Chapter 497: Time and Opportunity
"What?!"
Donald Mueller's voice literally toppled the roof, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Do you say it again?" he stretched out his hands and grabbed the mage's shoulders fiercely, gritting his teeth and grimacing, "You say it again?!"
"Mr. Donald, you calm down first......
The deputy head of the regiment who accompanied Donald continued to persuade him, although he was also a little incredulous, he was not a pure court mage, he was from a noble family, so he did not have much admiration for Ruerno, but he had heard a lot of legends about the chief.
The deputy head of the regiment was only a little shocked, then Donald was completely unwilling to believe it.
The mage's shoulders standing in front of Donald had already been pinched by him, and the mage felt as if the person in front of him had turned into a devouring beast, and if he was not careful in answering, he would be swallowed by the person in front of him.
"Mr. Donald, please calm down. β
The mage's tone was stiff, and he did not take the slightest step back: "Now that Chief Ruerno has been seriously injured and is still unconscious, we must recognize the facts, not deceive ourselves, you can't change the facts by doing this! We should now obey the command of Charlemagne and Elba's third seat, temporarily stabilize the association, and then check the entire association." We don't believe that in the association, only Yegor is a traitor, not only you, but even me will be investigated. β
Donald let go of his hands in silence, and the mage frowned and rubbed his shoulders.
The deputy head of the regiment couldn't help but sigh as he watched his former head fall into a wheelchair in pain.
They had just returned from the Winds of Sorrow, bringing back a very new and powerful technique - although they had stolen it at the time - but no one expected that Chief Ruerno would be 'sneak attacked' by a traitor because of a 'Poseidon's Wrath'.
If Yegor hadn't left, [Extreme Frost] would not have gotten out of control, and Chief Ruerno would not have been seriously injured because of this, and he would still be unconscious.
Regardless of whether Yegor was really a traitor or because he was killed, in short, now that he was missing, the second and third seats of the Court Mage Guild were discussed and characterized as a 'defector'.
Whether or not Yegor disappeared because of his subjective consciousness, whether Yegor really defected, whether Yegor was still alive or not, in short, he must have been responsible for the serious injury of Rulno Luchez because of his reasons.
Every court mage who followed Ruerno to Liujin Harbor had enough magic trinkets and enough defensive capabilities to at least be able to deal with the attacks of the 'transcendents', so it is likely that Yegor's disappearance was due to his defection, not 'disappearance for non-subjective reasons'.
"No, how could it be ......"
Donald clutched his head in pain, and even after confirming it again and again, he couldn't believe it was true.
A 'Poseidon's Wrath' was set off in the Eastern Ocean, and Chief Ruerno was seriously injured and still unconscious, and Yegor, known as the 'genius', was nowhere to be found, all of which happened when he returned to the Empire.
He had sorted out the order of events in his head, but he still couldn't believe it.
He had worked so hard to steal a new and powerful technology from the Grim Wind Leader, and they might be able to use this circle to create a magic furnace with the blood of the Kurkut Empire, and in addition to that, it could be used in many places, but Chief Ruerno was unconscious?
Although he could have given the circle to Charlemagne and Elba, these two legendary mages despised this kind of thing, preferring to treat magic as an art, and the process of moving forward required constant innovation and the search for knowledge closer to the truth - they were not as crazy as the arcanists, but they looked down on this 'applied' 'little thing'.
Donald doesn't know what to do now, the technical development of the airship only began after Chief Ruerno became the chief, it was Chief Ruerno who promoted the development of 'applied magic', Charlemagne and Elba have long been disgruntled, and now that Chief Ruerno is unconscious, they have the power to oppose the continued research of 'applied magic'.
These two legendary mages believe that the Arcane Empire's Arcanist Empire's Arcanists have led to the destruction and collapse of the country because they have studied this kind of thing too much, and now that they have learned their lesson, if they only study the truth, the gods will not stop them.
They had never seen the development of the Sadwind Territory, even if they did not use slaves, the slave trade was prohibited in the entire territory, and the Sadwind Territory was able to make the territory continue to develop.
There's nothing wrong with using magic, mages aren't 'scholars', they study the truth, but that's only part of the story, they need more than just 'knowledge', it's 'magic'!
Moreover, didn't the Arcane Empire also develop floating ships, floating cities, as well as magic energy furnaces and elemental furnaces?
Isn't it true that mages should use their knowledge to create more magic and make the world a better place in their quest for truth......
The thought came to an abrupt halt, and Donald suddenly woke up, scaring himself out of a cold sweat.
No, this wasn't his idea, this was the idea and practice of the head maid of the Sad Wind Leader, she thought so, and she had already done so!
Before he knew it, had he begun to agree with the head maid's thoughts?
But after thinking for a while, he realized that there was nothing wrong with this, just like Chief Ruerno's idea, Chief Runo also wanted to develop and apply magic to make people's lives more convenient, but due to the lack of energy, all they could do at present was to light up Norman's main and secondary roads with street lamps.
He found hope after traveling to the Grim Wind Lords this time, so he believed that the Leader of Urno was right, and that their empire would only become more prosperous if they used the power of magic to produce like the Grim Wind Lords.
Use magic and it won't fall silent!
β...... I got it!"
Donald Mueller took a deep breath and looked up at the mage's resolute gaze: "I'll be investigated, but now I have something to give to Charlemagne and Elbaβvery important!"
At this time, the mage standing in front of Donald had round eyes and his breathing became rapid.
With his mind spinning slightly, he remembered the reason why this team went to that territory - the 'Magic Energy Furnace'!
"You've brought back the manufacturing technology of the 'Magic Energy Furnace'?!"
Subconsciously, the mage blurted out this sentence.
"Nope. Donald shook his head, "It's not a magic furnace, it's another technology, but the importance of this technology is not below the magic furnace, so we will rush back." β
His mind swirled through his nimble brain, but the mage still couldn't think of any technique that wasn't important under the Furnace.
The Elemental Furnace is impossible, because if there really is such an important technology, it is impossible for this team to come back alive, but if it is said to be other technologies...... It may be very high-end, but it is not suitable for the current Kurkut Empire, and even if there is, it is impossible for Donald to contact it.
After hesitating for a moment, the mage nodded reluctantly: "I will inform Charlemagne and Elba, but I can't guarantee whether they will receive you." β
Donald nodded in thanks, "Thank you." β
He also knew that Charlemagne's second seat and Elba's third seat didn't care about these things.
However, the application of magic will not be silent, Chief Ruerno is now unconscious, not dead, Chief Runo will wake up.
It's just that he wants to try it now, the Sad Wind Leader has already used this technology in many ways, if he doesn't try it, maybe the empire will be overtaken by the Sad Wind Leader - he believes that the Sad Wind Leader has that potential, and that opportunity!
Since the Grim Wind Leader can do this, there is no reason why the Empire cannot become stronger, and even take the opportunity to surpass the Ogordon Empire......
