Chapter 235: The Preparations (1/2)
Sam doesn't know that two people who can crush the planet he is living in a second almost had a fight because of him.
Because he is busy with planning something.
From the hill they are staying in, he can watch some places in the Southern star city, although they are not completely visible and he cannot see what is happening there closely with a naked, he doesn't have to use a naked eye at all.
So, while his friends went on to collect the required beasts, he started building a telescope so that he can observe what is going on in the city, particularly in a person's home.
That is none other than the General Spark. Sam is here to honor his words about General Spark.
And he can use this chance to send a message to the emperor as well as all the other nobles and officials who are after him.
He is going to deal with the emperor sooner or later and in that process, Sam doesn't want to deal with all these officials on his journey. That would be a real pain in the ass.
So, since he already has some past grudges with the General, he can use this chance to avoid some trouble.
Although all the officials might not back down, there would be at least half of the people who will not make any trouble for Sam and that is for sure.
So, now he is going to plan and one of the main parts of that plan is this hill.
That is why he chose this hill as their campsite.
Sam wants to use one of the first elements he gained since he came to this world and the knowledge, he gained from his previous world to deal with the General, and this hill will be the main contributor to his plan.
So, he started marking the necessary positions to start digging the hole hill hollow so that it can station the necessary things that can help him.
For, the next month, the trio of Philip, Watt, and Jack are on hunt searching and bringing the beasts that Sam wanted and the main problem is that Sam wanted them alive.
So, they can only comply with him.
This month, Sam started hollowing the peak and the upper part of the hill.
Apart from that he would observe the routine of the General and spend the rest of the time researching a formation which he is designing for this purpose.
From the start, Sam has a feeling that the formations of this world are being restrained by their thinking of not using anything other than the energy nodes.
So, now he is going to circumvent that idea and use both energy nodes, runes, and inscriptions along with normal physical objects to get what he wants.
After that one month is over, the search for Sam and his group intensified in the southern star. It seems that the emperor doesn't want to give up at all.
He learned from Mackey that the Park was completely taken over.
Sam also found some posters of himself in the city and he is successfully labeled as a wanted criminal.
Sam thought that the emperor must have waited for this long, almost two months just to paint Sam as a criminal. Because, after this long time, there is no way that the citizens would relate to this incident as an act of revenge.
Sam doesn't know what crime he was attached to but he knew that it certainly is not a small one. So, from this point, the Duke represented the government in taking over the park, but only Sam's share. The three-tower heads are still holding their own share.
He also learned that from this acquisition the government didn't take Sam's previous income and his earnings are still in hands of the Formation tower head.
Sam wasn't the least bit surprised by this, he knew that this would only be a matter of time and even acquisition of Sam's park might be a provocation directed at him.
The emperor must have thought that Sam is very possessive of his things and the whole thing started because his son went after Sam's possessions, so he is taking over Sam's possessions blatantly and he wanted to lure Sam out.
If this is really, the emperor's thinking, then he is half-right. Sam is indeed possessive of his things, but the only thing that he is wrong about is his way of retaliation.
