Charlie wanted to know what items were being delivered to Duca Mines on this occasion.As Merlin quickly asked the deputy manager, but in French, the man promptly passed him the rail schedules for tomorrow.Merlin flipped through the schedule and eventually told Charlie, "It's the third train tomorrow that will be heading to Duca Mines. It has twenty freight carriages containing goods, and six of them have refrigerated compartments. The rest are conventional carriages."In addition, the train is listed under Moore Trading—that's the company which Duca Mines commissions for their imports. That would also mean they are the exporter of Duca Mines' phosphates and assisting them with importing new industrial equipment."Charlie asked, "Is there an inventory? Cargo manifests?""Yes," Merlin nodded. "Beef and miscellaneous US meat products: 120 tons. Dairy products: 40 tons, imported grains… and so on. According to the customs clearance form, the rest are mostly industrial and mining equ

Merlin nodded. "Take us to him."The security guard promptly replied, "Please, follow me."After that, he immediately turned and headed inside as Charlie and Merlin followed him to the second office at the very end of the second floor.As the security guard pointed at the door, Merlin walked up to it and knocked twice."Come in," a voice inside said in French.As Merlin opened the door with Charlie right behind him, the man exclaimed in surprise when he saw them, "Who are you people?"Still, Charlie had reached into his mind even as he finished speaking, and he turned to Merlin and said, "Go on, ask him about the freight management here and Duca's transport records—ideally, their railway usage."Merlin immediately did so, once again speaking in French.The deputy manager promptly gave them the full picture.As it turned out, Duca Mines transported nearly 40 million tons of phosphate every year, of which more than 10 million tons were exported as raw materials. The rest were re

The freight trains kept moving until the sky gradually darkened.As Charlie and Merlin observed their patterns, they noticed that the diesel freight trains always uncoupled in the freight yard before reversing on another rail track to couple with a different set of freight carriages.The loaded carriages left in the freight yard would then be towed to a factory building equipped with multiple rails for unloading. After that, everything would be sent through customs inspection before being transported by truck to the docks, where it would be loaded onto the ship.To the southeast of the freight yard was a huge classification yard.Any goods imported to the port of Casablanca on rails would then converge at that yard, where they would go through customs before being towed by locomotives to their final destination.This meant that the freight trains only ever reached the fringes of the port, and not the interior. Anything moved there still had to go through customs, whereas it was th

Merlin asked, " Can we really get in? Port security is usually very strict.""Don't worry, I have a plan," Charlie grinned. "Still, let's get to our room first. We should have a bird's eye view of the port since it's on the top floor."With that, they checked in, received their room cards, and headed up to the 22nd floor of the hotel. Charlie also made sure to get two different rooms—one in the southern end, and the other to the north, with the north having the panoramic view of the entire port they wanted.Even from the living area of the northern room, the two of them could see the entire port of Casablanca from the window pane. Merlin himself immediately spotted the rail tracks to the south, and there were at least twenty. He looked east along the railway line and said, "As far as I know, Casablanca is the economic life vein of Morocco—most of the phosphate mined is moved here on the rail tracks before being shipped from here to the rest of the world. Duca Mines is no exceptio

The next day, Charlie and Merlin assumed their new Portuguese-Oskian identities Helena had procured and flew directly from Norway to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.Their destination this time was Casablanca, the largest city and largest port of Morocco, which was quite famous for a classic movie with the same name. It was also one of the few relatively modern cities in Africa, ranking in their top ten.On the flight to Lisbon, Charlie sat in a semi-private first-class cabin, casting the hand seals he had learned from the aurora under the blanket he covered himself with.After arriving in Lisbon, Charlie felt that his Reiki had improved significantly again, and once again reminded himself that he must infuse the gained Reiki into the ring given to him by Vera. It may hide a great purpose, and he would like to see what it was by infusing it with more Reiki.In the past, Charlie might not have been willing to do it since the ring was just a bottomless pit that devoured Reiki, but he

With that in mind, Charlie asked Merlin, "Let's say I want to transport thousands out of the Moroccan mine to Syria without anyone noticing. Would you happen to have an idea?"Merlin pursed his lips worriedly. "That's just too many people, and the mine is far from the coast. It is truly impossible not to leave a trail..."Pausing, he nodded as he said, "That said, I think the only option is the railway. Without waterways or access to ships, trains are about the only transport capable of moving thousands, while cars and airplanes simply won't be enough."Charlie asked, "And if I asked you to come up with a plan for that, what would you do?"Merlin thought about it. "I would first find a way to get the railway's schedules, along with export procedures, approval process, and other logistic details. That being said, it's a dedicated rail line for transporting phosphates, so it should be available to every mine."Either each mine has its own freight train and pays the government for us
