Chapter 554: Prague's Conditions (Part II)
The box Prague had pulled out wasn't big, even smaller than the palm of his hand, and it was blue velvet on the outside, though Jenn wouldn't have thought it was for an engagement ring. He reached out and opened the box, and soon Jenn saw a purple medallion lying quietly inside. It is pentagonal in shape and looks like a large diamond. The difference is that in the center of this medal is etched an open book, and the famous Colencian saying can be faintly seen in the circle next to it -- knowledge is glory.
"Order of the Bachelor of Ten Thousand Laws."
Even Jenn couldn't help but move when he saw this medal, he put down the medal in his hand, raised his head and looked at Prague silently.
The Order of the Hundred Thousand Laws is one of the highest honors bestowed by Colensia, and in some ways it is as valuable as the Templar Order's decorated nobles. However, from a practical point of view, the Bachelor of Ten Thousand Laws is more useful than the Honoured Aristocrats. Holders of the Order of Ten Thousand Laws have free access to the largest library in Colensia and unrestricted access to all knowledge. In addition, the Ten Thousand Law Scholars can also have a piece of their own territory, and at the same time, they can authorize the construction of mage towers in their own territory -- you must know that the powerful defensive structure of the mage tower is not something that everyone can build, especially within the scope of Colensia, if you build a mage tower without the official permission of Colensia, then the only end is to go to the Forbidden Demon Prison to carry out labor reform.
In addition, the Ten Thousand Law Scholars can also purchase those rare materials from the mage associations in various places, and the price is also the lowest. Not only that, but the Bachelor of Laws is also able to receive a large amount of "research funding" from Colencia every year. This money is not too much in the eyes of the mages. But in the eyes of ordinary people, it was enough to maintain the rich life of a middle aristocracy.
Compared with the scholars of ten thousand laws, the treatment of the nobles who were awarded the medal is simply that of the step-mother--although in reality they are indeed so.
Jenn didn't expect that Colencia would put so much effort into winning him over. The Order of the Ten Thousand Masters is awarded only to scholars and mages who have made outstanding contributions to Colensia -- the difficulty of which is basically equivalent to the dynamite prize. You must know that even the Archmage of Pharys was not able to win this award, and he had performed fifteen spell transformations in his lifetime. And lowered their casting difficulty by a level, which is pretty good in the eyes of the mages. But even so, he was not able to get this medal. In Jenn's memory, the last time he was awarded the Order of the Hundred Thousand Laws was fifty years ago, when the alchemist Kader invented a condensed magic potion that cut the time it took for the mage to recover his magic in half, and it was for this reason that he was awarded the Order of the Ten Thousand Masters.
But because of this, Jenn also knew very well that the other party took out this medal not just to win himself over. This temptation is indeed very high, but if Jenn can't give the corresponding reward, then naturally he is not eligible for this Medal of Ten Thousand Laws.
But then again, how can it be so easy? Only those who have had a profound impact on mages are eligible for this medal, which means that Jenn must show strength worthy of Prague's recognition.
And Jenn is well aware of this.
These mages really have a good plan.
Looking at the old mage in front of him, Jenn couldn't help but feel a little amused. Communicating with the Templar was always boring for him, but the battle of wits and courage with the mages was a game that the demons of the lower realms never tired of. Because the magical soul of the mage is the best prey for the demons, and their intelligence is enough to become a worthy opponent for the demons. The sense of accomplishment of luring a pig into a trap is very different from luring a shrewd wolf into a trap.
On the surface, Colencia is very generous. It's also very sincere. But Jenn didn't think so, the other party did this not only to show his sincerity to himself, but also to test the power of the Pachanon family. Of course, they wouldn't think that Jenn didn't understand the value of the medal, even if he was pretending to be stupid. Archmage Prague wouldn't allow him to play stupid to the end. Taking a step back, if Jenn had been deliberately perfunctory, then Colencia would have lost only one medal. And the other way around. If he takes the other party seriously and gives the other party the corresponding feedback, then Colencia will make a lot of money.
"Archmage Prague is a great master."
Jenn withdrew his gaze. He closed the box again, then looked at the archmage and smiled.
"How can I be. To be able to get such a green eye? ”
"Humility is a virtue, my lord, but modesty is not."
Hearing Bragg's words, Jenn shrugged his shoulders, and he stood up.
"I understand what you mean, Archmage Prague, but please give me a moment to think about it."
"Of course there is no problem."
Prague wasn't surprised by Jenn's answer. The other party obviously understands the value of this medal, so it is natural to consider it. If Jenn had offered something in exchange for something without saying a word, it would have surprised Prague. After all, this kind of thing is not something that everyone can do.
"These guys are really good at their calculations."
When Prague left, Jenn sneered and spoke. Hearing Jenn's words, Enoa also immediately stepped forward and asked softly.
"And master, what are you going to do?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, after all, there are so many things that can be exchanged for it......
Answering Enoa's question, Jenn pushed his glasses. This is not that he is alarmist, and perhaps it is almost impossible for mere mortals to meet this standard. But for Jenn, there is no difficulty, the reason is simple, he is a demon. The demons, on the other hand, hold all the secrets of this world. The magic of the mage originally came from the teaching of the demons, and the demons obviously knew very well what it meant for the disciples of the church to starve their masters, after all, in the next two wars of heaven and earth, there were many examples of them being bitten by the spells they created. But because of this, the most secret magic among many demons is not accessible to mortals. And these things are really worth learning from and using.
It can be said that if he hadn't been bound by his own dungeon system and couldn't learn magic, with the knowledge Jenn had learned in the lower realm, he would have already become an archmage in the demon plane no less than Nabelius -- you must know that Nabelius is the product of Jenn's magic concept. In fact, after Jenn first crossed into this world, his first goal was to become a great mage, and he was deeply influenced by games and web novels. In addition, he has cast a demon fetus, and if such a good identity is not used well, it will be a tyrannical thing. So in the initial incident, Jenn was really fascinated by the study of magic, and also achieved certain theoretical results. It wasn't until he found himself trapped in the goddamn dungeon system and unable to learn and use the spells of this world that Jenn had to settle down and take a longsword and start swindling. After all, swordsmanship is a skill, not a skill, and for Jenn, this can still be learned.
And when teaching Nabelius, Jenn also tested his various magic theories again and again, and thus gained a lot of gains - but unfortunately, these gains were of little use to him, because the dungeon system closed his ability to learn all kinds of magic, so Jenn now continues to use his sword to be his sword master except for the few spells in the dungeon system.
Originally, Jenn thought that none of this stuff made any sense, but now it seems ......... It seems to be a little useful.
"What are you going to trade for?" Master, I think you already have an idea. ”
Looking at Jenn's appearance, Enoa knew what the hell her master was up to, and as the first summon that Jenn had summoned, she naturally knew how strong Jenn's theoretical knowledge of magic was. And I also know very well that my master has a lot of quite interesting results in his head. Now it looked like he was clearly trying to get something out of it.
"Of course, I've decided."
Hearing Enoa's inquiry, Jenn chuckled. This was originally part of Jenn's plan, but at that time he was waiting for a while, and when the time was right, he would come up with it. But the Corencian Empire came to the door and gave Jenn a good chance.
"Enoa, you know what? Every emancipation and development of the productive forces is the root cause of this world turmoil......... I hadn't figured out what to do before, but now it looks like this is a chance for me to come to my door......... I already see the precursors of war and gunsmoke. ”
With that, Jenn clapped his hands, and he stood up.
"How's Project Two going on over there at Bix?"
"Project No. 2?"
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Enoa frowned and thought for a moment before answering.
"According to Agatha's report, only two-thirds of the progress of the project is now ........."
"Can it start?"
"Everything is designed and manufactured according to the drawings provided by you, the owner, and there is no problem at all."
"Good."
Hearing this, Jenn nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's surprise those old men in Kolensia." (To be continued......)
