

William, however, drank it all in one gulp without a care, intoxicated in the trembling and pleasure of his body. Thoughts kept running through his mind, and suddenly he remembered what Cody had said before, that when he was crossing the foggy sea, he found that the fog on the sea seemed to have some new changes.

Combined with the fact that the new Yieta controller had seized his cargo ships in the wizard land and was using airships to transport cargo instead, and even took back the compass that could locate the wizard land, this made him suspicious that this matter might not be that simple.

William pondered for a while, called a servant, and whispered, "Send me another ship to the Misty Sea to take a look!"

…

A week passed in a flash. Recently, the Kingdom of Hadhrata has been in turmoil, and the dispute between the two princes has almost become known to everyone.

Just two days ago, on the king's birthday, the eldest prince presented a smooth and flawless round mirror that could clearly reflect a person's figure, and a complete set of crystal clear tableware and wine glasses, which attracted the attention of a number of nobles and priests, and won the praise of the king and queen.

It is rumored that the material of this round mirror is a very rare mineral from overseas. It was made by the most outstanding craftsmen in Hadhrata. It is expensive and there are very few perfect finished products. There are only two in the world.

The other side was presented to Cardinal Losak.

Although this magical round mirror disappeared, related glass products soon appeared on the market, attracting aristocrats, wealthy businessmen and priests. In a very short time, it became a new fashion. Due to the limited quantity, the price was raised by more than ten times...

A finished goblet could even be sold for ten gold coins of the kingdom. Even a defective product with flaws was sold for two or three gold coins. Even so, it was still in short supply and sold out in just two days...
