Celestial Mage

Chapter 202 Young people, go find the truth of the world (24)

The Sunshine Hall on the second floor of Maple Leaf Castle.

The golden sunlight shines into the small hall through the high-quality crystal glass, reflecting the pure white cashmere blanket on the ground mottled.

Rosen took a sip of his tea and said softly, "The Sano family is very restless. The chaos in Crescent Town has nothing to do with them."

Bileg nodded: "The Sano family has a large number of talents, and Baron Electrolux is the Duke's most important master craftsman, while the descendants of the Omisia family are useless. They are either reckless or prodigal sons. Naturally, they are easy to be missed."

This kind of private affairs in the upper class, the real big shots, are very clear in their hearts.

You don't even need to investigate the specific actions of individuals, just look at the flow of benefits, and you can make a good guess.

Rosen continued: "If Faerun is a temple mage, then I have nothing to say, and I won't intervene, but that guy is selfish and can sacrifice the interests of the entire highland at will for the interests of his own family."

Bi Legu frowned slightly: "Isn't that the case?"

Rosen smiled slightly, and said softly: "I once cooperated with an extraordinary creature to fight against the evil god of the ancient tribe, the King of Neverwinter."

"Afterwards, the extraordinary man told me that the King of Neverwinter was awakened by accident, and the person who awakened him has extremely powerful skills, and there is a high probability that he is a highland mage."

"I also personally dealt with a Neverwinter apostle. This person is Veronica, the daughter of Baron Ferrin in Moonlight Town. Baron Ferrin was once a friend of Ferren."

"After I defeated Veronica, the Temple of the Pure World once wanted to take Veronica away for interrogation, but Fei Lun directly killed Veronica."

"Is all this a coincidence?"

To be honest, Rosen didn't have any real evidence, but for some things, it was enough to prove that the other party was a huge suspect.

Bilegu frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Everything I say is well documented."

Bilegu believed in Rosen's character, he believed it, and frowned.

"This is too much!"

For a high-level noble like him, it was not a big deal to provoke the common people of Crescent Town and cause riots, because it didn't have a big impact on him.

But awakening the evil god would threaten the entire highland, and put him and his family in unpredictable danger. This is a big crossing the line!

Rosen continued: "Now, Faerun is instigating a rebellion in Crescent Town in the north. Soon, a large number of refugees will go south."

"I speculate that Faerun will definitely find a way to let refugees flood into Silvermoon Castle, and then instigate riots, triggering a tragic massacre of refugees by the city defense army!"

Bi Legu's brows twitched: "This trick is a bit ruthless! But Fei Lun can do it."

He has dealt with Fei Lun all his life, and he knows each other's character very well.

Selfish, ruthless and cold-blooded, but very good at disguising, he has seduced a large number of scholar-type mages who focus on academics but have no interest in the world.

Seeing that the other party was moved by him, Rosen expressed his intention.

"Therefore, I intend to take this opportunity to recommend Xia Bolai as the next earl candidate."

Bi Legu showed a trace of doubt: "Is that prodigal Xia Bolai?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Old man, it is precisely because Xia Bolai is a mediocre prodigal son, after he came to power, everyone will have a good life."

"It's not like now, everyone is a little out of breath under the pressure of the Earl."

Bi Legu's eyebrows twitched again, and he nodded in agreement with Rosen's words.

"But this matter is not easy. After all, Xia Bolai's reputation is too bad, so it is difficult to convince everyone."

Rosen said with a smile: "Part of Xia Bolai's bad reputation comes from himself. Part of it comes from Fubosi, and part of it comes from the propaganda of the Sano family."

"I have the confidence to tame Xia Bolai and let him get rid of his bad habits. Then the remaining two are naturally not a big problem."

After all, Xiapolei is a member of the Omisia family. If he behaves properly, others will not be able to discredit him out of thin air.

And if someone else said that, Bileg would naturally not believe it, but Rosen was different.

Because he never speaks nonsense, and those who can speak out must have great confidence.

So, Bilegu skipped straight to the next question: "So, what do you want?"

"I want to be the Baron of Crescent Town."

"Hmm~ This goal is quite appropriate. So what can I get?"

Rosen had already thought about it.

"I am now a middle-level 8-star divine grace mage, and my wife has been promoted to a high-level 13-star mage. We are both temple mages."

"After I become a baron, my wife and I will be able to gather enough energy to help you strengthen the Temple faction's voice in the wizarding world of Silvermoon Castle."

"I am an outsider from the highlands. If I want to secure my position as a baron, I need not only the earl's support, but also your support."

"So, I will always stand behind you and be your firm arm."

"At that time, with the support of the powerful Temple faction, you will be able to compete with Faerun for the position of president of the mage guild."

As soon as these words came out, Bilegu was greatly moved.

Being the president of the mage guild not only means huge benefits, but also means huge prestige.

This is the glory that almost every mage in the highlands dreams of.

Billy is no exception.

But he was not dazzled by Rosen's promise, he took a long breath and tried to wake up.

"It's a good idea to strengthen the temple faction, but it's easy to say, but hard to do!"

He has been in business for so many years, and he has spent an unknown amount of money, and the temple faction has not grown much.

Rosen chuckled: "The most important thing for mages is the knowledge of spells, and I can provide these."

While speaking, he took out a manuscript and put it on the table.

"If you fully support me, then I will make this knowledge public."

Bi Legu picked up the manuscript paper and glanced at it, and saw the words 'Multi-dimensional flow and dexterous spellcasting' written on it.

Opened the directory and looked through it quickly, and my heart was shocked: "Master Rosen, such a precious spellcasting skill, are you really planning to make it public?"

Even he was very moved when he saw it.

Rosen smiled slightly: "To be precise, it will be made public within the Temple Sect, or more precisely, it will be made public at your tea party. There will be 40 lessons, each one hour long, and one lesson a week."

"Do you think, after I finish this course, will there be more temple mages than before?"

Bileg nodded: "There will be a lot more. With powerful original knowledge, and my money and resource assistance, it can easily overwhelm the scholars."

Rosen smiled: "In this way, the election of the next president of the Mage Guild will be voted on. In the first round of general elections, your number of votes will be higher than Faerun's."

Bilegu was greatly moved, but also a little worried.

"But there is a second round of the more important high-level council. It is difficult for me to gain an advantage."

Rosen smiled lightly: "Will the Earl not support you if you help Xia Bolai, whom the Earl regards as his own son, to a high position?"

"My wife is also a high-level mage, and if I become a baron, then as a baroness, I am naturally eligible to vote in the high-level council."

"At that time, there will be 11 people in the high-level council. The earl will have three votes, my wife will have one vote, Fuller will have one vote, and you will add one more vote. That will be a definite six votes."

"Combined with the failure of the first round of general elections, Faerun will immediately have to roll down from the chairman's throne, and you will be the mage leader of the Silvermoon Castle Mage Guild."

These words are indeed no problem, and the operability is extremely high, Bi Legu's heart was greatly moved.

He is also a mage of the temple sect, and he usually has a very good friendship, so he can't hide his thoughts and can't help smiling.

"Master Rosen, I have to say, you have a sharp tongue, and I was completely convinced by you."

Rosen felt a little relieved, and took a sip of the cold tea.

"It's not that I convinced you, but that you helped me, and I repay your help."

Billy nodded in agreement.

After being silent for a while, he asked, "But I really want to know, why do you pursue the baron status so much?"

After a pause, he added: "After all, you should not be short of money or status now. Everyone respects you, and everyone is learning your flow and gravity spells."

"You can wait at ease for more than ten years, and your reputation will spread throughout the Golden Land."

Rosen spread his hands: "No matter how famous you are, you can at most be the guest of the big man, but you can't be the big man himself, and I'm actually very short of money."

In his previous life, Master Niu was so famous that he earned only 100 pounds a year as a professor, and later entered the mint with only 2000 pounds a year.

During the same period, barons generally earned more than [-] pounds, and dukes and marquises more than [-] pounds.

It's not an order of magnitude at all.

But Bilegu was a little puzzled: "Are you short of money? How come?"

As far as he knew, Rosen's gallery was quite profitable.

Rosen pointed to the ceiling.

"Old man, I also want to watch the stars without distraction like you, and explore the mysteries of the starry sky."

"I also want to build an alchemy laboratory to explore the mysteries of matter, and all of these require a lot of money, don't they?"

Bilegu immediately nodded in sympathy: "Indeed, these things are really expensive. Not only do they need money, but they also take a lot of time."

Rosen might be able to make the money, but it would take a lot of time, energy, and relationships to make it.

Then you can't concentrate on doing research.

He had to get someone else to help him make the money.

Just like him, he doesn't have to do anything and doesn't worry too much, but the territory and brothel can provide him with an income of more than [-] kroner every year.

Therefore, he completely understood Rosen.

"If you want to take this path, then you really need a rich territory to support you."

And Rosen's words aroused his interest in spells: "You said just now that you want to build an alchemy laboratory, are you planning to take the road of alchemy?"

Rosen shook his head slightly: "To be precise, I want to explore the mysteries of the starry sky more deeply through alchemy."

Bi Legu was puzzled immediately: "Alchemy and the starry sky are related?"

Rosen just laughed: "Old man, what do you use to observe the starry sky?"

"Skyscope."

"Yes, it's the Skyscope, but what does the Skyscope really see?"

Bi Legu was startled, and after thinking for a while, he gave the answer: "It's starlight."

Rosen nodded: "Yes, it's starlight. Or rather, it's light."

"I'm just interested in light."

Bilegu immediately understood: "Just this thing, you can see it, but you can't touch it, so it's not easy to study it?"

Rosen laughed again: "Mister, let me ask you a few questions."

"You ask."

Rosen asked, "Why does the sun shine?"

Bilegu was about to drink tea, but when he heard this, he fell into deep thought, and forgot to drink the tea when it was brought to his mouth. After a while, he shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I do not know."

Rosen asked again: "As we all know, gravitational magic can pull matter, but it is ineffective for light. Then I ask, why is it ineffective?"

In fact, it works, but if you want to observe the gravitational phenomenon that distorts enough light, you need to have a power comparable to that of the sun, and this obviously greatly exceeds the limit of the power of living beings.

Bilegu was left speechless by the question again.

Rosen added: "I discovered that things that can be pulled by gravity must have mass, and that light cannot be pulled by gravity, which means that light has no quality."

"Then I ask, what is quality?"

Bilegu was greatly aroused to be curious, and subconsciously repeated: "Yes, what is the quality?"

Although he didn't think deeply about this question, when Rosen said this, he clearly felt the breath of the basic laws of the world.

Rosen threw another question.

"It is an obvious fact that massless light energy resonates with mass matter, raising its temperature."

"Then I ask again, why can light and matter resonate?"

Bi Legu couldn't take it anymore and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, don't ask, don't ask, you make me feel like an ignorant country farmer!"

Rosen spread his hands, but also looked helpless.

"Old man, I don't have the answers to these questions, so I want to spend all my energy on research and pursuit like you are obsessed with stargazing."

"Even if I spend my life doing it, I have no regrets."

Bilegu was greatly moved!
He stared at Rosen, and Rosen looked back without blinking.

After a long time, the old mage let out a long sigh.

"Everyone wants to be a Baron, but others do it for money, you do it for knowledge."

"I also believe that if you can focus on it, you will gain something. And I am very eager for answers to these questions."

"So, I will fully support you to become the Baron of Crescent Town."

Rosen stood up, and once again bowed to Bilegu as a lower-level mage.

"Thank you very much for your understanding and support, old man! I will never forget your kindness."

Bi Legu also stood up, and even bowed to Luo Sen as a low-ranking mage.

"Master Rosen, in terms of mana realm and spellcasting skills, you are temporarily inferior to me. But in terms of insight into the laws of the world, I am far inferior to you."

"Youth, go and pursue the truth of the world!"
