Returning to the Southeastern Province, Hudson didn't return to his territory but headed straight to the Berkshire Shipyard.
Seeing is believing.
Although the credibility of the Royal Family was decent, he still needed to inspect the shipyard he had bought at great expense.
After a simple disguise, Hudson adopted the alias "Borden", posing as an ordinary merchant. After demonstrating his financial power, he successfully gained permission to visit the shipyard.
Hudson wasn't knowledgeable about the specifics of the technology, but from the mountainous piles of Iron Oak, the underlying strength of the shipyard was evident.
There were many types of wood suitable for shipbuilding, but very few were suitable for carving Magic Formations.
Iron Oak was one of them. Due to its extensive distribution in the Alpha Kingdom, it became the main material for shipbuilding.
Of course, the term "extensive distribution" is relative to other varieties of wood, and it isn't exactly a common tree.
