Chapter 716: Persuasion
"Ahem......"
Ruerno covered his mouth and coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the two legends on the side.
"Chief ......"
Donald Müller, who was following closely behind, walked forward quickly and handed the thermos cup in his hand to Ruerno with concern, but Ruerno waved his hand, and after taking a few deep breaths, his face returned to normal.
Listening to the casual chuckles, some of the fat mages clenched the cups with both hands, placed the thermos cups in front of them, and did not put them away again.
The chief court mage looked up, looking at the 'big furnace' in front of him, and suddenly felt that his eyes were a little blurry, so he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and at the same time asked the two mages standing side by side with him, "Charlemagne, Elba, is this the 'prototype'?"
"Yes, Chief Rulno. ”
Elba, the third seat of the Court Mage Association, replied flatly: "This is the 'prototype'!"
Elba didn't show much excitement, because it was just the beginning for him, and the fact that he had built the 'prototype' with Charlemagne didn't give him much pride.
Ruerno craned his neck, looking at the tall 'furnace' in front of him, and his eyes revealed a hint of expectation.
The 'Magic Furnace' was created by the Arcane Empire, and while they only made it again on a small basis, if there was a first, there would soon be a second.
As long as there is a breakthrough from zero to one, then it will be much easier after that, but unfortunately, he can't see it......
"That magic circle is really easy to use, if it weren't for that magic circle that allows us to reconcile in the middle, it is difficult to calculate the time it would take to build such a prototype, because even if we understand the principle of the operation of the magic furnace, we don't know what magic circles and runes need to be used to convert the inert magic that is free in the atmosphere into active magic that we can use. ”
Speaking of this, the second seat Charlemagne sighed: "That head maid is indeed very powerful—just like Mr. Muller said, he didn't find any signs of the existence of this magic circle in that magic furnace in Wende City, so I'm afraid this magic circle was really invented by the head maid." ”
There was one more sentence he hadn't said, but everyone knew it.
The head maid had indeed confessed to the public that she had 'otherworldly knowledge', but the style of that circle was very different from the otherworldly knowledge she had taken out, and naturally no one would think that the circle was also part of otherworldly knowledge.
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a long time, and then Ruerno Luches shook his head and sighed softly, breaking the silence, "This prototype is already capable of transforming magic power?"
"It's possible to do a small number of conversions, but it's not a major breakthrough. ”
Elba, who was outspoken, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Even ordinary mages can do this, what this prototype can do is only to enlarge this ratio a little, and the escape of mana is also a big problem, until now we don't know how to restrain the active mana, if the magic energy furnace is set up with a 'constrained' circle and runes, it will affect the operation of the prototype." And 'cooling' is also a big problem, how can we keep the prototype running without causing the internal magic circle and runes to collapse due to the long running time? We don't know this very well, and we don't have any idea yet!"
“...... Take your time!" Ruerno said slowly, "There's still a long way to go......
Charlemagne frowned, and looked at the chief, who was a lot more rickety, and he felt that the sentence just now seemed to mean something.
"Ahem......" Ruerno couldn't help but cough twice.
Then, he waved his hand at the court mages behind him, "Let's all disperse, I still have something to say to the second and third seats, and don't you all have experiments to do?"
Hearing this, the court mages gathered behind the three legends looked at each other and slowly dispersed, and even Donald walked to the side with a worried look.
Looking left and right, the corners of the old man's mouth curled slightly, and he sent an invitation to his two colleagues: "Let's talk?"
Charlemagne and Elba looked at each other and bowed slightly.
After that, the old chief wandered around the guild's mage tower with two sub-chairs and three chairs who were not much younger than himself, leaving the two legendary mages a little confused.
Along the way, the gray-haired old man had a kind smile on his face, and his face was wrinkled, and even the old age spots on his face seemed to be blooming.
Walking slowly from the first floor of the Mage Tower to the top floor on crutches that he would never use before, he couldn't help but talk about some of the troubles they had made in the past, and he couldn't help but recall the past.
His performance was so obvious that Charlemagne and Elba had a hard time not seeing it.
The small talk along the way made the two legends feel a little heavy, looking at the rickety back of the old man in front of them, watching him slowly climb upwards, listening to his slightly heavy and disordered gasps, and listening to the echo of the crutches falling heavily on the ground......
Finally, they reached the top of the Mage's Tower.
There were only three rooms, each belonging to the first three seats of the court mages, and their laboratories were on the lower level, and this was nothing more than an office that was often idle.
Raising his rough palm, Rourno stroked the door in front of him, which was the door to his office, which had been with him for more than two hundred years.
“...... I'm dying!"
A hoarse voice poured out of his dry throat, and Ruerno Luches didn't want to say it, but the blood in his heart pushed it out of his throat.
The eyes of the two legends standing behind him flickered a few times, they didn't feel particularly surprised, they had already guessed in their hearts before, and now they just got a confirmation.
This is not unexpected......
"So?" Eventually, it was Elba who broke the peace.
He looked at the back of the 'chief' and asked indifferently: "You have said so much along the way, is it just for this foreshadowing?
Ruerno chuckled twice, as expected, in contrast, Charlemagne was too calm, and Elba, although indifferent, was a person who dared to speak if he had something to say.
"I did think so, because I was dying, and I wanted to do something for the country before I died......" Rourno said slowly.
Because he is dying, many things that he couldn't do before can now be done, he has no children and no grandchildren, and he doesn't need to worry about anything.
"I hope you can help me ......," the Chief smiled.
The second seat's eyes flickered, and the third seat opened his mouth and asked, "What can I help you?"
"Help me overthrow the 'nobles'!" the old man was still smiling, but because of his words, in the eyes of the two legends, his smile was extremely hideous.
The corners of Elba's mouth hooked, and he sneered, "Let's overthrow ourselves?
Unlike Rulno, the second and third seats have their own families, and they are all nobles.
"But aren't you bored?" asked Rulno, turning a deaf ear.
The sneer on Elba's face faded away, and Charlemagne took a breath, "And then, why should we help you?"
Ruerno didn't answer directly, shook his head, and said slowly: "We strive to study magic and pursue the truth, and the nobles enjoy the convenience of magic, but prevent the spread of knowledge. As you know, the Church of Knowledge has opened up its 'knowledge' so that anyone can learn the written word, but the nobles are preventing all this, so that the spread of knowledge in the Church of Knowledge cannot be carried out well within the Empire......"
"You are not those 'barbarians' who pay attention to 'blood', so you should understand that what we mages need is 'knowledge' and 'brains', so what the current aristocracy is doing is obviously killing many good seedlings that we have not discovered. ”
"What I want to eliminate is not the 'class', but the 'aristocracy', a bunch of ancient moths. Think about it, and then reply to me after you have thought about it. ”
With that, the old man turned and pushed open the door to his office and walked in, leaving the two thoughtful legendary mages where they were.
Of course, they are not so easily moved, but they associate things on another level......
That's what really makes them feel excited!
