After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 308 - 52: A Simple Evening

The dumping of White Ball Wine was no longer sustainable... The original sales route for White Ball Wine was through Novak’s hands, sold via the Duchy’s merchants in the empire, and it had quite a decent sales volume.

But now, with the war between the empire and the Duchy raging intensely, the Duchy’s merchants couldn’t sell it at all in the empire... Moreover, the current situation in the empire made it difficult to maintain alcohol consumption.

Even if it could be sold, during wartime, the price... might not be optimistic either.

The Silver Moon Tree Court did love drinking it, but their purchasing power was relatively weak. After all, they brewed their own wines, and their Dew Wine was quite outstanding... Buying White Ball Wine was just to try something new.

But now that the production line for White Ball Wine was completed, it was being produced at a very low cost. To say that the production line should be cut off was clearly unnecessary, but selling it externally was also very difficult.

Perhaps, it could only be consumed internally.

*Thinking this, Yila pondered about the issue of White Ball Wine. He noted something in his sheepskin book... The sheepskin book was already packed with a lot of writings.*

*In the Demon King Territory, there were even rumors circulating, saying that the sheepskin book recorded by Yila contained "Profound Wisdom," and merely understanding it could increase one’s intelligence level... No one knew from where this rumor came.*

(Vera: Gugu?)

*Interestingly, Yila did not deny this rumor because he knew that although "profound wisdom" was nonsense, understanding it indeed required logical thinking, which wouldn’t be low... as it really required a certain level of logical thinking to understand his records.*

*This was a prerequisite rather than some stat increase.*

"Senior Yila, you were over here..."

In such a voice, standing in front of rows of wine jars, Yila turned his head to look at Mobillas... The robed Witch Demon junior was holding a metal magic wand as if carrying a fish and walking over.

That was the automatic magic wand.

"I originally planned to find you directly, but it turned out you weren’t in your room at night. I heard from your succubus maid that you came to the orchard, so I came looking for you... Here’s the magic wand you wanted. Professor Topps made it with the finest materials."

Yila was startled by Mobillas’s words, then realized that he had indeed spoken to Topps a while ago about wanting an automatic magic wand that could be used for close combat.

"Ah, thank you."

Yila said, grasping the automatic magic wand that now belonged to him. He examined the wand, long like a sharp sword... It seemed Topps had really put in a lot of effort.

The wand’s body, made of mithril, was strengthened with some kind of metal that Yila couldn’t identify, and engraved with self-repairing demon marks, which looked like the work he had entrusted Wolf to complete.

The weight ratio was very suitable for being used as a thrusting sword, with the wand’s tip reinforced with high-quality gold. Even for piercing armored units, it could kill after breaking the armor.

"Professor Topps said that the top of the wand has a place reserved for threading with silk, so it can be sewn into clothes or hung on a belt, for easier carrying when shrunk."

It seemed Topps had really taken Yila’s request seriously, which was understandable because, for Topps, Yila was indeed his great savior...

"Thank him on my behalf."

Yila said, spreading his wings, activating Mana, and activating the wand’s shrinking spell, turning it into a small pin that he then placed into his pocket. He then asked, "How are things going on your side now?"

Currently, Mobillas and his group were assisting Topps with the research on automatic magic wands, and Yila hadn’t inquired about their progress for a while... It seemed things were going well? freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Everything’s going well. The simpler magics have been basically automated, though fine-tuning the Mechanical Language source code still requires some time, which is quite a complex part of the work."

Mobillas said this while watching Yila, who was listening and counting the White Ball Wine simultaneously. He continued discussing recent problems: "The issue of Mana diffusion remains severe, and the current materials we have are hard to support further development."

"Except for *trick*-level magics, the impact on *one-ring* and *two-ring* spells is minimal; however, higher-level spells face significant Magic Power waste with the increase in source code."

"We are currently fine-tuning the materials we have, hoping to find something better than mithril. However, our current ideas seem a bit difficult... Or, we could find some cheap yet durable Mana storage materials."

Mobillas continued, mentioning how he and other Witch Demons had been incredibly busy with Topps recently. "This way, we could also use some anti-magic materials to construct the wand’s shell, reducing Magic Power diffusion... only then could we complete the automated legendary magic wand."

*It seemed the path to an automatic magic wand was long and arduous.*

"Mana storage materials are rarely cheap."

Yila remarked.

"We are aware, which is why we have been researching this field constantly. Sometimes we ask Senior Vera for help... If only we had a professional alchemist’s assistance."

Mobillas sighed, thinking, and then asked Yila, "The situation outside is severe. The empire is suffering significant defeats on the battlefield... Could it be pushed down completely?"

Yila glanced at him...

"Are you worried?"

At Yila’s question, Mobillas hesitated then nodded, saying, "Somewhat worried about my family. Senior Vera might be too, although their chosen stance is to follow you, senior... but if the war is lost..."

*If the war is lost, it wouldn’t matter which side they took.*

"No need to worry. The empire won’t perish... Ah, I’m not confident in the empire’s strength, because the intelligence I’ve received isn’t enough, and the empire’s situation is unclear to me."

Yila said, finishing the White Ball Wine inventory. "However, a unified Duchy would not be good for us... Even the Beastman Country wouldn’t remain indifferent in that moment."

Explaining to Mobillas, who didn’t know much about international matters, Yila said, "Letting the Duchy and the empire complete unification is too dangerous. Dominance by either side is perilous... even if the Duchy’s aggression isn’t that strong."

Mobillas: "In other words, will it be a world war?"

"Not necessarily. The empire might not lose."

Yila replied simply.
