Chapter 236: Increasing Migrants (1/2)

Unsurprisingly, the first car that Rino made was a modified sky palanquin. The experiment was successful, and Rino recruited minecart drivers who were not afraid of heights to operate the first sky car.

Glowstones were mysterious objects, and Rino wondered how long the mana in there would last. For prevention, Rino made a secret second engine circuit in the form of runes engraved to the bottom of the car. As long as the carriage was within the range of the mana web array, it would not crash. Once a low mana output was detected, the carriage would automatically connect to the mana web array and continue its operation while sending the driver a notification in the form of a blinking light rune signalling it was time for a maintenance check.

The test drive monitored by Acht landed successfully in Noir Province and made its way back, carrying logs from the sawmill without issues.

Rino's quest was marked completed three days before the intended deadline, thanks to the successful test drive.

The lich might have spent more time building the new car from scratch instead of modifying it if it wasn't for his existing sky palanquin carriages. Fate worked in funny ways, and he was starting to see his efforts returning with interest now.

He collected the reward and wondered if pilfering mass graves would increase Town Zera's overall population to the number he needed for that side quest.
