Chapter 242: Miners town (1/2)
That night, Sam came out of an old house with a smile on his face. He just made a huge deal which will also give him some advantages.
Although, Black water is something he would destroy sooner or later, that doesn't mean he cannot use it for his own reasons.
The next day, the whole empire has rumours starting about something. Sam has destroyed the fields under the imperial authority due to his conflict with the emperor and because the officials are incompetent that they cannot catch Sam, they started taking their anger on Sam's friends and the people low level guards who are responsible for guarding the fields.
They are even planning on executing them. This rumour was fresh out of over and the people who have nothing better than gossip started spreading out like wild fire. Even the authorities started hearing the news soon enough and they started to panic.
They wanted to quell the rumours but the source is nowhere to be found.
Sam is using the Blackwater to do this. In a war particularly an internal war, the one with most information will have a higher chance to win. And one with the control over the information will have even higher possibilities.
Sam knew how deep the Blackwater penetrated into the empire and he has enough money to use them.
Now, the whole Black water will not only be providing intel to him, they will also be manipulating the information according to his wishes.
This will make things very much easier for him and after that, there was another news that spread that Sam is in the Indigo city.
The officials of the Indigo city got alerted and didn't know how to react. General Fischer though started his journey towards the Indigo city.
Meanwhile, Sam is far away from the Indigo city and is now catching the Long-tailed chinchilla.
This chinchilla is unlike other rodent species. Generally, the rodents will be a bane to all types of vegetation but this chinchilla is a boon for them.
This chinchilla is a natural fertiliser machine and that fertiliser is something that works wonders.
The Long-tailed chinchilla generally feeds on all kinds of plants whether they are spiritual herbs or not. And the excrement of this chinchilla has a sixty percent chance of producing a seed of the herb it consumed or the excrement will be a highly valuable fertiliser for the same kind of plant.
But the problem is if they eat spiritual herbs, they would be dying soon due to spiritual energy poisoning and their carcasses are something that the beasts would go crazy about. But the problem is the plants that grew off of these excrements will not be too pure and they would be like a mass-produced knockoff compared to a handmade antique.
So, nobody would use these for cultivating herbs and when they are in the forests, they would increase the vegetation a lot which would attract all types of herbivore beasts and which would in turn attract the carnivores. This small rodent can start a food chain in a place.
But the main ability of these chinchillas that attracted Sam here, is that their digestion. They are almost incapable of diarrhoea. Yes, they actually don't take the nutrient content of any plant rather they would take the vitality of the plant that too not completely. This is the main reason for their excrements to have this type of quality.
And why does Sam need these and not just one? That is for the next operation, he is going to use these small harmless chinchillas and these would be one of the major players too.
They are going to execute the operation and Sam doesn't even have to do much work.
After four days, he went to the place where he planned to meet with Watt and Jack. They are already waiting for him there and what is Philip doing, he is in the library.
He is in the library browsing through all the Artisan data.
Even though, he is already a Great realm cultivator, he is still fixated on being an Artisan, Sam doesn't have many objections. Even though, the information is valuable, Sam doesn't have a problem sharing it with a friend.
And now he doesn't have much to do anyway.
The Place Sam met with Watt is the north-eastern corner of the southern Star Dukedom and last main source of the Dukedom.
That is right, this is Sam's last target in the southern star.
Authorities are having a misconception that Sam is destroying all their resources one by one, but no. Sam is destroying only the main resources of the Southern Star. The main income and the supply sources right under the imperial authority.
He doesn't have time or energy to mess with the minor resources of the southern star. And the presence of these minor resources is going to be one of the players in his big plan, so he is not going to deal with them.
Now he is in a town named the Miner's town. The name of the town is self-explanatory. Near this town, there are many metal mines and this place is where the miners and their families stay.
The majority of the weapons, armors and all kinds of war supplies that uses metals get their source of metal from this town.
The elemental metals are not that common and most of them use the neutral metals. The elemental metal wines are completely under the Artisan tower control as they leased them from the empire that is for almost a century.
How does Sam know? That is one of the perks of being an Artisan that too a high-level one. Chaya gave him this information.
Now, these mines are going to utter waste at least the people of the empire.
Because, Sam is going to use a plant and the Chinchilla in combination.
Yes, the Plant that Watt and Jack went to get.
