How to use Magic Element Sensing to build the Magic Energy Machine—as he was tentatively calling it—was not something Zog needed to worry about.
What he needed to consider was where to find some Oli Crystal Ore.
The reserves in his treasury were substantial for a collection, but they were woefully inadequate for industrial production.
"Elsa, find out where the largest confirmed Oli Crystal vein is," Zog asked.
The price of Oli Crystal Ore should still be low right now. He had to buy it up quickly while it was cheap.
Once others realized this stuff could be used as an energy source, the price wouldn't just double or triple.
Moreover, it was best to buy from all sources simultaneously. If he bought in batches, some mine owners might find out the Zog Group was acquiring it and jack up their prices on the spot.
