Chapter 753: Hidden Sea (2/2)

But he is also helping them showing the ropes of real bureaucracy involving them in the discussions with the rest of the bureaucrats.

He is giving them tips and experience along with the information which they would obtain about the rest of the bureaucrats and their characters along with some inner workings.

They are ecstatic. These are the people that don't want to join any faction and sell themselves but still want to rise in the ranks.

Everything is stable for now. Sam is currently waiting for another approach from this invisible third faction regarding the machines.

Currently, there is no visible movement from them, because even with Sam's warning they are going to be a bit curious and with the belief in their abilities, they will not give up the opportunity of trying their luck in examining the machines.

In fact, Sam actually wants that. He wants them to examine and tear the machines apart and he would use that as leverage to make a new business for himself. He would get that forging license which is impossible to get through Raunak from them and he would then start his weapon business here.

He wouldn't sell products themselves, he would sell the designs and factories.

He would open something like Patent Company use that as a base of his development in this realm. But he is not keen on opening it on this planet.

This planet is made for agriculture. Not manufacturing.

While he is contemplating his future development plans in this realm, the trio returned from the trip and brought some interesting news.

And that is, the villages and towns which are at the edge of the map are not actually the end of this planet. In the map, the towns are shown as the end and the rest of the planet is covered with forest which is restrictive to enter because of the presence of the high-level beasts.

At least that is what they were told. But the trio went to different places to verify these claims and it turns out it is not exactly true.

There are indeed some forests that are being occupied by some high-level beasts, but there are some places that are a bit suspicious and the trio's investigation revealed something that was being hidden for a long time.

There is a sea on this planet.

Sam doesn't know how the elves managed to hide it for so many years and from so many people. But there is indeed a sea on this planet and it is actually a large one.

One of the reasons that they managed to hide is because the travel is not by some spaceship. It is done by the wormholes which act as portals.

This made things easier for the elves to hide. And from what the people observed the towns and cities that are on the edge of the map are not actually the last towns and villages on the edge, in fact there are other towns beyond them.

But those towns are actually blocked by the thick forests which the trio suspects are artificially grown. Anyone who wants to travel past that has to go through the thick forests and they did encounter some beasts, but they are not actually wild beasts, they are tamed and some people are even riding them.

They are mostly elves and when they sneaked past them, they finally noticed something.

There are other towns past this forest, but the towns are not normal. They are bases for the soldiers. They didn't dare go deeper than that, but they are sure that they saw the sea and felt the salty sea breeze.

So there is some reason that the factions are trying to cover this up and particularly when they are teamed up together and setting aside their differences.

There are some speculations Sam has.

One of them is that they wanted to make the people completely oblivious of what is happening because there might be some serious danger in the sea.

Or there is a war going on with some enemy which they didn't want to show to their citizens and civilians.

In both cases, the danger is too big and the people will be in a panicked state. In the worst-case scenario, if that danger comes into the town, then their main target would be the people that are ruling, so there would be no bureaucrats who would be willing to work here.

So, this would hinder them from staying on this planet and running it and even the normal people that are responsible for the development of the planet wouldn't be willing to stay here when they knew that there is an enemy breathing under their neck.

Sam is smelling an opportunity here based on the threat that is on the sea. But for that, he has to find what it is exactly.
