Chapter 484: Trust Issues (7/110)

"The scholar misunderstood, I don't mean to question you, it's just that many of the things you have recorded above are all things that we have never heard of, and it is inevitable to question in our hearts, isn't the Eternal Night Commander a new army leader that has just been established for more than ten years? Or has it been isolated from the Byron Alliance? How did they develop such a series of things in such a short period of time?" asked the Elder of the Gard Council rhetorically.

"That's right, that's exactly what I want to ask, things like papermaking and printing, they can also be lucky, they can come up by mistake, like this series of wisdom and experience that takes countless years to sum up, how did they come to be? The big library I manage is known as the most complete in the world. The Aubrey Council Fellow nodded approvingly.

When I said the last sentence, there was a slow pride in it.

In other words, half a year ago, Antoine's parliamentary scholars had the same mentality as them.

But now, he felt a strong smell of ridicule in it, which was typical of arrogant behavior.

As if knowledge is not stored in the Great Library of the Dome of the Firmament, it is not real.

Who gave them this confidence?

If they didn't have the Eternal Night Leader, how long would they have to be immersed in this mysterious confidence?

One thing Speaker Abner is right is that the Warlock Alliance has been closed off on the Flower Language Plateau for too long.

If this continues, sooner or later they will be disconnected from the whole world.

It's time to get out there and see this whole new world.

The academics of the Council of Antoine had some misgivings about convening the Supreme Council of Warlocks among the Eternal Night Commanders.

I have seen the reaction of several other council scholars, and it is completely gone.

If they don't want to be left behind by the Eternal Night Army, they must get out.

Adjusting his mentality, Antoine Council University Scholar said: "Holding the highest meeting of the alliance in the Eternal Night Military Leader, not only the opinion of the General Council, I also agree with this, we have been isolated from the world for too long, it is necessary to go out and take a look, because the Eternal Night Military Leader has too many things beyond imagination, only by seeing it with your own eyes can you believe that everything is true, and you can make the most correct decision, what is the opinion of several scholars?"

"The Speaker General and Sergeant Antoine have changed their attitudes so much after walking through the Eternal Night Commandery, they must have seen a lot of things that touched their hearts, and it also shows that the Eternal Night Commander does have its own extraordinary features, which are worth our own visit. The Barrow Council Scholar said thoughtfully.

"Have the Speaker and the Fellows considered what it means for us to do this?" asked the Fellow of the Council of Gusta, who, like Antoine, was also in charge of the Alliance's external affairs, and considered the problem more realistically.

"Considered!" Antoine nodded, "This means that the alliance will be tied to the Eternal Night Warlord to a certain extent, and it is easy to win and lose both, but this choice is based on the development prospects of the Eternal Night Warlord, and conversely, it can be considered that the closer you are tied to them, the faster the alliance will develop." ”

"The scholar is so optimistic about the Eternal Night Leader?" said the Gusta Council Scholar.

"It's not that I'm optimistic, it's true. Antoine's council scholar felt a little parched in his mouth, and it was much more difficult to convince the old fellows than he had imagined.

This involves not only the incredible speed of development and the development model of the Eternal Night Commander, but also the transformation of an old mode of thinking.

It is still very difficult for him to change even after witnessing everything that the Eternal Night Army leads, not to mention these council scholars, who are now only relying on their own dictation and records.

Their first reaction is the authenticity of everything they have recorded.

Ask yourself, if it weren't for his own personal experience, when others described the situation of the Eternal Night Commander to him, he also felt that what the other party said was a fantasy.

They are skeptical of everything about the Eternal Night Commander, and naturally they are reluctant to mobilize their troops to the Eternal Night Commander.

But how can you believe that everything is true until the Eternal Night Commander takes a look?

It's a literal cycle of dead buckles.

In desperation, the Council Scholar Antoine could only suspend this issue, and handed the wooden box that Sean handed to him before returning, and handed it to the Council Scholar of Aubrey: "This is the process flow book of papermaking and printing, which records in detail the craftsmanship of these two new technologies, which was donated to the Great Library by the young lord of the Eternal Night Army Lord. ”

"Oh?" said the Aubrey Council Scholar who took it with great interest, wanting to open it on the spot.

The Antoine Council scholar hurriedly stopped: "Wait, when the other party made a donation, he made a request. ”

Aubrey sneered and said, "I know that there is no such thing as gratuity in this world, what is the other party's request?" ”

"I think this request made by the other party is within the reasonable range. Antoine replied, "The other party begs us to give them ten years, and they will not read it for ten years, and after ten years, they will have no opinion, whether it is for their own use or for the publication of the world." ”

"So, the Scholar hasn't seen it?" asked the Aubrey Council Scholar.

"That's right. "Antoine's Fellow Scholar is a man of his word, and he didn't touch a single piece of the wooden box along the way.

"How do you know that it contains a book of printing and papermaking without seeing it with your own eyes?" and when we open it ten years later, we find it empty or a pile of blank paper?" Aubrey's rhetorical question left Antoine speechless for a moment.

Sean's calm and confident image flashed in the minds of the Antoine Council scholars, and finally shook his head and said: "Impossible, the other party doesn't need to do this, and there is no need to do this at all, papermaking and printing are nothing to them." ”

The Aubrey Council scholar sneered and said: "This kind of person is playing a sincere person like a scholar, and the other party proposes such a ten-year contract, there will definitely be calculations in it, if you don't believe it, let's gamble." ”

"How to bet?" replied this time not Antoine, but a member of the Council of Gusta.

"I'm betting that it's not papermaking or printing at all, and if I lose, I'm in favor of going to the Eternal Night to convene a Supreme Council of the Alliance, and if I win, the matter will be closed. Aubrey Council Fellow replied.

"This matter can involve the future of the entire alliance, how can it be such a child's play?" said the Gal Council Scholar shook his head repeatedly, "Yes, bet, but this matter cannot be linked to the convening of the Supreme Council there." ”

"This bet is a bit big, and we still have to think about the matter of the Supreme Council. The Barrow Council Fellows followed.

"How can we consider it in the long run? Our Speaker General is still in the territory of other people and has not returned, didn't he make it clear that he asked us to express his position? What is the difference between it and having already made a decision? I think I have put the decision of the Supreme Council on a gamble, which is enough respect, let us see how much sincerity the young lord who is favored by both the Speaker General and the Antoine University Scholar. There was a hint of displeasure in the words of the Aubrey Council Scholar.

This dissatisfaction was directed against Speaker Abner.

The Warlock Alliance has always respected the collective wisdom of the Seven-member Council, which decides matters together.

Although the Speaker has some precedent decision-making power, it is also relatively limited.

Speaker Abner himself is not a man who likes to hold power.

But this time, he was undoubtedly arbitrary.

It is said that they are free to choose, but if you think about it, do they really have the right to choose?

Could it be that they just left their Speaker General out and didn't want it?

This will only make outsiders see their own jokes.

However, a trip to the Eternal Night Commander made Speaker Abner and Antoine the Parliamentarian Scholar brainwash by life, and all they brought back were the praises of the other party.

These words of praise are really a little too outrageous, not only dare not imagine, but also have a smell of absurdity, so that they can't believe it if they want to.

But they couldn't veto it completely, because they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Come to think of it, you can only attack your own shield with your own spear.

Since the young lord of the Eternal Night Lord, as you speak, is a perfect person, use the sincerity he sent to the Warlock Alliance as a test.

If even this is a lie, how can such a person believe it?

Several council scholars have at least more than 20 years of experience in public service, and they can be said to know each other very well.

Although the Aubrey Council Scholar did not say it explicitly, everyone present heard the voice.

The Gusta Council scholar laughed and said: "If we continue to argue like this, not only will we not be able to solve anything, but it will hurt our own peace, and it will be worth the loss for the sake of an outsider, let's use this method to verify that the character of the lord of the Eternal Night Army is not bad, even if only half of what the scholar Antoine said is true, the incomparably precious papermaking and printing technology in our eyes are not a great thing in the hands of that young lord."

If this is the case, the other party is still stingy with a new technology, we need to weigh it carefully.

Either the other party does not attach as much importance to our alliance as Antoine University said, and does not really want to cooperate.

Either the other side told a big lie and deceived the Speaker General and Antoine Academician.

Whatever the reason, we must be careful whether we choose to cooperate with them in the future.

If the other party can really send papermaking and printing technology for free, it is also worth it for us to collectively go to the Eternal Night Military Leader to walk around, after all, we are only going to their military leaders to hold a supreme meeting, and we have not decided to start a full cooperation with them.

Even if we hold a supreme meeting among their military leaders and don't agree to cooperate with them, they can still get it and put it on our necks and kidnap us?

Aren't you curious about the scene where the academy city studied with tens of thousands of students who were comparable to the aestheticians? ”

"Okay, let's be willful once today, and I'll follow this gamble. The Gard Council Scholar laughed and said, what really poked his itch was the last sentence of the Aubrey Council Scholar, if there really was such a college city in this world, whether it was true or not, he would have to go and see it, so for him, there was nothing to worry about in this matter.

"I agree. The last member of the council who was present also said in his voice.

As for Quent, the last member of the Council of Seven of the Warlock Alliance, he was not at the top of the firmament, so he did not attend this meeting.

Of the five Parliamentary Scholars, four reached a unanimous opinion, and their eyes fell on Antoine's Parliamentarian Scholars.

"What do you see me doing?" Antoine said with a smile, "I didn't expect this matter to go around in circles, and it actually returned to the original point, the chief speaker and I went for these two technologies, and now the future direction of our entire alliance is actually handed over to these two technologies, this matter, I can do everything, just look at how sincere the young lord is, if it is in this kind of trivial matter, the other party is playing tricks with us, this kind of cooperation object, it is indeed worth serious consideration, I also agree with this opinion." ”

Things came to this point, and the hearts of the academicians of Antoine calmed down.

In addition to the above statement, it is also because of the understanding of Sean.

After all, the two have been together day and night for three months, and they have some understanding of his character and way of doing things.

Although the other party is an out-and-out lord, he considers things from various interests, and his words and deeds are full of calculations.

But when it comes to the grandeur of his style, it is definitely the only one seen in the life of Antoine's parliamentarian scholars.

The other party will definitely not calculate on such small things, on the contrary, the other party pays great attention to these small details.

Although it was not opened, ninety-nine percent of the scholars of the Antoine Council could be sure that it contained a book of papermaking and printing processes, and the remaining one percent was probably reserved for all sorts of accidents.

"Now that we've made a decision, let's see if the young lord's character is worthy of our trust, huh......" The Aubrey Council scholar twisted it lightly, and the lock on it was broken, although the wooden box was opened, but it was only a surface layer opened, which made the scholar can't help but let out a low cry of surprise.

"What's wrong?"

"Is it true or not?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Several of the other council scholars couldn't help but stick their heads over in curiosity.

Although this matter made them a bit of a child's play, but the things involved in it are indeed closely related to the future direction of the Warlock Alliance, and it must be false to say that they don't care or worry at all.

"It's a puzzle lock. The Aubrey Council Scholar smiled playfully, "This is a small obstacle that the young lord designed for us, and this is challenging us!"

Aubrey showed the box to the other council scholars, and saw that it was covered with long and short strips of wood, leaving only a small gap, and the rest of it was mixed together.

If you want to open the wooden box intact, you must first solve the puzzle on the surface of the wooden box and open the hidden lock inside.

With the abilities of these people present, not to mention a box with a mixed structure of hardwood and steel, even if it is a pure metal structure, it will only be a matter of minutes for them to disassemble it in a violent way.

However, if they did so, it would be tantamount to bowing their heads to the young lord whom they had never met before before in the Eternal Night Army, and they would really lose their reputation as a gathering place for the wise men of the Warlock Alliance.

Sure enough, the other council scholars all showed interested expressions, and none of them proposed violent dismantling.

"Who are you?" Aubrey simply fiddled with it twice, and then gave up on his own initiative, his hands-on ability was not particularly strong, and he tried rashly, but it was not interesting to laugh at himself.

"I'll come!" "The scholar of the Garr Council took the initiative to take the wooden box of the hidden lock, observed it carefully, and began to fiddle with it, "This kind of hidden lock, it is complicated to say, in fact, the principle is almost the same, there is one or more latches inside, according to the number of hidden pins, the difficulty of opening, it is geometrically multiplied, because of the wrong position, you can't open this lock, in this, there are at least three hidden locks, okay, open, the young lord wants to stump us with this, so he looks down on us a little." ”

The three hidden locks of the wooden box popped open at the same time, and two extremely beautifully framed books appeared in front of several scholars.

"You're still good at this, so let's distinguish the authenticity. The Gard Council Scholar took it out of the locking wooden box and handed it to the Barrow Council Scholar beside him, and the locking wooden box was left for himself.

Although the hidden lock wooden box is opened, it does not mean that he knows how to make it, and he has a soft spot for this kind of small thing with exquisite workmanship.

The Barrow Council Scholars unceremoniously took over the two books and quickly flipped through them, the Warlock Alliance, including the Speaker, had a total of seven Council Scholars, but internally, they still had different divisions of labor, each with their own strengths and focuses.
