After two weeks of round-trip travel, Sylutia led the team back to the station again. This time they brought the required large amount of charcoal, some metals and a small amount of Firestone.

After solving the fuel problem at the station, the glass refining can finally continue.

In the following month, Sylutia, with an increasingly skilled team, began to produce glass in batches and build large greenhouses.

After this practice and study, several students have mastered the basic knowledge of "Six-Part Glaze School", and they no longer need to be hosted by Sylutia in the future.

After the construction of three large greenhouses was completed, the construction project had to be suspended due to the exhaustion of auxiliary materials.

"The remaining small amount of materials can be used to build another building. I wonder which one Mr. Sylutia is going to choose?"

"The current options are the large restaurant, the meditation hall, and the indoor Training Ground and the Association buildings." The scholar on the side asked.

"Let me think about it." Sylutia did not answer immediately, but sat at the table and thought.

Under Yinxue's hair and bangs, her blue eyes were exceptionally clear. When the girl was thinking, her serious and beautiful expression attracted the attention of others.

He obviously looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but at first glance, the greenness between his eyebrows has not dissipated, and his body has the grace and grace of a girl, but when he is thinking, he also exudes a trustworthy aura, which makes other people around him who were originally anxious slowly calm down.

Although Sylutia himself has no self-consciousness, many students in the station regard this girl as the object of their dreams, but the station has not yet settled down, and no one has confessed or acted at this time.

"There is no urgent need for buildings for exercise and offices at the moment. Let's build a dining area for everyone first so that they can be used for daily activities."

Considering that Dark Mist Mountains where they are located is a dim area where sunlight is hard to find, Sylutia is worried that everyone will become depressed if they live there for a long time, so they decided to improve the comfort of life first, and add more activities, which can also bring some joy and relieve the dull mood caused by the environment.

"As for the second floor of the restaurant, the framework has been built first. It is currently used as an office. All departments and branches in the station can gather here to discuss and solve problems."

"We understand." The young scholar nodded in agreement.

After discussing the construction issues, Sylutia also asked about the situation of "Candlekeep School".

"I remember Candlekeep School has branches in many countries, right."

"Yes." The other party was surprised that Sylutia was interested in these.

"Are you familiar with the Regas Kingdom?" After Sylutia came to the Woodland, many people didn't know where Regas Kingdom was. They had only heard of the Anti Kingdom.

"I know, that is the country developed by "Knight King" Regard·Buwili. It has been established for more than 800 years." The other party nodded. For scholars who are familiar with history, understanding such past events is only the foundation.

"Have you been there before?" Sylutia asked again.

"I have been to White Cliff City and studied there for half a year." The other party continued to answer.

"Can you tell me about the situation there, please." Hearing the girl's soft voice pleading, the young scholar was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening.

"This is just a trivial matter." He shifted his gaze and no longer looked at the girl in front of him. He felt that if he continued, he might make a fool of himself today.

"Ahem, let's start with when I first went there..."

Then he talked about the past of studying at White Cliff City four years ago. Knight, the most famous nobleman in the city at that time, won the championship in the competition, as well as several of the most famous men and women in the circle of young nobles.

"Among the children of His Majesty Grace, the eldest prince Leon is tall and majestic. He is nearly forty years old. He is a powerful third-level Knight. He is the commander of the palace guards and the successor designated by His Majesty."

"Although the eldest prince Leon has no major shortcomings, he is a bit mediocre compared to the smart and talented second prince. When I was at White Cliff City, I heard that several nobles supported the second prince Sigley to inherit the throne."

"Among them is a representative of the military, Viscount Callen." Hearing this name, Sylutia was slightly startled, thinking of that familiar name.

"The Viscount Callen family has been the leader of the Golden Tree Legion for generations. Their ancestors also followed "Knight King" Regard in battle, and are highly trusted by the royal family."

"In this generation, Viscount Callen believes that the southern part of the mainland will undergo many turbulent changes in the next ten years or so, and a more powerful monarch will be needed to control it in order for the Regas Kingdom to prosper."

"This idea was approved by many nobles, so the second prince, who was more talented and smarter, was supported by them."

"Even Viscount Callen's daughter has made a marriage agreement with the second prince, which makes the Alliance even stronger."

"I remember Viscount Callen's daughter, her name is Iona, right." Sylutia had mixed feelings in her heart.

"Yes, that blond lady is a famous lady in White Cliff City. She is very popular, sometimes even overshadowing Princess Musa."

"Since the eldest princess Matia married away, the only remaining second princess in the royal family, Musa, should be the most eye-catching noble girl among White Cliff City. However, when I was studying, I often heard that Miss Iona held banquets and dinner parties, excluding Princess Musa."

"Why is this? There is no conflict of interest between them, right?" Sylutia was puzzled.

"I don't know the specific details. I just heard that before Princess Matia married far away, she was the eldest princess and was highly respected by many noble ladies. At that time, in order to bring the relationship between the royal family and the family closer, many nobles would send their children to the palace to serve as maids for princes or princesses and accompany them to study. Iona also served as maid for the eldest princess Matia at that time."

"But during that period, Miss Iona seemed to have been reprimanded by Princess Matia, which made her feel humiliated and uncomfortable, and later she had to leave the palace early."

"In other words, Iona can't find Princess Matia to avenge her grievances, so she can only transfer her anger to Princess Musa?" Sylutia recalled the time spent with Iona. Although the other party was a little proud, he was not that stingy or unreasonable person.

"At that time, many people in the aristocratic circles speculated like this, but I just heard it through hearsay."

"However, this good times did not last long. Later, Anti Kingdom and Regas Kingdom fought. The battle commanded by Viscount Callen failed, resulting in the Regas Kingdom He lost more than forty Knight and tens of thousands of standing troops. Such a disastrous defeat ruined his reputation. He suffered angry accusations from Grand Duke of Regas and a group of nobles, and was finally deprived of his title."

"How did that battle fail?" Sylutia was curious.

"At that time, Regas Kingdom and Anti Kingdom had equal strength, and the two sides fought over Windmill Plains, which was the granary and important territory in the north of the Regas Kingdom."

"In the early days of the battle, Viscount Callen relied on superb military command to gain a certain upper hand. However, in the subsequent battle, Anti Kingdom sent a surprise attack force to the rear, cut off the supply line, and suddenly rushed out during the battle. The army formation commanded by Viscount Callen was attacked from both sides. Many soldiers broke up and fled in panic, which ultimately led to the failure of the entire campaign."

"Is that troop strong?" Sylutia asked.

"They are not locals, but alien troops hired by the Anti Kingdom. It is said that they are from the tribe of the Lion-Bite Mountains. If we further explore their origins, someone in Candlekeep School speculates that they may be the mountain tribes expelled by "Knight King" Regard."

"During the battle, they suffered huge casualties and killed the Knight who were defeated by the Regas Kingdom. This directly led to the subsequent significant reduction of the backbone of the Regas Kingdom and the decline of national power."

"If it weren't for the blood feud, these alien tribes would not be so desperate. Later, after research by scholars, their ancestors were indeed the mountain tribes who fled from the Regas Kingdom..."

"I understand."

The spiral of history? She recalled the history of the Regas Kingdom's creation that she had seen. Although it felt like fate had reversed when something like this happened, what Sylutia didn't understand was how the tribes in the secluded mountains had the combat power to rival Regas Kingdom's regular army.

Unfortunately, few people know much about that tribe, and this scholar has only heard a few mentions.

The revival of a mountain tribe caused Regas Kingdom to fail in a key battle, which caused Viscount Callen to lose power and made Iona come to the remote Scorched Stone City, where she later met him again.

Everything is like a domino, a small change will eventually have a large-scale impact.
