It is almost impossible to conceal such a large-scale flow of goods.

Mercenaries and hunters continued to raid the Duke's territory for magical beasts, and the materials for the magical beasts were bought up by small merchants from all over the place, eventually slowly flowing to the Duke's home.

Some people would even go to other places to buy Warcraft materials, and then bring them to the Dukedom to make a profit from the difference.

"Humph, this amount of materials cannot be used up by building one or two warships."

"Maybe they really are building some kind of palace in the sky?"

After loading all the alien mercenaries onto a truck, Klia began to move towards Gulin Town.

All the Warcraft materials in the Dukedom will eventually flow here - and there are only a few small processing plants here, which are simply not enough to digest so many materials.

"Magic beast materials, alchemical materials, and ordinary steel and wood... and there is an almost endless supply of magic source stones in the dukedom."

Keliya is not particularly knowledgeable about technology, but under Jiangyue's influence, she has some understanding of the basic knowledge of manufacturing.

——What Duke Buck is building must be of a large scale.

"When we get there, let the mercenaries disguise themselves and move around in the open, while we go find the things they have hidden."

Because the Spider Cherry's detection function is very advanced, they can find clues even if the other party hides the secret underground.

"I don't know what's going on with my husband."

……

At night, the truck carrying the mercenaries and the princess's car arrived at Gulin Town.

However, the town was not lively - apart from a few small factories that were still in operation, there were hardly any people in the town.

"It's so deserted?"

After getting off the car, the mercenary leader Kuran immediately expressed his opinion.

After seeing the scene of this town, other people had the same feeling in their hearts.

"Hmph, the more you try to cover it up, the more it shows that there is a problem... The mercenary group can just go to the town and find out. Sister Karin, Zhu Ying and I will go to the factory together to take a look."

"Just pretend to be passing by here, right? Then everyone else follow me, and we'll see if there's anything we can buy here."

After quickly understanding Klia's intention, Kuran walked into the town with his alien mercenaries.

Because there are so many mercenaries in the Duke's territory now, no one will suspect them as long as they pretend to be passing by here.

While they were diverting attention from the surface, Claire could take the opportunity to look for things hidden by the Duke's family.

"Zhu Ying, please scan those factories from the sky at close range to see what's inside."

After receiving the order, the petite cherry-haired maid flew silently into the sky.

Under the cover of night, Klia and Karin slowly moved towards one of the factories.

"Hmm... Your Highness, the spiritual energy around here seems to be very active."

"I can already feel it... Tsk, the magic power is not functioning smoothly."

The closer we got to the factory, the more obvious the fluctuations in spiritual energy became - it was as if a lot of magic source stones were being activated.

This concentration of spiritual power was nothing to Karin, but Klia was a little uncomfortable with this environment.

"Sister Karin, if we need to fight something later, I'll leave it to you."

"No problem, there's still the spider."

After Spider Sakura returned from high-altitude reconnaissance, Keliya became even more certain that something was hidden here.

"Report. There are a large number of carbon-uranium activation facilities in the factory. Most of the heat radiation flows underground."

"It looks like there is something underneath."

Just as Klia was thinking about how to sneak in, a transport team consisting of a large number of animal carts suddenly came into their sight.

The trucks, which seemed to be carrying a lot of stuff, were slowly approaching the town under the cover of night.

"That's it, let's find a way to get through it!"

"Understood. Activate camouflage, and please stay by my side."

After Zhuying opened the very convenient optical camouflage force field, the three of them quickly approached the oncoming convoy.

Since it cannot conceal magic or other energy fluctuations, this ordinary disguise is not very effective.

But the spiritual energy here is so strong that ordinary detection methods are simply ineffective here.

"Sure enough, it's all monster material... The entrance and exit must be in this town."

After the three of them restrained their breath and sneaked into a truck, Klia immediately discovered a large amount of Warcraft materials.

Common materials such as bones, claws, teeth and skin are mostly used to make magic props.

The more valuable blood and magic cores are used to draw the core spells of props or arrays.

"With this amount... almost all the monsters in the Duke's territory have been killed, right?"

"Warcraft has a strong reproductive capacity, and hunters will not go to those more dangerous habitats. So the number of Warcraft will recover in a few years."

"…Humans are still too weak."

In the past, humans learned fighting spirit and magic, and only then were they able to snatch living space from monsters.

Although human footprints have now spread across the continent, Warcraft still poses a huge threat.

"The way Warcraft grows is different from that of humans... They seem to be able to obtain energy directly from the environment, unlike humans who have to use their own life force to refine fighting spirit or magic power."

Sometimes, Klia wonders whether humans have been on the wrong path from the beginning.

Although humans' fighting spirit and magic are indeed very powerful, they still have no advantage when facing monsters because their individual sizes are too small.

That is why humans use the remains of monsters to create huge weapons to make up for their own lack of size.

"…How's it going outside?"

"Report. The convoy is entering the building and confirming that there is a tunnel leading underground."

In order to prevent its weight from affecting the vehicle, the Spider Sakura is actually always in a suspended state.

Klia and Karin huddled in a corner of the carriage, trying to restrain their breath as much as possible.

"Using spiritual power to cover up the underground structure... How clever."

——Since the factory above is constantly emitting a large amount of spiritual energy, ordinary magic detection techniques are simply ineffective.

Under such cover, even if outsiders knew that the Warcraft materials would eventually be sent here, they would not be able to see the internal situation here from the outside.

"There should be a few more tests inside. Sister Karin, I'm counting on you."

"You want me to use my spiritual power to interfere with the detection, right? Your Highness, that would be a great inconvenience to you."

"No problem, it's just that I can't use magic for the time being."

When Karin released countless dark red particles from her body, Klia found that the flow of magic power in her body had completely stagnated.

——Under the interference of spiritual power, both fighting spirit and magic are difficult to function normally.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is there such a strong spiritual reaction in this car?"

"It must have been accidentally stained outside. Don't worry about it... open the gate!"

After a while, Klia heard a conversation coming from outside the car.

"The amount of materials has been decreasing recently. Are all the monsters in the Duke's territory almost killed?"

"If there is none, we can only send mercenaries to look for it at the border. I heard there are level 6 monsters lurking there."

"The Duke should give the order soon...Okay, let's go in."

——With the slight vibration of the carriage, Claire finally sneaked into Duke Booker's secret factory.
