Chapter 295: Chapter 282: Armory and the Purger
Fein City.
The crowd hustled through packed streets, hurrying to their jobs, with nearly every person having tasks to attend to.
After returning to Fein City by train, Mayor Yeager had a meeting with a Priest of the Reforging Church in his capacity as the mayor.
In the mayor’s office, he took the revolver from his waist and placed it on the table in front of him.
“Clack.”
As the revolver lay on the table, much like a steam engine symbolizing the dawn of a new era, Yeager spoke with a certain tone and a smile:
“We need more of the new-style weapons, firearms that can fire continuously like this one. I hope the Reforging Church can offer some assistance.”
The Priest of the Reforging Church looked at the revolver, silent for a long while, then, with a calm gaze, he nodded at Yeager’s eyes.
He said solemnly:
“The Reforging Church also hopes to spread various technologies, and we naturally welcome such a transaction. So, the most important question is, how many of these new firearms does the Lion clan need?”
As a son-in-law of the Lion clan, most people still thought of Yeager as one of the Lions, unaware that his true identity was that of an important member of the Dawn Church.
Even fewer knew that this mayor, who claimed to be an ordinary person, possessed great strength with capabilities not inferior to those of a high-level Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent.
He smiled and extended two fingers.
The Priest of the Reforging Church immediately asked, “Do you need two hundred new firearms? Indeed, soldiers armed with them would be able to kill Extraordinary Exponents of the low-level Transmutation tier.”
However, Yeager shook his head with a smile.
“No.”
The Priest paused, then asked more seriously:
“Could it be two thousand? What exactly does the Lion clan intend to do? With two thousand new firearms, and a dozen of the latest cannons, you could encircle and kill Extraordinary Exponents below a high-level Transmutation.”
But Yeager shook his head again and continued:
“It’s not that either.”
The Priest of the Reforging Church fell silent again, furrowing his brow without speaking for a long time. Surely they couldn’t want twenty thousand new firearms? Although the Reforging Church could manage that, it would be rather excessive.
Yet Yeager confidently stated:
“We need two factories capable of manufacturing revolvers.”
The Priest was stunned, then burst into laughter, nodding in admiration:
“Hahaha! Your ambition is truly great. Spreading technology is something the God of Reforging wishes for, and we are willing to help you establish armament factories!”
“However, if that is the case, I am quite curious to know what price you are willing to pay?”
Yeager revealed a smile; he and the Lion clan behind him were not lacking in money, and spending more was not an issue if it could secure armament factories for the Fischer family.
“Money, resources, none of that is a problem.”
He took a deep breath and said, “Apart from the new firearms, we also need to be able to forge other weapons and equipment. We need two new armament factories!”
Over the years, Yeager had used his authoritative convenience to turn many industries around Fein City into those belonging to the Fischer family and the members of the Dawn Church.
Many Daybreakers had developed very successfully in Fein City, of course, all thanks to his care.
Yeager was well aware of the situation he faced, maintaining a strict stance towards the Proselytes, but took great care of the Daybreakers who supported him, and tried to please the Fischer family as much as possible.
The last point was even more crucial for his ascent to power.
He offhandedly asked with a smile:
“Actually, I have always been curious about where all those novel technologies of yours come from. They seem to fall from the sky, utterly unfathomable.”
The Priest of the Reforging Church suddenly showed a profound smile, his gaze ambiguous.
That smile made Yeager slightly startle, sensing that the other seemed to know many things, and that Priest appeared superior, as if he looked down on the rest of the world, including Yeager, for the secrets he possessed.
It was the look of someone gazing at the ignorant.
The Priest of the Reforging Church smiled and looked deep into Yeager’s eyes and took on a serious tone:
“Of course, all technology has been bestowed by the gods. You’ve never heard a divine oracle, so you couldn’t possibly understand…”
He paused, then continued:
“Let me tell you a secret, Mayor Yeager, perhaps the most important secret in the world. In truth, the great God of Reforging is the only True God still existing in this world!”
What did this mean…?
