The Black Iron Glory

Chapter 23

Schemes

It seems that the magi world also has a difference between nobles and laymen in the form of a white silver lineage and a black iron magi. . . This is completely different from the fantasies I often read where magi are just people who seek the truth and aim to uncover the secrets of the deepest laws in the world. All that nonsense here. . .

Claude continued to bathe in the moonlight in the room. The copying and re-decoding of the diary's 11th entry had left him very tired. Just in case, he decided to rest for a while first.

Even so, the contents of the diary's 11th entry were too shocking for him. It completely reversed his expectations about the magi he had built up from reading s. He thought that magi represented a mysterious and omnipotent existence that could solve all kinds of problems with just a few spells and hand waves. They symbolize magical power.

He did not think that low rank magi should work for high rank magi and even serve as cannon fodder or low level laborers. They also could not climb the ranks because they were not allowed access to magical resources. It almost seemed like a social capital module he took in philosophy class when he was in university, specifically on the topic of materialism.

When the higher classes gain control over the right to distribute resources, the lower classes will always be in an oppressed position. They will lose the ability and opportunity to move out of their social class to a higher class. Even with the support of interest groups aimed at limiting harm to their social benefits and status, that will not stop the journey of the Darwinian world that they socially live in a strong place devouring the weak and occupying their own territory like wild animals.

Well, that's the point, not accurate because my representation is possible. It's been over ten years since I graduated. Nor does it help that the philosophy classes at that time were so boring and I often missed them. But in retrospect, the theories taught in the classroom do make sense and can even be applied in parallel worlds like this where magic exists.

Then again, he rethinks the country he was in his past life that spent only three decades in peacetime to become one of the biggest economic entities on the blue planet, chasing the footsteps of the world called the world.the number one superpower. The achievement was even achieved despite the fact that the actions of the international community were misleading. Since they were initially unfamiliar with international conventions, they have suffered quite a lot of unnecessary losses since the economic reforms. Nonetheless, his country advanced steadily to the point where a fair and self-proclaimed international body had to change the rules to deal with them.

At the same time, the price to become one of the biggest economic powers on the blue planet is a huge increase in demand for resources. Before Claude moved on, half of the planet's minable blue resources came from his country and ended up in the hands of those international bodies. At the same time his country is growing at a rapid pace, international mining bodies are getting the greatest benefits. Like leeches, they sucked blood out of his country endlessly without pause.

Three decades of economic development have allowed the world's largest exporter to become the world's largest importer. It was no wonder that the three thousand years of the magic era had left most of Faslan's magical resources depleted. It was mainly a given case that the magi of the past did not have such a concept as renewable resources and never attempted to develop in that area. As a result, the white silver noble magi that controlled most of the distribution of magical resources would suppress the development of black iron magi.

That was why Senior Tawari mentioned in the diary that the era of magic was changing.

Just like modern civil society, finding a replacement energy source is a big problem when what everyone has relied on is up. However, the diary mentions that the magi have discovered another planar world rich with magical resources, but surviving on the plane sounds like a hindrance to the magi.

This sounds like an animation I watched earlier where a small robot flew a bowl-shaped spacecraft in search of an unlimited source of energy in the universe. . .

After daydreaming for a moment, Claude picked it up and returned to copy and decode the diary's twelfth entry, which was on the 13th page of the cookbook.

Date: the 22nd of the 8th month, Year 3341 of the magic calendar of the Nomadin. Weather: Bright.

The messenger finally came today. He brought the latest order from the magic council asking us to reach the Symposium at the end of the month.

The five-loop magi of the temporary enforcement unit represent the magi at Golddew in receiving the envoy. Senior Tawari also participated in the banquet.

After he returned, he gathered eight of us and informed us of some confirmed information.

Once we arrive at the Symposium, we will run a complete grooming routine in the sky-piercing tower that will last for half a month. After that, we will send the first group of people to the Kenpus plane with the aim of building a magic headquarters there. All construction materials will be sent there from the sky piercing tower of Symposium.

Now, I finally know why Baron Regius Au Syr formed such a large magic stone transport unit.

"Why did they not choose to mine the stones needed to build on the spot?" ask Krimondo.

Senior Tawari replied in a low voice, 'There is not enough manpower. '

It was as if the others knew what was going on. They no longer said anything else and we quickly left.

Golddew soon turned into chaos. Many magi cried loudly in the streets like crazy and put alcohol in their mouths nonstop. Some of them even threw fireballs around and set fire to some houses. What I find strange is that law enforcement units do nothing and let them continue as they please.

Aliya says that they vent. But we all know that going on Kenpus planes is a one-way ticket to death. However, no one dared to defy the orders of the magic council.

Is Kenpus really that scary?

It might not even begin to describe it. It must be death, Aliya said. The seven great magi nine rings from the ninth ring council and over 40 archmagi seven rings, basically most of the high-level magical power in Faslan, had gone to Kenpus. But they have not been able to conquer the local gnome and kobold tribes. They were not even able to mine the most basic stone building materials there, therefore they asked us to send them labor and materials. What could a low rank magi do there? We will be reduced to laborers and cannon fodder and everyone is aware of that.

I want to look for Senior Tawari, but I can't find him. I wonder if he's with the transport unit.

Claude rested an hour with moonbathing before continuing to copy and decode.

Date: 23 of 8 months, Year 3341 of the Nomadin magic calendar. Weather: Bright.

In the afternoon, Baron Regius Au Syr came to the inn to look for Senior Tawari.

The baron came once again to ask me to hand over the gunpowder formula refined with magic crystals.

I rejected it once again and told him that the formula would be useless for him since magic power needed to be injected through the runes to trigger an explosion. He was not a magus and had no magic power at all.

It was then that Senior Tawari said that he could do it. I was really surprised.

He told me to give him the formula because he could use it. He hoped that I would help him because of our many years of relationship.

I asked him in surprise what he wanted to do.

I asked him in surprise what he wanted to do.

"I want to destroy the sky piercing tower" he replied.

'You crazy?!' I was crying . Were it not for the sound muffling spell, the entire city would have heard my shouts of shock.

'I don't know how to go to Kenpus. Destroying the tower means we'll never know how to go there again. But I'm only a five-ring magus and my spell power is completely harmless to the tower. Your formula on the other hand can simulate the forbidden spell of nine-ring magus: Annihilate Explosion. The sky piercing tower will definitely not stand it, Tawari said calmly.

But I said we would be arrested. Those from the magic council would be at the Symposium and they would definitely not let Tawari go. I worry about his safety. It was he who brought me, the son of a fisherman, into the world of magic. Without him, I would have to endure all sorts of intimidation in the magic tower. . . And my parents and siblings still live in a fishing village so I don't want to go to Kenpus either.

But the baron said that I should not try to stop Senior Tawari. 'Do you think the 50 thousand men here are really here to transport magic stones?' It turned out that Senior Tawari would not only destroy the sky-piercing tower, he was also trying to destroy the magic barrier of the Symposium. As long as the barrier was lowered, 50 thousand laborers would turn into armed men immediately and attack the city. Once they conquered the castle, they would have more than enough time to destroy the tower.

I was so shocked that I almost fainted. He wants to conquer the Symposium, our holy land of magi.

I asked him why he wanted to do something like that. I shook my head and tried my best to calm myself down. I have to be patient when I talk to crazy people. I cannot make it worse.

The baron said nothing. He just showed me a written order.

It was an official order sent by the magic council asking the baron to train another 30 thousand armed men as well as gather ten thousand young men and women to be sent to the Symposium.

'They will send all the young men to Kenpus to the base you will build there! They wanted to expand the range of the transference array to transfer all the youths there, said the baron.

"Are they crazy?" I said as I thought about how I heard that even a wild rabbit can face the magus of five rings in battle there. Sending those ordinary youths was nothing but sending them to their deaths. Even armed men can only take rabbits there.

But Senior Tawari said this. 'They don't . They were inspired by the gnomes there. The gnome is said to be one of the weakest living things there. But their strong reproductive abilities and large tribal populations allow them to be able to effectively defend against enemies. The magic council wanted to learn from the gnome tribes and bring the young people there so that they could breed. That number of 40 thousand will be the first of many to come. . . '

"Let me tell you one more thing. The owner of our magic tower, Seven-ring Magus Roenk, is dead. He was killed by the Kobold Witch. '

But Senior Tawari said this. 'They don't . They were inspired by the gnomes there. The gnome is said to be one of the weakest living things there. But their strong reproductive abilities and large tribal populations allow them to be able to effectively defend against enemies.

"Let me tell you one more thing. The owner of our magic tower, Seven-ring Magus Roenk, is dead. He was killed by the Kobold Witch. '

This world is absolutely crazy. Senior Tawari wanted to destroy the tower that pierced the sky, the baron wanted to attack the Symposium, and the magic council would actually send 40 thousand men and women to Kenpus without giving them any protection. Are they trying to feed the gnomes? Even the owner of our aloof tower who looked down on us from above, a seven-ringed magus, had died from a little witch. Me . . I must be dreaming.

I told the baron that if he attacked the Symposium, the nine-ring grand magi and the magi above the seven rings would be instantly transferred back. I think that would be bad news for him.

But the baron just laughed. Is he mocking me?

"They're definitely not coming back. '

'Why?'

'Haha, you might not know it, but sending someone to Kenpus' plane from the sky piercing tower costs ten units of magic stones. But on Kenpus, sending back letters alone would cost ten times that amount. They will need a number of magic stones to send people back from Kenpus. Given what they did, they would definitely not be able to achieve that feat. That's part of the planar law. So far, we can only send magical resources there for them to use. '

Ah, planar law. I forgot about them. No wonder I only heard about the archmagi being sent to Kenpus, but never heard of anyone returning from there.

"But the Symposium still has a magic council and magic crystal cannons," I murmured.

'The magic council only has two archmagi seven rings now. The rest had been sent to Kenpus as reinforcements.The 16 magic crystal cannons installed on the city walls and magic towers had been sent there as well. I heard it was a nine-ring magi asking for it. Without the magic crystal cannon, even they could not sleep soundly there. . . .

'So the Symposium is currently at its weakest position. Even the seven-ring archmagi was afraid of our concentrated firepower. Apart from the 50 thousand people I have gathered, I have two other units that number up to 30 thousand people stationed elsewhere. As long as the magical barrier of the Symposium explodes, we will be able to begin our attack. '

The baron convinced me. I also don't want to go to Kenpus. It was a one-way trip without coming back. I still want to see my parents and brother. Me . . I handed the formula for the gunpowder refined with magic crystals to the baron.
