Henwell is sowhat surprised when Catherine directly hands over the formulas for two special alloys. He quickly realizes that Catherine is placing a significant bet on him.
Although there are two alloys, Greensteel is the superior one. However, its complex production process indicates a high level of difficulty in manufacturing it.
Henwell isn't particularly concerned about producing the alloys himself; he's more interested in understanding their principles. Any insight he can gain is a valuable reward for him.
After a few minutes, Henwell hands the parchnts back to Catherine. Princess Catherine frowns, "These are genuine! I have no reason to deceive you with fakes!"
Henwell smiles, "I know. I've already morized the formulas. These seem to be the originals, and you probably have limited ti to bring them out. Take them back."
Catherine looks at Henwell in astonishnt, "You rembered all that content?"
The parchnts are filled with extensive data, and Henwell has only morized about sixty percent. However, he has used the chat group's screenshot feature to record everything. This feature allows him to store information, and he can send up to 8MB of files each month, including images.
Taking screenshots requires a bit of ntal focus, but with practice, it's manageable. Most screenshots are under 1MB, though high-resolution images require more mory. By sending the screenshots to the chat group, Henwell can conveniently review and organize them later.
Each mber who can speak in the group has their own folder to store important knowledge and files. Most group mbers archive various docunts, although so mischievous ones store screenshots of beautiful won, complete with nas and descriptions, presumably to avoid the awkward situation of calling soone by the wrong na.
Catherine has no idea that Henwell has special ability and believes he genuinely has an eidetic mory. "Alright! I'll arrange for the delivery of so special materials ntioned in the alloy formulas. You need to start producing the equipnt I need as soon as possible."
With that, Catherine tucks the parchnts back into her chest and leaves promptly. Clearly, it wasn't easy for her to produce these docunts, and she needs to return them quickly.
Once Henwell is sure he's not being followed, he heads to a small courtyard he purchased in Divine Revelation City. Adela and Harvey, two attendants Henwell acquired, have been living there for a year. They assist a small trading caravan not officially linked to Henwell, handling various tasks. After a year of training, they no longer resemble their forr serf selves, and with proper nutrition, they've grown strong and healthy.
When Henwell arrives, they are montarily surprised but quickly welco him inside. In the privacy of a room, Henwell transcribes the alloy formulas. After double-checking for accuracy, he hands part of the information to Adela and Harvey, instructing them to have the caravan swiftly deliver it back to Peace Haven.

After giving his instructions, Henwell leaves the city and heads to the warehouse district in the west, where he activates a covert line. He uses a faster thod to send the remaining formula data back to Peace Haven.
This involves specially trained birds known as Wolf Falcons, which are adept at long-distance flights. Resembling a cross between pigeons and falcons, these birds are raptors, and Henwell invested heavily in their training.
Wolf Falcons can fly up to 400 kiloters a day, but to be safe, Henwell has established rest stations every 200 kiloters. Using a relay system, the information can be transmitted over 500 kiloters in a day. Within a week, it should reach Peace Haven.
However, Henwell isn't entirely confident in this thod's reliability, so he splits the data. Half is sent with the birds, and the other half is delivered by horseback relay. If one thod fails, Henwell, keeping cautious, is prepared to personally ensure the safe delivery of the information.
On the other hand, Henwell also wants to find out if anyone is watching him. If the mysterious organization or the Kingdom of Billie has taken notice of him or discovered Catherine's actions, they might attempt to intercept his sending.
However, even if they do, they'll only get half of the information, which is useless to the mysterious organization and insufficient to charge him with espionage by the kingdom.
Fortunately, everything goes smoothly. A month later, during the Harvest Festival, Henwell receives confirmation that Peace Haven has successfully received both parts of formulas. The encrypted ssages have been decoded and delivered to the secret workshop district. There, skilled craftsn have begun studying the materials.
anwhile, a new batch of weapons and equipnt arrives, along with special materials needed for the alloys that Princess Catherine has sent. These materials are carefully selected by Catherine and are exclusive to the Kingdom of Billie. Whether the formulas leak or if Vorry Duchy gets hold of them, it won't harm Billie since the unique minerals are unavailable elsewhere.
Of course, Henwell's primary goal is research. He plans to produce the alloys and create equipnt for Catherine. His secret workshop's craftsmanship and steel quality exceed Catherine's expectations. There are minimal losses and a low failure rate, contrary to what Catherine might have imagined.
Even after fulfilling Catherine's equipnt order, Henwell still has a significant amount of alloy material left. Two months later, Henwell is ready to deliver the first batch of premium equipnt, as promised.
While Henwell is busy with his dealings with the rebellious princess, Arius is equally engaged with the countess princess. The two nations are finally ironing out the specifics of their alliance through marriage, and it seems the arrangent is set. After a year of back-and-forth negotiations, both parties have finally co to the table, discarding unrealistic demands and showing genuine willingness to communicate.
This developnt brings relief to the diplomatic delegation. With the decision made at the highest levels, the factions on both sides have settled down, no longer causing disturbances. As spring arrives the following year, the wedding date is confird, with the duchy set to formally receive the bride before the Midsumr Festival. A grand procession will travel to the Kingdom of Billie for the occasion.
Henwell and the delegation will officially conclude their lengthy mission once this event takes place. Before the year's end, Henwell has already delivered two batches of premium weapons and equipnt for the knight order. The first batch includes twenty-five sets, and the second batch has forty sets.
Most of these weapons and equipnt are crafted from Mountainsteel, with only a few items made from Greensteel. Despite the expertise of the master smiths, Greensteel remains notoriously difficult to produce.
