Chapter 186 Kael: Just Like the Age of 30, As Fierce as a Wolf (10K)
"The time hasn't come yet... let the players suffer a bit more in the dungeons; their rage isn't fierce enough yet,"
Kael silently made this decision.
He was about to go abroad—to be precise, to the Orean Independent Kingdom.
It was time to reclaim the backup strategies left by the players there.
This trip, Kael didn't ride the Flying Boat to his destination; he used the International Teleportation Array of the White Duchy, transferring through two satellite cities and then riding a carriage, arriving at the Royal Capital of the Orean Independent Kingdom with Old White and a few of Kael's subordinate Rangers.
The attitude of various nations towards the International Teleportation Array was surprisingly unified.
In his past life as a player, he had observed that although the use of Teleportation Arrays was widespread on the Divine Continent, even the internal arrays of the White Duchy couldn't directly teleport someone to the Royal Capital.
At best, one could reach a satellite city two days' walk from the Royal Capital.
Conversely, the Royal Capital's Teleportation Array in the White Duchy could almost instantly reach any subordinate Teleportation Array within its territories.
This also included the Lancaster's Teleportation Arrays.
This was why during festive celebrations, Elanna and others could teleport directly back to Kael's territory after getting approval, but to return to school, they had to travel an additional two days—
Kael was well aware that this was done to ensure the dominant position of the Royal Capital and to prevent enemies from using the Teleportation Array to launch surprise attacks on the Royal Capital and seize its defense forces in the event of an invasion.
Hence, when he and Old White were teleported to the satellite city in the Orean Independent Kingdom, the decision to secretly establish a Teleportation Gate in the Orean Independent Kingdom had already been made.
Players, who had earlier received information from the sent staff of the Lord Mansion, awaited on the road towards the Royal Capital with materials hidden in their system backpacks, thus smoothly completing the handover of materials.
Afterward, having completed the task and received the corresponding rewards, Kael disbanded the players and secretly constructed a basement in an estate previously purchased by the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce, where they built the International Teleportation Array.
The following matters concerning the Teleportation Array were then managed by the Lion Heart Duke and Mr. Luxius.
As for why...
Such military materials, when collected, were bound to catch the attention of the Lion Heart Battle Group and the Duke of Lion Heart behind it.
Even though Kael held a special status, collecting materials of this sort was forbidden.
Who knew if someone would lose their mind, go crazy, and attempt to build a Teleportation Gate in the Royal Capital, teleporting their arch-enemies right into their midst?
Thus, Kael's desire to secretly construct a Teleportation Gate in the Orean Independent Kingdom necessarily had to be reported to the main responsible officials.
Now, with this decision made, the White Duchy had confirmed the feasibility of using the Undead to transport the Teleportation Gate materials, and this matter was covertly reported to the Federation Central.
Of course, how the old monsters at the top of the Yibel Federation would act thereafter, Kael hadn't kept on finding out.
Being able to guarantee his plan could proceed smoothly and to a certain extent use these "Hidden Teleportation Arrays" was sufficient for him.
...
Soon, after constructing the Teleportation Array, they didn't delay and applied a Swift Movement Talisman to the horses, quickly riding towards the direction of the Royal Capital.
As time passed, the silhouette of the city they had seen from the Flying Boat appeared once again as they neared in their carriage.
Before long, Kael and his group entered the city through the security-checked front gate, returning to the city they had left not long ago.
Kael's gaze swept over the Alchemy Furnace towering on the terrain, and he let out a low chuckle.
The Alchemy Furnace is essentially a large-scale Alchemy Machine structure, possessing terrifying operational power and integrated alchemical equipment complex framework that ordinary alchemy equipment couldn't match. According to normal logic, such a structure would be immensely difficult to construct.
This is because it involves a vast amount of the alchemy equipment's accompanying industrial chain. Put it this way—alchemy is an industry with incredibly broad developmental directions; it requires the collaborative development and promotion of a large number of industry personnel in many finer details to ensure the completeness of the industrial chain.
To give a specific example, it's akin to a full industry chain.
Typically, a nation possessing full industry chain capabilities or technology has to build up from scratch the frameworks of major industry chains, allowing numerous industry professionals and experts to pour into the industry year by year, day by day, to have a sufficiently complete full industry chain framework.
It's not that each industry is difficult to develop, but it's hard to ensure that the finer details have someone to develop and build them.
The emphasis isn't on how advanced and sophisticated various industries are, but rather on the smallest industries, such as manufacturing different types of screws—whether you can produce enough screw-specific molds and mass production assembly lines.
Indeed, a full industry chain is something that can only be established starting from strategic national-level planning.
Similarly, a marvelous structure like the Alchemy Furnace, which can adapt to any alchemy industry and ensure that the produced alchemy equipment reaches near high-quality levels, proves that the Alchemy Furnace at least contains most of the technical templates known within the alchemy industry.
