"Different forces, does the Duke mean that the wizards on the Heretic Island are hostile to each other?"
Lorne didn't know if this was good news for him.
The mutual opposition meant that the Island of Heresy would not have the energy to cause trouble when he was struggling.
But among the three wizarding forces, one of them must be his fellow countryman's force.
With the advantage of being a time traveler, they have been living on the island for so many years and even invented the steam engine, but they have not yet been able to unify the entire island.
So, how scary are the other two wizards?
Conjuring flames out of thin air, Lorne wanted to ask the Duke carefully what the specific situation was.
But not only did the two have no friendship, but because of Athena's existence, Lorne was always wary of Duke Stuart around him, so that Baron Fast was always wary of the Duke.
Even though the Duke of Stuart has such a high status, he doesn't put on any airs in front of Lorne.
As long as it doesn't involve the secrets of their Stuart family and some questions about the heresy island, the Duke is happy to answer Lorne.
"Of course, and the fight between them is much more intense than we imagined.
Thanks to them attacking each other, I was able to sell some things I couldn’t use at a high price.”
It turns out that the Stuart family made their fortune by reselling weapons.
In a place where fighting begins, warmongering is indeed the most profitable profession.
But Lorne was very surprised.
Since the Heretic Island is a place prone to frequent wars, how could they have any free time to develop literature and art?
Even with the help of his fellow countryman, a place where even life is at risk is not a good soil for literature and art.
But he didn't know how to speak about this kind of thing, and with the Duke's IQ, it was probably impossible to understand his doubts.
He could only continue to ask some simple things.
Lorne, who was about to go to the Island of Heresy, still valued this journey.
"But since there are three forces on the Heretic Island, where should I go?"
This is a very critical question.
Lorne initially thought that the Island of Heresy was a country.
Now that it is actually divided into three parts and they are not subordinate to each other, then the matter of sending envoys will be complicated.
It is impossible for him to run through all three forces.
The Duke of the Sea, who is specifically responsible for escorting envoys to the Heretic Island, is certainly not so irresponsible.
It has always been his duty to explain the situation of the Heretic Island to the envoys, but Lorne should feel honored to have the Duke explain it himself.
"Baron, don't worry.
Although there are three forces on the Heretic Island, there is only one that allows people from our empire to enter openly.
The one who has the most contact with us is just that wizard.
The people on the Heretic Island call him the Creator, but we are used to calling him the Sea Wizard.
Because it is said that he has the power to control the ocean, but that is just a rumor.
I don't believe that anyone can control the ocean.
And according to the records of my Stuart family, that sea wizard is not the previous sea wizard.
I don’t know exactly how many years ago, there seemed to be a war on their side, and it was only after that war that we discovered that the Sea Wizard had changed people.
Then, the new wizard suddenly changed his previous attitude and started to communicate with us more.
Those novel things slowly began to flow into our empire after that period. " The words of the Duke of the Sea made Lorne's heart beat wildly.
According to the Duke, the so-called wizard of the sea was 100% his fellow countryman.
He is still alive after so many years.
What's even more annoying is that from what Duke Stuart said, the wizard's lifespan seems to be very long.
A time traveler who can control the element of water already sounds very difficult to deal with.
Besides, that guy stayed so long that he even built a fucking steam engine.
How does Lorne deal with this?
"If he takes the initiative to contact our empire, he must have a very bad relationship with the other two wizards.
Does your Excellency the Duke know the situation of the other two wizards?

Maybe we can try to make them fight even more fiercely.
In this way, your business can grow bigger and bigger, which will also be beneficial to our empire. " Lorne himself didn't have the confidence to deal with that fellow, so the guy focused on the other two wizards.
Since they can fight against the so-called creator, even if they are slightly inferior, they should not be much weaker.
Baron Fast's positive attitude surprised Duke Stuart.
Although he knew that Lorne's trip was with a special mission, after all, the Island of Heresy has as long a history as the Empire, and it is impossible to conquer it in a short time. .
Lorne was so serious that he didn't know how to answer.
But the young baron was very sensitive, and he could see the extreme discord between the Ocean Wizard and the other two wizards just from his brief introduction.
For such a young nobleman with military talent and the ability to understand current affairs, the Duke of the Sea had completely piqued Lorne's interest.
"That's right, having honest dealings with our empire will definitely offend the other two wizards."
Confirming Lorne's guess, the Duke suddenly dismounted and scratched the ground with his sword, "This is the sphere of influence of the Ocean Wizard. , and here and here are the territories of the other two wizards.
Can you find anything?”
Lorne, who also dismounted, could naturally see clearly that the Duke had drawn for him a simplified map of the Heretic Island, and based on the location he indicated, Lorne understood what the Duke meant.
"Being sandwiched between two guys who are hostile to me, I can still occupy the vastest land.
That guy called the Creator is so powerful."
"I couldn't believe it at first.
If he hadn't secretly provided help to the other two families later, I guess the other two wizards wouldn't necessarily be his opponents if they joined forces."
Regarding the help that the Duke said, Lorne had to put a question mark on it.
Who knows how much benefit Duke Stuart received from others.
Under the pressure of his fellow countryman, the arms business of the Stuart family probably increased several times.
With such a big piece of cake, the Duke was naturally not willing to let Lorne break the balance.
Because no matter who wins in the end, it will not be good for the Stuart family.
"This balance is the result of our Stuart family's hard work over the years.
Once they are stimulated to fight, whichever side unifies the Island of Heresy will be bad news for our empire."
As expected, the Duke did not agree with Lorne's idea.
After being stable for so many years and earning countless gold coins from it, the Duke of the Sea was unwilling to risk trying to capture the Heretic Island.
Even if the wizards were successfully eliminated, it would be the empire and the church that would benefit.
And when the Heretic Island came under the control of the empire, the Stuart family was naturally no longer able to easily maintain its position as the richest man by selling arms and monopolizing the output of the Heretic Island
