Chapter 225: Chapter 212: The Kingdom Situated on the Mine! [Extra for Hall Master Pterosaur Bro]
“Lord William, everything is well, and the church likely has not found any issue with our navigation, but…” Here, Kodi’s face showed a hint of hesitation.
“The fog this year seems a bit odd…”
This was not his first time transporting goods to Iyeta. In the past, this area of the sea was virtually a no-go zone for ships; once within the fog, visibility could drop to less than two meters. After sailing through it for a while, one could even forget their bearings.
However, this time the situation with the flying ship was drastically different. Though the fog remained, the visibility had improved to five meters and it lacked the profound and terrifying sensation it used to evoke.
Kodi looked to Lynn, a suspicion having surfaced in his heart while crossing the sea—surely there wasn’t a problem in the Wizard Land?
“The Magic Council’s chairpersons have just refined this spell; it’s still in the trial phase. Your experiences will serve as a basis for further improvements to the spell,” Lynn explained offhandedly, not revealing a hint about the Lost Fog being disrupted.
Even within the entire Wizard Land, only the councilors were aware of this information. The official statement to the outside was that the despicable church had sent people to sneak into the Wizard Land and had ambushed Fayez, the legendary wizard and council chairperson, causing chaos in Greenrill City.
This narrative was designed to both incite the wizards’ outrage, preparing them for the business of war, and to prevent traitors from secretly taking ships to sea.
Kodi was dubious about Lynn’s explanation but still shared his observations and feelings.
Is the situation this serious? Lynn’s expression did not change, but doubts started to flicker through his mind.
While he knew the insider details, he had not expected the discrepancy to be this significant—Kodi had sensed something was amiss shortly after entering the fog.
This was not good news…
As they conversed, an opulently decorated Alchemy Car approached from the distance and stopped next to the docks—it was the one Dennis had brought over.
It had been modified, however, with its engine replaced by a more efficient hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine.
Kodi and a few representatives of the shipworkers were fortunate enough to experience the novelty and wonder of the Alchemy Car.
“It moves without beast of burden—how does it work?” Kodi asked with extreme caution, unsure where to place his hands. He even refrained from touching the armrests and the body of the car, asking anxiously.
“Of course, it’s powered by Alchemy and magic!” Orlando said with a hearty laugh.
In the distant sky, a massive flying ship swept over the city, drawing continuous exclamations from the shipworkers.
The changes in Iyeta were immense; Kodi nearly doubted if he had arrived in another wizard’s city, even though it had been only one year since his last visit to Iyeta.
“Are all these Master Helram’s masterpieces?” Kodi asked in awe and uncertainty.
Helram, after all, was the most powerful wizard he knew of, rumored to be able to freeze the ocean and shatter mountains…
“No, unfortunately, Master Helram sacrificed himself a few months ago while dealing with a rebellion…” Orlando spoke with a heavy tone.
The news of Helram’s death hit Kodi and the others like a hammer, leaving them stunned and filled with a deep unease. They hastily inquired, “Who is now in charge of Iyeta?”
Orlando immediately turned his head to look at Lynn, speaking with utmost respect, “The person before you is the current leader of the Iyeta School, Lord Lynn!”

Kodi stared in astonishment at the Lynn beside him, who appeared to be no more than twenty years old, and almost doubted if Orlando was joking.
He is too young, isn’t he?
Kodi had indeed sensed that Lynn’s status was extraordinary, but had only thought him to be the progeny of a great wizard or an exceptionally valued apprentice. It had never crossed his mind that the other party could actually be the current ruler of Iyeta.
“Although Lord Lynn is young, his magic talent is extremely exceptional, and he is a recipient of the Corona Medal. The power systems of the flying ship you just saw and this Alchemy Car were both invented by Lord Lynn…”
Seemingly catching onto Kodi’s thoughts, Orlando did not stop talking, incessantly listing Lynn’s grand achievements to Kodi and the others, including but not limited to his stellar performance at the mage conference and resolving the apocalyptic cult crisis in Greenrill City…
Kodi listened, feeling completely baffled. He did not know what a mage conference was, nor did he understand just how prestigious the Corona Medal was. However, the immense flying ship that had just passed overhead, and the Alchemy Car they were riding in, which was as fast as the wind, greatly shocked him.
Beyond that, Kodi was amazed to discover that everyone he saw on the streets was filled with vitality, even the plainly dressed poor were no exception.
This was a sight he could not see in the Kingdom of Hadlata, where people’s eyes held only numbness and despair.
Iyeta was never this bustling and noisy in the past…
Kodi quickly realized that the current ruler of Iyeta was a formidable, talented, and very young wizard.
All the way, Lynn had been observing Kodi’s reactions.
William had been personally selected by Helram as his spokesperson, and Kodi was a confidant trusted by the former. For over a decade, the location of Wizard Land had not been exposed, indicating their loyalty remained.
However, this loyalty had been to Helram, and Lynn was not sure whether a change in leadership would cause the other to have any ulterior motives.
Therefore, he had specifically ordered an Alchemy Car, a front for Iyeta, to be brought, and took Kodi for a tour around the port city just to show him that the Iyeta School was still powerful under his leadership!
However, regarding gunpowder and some other critical technologies, Lynn had no intention of revealing them. After taking a round, he brought Kodi to the headmaster’s office to start asking questions.
Hadlata is one of the Sekas Empire’s vassal kingdoms, located on the empire’s border region, known as a kingdom situated on a mountain of mines.
Hadlata is endowed with extremely rich mineral resources and has a population of nearly two million people. Almost one-quarter of the nation are ‘miners’, or rather, mining slaves.
It is by exploiting these mining slaves to work day and night in the dark and dangerous mines that the nobles of the land are able to continually transport ore to the capital of the empire, Veknil, via merchant ships, thus earning substantial income.
William’s main business on the surface is the mineral trade industry, owning his fleet of ships, which naturally allows a portion of the outbound trade ships to suddenly change course and head towards Wizard Land unnoticed…
