Carlotta knew that the fact she was the Moon had to be buried deep, never to be revealed. Luckily, only she and Alia knew about it.
As for the use of the Steller Workshop, it also had to be done with extre caution, ensuring no one saw her using this alchemical creation.
’In short, for , the priority is to leave the Kingdom of Brandon, this land of trouble, as soon as possible.’
Carlotta thought to herself.
Setting aside her own affairs, the impending coup d’état in the Kingdom of Brandon within the next few days will inevitably bring chaos, and she certainly couldn’t stay here.
She hadn’t expected that Olivia Garcia would be able to beco queen through a coup.
Before leaving Maple Leaf Town, Carlotta had one more place to go.
When dealing with the yer Adventurer Group outside the Sky Island, Carlotta had obtained a piece of intelligence stating that there was a stronghold belonging to the yer Adventurer Group in Maple Leaf Town, which was their treasure vault.
She didn’t know what was in this treasure vault, but since she had already co to Maple Leaf Town, she felt it was worth checking out. If it was ntioned in the intelligence, perhaps this treasure vault would be sowhat unusual.
Maple Leaf Town, Green Vine Street, No. 181. Carlotta arrived at the location in no ti.
It was a house with a courtyard, looking quite luxurious. Soone happened to pass by not far away and exclaid, "As expected of the yer Adventurer Group’s residence," before leaving.
Carlotta was pondering how to explain to Alia when she heard this. She imdiately leaned closer to Alia and whispered, "Alia, did you hear that? This is the yer Adventurer Group’s territory. Do you rember the yer Adventurer Group?"
"Of course."
Alia rembered it clearly. The first peak tier Listener they eliminated after entering the Sky Island was Victor, the leader of the yer Adventurer Group. They had seized the opportunity to bombard him to death with the Moon God Cannon of the Moonlight.
Carlotta whispered, "The yer Adventurer Group is almost wiped out, and this place is deserted. I think we can go in and take a look. Who knows if we might gain sothing?"
Alia couldn’t help but show a surprised expression, "Aren’t you planning to leave this area quickly?"
Carlotta exclaid, "Leaving in a hurry at this ti is bound to attract attention. Only those who have gained a lot and fear being targeted would leave in a rush. If we are calm and linger a bit longer, it will be less noticeable."
Alia pondered, "That does make sense."
There were quite a few people around. To be precise, coastal towns were now overcrowded, so Carlotta couldn’t just climb over the wall.
But it didn’t matter. She walked straight to the main gate, then asked Alia to shield her slightly with her body before directly crushing the lock with her hand. Thus, they boldly walked inside.
There was no one in the house. After Carlotta and Alia entered, they began searching everywhere. It didn’t take long before they found a warehouse. Upon opening it, they discovered a large number of items piled inside.
"I thought they would have a basent warehouse and hide their things, but they just put them in a warehouse like this?"
Carlotta was a bit surprised, but regardless, she stepped forward and quickly began collecting the items.
Most of the items here were various materials, mostly used in alchemy. There were materials for alchemical tools, materials for alchemical dicines, and materials for card making.
Carlotta collected them by category. Those that could be used for making alchemical tools were directly placed into the Steller Workshop and fed into the furnace.
As she continued to stuff things in, Carlotta’s eyelids suddenly twitched. She noticed that the progress of the Level 1 ship on the Stellar Workshop’s wall screen jumped from 36% to 40%.
"Did I put sothing strange inside?"
Carlotta was surprised and quickly took out the item she had just placed into the furnace.
As she took the item in her hand, the progress of the Tier 1 ship dropped back to 36%.
"What’s wrong?"
Alia walked over curiously.
"This item actually provides 4% progress for the construction of the alchemical ship. This is comparable to Eternal Mithril. What is this?"
Carlotta held a thin sheet and looked at it.
It seed to be a scale from a magical creature. It looked thin, and Carlotta couldn’t tell its use, but the hint from the Steller Workshop was enough to prove it was an extraordinary item.
"Dragon scale?"
Alia quickly made a judgnt, "It should be a scale left by a magical creature with dragon blood. The rank of this magical creature must be very high, perhaps even a Weaver, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to leave such high-quality scales. Because even for Weaver-level related magical creatures, not all of their scales can reach this level."
"So that’s how it is."
Carlotta understood.
She felt that the yer Adventurer Group mbers likely placed this scale here casually because they didn’t recognize its true value.
It seed this was the reason the intelligence had ntioned this place.
Carlotta put the scale back into the furnace and watched as the progress of the Tier 1 ship returned to 40% on the Steller Workshop’s wall screen. She smiled with satisfaction.
Then, she continued to search through the remaining items. Unfortunately, after putting all the remaining materials related to alchemical tools into the furnace, the progress of the Tier 1 ship remained at 40% and did not increase.
Clearly, a large portion of the materials were completely useless for the construction of the Tier 1 ship, and even if placed in the furnace, they would not be counted.
Those materials could only be consud when she needed to craft other alchemical items in the future.
"Let’s go. It’s ti to slowly leave the Kingdom of Brandon."
Carlotta said to Alia.
Alia nodded.
They left the place and gradually approached the outskirts of Maple Leaf Town, where a group of people were already waiting.
Before entering the Sky Island, so of the subdued pirates had already been added to the soldier roster and were waiting outside.
After entering the Sky Island, in the outer areas, Alia had also subdued so people and added them to the soldier roster.
In the inner areas, she had subdued so listeners.
As they left Sky Island, Alia used the Soldier Roster to control these people and directed them to gather towards Maple Leaf Town. At this mont, a group of people were waiting outside the town.
Of course, before they ca, Alia had inspired them to find ways to alter their appearances. Now, they look quite different from their original appearances.
Upon arrival outside Maple Leaf Town, Alia quietly inford Carlotta about the situation of these people.
"I understand the situation. They are still willing to follow us, which ans they are impressed by us. Then let them follow. For those who are more prominent, it’s best to give them so Illusion Masks... Speaking of which, we can mass-produce Illusion Masks through the Steller Workshop. Since we have the blueprint, let’s arrange them for everyone."
Carlotta’s eyes grew brighter as she spoke.
Thinking of the Steller Workshop she possessed, Carlotta’s spirits lifted. She imdiately asked Alia for an Illusion Mask and placed it into the Steller Workshop as a blueprint.
The Illusion Mask, as a standard alchemical tool of the assassin organization Sunset Rose, had its production thod kept highly secret and was difficult for outsiders to replicate. It could be considered a signature item of Sunset Rose.
However, no matter how difficult sothing was to replicate, it was not a problem in front of the Steller Workshop, as the Steller Workshop could be considered a super alchemical creation.
Before long, on the wall of the Steller Workshop, a third page of light appeared, detailing the progress and required materials for the Illusion Mask. Because Carlotta had set it to only require an alchemical-grade Illusion Mask, the materials needed were not too excessive.
She then proceeded to mass-produce so Illusion Masks, a total of over twenty. This was more than enough for the current situation. If more were needed, the Steller Workshop could simply make more.
Seeing Carlotta take out so many Illusion Masks from the Steller Workshop, even Alia was montarily stunned, once again feeling the convenience and terrifying power of the Steller Workshop.
"We absolutely cannot let anyone know we possess sothing like this."
Alia couldn’t help but say it again.
"Of course not."
Carlotta carefully put away the Steller Workshop before going to et up with everyone on the Soldier Roster. She had everyone put on the Illusion Masks, changing their appearances, and then they left Red Maple Town.
For the next few days, Carlotta and her group traveled leisurely in carriages through various parts of the Brandon Kingdom, heading towards the outside of the kingdom in a relaxed manner.
To avoid attracting attention, they didn’t choose to leave in a hurry. Instead, they used their leisurely pace to mislead others, naturally not drawing much attention to themselves.
During this ti, the Brandon Kingdom was in a state of chaos.
Sky Island had been hidden for many days, but its impact still swept through everywhere like a storm. Major newspapers featured Sky Island-related matters on their front pages every day. The first-place winner, "Moon," was frequently ntioned, and countless people were trying to uncover "Moon’s" true identity.
Additionally, as ntioned in previous intelligence, a coup d’état occurred in the Brandon Kingdom after several days. Olivia Garcia, wielding the power of the Floating Castle and with the support of Mona Durant, the Captain of the Royal Guard, successfully forced her brother to retreat and beca the new queen of the Brandon Kingdom.
This event also caused a huge stir in the Brandon Kingdom. If Olivia had not obtained the Floating Castle, the coup would have been difficult to succeed. This epoch-making alchemical marvel brought her unimaginable benefits, making her status throughout the kingdom and even the entire continent extraordinary. That’s why the coup was so easy.
After going in circles, Carlotta and her group finally arrived at the southern part of the Brandon Kingdom. Further south was the Farrell Kingdom.
The Farrell Kingdom was a kingdom located in the southeastern corner of the North Continent, bordering the Starlight Sea to the east and the Swan Sea to the south.
As Carlotta and her group crossed the border from the Brandon Kingdom into the Farrell Kingdom, they found an unusually large number of people.
At the border, there were even many soldiers from both countries, with so leading commanders and generals engaged in negotiations.
"What’s going on?"
Many people were passing by. When Sky Island appeared earlier, many people from the Farrell Kingdom had rushed over. Now, as they were on their way back, the area was not so peaceful, with many people coming and going.
So were curious, and after so inquiries, the reason was quickly relayed.
"A mber of the Farrell royal family died in this Sky Island competition."
Soone spread this news.
It was for this reason that the soldiers of the Farrell Kingdom were negotiating with the Brandon Kingdom to understand the inside story.
Carlotta couldn’t help but sigh when she heard this. Sky Island offered countless opportunities, but it was also fraught with countless dangers. With just a little carelessness, even soone of extrely noble status could perish within it.
This matter had nothing to do with her, and she continued to drive her carriage forward.
However, it wasn’t long before she learned a piece of news that made her montarily dazed.
The royal family mber from the Farrell Kingdom was nad Eunice Farrell. She had established the Rose Adventurer Group under the alias "Black Rose" and adventured in the Brandon Kingdom.
Carlotta hadn’t expected it to be that explosive magic practitioner!
Eunice, under the combined attack of Rolf and Marshall, was forced to detonate herself and die.
It was also because Eunice had weakened the two of them beforehand that she was able to kill Marshall, elevating her ranking to first place.
"So it was you."
Carlotta’s eyes held a complex emotion, a touch of lancholy.
"I suppose it counts as revenge for you too,"
Carlotta muttered.
She continued to move away, knowing she couldn’t step forward and tell the people of the Farrell Kingdom that she had avenged Eunice.
The group thus entered the Farrell Kingdom.
This coastal country looked slightly different from the Brandon Kingdom at first glance. Although the buildings were generally dod, they were fond of carvings. Various sea beasts and images of mythical sea gods were carved onto different buildings, giving them a unique characteristic.
Carlotta and her group entered the nearest city in several carriages, not attracting any attention at all.
Inside the carriage.
Alia sat quietly, with a short segnt of Starlight Sword Aura materializing before her, floating there as she observed it. This was her cultivation thod, observing everything constructed by mory magic could help her refine this magic.
Carlotta also held "The Complete Guide to Card Magic" and was reading it. This was mainly because she had reached the pinnacle of Elven Knight Path, and she likely wouldn’t need to practice for a long ti.
"Miss, we’ve arrived at a rchant guild."
After a while, a subordinate’s voice ca from outside the carriage.
Carlotta snapped back to attention and put away her book, saying, "I’ll go procure so things."
Alia nodded.
Now that she possessed the Steller Workshop, Carlotta felt that the more alchemical-related items she had, the better. Therefore, she had to acquire enough relevant materials.
The city of Bor, where they were, was a border city between the Farrell Kingdom and the Brandon Kingdom, frequently visited by people from both countries for trade. Thus, its comrcial operations were quite good, and she could procure many things here.
Carlotta planned to make so purchases here before leaving. However, she dared not purchase too much, fearing it would attract attention, so she could only buy a small amount.
"When I reach the Bass Archipelago, I’ll make large-scale purchases then?"
Carlotta muttered.
The Bass Archipelago was an island in the Swan Sea, a true trade hub where humans, vampires, elves, and other races could be found, exchanging the specialties of different races.
