That night, Sam came out of an old house with a smile on his face. He just made a huge deal which will also give him some advantages.
Although, Black water is something he would destroy sooner or later, that doesn’t mean he cannot use it for his own reasons.
The next day, the whole empire has rumours starting about something. Sam has destroyed the fields under the imperial authority due to his conflict with the emperor and because the officials are incompetent that they cannot catch Sam, they started taking their anger on Sam’s friends and the people low level guards who are responsible for guarding the fields.
They are even planning on executing them. This rumour was fresh out of over and the people who have nothing better than gossip started spreading out like wild fire. Even the authorities started hearing the news soon enough and they started to panic.
They wanted to quell the rumours but the source is nowhere to be found.
Sam is using the Blackwater to do this. In a war particularly an internal war, the one with most information will have a higher chance to win. And one with the control over the information will have even higher possibilities.
Sam knew how deep the Blackwater penetrated into the empire and he has enough money to use them.
Now, the whole Black water will not only be providing intel to him, they will also be manipulating the information according to his wishes.
This will make things very much easier for him and after that, there was another news that spread that Sam is in the Indigo city.
The officials of the Indigo city got alerted and didn’t know how to react. General Fischer though started his journey towards the Indigo city.
Meanwhile, Sam is far away from the Indigo city and is now catching the Long-tailed chinchilla.
This chinchilla is unlike other rodent species. Generally, the rodents will be a bane to all types of vegetation but this chinchilla is a boon for them.
This chinchilla is a natural fertiliser machine and that fertiliser is something that works wonders.
The Long-tailed chinchilla generally feeds on all kinds of plants whether they are spiritual herbs or not. And the excrement of this chinchilla has a sixty percent chance of producing a seed of the herb it consumed or the excrement will be a highly valuable fertiliser for the same kind of plant.
But the problem is if they eat spiritual herbs, they would be dying soon due to spiritual energy poisoning and their carcasses are something that the beasts would go crazy about. But the problem is the plants that grew off of these excrements will not be too pure and they would be like a mass-produced knockoff compared to a handmade antique.
So, nobody would use these for cultivating herbs and when they are in the forests, they would increase the vegetation a lot which would attract all types of herbivore beasts and which would in turn attract the carnivores. This small rodent can start a food chain in a place.
But the main ability of these chinchillas that attracted Sam here, is that their digestion. They are almost incapable of diarrhoea. Yes, they actually don’t take the nutrient content of any plant rather they would take the vitality of the plant that too not completely. This is the main reason for their excrements to have this type of quality.
And why does Sam need these and not just one? That is for the next operation, he is going to use these small harmless chinchillas and these would be one of the major players too.
They are going to execute the operation and Sam doesn’t even have to do much work.
After four days, he went to the place where he planned to meet with Watt and Jack. They are already waiting for him there and what is Philip doing, he is in the library.
He is in the library browsing through all the Artisan data.
Even though, he is already a Great realm cultivator, he is still fixated on being an Artisan, Sam doesn’t have many objections. Even though, the information is valuable, Sam doesn’t have a problem sharing it with a friend.
And now he doesn’t have much to do anyway.
The Place Sam met with Watt is the north-eastern corner of the southern Star Dukedom and last main source of the Dukedom.
That is right, this is Sam’s last target in the southern star.
Authorities are having a misconception that Sam is destroying all their resources one by one, but no. Sam is destroying only the main resources of the Southern Star. The main income and the supply sources right under the imperial authority.
He doesn’t have time or energy to mess with the minor resources of the southern star. And the presence of these minor resources is going to be one of the players in his big plan, so he is not going to deal with them.
Now he is in a town named the Miner’s town. The name of the town is self-explanatory. Near this town, there are many metal mines and this place is where the miners and their families stay.
The majority of the weapons, armors and all kinds of war supplies that uses metals get their source of metal from this town.
The elemental metals are not that common and most of them use the neutral metals. The elemental metal wines are completely under the Artisan tower control as they leased them from the empire that is for almost a century.
How does Sam know? That is one of the perks of being an Artisan that too a high-level one. Chaya gave him this information.
Now, these mines are going to utter waste at least the people of the empire.
Because, Sam is going to use a plant and the Chinchilla in combination.
Yes, the Plant that Watt and Jack went to get.
This is looks just like a type of grass and it grows where the mineral content is high, particularly a metallic one and an abundance of rocky terrain. This plant has another function and that is releasing some kind of gas.
This gas is invisible and it causes extreme nausea.
The main advantage is that this grass doesn’t even grow that long.
It will grow very short and in very small creeks. It doesn’t even take that long. Even though, due to its size the gas expulsion is not that effective and only works in the smaller range, the mines are places where the space is compact and dark.
This place is an extremely great place to use this.
In this place it is extremely great to use this, since getting rid of it is also difficult. As for just burning the whole thing, it is actually a worst thing to do, because if it burn in a large quantity, there would be some serious diarrheal affects for the inhaler and the entire Miner’s town wouldn’t be able to escape from the effects.
If inhaled in high amounts, even the Nascent stage cultivators will have bear the suffering.
But before he does that, Sam has to train these chinchillas.
Even though, he doesn’t like doing this, he has to and at least these chinchillas wouldn’t be seriously harmed.
Right now, Sam is using the negative reinforcement training.
He placed all kinds of plants that these chinchillas eat along with the Nausea grass. If these chinchillas eat any other plant than the Nausea grass, they would receive a splash of water from Sam.
This went on for two days and after that, Sam had the shadow mice over and explained them how things work and what to eat what not to eat.
Why didn’t he tell them earlier? The chinchillas don’t have as high intelligence as other beasts, they only act on their instincts.
After two days of explanation. Sam left these chinchillas discreetly in the mines.
But he didn’t leave them by themselves, he stayed in the mice for the next week along with these chinchillas. So, that they won’t die in the hands of the miners, but his worries are unfounded, the miners didn’t care much about the rodents because they are actually looking exactly like a type of mouse species that live in mines.
And since the miner got used to them, they didn’t care much about chinchillas.
After a week in the mines, Sam caught all chinchillas back and went away.
He visited one of the abandoned mines and made a mark on it.
"SAM WAS HERE."
His friends all sat there and had a barbeque in the open.
As they drank some fresh fruit juice along with the beasts.
Sam laid down and was thinking how far he has come since the start of his journey in this world.
It has been three years and now he is starting a fight with the whole empire. The Emperor who can kill him in a wink is now his enemy and not only did he piss him off, he is playing with the whole empire and making him even more mad and now he is have barbeque out in the open with his friends.
"What is our next plan?" Philip asked.
"You are asking as if you are doing something. You are going to hole up in that library again."
Before Sam could reply, Jack already fired back.
"I am trying to increase my arsenal of knowledge so that I can work better in the future, what the hell do you know?" Philip said in mock anger.
"Okay, stop it. We have to see the results of the work before going anywhere. So, we will wait for a while and see how the Empire will react."
"Then, we are on leave till then. Hurray."
Philip started cheering.
"Tssk. Like you care. You are on holiday from the start." This time it is Watt.
"Watt, you are also going against me? Don’t think I would beat you up."
"Like, hell you can beat me up. I am not afraid of you."
Just like that, the four youngsters who are in a war with the empire are having barbeque while cheering and bickering.
