The first thing Allen has to solve is the source of the magic materials for making explosives.
It is definitely not possible to go directly to the Mage Tower for reimbursement like before.
After all, according to his recent calculations, if he wanted to blow up the Northern Tribunal of the Church of Light, he would need at least several tons of explosives.
However, in his impression, even if he searched the mage tower, it would be impossible to collect so many magic materials.
Moreover, if he really submitted such an application to the Mage Tower, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others and cause unnecessary trouble to himself and his family.
Of course, it is impossible for him to secretly purchase materials from places like the black market.
As a force with thousands of years of history, the Church of Light has followers and spies throughout the entire plane, making it impossible to guard against. Allen does not have the confidence to create a large number of explosives without telling the Church of Light.
Because of this, in such matters, the more sneaky your actions are, the easier it is to be suspected. In this case, it is better to find a cover to do things openly.
"But the question is, what kind of cover should I find?" Allen fell into deep thought, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as he was concentrating on this issue, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting his chaotic thoughts.
"Did Howard forget to bring the key when he opened the door today?"
As Allen thought this, he walked straight to the door and opened it.
There was a person standing outside the door, but it was not Howard, but the magician apprentice named Phillip whom he had seen a few days ago. The magician's badge on his chest was obtained from Phillip.
"Mr. York, I'm sorry to disturb you. But I have to tell you a very important news." As soon as he saw Allen, Philip said with a smile on his face.
"Say it." Allen said calmly.
"Miss Lila, Her Majesty's personal maid, is waiting at the bottom of the Wizard's Tower. She wants to see you in person," Philip continued. "She said that she is here on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen and plans to inform you of something."
About the investiture ceremony."
"The investiture ceremony?"
"Yes. Congratulations, Mr. York," Philip said with a smile, "You should have heard that a few days ago, Her Majesty the Queen submitted a bill to Parliament, hoping to grant you a lifelong knighthood and the title of 'Planet Pioneer'
.Now parliament has approved the proposal.
"In a few days, I will call you 'Sir York'."
"That's it." Allen nodded, suddenly enlightened.
During the recent period, he had been paying attention to the movements of the followers of the Dark Temple, and he had almost forgotten about this matter.
After all, in the Kingdom of Braden, the lifelong title that cannot be hereditary is just a virtual title. It sounds nice, but it has no real use.
In contrast, Allen cares more about the title of "Plane Pioneer".
"Philip, if I remember correctly, according to the rules of the Kingdom of Braden, 'plane pioneers' enjoy the priority to develop a plane. Does this mean that I can form my own team, purchase weapons, and go to the corresponding plane to open up a new world?"
New territory?”
"That's right," Philip immediately replied, "recruiting personnel, collecting supplies, purchasing weapons... all these actions will be protected by the laws of the kingdom. And except for necessary taxes, all profits in that plane will be
It will be yours."
"That's great." Allen smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself: "Plane Pioneer" is really a good cover. As long as I can disguise myself well, then I can completely mass-produce explosives in the name of opening up new dimensions.
…………
A few minutes later, Allen left the room as Philip said and came to the downstairs of the Mage Tower.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. Under the bright sunshine, the Mage Tower shone with colorful magic light, like a fairy tale world.
A young woman wearing a white lace dress stood on the side of the stone steps.
She has dark red curly hair, sky blue eyes, wheat-colored skin, and light freckles on her face.
Her face is delicate, but not beautiful; her clothes are gorgeous, but not noble. She is Queen Margaret's maid Lila.
Allen recognized her quickly.
He strode forward and nodded slightly in front of her: "Miss Lila."
"Mr. York." The maid Lila bowed and returned the courtesy. Her posture was elegant and beautiful, and every move revealed the noble temperament derived from the royal family.
After a brief greeting, Lila said straight to the point: "Mr. York, I am here to inform you on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen that your investiture ceremony will be held at the palace in the evening five days from now."
"In the evening five days later..." Allen thought for a moment, and then agreed, "No problem, I will definitely come on time. I also ask Miss Lila to thank Her Majesty the Queen for my love."
Lila smiled slightly.
Allen originally thought that after the notification was in place, the next sentence should be to say "goodbye".
However, Lila's next words surprised Allen extremely.
I heard her smile and say, "You look a little better than in the photo."
As she spoke, her blue eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons, adding a bit of pretty temperament to her.
"Thank you." Alan replied.
"Also...I heard that you are very interested in explosions recently?" Lila continued.
Hearing this, Allen was shocked. But he still kept his expression calm and replied: "I just want to provide some help to Teacher Wald as much as I can."
"Don't be nervous," Lila laughed, "Mr. Walder recently wrote to the Queen, claiming that you have made outstanding contributions in the development of explosives and hope that Her Majesty the Queen can give you a special commendation.
"I think... maybe you will receive an extra surprise during your knighting ceremony."
Allen breathed a sigh of relief and politely thanked him again.
"By the way, Her Majesty the Queen also said," Lila continued, "If you need magic materials in your subsequent research, you can buy them from her. Although the warehouse of the Mage Tower is rich in resources, in her private collection,
There are also some unique materials that you may be interested in.”
Allen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lila's words were undoubtedly good news for him. But he still felt some doubts about others...especially Queen Margaret's unprovoked overtures.
However, at this moment, he vaguely glimpsed a flash of blue light at the fingertips of the maid Lila.
It was a ring inlaid with sapphire, which bloomed in the bright sunshine. It looked exquisite and gorgeous, and it obviously violated the rules of her maid status.
Seeing such a scene, Allen made a bold guess in his mind.
