Chapter 158: Smelting Copper
Oswald patted Paul on the shoulder. When he passed by the iron-shelled man, he did not even pause for half a step and said coldly, “Come in with me.”
The iron-shelled man was dazed for a long while. The aura of someone in power allowed him to instantly identify the other party’s identity, not to mention that even the maid beside the man exuded such overwhelming presence.
Only after quite some time did he straighten up, gaze at Oswald’s back, and murmur, “So alike. Truly alike.”
“Alike to what?”
E̊n̂ ûm а̄. і́d̀
Paul curiously glanced at the iron-shelled man. Could he have seen the Duke before?
“Black hair and black eyes are very rare, Mr. Paul. In our Mechanical Church’s research, we discovered that the older the era of humanity’s existence, the higher the proportion of black hair and black eyes.”

“That includes the creatures created by the Goddess of Nature that I mentioned to you.”
The two followed Oswald and Eileen from a distance and entered the Duke’s Estate.
Along the way, the iron-shelled man was still rambling about genetics. The bloodline stability of the Charles family was extremely rare in the entire kingdom and possessed very high research value.
“The Duke’s family has maintained traditional marriages for generations. Combined with the Northern Territory’s isolation, this situation is very normal.”
Е̂ ň ú mа̌. і̂ d̂
Paul responded to the iron-shelled man perfunctorily. Compared with these things, he cared more about when the Duke had recovered his eyes.
“No, Mr. Paul. The region with the highest proportion of black hair and black eyes is the Southern Territory. In other words, the farther south one goes, the more stable the ancient bloodline becomes.”
Hearing this, Paul pointed at the door of the Duke’s Estate office, signaling for the iron-shelled man to collect his thoughts.
These people spent every day thinking about casting off the flesh, yet when it came to researching bloodlines and bodily structures, they were even more fanatical than the professionals.

Ancient bloodlines, ancient humans... From ancient times to the present, those corpses had either vanished without even dregs remaining or turned into stone. What exactly could you people even see?
Paul knocked on the door. After receiving permission, he led the iron-shelled man into the office.

After the door closed, Oswald, who stood by the window, suddenly spoke, but he only said three things.
“From now on, your Mechanical Church may only operate within the Northern Territory. I will give you three months to bring all members and supplies of the Mechanical Church to the Northern Territory.”
“From now on, in the Northern Territory, you are not allowed to conceal anything from me, you are not allowed to develop believers in the Northern Territory, and you are not allowed to continue conducting human experiments.”
“Metallurgy, insulators, electromagnetic induction, chemical engineering, and magical materials science will be your future research directions.”
Accepting no objections whatsoever, Oswald raised his hand, and Eileen, who was attending nearby, immediately retrieved several books and placed them in the iron-shelled man’s hands.
By the time the bewildered iron-shelled man came back to his senses, Paul had already led him out of the Duke’s Estate.

“Congratulations. Your Mechanical Church has been hired.”
Blankly meeting Paul’s sincere gaze, the iron-shelled man had just been about to speak when Paul, all smiles, pressed him down and warned him in a lowered voice.
“I forgot to tell you. The Church Saintess and the Archbishop are both extremely close to the Duke. If he becomes dissatisfied with you, then you will have nowhere to stand in the entire kingdom!”
Carrying three parts joy, three parts anger, three parts fear, and one part curiosity, the iron-shelled man pushed Paul away.
He wanted to see what this so-called electromagnetic induction was.
He swiftly opened the book. The handwritten script opened the gateway of knowledge for him, and the iron-shelled man became absorbed before he realized it.

Strange terms and formulas interwove into a mysterious path: magnetic flux, electromagnetic induction, induced electromotive force, self-induced electromotive force, transformers, Made in...
However, the hand-drawn illustrations inside were far too crude! Without the written explanations, he would have thought they were ghostly scribbles!

Closing the book, the iron-shelled man remained dazed for a long while. Could meeting Duke Oswald truly have been guidance sent down to them by the gods?
Wait. I cannot make a judgment so easily. If I die in the Northern Territory, that is a small matter. The future development of the entire Mechanical Church is what truly matters most.
Thinking of this, the iron-shelled man carefully hugged the books, turned around, and walked toward the street.
Paul scratched his head. Could this fellow really have such backbone?

“Hey, what are you going to do?”
The iron-shelled man did not even turn his head, as though he had made some sort of decision.
“Smelt copper!”

Warm wind blew in from the sea. The air was salty and damp, and the blazing sun burned like fire. One large ship after another returned to land with the wind, while the white-haired elf, wrapped tightly in cotton cloth and hung sideways from a flagpole, was for a time moved to tears.
Humans were bullying elves too much!

The soldiers returned victorious. Just as there were bandits in the mountains of the Northern Territory, there were also beings called pirates in the nearby waters of the Southern Territory.
At first, the pirates had behaved as usual, quietly landing on a remote coast and preparing to attack the nearby villages. In the end, by sheer accident, they happened to run straight into the Northern Army’s sturdy pectorals.
Thus, taking ships out to fight pirates instantly became the soldiers’ favorite recreational activity. Incidentally, the second most popular entertainment was fishing. They had even established a fishing club named “Man’s Final Destination” for it.
After swaying on the waves for more than half a month, Luna quickly overcame seasickness and could already run freely across the deck as it rose and fell with the tide.
After sweeping away another pirate den, the high-spirited Luna rolled up her trouser legs and stepped barefoot onto the somewhat scorching beach. As usual, she lectured the soldiers under her command, especially emphasizing the issue of discipline.
Hands on her waist, cheeks puffed out, she pointed at the white-haired elf who had just been taken down and had already collapsed into unconsciousness from exhaustion. She angrily scolded, “From now on, whoever dares to wander around naked in front of me will end up just like her!”

“Yes!”
The soldiers did not understand why, but their answer shook the heavens.
Was this not a matter of common sense? What normal person would run outside without a single stitch of clothing?
This was especially true for the soldiers of the Second Regiment. They did not dare take off their clothes in front of Miss Luna. After all, the group of personal soldiers around the young lady were not merely ruthless.
The personal soldiers, who had pinned certain bare-chested soldiers to the ground and were punching and kicking them: You stinking soldiers, only you have abs, is that it? Elite battle group, is that it? You did not even shave your armpits, is that it? Polluting our young lady’s eyes—do you not want to live?
“Dismissed.”

Luna clapped her hands, had the personal soldiers toss the white-haired elf into the freshwater pool to recover, then put on a straw hat and also followed the personal soldiers to the freshwater pool beneath the shade of the trees to wash the fine sand from her legs.
As Luna washed, she stepped on the elf’s head. After gulping down several large mouthfuls of water, the elf finally came back to life.

She clung to the edge of the pool, her eyes full of resentment. “We elves are very fragile...”
Luna stepped on her again and suppressed her anger as she said, “Do not think I cannot tell that you wanted to seduce the soldiers under my command.”
“They are all pure-hearted good lads. How could I let a rotten creature like you take advantage of them?”
Having had her thoughts exposed, the elf silently sank beneath the water. Leaving the elf behind, Luna stepped onto the shaded path and leisurely walked toward the town.

Seeing that June was about to end, and that this war still had not changed at all, it was not that the Southern Territory was not fun. It was simply that Luna missed her elder brother a little.
Brother... could not have already gotten married, could he?
“Young lady, coconut juice.”
A female soldier quickly came to Luna’s side and handed a freshly opened coconut to her.

Luna sipped the coconut juice in small mouthfuls. The female soldier seemed somewhat unclear about the importance of the matter, and only after Luna’s lips curved upward did she report, “Young lady, the Royal Capital has sent a secret letter. It requires your personal opening.”
Licking her lips, Luna blinked. “A secret letter? How secret?”
