Master Tongtian

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

The small sunny hall on the second floor of Maple Leaf Castle.

The golden sunlight shines into the small hall through the high-quality crystal glass, making the white cashmere blanket on the floor dappled.

Rosen took a sip of tea and said softly: "The Sano family is very restless, and the chaos in Crescent Town is inseparable from them."

Bilgu nodded: "The Sano family is full of talents, and Baron Ilaix is ​​the Duke's most valued weapon refiner. However, the descendants of the Omisia family are incompetent, either reckless or prodigal, so naturally they are easily forgotten."

Real big shots know this kind of private affairs of the upper class very well.

You don't even need to investigate the specific actions of individuals. You can make a pretty good guess just by looking at the flow of interests.

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

Bilgu frowned slightly: "Isn't that the case?"

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

"Afterwards, the extraordinary person told me that the King of Neverwinter was accidentally awakened, and the person who awakened him had extremely powerful magic skills and was most likely a highland mage."

"I also personally dealt with an apostle of Neverwinter. This person is Veronica, the daughter of Baron Felin of Moonlight Town. Baron Felin was once a good friend of Faeron."

"After I defeated Veronica, the Purity Temple wanted to take Veronica away for interrogation, but Feren directly killed Veronica."

"Is all this a coincidence?"

To be honest, Rosen did not have any concrete evidence, but for some things, it was enough to prove that the other party was highly suspicious.

Bilgu frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Everything I say is well documented."

Bilgu believed in Rosen's character. He believed it and frowned.

"This is too much!"

For a high-ranking nobleman like him, instigating civilians in Crescent Town and causing riots was not a big deal, because it did not 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 would be a huge step over the line!

Rosen continued: "Now, Feren is inciting rebellion in Crescent Town in the north. Soon, a large number of refugees will move south."

"I speculate that Faerun will definitely find a way to let the refugees flow into Silver Moon Castle, and then incite riots, triggering a brutal massacre of the refugees by the city defense army!"

Bilegu's eyebrows twitched: "This move is a bit cruel! But Feren can indeed do it."

He has been dealing with Feren for a lifetime and knows the other person's character very well.

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

Seeing that the other party was persuaded by him, Rosen revealed his intention.

"So, I plan to take this opportunity to recommend Chabollet as the candidate for the next earl."

Bielgu showed a trace of doubt on his face: "Is that the prodigal son of Chabolai?"

Rosen smiled slightly: "Old sir, it is precisely because Chabolai is a mediocre prodigal that after he came to power, everyone had a good life."

"Unlike now, everyone is a little breathless under the weight of the count."

Bilgu's eyebrows jumped 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, and it is difficult to convince everyone."

Rosen smiled and said: "Part of Chabollet's bad reputation comes from himself. Part of it comes from Vobos, and part of it comes from the propaganda of the Sano family."

"I am confident that I can tame Chabolai and get him to change his bad habits. Then the remaining two will naturally not be a big problem."

After all, Xia Bolay is a member of the Omicia family. If he behaves properly, others cannot smear him out of thin air.

If someone else said this, Bilugu would naturally not believe it, but Rosen was different.

Because he never speaks nonsense, and he who can speak out must be extremely confident.

So, Bilgu jumped directly 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 an intermediate 8-star divine grace mage, and my wife has been promoted to a high-level 13-star mage. We are both temple sect mages."

"When I become a baron, my wife and I will be able to gather enough energy to help you strengthen the Temple Sect's voice in the mage world of Silver Moon Castle."

"I am a foreigner 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 strong arm."

"At that time, with the support of the powerful Temple Faction, you can compete with Faerun for the position of president of the Mage Guild."

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

Being able to become the president of the Mage Guild not only means huge benefits, but also means huge prestige.

This is the honor that almost every mage in the Highlands dreams of.

Bielgu is no exception.

But he was not carried away 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 talk but hard to do!”

He has been operating it for so many years and spent an unknown amount of money, but the Temple Sect has not grown much.

Rosen chuckled: "What mages value most is the knowledge of magic, and I can provide this."

While talking, he took out a piece of manuscript paper and put it on the table.

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

Bilgu picked up the manuscript and took a look at it, and saw the words 'Multi-dimensional flow and deft spellcasting' written on it.

I opened the catalog and browsed through it quickly, and I was shocked: "Master Rosen, do you really plan to make such valuable spell-casting skills public?"

Even he was very moved when he saw it.

Rosen smiled slightly: "To be precise, it was made public within the Temple Sect, or to be more precise, it was made public at your tea party. It is divided into 40 lessons, each lesson is 1 hour, and one lesson is taught a week."

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

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

Rosen smiled: "So, let's vote for the next president of the Mage Guild. In the first round of popular elections, you will get a higher number of votes than Faerun."

Bilugu was greatly moved and a little worried.

"But there is a second round that is more important, the High Council. It is difficult for me to have an advantage."

Rosen chuckled: "You help push Charbolet, whom the Count regards as his own son, to a high position. Will the Count not support you?"

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

"At that time, there will be 11 people in the High Council. The Earl has three votes, my wife has one vote, Fuller has one vote, and you add one vote yourself. That will be a clear six votes."

"Coupled with the failure of the first round of general election, Feren will have to step down from the president's throne immediately, and you will be the mage leader of the Silver Moon Castle Mage Guild."

There is indeed no problem with this, and it is extremely maneuverable. Bilegu's heart was greatly moved.

He is also a mage from the temple sect and has a very good friendship with him. He did not hide his thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

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

Rosen felt slightly relieved and took a sip of the already cold tea.

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

Bilgu nodded in agreement.

After a moment of silence, he asked: "But I really want to know, why do you pursue the status of baron 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."

"Just wait for more than ten years, and your reputation will spread throughout the Golden Land."

Rosen spread his hands: "No matter how high your reputation is, you can at most become a guest of a big shot, but you cannot become a big shot. And I am actually very short of money."

In his previous life, Lord Niu was so famous that he only earned 100 pounds a year as a professor. Later, he only earned 2,000 pounds a year when he joined the Mint.

During the same period, the average income of barons was more than 10,000 pounds, and the income of dukes and marquises was more than 100,000 pounds.

It's not an order of magnitude at all.

But Bilgu was a little puzzled: "You are short of money? How come?"

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

Rosen pointed to the ceiling.

"Old sir, I also want to be as focused on stargazing as you are and explore the mysteries of the starry sky."

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

Bilegu suddenly nodded with deep sympathy: "Indeed, these things are too expensive. Not only do they require money, but they are also very time-consuming."

Rosen may be able to earn this money, but it will take a lot of time and energy for him to earn this money, and he also needs to maintain many relationships.

Then you won’t be able to focus on research.

Someone else must help him earn the money.

Just like him, he doesn't have to do anything or worry much, but the territory and brothel can provide him with an income of more than one hundred thousand crowns every year.

Therefore, he completely understood Rosen.

"If you want to go this route, you really need a wealthy territory to back it up."

Rosen's words aroused his interest in magic: "You just said that you want to build an alchemy laboratory. Are you planning to follow the path of alchemy?"

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

Bilgu was immediately puzzled: "What is the relationship between alchemy and the starry sky?"

Rosen laughed: "Old sir, how do you observe the starry sky?"

"Surveying mirror."

"Yes, it's a survey mirror, but what does the survey mirror really see?"

Bilegu was startled, and after thinking for a moment, he gave the answer: "It's starlight."

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

"I'm just interested in light."

Bilugu suddenly understood: "Light is something that can be seen but cannot be touched. Isn't it difficult to study it?"

Rosen smiled again: "Old sir, let me ask you a few questions."

"You ask."

Rosen asked: "Why does the sun shine?"

Bilegu was about to drink tea. When he heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought. He even forgot to drink the tea when he brought it to his mouth. For a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I have no idea."

Rosen asked again: "As we all know, the gravity spell can pull matter, but it is ineffective against light. Then I ask, why is it ineffective?"

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

Bilugu was asked again and was speechless.

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

"Then I ask, what is quality?"

Bilugu was greatly aroused and curious, and subconsciously repeated: "Yes, what is mass?"

Although he had not thought deeply about this issue, when Rosen said this, he clearly felt the breath of the basic laws of the world.

Rosen asked another question.

"It is an obvious fact that massless light energy resonates with massive matter, causing it to increase its temperature."

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

Bilugu couldn't listen anymore and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, stop asking, stop asking, you make me feel like an ignorant old country farmer!"

Rosen spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Old sir, I don't have the answers to these questions, so I just want to spend all my energy researching and pursuing them just like you obsessively stargazing."

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

Bielgu was greatly moved!

He stared at Rosen, and Rosen stared 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, but you do it for knowledge."

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

"So, I will fully support you in becoming Baron of Crescent Town."

Rosen stood up and bowed to Bilegu again as a mage.

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

Bilgu also stood up and actually bowed to Rosen as a mage.

"Master Rosen, in terms of magic power and spell-casting skills, you are temporarily inferior to me. But in terms of insight into the laws of the world, I am far inferior to you."

"Young man, go pursue the truth of the world!"
