Chapter 46: Opening Ceremony of the Reversal (1)

Sangye. A mining city nestled in the Apollachian Mountains.

Thanks to the globally surging demand for coal every year, this place was progressing day by day.

From factories and power plants to transportation means like ships, airships, and trains.

In this era, coal was essential in any industry.

Even in rural areas without a single carriage, coal was needed as a heating fuel.

However, the increased demand was not matched by the coal mining quantity.

Mines were being developed all over the continents, but there was a shortage of people willing to work.

Coal mining was truly dangerous, dirty, and strenuous work.

As a result, the value of coal and the miners' labor skyrocketed every day.

Rumors even circulated in the Alchemy Academy.
