Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Chapter 255 The irresistible bait

Kui Mo, wearing a wooden lacquer mask and a black gauze burqa, walked on the streets of Redemption Town. The various rune ornaments hanging on his body struck each other, making crisp sounds, and the surrounding residents of Redemption Town were also struck. The sound attracted her and cast unkind and strange looks at her, which made her feel a little bad.

If anyone in Qohor dared to look at her with such a disrespectful look, that person would definitely lie on her altar and become her next sacrifice.

However, now even if someone is so blatantly disrespectful to her, she can't do anything, because the last guy who wanted to deal with these disrespectful people according to Qohor's method has been sent to the black cave, but instead of becoming a researcher, Rather, it becomes the subject of research.

It is precisely because of this reason that she now wonders whether her choice to come to Westeros was a mistake.

In her opinion, as the only Shadowbinder among the mages who followed Linde, she should be given special attention. However, judging from her life in Redemption Town these days, she was obviously treated as an ordinary mage and did not receive any special treatment. Any respect, so she decided to stay for a few more days, and if nothing changed, she would leave and not waste any more time here.

Soon Kui Mo walked out of Redemption Town and walked towards the Quiet Courtyard being built next to the Redemption Temple.

Although judging from his attitude towards mages, Linde, who is regarded as a prophet of magic, does not seem to attach great importance to them, but contradictory to this is that he is very concerned about the construction of the Silent Courtyard, not only setting aside a large area of ​​land for He came to build the Tranquility Courtyard. In order to speed up the construction progress of the Tranquility Courtyard, he even stopped the construction of the Midsummer Hall Castle. All the craftsmen were transferred to the Tranquility Courtyard. The building materials originally used to build the castle were also moved here and used. Spend a lot of money to hire more craftsmen from other places to join.

It is precisely because of this that in just a few days, the foundation of the Quiet Courtyard has been built. The construction of the central hall and the main halls of each department has begun. Judging from the progress, it will only take a year at most. It should be completely completed. Built.

When planning the Serenity Courtyard, Linde divided and classified the entire mage system. This kind of thing had never happened before, just like the holy book of basic magic knowledge that is currently being revised.

Linde directly classified mages into two major categories, black magic and white magic, and divided different factions under the black and white magic system. All factions are regarded as a separate branch of magic inheritance, such as Kuimo's Shadow Binding. The scholar belongs to the Dark Magic Court. Because she is the only one, she naturally becomes the chief instructor of this inheritance branch.

As the chief mentor, all she needs to do is to first support her faction structure, such as finding suitable apprentices and so on.

However, what she needs to do now is to plan the architectural style, layout and internal facilities of the Shadowbinder Academy according to the Shadowbinder philosophy, and this is also a headache for her, because those craftsmen and scholars from the Old Town Academy She has a wooden head. She has expressed so clearly what kind of building she wants, and even sketched it out. However, she made a mistake and had to overturn it and rework it. This made her have to sit in Jing Ming Ting every day. Watch the craftsmen working on the construction site.

When Kui Mo came to the Tranquility Courtyard with emotion, he was suddenly attracted by the movement in the main hall in the center of the Tranquility Courtyard, because there were many people gathered there at the moment, some of whom were mentors of the magic branch faction like her.

"What happened?" Kui Mo grabbed a dark sorcerer's apprentice who was passing by and asked.

"Lord Kui Mo!" The apprentice was suddenly pulled up and staggered. He was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person holding him was Kui Mo, a look of panic immediately appeared on his face, and he turned to Kui Mo with great respect. He saluted and said: "Your Majesty the Prophet, in order to complete the expansion of books in the library, he has come up with a reward. As long as the instructors of each faction can take out the secret techniques of their own faction and put them in the library, they will be rewarded. ”

"What reward?" Kuimo asked again.

"A dragon crystal necklace with rune power." The apprentice said, pointing to the stone giant in charge of order outside the hall, and said: "It's just like the rune inlaid on their armor, except this This necklace does not create the power of freezing, but can make the wearer calm down. Lord Ragaz, Lord Bronn and Lord Marohin have all tried it, and the effect is very good. It can bring about the effects of meditation and prayer. Increased exponentially.”

Upon hearing this, Kui Mo immediately let go of his apprentice's arm and walked towards the gathering crowd.

When she came outside the crowd, she unceremoniously pushed away the people in front of her. Those who were pushed away by him were very angry at first, but when they saw clearly the person who pushed her away, Kui Mo, Everyone fled in panic, and slapped the place where Kui Mo had touched with their hands, as if the place touched contained some kind of vicious curse.

No wonder they were so frightened. After all, if Kui Mo was not the most powerful one in the Qohor Mage Association, she was definitely the most notorious one. Anyone who opposed her died miserably without exception. It's the kind of death that involves many days of pain and no hope of death.

Soon Kui Mo came to the center of the crowd and saw a necklace placed on a stone platform. Ragzi and others gathered around it. It seemed that all the mentor-level mages except himself were already there.

Kui Mo didn't care that no one informed her about this. She was more concerned about the necklace. Through the power of the wooden lacquer mask, she could clearly feel the powerful magic power contained in the necklace.

"Can you give it a try?" Kuimo stepped forward and asked Ragz.

"Of course." Ragz nodded.

Kui Mo was not polite and directly took the necklace and put it on her neck. The moment she put on the necklace, she immediately felt that her mood had become calmer than ever before, and her mind became very clear. This feeling was her Never experienced before.

After trying it, Kui Mo took off the necklace, put it back on the stone platform, and asked Ragz directly: "How many secret skills do I need to use to get such a necklace?"

Like Kui Mo, after experiencing the magic of the necklace, they all expressed their willingness to submit the secret knowledge of their respective magic schools to the Serenity Library for collection, even if Linde's conditions were all.

Under the heavy reward, the library of Tranquility Court expanded all kinds of magic books at an extremely fast speed. This also caused a big problem, that is, there was a big gap in the parchment needed for the books, and the number of scribes was also insufficient. .

Because the Tranquility Courtyard was the product of Linde's whim, he had no planning or preparation at all in advance. All the parchments used in the Tranquility Courtyard library were intended for the Sphinx Academy to revise apprentice textbooks and books.

In addition, copying these secret knowledge involving various magic schools is completely different from copying ordinary books. Only people with a physique that is not easily affected by magic power are qualified to copy this magic knowledge. Otherwise, if ordinary people copy it, it will take a day or two. Will be killed by the occult knowledge that contains various curses and unknown powers.

After understanding the situation, Linde had to come up with papermaking and printing technology in advance.

In fact, Linde had considered using papermaking and printing techniques to increase his strength a long time ago, but considering the possible negative reactions from the city, he chose to put away these two killer weapons for the time being.

But the situation is different now. With Linde's current overall strength, he no longer needs to worry about the negative reaction of the school city. It's just that he has forgotten these two great weapons because they have been sealed for too long. When there was a problem with the building, he remembered it and took it out for use.

"This is a very mature technology!" After calling Moroya from the black cave, Linde handed the parchment recording printing and papermaking methods to Moroya. She glanced at it casually, and then He got a clue and confirmed to Linde: "Sir, you have already mastered these two techniques, but you have never used them because of the academy, right?"

Linde nodded.

"Why are you taking it out now?" Moroya asked again.

Linde told Moroya about the situation in the library.

After hearing this, Moroya shook his head and said: "If you listen to my suggestion, I will tell you to continue to seal these two technologies, and wait until you control the Seven Kingdoms like you control the Summer Hall. , or it would be more appropriate for you to take it out when you only master half of the Seven Kingdoms."

"With my current strength, do I still need to be afraid of the threat from the academic city?" Linde frowned and said: "I built the Sphinx Academy in Miracle Port, and the academic city's reaction was not too drastic... …”

"The Sphinx Academy is completely different from this." Mo Luoya said in a deep voice: "I have read the teaching content of the Sphinx Academy. What he trains are the low-level officials we need. No matter how much he trains, he will not be able to do it." It won't have much impact on the city. For example, if there are two people to choose from, one is a bachelor of the city who wears a gold necklace, and the other is a financial talent trained by the Sphinx Academy, let you choose from them. Who would you choose to serve as local treasurer?"

Linde did not give an answer, but just smiled, because the answer was obvious. There was no doubt that the bachelors in the city had too many advantages.

"So the threat from the Sphinx Academy to the school city is very small. Although the school city is disgusted with it, it doesn't say much because of your power." Moroya said solemnly: "But now you take The two technologies that came out are different. They are digging into the foundation of the academy. Once these two technologies spread, it will be a devastating blow to the system that has been maintained by the academy for thousands of years. The academy will definitely not If it is allowed to develop, it will definitely stop this thing like crazy.”

Linde's face also became serious and he asked: "What can they do to stop them? Instigate the seven kingdoms to join forces to attack me?"

"They don't need to use the power of the Seven Kingdoms." Moroya shook his head and said: "I know there are many secrets hidden in the school city, and there are also many dangerous taboo powers hidden. Maybe these things can't hurt you, but I can For sure, the people around you will never be able to resist it.”

After hearing what Moroya said, Lind was silent for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something and smiled: "I'm so confused! I just want to use papermaking and printing. I don't have to spread them myself!"

Mo Luoya looked at Linde and said: "As long as you take things out, you should not be able to control whether they spread or not. I have just seen these two technologies. The principles are very simple. People with a little experience can use them." To put it bluntly, how can you ensure that the people involved in this matter will not spread the word? Should you let them all undergo a loyalty trial? "

Linde smiled and said: "You misunderstood. What I said was not to ban the spread of these two technologies, but to hand over these two technologies to others for spread. When these two technologies have spread, I will not If you use them, you won't be able to trouble me if you come to the school!"

Mo Luoya was stunned when she heard this. She knew very well how valuable printing and papermaking were, so she instinctively believed that Lind wanted to grab these two technologies in his hands and obtain maximum benefits before they were leaked. , so I didn’t expect that Linde didn’t care at all about the benefits brought by these two technologies.

After coming back to his senses, Moroya asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

Lind thought for a while and said, "What do you think about each city in Westeros and Essos distributing a dozen technical documents?"

"I have a moment of silence for the city." Mo Luoya said nothing more and turned around to leave. But when he reached the door, he came back and said, "Give me a reading authorization form for the Tranquility Library. I will I want to go there and see what books I haven’t read.”

Linde did not refuse and quickly issued an authorization letter. Before Moroya left, he also asked: "Don't agree to take people into the Black Cave casually, and don't say anything about the Black Cave."

"I know." Moroya responded without turning his head.

After Moroya left, Linde immediately called in the intelligence chief Balin and the blood-armored leader Rosso Bren, and handed over the matter of spreading printing and papermaking to the two men, and repeatedly emphasized that these two things could not be leaked. This technology originated from Shengxia Hall.

When the two were about to leave, Balin suddenly stopped, turned to Lind and asked: "Sir, what should we do with the members of the Soyd family who have been under house arrest?"

It has been more than a month since the Soyd family was escorted to Redemption Town. All the slaves, servants, employees, etc. of the Soyd family who have no direct or indirect blood or kinship relationship with the Soyd family have been arranged by Linde. From all over the Summer Hall, some went to Red Guard City to farm, some to Ridge City to build roads, some were assigned to be servants in the Miracle Port military camp as laundry and cooks, and some passed the test and became various officials or officials of the Summer Hall. Servants of the administrative department, and some joined the Chosen Legion.

Only the members of the Soyid family were not dealt with. Instead, they were put under house arrest in a prison on the outskirts of Redemption Town. They were monitored by Bahrain's intelligence department. While under supervision, they continued to ask a large number of relevant questions from these people. Information about various city-states and kingdoms on the continent of Essos, as well as the secrets of the Soyd family.

"Has their interrogation been completed?" Linde asked.

"It's done," Balin replied.

Lind was silent for a moment and said, "Bring Kos Soyd!"
